"Doctor Ling."
"Doctor."
"Huh?"
"Yeah …"
The doctors walked out of the door of the corridor of the Operating Area, and the patient's family members in the waiting area immediately surrounded them. Old Xu's wife and son were passed from the back to the front as if they were passing flowers.
"The surgery went smoothly. When the patient wakes up, you can see him outside the ICU, "Ling Ran said simply and gave a normal smile to comfort the patient's family members.
Based on Ling Ran's observations, most doctors would not smile in this kind of situation. It was normal for them to put on a stern and serious face, and Ling Ran agreed with this strategy. However, based on his personal experience, a smile that was more ordinary, polite, and unadulterated could also make people feel relaxed.
In the waiting room outside the Operating Area, what they needed the most was to relax.
Old Xu's wife and son did feel a little more relaxed, but they did not know whether it was because of the completion of the surgery or because of Ling Ran's smile.
"The patient is younger, and his physical condition is better. Now that he is sent to the ICU, he can receive better care, and his recovery will be relatively better. Mister Xu's insurance is very comprehensive, and a large part of the ICU expenses can also be reimbursed … "Zuo Cidian said slowly. He stood beside Ling Ran and tried to attract as much attention as possible.
"Send him to the ICU. Listen to Doctor Ling." Old Xu's superior, Captain Chu, who was not very good-looking, had a rough personality, was suspected of being involved in medical disputes, and had a lot of trouble, came out from the other side and made a decision for Old Xu's wife.
Old Xu's wife was originally confused. Now that she saw that Captain Chu had made the decision, she nodded and accepted it.
Zuo Cidian breathed a sigh of relief. He had done a lot of patient relationships, and he was also afraid of encountering people who were different from ordinary people.
"Um, Doctor Ling, let me treat you to a meal tonight. The surgery was so hard." Captain Chu chuckled. He annoyed Huo Congjun and the others, but he also collected enough information to prove that the doctors in the operating theater were indeed strong and did a good job.
Captain Chu was naturally in a good mood after coming to such a conclusion through indirect "interrogation". He was also willing to spend a few days' salary to treat Ling Ran to a meal.
Ling Ran naturally shook his head. "No need."
"Don't mind me. I've already booked the place. It's the Big Red Country, a big private room. Everyone, go, go!" Captain Chu shouted at the top of his lungs.
Zuo Cidian definitely had to stand up for this kind of thing. He said with a troubled expression, "Captain Chu, we won't be going. Doctor Ling doesn't like to go out to eat either."
"Go, all of you go." Huo Congjun came over from behind.
Captain Chu's face was filled with joy. "Department Director Huo is so open-minded …"
"I've invited the leader of your Municipal Public Security Bureau. I'll give him a good talk." Huo Congjun snorted. "Two tables. I'll treat your leader to one table, and you can treat Ling Ran to the other table." In front of a group of people, Huo Congjun said without hesitation, "As a police officer, you disguised yourself as a doctor and entered the operating area of the hospital. There's no such thing."
Captain Chu: (? ●?)/~ ~ ~
…
"Doctor Ling, I'll help you blanch the tripe. You only need to blanch this black tripe for eight seconds, and it'll be crispy when you put it out. It won't taste as good if it's cooked any longer." Captain Chu enthusiastically served as a waiter. He borrowed money from a small loan company to ensure that he would be obedient in the future.
Ling Ran saw that the waiter was using public chopsticks and a public spoon. He thanked him and said, "You can blanch it yourself. You don't have to do that."
"I'm really grateful to you. Old Xu doesn't have a butler at home, so I can only help him run errands. Sigh, it's not easy. You're a life-saver." Captain Chu said as he put another tripe into Ling Ran's bowl.
The tripe that was blanched for only eight seconds was indeed tender and crispy. After Ling Ran chewed it, he nodded slightly and said, "You don't have to thank me. Other doctors can also perform stomach cancer surgery."
For the current Ling Ran, having Master Level Gastrectomy was indeed not something to be proud of. If he were to be ranked in the national rankings, he might not even be ranked in the top two.
When he thought of this, Ling Ran quietly asked the system, "System, system, what's the ranking of my gastrectomy skill?"
"The gastrectomy skill you have is ranked first in Yun Hua City, first in Changxi Province, and 48th in China. If you carry out two hundred to three hundred correct gastrectomies, you might be promoted by one rank," the system answered very clearly.
Ling Ran was a little surprised. Being ranked 48th in the country did not mean that there were forty-eight amazing gastrectomy experts in the country. Just like how he mastered the M-Tang technique, Achilles tendon repair, hepatectomy, and other skills at the same time, the more advanced a doctor was, the more skills he might have mastered. It was just like how it was impossible for an expert in the General Surgery Department to be good at stomach surgery but not intestines. A doctor who was good at hepatectomy might also be good at gastrectomy.
It was precisely because of this that Ling Ran felt that his ranking should be slightly lower.
However, when he thought about the bonuses of other skills, it was understandable.
Captain Chu continued to count the time until he finished blanching the tripe. He then chuckled and said, "I don't know about other doctors, but Doctor Ling, we're all grateful to you for performing surgery on Old Xu. Old Xu's life was not easy."
"After the surgery, he still needs to continue with chemotherapy. We can't be sure about the follow-up treatment," Ling Ran reminded him. In China, the recurrence rate of early-stage stomach cancer was usually less than 10% within three years, but the recurrence rate would increase to 15% to 20% within five years, which was not considered low. Moreover, this was when all kinds of treatment methods were used.
Once the cancer relapsed, the survival rate was very low. There were very few people who could survive for more than three years.
Captain Chu was silent for a few seconds before he smiled in relief. "We'll talk about the future in the future. I'm not his father, so I'll just take care of him as much as I can."
"Captain Chu, I just checked my watch. You're very accurate at eight seconds. You said eight seconds, so it was eight seconds?" Lu Wenbin was still a young man, and he did not like to listen to these concluding topics. Instead, he was more interested in the tripe.
Captain Chu smiled. "When we do missions, we often have to calculate the time. The higher-ups said to release the dog after eight seconds, but you released it after seven seconds. If you go back, you'll be bitten."
Lu Wenbin came to a realization, and he felt a little regretful. "So, you still have to rely on experience, and practice makes perfect?"
"That's for sure."
"What a pity."
Captain Chu smiled. "If you want to practice, I can arrange it for you. We have a training base. However, it's easy for people in our line of work to get injured. Take my knee for example. One year, I fell while climbing over a wall, and I haven't recovered since then. I can't even run well. "
"You've never seen a doctor before?"
"I have. How can I not? The doctor said that I need to do surgery, but I'm a little scared, so I didn't do it. I've been dragging it out."
"What's the diagnosis?"
"Something like a meniscus injury."
Lu Wenbin could not help but laugh. "If it's a meniscus injury, you should look for Doctor Ling. Doctor Ling is currently performing knee arthroscopic meniscoplasty. There are even patients from abroad who are recommended to him."
Captain Chu was stunned for eight seconds. He stood up, picked up two pieces of tripe, and put them into the colander. He said, "Doctor Ling, my knee depends on you. I'll boil the tripe for you."
