Chapter 837: Gather Together

“Separating forceps.”

“Electrocoagulation electrotome.”

“Check the blood loss…”

When Ma Yanlin managed to calm himself, the surgery was already progressing very smoothly.

Ling Ran became relieved after he observed half of the surgery. He called out to Houseman Qu Xiaolian to hold the laparoscope while he observed from the side.

Single-site laparoscopy had a slightly higher difficulty. Theoretically, if any problems occurred, they would need to perform open laparotomy to deal with it. No matter which mode it was, Ma Yanlin could actually perform the surgery. Ling Ran had actually come over this time with the intention of checking his performance.

“Doctor Ling, there is no bleeding. Should I place the drainage tube now?” Ma Yanlin performed the last check. He did not get any response from Ling Ran, so he checked again before he asked in a whisper.

“Yes, continue.” Ling Ran put down his hands as he answered, then he said, “When you performed separation with the electrocoagulation electrotome, you cut in too deep. Next time, remember to adjust the frequency.”

After he finished talking, Ling Ran turned around and left the operating table.

Ma Yanlin was stunned a little, and his mind immediately conjured all his previous maneuvers.

If Ling Ran had not said anything, he might be slightly arrogant when he left for home at night.

However, his mind was filled with all the surgical details now.

Ren Qi was extremely envious.

He was not envious of Ma Yanlin being able to perform surgeries. The lower rank hospitals had fewer patients, but the number of doctors was even fewer, so the competition for patients was not aggressive. Doctors who were able to perform surgeries would eventually get to do them. However, it was extremely rare for them to get guidance, and it was even rarer for surgeries which were more difficult.

For example, when Ling Ran went for freelance surgeries in the district, the local doctors in the field of hepatobiliary surgeries would get ready in advance. Besides maintaining their relationship with Ling Ran, more than half of them aimed to learn some skills.

However, in a hospital like Yun Hua Hospital, even a small resident doctor like Ma Yanlin could also get guidance from Ling Ran, so Ren Qi felt all sorts of complicated feelings in his heart.

When he saw Ma Yanlin lower his head to end the surgery, Ren Qi felt slightly dispirited.

Ren Qi, who was already a senior attending physician, naturally did not need to watch something like subcuticular sutures anymore.

He quietly took two steps backward, then he followed a resident doctor to leave the operating theater.

“Sigh…” Ren Qi sighed deeply. Then he raised his head and walked forward quickly.

It was his resting time just now, and in the subsequent hours, he still had surgeries to perform.

“Be careful, walk slower.” Ling Ran walked at a moderate speed. From the distance, he saw Ren Qi walking very quickly with his head lowered, and he reminded him of this.

Ling Ran was experienced with this kind of scenario. Many people, especially girls, always walked at a fast speed with their heads down. Even when he reminded them from afar, there were still some of them who bumped into him.

This was especially prominent during his time in school, Ling Ran always encountered this kind of careless people at the corner of the stairs, corridor, or even the entrance of the classroom.

The most troublesome thing was when he bumped into them, they would even open their eyes widely, ask for compensation, or ask to give him compensation.

Ling Ran just did not want to be bumped into.

Ren Qi stopped in a second.

He recognized Ling Ran’s voice because it was too nice to hear and easy to recognize.

Ren Qi felt that even if Ling Ran entered the entertainment industry, he would still thrive and succeed.

“Excuse me, Doctor Ling.” Ren Qi was slightly embarrassed when he raised his head. He smiled and said, “I watched a surgery just now, and I’m going to the operating theater for the preoperative preparation.”

Ling Ran nodded. When he was finally able to see the person clearly, he saw that he was the surgeon sent for in-service training, who was sent to him by Department Director Huo. He thought for a while and asked, “Have you decided on your training direction?”

Not every person in-charge of the treatment group would bear the responsibility of managing a doctor who came over for in-service training. Under most circumstances, doctors who came for in-service training were similar to housemen and even interns, as they were all in a constant state of being exploited.

It was especially so for departments that did not have sufficient resources.

However, the conditions in Ling Ran’s treatment group were obviously different.

His treatment group did not have many main surgical methods, but it involved a very wide coverage, and its depth was among the top in Yun Hua Hospital. In this situation, the doctors in the group would have a large number of patient resources and other resources no matter which direction they chose to develop, and Ling Ran was also willing to give the doctor who came for in-service training a chance to choose.

Ren Qi realized what was going on immediately, and he became tense instantly.

It was not easy to get a chance to pursue advanced studies, especially under Ling Ran’s supervision. At this time, his choice was probably the key that would decide his success.

Ren Qi’s brain worked swiftly, and he reluctantly gave up on learning any hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery methods.

If he could learn hepatectomy, he did not even need to consider whether Qiu County had the patients who needed hepatectomy. Ren Qi was sure that he could just work in any new hospital in Changxi Province.

However, two months of training would not allow him to master hepatectomy.

Ren Qi wisely gave up. He raised his head and said, “Doctor Ling, I’ve made up my mind. I want to learn single-site laparoscopy.”

Ling Ran frowned and said, “What about the surgical method?”

“Appendectomy,” Ren Qi immediately answered.

Appendectomy was the basic work in general surgery. From laparotomy, laparoscopy, to single-site laparoscopy, appendectomy always served as the surgery method that would start their path in learning their respective form of surgery.

And this was also the surgical method which was most often performed in the county hospital. If he could master it in two months, Ren Qi felt that he would not have wasted his trip.

Ling Ran did not understand Ren Qi’s situation, so he could not help but ask, “Why would you choose appendectomy? You know how to do it, right?”

“But I haven’t performed single-site laparoscopies before,” Ren Qi answered before he continued, “I want to master the use of single-site laparoscopy. ”

“The impact of single-site laparoscopy is still not as good as the traditional laparoscopy at the current stage.”

Ren Qi explained, “But the patients are willing to receive single site laparoscopies. There is no scar, since the incision is hidden in the belly button, and this is a strong attraction to the youngsters nowadays. I feel… I also have to advance with the times…”

Ren Qi sounded slightly diffident. He glanced at Ling Ran’s face, and he immediately added, “I don’t mean that I’m pursuing more advanced medical skills, but my training time is too short. I’m thinking that I should have enough time to learn single-site laparoscopy in two months… Doctor Ling?”

Ling Ran’s facial expression remained unchanged. After Ren Qi finished talking for a while, he nodded and answered, “Sure. Then, we will temporarily set your training as single-site laparoscopy.”

“Okay.”

“Go on with your work.” Ling Ran waved his hand and dismissed Ren Qi. Then, he started to think.

In general surgeries, it was easy to relate appendectomy with cholecystectomy. Ling Ran’s appendectomy was at Perfect Level, but his cholecystectomy was only at Specialist Level.

That was because Ling Ran trained up his cholecystectomy by himself, and he obtained two Intermediate Treasure Chests as a result.

However, ever since his cholecystectomy reached Specialist Level, Ling Ran never managed to reach Master Level for the surgery no matter how hard he tried.

Ling Ran read up a lot of information for a period of time and did not stop exploring cholecystectomy’s depth. Now, when he thought about it, there was a need for him to expand his coverage for him to reach Master Level.

It was just like when Ling Ran performed appendectomies. He could perform the surgery through laparotomy, single-site laparoscopy, and also multiple site laparoscopy. Ling Ran had performed cholecystectomy with laparotomy before, but he rarely performed single-site laparoscopy for cholecystectomy.

“Find patients with cholecystitis who want single-site laparoscopy.” Ling Ran took out his phone and made a call to Zuo Cidian.

He would always ask for patients with cholecystitis after some time, and Zuo Cidian was not surprised when he received the call. He agreed immediately and thought about how he should wait for emergency cases of cholecystitis cases in the Emergency Departments in the province while also making a few phone calls to a few hospitals he was familiar with in Yun Hua City. Then, he would grab some patients with chronic cholecystitis from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. It would then be very easy for him to gather the number of patients Ling Ran wanted.
