In the General Surgery Department, Chief Physician Dan Quan scolded everyone while performing surgery, and he felt quite at ease.
As a chief physician who was about the same age as He Yuanzheng, but was a chief physician who was extremely far from the throne of a department director, Dan Quan was very much at ease in the operating theater. In the words of Chinese storytellers, he was a feudal lord who only obeyed orders and did not bother about currying favor to others or having others currying favor to him.
Of course, the influence of the General Surgery Department’s director was still very large, but the person up there had to retire in the end, and it was impossible for him to sit in the position of a General Surgery Department Director all his life. Hence, he would need, to a certain extent, delegate some power to each treatment group’s leader.
After all, a doctor was still a technical position, hence the management style had to also lean more toward the technical aspect of things. It was the same way Dan Quan would also give some respect to the associate chief physicians and attending physicians under him as well as delegate power to them.
However, it would not be necessary to give resident doctors similar treatment, because what they did was just manual labor.
*Shick*
The operating theater door slid open.
Dan Quan moved his facial muscles, raised his head, and was prepared to release some harsh words to set the atmosphere.
However, what Dan Quan saw was the handsome Ling Ran wearing goggles and a mouth face mask.
So when the harsh words came to his mouth, he did not spit them out.
“What brings Doctor Ling to the operating theater of the General Surgery Department?” Dan Quan took the initiative to greet him. After all, no one lost anything by speaking politely, so why should they not speak pleasant words to each other in a cordial fashion every day?
Ling Ran showed a vibrant smile to the large number of medical staff in the operating theater, and he said, “I want to learn single-site laparoscopy.”
Dan Quan was stunned for a while before he chuckled. Then, he spoke in neither a harsh nor soft tone, “It’s unlikely that you would have the heart to learn such a technique. If it’s single-site laparoscopy, you can go to our department director instead. If I remember correctly, he published several related papers a few years ago.”
Ling Ran shook his head. “I have consulted a few doctors, and all of them said that your single-site laparoscopy is the best in Yun Hua Hospital.”
A wave of heat suddenly rushed to Dan Quan’s head.
Dan Quan subconsciously wanted to be humble, but when he looked at Ling Ran, he did not say it.
Ling Ran gave Dan Quan the impression that he was the kind of blunt and honest newbie in society who did not know how not to be too straight-forward when speaking, and he would always make it hard for people to get out awkward situations.
If he were not supported and not as handsome, Dan Quan felt that a doctor like Ling Ran would sooner or later suffer a big loss.
Nevertheless, due to that, Ling Ran’s praise was incredibly sincere and rare.
In fact, Dan Quan had not heard anyone being praised by Ling Ran as “the best of Yun Hua Hospital” before.
Dan Quan’s body trembled a little, and he was still feeling warm.
“Single-site laparoscopy, huh…?” Dan Quan said with a drawl but was not willing to be modest and decline Ling Ran’s praise.
Ling Ran nodded with certainty and said, “Yes, single-site laparoscopy. May I observe you while you perform the surgery?”
At that point, Dan Quan was performing a single-site laparoscopy, and he could not help but nod.
Ling Ran then stood on the side of the operating table but remained slightly further away. He mainly watched the operation on the screen and Dan Quan’s movements.
Dan Quan’s body tensed up subconsciously.
He was not the only one. The young doctor who was helping Dan Quan and several medical staff around him were practically oozing anxiety.
They felt like they were being checked by a leader.
Ling Ran put his hands behind his back to avoid accidentally contaminating the surgical area.
In the eyes of others, Ling Ran’s move was incredibly stylish.
“Doctor Ling is so handsome …”
“So handsome …”
“Handsome …”
The circulating nurses and anesthetist did not have to perform the surgery, and they made heart shapes with both of their hands. They felt that life in the operating theater was extremely blissful.
Ling Ran ignored everyone else and continued to stare at Dan Quan’s operation.
His stare made Dan Quan a little flustered.
“Ling Ran, when did you become interested in learning single-site laparoscopy?” Dan Quan took the initiative to start a conversation.
“When performing surgery to treat cholecystitis,” Ling Ran answered.
Dan Quan froze for a while before understanding what Ling Ran meant, and he broke into laughter.
“You rarely watch other doctors’ surgery, right?” The doctor opposite Dan Quan also tried to start a topic. Since a big boss was there to watch the operation, he could not crack dirty jokes, so he could only gossip about people.
Ling Ran gave a soft hum in acknowledgment.
“Chief Physician Dan’s single-site laparoscopy is indeed one of the best.” The doctor opposite took the opportunity to butter up Chief Physician Dan.
Dan Quan coughed. “I can’t be regarded as the best. Definitely not, definitely not.”
“Why not? Doctor Ling said it himself, Chief Physician Dan’s single-site laparoscopy is the best in Yun Hua Hospital.”
Dan Quan’s mouth broke into a smile as if the ground was excavated and spring water started pouring out. “Don’t say those words outside this room. It’s just a coincidence that I chose to perform single-site laparoscopy.”
“You are too humble.”
“We’re in the field of general surgery, and it’s not easy to create something new. Single-site laparoscopy was something incredibly hot in the General Surgery Department when I was an associate chief physician.” Dan Quan recalled wistfully.
The General Surgery Department was the most basic department, and therefore, there were many doctors who stayed in the department. There were in fact not many technical routes that Dan Quan could take. Single-site laparoscopy could only be regarded as a relatively smaller side branch of the general surgery field.
Dan Quan and his young doctor worked together to sing praises about Dan Quan in Ling Ran’s face, and they felt incredibly good about themselves.
Ling Ran did not care much. When he was the chief surgeon, he allowed the young doctors beneath him to chat by themselves, and now, since he was just watching others perform surgery, chatting mattered even less to him.
*Shick*
The operating theater door opened again, and two doctors came in. They exuded a sense that they were on the verge of collapsing from all the learning they had to do.
“Chief Physician Dan…”
“Chief Physician Dan, you’re performing surgery, huh?”
The two doctors greeted obediently. As they approached the operating table, they immediately stopped.
“Doctor Ling?” The two doctors were surprised.
Ling Ran slowly nodded. “Good afternoon.”
“Good afternoon, Doctor Ling.” The two young doctors were both resident doctors. Whenever they saw a doctor who was of a certain level in the hospital, they must greet that doctor obediently.
However, the moment they saw Ling Ran, the two young doctors stood at full attention.
“Doctor Ling came just to watch Chief Physician Dan’s single-site laparoscopy,” the General Surgery Department doctors purposely said out loud to update the doctors, who came in later, on what was going on.
It would be a pity not to use Ling Ran as publicity when he existed as such good advertising material.
After he finished speaking, the General Surgery Department’s doctor cast a tentative glance at Ling Ran.
Just as he expected, Ling Ran did not get angry.
It was only then that the General Surgery Department’s doctor secretly let out a sigh of relief. He did not dare to say anything else and quietly shut up.
Ling Ran still remained silent.
He focused on the details of Dan Quan’s surgery. According to Ling Ran’s estimation, Dan Quan’s single-site laparoscopy skills were at Master Level. At this level, the way he presented the details of the surgery were very important.
Ling Ran himself lacked skill in performing the maneuvers for these details during the surgery. At that moment, he was very attentive when he watched the surgery.
Dan Quan himself was inevitably affected by Ling Ran.
He also became more and more serious when performing the surgery.
Although it was not an international conference-style demonstration surgery, when he thought about how Yun Hua Hospital’s popular idol was watching his surgery, Dan Quan naturally had to be extra serious.
Gradually, Dan Quan stopped talking, and his assistants stopped talking, and the onlookers were afraid to speak.
The General Surgery Department’s operating theater became the operating theater Ling Ran favored and was familiar with.
