Chapter 844: Torrent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the meeting hall in Yun Hua Hospital, a few people sat scattered near the door while they chatted happily. They ignored the long table that was dozens of feet long in the distance, looking almost miserable.

Four pots of centipede tongavine were placed at the center of the long table. They looked a bit more wilted compared to the spider plants hanging on the windowsill.

In fact, the man who sat facing the glass door looked dispirited as well. However, he forced himself to chat with others. The smile on his face was clearly fake, yet no one could find any fault with it.

The few doctors who sat in front of him had their usual expressions. In fact, they looked slightly indifferent, but that indifference allowed people to feel more relaxed.

Only in the hospital would people be so tolerant of fake smiles and forgive other people’s indifference.

“Doctor Ling is here.” A junior administration staff walked in and reported obsequiously to the few leaders in the room.

“Okay,” the director of the General Surgery Department replied. He sat up straight, turned around, and said, “Dean Wu, let us listen to what Doctor Ling has to say first.”

“Okay.” Dean Wu straightened his back and showed a sincere smile that was anything but sincere. He then said, “When Ling Ran entered the university, he left an impression on me. I was quite worried at that time, who knew that he would actually be a top scorer.”

“As expected.” The director of the General Surgery Department chuckled and said, “Yun Hua University is quite good. In just a few years, they managed to produce such a great doctor. He is truly good because he can perform surgeries right after he entered the hospital.”

“He was already quite good when he was on campus, but he wasn’t as good as he is now.” Dean Wu’s smile seemed to be a little skeptical.

“That’s how genii are like.” The director of the General Surgery Department would not give any explanations. If he asked, he would be an idiot, so why should he?

*Knock knock*

The sound of a few people walking could be heard from the other end of the corridor.

This meeting room was used for the medical staff within the hospital. Anyone who sat inside could see what was outside clearly. Even if someone approached the room, the sound of them approaching could be immediately heard. Of course, no one would move as fast as flatterers, so they knew whoever coming was not there to flatter them.

Dan Quan, Ling Ran, Zuo Cidian, Zhang Anmin, and Yu Yuan appeared at the other side of the transparent door.

Dan Quan walked in front like a vanguard, and he walked a little too fast.

Ling Ran was behind him leisurely, and he had an imposing presence about him when he was flanked by Zuo Cidian and Zhang Anmin.

Yu Yuan could not be seen vaguely, and she was at the back of the group.

The director of the General Surgery Department smiled and stood up. Naturally, someone went over to welcome them.

“Doctor Ling is here. Old Dan, come and have a seat.” The director of the General Surgery Department nodded gently and said without beating around the bush, “Ling Ran, this is Dean Wu, and he’s also the dean of Yun Hua University School of Medicine, which is your university.”

“Yes. Hello, Dean Wu.” Ling Ran showed a smile. “He’s still our dean now.”

Everyone in the meeting room was shocked. This sentence was well said and was highly flattering, but it was something that Ling Ran will usually say.

Only Zuo Cidian’s expression remained natural. Yun Hua Hospital had long since become a hospital affiliated to Yun Hua University. If the dean of Yun Hua University School of Medicine was still referred to as a dean by the doctors of Yun Hua Hospital, it was still reasonable. So, Ling Ran was just telling the truth.

While he remained seated across them, Dean Wu’s expression became better, and he said, “As expected of a student who graduated from Yun Hua University. Hmm… Doctor Ling, we came here for an unreasonable demand.”

Ling Ran looked at them with his usual expression. He knew he would not be here without any special request.

Dan Quan looked over with slight envy and curiosity. Since he was now a chief physician, he received many requests from the patients and their family members. But he had never seen such a formal request made in such a high profile. However, that was mainly because his expertise was on single site laparoscopy. The nature of the surgery made it so that the surgeon will never treat any patient with major illnesses. Hence, at the very least, the patient did not need to worry about the surgery not going well, otherwise, they would have opted for multiple site laparoscopy or open abdominal surgery. If they did, the surgeon would have more room for maneuver.

However, the skill mastered by Ling Ran was totally different, especially when it was hepatectomy. As of current, his ranking in the country was very high, and his newly developed hepatectomy with intraoperative inspection was a life saving skill for patients with liver cancer and bad health.

After Ling Ran had been invited to be a freelance surgeon, he spent one third of his time performing surgeries related to the liver. Part of the reason for it was because he patients and family members heard of him, and the other reason was because his peers wanted to learn secretly from him as well as introduce him to others without restraint.

Dean Wu clearly belonged to the group of people who knew about Ling Ran, and he said, “I would like to invite you to perform a liver cancer hepatectomy for my father, but…”

He stopped before he continued in a troubled tone. “My father does not really want to receive surgery. So, can I ask you to perform surgery for my father as a student from Yun Hua Hospital?”

“The old dean has liver cancer?” When Ling Ran first entered university, he had listened to Dean Wu Senior’s lecture. As one of the co-founders of Yun Hua Hospital, Dean Wu Senior had lived a rich life worth being depicted as legendary. In Ling Ran’s impression, he should be in the status of enjoying a retired life…

Dean Wu Junior, who was not actually very junior himself, nodded gently. “My father is eighty years old now. Theoretically, such a surgery is too risky for him. However, when he received the report stating he had liver cancer, we found that it’s still in the early stage. If he doesn’t receive surgery, I’ll feel ill at ease.”

Ling Ran remained silent for a few seconds before he said slowly, “I can perform the surgery, provided if the patient agreed to do so.”

“As long as you tell my father that you graduated from Yun Hua Hospital, he would be willing to receive it.” Dean Wu Junior smiled wanly. “He actually knows about you as well. Yun Hua University has produced many doctors, but there are few who managed to rise to fame at such a young age recently.”

Zuo Cidian could not help but to interrupt the conversation, and he said, “If you need someone who graduated from Yun Hua Hospital, there should still be other candidates right?”

“My father is more willing to give young people a chance. If he chooses doctors who have been famous for a long time, he worries that he may give them too much pressure.” When Dean Wu Junior said this, his tone changed slightly, “I kept persuading my father to take care of his body and stop thinking about anything other than the surgery. He told me that while it is best if the doctors and patients do not think about anything other than surgery, since we are part of administration, we need to think more…”

Everyone remained silent in the meeting hall.

After some time, the director of the General Surgery Department lowered his voice and said, “Dean Wu Senior worries too much.”

A few people sighed non stop by the side.

“Has he taken his MRI scan?” Ling Ran did not beat around the bush. The patient’s thoughts and his condition were two totally different matters.

For an old man at eighty years old, if he was not in a good condition for surgery, there was no need to insist on the removal of the tumor. Not only will it lower his quality of life, his lifespan will also not be extended either, or rather, even if Ling Ran managed to extend his lifespan to a certain degree, if his quality of life was lowered too much, the loss will definitely outweigh the loss.

Dean Wu immediately took out the prepared MRI scans. For the time being, he was just as anxious as any other patient.

Zuo Cidian, who was at the side, looked at the information and serial number encoded at the right left corner, opened the laptop he brought over, and transferred the raw scans over.

Ling Ran first looked at the processed scans before he read the raw scans. His expression did not change at all.

After he finished, Ling Ran stood up directly and said, “Let’s go and check on the patient.”

Dean Wu and the others immediately stood up. Since their rhythm had been interrupted, all of them were slightly dumbfounded.

Ling Ran was the first to go out, followed by Zuo Cidian.

The other doctors queued up accordingly and followed Ling Ran in a group consisting of two people in a row.

Everyone wore a white coat, and from the distance, they looked like a white torrent.
