1015 Flattering (2/2)

Doctor Qu felt that it was really dangerous to deal with a skillful and powerful doctor.

It would be way too easy for Ling Ran to set him up, and he was not sure about what was on the other party's mind.

Fortunately, the patient's family members gave Doctor Qu another chance to flatter Ling Ran.

Before the patient's older sister could make any further inquiries, Doctor Qu loudly said, ”I've already explained this before the surgery. Doctor Ling was the one who invented the Zhu-Ling Achilles Repair Technique that was used on the patient. Truth be told, Doctor Ling could be said to be the number one doctor in the country when it comes to Achilles tendon repairs. Since he happened to be here when I was using the surgical method he invented, is it not a given for me to ask for his guidance? This is also a way for me to show how dedicated I am at treating the patient, isn't it?”

As Doctor Qu spoke, his tone became more and more solemn, and he emanated a domineering aura.

The patient's older sister widened her eyes. 'What the heck is going on?'

The onlooking crowd started whispering to each other.

”Since when is there such an excellent doctor in Wuxin?”

”Stop making a fool of yourself. That doctor is from Yun Hua. He's very famous in Yun Hua Hospital.”

”How do you know that?”

”My brother-in-law received hepatectomy at Yun Hua Hospital, and this doctor is considered a renowned one in the country. Even though he looks extremely young, it's very hard to get a consultation slot with him. I only managed to get my brother-in-law a consultation slot with him in Wuxin City through connections. I heard that scalpers are selling tickets for consultation slots with this doctor for more than 1,000 RMB…”

”No, wait. Why do you sound so happy even though you have a brother-in-law who's receiving hepatectomy…? Oh…”

The pair of siblings found themselves unable to wrap their minds over this entire matter as they listened to the people around them speak.

The patient's elder sister tried her best to focus. She then looked at Doctor Qu and said, ”There's a loophole in your story!”

”What?” Doctor Qu looked at the patient's elder sister. 'Are we filming a detective series now?'

”You said that you're a skillful doctor. Then, why do you have to ask for guidance? This doesn't make sense. Moreover, you said that your surgery was done very well… Since you can do it so well, there's no need for you to ask for guidance from another young doctor, isn't it?” The patient's older sister insisted on her own point of view.

”Under normal circumstances, of course not.” Doctor Qu nodded and continued, ”But Doctor Ling's skills… Let me put it this way. In the context of our country's field of orthopedics, although I'm considered pretty good, Doctor Ling is the number one in our country. He's the best at it. Do you get what I mean? So, by asking for guidance from Doctor Ling, I'm able to operate on the patient even better. This is good for the patient, and recovery would definitely be even better than expected.”

The patient's older sister looked at Doctor Qu in a daze. ”The private hospital we went to said that you are one of the best orthopedics surgeons in our country. And… and… you're working for the Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Center, aren't you?”

”You're right, but Doctor Ling is an even better orthopedics surgeon compared to me. Don't you get it?” Doctor Qu was actually intentionally flattering Ling Ran with so many people around, even though Ling Ran himself was not in the room. Now that someone was playing along with him, he was flattering Ling Ran even more earnestly. ”Let me make an inappropriate example. If I were a high school student, with my skills, I'll probably get able to get into a key university without problems, but if I were lucky, I would get into one of the universities listed under Project 211. If I'm even luckier, I'll get into one of the universities listed under Project 985. As for Doctor Ling, he'll definitely be one of the top students in the country.”

The people around him could not help but gasp.

The patient's older sister said in a daze, ”Did I make a wrong choice?”

Doctor Qu said unhappily, ”It's not like you guys got into a losing deal with me being the surgeon, okay? Even if you were to disregard other things, when it comes to Achilles tendon repair alone, I'm better than most doctors. You have to know that the average student can only enter a third-tier university.”

”But before this…” The patient's older sister did not know what else to say.

”You guys merely didn't luck out, but it's not like you got a bad deal.” Doctor Qu pursed his lips. He felt that he had flattered Ling Ran enough, and he did not bother saying anything else. He merely said, ”Hurry up and accompany the patient back to the ward. When it comes to recovery, only 30% of it is dependent on the care the patient receives. 70% of it depends on the patient himself.”

After he finished talking, Doctor Qu turned and returned to the corridor of the operating theater. He then went to the operating theater where Ling Ran was working to make a report.
