Old Xu was arranged to stay in the ward of the Emergency Medical Center, and the entire department started working.
Surprise and curiosity were one thing, but the main reason was the reality. The Emergency Department had never performed stomach cancer surgery before. The assistants in Ling Ran's treatment group had never done it before, and the nurses in the department had never cared for patients before. During this period of time, naturally, those who could learn would do so, and those who could find helpers would quickly ask for help.
No one would say that it was unreasonable for Ling Ran to accept a stomach cancer surgery. Most people were not qualified to say this. Besides, everyone knew that Ling Ran had advanced from appendicitis to hepatectomy within two years. They knew that he was going to start a new surgical method, but they did not expect it to be a cancer-related surgery.
Moreover, for the other people in the department, stomach cancer surgery was more profitable than gastric ulcer surgery, just like the bonus for liver cancer surgery was higher than that for liver cancer surgery. More than one-third of the bonus of the Emergency Medical Center now depended on Ling Ran's treatment group. If Ling Ran wanted to start a surgical method with higher returns, everyone was naturally more inclined to cooperate.
Huo Congjun attended a meeting, and he only scolded half of the people in the meeting before he received the news. He rushed back to Yun Hua Hospital, found Ling Ran, and asked, "Can you handle stomach cancer surgery?"
"Yes, Department Director Ouyang also agreed to be my assistant." Ling Ran's answer was very comprehensive.
"Ouyang Kan?"
"Yes."
"Oh, Ouyang Kan is so easy to talk to." Huo Congjun was instantly relieved. For senior surgeons, opening a new surgical method was not as complicated as it was for junior doctors. It was like a senior mechanic who knew how to repair cars was sent to repair tanks. Although he would encounter countless problems, the speed at which he became a novice and mastered it was still much faster than a junior.
If an analogy had to be made, a doctor who could perform hepatectomy was at least equivalent to a senior engineer who could repair ships. Forget about changing to a different type of ship, even if he changed to repair an airplane, as long as there was someone to guide him, his learning progress would be very fast.
Most importantly, with Ouyang Kan around, even if Ling Ran did not perform well, he would still have someone to back him up. At least, Huo Congjun would not panic.
"What are you thinking? Why do you suddenly want to perform stomach cancer surgery?" Huo Congjun asked again, "You can't perform the surgeries now, can you?"
"There are not enough hospital beds." Ling Ran's expression was calm. He had so many Energy Serums that they were about to go moldy, but the number of hospital beds in the Emergency Medical Center was getting fewer and fewer.
Huo Congjun was stunned for a moment before he chuckled. He quickly changed the topic and said, "What's the situation with the patient?"
He had been a department director for many years, so he naturally knew that the management of the department had to pay attention to surgeries, but at the end of the day, surgeries were still related to the patients.
Ling Ran naturally did not hide anything. He described the situation in detail and said, "The patient requested it, and I'm willing to perform gastrectomy for him …"
"You've never performed stomach cancer surgery before. Does the patient know?"
"I know."
"Would it be better to let Ouyang Kan perform the surgery while you act as his assistant?" When Huo Congjun heard that Ouyang Kan was the only son of a martyr, his perspective changed slightly. As a military doctor himself, he still had a lot of feelings for the Disciplined Corps.
Ling Ran shook his head without hesitation. "I can do better."
The chief surgeon was the doctor who decided the overall thought process of the surgery, and he was also the absolute authority in the surgery. It would have been fine if Ling Ran had not mastered gastrectomy. But now that he had the relevant skills, Ling Ran's skill level surpassed Ouyang Kan's in all aspects, from the surgical approach at the beginning of the surgery to the selection of the surgical area, the control of the surgical process, and finally the completion of lymphadenectomy.
In terms of surgical experience, Ling Ran, who had performed nearly a thousand hepatectomies, could look down on Ouyang Kan, who had performed nearly a thousand gastrectomies in other situations.
In the chain of contempt for surgeons, stomach surgeries were just a little higher than defecation surgeries, but the difference was only the distance between the stomach and the intestines. If one were to use the contents of the stomach to describe a surgery, it could be said to be half defecation, and it sounded a little Japanese.
The only advantage Ouyang Kan had over Ling Ran was that he had performed more stomach cancer surgeries, and he had a better understanding of the surgical methods. But compared to the skills Ling Ran had mastered, this advantage was just a small weight on the scale. It was just like the surgeons in the United States. After their residency ended and they became attending physicians, they would dominate the department with a focus. It was very common for them to perform hepatectomy one day and gastrectomy the next. The skilled surgeons would even perform surgeries from the cranium all the way to the urinary tract.
Of course, this was also because the number of surgeons in the United States was small, and a hospital could not afford to keep a lot of them. However, since the surgeons in the United States could perform surgeries from multiple departments and maintain a certain standard, Ling Ran was confident that with the many skills he had mastered, he could definitely perform better than Ouyang Kan in terms of medical effects.
Ouyang Kan was not a genius surgeon. He was just an excellent doctor who followed the rules.
This excellence allowed him to stand out in the medical school when he was still a student and be assigned to the best hospital in Changxi Province. It allowed him to stand out in his department when he was a newcomer and become the fastest attending physician and associate chief physician during his batch. But that was about it. When it came to geniuses, doctors like He Yuanzheng, who was in his forties, could barely become a department director when he was at the national level, because he only managed to become one by chance.
A powerful genius doctor could publish seven articles in the New England Journal of Medicine in five years, come up with a new surgical method in three years, and create a new standard in a discipline every fifteen years.
Ling Ran was not familiar with Ouyang Kan, but when he was sure that his skills were better, he said without hesitation, "The success rate of me being the chief surgeon is higher."
"I'm not joking." Huo Congjun confirmed again seriously.
Ling Ran stared at Huo Congjun's expression and did not answer.
Department Director Huo laughed out loud. "I'm just joking. I know you're not joking."
Ling Ran still looked at Department Director Huo quietly.
Huo Congjun smiled and sighed. "If that's the case, I'll have to talk to Ouyang Kan. What requests does he have?"
"No," Ling Ran answered.
Huo Congjun smiled, picked up his phone, and called Zuo Cidian.
A few minutes later, Huo Congjun put down his phone and said in surprise, "This Department Director Ouyang really doesn't have any requests. He's willing to be an assistant?"
Ling Ran did not answer.
Huo Congjun was still talking to himself, "He's going to participate in the preoperative consultation, right? Then, he'll probably give you some technical advice, and then help you out. Is this person so easy to bully? "
Ling Ran raised his eyebrows.
Huo Congjun's expression gradually brightened. "It's not easy to find a doctor who's so easy to bully. Ling Ran, you did a good job, you did a good job! "
"I only plan to perform one surgery for Officer Xu." Ling Ran felt that Huo Congjun had gone too far.
Huo Congjun only laughed heartily, like a jade Pixiu rolling around in an elderly tourist group.
