837 Gather Together (2/2)

Ling Ran nodded. When he was finally able to see the person clearly, he saw that he was the surgeon sent for in-service training, who was sent to him by Department Director Huo. He thought for a while and asked, \”Have you decided on your training direction?\”

Not every person in-charge of the treatment group would bear the responsibility of managing a doctor who came over for in-service training. Under most circumstances, doctors who came for in-service training were similar to housemen and even interns, as they were all in a constant state of being exploited.

It was especially so for departments that did not have sufficient resources.

However, the conditions in Ling Ran's treatment group were obviously different.

His treatment group did not have many main surgical methods, but it involved a very wide coverage, and its depth was among the top in Yun Hua Hospital. In this situation, the doctors in the group would have a large number of patient resources and other resources no matter which direction they chose to develop, and Ling Ran was also willing to give the doctor who came for in-service training a chance to choose.

Ren Qi realized what was going on immediately, and he became tense instantly.

It was not easy to get a chance to pursue advanced studies, especially under Ling Ran's supervision. At this time, his choice was probably the key that would decide his success.

Ren Qi's brain worked swiftly, and he reluctantly gave up on learning any hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery methods.

If he could learn hepatectomy, he did not even need to consider whether Qiu County had the patients who needed hepatectomy. Ren Qi was sure that he could just work in any new hospital in Changxi Province.

However, two months of training would not allow him to master hepatectomy.

Ren Qi wisely gave up. He raised his head and said, \”Doctor Ling, I've made up my mind. I want to learn single-site laparoscopy.\”

Ling Ran frowned and said, \”What about the surgical method?\”

\”Appendectomy,\” Ren Qi immediately answered.

Appendectomy was the basic work in general surgery. From laparotomy, laparoscopy, to single-site laparoscopy, appendectomy always served as the surgery method that would start their path in learning their respective form of surgery.

And this was also the surgical method which was most often performed in the county hospital. If he could master it in two months, Ren Qi felt that he would not have wasted his trip.

Ling Ran did not understand Ren Qi's situation, so he could not help but ask, \”Why would you choose appendectomy? You know how to do it, right?\”

\”But I haven't performed single-site laparoscopies before,\” Ren Qi answered before he continued, \”I want to master the use of single-site laparoscopy. \”

\”The impact of single-site laparoscopy is still not as good as the traditional laparoscopy at the current stage.\”

Ren Qi explained, \”But the patients are willing to receive single site laparoscopies. There is no scar, since the incision is hidden in the belly button, and this is a strong attraction to the youngsters nowadays. I feel… I also have to advance with the times…\”

Ren Qi sounded slightly diffident. He glanced at Ling Ran's face, and he immediately added, \”I don't mean that I'm pursuing more advanced medical skills, but my training time is too short. I'm thinking that I should have enough time to learn single-site laparoscopy in two months… Doctor Ling?\”

Ling Ran's facial expression remained unchanged. After Ren Qi finished talking for a while, he nodded and answered, \”Sure. Then, we will temporarily set your training as single-site laparoscopy.\”

\”Okay.\”

\”Go on with your work.\” Ling Ran waved his hand and dismissed Ren Qi. Then, he started to think.

In general surgeries, it was easy to relate appendectomy with cholecystectomy. Ling Ran's appendectomy was at Perfect Level, but his cholecystectomy was only at Specialist Level.

That was because Ling Ran trained up his cholecystectomy by himself, and he obtained two Intermediate Treasure Chests as a result.

However, ever since his cholecystectomy reached Specialist Level, Ling Ran never managed to reach Master Level for the surgery no matter how hard he tried.

Ling Ran read up a lot of information for a period of time and did not stop exploring cholecystectomy's depth. Now, when he thought about it, there was a need for him to expand his coverage for him to reach Master Level.

It was just like when Ling Ran performed appendectomies. He could perform the surgery through laparotomy, single-site laparoscopy, and also multiple site laparoscopy. Ling Ran had performed cholecystectomy with laparotomy before, but he rarely performed single-site laparoscopy for cholecystectomy.

\”Find patients with cholecystitis who want single-site laparoscopy.\” Ling Ran took out his phone and made a call to Zuo Cidian.

He would always ask for patients with cholecystitis after some time, and Zuo Cidian was not surprised when he received the call. He agreed immediately and thought about how he should wait for emergency cases of cholecystitis cases in the Emergency Departments in the province while also making a few phone calls to a few hospitals he was familiar with in Yun Hua City. Then, he would grab some patients with chronic cholecystitis from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. It would then be very easy for him to gather the number of patients Ling Ran wanted.
