541 Faction (1/2)
It was not the first time Xiang Xueming was kicked out of the operating theater.
Interns were like gauzes in operating theaters. It was definitely impossible to not have them since their contributions were pretty huge. Therefore, if the chief surgeon was unhappy, the interns would be kicked out; when the assistants needed something, they would send interns to do it; when the nurses saw that there were a lot of people in the operating theater, they would send out the interns…
Being kicked out by the patients… was actually something that happened very often.
When they had ward rounds, there were always patients who did not like being surrounded. Most people did not say much, but some also had violent tempers and were proactive. With just a few words, they could chase away the interns.
Xiang Xueming met a middle-aged lady's gaze and was instantly able to judge her capabilities. He left the treatment room silently.
He was reluctant to leave, so he stood at the door. He listened to the sounds inside just like what he did when he was performing his internship.
”Now that we've arrived at this stage for the sutures, it's time to consider the anatomical aspects.” Ling Ran's voice was loud. ”The problems when it comes to scar tissue formation is very complex and can no longer be solved simply by considering the anatomical problems of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. We should also observe the sebaceous glands, sweat glands, erector hair muscles, and even skin sacs…”
”That's impossible.” Doctor Miao's tone was slightly skeptical. He had been doing cosmetic sutures since he left the hospital. If he did not know that Ling Ran would never speak carelessly, he would probably have laughed loudly by now.
Ling Ran spoke with a drawl, ”If you do, you will be at Perfect Level.”
”That'll definitely be perfect,” Doctor Miao laughed.
”Well, in general, if you can do some biochemical examinations, it will be helpful for suturing. At least, it can be a guideline for doctors' surgeries…”
”The patient will definitely not agree to it.”
”Yeah.”
”It is times like this that we envy foreigners' free medical care. They could let doctors do whatever check-ups they want without having to bargain about money.” Doctor Miao clicked his tongue a couple of times. Now, he only had one learning path. He had no way to go but to keep improving.
Xiang Xueming, who was listening outside the door, could not help but feel deeply affected by his words.
”Alright,” Ling Ran quickly completed the suture, cut the thread with scissors, and spoke to the patient who was across him.
Doctor Miao quickly followed up and said, ”Let me handle the bandaging.”
”Okay.” Ling Ran stood up and said to the patient, ”Don't expose the wound to water and don't use force. It will recover very soon.”
”Will it leave a scar?”
Doctor Miao said even faster, ”The possibility of leaving a scar is related to your physique, not the problem of a simple suture…”
He said a bunch of stuff, and since he said them every day, he was very familiar with them.
Ling Ran is already out when the patient was still a little dazed from Doctor Miao's words.
He looked at Xiang Xueming, who was at the door, again and asked, ”Did you just say that you are looking for help with surgeries?”
”This is what happened. I'm working at Cangping District Hospital now, and I'm posted to the Bazhaixiang hospital branch. There are only two doctors there…” Xiang Xueming gave a brief introduction and said, ”Doctor Ling, I wonder if you can send two people to the Bazhaixiang hospital branch for regular surgeries.”
”You are from Cangping District Hospital. Shouldn't Cangping District Hospital be sending people to perform surgeries?” Ling Ran asked in puzzlement.
”It is supposed to be like this, but the doctors who can perform surgeries in the district hospitals are few, and they are afraid of being asked to stay in the branch. So, they are not willing to go.” After he said this, Xiang Xueming continued to speak carefully. ”The other reason is that when doctors from the district hospital perform surgeries at the branch, they are considered to be doing their normal jobs, but if doctors from other hospitals come over, we count them as freelance surgeons.”
This was the first time Xiang Xueming tried to hire a freelance surgeon, and he was incredibly unused to doing this.
Ling Ran was used to it. For him, regardless of who it was who asked him, whether they were medical students, interns, or chief physicians of a county hospital, they were not very different.
Ling Ran thought a little and asked, ”You have the appropriate conditions for surgeries, right? How many beds and nurses are there? What about the equipment in the operating theater?”
”There are twenty beds and five nurses. All are certified and have worked in operating theaters before. Our devices allow us to perform laparotomy, laparoscopes, and X-rays. As for medical consumables… could the pharmaceutical sales representatives send them to us?” Xiang Xueming did not know much, but he could only force himself to pretend that he knew a lot.
The doctor-in-charge at Lower Groove Clinic, Doctor Xiong passed by the area seemingly on purpose, and he interjected, ”If you use only a few medical consumables, the pharmaceutical sales representatives will not them send to you.”
