Chapter 742: Bright

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The day patient Liu Xiaoyun was discharged, the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery became rather lively.

He Yuanzheng and the interns all came to join the crowd—some doctors from other departments even came to see the commotion.

All eyes lay upon Liu Xiaoyun, much to her discomfort, but she still put on her shoes before she carefully stood up with her son’s help. Then, she took two steps and went down upon the wheelchair.

The thirteen-year-old teenager then walked to the back and pushed the wheelchair toward the exit.

A cacophony of cheers and applause started.

Liu Xiaoyun also could not hold her smile. Her face was slightly pale, and her lips were not red, but she still waved at everyone with bright eyes.

A week ago, Liu Xiaoyun was at death’s door. Now, she had alighted from the bed, stood up on her own, and was wheeling her way out. This recovery speed was not unheard of, but still impressive.

This was especially so for doctors from Yun Hua Hospital who rarely paid attention to Ling Ran. They had heard about how well the prognosis of the patients whom Ling Ran operated on were, but as to how good it was, they could only listen to the people parroting each other’s views about how good Ling Ran was.

Liu Xiaoyun, who was admitted to the hospital to receive treatment this time, was a single mother who brought up three children, had a lovely son who was pitied by the people, and had foreign doctors who were involved in her treatment and understood her condition, that was why Liu Xiaoyun had been receiving additional care and attention since the day she received surgery.

Therefore, everyone came to know of the fact that the medical case under Ling Ran was incredibly complicated, but the patient was able to leave the ICU in just two days, and discharged after a week. Judging by that time period alone, Liu Xiaoyun’s recovery was not very fast. For current hospitals, being able to go home in a week after a laparotomy was a norm, and it was normal for a patient to go home after receiving a surgery via laparoscope.

However, Liu Xiaoyun’s condition was very severe. She had a 3-inch tumor, something many considered huge. Moreover, it was a tumor in the liver. Laparotomy was very harmful to the patient. Forget everything else, being put under anesthesia for a few hours was already a challenge for the patient.

But Liu Xiaoyun had truly recovered. At least until now, she had been pulled from the gate of hell back to a safe zone.

“You will need to receive chemotherapy next. You need to persevere through it.” Ling Ran was not good at discussing the condition of cancer patients with the patients themselves, so he could only give her an earnest reminder at that moment.

Zuo Cidian quickly continued the topic. He first passed a stack of promotional booklets to Liu Xiaoyun’s son before he said, “You need to come to the hospital according to the doctor’s requirement, and this is the most basic thing. Chemotherapy is rather difficult to endure. You might have seen a lot from the television and internet. Actually, current chemotherapy technology is very advanced, and there are many new medicines available. Most importantly, you need to persevere. If you just go through half of the entire chemotherapy session, you might as well don’t receive it at all. The doctor from the Oncology Department should have told you before…”

Liu Xiaoyun listened and nodded, but she could not help but raise her head to place her attention on her son’s face.

Her thirteen-year-old teenager had a determined look on his face as he listened to the doctor like he was attending a class, and he obviously wanted to remember every detail.

Liu Xiaoyun secretly sighed, and she subconsciously touched her son’s head.

She then raised her head and thanked Ling Ran and the other doctors again.

The notification that he received a Sincere Gratitude Treasure Chest was heard right on time.

Together with it was the Peers’ Admiration Treasure Chests, and there were a total of four of them.

Since Peers’ Admiration was also a one-time reward, Ling Ran guessed that the doctors who gave this treasure chest were from other departments instead of the Emergency Department and the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. After all, the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery had been impressed by Ling Ran countless times, so it was impossible for them to give away four of them in a go.

‘Keep the treasure chests first, I don’t want to open them now.’ Ling Ran had accumulated enough Energy Serums, and he was not lacking any skills right now, which was why he was not in a hurry to open the treasure chests. Perhaps he will accumulate them for a period of time for now and get a big number before he opened them at once, and he might be able to get something good.

The system put away the treasure chests without saying anything.

In the afternoon, Ling Ran did a ward round as usual.

Now, his hospital beds and extra beds surpassed two hundred. This number of hospital beds was more than the hospital beds in most of the departments in the hospital. Right now, Ling Ran was not the only one who used up the hospital beds when performing surgery, Lu Wenbin, Zhang Anmin, and Yu Yuan would also demand to have three to six beds every day.

If Ling Ran did not implement the long-term hospitalization system, he might not be able to use the extra beds.

The additional beds were basically additional spots gained from the expansion of the Emergency Medical Center.

When the Emergency Department was upgraded to the Emergency Medical Center, it did not only change their reputation, but also brought about many substantial benefits. For instance, Huo Congjun had a higher degree of freedom in the Emergency Medical Center, and he could get more personnel authorized, as well as get more corresponding funding.

Besides, the basic infrastructure of the Emergency Medical Center had been greatly developed. Before the reception hall, a small building was newly built for the use of the selection of patients, and they also built in a fever clinic to reduce the probability of nosocomial infection outbreaks. The newly renovated hospital ward which extended from the warehouse made the ward area bigger. The newly renovated Operating Theater 1 had also finally a demonstration room to call its own, and it was very suitable for the purpose of the doctors showing off.

Newly hired nurses and ambulance drivers also made the Emergency Medical Center of Yun Hua Hospital livelier.

When Ling Ran walked through the corridor, he could feel the attention from more people. He did not really show it, but he was not satisfied with the mess in the ward area. There were more patients coming from other places, so correspondingly, there were more family members who kept the patients accompanied here. If they had one hundred and fifty patients here, their family members coming in and out would double that. Together with the nurses and care workers, when a group of people rushed out to watch him, he would feel like he was stuck in traffic.

“Doctor Ling, come to us.” A young girl quickly waved her hand when she saw that Ling Ran wanted to leave.

“Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling, we—” Another girl did not want to lose. She took down the scarf from her neck and waved it as vigorously as she could.

“Doctor Ling…” More kerchiefs, handkerchiefs, and scarves were waved along the corridor.

Ling Ran firmly shook his head. He only came to take a look at the patients today, but he would not go check room by room. The long-term hospitalization system implemented by Ling Treatment Group caused many patients to be hospitalized for more than fifteen days. Since it was the Emergency Department, the medical insurance companies would not investigate them as strictly.

Under such procedures, Ling Ran also did not need to do a ward round for every patient each week. Normally, he just needed to check specific patients who had just received surgery, while the remaining patients would be passed to their doctors-in-charge.

Today, Ling Ran was not ready to break the rules either. He followed his plan of carrying out his ward round for the patients who received knee arthroscopy and Achilles tendon repair before he went back to the waiting room in the Operating Area. Then, he saw three chefs with long white hats on their heads busying themselves with work in the small canteen.

“Ling Ran!” Tian Qi showed a sweet smile and said, “My family farm has a few good cows, so my uncle deliberately sent steak over by air transport. He said that he wanted to let you try it.”

“Your uncle?” Ling Ran was surprised.

“Yes,” Tian Qi answered, then she said happily, “My uncle is in-charge of the agricultural business in South America, and he also has a shipping company under him. A few years ago, he participated in a bull riding competition and injured his knee. He has not recovered from the injury even after such a long time had passed, so he went to consult a local doctor there, and the doctor told him that there’s a Chinese doctor who performs knee arthroscopy very well!”

Tian Qi looked very proud, and she said, “My uncle wants to invite you for a surgery, but he’s afraid that you’re not willing to go, so he deliberately sent a cow and three chefs over by air.”

“The chefs came over by air too?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm… Where does he want to have the surgery?”

“Is Brazil okay? His condition is not suitable for a flight, but we can take my personal jet there, and maybe treat it as a working holiday.” Tian Qi was full of earnest hope.

Ling Ran thought for a while. “Alright, but I can’t go immediately.”

Tian Qi instantly brightened. “Of course, we have to get ready first.”
