Chapter 841: Gradually Becoming Dumbfounded

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Early in the morning, Dan Quan hummed a small tune as he put his hands behind his back and came to the surgical floor.

The General Surgery Department and other specialist departments all performed their operations on the surgical floor. There were more than thirty operating theaters, seven warerooms, and more than ten storage rooms on the entire floor to hundreds of operations every day.

Dan Quan walked leisurely to the washroom. As soon as he got to the place, he heard a voice from the dark room that said, “You’re late.”

Dan Quan almost jumped and hit whoever spoke to him!

Those who dared to say he, who was a dignified chief physician of the General Surgery Department, was late would not even come to the operating theater.

At this time, he saw Ling Ran in his white coat coming out of the washroom. He looked so handsome he looked as if he was walking on a runway.

Dan Quan’s anger was instantly extinguished.

He could not yell at this person. If he were to yell now, the news would spread to the whole Surgery Department in minutes. After an hour, his world would change, and even without Huo Congjun or Associate Department Director Zhou speaking to him, the young nurses in the Surgery department would never let the doctor who yelled at Ling Ran have a good life in the future.

It was dangerous to incur public wrath. If a surgeon scolded some young nurse, it was a daily routine in the hospital, and the head nurse would only advise and persuade the doctor to not take it to heart, and she would not arrange for them to work together next time.

However, if all the nurses were not in good terms with a certain surgeon, the hospital leaders would only look at such doctors differently as well. It would be possible for the doctor to not be able to smoothly perform everything during his hospital life.

Moreover, Dan Quan’s impression of Ling Ran was actually quite good.

After all, Ling Ran was an honest and frank person, and he said that his single-site laparoscopy was the best in Yun Hua Hospital…

There were a lot of determiners he used, but the strongest was still the strongest. Dan Quan had hummed so many small tunes that day because of Ling Ran’s words.

“Doctor Ling, why did you come to the General Department Surgery’s operating theater again? Are you here to watch my surgery once more?” Dan Quan said the last sentence in a joking tone. Why would there be someone who would watch someone else’s surgery all day long, especially a great doctor like Ling Ran? He could not possibly leave his treatment group and just walk into other people’s operating theater every day.

“Yes,” Ling Ran answered concisely and firmly.

“What…? Are you really here to watch my surgery again?” Dan Quan was surprised.

Ling Ran nodded. “Yes.”

Dan Quan stared at Ling Ran for a long time. He felt a little strange, a little flattered, and a little confused. “Why?”

“Because I want to learn single-site laparoscopy.” Ling Ran looked at Dan Quan and felt a little annoyed. He had said those words before, but Dan Quan still needed to ask again.

Fortunately, Ling Ran often came across this kind of person who always did not listen carefully to other people’s speech. They had to always ask again and again as if they wanted some kind of confirmation, yet after confirming what they heard, they did not believe it.

Ling Ran was not prepared to give Dan Quan the opportunity to repeatedly ask for confirmation and repeatedly be in disbelief. He then said, “The scheduled operation time today is nine o’clock, and it is five minutes to nine now. Will the operation be postponed?”

A surgeon needed ten minutes to wash his hands alone, so Dan Quan was surely going to be late.

Dan Quan shook his body unnaturally. Since he became the associate chief physician, he was rarely nagged by others on the issue of punctuality. It became even more so after he became a chief physician.

A chief physician’s desire for power was not easy to satisfy, and they were unlike department directors, who already had their desire satisfied because their words alone were already worth gold. However, they enjoyed true freedom.

Even the department director would not check on a chief physician’s attendance. Forget about checking attendance, they would even give away the fees they earned from medical consumables and hospital bills to the chief physicians at appropriate moments.

Dan Quan looked up at Ling Ran with a smile.

Ling Ran looked down at Dan Quan with a serious look.

Dan Quan’s smile slowly disappeared. ‘Sigh, it’s no use, what should I tell someone like Ling Ran who’s so straightforward?’

At this time, Zuo Cidian appeared behind Ling Ran and smiled with a face full of wrinkles. “Chief Physician Dan, if the operation needs to be postponed, I will help you inform the staff.”

Dan Quan furrowed his eyebrows. “No, we just need to perform this surgery faster.”

“Alright, you and Doctor Ling actually have the same style.” Zuo Cidian smiled and said, “Then, I will talk to the Department of Anesthesiology and tell them that the operation time may change?”

Establishing clear communication with the Department of Anesthesiology was the most comfortable thing for a surgeon. Dan Quan had no reason to refuse this. He hummed softly in agreement but still frowned. “Why are you here, Zuo Cidian?”

Zuo Cidian was unhappy to have his name called directly, but he still had a smile on his face. It was just that his face became even more wrinkled. “I mainly serve Doctor Ling. Doctor Ling wants to watch your surgery, and I am here to perform the logistics.”

“Why would logistics be needed for just watching a surgery…?” Dan Quan shook his head and said nothing more.

Watching surgeries was the most common behavior in hospitals. It was like students watching how other people answered questions and chefs watching other people cooking. It was one of the cheapest ways to learn something.

Dan Quan was still very proud that Ling Ran came to see his operation, but he was a little unaccustomed to Ling Ran’s punctuality.

He did not say much. He went to wash his hands for ten minutes and went to the operating theater.

The time needed for this step could not be reduced. Surgeons were a profession that was accustomed to acting cool but also not accustomed to acting cool, especially in the work of anti-infection. If one did not do it well, it would only make people laugh.

The more Ling Ran watched, the more Dan Quan followed the procedures.

After washing his hands by the book, he raised his arms vertically over his chest and walked into the operating theater; the patient was already on the operating table.

“Doctor Ling from the Emergency Medical Center still wants to observe today’s operation.” Dan Quan entered the operating theater, and he used Ling Ran’s name in passing to make himself look good.

Since he was there, he had to show off.

Ling Ran let out a smile without a complaint.

Zuo Cidian was not named, but his face was full of smiles while he stood humbly behind Ling Ran like an old butler.

Dan Quan saw this, and he was inexplicably envious. When he arrived in his department now, although there were a large number of attending physicians and resident doctors available for his use, and he could even easily get an unskilled doctor to work for him when he raised his arms and called out for someone, when he walked out of the department, there may not be a henchman following him.

Moreover, the old henchman actually looked like he had the air of a senior doctor…

While he thought about all this, Dan Quan put on surgical scrubs, rubber gloves, and then stretched out his hand to reach the scalpel.

During the whole process, Dan Quan did not need to talk, and the surgery was completed naturally. For doctors and nurses in the operating theater, that was a basic procedure, and it had been carried out for the past five, ten, twenty, and thirty years. There were some changes, but the process was still the same old process.

Dan Quan pushed the patient’s abdomen with one hand and made an incision above the patient’s navel with the pencil grip hold with the other hand. He then looked up at Ling Ran, laughing. “Performing a single-site laparoscopy is actually boring. Well, there’s only one incision, there are few changes to it, and it’s not easy to position the three ports when you push them all inside.”

Ling Ran nodded calmly. He also knew the advantages and disadvantages of single-site laparoscopy.

“Doctor Ling, you don’t like chatting?” When Dan Quan saw that Ling Ran was not continuing the conversation, he was a little disappointed. “Isn’t it too boring not to chat in the operating theater?”

“No,” Ling Ran watched Dan Quan’s operation and answered.

“You really don’t feel so?” Dan Quan smiled and looked at the young nurse on the other side. He then joked in passing, “There are so many beautiful young girls, and you don’t even talk to them, wouldn’t they be bored till death?”

Ling Ran gave Dan Quan a strange look but still shook his head.

However, the young nurse anxiously said, “Just watching Doctor Ling would make us happy, how can it be boring?”

Chief Physician Dan my-middle-name-is-I-Want-To-Hit-Someone-and-I-Am-Also-the-Best-in-Single-Site-Laparoscopy-in-Yun-Hua-Hospital Quan’s expression gradually became dumbfounded.
