280 Expectation (1/2)

”I am going to go for my shift. See you later, Doctor Ling.” Qin Min was a very decisive person. When she failed to attract Ling Ran's attention even with her uniform and cute dog, she did not take her losses and gains to heart. She did not even leave behind her WeChat ID. She just waved and left.

The Labrador reluctantly rubbed against Ling Ran's trousers, whimpered, followed Qin Min, looked back at Ling Ran, and pouted.

Dogs had their own spotlights shining on them the moment they started acting cute. Ling Ran could not help but wave goodbye at the dog.

The Labrador let its tongue roll out its mouth and ran a little faster.

”Having a dog can be quite fun.” Ling Ran smiled at Yu Yuan and took out his phone.

”Wait until you have a dog that has coprophagy. That'll be interesting.” Yu Yuan wrinkled her nose in disgust, expressing indignation toward this behavior.

Once Ling Ran thought about it, he found that he could not quite accept the idea, so he sighed, ”Indeed, other people's dogs are the most fun to play with.”

Yu Yuan nodded. ”It's still alright if the dog eats its own poop… It'll be troublesome if it eats another dog's poop. Some dogs would even go and lick other dogs' butts. The most terrible thing is eating another species' poop...”

When Yu Yuan thought of this, she furrowed her eyebrows, ”I have seen dogs who like eat elephant poop. You know that elephant's poop is rich in cellulose, right? If dogs like to eat cellulose, why not eat grass instead? Why must they waste elephant poop? Stupid animals.”

Ling Ran chuckled, ”You saw it at the zoo? There are strange animals in the zoo.”

Yu Yuan was silent for a few seconds before she summarized solemnly. ”In short, dogs are very dangerous.”

Ling Ran smiled and did not take it to heart. He just continued to play his mobile game.

After all, there were no surgeries to be performed today. The ward area was in chaos. Even doctors have begun to provide the patients with information regarding the conference. They started doing short-term lessons so that they could make the knowledge available to the general public.

Ling Ran always avoided troubling matters like these. What he liked was orderly, organized medicine, not a chaotic conference. He even regretted coming because of the invitation. It was a waste of time.

Although it was said that surgeons had to participate in various conferences in the path of becoming a surgeon, the conferences themselves barely added much to their skill. Surgeons would still need to depend on their foundation.

If Ling Ran needed to waste a week or more to attend the conference, he would rather go back to Yun Hua Hospital. He chose to leave for a week because another batch of beds in Yun Hua Hospital would be vacated in a week's time.

Meanwhile, the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center had indeed vacated more beds.

They had fewer than fifty patients in their center, which meant that there were one hundred and thirty ward beds remaining. Of course, they would not have so many patients during the conference, but if he could last until the conference was completed, the current single-person rooms would be transformed into double, triple or even quad rooms. It was like a car transforming into a Transformer. Those rooms will become really great.

The last time Ling Ran was in the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, an extra one hundred beds were added. If the number of extra beds were taken into consideration, the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center still seemed very promising...

The next day.

With the surgery table as his guide, Ling Ran came to the operating theater.

It was clear on the printing paper hung outside the Operating Area that the only surgery scheduled today was Ji Tianlu's hip replacement surgery.

Ji Tianlu followed the model of having three surgery days in a week. For the remaining four days, he would be in the clinic for a day, and use the other two for meetings. He would then use the last remaining day as a freelance surgeon or perform some surgery that cannot be postponed any further, or continue to perform freelance surgeries. If there was really nothing to do, he would lead a bunch of juniors and teach them ward rounds, and he would do a good job at it. He could go home and sleep for four or five days a week. He was a young, capable, and a middle-aged model doctor who could take care of his family and career.

However, since the conference was going to be held at the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center soon, Ji Tianlu also only operated on every other day to ease the itch to perform surgery.

Therefore, a doctor like himself would be one who understood Ling Ran the most. He looked at how Ling Ran wore a scrub and came to the operating theater, pretending that he wanted to learn. He asked directly, ”Do you want to be involved?”

”Yes!” Ling Ran had no talent in acting at all. He turned around and said, ”Wait for me while I wash my hands.”

After Ling Ran came back once he washed his hands thoroughly, he put on the surgical gown with the help of the nurse.

The surgical gown was fully sterilized. Although the scrubs were sterilized when it was worn, the sterilization requirements on it were not strict. As he donned the scrubs and washed his hands, it had definitely been contaminated with bacteria.
