Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 851: Give a Hand

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Four medical interns stared outside the window, trying to find traces of an ambulance. They looked like puppies waiting in a veterinary hospital for their owners to pick them up.

There was traffic in the distance, which meant that the early birds were already on the move to their workplace.

“It’s here!” Zhang Yuandong raised his arms. He narrowed his small eyes before he pointed at the front and sprang up.

At the end of the haze were the lights of the ambulance. They were flashing.

“Get ready,” Qi Zao was a little calm. She took a few pictures with her camera and then went to press the elevator button.

After a while, four ambulances stopped at the reception door of the Emergency Medical Center.

More than a dozen doctors who were ready rushed forward and swiftly divided the patients from the ambulance among themselves.

The four interns stood at the front, but they could not find the chance to help out.

When they encountered this kind of situation, other doctors would be competing with each other for work. When they saw interns they did not know, if they were not ready to give them work, they would just shove those interns aside to make room.

In fact, it was not just them. The older interns who were waiting in front of them and even the housemen did not have the chance to touch the stretcher. They were all forgotten in the main hall.

“Any more?” Li Bian’s voice was weak.

“No. This a mudslide.” A houseman who had a cold expression put on a cool pose and told the new female medical intern. “The parts that have the worst off from mudslides are always places where the ambulances cannot reach.”

When the medical interns heard this, they understood the situation. Their expressions changed a little.

Qi Zao subconsciously looked around. She saw several doctors from other departments shaking their heads slightly before they regretfully headed toward the elevator.

Usually, such a disaster required the hospital’s full cooperation. Basically, the people from the Orthopedics Department, who were the doctors most commonly seen in that kind of situation, to the people from the Craniocerebral Department, who had the most complicated skills, were all needed.

Most of the patients would only be placed temporarily at the Emergency Medical Center before they were pushed straight away to the surgical floor for surgeries.

But today, many people obviously had no chance to show off their potential.

“I wonder how many people were sent here.” Qi Zao instinctively tried to gather information.

“Four ambulances. Even if they were stuffed full, they can only get ten people.” The cold houseman sighed before he said, “The Bazhaixiang hospital branch can deal with minor injuries. Those who were transferred here most probably cannot even get up, and they’ll have to see how luck favors them. Well, don’t think about it too much. In the hospital, you should not think too much about this sort of stuff.”

When the four medical interns saw that the houseman’s expression had returned to normal, they were still dumbfounded.

The chubby Zheng Yuandong said, “I wonder how many people died.”

“Natural and man-made disasters have nothing to do with us.” The houseman looked at the four of them and said, “We are doctors. We try our best to save patients who were sent here. But if we can’t, it’s not our fault, understand?”

“If you phrase your sentence that way, you will get beaten up by the patient’s family.” Qi Zao had a very keen sense.

The houseman pursed his lips. “Why do you think people get sick? Because they are unlucky. Forget it, you’ll understand this in a few years’ time… Why don’t we exchange our WeChat username? We can keep in touch. I have friends at Yun Hua University too.”

“Sure,” the four medical interns quickly switched on their phones. Qi Zao asked, “Are your friends studying at Yun Hua University? Which major?”

The houseman stared at the feeble Li Bian. After adding her WeChat, he could not help but secretly sigh and said, “My friend is not studying there.”

“What is your friend doing then?”

“Mainly spending its time as a stray cat,” the houseman said. “I’ve fed at least three cans to that cat since it’s such a coward.”

……

In the operating theater, Ling Ran worked with Hu Congjun and helped operate on two crush injury patients back to back before he felt less tensed about the situation.

All patients in the Emergency Medical Center had been treated. Ling Ran’s skill in trauma emergency treatment was not comprehensive enough, and he performed better as Huo Congjun’s assistant instead of acting alone.

Hu Congjun did well too. He was so fond of Ling Ran all the way because of how Ling Ran spoon-fed him that he was so delighted that he was grinning. He nodded. “Those with good skills are indeed good…”

The junior doctor nearby was already sick of hearing the same thing over and over again, but he could only continue agreeing with whatever Huo Congjun said to flatter him.

“Director Huo, you have a point.”

“Doctor Ling really has good skills.”

“This patient is really lucky.’”

Huo Congjun was so happy when he heard those words that his laughter rang through the operating theater.

As the director of Yun Hua Hospital’s Emergency Department for twenty years, Huo Congjun spent the second half of his life enjoying praises from the public. If no one praised him, his surgery would not go smoothly.

When someone flattered him, Huo Congjun’s thoughts would be particularly agile, leading to him being able to perform at his full potential.

For critically ill patients, if Old Huo can operate on them at a high standard, the probability of their survival should be increased by at least twenty or thirty percent. From this point of view alone, Huo Congjun was able to bring out the full value of the junior doctor when he used him.

Ling Ran was so familiar with compliments and praises that he became desensitized to them.

However, it had been some time since he acted as an assistant, especially an assistant in a large-scale operation. He had been working for three hours, but those surgeries managed to refresh Ling Ran, as though he had been working on a task that did not quite require him to use his brain.

As long as he finished his share of tasks in the surgeries, Ling Ran would feel quite a strange bit of satisfaction.

He sutured with full seriousness and cut the patient’s spleen completely. He then watched the anesthetist and Old Huo work together to save the patient’s thigh. Each step was almost at the embodiment of the peak of Yun Hua Hospital’s skills.

“This patient is unlucky. He’s the only patient sent to us who is not a local.” Today’s anesthetist was Dog Anesthesia. He was smart and a little loquacious. After he noticed that the patient’s condition was stable, he would start to become chatty.

Old Huo just did two surgeries while he had compliments showered on him, which meant that he inevitably ended up tired. He straightened up once the anesthetist spoke and passed down the remaining work to someone else. He asked, “He’s not a local? What is he doing in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch?”

“I heard that he is a backpacker.” Dog Anesthesia shook his head.

“Alone?”

“Most probably. There is no hiking trail in that place. It’s just an old forest, and he probably went in there for an adventure. He was unlucky enough to run into a mudslide, but he’s lucky that he didn’t die.”

“His legs are saved,” Huo Congjun said lackadaisically. “It seems that he can only walk in the future. There’s no hope in him in running anymore.”

“It’s better than amputation. He’s also lucky that he encountered you, Department Director Huo,” Dog Anesthesia complimented Huo Congjun and said, “The patients dragged away by the Orthopedics Department haven’t been fully treated. Seriously, when it comes to the critically wounded, you’re still better in this regard, Department Director Huo. You’re already much better than them when it comes to treating the patients according to the severity of their injuries.”

Huo Congjun accepted the complicated readily and said with a smile, “I’m also fortunate that Ling Ran is here today, and the surgery in his abdominal cavity ended quickly, which meant that we saved some time to use to treat his leg. The only parts about him that is uninjured is his liver and his stomach and intestines have no major problems, or else, his medical record will be an entire essay in itself.”

“Department Director Huo, you have a point.”

“Such a pity.”

“They are casual injuries.”

“The king asked me to patrol the mountains…” Just as everyone was praising Old Huo, Ling Ran’s phone rang.

Junior Nurse Su Mengxue jumped up quickly and helped Lin Ran get his phone out of his pocket. She pressed the answer key and put it by Ling Ran’s ear.

In the mobile phone, Xiang Xueming shouted, “Doctor Ling? Is this Doctor Ling? I’m Young Xiang. The Bazhaixiang branch can’t handle the situation anymore. Can you give me a hand?”
