Chapter 813: Become Your Helper

“Shall we move him to the General Surgery Department’s ward?” Associate Department Director Ouyang offered. As sincere as he was, some part of him hoped to have Ling Ran indebted to him, one way or another.

In a hospital like Yun Hua Hospital, the rooms in the wards were never enough. Even the weakling He Yuanzheng from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery would still need extra beds most of the time, and it was even more so for the General Surgery Department.

Of course, compared with other small diseases, cancer patients were regarded with more importance by the departments, and Associate Department Director Ouyang himself was willing to receive them.

Ling Ran did not immediately answer.

If the operation was to be performed by the General Surgery Department, it was natural that Officer Xu should be handed over to the General Surgery Department. This was not only a problem regarding hospital beds, but also a problem of specialization in the medical field. In a stomach cancer operation, three surgeons, an anesthetist, and two nurses were just the bare minimal lineup needed. If the surgery were to be a little more complicated, it would be common to add one person in each category, which would then mean that six to nine people were required to perform the operation. With so many people, one could not expect everyone to know everything, hence it would be better for the patient if placed in the department which was more familiar with the kind of operation and surgical method needed.

Even a senior associate department director such as Associate Department Director Ouyang focused mainly on the field of stomach and intestines. He was not even involved with surgeries on the esophagus and pancreas.

The follow-up care and recovery process of the patient will be even more reliant on nurses who were familiar with the situation.

This made Ling Ran a little hesitant to open the Intermediate Treasure Chest.

However, his hesitation was only momentary. In the next second, Ling Ran gave an order to the system, “Open!”

If Ling Ran were still a newcomer, he may not have made such a decision. After all, even if a Master Level related skill came out of the treasure chest, he may not be necessarily better than Associate Department Director Ouyang’s skill.

Ling Ran was not too familiar with Associate Department Director Ouyang as of now, but from the information he gathered here and there about him, in terms of stomach cancer surgery alone, Associate Department Director Ouyang was at most at Master Level, and he might even be at High Master Level. Since stomach surgery was relatively simple, it was not on the same order of magnitude with surgeries like hepatectomy. In addition, Associate Department Director Ouyang had performed a large enough number of surgeries, and Yun Hua Hospital’s General Surgery Department was also a strong department. If Ling Ran only evaluated him based on his level when it came to stomach cancer surgery, Associate Department Director Ouyang was definitely at national level.

However, if Ling Ran can obtain the corresponding techniques and pair with supporting skills, Associate Department Director Ouyang would not have that advantage.

First of all, hundreds of years of abdominal anatomical dissection experience could rival the accumulation of experience a Master Level surgeon had.

Take car repair as an example, Associate Department Director Ouyang would at most have repaired the cylinder hundreds or thousands of times. Ling Ran’s anatomical experience was equivalent to playing with the engine from head to tail by disassembling them hundreds of times, and since different people had different physiological structures, the gap in this experience will only be greater when it was transferred to the human body.

In addition, the existence of Virtual Humans was an extreme bug in the medical world.

Although Ling Ran was now left with only around three hours for his Virtual Human, the time could compare to the value of an Intermediate Treasure Chest, and it could be considered an incredibly rare consumable, and it was really very useful. It would only take a few minutes to eliminate a lot of mistakes.

In contrast, the ability to read various scans was more ordinary and more suitable for providing information to Associate Department Director Ouyang …

In front of Ling Ran, a bright light emerged.

Two Intermediate Treasure Chests and 312 Basic Treasure Chests paved a golden avenue.

Ling Ran immediately saw a skill book in the middle.

There were 314 treasure chests, and only one skill book was found.

Ling Ran frowned slightly and thought, ‘With such a low skill book to everything else ratio, if the skill that came out is not useful for the moment, then this ratio simply can’t be justified.’

The golden wave of light in front of Ling Ran trembled slightly.

‘I’ll look at the skill book first.’ Ling Ran raised his chin as he watched the blue shining skill book open, and a line of words appeared on the title page.

[Comprehensive Skill Book: Gastrectomy (Master Level): Comprehensive techniques include “subtotal gastrectomy”, “total gastrectomy”, “partial gastrectomy”, “gastric antrum removal” and other skills.]

Ling Ran nodded when he saw the comprehensive technique. He now needed more than just a gastrectomy. Now that he had a comprehensive skill book, the system could only be described as very thoughtful.

“Doctor Ling?” Associate Department Director Ouyang waited for a long time before Ling Ran responded and was slightly unhappy, since he was the one called Associate Department Director Ouyang over.

“Associate Department Director Ouyang.” After Ling Ran collected the skill book and put away a whole land of pure Energy Serum and a four-hour Virtual Human into his pocket, he said, “I think we should have the Emergency Medical Center as the place to perform this operation.”

“The Emergency Medical Center as the main operating place?” Associate Department Director Ouyang frowned and was even more unhappy as he asked, “Who do you want to invite to be the freelance surgeon?”

As a gastrointestinal expert, especially a person with high experience in stomach cancer resection, Associate Department Director Ouyang could debate with any expert in the related field in the country.

Under these circumstances, he did not feel that Ling Ran should look for foreign aid. If the patient’s family was the one who requested it, Associate Department Director Ouyang would usually not be too opposed to it, since he also often went to big cities to perform freelance surgery. However, if the request was raised by a doctor, Associate Department Director Ouyang felt that he had the right to be unhappy about it.

“I’ll do it myself,” Ling Ran answered.

Qin Min and Old Xu’s eyes lit up.

Almost instantly, a system prompt appeared in front of Ling Ran.

[Achievement: A patient’s sincere gratitude.]

[Achievement Description: A patient’s sincere gratitude is the biggest reward to a doctor.]

[Reward: Basic Treasure Chest]

Ling Ran could not help but look at Old Xu again. He had not expected this person to be Treasure Chest’s spamming trigger.

Associate Department Director Ouyang’s eyes narrowed.

If they were not in front of the patient, Associate Department Director Ouyang would have questioned Ling Ran. ‘Have you ever performed a stomach cancer surgery before?’

However, after being a doctor for so many years, Associate Department Director Ouyang would never be so stupid to stir up conflict with other doctors in front of the patient. If Ling Ran were a young doctor, he would just pick on him for fun, but a doctor like Ling Ran could not be humiliated.

No matter how incredible Ouyang was, he was still just an associate chief physician of the General Surgery Department and the leader of a treatment group. He was not even as great in status compared to the General Surgery Department’s He Yuanzheng…

When he thought of He Yuanzheng, Ouyang Kan shuddered again.

Everyone knew how the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery was being abused by Ling Ran right now. If it were not for Old Huo and Ling Ran’s tremendous influence, everyone would speak up for justice.

Of course, when the people who cannot speak up for justice and could not win against Ling Ran and Director Huo looked at Ling Ran and Huo Congjun, they could feel just how awe-inspiring they were.

Ouyang Kan changed his mind and asked, “Doctor Ling, are you going to perform the stomach cancer surgery alone yourself? Are you confident?”

“If you’re willing to help, Associate Department Director Ouyang, I’ll be more confident.” It was rare for Ling Ran to extend an invitation. After all, although he obtained suitable skills, the success rate would be higher if he had the associate director of the General Surgery Department helping him.

Ouyang Kan’s first thought was to refuse and ridicule Ling Ran. ‘What a joke, I am one of the best stomach cancer experts in Changxi Province, and you want me to be your assistant?’

But when he looked into Ling Ran’s eyes, especially when thinking about Ling Ran’s record, and then realizing Ling Ran’s age, Ouyang Kan unexpectedly said, “If you insist, I can be your assistant.”
