Chapter 720: An App Called Doctor’s Here

“The number of broadcasts has already hit 250.”

“Two hundred and fifty sharp? That number doesn’t sound very good.”[1]

“For the past few days, a few hospitals had requested for us to install our system at their demonstration rooms. After we are done setting up and testing our system in these hospitals, I reckon that the number of broadcasts will hit 270. It might even hit 280. We will definitely hit 300 within the year.”

“Alright then, I’ll report to our boss that our High-Definition Live-Streaming Department has hit the target of 250 broadcasts.”

“Hehehehe.”

Everyone sounded cheerful during the meeting of the IT Department of Yunli Medical Company.

Ever since Yunli Medical Company was bought over, an institutional reform had been taking place. Plenty of existing departments had been overhauled, and many new departments had also been formed. They had also hired almost a hundred new employees by putting up job advertisements and headhunting. For this purpose, they had taken a loan of almost a billion RMB from the back. The IT department was one of the beneficiaries of this institutional reform.

It was just that no one had expected that results would come this quickly.

The IT manager could not help but say with a sentimental sigh, “It’s so easy to earn money off hospitals. I reckon that our department’s net profit this year will be able to sustain the whole company. It might even be more than enough.”

“But this money is tremendously hard to come by too. We have almost one hundred IT engineers now. Even though they are all temporary staff members who are outsourced, it’s pretty troublesome to manage them. I have always thought that programmers were pretty incompetent at life. Little did I know that doctors are the ones who are truly incompetent at life.”

“They don’t need to be competent at life.” The IT manager pouted and said enviously, “There’s an incident where a chief physician who woke up at three in the morning and realized that he had run out of toothpaste. He made a call and asked a pharmaceutical sales representative to bring a tube of toothpaste over to him by half-past three in the morning. Have you heard of this?”

“Bringing him a tube of toothpaste at half-past three in the morning? Are you sure that we’re talking about real toothpaste here?”

“Shouldn’t we focus more on the part where the chief physician woke up at three in the morning?”

“Why does this sound so cool?” The supervisor, who was an 80s kid, chuckled as he said, “Back when I was in school, the media always talked about how students who score high marks in school are incompetent at life. They made it sound as if people who knew how to fold their blankets were genii or something. Well, look at how things turned out. The ones who scored high marks in school and are incompetent at life ended up as doctors and programmers, while the ones who scored low marks in school and are competent at life work as pharmaceutical sales representatives and other stuff. I think it’s pretty fitting.”

“Pharmaceutical sales representatives serve doctors. As for programmers, they probably serve prostitutes who got out of prostitution.”

“Hehehehe…”

“Isn’t what you just said a little too sinister? Hey, I’m a programmer too.”

The manager’s laughter was the loudest. When he was done laughing, he slapped his head and said, “Oh, by the way, I just remembered something regarding the mobile phone app Director Tian bought over earlier, Doctor’s Here, where patients get to rate doctors. They just pushed out a new version of the app and are asking us to help them promote it. Do tell the marketing department to notify the hospitals about it.”

“Sure.” Even though the staff member in the IT department who was responsible for communications was still fantasizing about being with an ex-prostitute, he answered pretty quickly.

…..

At Yun Hua Hospital, after Ling Ran carried out eight hepatectomies at one go, he rested for half of the day before carrying out another eight hepatectomies. Courtesy of the live streaming platform of Yunli Medical Company, the doctors in Changxi Province became aware of something—the excellent liver surgeon was back in business.

Moreover, he was back after operating on an academician as well as the chief physician of the General Surgery Department of a tertiary Grade A hospital in Beijing.

The first thing this kind of fame brought about were countless invitations for freelance surgeries.

More freelance surgeries!

To small hospitals, freelance surgeons were actually a very important resource.

People nowadays desired better medical services, especially those who were gravely ill. Patients from cities wanted to seek medical treatment in Beijing and other provincial cities, patients from towns wanted to seek medical treatment in Beijing and other provincial cities, and patients from villages wanted to seek medical treatment in Beijing and other provincial cities too.

Under such circumstances, the leaders of small hospitals had to be very wise to retain their patients.

Of course, to doctors, the most important thing was to elevate their skills. Even though being skillful did not bring about any direct benefits, doctors believed that skills would never be a burden.

For doctors who relied on their skills for a living, even if they were better at bootlicking compared to stray dogs, whenever they encountered a tremendously skillful doctor, they would still act like a determined and hardworking rabbit with an extraordinary thirst for knowledge.

“Alright, roger. I’ll arrange it immediately, but you might have to wait until next month, is this okay? Next month’s too late? Then, how about this? Doctor Ling operates on patients in the middle of the night sometimes. No, ten at night is too late. Doctor Ling sleeps early and wakes up early. He usually starts operating on patients at two or three in the morning. Yes, he usually wakes up around this time…”

Zuo Cidian was holding his phone, and the call only ended by the time his phone was scorching hot. He took a deep breath and said to the other members of Ling Ran’s treatment group. “Alright, this is the sixth or seventh hospital that called me today. A hospital in Cangping District is inviting Doctor Ling for a freelance surgery. Arthroscopy. I arranged for you to operate on the patient at night. You are fine with it, right?”

Ling Ran naturally nodded. He liked operating on patients at night very much because of the silence. This was especially true as he had the advantage of being able to consume Energy Serums.

Zuo Cidian knew this about Ling Ran too. Hence, he merely popped the question carefully. Just as he was about to say something else, his phone started ringing again.

Ling Ran waved in dismissal as a gesture for Zuo Cidian to pick up the call. He rose and stretched. He had consumed a bottle of Energy Serum and stuck a pain-relief plaster on his body, and the combination of those two made him very alert right now. He said as if he was a general who was gathering his troops. “Is there anyone who’s still up for a surgery?”

Lu Wenbin propped his head on the table, and he did not even need to move his hands. He had to braise pork trotters every day, and his level of fatigue was only second to Ling Ran. Moreover, he did not have the advantage of possessing a system. He was so tired right then that he did not even have the energy to step on the accelerator of his Mercedes-Benz. Of course, he no longer had any energy to carry out surgeries.

Zuo Cidian was still on the phone. Ma Yanlin looked around and stood up with determination.

He was also very tired whenever his wife came home. However, with determination, he was still able to make his d*ck hard. Hence, Ma Yanlin was still pretty confident when it came to this.

Yu Yuan, the chief resident who was always in the hospital, stood up too. However, Ling Ran only saw her after a long while.

“Alright, that’s enough. I only need two assistants. We’ll see if we can get any houseman to help out while we’re on the way,” Ling Ran said and headed toward the operating theater. However, they had a smooth journey and did not encounter any houseman or medical intern who was alone.

Ling Ran, Ma Yanlin, and Yu Yuan got to work. This time, it was an Achilles tendon repair surgery, and the patient was an amateur athlete.

Even though Achilles tendon repair surgery was a scheduled surgery, the waiting time could not be too long. After being away from Yun Hua City for a long time, the waiting list for Achilles tendon repair surgery and arthroscopy was pretty long. Fortunately, there were plenty of empty hospital beds. Moreover, Ling Ran still had many bottles of Energy Serums.

*Shick…*

Huo Congjun entered the operating theater. He inspected the operating theater like a lion who was inspecting its territory.

“Ling Ran, is the surgery going smooth?” Huo Congjun asked nonchalantly. He used his leg to drag a stool toward himself and sat down.

The anesthetist today was an attending physician from the Department of Anesthesiology who was new to the Emergency Department, and he rarely worked in the Emergency Department. This was also the first time he had encountered a department director who snatched stools from anesthetists. He could not help but fall into deep contemplation as he stared at Huo Congjun from the back. ‘As it seems, what Young Su said is true!’

Huo Congjun wore a calm expression, and he did not even bother to glance at the anesthetist. He merely watched as Ling Ran worked. He then observed Ling Ran’s eyes as well as expression and said, “Do you want to give outpatient consultation a try?”
