266 Take the Spotligh (2/2)

A group of attending physicians rushed to take the spotlight. The resident doctors were still puzzled and dumbfounded, and the associate chief physician did not need to resort to such methods to survive anymore.

Fortunately, the number of attending physicians in the Emergency Department was sufficient, and they could help Department Director Huo act as his supporting characters for this TVB-level drama.

Huo Congjun sighed deeply. ”If there is a possibility, no matter how small it is, I have to give our departments more beds. If we want to make a huge Emergency Department, not having beds is unacceptable. Now, our number of hospital beds is our shortcoming. But everyone, do not worry. During the year when our Emergency Medicine building was built, we left room for improvement. If it is really impossible, I will get some space from the ward building.”

”Department Director Huo, you're so thoughtful.”

”Department director, you act exactly like how a department director should be.”

”Department director, don't worry too much. Young people are rash. It's all right to wait for a few days.”

The attending physicians opened their mouths and recited all the lines. The past few years they spent in the hospital had not been a waste after all.

Huo Congjun struck a pose for a while, and when he could not see Ling Ran, he sat down with a sigh of relief. He said to Lu Wenbin and the others, ”You are Ling Ran's assistants in surgery, but you can't just provide assistance to him in surgeries. You would have to give him a helping hand in the other aspects of his life as well, like his mental state or whether his lifestyle is healthy. You have to find a way to help him in any way possible, understand? Ling Ran wholeheartedly performs surgery. He may neglect some other life aspects. You assistants should help him cover up those neglected areas in his life.”

”Yes...” Lu Wenbin answered on behalf of the team. In his heart, he repeatedly criticized, 'Doctor Ling doesn't need our help in his life. There are already some girls who would go up to help.'

After Huo Congjun finished nagging them, his guilt was greatly reduced, and a smile bloomed on his face as well.

Since Ling Ran came to the Emergency Department, the income of the Emergency Department had risen steadily and had now climbed out of the edge of suffering from losses.

For any hospital's Emergency Department, as long as they did not fall into the swamp of monetary loss, there were then many ways for them to make a profit.

Huo Congjun had begun to consider whether he wanted to make another important asset for the Emergency Department.

The Emergency Department cannot just take advantage of the Orthopedics Department. It would need to take advantage of other departments as well.

If it really could not be done, Huo Congjun would have to hire some people from other hospitals.

By doing that, however, the expenses of the Emergency Department would increase as well. He may even need to prepare some new surgical instruments and tools. But Huo Congjun was always prepared to go toward this direction.

Even if the attending physicians did not object to it, the other associate chief physicians and chief physicians would have their opinions.

Huo Congjun was quite satisfied with his acting skills. He had been a director of the Emergency Department for many years. He would still balance things in the department if it were necessary. Besides, he could not allow the dozens of doctors in the Emergency Department to leech off Ling Ran's work.

”Department director, there's a call for you.” The doctor in the office took up the fixed phone line and hesitated to call for Huo Congjun.

Huo Congjun subconsciously took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. He was suspicious of picking up the fixed phone line, ”Hello?”

”Department Director Huo, Zhu Tongyi here.” Academician Zhu Tongyi's voice rang from the other end. He chuckled and said, ”I am here to send an invitation.”

”What invitation?”

”Well, we, the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, are very grateful to Doctor Ling for his help even with his busy schedule. This time, our center has organized an international exchange conference. We would like to invite Doctor Ling as a guest speaker and come back to our center for a return visit. I specially called you, and I hope that you will allow him to come.” Zhu Tongyi's voice was full of enthusiasm, and he sounded very passionate.

Huo Congjun was happy when he heard it. Doctors still loved things like international exchanges very much. He had to make things balanced in his department every year for this. Now that he just received another spot for a conference, things were quite good.

When Huo Congjun was about to agree with it, he was puzzled for a moment and asked, ”What do you want him to talk about if he were the guest speaker?”

”Just about orthopedics.”

”Is Ling Ran eligible to talk about orthopedics in your conference?”

”Why wouldn't it be enough? It's more than enough. We won't even have a problem to let foreigners give talks.” Zhu Tongyi laughed.

Huo Congjun could not find any flaws in his words and had to agree to this matter. He even let Zhu Tongyi contact Ling Ran personally.

After hanging up, Huo Congjun carefully thought for a long time before he said, ”We still need to add the number of beds. I will request from the hospital director first.”

”Huh?”

”We need to add more hospital beds?”

”What do you mean...”
