1035 Subtotal Gastrectomy (1/2)

”Ma Yanlin's performance is quite good. Let's have a few more people watch his surgery.” During the afternoon review meeting, Ling Ran gave an order to Zuo Cidian while wiping alcohol-based hand sanitizer comfortably all over his hand.

The doctors in the group who sat around the long table were also wiping alcohol-based hand sanitizer on their hands, and they looked at Ma Yanlin curiously.

Zuo Cidian was a bit dumbfounded. 'What do you mean by good performance?

'Was it because of Chief Physician Tao's performance? Or was it based on the performance of the doctors who came over to observe? Or was it truly just based on Ma Yanlin's performance?'

Zuo Cidian could not understand it, but he was fine if Doctor Ling was satisfied.

A long time ago, Zuo Cidian had forced himself to try not to read Doctor Ling's thoughts.

The thoughts within this kind of people… Truly, there were certain groups of people in the world whose thoughts you would never be able to truly understand.

When Zuo Cidian saw Ling Ran's expression, he asked according to the topic at hand, ”Should we invite Chief Physician Tao for a lecture?”

”Yes. Chief Physician Tao's lecture is not too bad.” Ling Ran put down the alcohol-based hand sanitizer as he said this. He looked at the doctors in his group who sat at both sides of the long table and said, ”Assign Doctor Zhang Anmin, Ren Qi, and Ye Sigong this time round for the surgery. Hmm, arrange them to come in one after another. There's no need to hurry.”

Everyone could not help but look at the three people who were appointed.

Zhang Anmin was already an associate chief physician, so his expression was still normal. However, the in-service training doctors, Ren Qi and Ye Sigong were stunned.

'What is happening?'

The in-service training doctors and housemen who sat scattered at both sides of the table looked at Ren Qi and Ye Sigong with indecipherable expressions.

When someone was appointed by Ling Ran, at the very least, Ling Ran remembered their names and treated them differently, regardless of the fact of whether they were good or bad.

Ren Qi also thought of this, and he remembered what Ling Ran had asked him before.

'”Are you my subordinates?”'

He could not help but feel warmth in his heart. Suddenly, Ren Qi became nervous again and whispered, ”Doctor Ling, Doctor Ma is here to demonstrate the Zhu-Ling Achilles Repair Technique to others. What kind of surgical method will Doctor Ye and I be using?”

Ling Ran had previously used one minute to think about this question. Now, he thought for another thirty seconds and said, ”Ren Qi and Ye Sigong, you'll follow me to perform a gastrectomy. Assign Chief Physician Tao to Zhang Anmin to perform hepatectomy.”

Zhang Anmin had followed Ling Ran to perform some hepatectomies. He was not nervous when he heard that. He just asked with some hesitation, ”What's going on with Chief Physician Tao now?”

”Have Chief Physician Tao give explanations on the spot so that the in-service training doctors could understand,” Ling Ran answered firmly. This was indeed his plan, but his intention for the plan was not for Chief Physician Tao to come and give a lecture.

Zhang Anmin suddenly came to a realization. He nodded in understanding. ”True. Doctor Ling, you're too busy. If we have Chief Physician Tao give the explanation…”

”Ahem.” Zuo Cidian pretended to cough and said, ”We ARE organizing a training camp, right? Since Chief Physician Tao is still healthy, it's a good thing for him to come over and explain to the in-service training doctors…”

”Yes, training camp.” Zhang Anmin chuckled.

Ling Ran did not care what they thought. Once he saw that they understood him, he reminded Zuo Cidian. ”The in-service training doctors who are older will be given to Zhang Anmin. Those who are older than… Hmm, arrange them in order from old to young. Split them into three equal groups, and have Doctor Zhang take the oldest group.”

”Okay.” Zuo Cidian felt that this was reasonable. The difficulty level of hepatectomy was very high. For those doctors who had lousy basics, Zhang Anmin's performance would not produce an outstanding effect on them. As for whether the in-service training doctors had good skills or not? Instead of wasting their time observing them carefully, it would be easier to just judge them based on their age. They never intended to group the doctors too accurately based on their skills, anyway. And for young doctors, the experience they accumulated was a major factor in deciding their skills. A thirty-five year-old doctor might be better than a thirty-year-old doctor, and a thirty-year-old doctor might be better than a twenty-five-year-old doctor. While this might not be completely right, it was not completely wrong either.

Of course, Ling Ran was an exception.

For example, while some people were handsome, some would even transcend the standards of human aesthetics, so there was no need to be too conflicted about this sort of thing.

Zhang Anmin understood what Ling Ran meant. His expression turned serious, and he said slowly, ”Doctor Ling, please be rest assured, I won't embarrass our treatment group.”

A few doctors who knew the exact situation stared at Zhang Anmin and exchanged their thoughts through their gazes. They felt sentimental. 'The associate chief physician of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery said that he would not embarrass Ling Ran's treatment group during the meeting held by Ling Ran's treatment in the Emergency Medical Center… The prestige of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery has been destroyed by Zhang Anmin.'

Zuo Cidian waited for Zhang Anmin to finish showing his loyalty and said, ”Doctor Ling, how many people do you need for the subtotal gastrectomy that you mentioned just now?”

”For the first three days, arrange two cases each day. Ren Qi and Ye Sigong will follow me to observe how I do it while they act as assistants.” Ling Ran then thought for a few seconds and said, ”As for the ones later, it'll depend on how many patients we get. We'll perform not more than eight surgeries every day… Hmm… let's make it no more than ten cases instead.”
