425 ICU (1/2)

”You would need to look for Department Director Huo for things like organizing a team.” Ling Ran could not understand the thought process of this middle-aged man with puffy eyes and dark eyebags. He also did not have the energy to spare for him.

Why should he deal with strangers? Was CPR becoming less fun, or were surgeries getting more boring, so much so that he had to talk to strangers?

Ling Ran had met too many of this boring species called ”strangers”. It was only because this middle-aged man was ugly enough that Ling Ran guessed that he would not bend his head down and confess to him, and it made Ling Ran talk to him.

But that was all.

Ling Ran only nodded lightly and told the young nurse behind the patient assistance desk. ”I'm going to the reception area now...”

”Wait, wait.” Feng Yi laughed, stepped forward, and stopped Ling Ran. He whispered, ”Doctor Ling, this is a good opportunity.”

Ling Ran stared at Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was responsible for deceiving doctors all year round. So, he knew with just one look at Ling Ran's posture that he would be hard to convince.

After thinking about it, Feng Yi became more humble and laughed, ”Doctor Ling, let's not talk about organizing a team and whatnot. I'm just thinking that if you form a team that specifically only performs CPR, it would be better for the patient, and you can even save lives.”

Ling Ran furrowed his eyebrows. ”There are no patients needing CPR now.”

”Isn't CPR a race against time? Let's form a team. Whenever any problems arise in the hospital, you can perform the emergency operation at any moment, for however long you want, and use however much medicine you wish. We'll cover all your expenses. Even if the medicine is not in the medical insurance list, you can also register them later after using them...” Feng Yi patted his chest as he spoke.

Ling Ran hesitated after hearing what was spoken.

Concerning CPR alone, in some foreign hospitals, there would indeed be a small group especially dealing with CPR. If a problem arose, they will immediately step in to perform resuscitation. For patients with myocardial infarction, their survival rate would be greatly improved.

However, it would obviously be inappropriate for several surgeons to just idly wait to perform CPR, even if the surgeons in the country were already paid very poorly…

”I don't want to just do CPR, you can set up another team. I can provide some training.” Ling Ran still relented a little.

Lu Wenbin and the others were also trained by him for a long time, and the results were quite remarkable.

However, he did not train Lu Wenbin and the others in performing group CPR just so that they could wait around twenty-four hours to perform CPR.

Ling Ran examined himself. He also did not want to be on standby for twenty-four hours just to perform CPR.

CPR was indeed interesting, but other operations could also be very interesting.

It was very important to save people, but if one disliked his job, it would be very difficult to persist in it.

This was especially the case for CPR. If the medical staff involved worked just like the mechanics in a 4S shop and just aimed to earn their hourly wages, there would be very few medical staff who can persist. A doctor would need economic support to persist in this profession, but there was no need for economic support to be their driving force in the process of saving people.

Feng Yi narrowed his puffy eyes. His eyes seemed to be bulging out, and he said in a troubled manner, ”Doctor Ling, we still think you're the best when it comes to performing CPR. Wasn't the patient that was rescued by you recovering well? Saving one life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda. Instead of performing surgeries...”

”If Ling Ran meets a patient who needs CPR, he will definitely be duty-bound not to refuse, but making him wait by the side would not necessarily be a good thing.” Doctor Zhou came over all of a sudden and stopped in between Ling Ran and Feng Yi.

”Doctor Zhou, you're here.” Feng Yi recognized him. He chuckled and said hello. He seemed not to be affected by Doctor Zhou's displeased tone and did not hold him to account for speaking to him in such a manner. He said, ”Today's situation was very special. The in-coming patients who will be sent over would not be in good condition. They definitely would need Doctor Ling's help.”

The words he said were indeed reasonable and just.

In fact, if there was no real need for this, Feng Yi will not come over to look for Ling Ran to do this.

Therefore, although he had some ulterior motive for making this request, the direction of Feng Yi's request was not completely wrong.

Doctor Zhou thought carefully, but he still pulled Ling Ran over. He then said, ”If you have an idea, Department Chief Feng, you still have to go to our department director and propose the idea to him. If you make Ling Ran bear such a big responsibility, what if it becomes too much for him to bear, and the pressure crushes him?”

Feng Yi originally wanted to take a shortcut, but he was not angry that he did not succeed. He only nodded calmly and said, ”Alright then, I understand. I will find Department Director Huo.”

Doctor Zhou watched Feng Yi leave and smiled at Ling Ran. He said, ”You'll need to let Department Director Huo deal with these people. Otherwise, he may have promised you that you can casually use any medicine right now, but he will turn his back on his words and start complaining after this. He will set you up at any moment he wants.”

Ling Ran nodded as if he had understood what Doctor Zhou meant.

Doctor Zhou coughed and said, ”Medical expenses are a huge sum of money, especially for patients who have undergone CPR. One person would need hundreds of thousands of RMB, and once that number accumulates, how much do you think it will cost? If that guy just now is not around, at that time, there will be a dispute between the hospital and the Health Department. If he brought you into this, nothing good will happen.”

When he saw Ling Ran's expression, Doctor Zhou waved his hand and said, ”You don't have to worry about this now. If anything happens, just push it to me or Department Director Huo. Hmm… it'll be best if you just let Department Director Huo handle the matter.”

”Okay.” Ling Ran accepted the advice.

”You are really tactless. Well, but there's no reason to try and be polite in such cases anyway,” Doctor Zhou said to himself before he asked, ”Would you like to wait for the next ambulance here? It may take a while.”
