Patient Wang Chuanli was admitted to the ICU. His breathing was as deep as the breathing of an old cow. Luckily, his lungs were still functioning, and everyone was delighted about it.
At least, the family members were still calm and had treated all the medical staff at the Emergency Medical Center who were willing to join at Prosperous Fountain Restaurant.
Although not many went, the family members’ attitude was one of the best ever seen, and the repayment… There was no repayment. The patient was already at the ICU, and even if the nurse wanted to flip the patient around a few more times to clean him up, the cardiologist would not allow that to happen.
By noon, Dean Wu Junior and the patient’s family members came to Ling Ran’s office.
Huo Congjun, who received the news, did not keep himself idle either. He showed up in a relaxed manner.
“Hello, Dean Wu, what a coincidence!” Huo Congjun greeted with a smile.
Dean Wu knew him well too. He looked at him with the ghost of a smile and said, “Department Director Huo, aren’t you keeping a really close eye on Ling Ran? I just came over to say hello.”
“Aren’t I here to say hello too?” Huo Congjun’s face did not show any sense of embarrassment.
“You came over to the Emergency Department to greet me?” Dean Wu purposefully shook his head.
Huo Congjun still did not feel ashamed. He stared ahead like an old monk when he held a woman, and his back was straight. He said, “Since you came here, I must come over to greet you. By the way, Ling Ran is teaching at Yun Hua Hospital, right? Did it go smoothly?”
“Of course. All the students like Ling Ran.”
“That’s great.”
Dean Wu pursed his lips while listening to the insincere reply from Huo Congjun. Then, he introduced the person behind him. “I forgot to introduce this person to you. This is Wang Chuanwen, the brother of the critically injured patient saved by Ling Ran yesterday. He rushed over and had just arrived by plane.”
“Oh, Mister Wang Chuanwen, hello.” When Huo Congjun faced the patient’s family member, whom he was not familiar with, he was like an old monk who met a rich person. He stared ahead, and his back was as straight as a board.
“Department Director Huo, sorry to trouble you this time as well.” Wang Chuanwen was older than Huo Congjun. His gray hair made him look haggard.
“It’s a doctor’s duty to treat the patient,” Huo Congjun said cordially to the patient’s family and pushed open the office door. He shouted, “Ling Ran—”
If he did this, the patient’s family member and Dean Wu would be considered to have been brought in by Huo Congjun.
Dean Wu knew this, but did not care about it. He did not have the intention to poach Ling Ran to his university, and since Yun Hua Hospital was affiliated to Yun Hua University, what was the use of trying to poach Ling Ran?
Certainly, if Ling Ran were willing to work full time at the campus, Dean Wu would welcome him very much. However, current clinicians would rarely make such a choice, and hence, he did not expect anything from Ling Ran.
“Doctor Ling will be back soon.” Intern Qi Zao became a delicate flower when she saw that important guests had suddenly come in, and she immediately served drinks to them. She explained, “The surgery in the operating theater is still not completed yet. Today, there is a hepatectomy going on. The surgery had started when he received the news.”
“The surgery is more important. Try to ask Ling Ran how much longer we’ll need to wait.” Huo Congjun did not give Dean Wu a chance to speak.
Dean Wu then nodded. Wang Chuanwen, who was at the side, apologized and said, “I’m sorry. We thought of coming over earlier, but I heard that Doctor Ling enters the operating theater at two or three in the morning, and that’s too early for us. So, we decided to postpone the time.”
“Normally, surgeries will start around four or five in the morning. Surgeries at two or three in the morning are less common.” Huo Congjun corrected.
Wang Chuanwen looked at Huo Congjun like he was a monk. He smiled faintly, “Four to five in the morning is still too early.”
“That’s true, too,” Huo Congjun replied and continued, “You came here just to meet Doctor Ling?”
“Also, to express our gratitude,” Wang Chuanwen said.
There was nothing wrong with people who valued their lives meeting high-end doctors.
On top of that, Wang Chuanwen was truly thankful to Ling Ran.
“Mister Wang Chuanwen is here to invest in Yun Hua Hospital.” Dean Wu looked at Huo Congjun and said, “Also, Mister Wang Chuanwen’s family has donated Yun Hua University an audio-visual classroom which provides great aid for our teaching staff and students. So when they faced problems now, we hoped to try our best and help…”
“Oh,” Huo Congjun replied and seemed as if he finally understood the relationship of both parties.
Wang Chuanwen hesitated and said, “My other three brothers plan to come over today too. I came over first to handle the problems about accommodation. I wonder, how’s my younger brother…?”
“How about this? We can go to the ICU to take a look first. The doctors in the ICU will have a better understanding of the details.” Huo Congjun became more enthusiastic for the sake of Dean Wu and because he always had good feelings toward charitable people.
A group of people then headed to ICU and listened to the detailed explanation by the doctor in the ICU.
When Ling Ran came out of the operating theater, Huo Congjun had started to do some introductions to Wang Chuanwen at the emergency room.
The scenario at the ICU was not pleasant. Usually, family members were not willing to spend a long time looking at their relatives in the ICU.
In comparison, although shouts could be heard nonstop from the emergency room, it seemed livelier.
“Doctor Ling, you’re here.” Dean Wu Junior saw Ling Ran from afar and immediately asked him to come over because it was too depressing to follow Huo Congjun moving around.
Ling Ran went over while still dressed in blue scrubs. Behind him was Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin, who wore scrubs as well. The strong and imposing manner they gave off was still the best in the hospital.
“Doctor Ling, hello…” Wang Chuanwen put on a very humble front.
The doctors of the ICU did nothing else but praise Ling Ran.
If there were certain groups of doctors who saw death the most, then one of them would be the doctors from the ICU. However, if there was a group of doctors who saw dying patients the most, then the ICU doctors would definitely be at the top.
Since they had seen many dying patients, they had their own standards for judgment when it came to the patient’s condition and their prognosis.
And within Yun Hua Hospital, Ling Ran was recognized as the doctor who produced the best prognosis.
If the prognosis was good, the patient would have better recovery and have a high chance of leaving the ICU successfully. That was one of the reasons why the ICU liked Ling Ran so much.
As Wang Chuanli’s eldest brother, Wang Chuanwen wanted his brother to receive the best medical protection. That was his greatest wish.
Wang Chuanwen went forward and held Ling Ran’s hand. He shook Ling Ran’s hand vigorously before releasing it in front of everyone. After thanking him repeatedly, he said, “Doctor Ling, can you tell me what is the best way for my brother’s body to recover?
Huo Congjun, who was at the side, was stunned, but shrugged. He did not stop him.
The patient’s family always wanted the best suggestion, but usually, they had no ability to judge which suggestions were the best. At the end of the day, it all depended on the doctor whom they trusted the most.
Ling Ran did not think too much about this. He thought about Wang Chuanli’s surgery and said, “He’ll be able to recover well by staying at the ICU now. The patient sustained great physical trauma. Judging from the current situation…”
*Ring, ring, ring*
*Ring, ring, ring*
Several doctors’ phones started to ring.
“A building is on fire.” Huo Congjun immediately picked up the phone before he turned around and frowned. He said, “It’s estimated that there will be a large number of burnt patients who will be sent over.”
As he said this, Huo Congjun looked at Wang Chuanwen and said, “Sorry, Mister Wang, the Emergency Department will become busier later.”
“Okay, I need to go.” Although Wang Chuanwen said that, he did not have the intention to immediately leave.
Huo Congjun did not care about him. He looked at Ling Ran and said, “If it’s just burns and scalds, then you don’t have to join the surgery. However, we need to clear the emergency room first and send away all the patients who can be transferred. Ling Ran, you will take care of those who can be treated immediately.”
“Oh? Okay.” Ling Ran agreed without thinking much.
He was not familiar with handling burns and scalds, but he could quickly treat the cases in the emergency room. In fact, he could do it as easily as breathing.
The doctors of the Emergency Medical Center who stood by the side started having their imaginations run wild.
Huo Congjun specialized in burns. When he went off to treat these patients, he naturally brought a few senior doctors with him. However, among the other doctors remaining were also treatment group leaders, and Ling Ran was to be in charge…
