165 Yun Hua Daily (1/2)

Lu Wenbin applied for leave for the upcoming weekend, and he got a rare two days off.

To a resident doctor, a two-day holiday was considered a big holiday. Naturally, non-tertiary grade A hospitals were not as strict when it came to leave applications. After all, they may not receive any patients even during their normal working days.

Nonetheless, Huo Congjun found it difficult to reject Lu Wenbin's leave application.

Everyone knew about Ling Ran's daily routine, and a normal person would not be able to keep up with him. Huo Congjun actually felt pleased to see Lu Wenbin last so long.

As a result, Lu Wenbin was now worth a little more in Huo Congjun's heart.

No matter what, Lu Wenbin was the resident doctor who had performed one hundred to two hundred cases of M-Tang technique surgeries and nearly ten cases of amputated finger replantation surgeries. Even if he just worked as the first assistant, still… He had performed that number of surgeries. In Yun Hua Hospital, there were no more than four doctors who had Lu Wenbin's experience. Within Changxi province, there were less than ten doctors who had the same experience. A resident doctor like Lu Wenbin may have still been a sheep, but he was considered the leader among all sheep.

Huo Congjun hoped to keep the skilled resident doctors in the hospital, unlike the ordinary resident doctors who did not use any of the hospital's resources. He would just leave those resident doctors to do whatever they wanted.

During Lu Wenbin's holiday, Ling Ran reduced his finger replantation surgeries as well. He only performed a few M-Tang technique surgeries each day just to keep himself familiar with the technique.

Ma Yanlin was his sole assistant. He came at three in the morning, and he performed two surgeries simultaneously. After resting for half an hour, he would continue to perform another two surgeries before he went back to the office to write medical records, which was considered quite relaxing.

Meanwhile, Ling Ran stayed in his office and constantly amended his research paper.

His progress in writing his research paper was very fast. The framework of the research paper was basically done. So, he only needed to fill in some basic content and information, particularly his references.

The research papers belonging to department directors like Huo Congjun or ”masters” of research papers like Department Associate Director Du would have the help of some young doctors in drafting and adding extra information into the articles. All the chief physicians needed to do were just amend the charts and data, as well as check through the details like the direction of the research paper.

Ling Ran had not obtained the qualification to let others write his research paper for him, but he was not slow in his speed of writing.

Compared to traditional academic institutions, it was not easy for doctors to write their research papers, but it was not necessarily hard either. Their papers needed to have the general format of academic research papers but also have their own characteristics. The main focus of their research papers lay in the gathering of medical cases and the conclusion of their findings.

The formation of the conclusion for these research papers was uniform. You had to form a conclusion for your own article and provide an upgrade in the medical world. It could not just be a simple compilation of different cases.

However, in terms of cases, a research paper written by doctors was more special.

Since the majority of the doctors' cases treated people as fundamental units, they had to gather together a sufficient number of patients with unique illnesses or normal illnesses. They could only draw a conclusion from their records after that.

Ling Ran was only able to accumulate a sufficient number of suitable medical cases because he had performed a large number of surgeries recently. For all hospitals, the ability to perform one hundred cases of surgeries showed their status. But it was rare for them to be able to perform more than three hundred similar high-ranking surgeries. It was also rare for attending physicians to be able to perform the same number of surgeries.

Some of the attending physicians who worked in Yun Hua Hospital had worked for three to four years in the hospital, but even they did not have that number of surgeries under their belt; one of them was Doctor Zhou.

”Ling Ran, you're on the paper.” Doctor Zhou was always the first to bring different kinds of good news to Ling Ran. He was still an expert in this aspect.

Ling Ran looked away from the computer and asked, ”Is it Yun Hua Daily?”

”Yes. Can't you just pretend like you didn't know and ask me the name of the newspaper?” Doctor Zhou pursed his lips and said, ”Let me show you. Your picture took up a wide margin of the paper, but our photo's only in a tiny corner of the news.”

Ling Ran took the newspaper from Doctor Zhou and saw that there was a huge photo of him standing in front of the hospital at the top right corner of the page. Although the other doctors were also visible in the picture, the area that showed their faces was too small.

Ling Ran was quite familiar with such photos. He scanned through the page indifferently before he read the content: [War to Preserve Eight Fingers for a Five-Year-Old Girl]

Ling Ran smiled and said, ”So, she really wrote it as a big news report.”

”The Hand Surgery Department isn't the only one who paid for this, the Emergency Department paid too.” Doctor Zhou pointed at the bottom right of the newspaper and at a sentence using his fingernails. [Ling Ran from the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital…]

”Just a few words, but our Department Director Huo spent a lot of money for it,” Doctor Zhou said in a gossiping manner.

Ling Ran lifted his eyebrows. ”They paid for it?”

”Exactly. Look at the content. They even mentioned the banner and crayfish!” Doctor Zhou continued, ”When it comes to news reporting, a hospital is considered a unit, so we can't just let the Hand Surgery Department take all the credit!”

”You sound like Department Director Huo.”

”It's exactly what Department Director Huo said. You think that I did a great impression of him as well, right?”
