The attending physician watched Ling Ran's operation attentively, trying to find something that was not right. He did not have any ulterior motives. Even if he found something, there was a high chance that he would not mention it. However, it would make him feel better. It was just like how an old lion that was chased out of its pride would not be able to help but laugh when it saw a large piece of meat stolen by a jackal.
The attending physician watched as Ling Ran cut open the subcutaneous tissue, the superficial cervical fascia, and the platysma, all the way to the anterior cervical muscle … There was no problem. Although Ling Ran's speed was so fast that he could almost determine the position of the incision with visual inspection, the attending physician felt that he could do it too … right?
The small retractor opened the incision from the opposite side, so it was naturally impossible for him to make a mistake. The attending physician did not expect Ling Ran to have any problems here.
However, Ling Ran only used a few movements to separate the incision from the midline, expose the incision, and perform traction. This was something that the attending physician could not tolerate.
'There's no need to do it so quickly.' The attending physician lowered his head and thought to himself, 'There's no need to do it so quickly.' This sentence could be considered as a comment on Ling Ran's operation.
Ling Ran then performed traction, clipping, and suturing …
His movements were still fast and accurate.
The attending physician's fingers subconsciously simulated the operation, and his expression was still calm.
As a doctor in the ICU, he had performed more than enough minor surgeries like tracheotomy. When it was necessary, he could also do it so quickly, or when it was necessary, he could also do it so accurately …
When the attending physician thought of this, he slowly raised his head.
'The difference between me and Doctor Ling is about the same.'
With such an expression, the attending physician looked at the nurses and Ling Ran.
"I'll leave the rest to you." Ling Ran saw that the attending physician from the ICU was idling by the side, so he habitually handed over the remaining work to him.
The attending physician from the ICU did not even think about it. He habitually agreed to it. "Okay."
Then, he was stunned.
This was how life in the hospital was. High-ranking doctors would transfer their work to lower-ranking doctors, and their targets were often not necessarily the doctors in their own group.
It was also because the attending physician from the ICU subconsciously felt that Ling Ran's rank was higher that he obediently agreed to it.
He could not help but look around. From the nurses to Ling Ran and the other doctors in the ICU, none of them seemed to have noticed anything amiss.
The attending physician of the ICU could not help but smile wryly. He did not say anything else and quietly retracted the tracheotomy. He then connected the patient to the ventilator and gave the doctor instructions to prescribe medication.
Ling Ran still stood by the side without fighting for anything.
The medication in the ICU was more meticulous than in the operating theater, and it was even more meticulous than in the Emergency Department. For example, intravenous pumps and infusion pumps can control the speed of fluid infusion to tens of milliliters or even tens of milliliters per hour.
Ling Ran only had a superficial understanding of this, so he naturally had to step aside.
Even though the attending physicians in the ICU wanted to show off, they could not show off when it came to medication. This was what internal medicine was all about. The content of the work was meticulous, and they earned more money. They had less work pressure, fewer responsibilities, and fewer overtime hours, but they were not handsome.
"That's it for now. I'll check his blood Qi later." The attending physician calmly completed the follow-up work and gave a final medical advice. He then looked at Ling Ran and said, "Doctor Ling, are you done with your ward rounds?"
Not only could he not show off, but he also realized that there was a possibility of him seizing power. This caused the attending physician in the ICU to feel repulsed by Ling Ran's existence.
This was especially so when he saw that Ling Ran's forehead did not have any sweat. Some nurses even took the initiative to wipe it off, while his own hair was all over his cap, and no one paid any attention to him. This made the attending physician feel even more repulsed by Ling Ran.
Ling Ran was acutely aware of the repulsive feeling coming from the other side.
He was not a person who was good at socializing, but this feeling was indeed very familiar.
Ling Ran's attitude towards this remained the same.
He smiled faintly and decided to do his own thing step by step. He answered, "No."
The attending physician opened his mouth and thought, 'I asked you a question, but I don't really want to hear the answer.'
The attending physician complained in his heart and said, "Doctor Ling, you can see that we are so busy in the ICU …"
"Aren't we usually like this? Last time when the associate hospital director came for a ward round, your attitude was not like this. "A senior nurse retorted in dissatisfaction while she worked.
If there was a ranking of the fiercest nurses in the hospital, the ICU would be the best example.
Of course, the doctors in the ICU were also usually fierce and lacked etiquette. This was because according to the standard of etiquette, it was impossible for a unit like the ICU to exist.
However, when a normal fierce doctor faced the fiercest nurse, they would at most end up in a tie.
The attending physician frowned a little. He turned around and saw that the nurse who spoke was inserting the patient's catheter again. The thick … catheter was inserted into the place where it should go after a few strokes by the senior nurse. Then, the catheter went deep into the patient's body …
"Forget it." The attending physician pursed his lips and did not bother to say anything more.
The senior nurse chuckled, but she did not continue to pursue the matter.
"Doctor Yan, the patient you mentioned at noon has been sent over." A nurse picked up the phone and came over to inform him.
"I'll go and take a look." Attending Physician Yan took the opportunity to leave the ward.
A few fierce nurses immediately shifted their gazes to the remaining two resident doctors in the ICU.
The two remaining resident doctors did not even have a sense of presence earlier, but now, they felt as if they were blessed.
Ling Ran continued to make ward rounds without saying a word.
The rhythm of making ward rounds when there was something to save and when there was nothing to do made Ling Ran feel at ease.
Soon, Attending Physician Yan brought a patient into the ICU, and he was accompanied by a family member.
Yun Hua Hospital's ICU had strict visiting hours, but it was usually not that strict when it was implemented.
When a nurse noticed Ling Ran's gaze, she came over and explained to Doctor Yan, "This is the second time this patient has come in. He used to be Doctor Yan's patient. The patient is also cooperative with the treatment, and he has a strong desire to live. It's quite rare. "
"Oh," Ling Ran replied.
"The couple is quite pitiful. I heard that the girl's family is quite well-off, and she's a rich second-generation heir. The man was poor, and the woman's family didn't agree to it no matter what. In the end, they eloped … Now that they've finally managed to open a store business, the man is sick … "The nurse sighed at the side. The wind of gossip and romance had blown away much of her fierce aura.
It was only then that Ling Ran noticed that there was a rather graceful woman behind the patient. She seemed to be in her early thirties, and her eyes were fixed on the man on the hospital bed.
The man was wearing an oxygen mask, and he could no longer speak. His gaze was a little unfocused, but he still tried his best to look at the woman until he fainted.
"What illness?" Ling Ran asked.
"Stomach cancer, liver metastasis," the nurse who knew the situation answered.
Ling Ran raised his head and said, "Find his examination report and scans."
