Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 1011: Doctor Qu

“Doctor Zuo, I’m really sorry.” Liu Cishan of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery was the most embarrassed one after causing such chaos.

Zuo Cidian’s smile faded as he said, “Now that things have progressed in this manner, there’s nothing to say anymore. Now, instead, we have to act carefully so as to not have the patient or his family members complain about us.”

“Yes, I have asked the doctor-in-charge to talk to the patient.” The person who represented the Orthopedics Department of the First People’s Hospital of Wuxin City was also an associate chief physician.

Zuo Cidian nodded and said, “There’s nothing else apart from that. This kind of thing usually doesn’t happen. I’ll just notify Doctor Ling.”

“Okay, we will be more careful in the future.” Liu Cishan felt dejected.

The scale of the First Hospital of Yun Hua City was not very large. It was somehow similar to basic tertiary Grade A hospitals. Liu Cishan had worked in this hospital for twenty years. He was already very familiar with the people in the area, and he also had a very clear idea of how things go about in this sort of situation. Hence, he did not expect that he would end up embarrassing himself because of the patient’s family.

However, for doctors, the unpredictable changes of diseases could never be compared with the changes in the patients’ families.

Liu Cishan did not dare to promise anything as well. After a while, he laughed it off, and he was relieved that this matter was considered settled.

However, after sending off Zuo Cidian, the first thing the associate chief physician of the Orthopedics Department did was immediately calling for the patient’s doctor-in-charge and asking him questions in detail while also giving him instructions.

The patient’s doctor in-charge was a little uneasy.

The associate chief physician of the Orthopedics Department said, “The patient’s family members can’t just hire a freelance surgeon without going through us. What did the patient’s family say?”

“The patient’s family members suggested that if it is not convenient for us to have the surgery, they would consider looking for a private hospital to have the surgery.”

The associate chief physician could not help but glance at Liu Cishan.

“This family is a little stubborn anyway, so it’s better to send them off. But still, it’s up to you.” Liu Cishan could not tell the people in the Orthopedics Department how to do their job. He could only give suggestions.

“The Achilles tendon repair is actually a minor surgery. The point is, the patient is still a coach, and he has requirements for his mobility. So, we introduced him to Doctor Ling’s freelance surgery. Who would have guessed a sister like this would appear among the patient’s family members?” the associate chief physician of the Orthopedics Department explained and said, “If things just don’t work out, it’s best to transfer him to another hospital.”

Liu Cishan nodded. “The thoughts of the patient and his families are rather hard to grasp.”

“Yes, I am also afraid they will be disgruntled again.”

“No matter what, Doctor Ling isn’t making any complaints, so let’s not worry.” Liu Cishan was also not quite certain about how he should progress with the situation now. Although once in a while, some of the patients’ family members would do simple yet incredibly stupid things, doctors would also make inexplicable decisions because of certain reasons as well. So, he was not entirely too sure what Doctor Ling would truly do.

……

At the airport…

“Your coat, sir.” An air stewardess smiled and handed over a new Gucci coat to Doctor Qu.

“Thank you.” Doctor Qu took his coat with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to pick up his suitcase. He felt relaxed.

He bought the coat using the money he made from the freelance surgeries he performed previously. It cost as much as his current month’s salary.

However, Doctor Qu did not care about this kind of thing now. Once a doctor started freelance surgeries, his perspective on money would change completely.

Doctor Qu walked out of the passage slowly, dragging the suitcase behind him without considering it as a burden.

In the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, there were various chief physicians and branch directors ranked above him, and there were a number of highly educated, talented young doctors with hair ranked below him. He was never able to relax in that environment.

Doctor Qu was at the peak of his life when he served as Liu Weichen’s attending physician.

At that time, Doctor Qu wanted to perform the surgery for Liu Weichen. Although the probability of success was not high, he still held hope that he would get to perform the surgery

After Liu Weichen finished his surgery, Doctor Qu felt that the more surgeries he performed, the less interesting they became.

He knew that his skills would never reach Ling Ran’s level, and it was also not easy for him to get a promotion.

“Doctor Qu, this way.” A local representative of the pharmaceutical sales company the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center worked with and a family member of the patient had set up a sign at the pick-up point. They waved at him.

Doctor Qu’s feet were light as he walked with a smile on his face.

Compared with struggling in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, it was better to come out and make a living while he was young.

Of course, it was not so easy to come out and make a living, especially when he was aiming for the big hospitals.

Doctor Qu could only spare some time to perform one or two freelance surgeries after he had completed all his work.

Most of his surgeries were associated with private clinics in the Shanghai market. These private clinics would want a commission, and the places they arranged were usually places that doctors who were even more famous were not willing to go to. However, Doctor Qu did not care about that so much.

He was very satisfied as long as he could perform freelance surgeries, even if it would take three to four hours to get to the place.

He was unable to set a high price or perform multiple surgeries at one time like the chief physicians anyway.

He was only able to search for suitable chances for him to perform freelance surgeries in places that were not in Shanghai and cities that were not provincial capitals.

“You have worked hard, Doctor Qu.” The local pharmaceutical sales representative had never met Doctor Qu personally. It was just that his colleagues had asked him to pick up Doctor Qu at the airport.

However, pharmaceutical sales representatives were all cunning and slick people. They knew how to establish a good relationship with anyone.

He picked up Doctor Qu’s suitcase and said, “Our ride is here. It’s just a call away. We’ll take a high-speed rail lasting for two hours in a while. Doctor Qu, do you want to depart immediately or eat something first?”

“Let’s depart immediately.” Doctor Qu had predicted the journey, but he still felt a little sentimental. It was really a lot easier to perform freelance surgeries at Yun Hua hospital. After all, flying over to Shanghai was a long journey.

However, it was only an idea at the back of Doctor Qu’s mind. Yun Hua Hospital was like Ling Ran’s base camp. If he were to crash there, Doctor Qu would not be able to accomplish anything.

Doctor Qu had really studied Ling Ran’s Achilles tendon repair technique carefully.

After all, his research was in this area.

To be honest, Doctor Qu was not able to believe that he would finish completing the Zhu-Ling Achilles Repair Technique, even mastering it by 80% sounded impossible to him.

This knowledge caused Doctor Qu to give up on getting higher qualifications, and he decided to start pursuing money instead.

The medical field had always been a world belonging to genii. Doctor Qu had known this for a long time. However, only when he distanced himself from a genius, especially those matchless genii, would he be able to decide his fate.

There were many times where Doctor Qu thought that Ling Ran had come over to the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center just so he could perform some freelance surgeries.

Of course, it was impossible for Ling Ran to get paid the same amount as he would receive in freelance surgeries when he went to perform surgeries at the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, but Doctor Qu did not think that the treatments given by Ling Ran were any different from that of freelance surgeons.

“Wuxin City is not close to Yun Hua.” Doctor Qu commented after he sat in the high-speed rail. Then, he looked at the distant Yun Hua City, and his heart became increasingly calmer.
