Great Doctor Ling Ran

“How many were there on the upper floor watching the surgery just now?” After Ling Ran stepped out of the operating theater, entered the shower room, took a bath, and changed his attire, he asked Zuo Cidian this question when he came over to serve him.

Zuo Cidian found this slightly strange, but he did not say anything else. He first passed a quick-drying towel to Ling Ran before he answered, “About twenty people. The seats in the visitation room were all full, and there were people who stood.”

“How many young doctors were there who were about the same age as Lu Wenbin?” Ling Ran continued asking.

“A few, I didn’t pay much attention. Is there anything wrong? I can get the surveillance video out.” Zuo Cidian subconsciously became tense.

Ling Ran waved his hand, and he did not give any further explanation.

Over the last few days, he guided Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin and performed more than ten surgeries, but notification telling him that he completed his mission never popped out.

That made Ling Ran slightly puzzled.

There was also no response from the system after he made an inquiry, so Ling Ran could only read the instruction of the mission again.

[Make your subordinates prove that they are more skillful than their colleagues from the same batch.]

The concept of subordinates should not be the problem, and Ling Ran had confirmed it.

Then, the problem laid in the subsequent two concepts: colleagues from the same batch, and proving skills.

Recently, there were quite a number of doctors who came over, so it was impossible that no one who was about the same age came over.

Then, what about skills?

In Ling Ran’s opinion, Lu Wenbin’s skills must have surpassed the average level of his colleagues from the same batch. In fact, he was far more skillful than them.

However, if he thought more deeply, it was obviously impossible to say that Lu Wenbin was more skillful than all his colleagues from the same batch. Perhaps his case was different compared to Yu Yuan’s, maybe the system required him to be more skillful than all his colleagues from the same batch in the room?

When Ling Ran thought about it, he could not help but shake his head.

It clearly did not fit the situation in the room. At the very least, Lu Wenbin had outperformed all his peers in the room for many of his surgeries, and Ling Ran was very confident with this. At Lu Wenbin’s age, his ability to perform the M-Tang technique was already impressive. If anyone could perform better than Lu Wenbin, then they would have surpassed the level of the medical world in Changxi province.

Ling Ran thought for a while, and he recalled the moment when Yu Yuan succeeded.

What happened at that time?

There was a certain level of difficulty for Yu Yuan to complete her foreign body removal skill, but it might not be right to say she was more skillful than a professional high-ranking doctor from the Otolaryngology Department.

“Doctor Zuo, do you remember how Yu Yuan removed a foreign object from the patient who had his throat poked by shrimp thorn a few days back?” Ling Ran could not figure out the answer, so he tried to ask in order to reorganize his thoughts and think.

Naturally, Zuo Cidian nodded, smiled, and answered, “Who would forget it? At that time, Yu Yuan held a pair of big forceps and pushed it straight into the patient’s mouth, and the forceps were just… Ahem. Anyway, she did it quite well. The patient was discharged today.”

Ling Ran nodded slowly. “What are your comments on Yu Yuan’s foreign body removal skill just in terms of her skills alone?”

Zuo Cidian hesitated slightly. This question sounded quite serious.

Zuo Cidian carefully thought for a while, before he slowly answered, “I think she did very well. In fact, at that moment, the other doctors did not have any other solution. When Doctor Yu took over, she solved it simply and quickly. Honestly, I felt quite shocked. I did not expect Doctor Yu to have developed her own way in the surgery…”

When Zuo Cidian was talking, he also paid attention to Ling Ran’s facial expression.

However, Ling Ran had always been lagging behind others when it came to expressing his emotions on his face, so Zuo Cidian could not decipher his emotions.

In fact, all of Ling Ran’s attention was placed on “solving the problem”.

“What did the other doctors think about Yu Yuan’s foreign body removal skill?” Ling Ran asked again.

Zuo Cidian thought and answered, “It’s hard to say. But I think there was a certain degree of surprise. Isn’t this what they mean a person should be treated differently if they’ve improved? At that time, no one would expect that Doctor Yu’s rectal foreign body removal… No, I mean, no one would expect that Doctor Yu’s foreign body removal skills would be so good.”

“So, it was an unexpected skill?” Ling Ran concluded.

Zuo Cidian thought about what Ling Ran had said, thought about it, and answered, “Skills are rigid. But at that time, what Doctor Yu did was quite impressive, and no one had expected it.”

Ling Ran nodded in agreement before he asked, “If I give Lu Wenbin a similar chance, what skill will he have to make everyone to… treat him differently?”

“Is it because Lu Wenbin has performed quite a number of surgeries recently, so you want to give him a chance to encourage him?” As Zuo Cidian asked, his emotions were stirred by his own words. In his impression, Doctor Ling was always a person of such character—Although he did not like to talk, he always used his actions to warm their hearts…

Just like the present.

Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin were becoming dispirited. It was not obvious when they were performing surgery, but their low spirits were pretty obvious during their short breaks.

Zuo Cidian understood them very well. Although learning was very precious and important, consistently learning was not an easy thing. For example, while it was very precious and important for students to learn during high school for their national college entrance examination, there were still plenty of people who could not score well during the test.

Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin had been controlling their emotions very well. In fact, their ability to cheer themselves up and persist through the days had always been very rare among people. Before this, Zuo Cidian did not expect there would be a better plan to cheer them up other than holidays and bonuses.

Perhaps giving them suitable encouragement might make their emotions more stable.

“The M-Tang technique done by Doctor Lu today was actually pretty good,” Zuo Cidian made a tentative statement.

Ling Ran shook his head. “He hasn’t reached the level where he can be regarded differently yet. He must reach the same level as Yu Yuan’s foreign body removal skill.”

“Only his pork trotters can reach the level of Yu Yuan’s foreign body removal skill,” Zuo Cidian said and laughed.

A thought unwittingly bloomed in Ling Ran’s head. Lu Wenbin’s pork trotters were quite…

“What about his medical skills?” But Ling Ran soon remembered that Lu Wenbin’s pork trotters were sold all around Yun Hua. If his skill of cooking pork trotters were effective for the mission, Lu Wenbin would have helped Ling Ran complete his mission a long time ago.

“Finger replantation?” Zuo Cidian whispered, “What Doctor Lu learned are mainly the M-Tang technique and finger replantation. If you compare the two, would finger replantation provide more visual impact?”

Ling Ran slowly nodded. “I did not consider it more comprehensively. When the M-Tang technique isn’t providing any effects, I should change it to finger replantation and try it again.”

“The M-Tang technique isn’t effective?” Zuo Cidian mumbled to himself because he did not quite understand what Ling Ran meant.

Ling Ran still did not explain anything. He only gave an instruction, “Go and contact patients who need finger replantation. Also, are there many doctors registered for the training camp? Pick some who are the same age as Lu Wenbin and have them watch his surgeries.”

“Alright.” Zuo Cidian knew that picking the doctors who were the same age as Lu Wenbin could strengthen Lu Wenbin’s confidence and give him strength.

At that time, there was an indescribable urge in Zuo Cidian’s heart, making him want to broadcast Doctor Ling’s warmth and wisdom to the world.

In the hospital, there was never a doctor who would spend so many resources just to train a resident doctor, and it was even rarer for a superior doctor to take care of a resident doctor’s emotions.

Unfortunately, Zuo Cidian could not share that with everyone. He could only lower his head, work hard, and share Doctor Ling’s stress…

If he was even stressed, that is.
