946 Inserted (1/2)

”There's cardiac tamponade. I'm about to slice it open to reduce the pressure,” Faulkner ordered as he gazed at the surgical field.

As he was not familiar with the people helping him out, it was better for him to state what he was about to do beforehand.

Department Director Kang, who was panting, heard the interpreter's rendition of Faulkner's words and quickly said, ”Prepare for blood transfusion. When the heart is sliced open and the pressure lowers, a lot of blood would gush out.”

”I've already prepared the blood bags,” the anesthetist said in a soft voice.

Department Director Kang turned and saw a couple of blood bags that had already been defrosted. He could not help but click his tongue. ”Good job, you're improving day by day. You're able to take things into consideration even before the chief surgeon did.”

The chief surgeon was a foreigner, so he was not worried about offending him.

As the anesthetist chuckled happily, he saw Huo Congjun's solemn expression. He trembled violently, and in a hurry, said, ”Doctor Ling was the one who asked me to prepare for blood transfusion. I don't dare to take credit for that…”

The aura Huo Congjun emanated was so powerful that the young attending physician spoke out what was on his mind. He even did it in such an eloquent manner.

With his power and capabilities, of course, he did not dare take credit for what Ling Ran had done. It was not about anything major, and it was not something that Ling Ran would get to flaunt about. Even so, he did not dare to offend Ling Ran and Huo Congjun.

This was especially true because Huo Congjun who was in the midst of invading the territory of the Cardiovascular Surgery Department was emanating an extremely fierce aura. The anesthetist did not want to become a victim of Huo Congjun's.

As expected, Huo Congjun flashed a slight smile.

The fact that Ling Ran made a correct judgment greatly increased Huo Congjun's confidence in him carrying out cardiovascular surgeries. In Huo Congjun's opinion, Ling Ran was able to learn anything quickly due to his talent. All Ling Ran had to do now was to learn how to carry out cardiovascular surgeries and train his subordinates. At that time, they would naturally be able to invade the Cardiovascular Surgery Department's territory.

Huo Congjun could not help but start thinking about how, aside from offering consultation for patients with liver problems, the Emergency Medical Center could also offer consultation for patients with joint problems in their hands and legs, knee joints, heart, and digestive tract… He began to imagine the placards outside the door.

He would make sure that the placards were made of Phoebe zhennan wood, and the offices must be three times larger than the ones they have now. There should be couches in the waiting room aside from several stools. The treatment room must be huge too. They would also be taking in more patients for surgery. He would make sure that the department was well-equipped with all the best furniture and machinery for no other reason other than the fact that they were filthy rich...

Department Director Kang's expression changed a little, and he said in disbelief, ”Doctor Ling, you know how to perform cardiovascular surgeries too?”

Ling Ran did not hear him, and even though the junior doctors in the operating theater heard it, they did not dare say anything.

An image appeared in Department Director Kang's mind. His office table was at the center of the image. He imagined the photograph frames and all his other personal belongings being piled up in a corner to clear the table. He then imagined himself sitting before the table and reading medical record after medical record, trying to collect enough information for a research paper even though he was not at the age of retirement yet.

”Prepare the aspirator,” Ling Ran's voice rang out.

Department Director Kang looked over with a dumbfounded expression, and Ling Ran's handsome and confident face was the first thing that appeared in his field of vision.

That was when Faulkner said something in English.

The interpreter hesitated for a few seconds. He then repeated what Ling Ran said before he interpreted Faulkner's words, ”Prepare a catheter.”

The people in the operating theater looked at each other. They soon understood what was going on.

Ling Ran had taken something into consideration before Faulkner again.

”Doctor Ling, you know how to perform cardiovascular surgery, don't you?” Faulkner asked.

”I've never actually done it,” Ling Ran answered.

”Oh, I was like this back then too. I practiced privately for a long time before I got my first opportunity from a cardiovascular surgeon.” Faulkner was emotional as he reminisced about his past.

The interpreter interpreted what Faulkner said, and Department Director Kang from the Cardiovascular Surgery Department could hear his heart shatter.

He felt tremendously upset. It was unhealthy for him to listen to the conversation between these two doctors.

”Do you dare to go into action?” Faulkner asked another question, and he was starting to sound like how he did back when he was in Mayo Clinic.

Faulkner was an attending physician, and he never got to show off when he was in Mayo Clinic because he was merely an ordinary surgeon. However, no matter how ordinary a surgeon in Mayo Clinic was, the fact that he made it to Mayo Clinic was extraordinary in itself. It was just like how an ordinary member of a professional sports team would be a lot more athletic compared to other people in society.

Plus, Faulkner was used to being the chief surgeon. As he dealt with Ling Ran now, he felt like he was dealing with a junior doctor who was in Mayo Clinic for in-service training.

It was not because he had forgotten how good Ling Ran's performance in the operating theater was, it was purely out of habit. Moreover, they were not performing gastrectomy or hepatectomy, which Ling Ran was renowned for, and Faulkner had a psychological advantage now that they were carrying out cardiovascular surgery.
