921 Lukewarm (1/2)

”The surgery is very successful, but the patient still needs to stay at the ICU for a few days. Once his condition is stable, the patient can be transferred to the general ward…” Ling Ran gave a clear explanation when he was blocked by Young Feng while going out of the main door of the surgery corridor.

Zuo Cidian stood slightly ahead of him, and he did not stop Ling Ran either.

Zuo Cidian was from a town hospital, and he placed more perspective into reading people. From his perspective, Young Feng met the expectations of a doctor' evaluation of a good patient. She did not cause a ruckus, signed the forms obediently, and did all the other foundations for a surgery to be conducted perfectly. She could even understand the high cost she had to bear in the hospital and had her own expectations on the patient's medical condition…

Because of it, it was not a problem for Ling Ran to speak of the surgery with such certainty.

Zuo Cidian was quite envious of Ling Ran. Certainly, he should envy Ling Ran, but when he heard Ling Ran say that the surgery was ”very” successful, there was a moment that Zuo Cidian felt relieved.

At this moment, the number of doctors who dared to talk like Ling Ran was decreasing. In fact, the more qualified a young doctor was, the more they knew how to protect themselves.

'Yes, the young doctors with higher qualifications would soon get promoted.' When Zuo Cidian thought about this, he felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Young Feng took some time to understand the information she received just now, and she looked happy. She could hardly believe what she heard and said delicately, ”It's okay even if he stays at the ICU. I already feel satisfied if I can watch over Young Dai…”

Young Feng had even argued loudly with truck drivers at wholesale markets before, but now, her voice was soft with excitement. ”Um, Doctor Ling, if the surgery is successful, does that mean that Young Dai will wake up?”

”After he metabolizes the anesthetic drugs, he should have a higher chance of waking up.” Ling Ran gave a relatively firm answer.

Young Dai was in a coma because of his liver metastasis. Since the liver surgery was now successfully completed, he should be able to regain his consciousness. However, there was no doubt that there were risks brought by anesthesia in such a major surgery. Even though Ling Ran had Master Level Anesthesia Care, he could only interfere with the anesthesia plans used during the surgery slightly.

After all, the topics related to anesthesia might be more complicated than certain surgery types focusing only on one aspect. This was not something a surgeon could toy around after just mastering anesthesia care.

Young Feng's face finally showed a full-blown smile and asked, ”And does that mean that if he is awake, he could speak?”

Ling Ran replied, ”He would be able to do so under normal circumstances. Yes, the surgery did not affect the patient's speaking ability…”

”Ahem.” Zuo Cidian eventually interrupted the silly conversation between the good doctor and good patient and said, ”What Doctor Ling is certain of right now is that the surgery for the gastrectomy in combination with hepatic resection is successful. The patient's recovery still requires us to cooperate with the ICU.”

”I know, I know.” Young Feng immediately nodded. ”It will be great if he can talk. I just need to say a few words with Young Dai. I would be more than happy to just speak to him.”

As Young Feng spoke, she finally failed in holding back her tears, and they flowed down her cheeks, blurring her vision, and causing her to see only a ball of light when she looked at Ling Ran's face.

”Thank you, Doctor Ling,” Young Feng spoke with a hoarse sound.

”If a situation arises, you can just look for the doctor in charge. You may contact me as well.” Ling Ran did not have the intention to meddle with others' affairs, step over the ICU, and interrupt with Young Dai's recovery after the surgery.

The level of the Emergency Medical Center's nursing care during the perioperative period cannot be compared with the ICU.

Young Feng nodded again. She had a lot of things to say, but she did not know how to give voice to her thoughts.

A Sincere Gratitude Treasure Chest appeared in front of Ling Ran.

For Ling Ran, he considered himself to have received a clear hint from the patient's family.

Ling Ran nodded, then he said to Zuo Cidian next to him, ”Give a pork trotter to the patient's family. I'll go and take a rest first.”

When he finished speaking, Ling Ran turned around and left.

Zuo Cidian was stunned. He then took out a lunch box with a pork trotter, which he had brought for Ling Ran, and passed it to Young Feng. He smiled in bafflement and said, ”Doctor Ling has performed the surgery from morning until now, and he hasn't eaten anything yet. I brought this for him… You also haven't eaten anything yet, right? Fill up your stomach with a pork trotter first.”

Young Feng was stunned as she took it.

Zuo Cidian purposely muttered, ”I've seen many doctors who don't accept presents from patient's family members, but only Doctor Ling gives away his dinner to patient's family members.”

”Oh… Tha-thank you…” Young Fen was totally stunned. If it were another doctor, she might suspect that he had fallen for her and was trying hard to please her.

However, Young Feng absolutely dared not think this way for a doctor like Ling Ran.

”Excuse me, but, why?” Young Feng could not help but ask.
