699 Rest and Regather (1/2)

”Doctor Ling, please take a rest. ” Lu Wenbin also moved away from the operating table, and it was Lin Honghou's turn to move next to it.

Although Lin Honghou was an attending physician, he had very limited chances to perform surgery. Aside from the one to two training sessions every year, the only other times he could perform more surgeries was when he was working three to four months at the base or when the hospital ship provided medical aid once a year on average.

But that was about it. He was not a direct student of any of the senior doctors from the base, so it would never be his turn to perform major surgeries. When he worked outside the base, the rescue team who provided free medical assistance would never have the chance to perform any major surgeries. Even if they did, they could not do many of them, and they would also not let Lin Honghou perform all of them.

Take, for example, today. This was originally something that Lin Honghou was supposed to be able to do with confidence, but since the number of surgeries that he usually performed was few, forget having his superiors letting him perform those surgeries, even Lin Honghou himself was worried about his standards as a chief surgeon.

Only when experts like Ling Ran performed the main part of the surgeries and stayed by the side to observe the remaining would Lin Honghou be able to quietly perform some surgeries.

At such a moment, even Lu Wenbin could stand beside him and guide him.

In fact, when it came to the hands and legs, Lu Wenbin's experience was at least ten times that of Lin Honghou. Even if they just treated a normal fracture, Lu Wenbin was also comparable in terms of skill with Lin Honghou.

Medicine was a type of empirical science. Only when they had a certain degree of experience would the doctors be qualified to talk about theories, use various instruments, or pull off any other noteworthy feats.

It was not strange for barefoot doctors to be better at treating patients compared to resident doctors. Even when it came to making mistakes, barefoot doctors made fewer of them. However, the core focus of medical treatment was never problems like success rate, failure rate, and error rate made by junior doctors. The focus of medical treatment was always about how doctors could provide treatment to the masses. This was an era where even a normal person stood a chance to go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital and ask for treatment from the best doctor in China.

Only doctors could understand the difficulty of moving from a resident doctor all the way to becoming a top-class medical expert.

Ling Ran calmly glanced around the operating theater. He saw everyone doing their tasks in a well-organized manner, and he nodded at Lu Wenbin before he took off the gloves and left the operating theater.

The operating theaters in the hospital ship was not a laminar flow operating theatre, and the air-conditioning was not strong either. When there were many people inside, the patient's risk of getting an infection would increase, meanwhile, the environment inside was not comfortable as well.

Naturally, the air in the corridor was just as bad.

Ling Ran frowned and said to Huo Congjun, who followed behind him. ”Department director, the air in the ship has been polluted.”

”Yes, I've made some arrangements to send some people back. The people with light injuries could be sent back first, and some of the rescue team members who changed shifts could go back too. We'll observe the severely wounded for one day. Then, we will see how the situation is. If there are still injured people sent over, we will consider medical evacuation, otherwise, the whole ship will have to go back.” Huo Congjun made it sound very easy. Yun Hua 893 was always a hospital ship, and it was also a medium-sized auxiliary hospital ship. Sending the injured people back was its main job. If they waited for another ship over before they evacuated the injured, it would be very easy for them to cause harm.

This was especially so for wounded people who had just undergone major surgery, if they were in the hospitals on land, they would need to be observed for two or three days in the ICU as well. Therefore, sending these patients out of the ship to another without any health security systems was basically not possible.

Huo Congjun was also learning about the operating mode of the hospital ships, and he added his mindset into it the more he learned about how they operated.

Ling Ran only needed to raise a question and get a solution.

”I'll go and take a shower first, call me if anything happens.” Ling Ran left elegantly. At the same time, the reminder from the system popped out in his mind.

[Mission Completed: Rescue him]

[Mission Details: Rescue the vice-captain]

[Reward: A monthly pass to relieve soreness]

Subsequently, a plaster-like sticker the size of a palm appeared in front of Ling Ran and shone in faint red light.
