510 Getting it Resected (1/2)

Ling Ran spent his time at home guiding Doctor Miao as well as suturing a few patients himself, and the days passed by just like that.

Lower Groove Clinic had quite a good supply of patients. Nowadays, there would be a few patients looking to receive cosmetic suture and a couple dozens of patients looking to receive fluid transfusion every day.

If a clinic had more than a hundred patients who were there to receive fluid transfusion or buy medication within a day, it would pretty much make quite a sizable revenue. With the addition of cosmetic suturing, they were making a lot of profit each day.

Hence, the Ling family had the urge to renovate the clinic.

Ling Ran had passed those few days at home guiding Doctor Miao, but there was only a limited number of patients looking to receive cosmetic sutures each day. So, Ling Ran once again put out a sign to seek for clients who wanted a massage. Even though the sign read [35 RMB for two minutes of massage] instead of [25 RMB for two minutes of massage] this time, very few of the neighbors complained about it.

By then, everyone in the neighborhood already knew how skilled Ling Ran was when it came to massage manipulation. The ones who were willing to pay were scrambling for a slot, but those who were not willing to pay were jealous of how much money the Ling family was making.

For the next few days, Ling Ran did not use an alarm clock to wake up, and he would even go back to sleep after he rose in the morning. After that, he would dawdle to the hospital. And most of the time, he would return home once he was done making ward rounds.

Hepatectomy was major surgery, and patients would need to stay in the ICU for several days. Those whose conditions were serious would need to stay there for a week or two. There were even cases where patients who received hepatectomies had to stay in the ICU for around twenty days.

The hospital's ICU had a limited number of hospital beds, and once they were all filled up, it took a long time for the space to be freed up again.

Besides, surgeries were also being carried out in other departments, and some of their patients would need to be sent to the ICU too. Those departments sent patients to the ICU regularly, hence the ICU did not dare allow Ling Ran to use up all the hospital beds.

No matter how handsome he was, he was still required to obey the basic rules of the hospital.

Most importantly, Ling Ran's assistants were also feeling drained.

They had to assist in surgeries and read up on hepatectomy as well as perform routine tasks such as making ward rounds. They were also forced to write a lot of medical records because the number of patients Ling Ran was able to operate on within a day way surpassed that of other doctors. The doctors in the Ling Treatment Group even had to carry out freelance surgeries along with Ling Ran during the weekends. They had totally reached their limits.

”We're not performing any hepatectomies this week.” Ling Ran decided to slow down when he saw all the unfinished work on the task board.

He just received a new skill, Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Cruciate Ligament. In addition, he had yet to complete the self-improvement mission for Cholecystectomy. Hence, he planned to adjust his schedule a little.

He wanted to read a few books on the field of orthopedics at least.

When Zuo Cidian who was sitting in front of his desk and writing medical records heard that, his voice trembled as he asked, ”Doctor Ling, if we're not going to perform hepatectomies, what do you plan on doing?”

”You guys can voice out if there's any patient whom you want to treat, or else, we can just let the hospital beds stay empty for a few days.” Truth be told, there were not many empty hospital beds anyway. Ling Treatment Group had always believed in letting patients stay in the hospital for a longer time after their surgeries. Hence, they were always running out of hospital beds. They only had a few empty hospital beds right now because a few patients had been discharged during the past two or three days.

”Are we… taking a break?” Zuo Cidian was so happy that he almost screamed in excitement.

Lu Wenbin and Yu Yuan, who had just processed what was happening, widened their eyes. They found it a little unbelievable.

”Are we really going to stop taking in patients?” Lu Wenbin asked in astonishment.

”Yeah, we're not taking in any patients for now. Let's rest for a few days.”

”I'll give Department Director Huo a call.” After Zuo Cidian came back to his senses, he immediately called Huo Congjun to halt the patient supply.

Ling Treatment Group operated in a relatively special manner. Since they were part of the Emergency Department, they did not offer consultations. Therefore, if they did not take the initiative to look for patients, not many patients would seek them out.

Even if there were any, they could just transfer the patients who required emergency treatment to other departments and schedule to see the rest of them at a later date. That was normal practice.

”Guys, take these few days to complete the backlog of medical records.” Zuo Cidian did not dare to let the members of the treatment group rest completely. In fact, it did not even cross his mind.

They had to finish all the medical records, as they would get into a lot of trouble if they failed to do so.

Ling Ran was not interested in writing medical records. A medical record consisted of almost ten thousand words, and the person writing it just needed to copy and paste information from previous medical records, then change the figures. It did not fit Ling Ran's aesthetics at all.

”I'll go make my ward rounds. Yu Yuan, come with me. We could stand to make some improvements when it comes to infection control.” Ling Ran rose and left without giving the other doctors any chance to speak.

If doctors had a choice, none of them would want to care about infection control at all.

All doctors found themselves very clean. Even if a doctor did not shower for three days, he would still believe that he had no body odor whatsoever.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Very few doctors were willing to wash their hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer before examining every single patient.

While all doctors did not mind washing their hands before operating on patients, they did not care much about their hygiene when they were in the wards.

Above all, it was very troublesome to carry out infection control because the ones doing it would get into conflict with other doctors. Besides, the nurses and the head nurse often refused to cooperate.

In short, it took a lot of effort to execute infection control policies, and the results were often invisible.

However, Ling Ran never cared about being insulted or offending those around him.

If Ling Ran were to get affected every time someone was dissatisfied with him, he would have panicked the moment he received the hundredth love letter in his life.

Hence, even though Yu Yuan and the other doctors in his treatment group were not willing to put in effort when it came to infection control, Ling Ran still insisted on it.

Infection control was the right thing to do, and it was also necessary.

Besides, it did not take a person much effort to carry a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer around.

”We need to get the water drainage pipes cleaned too. Other than that, we need to increase the frequency at which the bathrooms of all the wards are cleaned. This is because the frequency at which they clean the bathrooms depends on the number of hospital beds. So, now that we always have additional hospital beds, the bathrooms need to be cleaned more often,” Ling Ran ordered as he sauntered around the ward, and Yu Yuan took notes.

”Are we going to hire extra manpower to do that? The nurses wouldn't be willing to clean the bathrooms so often,” Yu Yuan said in the hushed tone.
