814 Chief Surgeon Ling Ran (2/2)

In the surgical chain of contempt, operating on the stomach was a bit more advanced than removing feces, but the range of the advancement was only about as much as the distance from the stomach to the intestine. If you used the contents in the stomach to describe the surgery, it can be said to be a semi-feces removal surgery, and when listening to that term alone, it might actually sound rather high end.

The only place where Ouyang Kan had an advantage was that he had performed more stomach cancer surgeries and understood the operation better. But this advantage, compared to the skills mastered by Ling Ran, was just a small weight on the scales. This was just like the surgeons in the American system. After the end of their resident doctor career, once they have become attending physicians, they will be focused on achieving hegemony in departments with different focuses. They will do hepatectomy today and gastrectomy tomorrow, and this was very common. Powerful doctors can even operate from the brain all the way to the urinary tract.

Of course, this was also because the number of surgeons in the United States was scarce, and the number of surgeons that they can afford in a hospital was not high. But since the surgeons in the United States can perform operations in multiple departments and maintain a certain standard, Ling Ran was confident that the variety of skills he currently possessed will definitely bring better medical results than Ouyang Kan.

Ouyang Kan was never a talented surgeon, he was just an excellent doctor who followed the rules.

This kind of excellence can make him stand out during medical school when he was studying and be assigned to the best hospital in Changxi Province, became the fastest to rise to power as an attending physician and then an associate chief physician in his batch. But that was about it. In terms of being a genius, at the national level, even saying He Yuanzheng was a genius because he managed to become a department director in his forties was a bit of a stretch, because he only managed to get to his position because of coincidence.

A strong genius doctor would be someone who can publish seven papers in The New England Journal of Medicine in five years, develop a new technique in three years, and re-create new standards in the related disciplines every fifteen years.

Ling Ran was not familiar with Ouyang Kan, but when he was sure that his skills were better than his, he did not hesitate to say, ”There would be a higher success rate if I'm the chief surgeon.”

”Let's not joke around.” Huo Congjun seriously sought for a confirmation again.

Ling Ran stared at Huo Congjun's expression without answering.

Department Director Huo laughed out loud. ”I'm just kidding, I know you're not joking.”

Ling Ran still just silently looked at Department Director Huo.

Huo Congjun laughed and sighed again. ”In this case, you have to speak to Ouyang Kan nicely. Does he have any requirements?”

”No,” Ling Ran answered.

Huo Congjun laughed, picked up his phone, and called Zuo Cidian.

A few minutes later, Huo Congjun put down his phone and said in surprise, ”Associate Department Director Ouyang really doesn't have any requirements and is willing to be an assistant?”

Ling Ran did not answer.

Huo Congjun still said to himself, ”If he is going to participate in the preoperative consultation, then he would be able to give some advice on techniques, and then act as your assistant while also serving as backup? Is this person so easy to be bullied?”

Ling Ran raised an eyebrow.

Huo Congjun's expression gradually lit up, ”It's not easy to find such a doctor who is so easy to bully now. Ling Ran, you did well, you did well!”

”I only plan to perform an operation on Officer Xu.” Ling Ran felt that Huo Congjun was straying from the topic.

Huo Congjun just gave a hearty laugh, like an emerald Pixiu rolling about in an elderly tour group.
