Ling Ran slept twice and persisted until noon. He could no longer sleep, so he got out of bed.
The soreness in his arms was relieved, and his mind was clearer. He recalled yesterday's experience again, and Ling Ran felt that he should be able to face it calmly today.
The Basic Treasure Chest he obtained yesterday could be opened in a flash, but he did not know what time it was in the middle of the night. Ling Ran washed up leisurely and took out a white bun that was no more than two days old, half a bottle of fermented bean curd that was no more than a month old, two bags of milk, a salted egg with a questionable age, and a tomato that he seemed to have missed. He placed all of them on the dining table and finished them in one go. Ling Ran then sat in front of the window and said lazily, "System, open the treasure chest."
The silver-white Basic Treasure Chest was displayed in front of Ling Ran. It shone as if it was calling, 'Open me, open me …'
Ling Ran raised his chin and gestured for the system to open the treasure chest.
The treasure chest was immediately opened.
A small book shone and appeared in front of Ling Ran.
However, Ling Ran remained unmoved.
He had opened the Basic Treasure Chest ten times in a row, and all he got were Energy Serums. If he considered the overall probability, he should have gotten something else.
He waved his hand and opened the skill book, and a row of notifications appeared.
[Obtained Master Level MRI Reading for Four Limbs.]
Ling Ran raised his eyebrows. He had seen a lot of MRI scans recently, especially hand scans. He had to read them carefully before every surgery. However, he did not even have a Novice Level MRI Reading skill. What was the difference between him and a Master Level MRI Reading skill?
As Ling Ran thought about this, a large amount of information surged into his mind.
Scanning strategy for hand scans.
Scanning strategy for foot scans.
Sagittal anatomical map and coronary anatomical map of MRI.
Metal artifacts in MRI, magnetic sensitivity artifacts, T2 penetration effect, clearance effect …
Ling Ran recalled the MRI images he had seen before and compared them with the information in his mind, as well as the situation of the surgery. His train of thought suddenly became clear.
His Master Level MRI Reading Skill could obviously allow him to obtain a large amount of information from an MRI scan, especially when it was combined with his understanding of the anatomy of the upper limbs. It would be even more useful.
As for this skill, it might be somewhere between Novice Level and Specialist Level when it came to other parts of the body. There would be more information when it came to the MRI scans of the limbs.
For example, Ling Ran did not even need to see the image of the brachial plexus scan. He already had a good understanding of the uniformity of the magnetic field, the contrast, and other aspects of the brachial plexus.
It could be said that the information that Ling Ran could read from the same MRI scan had greatly increased.
His limbs were extremely good at making up for lost time.
An MRI anatomical map was completely different from a visual dissection.
An MRI image was used to distinguish different tissue structures by the depth of the color of the image.
This method of distinguishing was clear most of the time. However, in order to clearly distinguish each tissue structure in different scanning methods, it also required a certain amount of practice.
This kind of training often required one to read thousands of MRI images, have a deep knowledge of the anatomical maps under the MRI, and constantly analyze the correct results.
Ordinary doctors might not be able to reach Master Level in their entire lives.
Actually, there was no need to guess. If he couldn't reach it, then he couldn't.
A doctor's time was also limited. Even if he was willing to devote his limited time to the study of unlimited medical skills, it was impossible for him to reach a satisfactory level in all aspects.
Ordinary doctors might be willing to spend their energy reading and understanding X-rays or CT scans.
Of course, they were only willing. Most surgeons could not reach Specialist Level in reading and understanding X-rays and CT scans, and it was even rarer for them to read MRI scans.
Most surgeons in hospitals would not carefully read the scans before performing some minor surgeries.
This was because they could get very little information from the scans. Reading the scans for ten minutes was not as much as the information they could get within ten seconds of opening the surgical field. Since this was the case, many doctors gave up on reading the scans carefully. If there were no problems, they would just carry out the surgery.
The most typical example was appendectomy. Because the appendix was often in a free state, if there were scans that could accurately see the position of the appendix, it would naturally be very easy to complete appendectomy. However, in the practice of surgery, many people chose to open the appendix and then look for it.
It was very common for an appendectomy to spend twenty to thirty minutes looking for the appendix.
Ling Ran was also quite satisfied with this skill.
Any skill could be considered satisfactory for a poor intern.
The only thing that he was not satisfied with was that it was difficult to explain the origin of this skill. Lower Groove Clinic did not even have an MRI machine, and it was a little unreasonable to use it as a learning base.
However, Ling Ran immediately threw this problem to the back of his mind.
Explain? There was no need for any explanation.
There were countless types of young doctors. There were those who were considerate, those who were good at learning, those who were obedient, those who were beautiful, those who were ugly, those who followed the rules, and those who kept getting into trouble …
There were only two types of great doctors: those who could cure diseases, and those who could not.
"Son."
"Son!"
Ling Jiezhou and Tao Ping's voices were heard from downstairs one after another.
Ling Ran responded, put on his slippers, and went downstairs. He nodded at the old patients who were hanging up their bottles, and then looked at his father and mother, who had just returned from shopping.
Madam Tao Ping had probably bought new clothes, and she puffed out her chest to show them to the neighbors. Ling Jiezhou held his wife with one hand and pressed down on his wallet, which was screaming in pain, with a smile on his face.
"Son, we all saw you save people yesterday." Tao Ping waved her hand and called Ling Ran over. She said, "It was broadcasted on TV, and your father even called the neighbors over to watch. Everyone praised you."
"My son can save people now." Ling Jiezhou sighed with emotion, and he wiped the corners of his eyes. He did not know whether he was moved by Ling Ran or his wallet.
"When I came home, all of you seemed to have fallen asleep …"
"You must have come back too late."
"It's not too late …" Ling Ran furrowed his eyebrows and decided not to continue this topic.
Ling Jiezhou coughed a few times, held his son's arm, and walked through the courtyard. He laughed a few times and said, "Your mother and I woke up this morning and made an important decision."
"An important decision?" Ling Ran was a little puzzled.
Ling Jiezhou nodded solemnly and said, "Look, our family's business has improved recently, and we've earned some money. You're also very successful as a doctor. Last night, you saved two people, and one of them was a police officer. Your mother and I were so happy that we couldn't sleep for half the night … No matter what, we want to give you a reward. Come with me … "
As Ling Jiezhou spoke, he pulled Ling Ran out of the courtyard with one hand and held Tao Ping's hand with the other.
The family walked in a semicircle around their courtyard and arrived at the back alley.
The back alley was very narrow, and there were also illegal buildings built by various families. They looked like storage rooms used to burn coal and firewood in the past, and warehouses used by families to store old things. Occasionally, young people who had separated from the family would temporarily stay there for a period of time.
The Ling family's backyard also followed the trend and built two sheds, which were locked with a rolling gate.
Ling Jiezhou raised a rolling gate and said to Ling Ran with a smile, "Considering that it's not very convenient for you to go to Yun Hua Hospital every day, after careful consideration, your mother and I …"
"You mean this morning?" Ling Ran asked to confirm.
"After careful consideration, your mother and I …" Ling Jiezhou continued, "We decided to use most of our savings to buy a car!"
Ling Ran looked at the car-shaped object covered with a new plastic sheet under the rolling gate. He was a little surprised, but he was also quite surprised.
"Aren't you very happy?" Ling Jiezhou chuckled a few times, then put on a serious face and said, "The car is for you, but there are a few things I want to say. First, you must drive safely. I won't say anything about wearing a seatbelt, but you must develop good driving habits … Second … Third …"
Three minutes later, Ling Jiezhou continued, "Lastly, although our family's business has improved a little, we are still a normal family. This is also your first car, so don't think about having a good car. I've always believed that things should be sturdy and durable, and cars are even more so. Cars are meant to be driven, not built. This time, your father asked someone to help you buy this car. Even though it's a second-hand car, it's still very new. It was a Volkswagen Jetta that was just released two years ago, and it hasn't been overhauled."
The Volkswagen Jetta was as famous as the Volkswagen Santana for its durability. Even if it was a second-hand car that cost tens of thousands of RMB, it could still be used as a means of transportation.
Ling Ran nodded in understanding. He also had some expectations for his first car.
"Alright, now let's get ready to reveal the final answer." Ling Jiezhou automatically added a clatter. He exerted force with both hands and pulled up the hard plastic covering the car. He raised it up high and asked Ling Ran loudly, "How is it? Isn't the black one quite cool? Let me tell you, a second-hand car that's been washed clean is still easy to drive … "
Ling Ran coughed and said, "Dad, this is a Volkswagen Beetle. It's red."
"Huh? I put it in the wrong garage. " Ling Jiezhou's face turned a little red. He turned to look at his wife and said in an ingratiating manner, "This is the car we bought for your mother. She often goes out for tea, so it's inconvenient for her to drive it."
Ling Jiezhou shook off the hard plastic covering his eyes and said to Ling Ran, "Forget it. Go inside the shed and take a look. This is the key."
Ling Jiezhou threw the black Volkswagen Jetta key to Ling Ran and took out a beautiful red key. He handed it to Tao Ping and said with a smile, "Why don't you try getting in the car? Let's go for a ride? "
"Sure, sure." Tao Ping quickly got into the driver's seat.
Ling Jiezhou sat in the front passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and said, "Start slowly. It's a new car, so you can't drive recklessly."
"Okay." Tao Ping placed her hands on the steering wheel and drove the Volkswagen Beetle out of the shed in a serious manner.
Ling Ran quietly lifted the plastic covering of the Volkswagen Jetta. It was a second-hand black Volkswagen Jetta. It was calm and down-to-earth, just as his father had said.
* Beep, beep. *
The Volkswagen Beetle let out a clear honk. The sunlight shone on the shiny car, making it look very dazzling.
