Chapter 976: Straightforward

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wei Man held a suitcase and kept running. She only stopped to catch her breath when she saw the sign of the Emergency Medical Center ahead of her. She checked the time and thought, ‘Luckily, I’m not late.’

Since Yun Hua Hospital built the Emergency Medical Center, its requirements for the standards of emergency consultation had also increased. The requirement for doctors from other departments to arrive at the latest within ten minutes remained unchanged from the past, but now, a requirement for them to arrive within eight minutes had also been added to serve as the first borderline.

If a doctor could reach in eight minutes, good comments would be left in his or her record. Ten minutes was still considered normal, and anyone who took more than ten minutes to arrive would fail to meet the requirement. When this procedure was implemented, most of the doctors could reach within eight minutes, thus the borderline of eight minutes had now become the maximum amount of time allowed for doctors to arrive.

No department director would want their record to be worse than the record of others.

However, when the doctors in each department truly had to implement it, the pressure on them inevitably increased largely because the acceptable amount of time they had to reach the Emergency Department had been reduced by two minutes. This meant that once the doctors received the call, they needed to rush over to the Emergency Medical Center, and they needed to deal with all the obstacles they met on the way quickly.

Wei Man was the attending physician on duty in the Department of Urology today. She had to explain the situation to the family member of a patient with kidney stones, which was why she was in a bit of a hurry. As the lift was not efficient, she ran over using the stairs.

Ma Yanlin knew that his wife was the person on duty in the Department of Urology today. He felt sorry for his wife and waited for her outside. He immediately waved at her when he saw her.

“I’m not late, right?” Wei Man was still quite serious when she was working. She spoke in a business-like tone when she saw Ma Yanlin.

“No,” Ma Yanlin quickly replied and lowered his voice to say, “A boiler in the industrial park exploded. There are six seriously wounded patients being sent over now, and there should still be some other patients as well.”

Wei Man nodded slowly and looked at Ling Ran, who was in the frontmost row. She subconsciously said, “Thankfully, Doctor Ling is on duty today.”

“I know, right?” Ma Yanlin immediately replied and spoke out of concern for her again, “Are you the only one from your department? The third-string doctors were informed, right?”

“They were definitely informed. Associate Chief Physician Guo will come over soon,” Wei Man said in a flirtatious tone and rolled her eyes at Ma Yanlin. “You’re just a young resident doctor, and you dare butt into the affairs of other attending physicians?” she asked.

Ma Yanlin felt warmth fill his heart. “I’m not young, okay?”

Wei Man felt her whole body heat up with how Ma Yanlin looked at her, and she walked closer to him before she whispered, “I have fewer lessons this week. I can skip one of the lessons and stay at home. You should take a day off work too.”

Ma Yanlin was attracted by how passionate this young lady from Peking Union Medical College Hospital was, and he forgot about the fear of being dominated by her for a period of time. He nodded and hesitantly said, “It’s quite hard to take leave from Doctor Ling’s side.”

“I understand that Doctor Ling doesn’t talk much. Just tell him that you’re taking leave to accompany me.” Wei Man stopped talking for a while before she said, “Today’s accident is a major one. You’re going to be working around the clock for this one, I think. Isn’t it reasonable to take a day off after this is over?”

“Okay… I’ll ask Doctor Zuo about the working schedule first.” Ma Yanlin was a bit excited, nervous, and relieved. If he had to work for one day and one night, it would no longer be a difficult thing for him to be forced to take some medication.

Wei Man wore a satisfied smile and thought, ‘Since my husband’s worked for a whole day, he won’t feel so embarrassed if I give him some medication.’

When Wei Man thought about what would happen after Ma Yanlin took his medication, she felt her entire body go numb.

“Doctor Wei.” A resident doctor from the Department of Urology ran over and gasped for breath. He was late because he had been held back by a patient, so he could only let a second-string attending physician go over there first. However, he still felt bad about it.

“Go and change your attire first. Today’s workload is definitely going to be heavy.” Wei Man’s expression was more serious when she was dealing with junior doctors.

The resident doctor nodded and stared at Ma Yanlin. “I heard that there are a few seriously wounded patients?” he asked.

“Yes,” Ma Yanlin explained the situation again, and after he finished, he said, “This is just the beginning. We still don’t know the situation after this. All of you should make more preparations. Doctor Ling has asked doctors from many departments to come over.”

Wei Man nodded seriously and added, “Based on the current situation, it’s unavoidable that we’ll encounter penile fractures, ureter ruptures, and kidney contusions. Now, go and inform the department to prepare the instrument and consumables. It’s not surprising to have two or three penile fractures in a boiler explosion…”

“Yes…” The resident doctor pushed his thighs together and went to make the call.

Ma Yanlin also pushed his thighs together and found himself 120% in work mode.

……

All the doctors who joined the emergency consultation were in high spirits and were 120% careful.

Firstly, the boiler explosion could turn into a much more serious accident. Even if it did not, it was still no laughing matter. Regardless of which level it was at, it had to be reported to the State Council. There was no need to even think. In the next two hours, the leaders of Yun Hua City and Changxi Province would come over after one another like a wave. If they were not careful right now, it meant that the doctors were not harsh enough with themselves, and the doctors would not be able to handle their conscience gnawing at them too.

Secondly, this was an emergency consultation issued by Ling Ran.

The doctors from Yun Hua Hospital still felt a little terrified when they needed to deal with Ling Ran.

It was because Ling Ran was not an easygoing doctor who would make an exception for someone. Most importantly, Ling Ran had invaded too many departments.

From the Hand Surgery Department to the Orthopedics Department, then the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, followed by the General Surgery Department, and now, the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery…

The other departments, which had not been invaded did not know whether Ling Ran already had the ability to invade their departments. No matter what, the doctors all saw and knew that once Ling Ran invaded a department, his surgery skills in that field would be at a high level. No one knew how much time he spent training secretly.

Such doctors were not uncommon in the hospital.

Since ancient times, famous doctors were like outstanding students who studied secretly in the dark. Hence, many academicians and specialists would usually remain quiet, and when they decided to take action, they would achieve the highest level in the field. They would still remain at the top even if they dealt with new and advanced skills.

None of the famous doctors would reveal their learning methods so that others would look at their failures to be amused.

If anyone looked at the resumes and the publicity materials of famous doctors, they would usually be things such as “Completed XXX surgery cases without any mistakes.” If people asked how they achieved that, they would usually mention that they relied on some kind of organization for their success, and they would also say they had a solid foundation.

The doctors in Yun Hua Hospital had no idea what Ling Ran had learned and what level he was at when it came to those skills he was learning. That aside, no one currently wanted to be called out by Ling Ran.

Therefore, many departments sent out their third-string doctors.

In a normal emergency consultation, it would be sufficient to send out first-string doctors from each department. However, when they ran into a major accident, attending physicians would attend the consultation to ensure the surgery scope was within the normal range of their abilities.

However, the number of third-string doctors who attended today far surpassed the normal number that would be there for a consultation.

Zuo Cidian felt proud when he stood beside Ling Ran. As more people came over, he took a step forward and whispered, “Doctor Ling, I see that some doctors haven’t had their meals. Why don’t I ask the cafeteria to prepare some food?”

“Do we have time to have our meals?” Ling Ran looked at Zuo Cidian strangely.

“Not everyone can stand next to the operating table, right?” Zuo Cidian smiled. “I’ll get someone to prepare some cold food. If they can’t prepare it, we can ask some restaurants to send food over. Then anyone can just eat whenever they want to.”

“Hmm, okay then,” Ling Ran agreed after he thought about it.

Even if someone got blown up into pieces, there were still some procedures to be followed whether it was preoperative procedures or postoperative procedures. The doctors could not just rush forward and perform the surgery. Furthermore, there were a limited number of operating theaters, and the area around the operating table was also limited. Hence, they would not be so busy that everyone would not have time to eat.

Zuo Cidian obeyed Ling Ran’s instructions and went away. This meant that he naturally left the role of a first-string doctor so that he would not become a hindrance to Ling Ran’s treatment group.

“Thirty seconds.” The reception nurse raised her voice to inform everyone.

Ling Ran nodded and turned around slightly. He said, “The General Surgery Department will take care of the first two patients in the first ambulance. Perform exploratory laparotomy and communicate with us in time if any problems occur. Remember to update the medical record. Zhang Anmin, you will take care of the male patient in the second ambulance. Again, let us know in time if there is any problem. The female patient is experiencing circulatory failure. Let the Emergency Department perform resuscitation on her first. Doctor Zhou, can you take care of that?”

“Alright,” Doctor Zhou immediately agreed to it. He did not hesitate in obeying orders just because he was considered a senior in rank to Ling Ran in the Emergency Department.

He saw it with his own eyes. Ling Ran had delegated tasks to the General Surgery Department as well as the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery without even asking them about anything.

From Doctor Zhou’s perspective, if Ling Ran could even ask them any questions, that would be him showing his respect.

Ling Ran continued to delegate tasks, and during this period of time, he tried his best to understand the conditions of the patients in the ambulances. Of course, when the patients reached the hospital, he would proceed to check them once more, and if there was any misjudgment, he could still change his orders at the very last minute.

“Third ambulance…

“Fourth ambulance…”

Ling Ran made arrangements for the patients one after another. He did not bother about the preference of each department or the level of the doctors from each department.

Zuo Cidian was worried at first, but later, he had his questions answered.

After all, the ones who attended were obedient. Since the patients’ treatment was their focus, straightforward orders would be more acceptable and easily understood by every doctor.
