942 Not at All (2/2)

”Of course. It might be hard to believe, but Ling Ran is the best doctor in the Emergency Medical Center.” Huo Congjun made it a point to recognize Ling Ran's abilities in front of all the leaders. He continued, ”This celebratory banquet is mainly held to honor Doctor Ling for having performed a successful combined liver and pancreatic radical surgery some time ago. This is a world-class surgery, and very few doctors in the world are capable of it.”

Huo Congjun praised Ling Ran earnestly so that the ”veterinarians” would hold Ling Ran in high regard.

Even though Ling Ran's performance when carrying out hepatectomy was also world class, hepatectomy was a well-developed surgical method. So, no matter how good at hepatectomy a doctor was, he would just be doing something that other doctors before him had done. In short, it was hard for a doctor to become very famous courtesy of hepatectomy.

It was not easy for a doctor to gain recognition in the field of surgery just because he had completed a difficult world-class surgery. Several years ago, a doctor would still make the news after completing a world-class surgery. However, for the past few years, hospitals are becoming more and more well-equipped, and the quality of drugs and equipment were getting better and better. Hence, it was hard for Chinese surgeons to make a name for himself just by completing a world-class surgery. In the field of hepatectomy alone, doctors in the world had already set various precedents when it came to liver cancer patients, liver transplant, and laparoscopy a long time ago. Hence, doctors in China would not become highly renowned just by performing hepatectomy. At most, they would be famous among patients and other doctors.

However, with the state of the field of medicine in Yun Hua City, the word ”world-class” still carried some weight.

The leaders listened earnestly as Huo Congjun boasted about Ling Ran. When they looked at Ling Ran after that, as expected, they noticed something different about this young doctor.

”His maneuvers are very perfect indeed. We didn't even used to be so meticulous back in the days.” Department Director Long who used to be a doctor pretended to be professional and gave a professional remark.

Huo Congjun praised him. ”Department Director Long, you're totally right.”

”It's the truth.” Department Director Long smiled.

As they spoke, Ling Ran was done with the tracheostomy. Now that Dobin had enough oxygen supply, his face was obviously less pale.

”Will the party go on?” Faulkner watched as Dobin was carried off in a stretcher and asked a little worriedly.

Ling Ran looked at Zuo Cidian.

Zuo Cidian shrugged. ”The time for the banquet is allocated already.”

”That's great, then. It's way too boring in the hotel,” Faulkner said and downed the wine in his glass.

He was not really interested in the food served in the banquet. Mayo Clinic was located in Minnesota, and it was a cold and untrendy state. Faulkner was not interested in Chinese food, but he loved alcohol very much.

”You have a girlfriend with a winery. A very beautiful girlfriend at that. This is what I admire about you the most.” Faulkner gave Ling Ran a thumbs up. He had no intention of talking about medicine or surgery, as surgeons did not like to praise other doctors regarding their skills. But it was not difficult for him to praise another surgeon's girlfriend.

Ling Ran turned and glanced at Tian Qi. ”You have a winery?”

”I have three.” Pleased with herself, Tian Qi extended three of her fair fingers. She explained, ”My mother gave me my first winery, and my grandfather saw that I was good at running the winery, so he gave me my second winery. I purchased the third winery, the one that produces the No. 7 that we are drinking now, myself. I hired some new winemakers and came out with a new sales plan…”

Tian Qi said all of this in one breath. When she saw how earnest Ling Ran's expression was and could not help but smile. ”Was I talking too much?”

Ling Ran smiled. ”Not at all.”
