1035 Subtotal Gastrectomy (2/2)

Ren Qi and Ye Sigong had been smiling, now, their smiles morphed into something only lunatics would have.

Unless those eight surgeries were surgeries related to the Ophthalmology Department and Urology Department, who else could handle them?

But neither of them dared speak up or ask.

Ling Ran did not say anything else. He ended the meeting with a few sentences and immediately rushed to the operating theater.

The temperature and humidity in the operating theater was just right. Not just were there scarcely anyone around, everyone even made sure they were clean all the time. The conditions here were much more comfortable than the world out there.

At night, a patient with gastrointestinal stromal tumors was borrowed from the General Surgery Department.

Ling Ran immediately brought some people over for the ward round.

Zuo Cidian followed Ling Ran closely and explained, ”The General Surgery Department is running low on hospital beds. I went to take a look just now, and I suggested that they pass us a patient from the corridor. Then, I brought back this patient with gastrointestinal stromal tumors.”

Zuo Cidian stopped for a while and said, ”This patient's family condition is not very good. He only has a new rural cooperative medical insurance, and he was urged twice by the hospital before he managed to pay his admission deposit in full. It would be more troublesome for him to pay his fees later.”

”Okay, that's not a problem.” Ling Ran did not care at all.

Such a situation happened more frequently in the Emergency Department than the General Surgery Department.

The General Surgery Department still had the option of whether they wanted to take in a patient to treat them. When the hospital beds were fully occupied, they had even more room to choose their patients. However, the Emergency Department did not have such freedom. Once the green channel was approved, they usually could not afford to care much about whether the patient could pay their fees or not.

Some doctors cared more about their bonuses and would be stricter on this matter. Doctors like Ling Ran had long since broken free from the shackles of chasing after bonuses, and they no longer cared about this as much.

It should be okay if the expenditure of the department was used to cover some of the medical fees owed if the patient truly had problems paying. With the current surgery volume of Ling Ran and Ling Ran's treatment group, no one in the Emergency Medical Center could say anything.

Of course, Ling Ran would not care even if someone had different opinions.

”Have both of you performed subtotal gastrectomy before? Have you dealt with gastrointestinal stromal tumors before?” Ling Ran asked while walking.

”I had performed three cases,” Ren Qi replied.

”I have performed two cases and more than ten cases as an assistant.” Ye Sigong tried to recall his achievements.

Ling Ran nodded. ”Were they open surgeries?”

Ren Qi and Ye Sigong nodded together.

Open subtotal gastrectomy was a Level 2 surgery. In terms of the surgery level, this surgery was equivalent to a hemorrhoid surgery. It was not difficult, and the risk was relatively low. The patient would also suffer quite a lot… and this was also the same as a hemorrhoid surgery.

Laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy u was a Level 3 surgery, which meant that it was a little more difficult, and it was or it should be said the difficulty level was higher, and this was the dividing line separating tertiary Grade A hospitals and lower-ranked county hospitals.

”Take a look at the patient's condition first. If it's suitable, we'll do an open surgery.” Everyone had arrived at the ward when Ling Ran spoke.

Zuo Cidian took a few quick steps forward and pushed open the door to the room.

The voices in the room were mixed with the smell of disinfectant as they came crashing into their ears and noses.

”I do not want to take in any oxygen. Take it away. My stomach is in pain, not my throat.” The voice of a sturdy man could be heard as well.

”Dad, just breathe it in, since the hospital gave it to you. You're already in this condition, it would be more comfortable for him if you take in some oxygen…”

”It costs 1.50 RMB to take in oxygen for an hour. Why should I use it? With 1.50 RMB, I can buy a steamed bun.”

”The steamed bun in the district already costs 2 RMB. Where can you find a steamed bun that costs 1.50 RMB?”

”Don't buy it in your district. Go and buy from the alley at the back. It's 50 cents cheaper, understand? You need to learn how to survive…”
