*Thud thud thud thud*
At five in the morning, uniformed steps could be heard from the corridor of the Emergency Medical Center.
The patients and their family members who had already stayed in the hospital for a few days peeped around and started to rouse themselves.
Fifty-five-year-old Jin Manfen was shaken awake by his wife as well. He wiped his face as his mind remained muddled with sleep, and he heard the familiar complaints around him.
“Look at you, you just keep sleeping on and on. Didn’t our niece tell you to prepare the questions so that when Doctor Ling comes for his ward round later, you’ll be able to ask a few more questions than others?”
“Those who have a lot of free time in their hands will sleep like logs. Aren’t you embarrassed with yourself?”
“Open your eyes wider. Stop looking like you’ve worked overtime yesterday. You slept for the whole day yesterday.”
Jin Manfen was nagged by his wife and said helplessly, “It’s because I had my surgery yesterday that I slept for a day.”
“Who in the hospital has not undergone surgery? No one sleeps like you. I stayed awake for the whole night, and you did not even chat with me or do anything…” Jin Manfen’s wife stared at his wound, and she was very worried.
Jin Manfen said in resignation, “So, should I talk to you, or should I prepare questions?”
“Shut up. You’re using such things as excuses again.” After Jin Manfen’s wife saw him waking up, she sat aside and played with her phone. She said, “Doctor Ling only goes for ward rounds once every few days. If you have any questions, you must ask and make sure everything is answered in one go. Also, remember to check when you can be discharged. If you are discharged earlier, you will never see Doctor Ling again.”
“How are you sure it’ll be Doctor Ling?” Jin Manfen fought back a little.
“Your eldest niece said that. Only Doctor Ling produces such great momentum in the Emergency Medical Center when he comes
out.”
“Okay,” Jin Manfen replied, and he did not try to retort. If the doctor was not great, he would not look for him as well.
After some time, a doctor wearing a white coat came in and informed them, “Doctor Ling is here for a ward round, please wake up the patients.”
“He’s already awake.” Jin Manfen immediately went and greeted the doctor.
Zuo Cidian nodded with a serious expression, then he saw Ling Ran enter the hospital ward.
“How do you feel?” Ling Ran was holding a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer and spread the sanitizer on both of his hands.
Jin Manfen immediately said, “The wound is hurting me a little, and my stomach is growling…”
“I’ll help you perform a physical examination.” Ling Ran went forward and went straight with a physical examination.
He now had Master Level Physical Examination. He could obtain a lot of information through physical information, and most of the time, he could detect problems patients did not even realize themselves.
Jin Manfen immediately showed his belly, and he looked like a sea lion that was lying down on its back. He chuckled and said, “I see nothing in the drainage tube, is it okay now?”
“The recovery is looking good.” Ling Ran nodded slightly and looked at Jin Manfen before he asked a few questions. He then stood up and said, “If you’re willing to, you can be discharged tomorrow.”
Jin Manfen was very happy. “Can I really recover within two and a half days?”
“You still have a long time till full recovery.” Zuo Cidian reminded him and said, “Doctor Ling allows you to be discharged because he thinks that you do not need to be further observed. But if you still feel discomfort, you must come back immediately for treatment. Otherwise, you can just take your medicine normally and rest at home.”
“I’m allowed to work, right? I saw that the people in my daughter’s company had started to work.” Jin Manfen was a bit excited.
Ling Ran hesitated and said, “Unless you have something urgent to do, or else, it’s better to
rest.”
“Okay, okay.” Jin Manfen smiled and used his hands to tidy up his white hair. “I’m just asking. I’m now retired, so I don’t have to work.”
The doctors on the spot rolled their eyes and felt as if they were teased.
Ling Ran nodded and continued to perform physical examination for the patients at the next beds. He took out a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer and saw two Zhonghua cigarettes in the bedside cabinet near to Jin Manfen.
“Smoking is prohibited in the hospital.” Ling Ran looked very serious. He started his career path with finger replantation, so he cared about smoking very much.
After a person finished with cholecystectomy, although smoking was not strictly prohibited, since they went through general anesthesia, abstaining from smoking would still be a better choice.
The family members looked guilty when they saw Ling Ran’s expression. They quickly said, “It’s not for him to smoke. They were given by his friends.”
All doctors looked at the family members together.
“Your logic is flawed. How could they understand if you say it this way?” Jin Manfen waved his hands and said, “The cigarettes are given by my friends, but they are not for me.”
“They give cigarettes when they visit the patient?” Lu Wenbin frowned.
“There are always some crazy friends.” When Jin Manfen said that, the doctors agreed and nodded.
“Rest well.” Ling Ran nodded again and did not go to the next bed.
At the same time, a message from the system popped out.
[Mission: The Way Forward (Completed)]
[Mission Details: Complete 50 abdominal surgeries where the patients’ recovery time is less than 60 hours.]
(Reward: Intermediate Treasure Chest]
An Intermediate Treasure Chest was placed in front of Ling Ran. It shone brightly, as though it were covered by expensive makeup.
In Ling Ran’s mind, the conclusion he got was that Jin Manfen had recovered completely.
Because the fifty abdominal surgeries included Jin Manfen as well. If he could complete the mission, it meant that his recovery time was less than sixty hours.
“Your body is good.” Ling Ran turned around and praised Jin Manfen.
“Really?” Jin Manfen looked excited and started to boast about himself, “At that time, I was very fit. I could just carry the computer and move around wherever I want. My tendons were so strong that I could play basketball or even punch the people from two faculty of arts!”
His wife did not object but said airily, “At that time, you were really fit.”
…..
Ten minutes later, Ling Ran walked out of the ward and hesitated for five seconds and opened two Intermediate Treasure Chests.
One of the Intermediate Treasure Chests was obtained during the Treat the Wounded and Sick mission in Brazil. Due to the bad medical conditions in Brazil, Ling Ran remembered it clearly, so much so that when Ling Ran completed his mission, he wanted to earn a few more Intermediate Treasure Chests before he opened them.
However, the speed in which he obtained Basic Treasure Chests now was still okay. However, it was not that easy to obtain Intermediate Treasure Chests. He wanted to earn more, but he had no idea how long it would take before the next mission came.
On the other hand, Ling Ran had used his ‘Virtual Human’ very often in order to cover his lack of skill in cholecystectomy, and it was now the time to fill in more time for the Virtual Human.
Two Intermediate Treasure Chests and 287 Basic Treasure Chests were opened all together, and the rewards occupied the entire corridor.
Among the Energy Serums and a few anatomical dissection experience, Ling Ran saw a four-hour Virtual Human and a shining skill book.
Certainly, the Energy Serums were shining as well, but it was not obvious, as it was just like a handsome man standing among a group of handsome men.
[Choledochoduodenostomy of the common bile duct (Perfect Level)].
A row of words was clearly seen on the title page of the skill book.
