688 Fake (1/2)

The thirty-five-year-old Lin Honghou was a doctor permanently stationed in Yun Hua 893. At the same time, he was also a senior attending physician at the hospital base.

In fair terms, regardless of his capabilities or experience, Lin Honghou was considered above average and not weak. He was about the same level as a normal senior attending physician like Zhao Leyi. After all, Yun Hua was already a top regional hospital, and it was outstanding among all hospitals in Changxi Province. If Lin Honghou had not become someone outstanding among his peers, it would have been impossible for him to have the chance of being chosen to join the hospital ship and carry out various important missions.

However, the occupation of a doctor was not a very friendly existence for young people, or rather, they were not friendly existences to young laymen.

In other industries, when a person worked until the age of thirty-five, while they might not be able to stand at the top, they would still be outstanding, and they could even be considered as support pillars for the mid-level management of their company. If the best were to be chosen among the most outstanding peers in the same province, that thirty-five-year-old best professional in the province would definitely have better skills than the rest. That was if they did not include things like their relationship with others and societal factors.

If the person were a blue-collar worker who focused on various operational work, that person would be at the peak of his career at thirty-five years old.

However, for a doctor, being thirty-five years old could only be considered the beginning of one's career.

Even if Lin Honghou had talent, was very knowledgeable, very hardworking throughout his studies, obtained a lot of chances, and accumulated a lot of experiences, when he was placed in the medical system, he became similar to others.

That was because he did not need to compare himself against peers who were also thirty-five years old, but the forty-five-year-old doctors or even fifty-five-year-old doctors who had worked just as hard and accumulated more experience.

In other industries, during the period of time professionals aged from thirty-five years old to forty-five years old or even fifty-five years old, they might learn other skills and accumulate experience, and the possibility of them having their skills decline was much higher than if they improved.

On the other hand, in the medical industry, before they achieved the position of a chief physician, they needed to take the initiative to learn, otherwise, they would lose out.

Under this circumstance, there was just no way Lin Honghou's skills would be outstanding.

The hospital ship chose Lin Honghou because they wanted a younger doctor to be permanently stationed there, not because he was more outstanding than other doctors at the hospital base.

If anyone did a crosswise comparison, when it came to medical techniques, a senior doctor like Zhao Leyi was really just a junior like the ones who sat and waited at the general consultation area during consultation hours.

When Ling Ran went for freelance surgery, there were countless attending physicians who did retraction for him. Therefore, Ling Ran's comment on Lin Honghou's skills was very neutral.

He was pretty normal.

Lin Honghou's expression became increasingly sullen.

Compared to an attending physician like Zhao Leyi, Lin Honghou was the type who did not know where he stood in the medical world. As the saying went, ”When there is no comparison made, no one will be mentally harmed.” Lin Honghou usually spent half a year on the ocean, while the other half was spent on training, so his time in the hospital system was not very long.

In the hospital, Lin Honghou did not have the sense of distance in skill other doctors from local hospitals would have when they faced senior doctors.

During his daily medical practice, the diseases he encountered was actually quite simple. While hemorrhage was scary, in terms of medicine, it was actually very easy to treat this type of situation.

Since Lin Honghou had little experience in getting into contact with senior doctors and the senior doctors did not require much of him, that made him slightly arrogant. He raised his head and glared at Ling Ran before he sarcastically said, ”Doctor Ling, right? I am so sorry that my standards made you worry.”

Ling Ran gave a smile that showed his understanding.

He had seen many weak doctors, so it was not something strange to him.

Nevertheless, Lin Honghou was not used to Ling Ran's smile, so he could not help but snorted and said, ”Alright, since you're so great, please guide me.”

When Huo Congjun heard this, he thought that this doctor was stupid, and he quickly said, ”Ling Ran…”

Ling Ran nodded to Huo Congjun before he gave some guidance to Lin Honghou, ”If we talk solely on your suture just now, there aren't many problems. Your suture technique on the vessels was crude, so you might need to practice for a long while for that. Your knowledge about the anatomy of the abdominal cavity isn't great either. Hmm... this isn't something you can improve upon immediately. You can start by learning from the anatomical structure of the spleen…”

Lin Honghou was getting confused the more he listened to this. However, Ling Ran's barehanded bleeding control was still very impressive. Therefore, Lin Honghou pursed his lips at Huo Congjun and the rescue team members at the side before he readily gave away his position and said, ”Come, the place is yours.”
