1029 Unanimous Decision (2/2)
…..
Ling Ran walked slowly and leisurely along the corridor.
With the large number of in-service training doctors entering the scene and Lu Wenbin as well as Ma Yanlin beginning to perform surgery as chief surgeons, the hospital beds in the Emergency Medical Center were used up faster than ever. After two weeks, the ward had reached the point where not even putting in extra beds were enough to accommodate all the patients.
Whenever that happened, the head nurse would go to Ling Ran and ask him to reduce the number of surgeries he performed. In fact, whenever this happened, it was time for Ling Ran to be a freelance surgeon.
There were so many cities in Changxi Province, and there was the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center—which he was familiar with—plus several more familiar hospitals in the surrounding provinces. With a period of one to two months, these hospitals would have enough beds and patients to feed the entire Ling Ran's treatment group.
However, Ling Ran was too lazy to perform freelance surgery today.
One, it was because his frequency of performing surgeries lately was somewhat high, and two, Tian Qi called and made an appointment for dinner.
Since it was an appointment, he naturally prepared in advance.
Ling Ran gave himself an hour to serve as leeway to prevent any accidents during the operation that would cause him to be unable to excuse himself.
Of course, the reality was that the operation was over fifteen minutes ahead of the expected time. Ling Ran simply wandered around and came to the fountain to feed the big white goose Fragrance Yard.
Fragrance Yard flapped its wings obediently as it drove the children nearby away before it lay in front of Ling Ran.
The big white goose was fatter than before. It might weigh more than 16 pounds now, and there was a possibility that it could even weigh 22 pounds.
Ling Ran rustled Fragrance Yard's feathers. The surrounding children were so envious that they could barely suppress their urge to touch the goose.
”Don't disturb Doctor Ling.” The young mothers persuaded their own children and exchanged information about Doctor Ling with each other.
”Aren't doctors all extremely busy?” The young fathers and boyfriends also whispered to each other to criticize Ling Ran with the way he behaved right now.
”Doctors are not just tools, they'd also need to have leisure time.”
The discussions around him were soft and meticulous, like a thick smoke rich with the flavor of life as it enveloped Ling Ran.
”The king asked me to patrol the mountains...”
Ling Ran's phone rang like a spring of water that sent snow scattering in all directions.
”Hello—”
”Doctor Ling, I've arrived at the hospital. Have you finished your operation?” Tian Qi's voice was as clear and sweet as spring water.
”Yeah. I completed it in advance.”
”That's great. Um... my car arrived early as well, so can we add another activity?” Tian Qi sounded hopeful.
Ling Ran agreed immediately, ”Alright. I'll be there soon.”
While Ling Ran spoke, he patted Fragrance Yard and walked toward the parking lot with his phone.
Tian Qi asked, ”You're not going to ask what's the additional activity?”
”I'm fine with anything,” Ling Ran replied with a smile. The activities organized by Tian Qi had always been very comfortable and not weird, and this will be no exception as well.
