Great Doctor Ling Ran

When Ling Ran left the operating theater, he received the “mission accomplished” notification from the system.

The reward that he got was a Basic Treasure Chest, which meant that today’s surgery was not perfect.

Ling Ran’s mind began racing, because he had Perfect Level Atrial Septal Defect Closure, yet he could not perform a perfect surgery.

If anyone else were in his place, it would be unreasonable for them to even dream about conducting a perfect interventional cardiovascular surgery on their first try.

However, Ling Ran never took the word “reasonable” for granted.

Perfect level skills resulting in perfect level surgeries were natural, and of course, this being his first interventional cardiovascular surgery was part of the reason why it was not perfect. But what was the reason for him not being able to create a perfect surgery from the perspective of skills?

Ling Ran walked into the shower room, got undressed, and bathed in hot water. While he thought, he did finger stretching exercises.

He exercised by putting his hands together and his fingertips against each other. Then, he pushed his fingers against each other.

The hot water was very comfortable, and Ling Ran intentionally increased the intensity of the exercise. This was the basic training he often did, which could exercise the strength of his fingers to ensure the accuracy and strength in surgeries.

When there was no definite training direction, Ling Ran habitually practiced his basics.

Perhaps, if he strengthened his basics, he could improve his maneuvers in the details of the surgery?

Ling Ran carried on with the exercise with uncertainty.

Since he was free, before he had any ideas, he would naturally exercise his basic skills.

“I heard that Ling Ran went to the Cardiology Department for surgery today.” In the shower room, two more doctors came in and chatted as they walked.

The Emergency Medical Center could provide Ling Ran with a separate room, but the shower room of the surgical suite was public, and the area at the inside was separated into small rooms. The doctors changed clothes in the outer room, and the process was similar to that of a bathhouse. The privacy and decoration in this shower room were slightly better, and it was also more convenient than a public bathhouse. However, the doctors who needed to perform surgeries at the surgical floor could not enjoy things like a private shower room.

Ling Ran, who was in the middle of bathing, paused for a moment when he heard his name. He then continued bathing without paying too much attention to the conversation.

Being talked about was normal for him. He had long been indifferent to the content or people who were involved in such discussions.

The two doctors who had just entered the door were discussing excitedly.

“I have no idea when Ling Ran trained to perform interventional surgeries.”

“Interventional surgeries have always been simple…”

“Are they really that simple?”

Both of them laughed out loud.

“Seriously, have you seen Ling Ran do interventional surgeries?”

After a few seconds of silence, there was a sound of water splashing, and a muffled voice rose. “I’ve seen him do hepatectomy and Achilles tendon repair.”

“Who hasn’t?”

“What do you think about it?”

This time, the water in the bathroom next door splashed, and a faint voice echoed, “It feels good when I watch it, but after I finish watching it, I feel gloomy.”

“Haha, I felt the same, but cardiology surgeries really make a lot of money.”

“That’s why there are competitions for it.”

“Perhaps we’ll get to see something major happening.”

Ling Ran wrapped a bath towel around himself and walked out of the shower room. He was still doing the finger stretching exercises. He turned a deaf ear to the comments of two junior doctors.

He never paid attention to whether the Cardiology Department made a lot of money.

In terms of making money alone, Ling Ran made enough money by being a freelance surgeon on weekends. In addition, when he performed freelance surgeries, the patients would end up staying in those hospitals and not take up his hospital beds in Yun Hua Hospital, which meant that he was also increasing the number of hospital beds he had in that hospital or that department in a disguised manner. For Ling Ran, it was extremely convenient.

The money the Cardiology Department earned was from the consumables. To some extent, they exploited the loophole of the current management system. In terms of the income of a department, it was not really that outstanding.

In other words, the Cardiology Department only had the money and the way to issue more bonuses to the doctors but had no outstanding advantage in purchasing instruments and equipment.

In addition, the surgery they performed in the department was relatively boring, and Ling Ran’s interest in it had been greatly diminished.

The Department of Internal Medicine, at the end, was still the Department of Internal Medicine. Even if they used interventional surgeries, the level was still very low (read: not as fun).

With a department like this, even if Ling Ran was in charge of it, he would leave it for other people to manage it.

He would not compete for it.

Of course, if Department Director Yuan and others insist on having Ling Ran take over the department, Ling Ran would not strongly refuse it.

With that thought, Ling Ran drove home and texted Tian Qi. [The surgery went well and the occluder worked well.]

After a few minutes, Ling Ran got a reply.

[That’s great! What’s for lunch?]

[Meat!] Ling Ran replied just as quickly.

Even though Ling Ran drank an Energy Serum, after spending a whole day in the hospital, he still became hungry, especially after he took a bath.

If Ling Ran could choose, he could eat a pot of meat now.

After he reached home, he parked his car and entered the restaurant. Ling Ran saw a table full of meat and four beautiful copper pots.

Tian Qi was dressed beautifully, she was sitting on the side facing the door. Ling Jiezhou and Tao Ping were sitting on the opposite side, they were talking and laughing. There were two chefs with toques busy preparing the seasonings in the middle.

“Ling Ran, you’re back.” Tian Qi saw Ling Ran immediately, and she smiled so much that her eyes curled up.

“You haven’t eaten?” Ling Ran looked at the time and sat next to Tian Qi. That was the only empty chair left.

Tian Qi nodded vigorously and said, “After you went for surgeries, I took the opportunity to call the board of directors. Once I’m free, I went over to drink some tea with your mother.”

Tao Ping smiled warmly and said, “Tian Qi brought a thirty-year-old Yiwu tea over. It’s very tasty.”

Tian Qi smiled again. “Madam, you gave me a teacup made by a master. It’s also very beautiful.”

“I am glad you like it. Hmm… sit down and have a meal. Now that you’re a busy man, you don’t come back home that often…” Tao Ping said.

Lin Jiezhou coughed a couple of times and said, “I’ll help pour the water.”

Ling Ran had been focusing on the table in front of him.

“I’ve had someone prepare lamb, beef, fish, and vegetables.” Tian Qi introduced the food with a smile and gave Ling Ran a plate of seasoning.

“Hmm… can you please add a little more pepper?” Ling Ran pointed at the middle of the seasoning.

“Oh, you like chili?” Tian Qi was extremely surprised.

Ling Ran nodded. “Most of the time. Why do you ask?”

“I thought that handsome people would not eat chili,” Tian Qi said in a surprised manner.

Once she finished speaking, Tian Qi quickly tried to cover up what she said, “By the way, has the sponsor given you the funds for the Emergency Medical Center to build the ICU? Do you need our help?”

“I don’t know.” Ling Ran shrugged. “Department Director Huo said that we’ll be able to start using it in two months.”

“After the construction, there will be a lot of follow-up work. If you need help, you can come to us,” Tian Qi said as she took mutton and put it in Ling Ran’s pot.

The water boiled, and slowly, its aroma floated in the air.
