Chapter 896: Is There Any Way That I Can Be of Help?
There were many adorable aspects to hospitals such as the young female nurses, young female caregivers, and young female doctors…
If a person had nothing to do and was merely walking around in a hospital, the landscape of the hospital would usually appear quite beautiful. Moreover, ambulances actually looked pretty adorable.
However, very few people went to hospitals because of that.
Compared with the bloodiness, the adorable aspects of hospitals were nothing.
That was especially true when it came to burn victims.
The atmosphere in the emergency room immediately became ice-cold the moment two burn patients were sent in. It was as if someone suddenly filled the main hall of a temple with ice on a scorching hot day. More than one person reached out to scratch their heads.
Ling Ran’s mood was also a little affected.
Within the field of clinical medicine, burns had always been what Huo Congjun majored in, and he also had the intention of passing the craft to Ling Ran. However, compared to ordinary surgeries, burns were closer to internal medicine. Aside from that, whether a person was to look at it from an aesthetic point of view or in terms of the treatment process, the treatment of burns was far from “orderly”.
For burn patients, there were way too many variables.
The two patients entered via the reception door and appeared before everyone for around ten seconds. They were then wheeled into a room that was specifically built for the treatment of burns. Huo Congjun and the associate chief physician under him, as well as a group of attending physicians and resident doctors, were there. As the biggest treatment group in the Emergency Medical Center, at most, they were capable of treating twenty patients with minor burns or four patients with serious burns at once.
“Focus on your own tasks.” When Ling Ran noticed that his surroundings had gone from being full of flurry and chaos to sheer panic, he immediately furrowed his eyebrows.
Even though everyone’s attention was diverted by the burn patients, Ling Ran’s presence was tremendously strong. Whenever he was unhappy, even if he only furrowed his eyebrows a little, everyone could sense it immediately.
Ling Ran did not need to say anything. Some experienced nurses dispersed the crowd of resident doctors who were watching the burn patients like she was chasing away a crowd of young monks.
“Stop looking and carry on with your own tasks.”
“Why are you watching? Haven’t you seen burn patients before?”
“If you want to help out with the burn patients, you can stay for a night shift. We’ll reward you with some fruits.”
Some of the patients’ family members in the emergency room also took the initiative to ask their family members to disperse.
In Chinese hospitals, it was unavoidable that patients’ family members had to carry out a lot of extra and irrelevant tasks. And because of this, the hospitals got to save on manpower. But this resulted in extra chaos.
Meanwhile, in the wards, the longer a patient stayed in the hospital, the more familiar his family members were with the hospital. It was to the point that they would even see life in the hospital as part of their life, just like how patients had no choice but to see their illnesses as part of their body. It was not a pleasing choice, because there were no other options for them.
There were always regular patients and their family members in the emergency room. Nowadays, it was harder to get a hospital bed in a tertiary Grade A hospital compared to f*cking an internet celebrity, and it was more expensive too.
Comparatively, it was much easier to obtain a hospital bed in the emergency room. At least, patients who were ill but not in a critical condition could just call an ambulance and be sent to the emergency room.
This was what many regular patients often did.
And today, the hospital beds in the emergency room were more scarce than usual. A few resident doctors furrowed their eyebrows as they tried to persuade a few patients whose conditions were not too serious to leave. They also transferred even more patients to other departments so that those departments could worry about those patients.
At a time like this, departments that were not usually willing to take in regular patients had no choice but to put on a nice facade and take in a patient or two. Hence, the emergency room was able to free up some space.
For that purpose, Zuo Cidian talked so much that his tongue became thinner.
At that moment, however, Huo Congjun did not emerge again. He was fully focused on the two burn patients whom they had just taken in. Aside from making sure that their vitals were fine, the doctors also had to monitor their amount of urine and fluid transfused as well as prevent infection. It was an extremely complicated task.
Ling Ran, who was in the emergency room, was getting into the zone.
After experiencing the flood in Brazil and the mudflow in Bazhaixiang, Ling Ran was very used to handling such calamities, to begin with. If there was something that he was not used to, it would be the fact that problems would always arise in terms of cooperation with other doctors.
Not only were the chief physicians and associate chief physicians who were leaders of treatment groups not used to Ling Ran’s leadership style, but attending physicians like Zhao Leyi were also not very willing to take orders from Ling Ran.
When faced with this situation, Ling Ran solved the problem by… doing it himself.
He did not even put the fact that there would be doctors who were unwilling to take orders from him into consideration. It was just like how the doctors in the Emergency Medical Center never expected Ling Ran to possess such a great number of skills.
When it came to general surgeries, Ling Ran could deal with anything between the stomach and the an*s. As for orthopedics surgeries, he could handle anything from the fingers to the elbow and from the toes to the knee. He also knew all kinds of skills that could help a patient retain his or her life. It could be said that Ling Ran was a lot more adept at treating patients with those ailments compared to other doctors. As for patients who were not within that scope, ordinary emergency medical specialists were not capable of dealing with them either.
Ling Ran treated patients from one end of the emergency room to the other. He then repeated the process.
Those who were willing to take orders from Ling Ran did things according to Ling Ran’s arrangements, while those who refused to do so naturally had their position as chief surgeon snatched away.
Even the only chief physician present, Chief Physician Tao, listened to Ling Ran’s orders. He followed a patient on a gurney into an operating theater and did not emerge after that.
“Wow, is he Superman?” Zuo Cidian had just returned from the inpatient building, and he saw Ling Ran treating patients one by one at lightning speed.
As the doctor who was the best at administration in Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center, Zuo Cidian naturally did not think that what Ling Ran was doing was the best choice. However, it was an extremely pleasing sight.
“Ling Ran truly lives up to his reputation of being skillful.” Dean Wu did not leave the emergency room. He was standing beside Wang Chuangwen and peering at Ling Ran from afar with a look of admiration on his face. “He’s blessed by God indeed.”
Zuo Cidian chuckled a few times and tried to downplay Ling Ran’s achievements so that he could make Ling Ran sound humble. “That’s what Doctor Ling is like. He doesn’t mind offending people if he has set his mind to something.”
“With such skills, he doesn’t need to worry about offending anyone in the Emergency Department.” Dean Wu laughed and said half-jokingly, “If it weren’t for the fact that Old Huo is too fierce, I would have asked Ling Ran to head to Yun Hua University and offend people.”
“Never say this in front of Department Director Huo.” Zuo Cidian’s shoulders tensed up a little without him realizing. When he saw Wang Chuanwen, who was standing beside Dean Wu, he decided to put his social skills to use. “You told me earlier that your three younger brothers will be here soon, right? I’m afraid that Doctor Ling might be too busy to attend to them. If you need stuff such as information, you can ask me about it.”
“There’s no rush. As for you, is there any way that I can be of help?” Wang Chuanwen also put his great social skills to use.
Zuo Cidian froze for a moment. “What do you mean by that?”
“We plan to make some donations and start a few charity projects in Changxi Province. You guys… I mean, what does Doctor Ling need the most right now?” Wang Chuanwen’s gaze followed Ling Ran’s blue scrubs.
Most of the doctors in the emergency room were clad in large white coats, and Ling Ran’s blue scrubs were especially jarring amid the sea of large white coats. In addition, Wang Chuanwen was giving his silent approval to Ling Ran’s efficiency and style of getting things done.
