“Well done. Didn’t he do it well?” Huo Congjun stared at Department Director Kang, and he really looked as if he was asking for advice while showing his might.
Department Director Kang took a spoon and ate the yogurt. He looked at Huo Congjun with an indifferent expression before he gently touched the corner of his mouth, wiped off the liquid that was just flowing out, and said, “He really did it well.”
“Which part?” Huo Congjun asked sincerely, but he sounded as if he was just looking for trouble.
Department Director Kang was shocked by how provocative Huo Congjun was. He took a couple more mouthfuls of yogurt before he finally managed to get over his shock. He had no choice but to cooperate. “The good thing is that he has high efficiency when it comes to barehanded bleeding control, good suturing skills, and his exposure was done sufficiently as well…”
Department Director Kang said those words casually, but something crept into his heart.
He might have casually tossed those words out, but they were not spoken without basis.
Ling Ran’s barehanded bleeding control had always been famous, especially after it was used in front of Professor Feng and others from Beijing. His skills were pretty much well-known in the operating theaters. When doctors had patients whose blood they could not stop, they would often turn to Ling Ran for help. The main reason why Department Director Kang did not attempt barehanded bleeding control before, but he only had a few patients in his hands, and when they suffered from blood loss, they died very quickly, but he still remembered Ling Ran’s reputation when it came to his barehanded bleeding control.
In addition, Ling Ran’s suturing and exposure were still fresh in his memory. It would not be strange if Department Director Kang himself was able to do that, because he had been performing surgeries for around three decades. But Ling Ran was able to execute it so skillfully as well, and Department Director Kang had a hard time believing it when he thought about it.
Cardiac trauma repair was the simplest surgery in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, but it was not common. The small surgeries from the field of general surgery could be carried out in town hospitals, but it was not the same case for cardiovascular surgeries.
During Ling Ran’s time in Yun Hua Hospital, it was clear that he had never touched cardiovascular surgeries either.
“Old Kang, you’re an honest man. Here’s a peanut for you.” Huo Congjun took a peanut from the basket and put it into Department Director Kang’s yogurt. “Ling Ran is a doctor who’s blessed by his ancestors. I’m really surprised that he can perform cardiovascular surgeries as well…” he said with a smile.
Department Director Kang laughed dryly.
Huo Congjun was not prepared to let the Department Director Kang speak. He said, “Strictly speaking, cardiac traumas are actually emergency surgeries. Now that we have someone who can perform this surgery in the Emergency Medical Center, I feel relieved too…”
Department Director Kang raised his eyebrows when he heard that. ‘Listen to him! How can HE say such a thing?! Yes, cardiac trauma is considered an emergency surgery. But is it really surgery that can be performed by the Emergency Medical Center? Why doesn’t he just put a crown on his own head and proclaim himself king?!’
“What do you think, Department Director Kang?” Huo Congjun finally stopped speaking. He took a pine nut in his hand and peeled it slowly.
Department Director Kang stared at the young pine nut getting turned and twisted around in Huo Congjun’s huge, rough hand. It moaned as it was ravaged. His heart skipped a beat. “Department Director Huo, what you’ve said is reasonable, but…”
“In truth, there are never a lot of cardiac trauma repair cases. Whenever you are available, I would love it if you come and give advice.” Huo Congjun got up and dropped the pine nut into Department Director Kang’s yogurt cup.
Department Director Kang looked at the unpeeled pine nut in his cup as he got lost in his train of thought. ‘Does Old Hu mean that as long as he’s feeding me, he’s not in the wrong?’
Lu Wenbin felt extremely accomplished while he was in the operating theater. Before this, foreigners were involved, and he could not retain his status as an assistant. Now, as the first assistant, Lu Wenbin was able to touch a man’s heart.
If a man touched a living heart before, he was no longer an ordinary man.
He would be a… (please feel free to insert whatever title you find fit, reader.) [1]
“This is cardiac surgery.” Lu Wenbin removed his gloves and took out his phone to take photos at the end of the surgery.
Lu Wenbin was not the only one who did this. Several other doctors and nurses took out their phones and snapped photos one after another. This was a rare moment that only happened once in a blue moon.
Lu Wenbin looked at the scene and said with great emotion in him, “I’m going to carry out the plan!”
“Pavlov?” Young Nurse Wang Jia’s love for gossip would not be extinguished by the blood on the operating table.
“Yes.” Lu Wenbin nodded vigorously and said, “I think it’s okay for a strong surgeon like me to deliver things regularly. By this point, delivering things can be considered a conditioned reflex in me, right?”
Wang Jia laughed. “You were just sending pork trotters.”
“That’s impossible.” Lu Wenbin’s smile grew even wider. “I didn’t just send pork trotters, I also sent braised pork, small and large intestines, pig’s head meat, and pork snout…”
Wang Jia looked at Lu Wenbin calmly and was speechless for a long time.
“I have a large variety, right?” Lu Wenbin laughed a couple of times and said, “I didn’t expect to be so talented.”
“Talented at being single.” Wang Jia finally could not hold it in anymore.
“Even if I’m single, people like me are considered high-class bachelors.” Lu Wenbin had great mental fortitude and was not affected by what Wang Jia said. In his opinion, he was already incredibly sincere. All his gifts were made of his own products, which was not only a proof of strength. but also a kind of sentiment. After all, his own products were all prepared by himself, which was like a gift made by himself. It was a great show of goodwill and affection.
Lu Wenbin’s fingers stopped moving for a moment over his phone when he thought about this. He then sent out a WeChat message. [We will temporarily suspend sending pork trotters to those we want to flatter.]
“Too bad, Young Ma won’t be able to eat my delicious pork trotters for a few days.” Lu Wenbin put away his phone and pretended to sigh.
“Doctor Lu, you should think twice before you speak.” Wang Jia sincerely persuaded him otherwise before a thought crossed her mind, and she asked, “Doctor Ling, do you think that Doctor Lu’s Pavlov Dating Method is feasible?”
Ling Ran looked at the digits on the screen and replied casually, “Through conditional reflex? It makes sense.”
Lu Wenbin smirked. “Look! Doctor Ling agrees with me, too.”
“Let me ask you another question. How high is the probability of your method working, especially since Doctor Ling approved of it?” Wang Jia also asked a very logical question.
Lu Wenbin was confused.
Ling Ran made sure that the patient was in a stable state. After a while, he went out.
He never cared about the conversations between his doctors and nurses. There would always be people around him chatting and constantly saying something that attracted his attention. Ling Ran also learned not to listen to these people’s words after a long time of self-discipline, otherwise, he would not have enough time for his day.
“Doctor Ling.” Lu Wenbin caught up from behind.
“Yes?” Ling Ran stopped.
Lu Wenbin looked left or right to make sure there was no one around before he whispered, “Um… Doctor Ling. I’m wondering whether you’ll be free over the next few days. I’d like to perform another M-Tang surgery with you.”
Lu Wenbin had been practicing the M-Tang technique for two years and felt that he had reached a bottleneck. When he considered the fact that he might be getting a girlfriend, he would have less time, and Lu Wenbin wanted to take advantage of the time before Pavlov’s method took effect for final special training.
It did not matter to Ling Ran. After thinking about it, he said, “You can get some suitable patients and arrange a schedule with Zuo Cidian.”
“Okay, no problem!” Lu Wenbin clenched his fists and thought of the scene of him being a chief surgeon in M-Tang surgeries as Young Nurse Ma cheered him on with her sweet and gentle voice.
