Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 778: Ling Ran’s Celebration Party

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At Yun Hua Hospital, the patients who came to seek doctors were so densely packed together at the bottom of a huge building that they were like a swarm of ants.

The Inpatient Department was quieter, but those inside it will still find it noisy.

The big white goose, Fragrance Yard, walked fretfully. When it saw the children coming over, it immediately ran to the pond so that it would not end up pecking them and being punished for it later.

The children surrounding it became more arrogant. They laughed loudly while using a pack of snacks that cost 10 RMB to attract Fragrance Yard.

Fragrance Yard was very lazy. It only ate a bit of the snack when the snacks were thrown in front of it. Its fame at Yun Hua Hospital had surpassed most of the associate department directors. Therefore, it would receive endless food thrown at it every day, and the children it met were more than the pharmaceutical sales representatives the associate department directors met. If it ate every food thrown at it by the children, how was it supposed to ask for extras at dinner?

Fragrance Yard raised its head and did not even bother to chase away the sparrow and pigeon that came and fight for food.

In the past, it would definitely guard its territory. It would even attack the creatures that ate its poop, much less the birds who came to eat its food. However, after gaining 3 pounds, Fragrance Yard abstained from all worldly desires.

It just flapped its wings and tried to symbolically scare away other birds. Some newcomers would fly away anxiously, but those old birds would not bother to even pretend flying unless Fragrance Yard came in front of them.

“Mom, I want to touch the big goose.” A child with a bandage on his head wanted to go near the fountain.

The parents immediately held him and said, “The big goose cannot be touched. It’s very fierce, and it will bite anyone who touches it.”

“Really?”

“Really. Your dad got bitten by one in the past.” The mother immediately raised an example.

The child looked at his father doubtfully. Suddenly, a small voice was heard from the other side of the fountain.

The big goose sensed something was not right. It only managed to honk, and its wings were pulled by someone.

“Fragrance Yard, how is your body? It’s been a while since we saw each other.” Yu Yuan grinned while greeting the goose, and she took a thermometer before she inserted it into Fragrance Yard’s rectum.

Fragrance Yard turned around, looked at Yu Yuan, honked, and lowered its head dejectedly.

It seemed to be fatter than before, and it could hardly run, so it surrendered to its fate even faster than before.

“The caretaker of the goose is here again.” The small child pointed at the small human who grabbed the goose and shouted. Then, he looked at his dad and mom and asked, “Dad, mom, look, the big goose is not fierce at all—”

The big goose raised its head and looked over. Then, it lowered its head again.

Yu Yuan held the big goose and walked proudly around the fountain, as though she was inspecting the territory.

“Whew… Yun Hua Hospital is still the best.” When Yu Yuan felt that the time was about right, she pulled out the thermometer and gave it a rough glance. Then, she washed it in tap water before she let go of the big goose.

“Doctor Yu, you’re back.” The cleaner who worked near the fountain and cleaned up the goose’s poop walked forward naturally.

Yu Yuan nodded and said, “I’m here to measure its body temperature.”

“I heard that you guys went to Brazil and even encountered a flood?”

“Yes. We were trapped at a Brazilian hospital for a few days.” Yu Yuan patted her stomach. “And became fatter.”

“You won’t suffer much when you go with Doctor Ling. I heard that you can earn a lot when you and operate on some patients with Doctor Ling. Is that true?” The cleaner took the chance to ask.

Yu Yuan smiled without answering. Performing freelance surgeries was something normal for high level doctors in the country, but it was not a suitable topic for gossip.

The cleaner got ready to leave since there was nothing worth gossipping. Before he left, he saw the thermometer in Yu Yuan’s hands and asked in puzzlement, “Now, isn’t there a thermometer that releases a beep after it measures a person’s temperature? You’re still using this kind of old fashioned thermometer?”

Yu Yuan flung the thermometer in her hand and smiled. “The old fashioned ones are more accurate.”

“Is it important to be accurate when it comes to measuring the goose’s temperature?”

*Honk*

The big goose, Fragrance Yard honked in the fountain and turned around to look.

……

In the operating theater, Huo Congjun stepped open the door and saw Ling Ran in dark green scrubs. He was busy cutting up the hepatic artery under the rib.

Huo Congjun could not help but sigh. “I mentioned that we’d be organizing a celebration party for you, and you came to the operating theater.”

Ling Ran glanced at Department Director Huo, who he had not seen for a long time, lowered his head, and said, “It’s been a long time since I last performed a major surgery. So, this is the celebration party.”

There was no certified anesthetist in Guozheng Charity Hospital, and they could only opt for preliminary treatment for even the patients with very severe wounds, and their main treatment method was conservative treatment. They could not even perform surgeries like hepatectomy.

Surgery was a skill that could represent a surgeon’s comprehensive abilities. A minor surgery could still be easily handled by one or two surgeons. But when it came to the major surgery, the requirements were stricter. When it came to surgeries at the level of hepatectomy, if the hardware in the hospital was not up to standard, management level was not up to standard, the anesthetist was not up to standard, and even the level of nurses was not up to standard, but the doctor still persisted in carrying out the surgery, then the patient will absolutely die.

When Ling Ran returned to the country, the first thing he did was to read up on the information of a patient, attend the preoperative preparation for the patient, and perform surgery for a big liver.

Huo Congjun only smiled and said, “Anyway, only old people like us like celebration parties, young people like all of you may not like it anymore. Ahem… Hmm, I will leave first, let’s have a meal later, and you can share with everyone your stories in Brazil.”

After Huo Congjun finished speaking, he pushed against his mask and left happily.

Lu Wenbin, who was the first assistant, trembled, sighed and said, “Department Director Huo was so fierce just a few days ago. Doctor Ling, since you are back, there are more smiles on his face.”

“We accumulated quite a lot of patients as well recently. Department Director Huo might be quite stressed too,” Zuo Cidian whispered and provided an explanation. He managed to grab the opportunity as the second assistant today, and for that, he had even secretly called Xiang Xueming and let Bazhaixiang hospital branch provide a few high paying freelance surgeries for Zhang Anmin.

Without Zhang Anmin as the first assistant, Zuo Cidian and Lu Wenbin could become the second and first assistant respectively. Then, they would have time to butter up Ling Ran immediately.

Zuo Cidian regarded this highly. He even said logically, “The current configuration in the Medical Emergency Center is based on the condition where Doctor Ling is around. Forget everything else, there are plenty of patients who come for hepatectomy every week, along with patients who are referred to us for Achilles tendon repair, M-Tang technique, or for meniscus repairs. In fact, this shows that Doctor Ling has long since become the main pillar of our Emergency Medical Center and Yun Hua Hospital.”

“Are there many patients admitted now?” Ling Ran was slightly tempted.

“Many patients with hepatolithiasis have been admitted. There are also many patients who need Achilles tendon repair as well. The patients who need M-Tang technique were taken by Young Lu,” Zuo Cidian said in envy.

Lu Wenbin showed an honest smile. “It’s all because the customers… No, I mean, it’s because of the patients’ trust. I said that I’m your eldest disciple, and that’s why they were willing to let me operate on them.”

“In terms of age, I should be the eldest disciple, right?” Zuo Cidian snorted. On his forty-three-year-old face, other than the mask, only wrinkles could be seen on him.

Ling Ran listened to their argument, yet his brain did not process any of it.

He quietly lifted up the patient’s liver, stood with his back straight, broke it off gently, and put it back just as gently in its original place.

The cold light in the operating theater was silent and bright, just like the current Ling Ran.
