Great Doctor Ling Ran

Panda Novel

For Ling Ran, performing physical examinations for elderly patients was not something new.

Since he got in Beijing, he had performed hundreds of liver cancer cases where he had to perform intraoperative inspection during the surgery. His patients were mostly elderly patients. Each time, he had to perform multiple physical examinations before the surgery. With Ling Ran’s careful personality, performing physical examinations for eldery patients which seemed to be rather difficult cases was easy to him.

As an experienced clinician, Dean Wu Senior could feel Ling Ran’s confidence and confirmed the accuracy within Ling Ran’s physical examination.

Meanwhile, Ling Ran’s fingers were strong, his movements were clean and smooth, and he had smooth skin, causing Dean Wu Senior to sense his confidence—he did not feel any discomfort.

Dean Wu Senior closed his eyes and listened to Ling Ran’s orders and answered the questions. His expression became softer with each passing moment.

When Ling Ran finished the physical examination, Dean Wu Senior had already fallen asleep.

Ling Ran was stunned. He looked at the monitor at the side. After ensuring that there was no problem, he nodded slowly and left the room.

The other doctors left in a flurry. Some doctors even wanted to perform physical examination on the patient, but they refrained from doing so when Zuo Cidian glared at them fiercely by the bed.

The meaning behind Zuo Cidian’s actions was very clear. The patients received by Ling Ran would be considered as patients of the Emergency Medical Center. It would be embarrassing for them if the patients from the Emergency Medical Center were casually checked by doctors from other departments. The Emergency Medical Center was not a place like the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.

“Doctor Ling, how was it?” Dean Wu Junior hid his anxiety and asked gently.

Ling Ran nodded lightly and said, “Based on the medical images and examination report, he basically fulfills the surgical indication. If you really want him to receive surgery, we’ll schedule it for tomorrow morning. Today, we will just do some preoperative preparations first.”

“Tomorrow… Okay.” Dean Wu Junior’s hesitation was born of his subconscious. He knew that it would be better to perform the surgery as soon as possible, particularly in such conditions where preparations in all areas were already sufficient.

After he thought for some time, Dean Wu Junior added. “Let me talk to my father first.”

The underlying meaning behind it was that if he failed negotiating with his father, he still needed Ling Ran’s help.

Ling Ran did not understand it. He only nodded and said, “Then I’ll go for my ward round first.”

Then, the director of the General Surgery Department and a group of doctors from the General Surgery Department could only watch as Ling Ran counted the rooms in the General Surgery Department and went into a room with a group of people.

“What’s happening?” The director of the General Surgery Department looked around alertly.

The one who stood behind the director of the General Surgery Department was Chief Physician Dan Quan. He was initially pursing his lips and smiled dumbly while he watched the chaos, but right then, he made some calculations. The room that Ling Ran entered belonged to Dan Quan’s treatment group, if he was not mistaken.

This was…

Dan Quan’s back instantly broke out in sweat.

He saw the hairs on his and the director’s neck standing.

‘How should I explain the situation?’

Dan Quan’s mind was full of this question. When he knew that the director would not wait for too long for the answer, Dan Quan was as nervous as a baby who wanted to poop while shopping.

Should he solve the problem with no regard to his own pride, or should he take the risk and wait for a safe moment?

Dan Quan’s judgmental ability started to function crazily like an old printer which required a lot of power but produced only a few copies of paper.

“Ling Ran had recently learnt single site laparoscopy from me. He observed some of the surgeries and became my assistant during other times.” Dan Quan kept analyzing the situation before he decided to solve the problem on the spot.

After all, it was no secret that Ling Ran learnt single site laparoscopy from Dan Quan. Yun Hua Hospital encouraged doctors to learn from each other as well. In fact, Dan Quan had even publicized this fact intentionally and unintentionally before.

Afterall, for Chief Physician Dan Quan, this was something that will inflate his ego by a whole degree.

Right now, Dan Quan could not help but feel a little guilty.

Very guilty…

He was so guilty that he wanted to cry.

The few doctors around him put on looks of realization.

The director of the General Surgery Department stared deeply at Dan Quan.

Dan Quan tried his best to force a smile. Although he was the leader in his treatment group, he dared not oppose his director.

The General Surgery Department in Yun Hua Hospital was one of the largest and best departments. Before the director retired, it would be unlikely for the people who worked under him to rebel against him.

“Ling Ran sure loves to learn.” The director of the General Surgery Department chuckled and said to Dan Quan, “Old Dan, let’s go and have a look too. It’s your patient after all. You should be more familiar with the patient.”

“Oh… Okay!” Dan Quan understood what he meant immediately and quickly ordered his subordinates to follow Ling Ran into the ward.

Dean Wu Junior was observing at the side. Without needing anyone to explain to him, he could tell just what was Ling Ran’s current status and situation in the hospital by observing everyone’s expression and attitude.

After all, everyone was very experienced in the field, they would be able to tell what was going on when everything was presented to them so clearly.

All the doctors left reluctantly because they still wanted to watch the show.

Dean Wu Junior sent away the last person in the room and went in front of the hospital bed. He saw that Dean Wu Senior had stopped napping and was pressing the remote control for the television excitedly.

“Dad.” Dean Wu Junior greeted and sat by the side. He sounded a little stiff.

“Ling Ran agreed to operate on me?” Dean Wu Senior was twenty years older than his son. Without needing his son to explain in detail, he went straight for the crucial question.

Dean Wu Junior immediately nodded. “Doctor Ling agreed to it. He is now working out the surgery plan.”

“Okay. If they allow you to participate in the preoperative consultation, go on ahead. If they won’t, don’t say a single thing about it,” Dean Wu Senior said seriously, “Don’t you dare to interrupt the professionals with your current administrative position. This is my disease. You have no place in it. If not, you wouldn’t have had to keep on inviting specialists here, would you?”

“Yes…” Dean Wu Junior was still quite dumbfounded by the scolding. Then, he smiled, “Father, you agreed to go through the surgery?”

“I’ll go if Ling Ran is the chief surgeon.” Dean Wu Senior nodded slowly.

“Okay… That’s great.” Dean Wu Junior became very excited. “Your cancer is still in the early stage, and there is a high chance to eliminate it completely…”

Dean Wu Senior snorted and said, “You know quite a lot, huh? Since you know that much, why don’t you continue to work as a clinician?”

All this while, Dean Wu Senior hoped his son would become a clinician. It was Dean Wu Junior’s personal decision to work as an administrative personnel.

During his internship, Dean Wu Junior gained proof that he had a brighter future if he got an administrative post. He could also use his family resources wisely, it was just that he did not fulfill Dean Wu Senior’s expectations.

But in this kind of situation, Dean Wu Junior would not argue with his old father.

He grinned honestly and said, “I think, after Ling Ran finishes treating you. We can invite him to the school again and give the students some lectures or lessons. Cases like him appear far too rarely.”

Dean Wu Senior nodded, just as Dean Wu Junior expected, but said, “Whether I get treated and whether the surgery is successful or not will be my fate.

“The way you think is fine, since Yun Hua Hospital was always affiliated under Yun Hua University, and there are so many doctors from there who are also assistant lecturers in the university. Ling Ran also graduated from Yun Hua University, so it would be very suitable to invite him over.”
