When Tian Guozheng was brought onto the operating table, the smell of the roasted Big Zebu’s large rump meat was still at the tip of his nose.
Tian Guozheng could not help but let out a huge sigh. “Oh, my Big Zebu.”
“The Big Zebu has already been fully distributed.” The butler also took a bath and came in wearing a scrub. Before entering, he also put a coin in for his scrubs.
Tian Guozheng bemoaned again, “Big Zebu is so fat, and it has been fully distributed? Didn’t I ask to have some kept?”
“There is still one tenderloin. The head chef is hanging it up to air dry,” the butler sincerely said, “What the head chef meant by that is for the pork tenderloin to ripen, it is better to wait for a while …”
“After it ripens, we’ll get to eat steak?”
“Yes.”
“If I wanted to eat steak, I could buy it myself.” Tian Guozheng was so upset that he wanted to sit up on the operating table. “Our cattle are well-known for being fresh. Steaks can be eaten after the meat is kept for months. How can that be compared with the value of a Big Zebu? Sigh, behaving and knowing how to act in certain situations is the same as being a chef. You have to make your ingredients bring out their full value, right? If the employees’ value is not shown, the employees will leave. If the beef cannot show its worth… and if the Big Zebu knows about it in its afterlife… ”
“I will ask the chef to put away the tenderloin. We’ll marinate it now and wait for you to be discharged. It will be just ready to eat by then.” The butler could understand Tian Guozheng’s thoughts quite accurately.
Tian Guozheng agreed, nodded, and said, “It’s not that I want to eat meat after I get discharged from the hospital. I have such a large ranch, can I not eat meat? It is mainly a question of the value system and value realization…”
“Do you want it to be grilled directly? How do you want the sauce to be made?” The butler interrupted Tian Guozheng’s internal analysis again.
Tian Guozheng sighed and said, “Do as you see fit. Put more garlic. Garlic is very special. The smell of garlic is really fragrant …”
The steward nodded. “Alright. Then I’ll rush back to inform the kitchen staff.”
“Hurry up, call first. Don’t ruin it under the sun.” Tian Guozheng waved his hand as he watched the butler leave the operating theater.
*Shick*
When the door was closed, Ling Ran motioned to the anesthetist to administer anesthesia.
Tian Guozheng’s eyes were watery and round as he forced himself not to speak.
He knew in his mind that the doctor would not be able to do anything to him no matter how he tossed and turned before the operation began. As the surgery began, if he were to toss and turn and the doctor made a mistake, the doctor would not be able to cure him anymore.
There was no need to say any words of intimidation or bribery. If intimidation and bribery were useful, the parents of the highest-ranking students in the national college examinations would have abused it to the max.
Ling Ran was somewhat surprised that Tian Guozheng was quiet. However, it was also a good thing that Tian Guozheng was able to calm down. Ling Ran would rather not say a word and reached for the instruments.
He had performed three knee arthroplasties yesterday, and he then considered himself to be relatively familiar with the anesthetist and nurses at Guozheng Charity Hospital.
Surgery such as knee arthroscopies did not require many maneuvers. The procedure was really simple. If it was described as a piano piece, the starting fare of hepatectomy was a piano concerto. Knee arthroscopy was almost equivalent to “Für Elise”. Piano players with good skills could play it beautifully. Pianists with poor skills could also play it albeit stumbling about with it.
In fact, many novice orthopedists do various types of poking around when performing arthroscopy, so some additional injuries were also caused. The degree of how ugly the operation could be was the same as how unpleasant the playing of novice piano players could be.
Of course, with the roughness of a knee joint, most of the time, it will not be damaged no matter how much time it was poked.
Ling Ran looked at the screen next to the operating table and slowly injected the saline solution to check the condition in the cavity.
At this time, Tian Guozheng coughed and said, “Can you tilt the screen a little bit so that I can see it too?”
Time seemed to have stopped for a second in the operating theater.
Ma Yanlin looked at Tian Guozheng with admiration. Although he had seen and especially heard of many strange patients, Ma Yanlin had never heard of such a strange request until today.
Yu Yuan, whose legs were on the stepping stool, was also full of emotion, and thought, ‘The rich are just different. They are really daring in making their requests. I can’t even see the screen when I step on the stool, and I wouldn’t dare to ask Ling Ran to move the screen.’
Ling Ran’s expression was as calm as usual, but he also looked at Tian Guozheng and said, “No.”
“Oh, I don’t need to see it very clearly, just shift it a little bit and let me see what’s going on.” Tian Guozheng’s eyes were directed to Department Director Li again.
Department Director Li, who was watching by the side, did not expect that he would have a part in this drama at this moment in the drama. He sighed helplessly and said, “Mister Tian, after turning the screen, it will be out of the doctor’s habitual position, which will affect the doctor’s operation.”
“Oh, oh, then it’s okay.” Tian Guozheng was lying on the operating table in a lithotomy position at the moment. His tone was not so stiff, and he did not dare to affect the doctors’ operation anymore.
Department Director Li nodded, made his tone sound even more cordial, and smiled, “Actually, it doesn’t make much sense to look at the screen. The screen just shows the situation inside the knee joint, which is quite confusing. You don’t have experience in this area, neither do you understand the anatomy of the knee joint. It doesn’t really matter if you watch. ”
“I’m just worrying about in the dark.” Tian Guozheng laughed and tried his luck. “If not, we could add another screen. Just place it in front of me. You guys can look at your screen, and I can look at mine …”
The operating theater was quiet for another two seconds.
Ma Yanlin looked at Tian Guozheng with an admiring expression. Although there were many weird patients according to hospital legends, it was really rare to come across such a weird patient like Tian Guozheng.
Perhaps it was because many weird patients were not rich enough. Ma Yanlin could not help but think about the state when all patients did not need to worry about money, and he could not help but shudder.
“Mister Tian, it’ll take too long to set up another screen, it’s too late.” Department Director Li was emotionally exhausted.
“It’s enough to call me Guozheng or Mister Guozheng. Mister Tian is my father.” Tian Guozheng had spread his legs open and was lying on his back as he sighed and said, “It’s really inhumane for the hospital to do such a thing. At least place a screen above the head. If you, doctors don’t dare to let the patients watch the operation, you could play a movie for us to watch, that’d be nice… ”
Ma Yanlin suddenly understood why Ling Ran tended to have his patients undergo general anesthesia or to put the patient to sleep after regional anesthesia. With Ling Ran’s social attitude, the patients who were a little bit more unreasonable were probably like Tian Guozheng to him.
Ma Yanlin looked at Ling Ran sympathetically.
Ling Ran, however, was performing the operation without any slight inconvenience and was seemingly unperturbed.
Ma Yanlin whispered to Yu Yuan, “It is unexpected that Doctor Ling is not bothered by the noise.”
“For him, it’s all almost the same,” Yu Yuan answered calmly.
“Yes, I guess we could take it that way.” Ma Yanlin was dumbfounded.
At this time, Wallace’s disciple, Brandon, came up and whispered in English, “I can record the surgery into a video and then transfer it to another phone for you to watch.”
As a rising Youtube uploader, Brandon had long wanted to take a video of the surgery.
Department Director Li looked at Wallace with a troubled look and said, “Mobile phones are prone to cause pollution and cannot be handed over to patients. It’s not suitable for him to record anything with a phone…”
“Then I won’t show it to the patient, or I’ll show him from a distance …” Brandon immediately revised the plan.
While talking, he took out his phone.
In the operating theater, it was very common for doctors to take pictures with their mobile phones, especially doctors who wanted to write a paper or accumulate cases, and they would even take surgical photographs all year round.
Department Director Li, as a doctor who was only here to watch, found it hard to stop him. While he was thinking, Brandon already excitedly said his lines, “Hello everyone, I am now in the hospital’s operating theater. The chief surgeon for the knee arthroscopic meniscoplasty is performed by a very capable Chinese doctor called Ling Ran…”
Brandon turned his lens to Ling Ran and tried to shoot everything.
