723 Flower Baske (1/2)

”So, can you treat my disease too?” The patient with liver cysts observed Ling Ran in a judgmental manner.

Ling Ran did not reply immediately, but he asked, ”Have you gone for any MRI scans before in this hospital?”

”I have.” The patient nodded and said, ”I brought you the MRI scans.”

Then, he immediately took out the large MRI scan from the sewn bag he was carrying. Even though he had doubts, the patient was still quite cooperative in Yun Hua Hospital's consultation room.

Ling Ran took the scans and said to Lu Wenbin, who was beside him. ”Transfer his original MRI scans over.”

”Okay,” Lu Wenbin replied and immediately operated the computer.

If a patient took his or her MRI scan at Yun Hua Hospital, the original scan was usually saved under the name of the patient. As compared to a single MRI scan brought by the patient, the MRI scans saved in the hospital server were more complete.

Ling Ran first took a look at the MRI scan that the patient brought. When he turned around, Lu Wenbin had transferred the original MRI scans over. He was very familiar with this step, as it was a compulsory operation step when Ling Ran performed surgery.

From the monitor, Ling Ran could easily see the location and situation of the cysts in the patient.

”There is already seroperitoneum, so you need to go for surgery as soon as possible. Your previous doctor recommended you to receive surgery, right?” Ling Ran looked at the patient and said, ”I suggest that you be admitted to the hospital now and receive another MRI scan.”

However, the patient looked at Ling Ran, shook his head, and said, ”I still don't want to receive surgery. Can I still opt for traditional treatment?”

”You still need to be admitted,” Ling Ran said.

”If I have to be admitted… I'll consider again.” The patient looked at Ling Ran's age and face, and he did not quite believe him.

Compared to the patients of the Emergency Department, the patients in the Outpatient Department were even more prone to not follow medical advice. Ling Ran hesitated for two seconds before he flipped his hand around and called out the Virtual Human.

A few seconds later, the Virtual Human that was cut opened and bled all over the floor suddenly disappeared. Ling Ran sighed in relief. From the result, the patient's liver condition was similar to what he had judged, and he was basically in a situation where surgery was needed. However, it was not too critical.

”I suggest that you undergo surgery within one to two months.” Ling Ran stopped for a while and said, ”The condition of your body will decline, and you'll need to pay attention to your health at all times. It's better to be hospitalized for treatment.”

”Okay, understood. Then, doctor, you can continue with your work.” The patient acted politely and quickly left the consultation room.

Lu Wenbin pursed his lips as if a customer had slipped from his grasp. ”Damn, that patient will most likely not come back, judging from his behavior. Doctor Ling, it's truly a disadvantage for us to offer consultations.”

According to the rules in Yun Hua Hospital, the treatment group that accepted the patient would be in charge of providing the treatment for the patient. That was the meaning of the accept and treat system.

However, as the benefits of the patients and doctors were often linked together, the system of accepting and treating the patients could not be said to be a duty, but a kind of authority.

If the treatment group wanted to perform more surgeries, they must take in more patients. For a normal treatment group, providing consultations was the best way for them to earn more income, or else, they needed to rely on the Emergency Department to refer patients to them.

That was why the high-ranking doctors in the country still needed to go for consultation due to such systems. The high-ranking doctors not only had to take in patients for themselves but also had to take in patients for their lackeys in their treatment group.

The young doctors would not be able to take in patients if they performed the consultation themselves, or at least, they would not be able to take in as many patients who fulfilled their requirements.

Because there were also competitions among doctors. Take, for example, patients suited to receive hepatectomy. There would only be so many patients per year, and everyone went for good hospitals and experts, while the remaining went for associate department directors or attending physicians who were not famous. What doctors needed was a stable and permanent disease source. They could not hope on patients who would come by chance.

For example, if a doctor like Professor Feng Zhixiang was placed overseas, he could probably only accept certain kinds of patients who were referred to him by his peers. But in the country, he would still need to offer consultations.
