"It smells so good." Miao Tansheng placed his elbow on the table and used it as a pivot to send the crispy streaky pork from the plate into his mouth. He was so happy that his fish-like eyes were twitching, and his brandy nose seemed to have turned even redder.
Ling Jiezhou calmly counted, "Six, seven, eight," and said, "Eat more if you like it."
"Pork is still the best, especially this streaky pork. Not only is it oily, it also has a special fragrance …" Miao Tansheng chewed the meat vigorously as if he had not eaten pork for a week, two days, and four hours. His face was full of happiness.
"Old Miao, you've earned a lot of money. Did you bring the money home and spend it on your wife?" Ling Jiezhou counted to eleven, twelve, and decided to interrupt Miao Tansheng.
Miao Tansheng heaved a sigh of relief and gulped down a mouthful of water. Then, he said with a smile, "How can that be? My wife is very thrifty. She can buy clothes with two sides. She will never buy clothes with only one side."
Ling Jiezhou looked at Miao Tansheng's chopsticks, nodded, and said, "I can see that."
"She can't be compared to you, Chief Ling." Miao Tansheng picked up another piece of streaky pork and put his chopsticks on the table. He chewed a few times and said, "In today's terms, Chief Ling, you're the second generation of a rich family. With such a big clinic, just the commission you collect is enough for you to travel to Tahiti. I wonder if I'll be able to open my own clinic when I reach your age."
Ling Jiezhou's veins popped when he heard that. He now had a whole chapter to criticize Miao Tansheng, but because Miao Tansheng's words were full of flaws, Ling Jiezhou did not know where to start.
"Doctor Miao, didn't you say that you found the patient? Did he come here by car, or what? "Ling Jiezhou decided to change the topic.
Miao Tansheng made phone calls all morning. He did not know how many people he had contacted before he finally found a suitable patient. Although there was only one patient, everything was difficult at the beginning. Ling Jiezhou still had hope for his first Achilles tendon repair patient.
Truth be told, when the Ling Family's Lower Groove Clinic was first established, they were able to perform surgeries. Simple debridement and suturing, appendectomy, slightly more complicated orthopedic surgeries, casts, and splints were all performed by Ling Jiezhou's father. Apart from that, the old man also knew Chinese medicine and could perform acupuncture. When a neighbor had a headache and fever, he could perform acupuncture on him.
It was only when Ling Jiezhou took over that the clinic was slowly transformed into a transfusion center and pharmacy. It was not that Ling Jiezhou could not hire a doctor. It was just that the environment was like this. Even if he could hire a good doctor with a high salary, his patients were still his neighbors. He could not possibly get sick all the time and seek treatment.
However, the current Ling Ran was no longer a good doctor.
Other things aside, Ling Jiezhou knew that Ling Ran's VIP consultation number alone cost 800 RMB. The scalpers were asking for five to six hundred yuan for a half-day consultation every week.
And in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, it was already common for doctors like Ling Ran to "register" in private clinics or private hospitals.
Patients who did not have medical insurance or did not care about reimbursement could go to private clinics or hospitals and pay a much higher price than public hospitals. They could guarantee to see a doctor and receive slightly better service than public hospitals.
The Ling Family had their own clinic. From Ling Jiezhou's perspective, it was also a good attempt to help Ling Ran open up a second battlefield.
Miao Tansheng was actually envious of this.
No matter how much it looked like a pharmacy clinic, it was still a clinic. Besides, the Ling Family's clinic had a complete set of licenses, a history, and a foundation. If it was given to him, Miao Tansheng would carry out breast augmentation surgery without hesitation …
"I'm really exhausted looking for this patient." Miao Tansheng answered Ling Jiezhou. He first complained, then said with a smile, "But it'll be more convenient in the future. I've already told them that as long as they find suitable patients in the future, they will send them to us. I can't say that there will be a continuous flow, but there will definitely be a lot of them."
"That's good. There's no need for a continuous flow. Our clinic only has a dozen beds, and we can't accommodate so many patients." Ling Jiezhou was talking about the beds that could be used for hospitalization. Naturally, the beds for fluid transfusions downstairs were not included.
Miao Tansheng chuckled and nodded. Then, he said, "After we finish the surgery this time, I'll make a call to report to the other families, and this matter will basically be finalized. But … crunch, crunch …"
Miao Tansheng was halfway through his sentence when he picked up a piece of crispy streaky pork and started chewing.
Ling Jiezhou silently counted to fifteen before he followed Miao Tansheng's words and asked, "But?"
"Some of the people I contacted are my classmates and friends, and some are my old colleagues and acquaintances. I'm thinking, should we give them something in return? We can also increase their enthusiasm. "Miao Tansheng's fish eyes twitched a few times. Miao Tansheng left the hospital and went to the clinic. He had his own understanding of the ecology of both sides, and he also knew how to communicate with each other.
Ling Jiezhou nodded without thinking much and said, "Let's do it like Golden Deer Hospital."
"Sure." Miao Tansheng did not plan to ask for a lot. If he really asked for a stimulating price and the patients sent over could not afford it, it would be really bad.
After he finished speaking, Miao Tansheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ling Ran and said, "Doctor Ling, can I be your assistant for the next surgery?"
"Okay." Ling Ran agreed immediately. For him, it was fine as long as he had hands as an assistant. For assistants with good skills, he would release some of the operations, and he would focus on the core parts to reduce the patient's risk. But for assistants with poor skills, such as Yu Yuan, as long as the other party was serious, Ling Ran could also bear most of the operations and only release the parts that the other party could bear.
Ling Ran had often used this reverse feeding technique over the past two years. In fact, as celebrity doctors grew in experience, they would more or less master some reverse feeding techniques. Otherwise, there would be an endless stream of doctors for in-service training, interns, and visiting doctors, and one of them would definitely cause trouble.
Miao Tansheng was relieved again. He thanked Ling Ran repeatedly and strengthened Ling Ran's confidence. He said, "My surgical technique in the past was actually quite good. Recently, I've been doing it often, so I won't screw up."
Ling Ran looked at Miao Tansheng and said, "It's okay even if I screw up."
Miao Tansheng, who was full of passion, immediately held back his impassioned words. He did not know what to say.
He knew that Ling Ran was definitely in a good mood right now.
However, when he thought that he would be Ling Ran's assistant in the future, Miao Tansheng could not help but start to feel anxious.
"By the way, when will the nurses and anesthetists arrive?" Miao Tansheng forcibly changed the topic.
"Two in the afternoon." Ling Ran was still very concerned about surgeries.
"In that case, everything is ready." Miao Tansheng became excited again and said, "The nurses and anesthetists in Yun Hua Hospital are also very busy, right? Is it easy to find them?"
"It's easy," Ling Ran answered, "When I'm not performing surgeries, they are idle."
With Ling Ran's surgery volume, the assigned nurses and anesthetists were basically overworked. Therefore, once Ling Ran was idle, the workload of the entire Emergency Medical Center's nurses and assigned anesthetists would be greatly reduced. Naturally, they would have time.
Miao Tansheng nodded repeatedly, but he heard Ling Jiezhou say, "Let Juan Zi perform surgeries as well. I'll hire two more nurses later."
Ling Jiezhou was still reluctant to hire more people, but he could earn more by performing surgeries. When he thought about it this way, it was not too much of a waste for Miao Tansheng to eat the thirteen large and twelve small pieces of crispy streaky pork belly.
Miao Tansheng thought about it and asked, "Has Juan Zi been a surgical nurse before?"
Ling Jiezhou said, "You can say that she has, but the young lady is quite eager to learn. She can learn pretty well after a few times."
Miao Tansheng smiled very reluctantly. "Young lady …"
