Great Doctor Ling Ran Chapter 900

Chapter 900 - Boring

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I’m here to… carry out my ward rounds.” As Ling Ran walked into the ICU, his spirits were up, and he almost blurted out that he was there to help.

The nurses in the ICU were very excited too, and they did not notice this tiny detail at all. One of them stood beside Ling Ran and reported, “We have been paying attention to all the patients you sent over, Doctor Ling. Right now, the only one who’s in an unstable condition is the patient in Bed 2, and his heart has failed twice. The patient in Bed 4 didn’t really urinate much today… The others are doing pretty fine…”

The most common sight in the ICU was the gradual revival of patients who had previously been given their death sentences. Of course, it was also common for patients to die all of a sudden.

Compared with the patients whom other doctors sent over who were suffering from major ailments such as serious myocardial or cerebral infarction, organ failure or even unknown illnesses, the patients whom Ling Ran sent over to the ICU usually recovered better. This was especially true for patients who underwent scheduled surgery. They usually only stayed for a short while in the ICU, and it was mostly for precautionary purposes. This was also why Ling Ran enjoyed such a good reputation in the hospital.

If a person wanted to know who was the most skillful doctor in a hospital, the nurses would be able to give him the best answer.

Only the nurses in the ICU knew which doctor was the one who was the most meticulous with the scalpel.

Ling Ran flashed a socially appropriate smile. He then surveyed his patients one by one.

For some time, he had been frequently making ward rounds in the ICU. This was the most the doctors in the ICU allowed him to do. They were not as easy to bully as the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.

Zuo Cidian was not allowed to follow Ling Ran. He saw the four Wang brothers off before he went back to where he was standing and observed things through the glass window.

The patients whose conditions were the most critical in the hospital were gathered in the ICU, and this was why doctors had to make frequent ward rounds in the ICU. Most patients there were unable to speak, and even those who were conscious would need to use up every ounce of energy in their bodies to answer a yes or no question.

Because of this, there was not much that doctors could do during ward rounds. Most of the time, when doctors made ward rounds in the ICU, they would be reading examination reports and looking at all kinds of data. Tests such as blood and sputum culture would be done on conventional patients in the ICU, and they would sometimes require a CT scan, an ultrasound scan or a series of biochemical tests. For each patient, there would be so many authorization forms for examinations that they could make up a book.

Ling Ran deliberately slowed down as he flipped through the examination reports.

He had long since been interested in cardiac surgery. Truth be told, every medical student would dream about carrying out cardiac surgery the moment they step into the hospital. However, for some of them, this dream would be shattered the moment they graduated or were assigned to a certain department. For the rest of them, this dream would only be shattered after they enter the Cardiovascular Surgery Department.

The Cardiovascular Surgery Department was never friendly to newcomers.

Not only was this because cardiac surgery was difficult, but it was also because competition within the Cardiovascular Surgery Department was strong. In every Cardiovascular Surgery Department that was good enough, there would be several, or even more than ten skilled surgeons who could operate on patients.

Cardiac trauma repair, which the system was offering to Ling Ran as a reward if he were to complete the mission, was a good starting point.

Ling Ran looked around. He then read the report he was holding silently. Like usual, he slowly got into the kind of zone doctors were in when they made ward rounds.

A nurse followed Ling Ran and helped him out with a smile on her face.

Zuo Cidian, who was watching the scene while standing in front of the glass window, felt envious.

The nurses in the ICU were famous for being fierce, and such a smile was hard to come by.

“It seems like none of the patients are in danger.” Wang Chuanwen’s voice rang out from behind Zuo Cidian.

Zuo Cidian was a little shocked, but he was not shameless enough to be angry at Wang Chuanwen over this. “Why are you back?”

“It’s boring down there,” Wang Chuanwen gave a simple explanation.

He was no longer a youth who would admit to anything other people called him out over. He was only willing to explain his presence outside the ICU because the other party was a doctor.

Zuo Cidian turned and saw Wang Chuanming, Wang Chuanmao, and Wang Chuanfu. He realized that it was easy to recall their names when all of them were present…

“Doctor Zuo?” Wang Chuanwen nudged Zuo Cidian, who was kind of absentminded. “It seems that the situation inside isn’t going according to your speculation.”

Zuo Cidian nodded. He then whispered, “It’s very normal for patients in the ICU to be in danger. Things will not stay calm for long.”

After he said that, Zuo Cidian specifically added, “The condition of your younger brother is considered quite mild compared to the other patients in the ICU. So, you don’t need to be too worried.”

Wang Chuanwen shook his head and said, “You said that I don’t need to worry about my younger brother, but you also said that it’s very normal for patients in the ICU to be in danger. Which statement should I believe in?”

Zuo Cidian froze for a moment. He had no choice but to give an earnest explanation. “All the patients who are in the most critical conditions in the hospital are gathered in the ICU. For patients sent over from the Emergency Department such as your younger brother, things are different. Even though your younger brother was involved in a serious accident, he’s still relatively young and in good health. Moreover, Doctor Ling was the one who operated on him. This is why your younger brother’s condition is relatively stable…”

“As long as things are going fine, it’s good.” Wang Chuanwen did not continue to ask questions. He then glanced at the glass window and asked, “How long would we need to wait for?”

Zuo Cidian did not answer Wang Chuanwen’s question. The youngest Wang brother, Wang Chuanfu, who was standing behind Wang Chuanwen, flatly said, “There are so many doctors and nurses in the ICU, and I’m sure that it’s not for decorative purposes.”

“Hm.” Wang Chuanwen nodded. He did agree with it.

As they were thinking about this, one of the monitors near the door started beeping.

Ling Ran strode toward the bed and got there before anyone else.

“Doctor Ling?” The attending physician looked a little doubtfully at Ling Ran.

“I’m here to help,” Ling Ran explained.

If some random junior doctor were the one doing this, the attending physician would have definitely scolded him. But as this person was Ling Ran, the attending physician did not dare to offend him.

‘He’s a doctor from another department who encountered a patient who’s in danger in the ICU, and he wants to help out. Should I let him?’

There seemed to be no point in forcing Ling Ran not to help.

When the attending physician thought of this, he flashed an expression as if he was released of his burden.

Ling Ran slowly observed the attending physician’s changing expression.

From what he could remember, this change in expression had also happened to He Yuanzheng before… When Ling Ran noticed this, he found it pretty interesting.

“The right pupil is dilated, and the left pulse is weak…” The attending physician still had a right to bark orders, and he quickly reported his findings.

Ling Ran reached out in a natural manner and palpated the patient’s abdomen. The result was not a satisfactory one.

“Administer dopamine to maintain his blood pressure… Prepare for left chest drainage… Call a doctor from the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department over for a consultation…” After the attending physician barked his orders, he could not help but look diffidently at Ling Ran.

All the doctors in Yun Hua Hospital admitted defeat to Ling Ran when it came to skills.

Ling Ran nodded a little. “This will do.”

“Prepare for an abdominal ultrasound, electrocardiography, and arterial blood gas analysis…” Now that the attending physician had obtained Ling Ran’s recognition, his self-confidence shot up, and his voice was raised as he barked orders.

Ling Ran played the supporting role obediently with no intention to snatch the attending physician’s authority.

Truth be told, there was no point for a power struggle in the ICU, as there were endless patients to be resuscitated every day and endless orders to be barked every day. No one wanted to make their own life more difficult by getting more work.

However, things were easier now that there were two doctors working together.

With Ling Ran as an assistant, the attending physician easily performed chest drainage. Around 10 ounces of blood-like fluid was drained. When the attending physician saw that the bleeding rate had slowed down, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Outside the ICU, Zuo Cidian breathed a sigh of relief too. He then turned to smile at Wang Chuanwen and said, “It’s a little boring, isn’t it? This is what hospitals are like.”

“No, I feel more at ease after seeing the way Doctor Ling works.” Wang Chuanwen’s face was full of admiration as he watched Ling Ran who was still performing his tasks meticulously even though he was only an assistant.

There was a proud expression on Zuo Cidian’s face.
