991 Beating Around the Bush (2/2)

Miao Tansheng widened his eyes. ”I'm surprised that you didn't say this to the patient's family members when you meet them.”

”Talent is not directly proportional to achievements.” Ling Ran shook his head. ”A person being untalented doesn't mean that she can't achieve great things. The patient obviously suffered from this injury because the quality of her Achilles tendon isn't the best. It's relatively short, and it is not very strong either. It might precisely because she isn't talented enough that she practiced so hard until her Achilles tendon ruptured.”

Miao Tansheng muttered to himself, ”For some reason, what you have just said makes a lot of sense. I…”

Ling Ran had already lowered his head, and he was focusing on the game he was playing again.

It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze blowing two days later.

Ling Ran had just arrived at the hospital, and he was enjoying porridge with sixteen side dishes that Tian Qi sent over. This was when the screen of his phone lit up.

”The king asked me to patrol the mountains…”

The voice of the singer was loud and clear, and he immediately lost the mood to eat.

”Hello.” Ling Ran had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and answer the call.

”Doctor Ling, I'm Wang Chuanwen.” Wang Chuanwen chuckled as though he was very close with Ling Ran.

Truth be told, Wang Chuanwen and Ling Ran knew each other quite well. Ever since Wang Chuanwen donated a sum of money to the Emergency Medical Center of Yun Hua Hospital, he showed up a lot to supervise the construction progress of the ICU. On the one hand, it was because he did not want the money he donated to go to waste. On the other hand, he was also trying to proactively form a good relationship with the doctors, especially with Ling Ran.

His efforts seemed to be bearing fruit. At the very least, Ling Ran had gotten a lot more used to seeing him.

”What's the matter?” Ling Ran looked at his porridge as he held his cell phone.

”I have a friend. His daughter is sixteen this year and ruptured her Achilles tendon while dancing. If I'm not mistaken, he had sought treatment from you earlier, but they ended up chickening out…” Wang Chuanwen chuckled a few times and continued, ”Now, he wants you to operate on his daughter again, but he's a little embarrassed about it. As he's worried that you would not want to take her daughter in anymore, he asked me for help.”

”Is this friend of yours President Pei?” Ling Ran asked.

”Yes. I see that you remember him.”

”Of course. The patient ran away just when I was about to operate on her.” Ling Ran found this patient very creative, and this was why he remembered the incident so well.

Wang Chuanwen immediately regretted calling Ling Ran. He immediately said, ”Ah, I didn't know that something like this happened. Why didn't President Pei tell me what exactly happened? If I knew, I wouldn't have helped him out…”

”How's the patient doing?” Ling Ran cut Wang Chuanwen off.

Wang Chuanwen hesitated for a moment and said, ”His daughter isn't doing too well, and her foot is swollen. She wants minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair, but she wants to be able to continue dancing too. None of the hospitals dared to promise her that.”

”I don't do minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair surgery,” Ling Ran quickly replied. There were many doctors who knew how to do that, and to Ling Ran, this was not challenging enough.

Wang Chuanwen quickly said, ”No, they want to receive the kind of surgery you're providing…”

”Send her to Yun Hua Hospital first.”

”So, you're agreeing to it?”

”Yes.” Ling Ran had never been the kind of person who went back on his word.

A sense of satisfaction filled Wang Chuanwen's heart when he heard what Ling Ran said. He suddenly felt that donating money to the Emergency Medical Center of Yun Hua Hospital was the best decision that he had ever made in his life.
