842 Cut On Site (1/2)

Ling Ran watched surgeries for the entire day. Then, when he saw that Dan Quan had started to perform open gastrectomy, he walked away.

He did not look down on Dan Quan's open gastrectomy, he looked down on it very much. He was at most at the beginning of Specialist Level. If he could not handle the middle and later parts of the surgery well, then he would only be at advanced Novice Level. For Ling Ran, there was no use for him to refer to his skills.

From this point of view, it was clear that Dan Quan did not perform a lot of laparotomies. Perhaps most of his time was spent on laparoscopes.

Speaking of which, this was also a common state for Dan Quan's generation of doctors in the field of general surgery. Some doctors who were lucky in the hospital rushed to perform open abdominal surgeries, and when they were still young, they got to perform major surgeries and develop their skills in the area of open abdominal surgeries. Meanwhile, those doctors who were unlucky would not be able to become chief surgeons for major surgeries even when they got older, and they could only depend on laparoscopes to support their lives…

Few people could predict that the laparoscope would develop to what it was today.

The surgeries done by the General Surgery Department were almost completely performed through laparoscopes. For those who were skilled in using laparoscopes, there were only surgeries they could not perform well, never surgeries that they could not do.

Unfortunately, Dan Quan was also an extremity in the field of laparoscopy. His best single-site laparoscopy was not good enough for him to deal with every situation, and since he was still a little young and worked in the prestigious Yun Hua Hospital, most of the triple-site laparoscopies were done by his seniors.

Dan Quan knew about his situation. When he saw that Ling Ran did not take an interest in his open abdominal surgery, he let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, \”With a handsome guy in front of you, all of you can't even say something witty. Finally, he's gone.\”

\”Chief Physician Dan, no one uses the term 'witty' anymore. Even if you're handsome, once you say that, you'll look really crass.\” The nurse who was washing her hand pouted.

Chief Physician Dan laughed. \”Oh, then it's my fault. I should say that we should be cracking dirty jokes. Let me say the first one…\”

The circulating nurses sighed as she looked at the door's direction. \”I hope Doctor Ling is just going to wash his hands, and he's coming back to perform the surgery with us.\”

Chief Physician Dan wanted to be unhappy, but when he thought about Ling Ran's face, the feeling was gone.

Even he felt that Ling Ran brought about a different atmosphere when he entered the operating theater. They might face the same blue wall and green floor, but the people around him felt happier when he was around.

\”The Emergency Medical Center can't even finish its own surgeries. It's impossible for them to supervise ours all day long,\” Chief Physician Dan replied to the circulating nurse. He then turned around and went on with the same topic. \”The Emergency Medical Center's bonus this year should be very high. It's already amazing that you can successfully complete a hepatectomy. Now, they should be performing fifty cases per month.\”

\”I think they exceeded that number last month. They should have performed sixty or seventy cases.\” The assistant was a junior doctor who gave off a weak presence. He held the mirror and quickly gossiped about the doctors.

Chief Physician Dan clicked his tongue a couple of times and was a little envious, \”On average, two hepatectomies can be carried in a day. If they really carried it out, they would only be able to reach sixty to seventy cases a month by operating on three to four cases a day.\”

He was a chief surgeon himself. He knew the various problems that arose when making arrangements for surgeries, especially in large-scale surgery. A lot of manpower and material resources would need to be accumulated for the preoperative consultation and all matters that required post-operation. If this opportunity was to be given to normal doctors, they would also be able to perform sixty or seventy surgeries a month as well. But under normal circumstances, a normal department could not possibly release such a large number of resources to a normal doctor.

Take Ling Ran's surgeries as an example. Right now, his treatment group was equivalent to having one associate chief physician, one chief resident, three resident doctors, multiple housemen and interns, along with an unlimited number of anesthetists and nurses waiting on him hand and foot.

Chief Physician Dan did not think it was necessary, and he did not want to bear so much pressure either, he just felt a little envious, that was all.

\”Freedom is still the best.\” Chief Physician Dan laughed and continued to busy himself with the surgery.

Early in the morning on the next day, Chief Physician Dan drove his Mercedes-Benz. Just like usual, he drove slowly and kept to the car lane while giving way to pedestrians. He only stepped on the accelerator when he was about to reach the hospital.

He arrived at the hospital five minutes earlier than yesterday.

When he entered the elevator, Chief Physician Dan subconsciously took out his phone and looked through it.

He was scheduled for surgery at nine o'clock today, and the time was…

'It's okay to be a little late…' Chief Physician Dan laughed at himself. 'Those who become chief physicians but failed in becoming a department get to enjoy freedom, isn't it? Being a little late is nothing…'

Chief Physician Dan might be thinking about that, but once he left the elevator, he still sped up a little.
