Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 859: Could not Do It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Remove the thread on time, avoid contact with water, don’t touch the ground, take care of it, and the scar will be smaller.” Ling Ran solemnly answered a few questions from a patient with a calm attitude.

With Energy Serums, he had the advantage of time. Others had to be in a hurry at other rescue points, and they might not even be able to save that many patients even if they worked overtime, but Ling Ran… if he worked overtime, he could treat even more patients than what the disaster can produce, so much so that Ling Ran had a lot of time to answer the patients’ questions in detail.

In truth, the production of patients was dependent on time.

In big cities like Yun Hua, there were more patients during the day, while in Bazhaixiang, when a large number of patients appeared, all of it was caused by disasters.

When the progress of Ling Ran’s treatment group managed to help them treat all the patients caused by the disaster, the treatment burden of Bazhaixiang hospital branch was significantly reduced.

The patient was misty-eyed as Ling Ran gave those instructions. “Doctor Ling, you’re so good. Thank you, Doctor Ling…”

The doctors who stood at the front lowered their heads because they were embarrassed by the patient’s attitude and did not want to complain about how selective the patient was in choosing to express his gratitude.

Ling Ran’s attitude was still the same. He had a decent smile that fit social expectations as he sent the patient out. He then went to take a bath and changed his clothes.

Since Ling Ran had the Perfect Surgery mission, he will naturally have some requirements to dress up perfectly if he wanted to perform surgery. At such times, his underwear would also cost 399.

Almost twenty minutes passed when all changes were made, and everything was ready.

Ling Ran stepped out and opened the system page. He saw that there was a very clear figure that stated 2/1 for his Perfect Surgery mission, and his reward was two Basic Treasure Chests, which he received.

Ling Ran only took a glance at it. He did not open it.

Now, he had accumulated four hundred and two Basic Treasure Chests. If he were to include the two from just now, he would have four hundred and four of them. He had opened more than thousands of Basic Treasure Chests since the beginning of his career, and he currently did not have any urgent need for any skills.

Of course, even if he did not have any urgent need for any skills, it did not mean that he had any need at all. Basic Treasure Chests can give him some unimportant skills to fill up his skill bank, and the consumables they gave him were all the energy that can provide him to do continuous work. It would do him no harm no matter how much he accumulated them.

Ling Ran just wanted to wait for a good number.

Relatively speaking, Ling Ran liked the Perfect Surgery mission. On the one hand, when a surgery was done perfectly, it would align with Ling Ran’s mindset. On the other hand, it also aligned with Ling Ran’s mindset as well if he continued accumulating Basic Treasure Chests from it until he obtained a round number.

Anyhow, it was impossible for any Transformer to appear from the current Basic Treasure Chests and Intermediate Treasure Chests.

“Any critically wounded patients?” When Ling Ran came to the on-call room, he asked Xiang Xueming, who was in here first.

“No, but…” Xiang Xueming hesitated for a moment and said, “The township hospital said that it was ready to transfer patients here.”

“Oh,” Ling Ran said and asked, “What kind of patients?”

“Liver laceration. Doctor Gan from the township hospital took the initiative to send him over.” Xiang Xueming emphasized this fact.

Bazhaixiang hospital branch was the hospital branch of the Cangping District in Yun Hua City. The township hospital was the hospital of Bazhaixiang. Both were in Bazhaixiang, but they did not have much contact. After all, they were all small lower-rank hospitals. Even if they formed any sort of connection with each other, it was meaningless. It would be better if they did what Xiang Xueming did and asked freelance surgeons from high-rank hospitals.

Of course, there was no way for doctors in the township hospitals to invite senior doctors like Zhang Anmin at a cheap price.

However, township hospitals these days were different. Although the rank of hospitals and doctors who came from Changxi province to Bazhaixiang to provide aid arrived after those from Hua Hospital, a lot of them still arrived in a continuous stream. Among them, the weaker hospitals and doctors were sent to schools or government buildings to set up shelters, and did something similar to doctors sending medicine to the countrysides.

Those who were able to stay in the township hospital were from rather strong hospitals.

Ling Ran did not understand all the politics behind this. He just understood that a patient was going to come because a hospital was sending him over here while he sat and listened in a corner. He immediately asked, “Which hospital is based in the township hospital now?”

Xiang Xueming said to himself, ‘Doctor Zuo would have understood it.’ He hurriedly said, “It’s from the provincial hospital and Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.”

After that, Xiang Xueming explained. “The main focus of the township hospital has always been traditional Chinese medicine. Usually, they only do infusion and prescribe Chinese medicine.”

This explained why Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was stationed there. Zuo Cidian understood it. He could not help but stroked his chin and frowned, “It means that the patient is sent by the provincial hospital? Why would the provincial hospital be willing to send the patient here?”

It was a conventional rule for lower-rank hospitals to send patients they could not handle to high-rank hospitals. If they treated the same patient with the same disease, if the patient was unlucky enough to die in a tertiary Grade A hospital, as long as the hospital did not do anything wrong, it would not be punished. But if the patient died in a secondary Grade B hospital, if the hospital did not transfer the patient before that happened, it would be criticized. If luck was not on its side, it would get punished.

In Yun Hua City or Changxi Province, the provincial government and Yun Hua Hospital competed against each other. Everyone felt that they were the top dogs. Naturally, it was impossible for them to send the patients they cannot treat to the other hospital for treatment.

Zuo Cidian was shocked by this, and he could not help but think about it.

Xiang Xueming spoke tentatively, “It is Doctor Gan’s insistence.”

“He sure is brave.” Zuo Cidian was surprised.

“I think he’s afraid of responsibility.” Xiang Xueming pursed his mouth and explained, “Doctor Gan used to be a barefoot doctor.”

Zuo Cidian, who came from a town hospital himself, instantly understood. “He doesn’t have someone taking care of him and is going to retire soon? He’ll be afraid of trouble, then.”

Xiang Xueming nodded and said, “Now, the patient can only take a helicopter if he’s to be sent to Yun Hua Hospital. The cost can be subsidized, but no one has, but no one has the specific regulations as to how much they are going to subsidize just yet.”

“Maybe it’s the patient’s request. Did Doctor Gan make the decision?”

As Zuo Cidian and Xiang Xueming tried to figure out the situation together, they were probably not far from the truth.

Xiang Xueming whispered, “The patient is here. Should we take him?”

Zuo Cidian knew what Xiang Xueming meant, but he said with a smile, “Yes, why not? If we have everything that we need, we will operate on the patient. Even if we don’t, the patient will be sent back to Yun Hua Hospital anyway.”

“If the patient still refuses?”

“The provincial hospital asked to send the patient to Yun Hua Hospital, but he refused. If Yun Hua Hospital were to decide to transfer him, where will he go? To live is better than to die. If the patient is willing to be transferred, this indicates that he still wants to live,” Zuo Cidian said as he looked at Ling Ran. “Doctor Ling, why don’t you have a quick check later? If you can help him, please do. If you can’t, I think there is no need for the patient to get out of that helicopter. We’ll just send him straight to Yun Hua.”

Ling Ran nodded slowly, and then looked in the direction of the operating theater as he said, “The equipment in the operating theater is still incomplete. We cannot perform many of our surgeries.”

“If we can’t do it, they would not be able to do it too. Don’t worry, no matter who decides to send the patient to us, they must know the condition of our operating theater. If we can’t do the surgery at all, they would have sent the patient directly to Yun Hua. They’ll just be causing trouble to themselves if they decided to send the patient here halfway through their journey to Yun Hua Hospital.” Zuo Cidian laughed again and said, “But the surgeries that we do are surgeries that can’t be done by the provincial hospital.”
