266 Take the Spotligh (1/2)

For two consecutive weeks, Ling Ran made sure that he only performed an average of two surgery cases daily. For the rest of the time, he would either follow Huo Congjun around to understand the meticulous business in the Emergency Department, or he would hide and study in the office.

To be a doctor was to study for a lifetime. If one only spent an average of two hours a day on self-learning, one would not be able to finish the latest textbooks, let alone the latest literature.

Compared to ordinary people, Ling Ran caught up quick in academics. When he was a sophomore, he accompanied the cadavers and finished reading the basic texts. However, in the next three years, Ling Ran still struggled, much to his shame, to be within the top three, and he would only occasionally become first in the year.

Ling Ran was not satisfied with such achievements and understood that he was not a genius in learning. After all, genii would not participate in competing with others in terms of academic results in university. For example, when he was a child, he participated in the Child Star Contest, and he went straight to be on China Central Television, he did not compete against someone else in the elementary school level.

Although the Ling family did not lack money, and Ling Ran did not follow the path of a child star, the experience of his days in elementary school gave him sufficient standards as his reference.

When he took his freshman final exam, he was only first in three modules, and there was a module which he was in eighth place. Ling Ran knew then that he was not cut out for studying.

In the days that followed, Ling Ran could only study with a humble attitude.

If he did not get the system, Ling Ran may choose to take the doctoral or PhD exams and spend more time than others to learn.

However, the system itself did not give him a more excellent studying ability.

Ling Ran could only spend time to digest as much as he could.

Pure reading was much more boring than performing surgeries.

If Chief Wang Haiyang of the Hand Surgery Department had not brought Ling Ran along for a freelance surgery, Ling Ran believed he would not have been able to control himself but to use up the remaining beds.

However, the number of remaining beds had still reduced, and soon, the beds reduced to only single digits no matter how ”frugal” Ling Ran was.

”Doctor Ling, we have maxed out on the extra beds. We can't add more.” The head nurse came to the office deliberately and informed Ling Ran.

Behind her was Lu Wenbin, Ma Yanlin, and Yu Yuan, who walked in gingerly.

The doctors in the office also widened their eyes and waited to see Ling Ran's expression of anger.

There was always a moment whereby a doctor in the hospital would nearly suffer a stroke because of his anger, and they had to save him through emergency treatment. Everyone had never seen Ling Ran angry, and they always felt that things were not that perfect yet because of it.

Ling Ran had been reading the medical records when he turned around. He answered with a slow voice, ”We reached max capacity already?”

”There are one hundred and one beds now. We can't add any more,” the head nurse said, ”Not only do we not have enough space, but the nurses also can't take care of so many patients, and the doctor's ward rounds are too long. In addition, the Emergency Department needs to have a few ward beds to be kept in reserve...”

”I know. Having one hundred and one beds is already very good.” Ling Ran now missed the one hundred and eighty ward bed at the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, as well as the extra beds he could still get. In his memory, half of the ward area of ​​the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center was controlled to be used for something else. If it were all opened up, it would be possible to put another hundred and eight ward beds in there.

However, although the Yun Hua Hospital's Emergency Department was large, there was no such space for them. Ling Ran was also well aware of that.

Lu Wenbin looked at Ling Ran again and said, ”Doctor Ling, if this is the case, do we have to suspend surgeries for the time being?”

”Are there no patients who are going to be discharged?”

”The average hospital admission rate for patients has dropped a lot, and we can't find any patients that are going to be discharged over the past few days.”

”Okay.” Ling Ran sighed again and said, ”Then let's call it a day, I will also be going home.”

He made his way to leave right after he said that. He turned off the computer and went straight out.

The other doctors in the Emergency Department still had to undertake the errands in the Emergency Department. However, Ling Ran would only go to the Debridement Room when he wanted to play. If there were no more ward beds, he naturally could only go home.

When he appeared outside the Emergency Medicine building, Huo Congjun slowly returned to the office.

”Has Ling Ran gone back?” Huo Congjun asked, even though he knew the answer.

Ma Yanlin was the first to answer, ”Doctor Ling already went back.”

”Ah... it's really impossible for us to get another bed.” Huo Congjun acted like he was a hero wiping away his tears. He grabbed the handrail in front of the office window and looked at Ling Ran's back. Then, he said, ”If the basic infrastructure of our department cannot meet the needs of the doctors, then it shows my failure as a director. At the next hospital administration meeting, I will definitely fight for it.”

”Department Director Huo!”

”Department director!”

”This is so moving!”
