“Two hours,” Ling Ran said. He then added, “I need an assistant too.”

Ling Ran could be said to trust the skills given by the system wholeheartedly. After all, he had tried and tested them many times. But he felt that it was a good idea for him to have an assistant watching his back.

This was especially true as it was an interventional cardiac surgery, and he should try his best to minimize errors so that this minor surgery did not become a major surgery. As long as the thoracic cavity was opened, the patient would suffer a lot of damage. And this was what interventional surgery served to prevent in the first place.

“Oh, yeah. Assistant… I’ll get a skilled doctor to help you out. You, go and call Doctor Lai over.” Department Director Yuan earnestly made arrangements. He did not seem annoyed at all.

He was already more than fifty years old, and he was able to separate what he felt like doing and what he should be doing in reality.

Of course, he felt like kicking Ling Ran out of the Cardiology Department. He was willing to do that even if his daughter would curse him and his wife would beat him up for doing so after going home. However, in reality, not only could he not do that, but he also had to treat Ling Ran well.

Compared to cardiovascular and liver surgeries, it took a lot less skill to start carrying out interventional heart surgeries. Department Director Yuan had watched Ling Ran carry out liver surgeries before too, and he knew that Ling Ran had started eating into the territory of the Cardiovascular Department…

With Ling Ran’s skills, Department Director Yuan did not expect Ling Ran to face any difficulty when he started carrying out interventional cardiac surgeries.

There were only two obstacles for a doctor who wanted to start carrying out interventional cardiac surgeries. The first one was the approval of the hospital administration, and the second one was the cost of the equipment and facilities needed.

Huo Congjun and Ling Ran had stopped being worried about the hospital administration a long time ago. Because of how Huo Congjun had been planning to expand the Emergency Department for twenty years, he was well-prepared to refute any kind of accusations and arguments. Even though ordinary departments in Yun Hua Hospital were capable of putting up a fight against Huo Congjun, it was impossible for them to shun Huo Congjun and disallow his men from carrying out surgeries that were under the domain of their departments altogether.

This was why the cost of the equipment and facilities needed to carry out interventional cardiac surgery was Department Director Yuan’s most important weapon against the Emergency Department.

Take the equipment required for coronary angiography as an example. The expensive ones would be tens of millions of RMB, and even the cheaper ones that were good enough to be used in Yun Hua Hospital would be more than four or five million RMB.

If a department were to fork out this money, no matter what, they would be dealt a huge blow.

Correspondingly, if a department spent five hundred million RMB on a piece of new equipment, the doctors in the department would definitely use it nonstop to make the piece of equipment worth the money.

What Department Director Yuan did not want to see the most was the Emergency Medical Center performing interventional cardiac surgeries nonstop.

Department Director Yuan closed his eyes for a short while and said to Ling Ran, “If there’s anything else you need, Doctor Ling, you can tell me everything at once as it would be easier for me to make arrangements for you.”

“Huh, really?” Ling Ran did not expect Department Director Yuan to be so amiable. In reality, quite a lot of people were looking at Department Director Yuan with a baffled expression, including doctors and nurses from the Cardiology Department.

Department Director Yuan closed his eyes again. He opened it again and flashed another smile. “Of course, it’s not a problem at all. Since you’re interested in interventional heart surgery, everyone in the Cardiology Department is very willing to work together with you. We have no complaints at all.”

“No complaints at all?” Behind him, Doctor Lai who had just rushed over repeated.

“No complaints at all!” Department Director Yuan repeated. He then turned to look at Doctor Lai with a solemn expression.

Doctor Lai was Department Director Yuan’s direct disciple, and if they were in a Wuxia novel, the former would have been the latter’s successor. If they were in a Xianxia novel, Doctor Lai would have been an inner sect member. If they were in a palace, Doctor Yuan would have been Department Director Yuan’s godson.

Department Director Yuan felt the most at ease to have Doctor Lai deal with Ling Ran.

Doctor Lai did not disappoint Department Director Yuan. It merely took him a look at his godfather’s eyes to understand what was going on. He turned, smiled at Ling Ran, and said obediently, “Department Director Yuan’s opinions represent the opinions of everyone in the Cardiology Department.”

Department Director Yuan nodded in satisfaction. What Doctor Lai said made a lot of sense, and it was pleasing to the ears. Not only did it exemplify Department Director Yuan’s role in the department, but it also showcased how united their department was.

“Doctor Lai, do bring Doctor Ling over to the operating theater. You can tell him about what’s going on while you’re at it so that Doctor Ling gets to save some time.” Department Director Yuan used every ounce of energy in his body to force a smile.

Doctor Lai hummed in acknowledgment. He lowered his voice a little and said, “But surgery might have already been scheduled in the operating theater.”

“Just push it back. Let Doctor Ling use it first.” After Department Director Yuan finished speaking, he even smiled at Ling Ran.

Department Director Yuan had already thought things through. The most important thing right now was to stop Ling Ran from becoming rebellious. He knew young people around Ling Ran’s age very well, as Ling Ran was about his daughter’s age. These young people would do the exact opposite of what other people told them to do.

Under current circumstances, what he was afraid the most was that Ling Ran would purchase a full set of equipment and facilities for interventional cardiac surgery from the pharmaceutical sales companies. With Ling Ran’s position and power in the hospital now, no one would give him any trouble for that.

However, that would result in plenty of trouble for the Cardiology Department.

Since Ling Ran had already achieved his goal, he felt more at ease now. He said, “You don’t have to postpone the scheduled surgery. I can take the opportunity to watch it.”

“Alright, sure,” Department Director Yuan agreed. This made things even easier for him.

“Doctor Ling, this way please.” Doctor Lai led the way.

“Wait for a moment. I have an idea.” Ling Ran looked at Department Director Yuan and said, “You mentioned that I can make any requests according to my needs just now, right?”

Department Director Yuan’s face twitched a few times. ‘I was just trying to be polite.’

However, Department Director Yuan continued to put on a polite front and said obediently, “Please go ahead.”

“Let’s have a consultation.” Ling Ran looked a little excited as he said, “We can all participate in it together.”

Right now, he had obtained plenty of knowledge about atrial septal defect closure, but he had never used them in real life. Hence, he wanted to know how ordinary doctors who were not blessed with a system went about atrial septal defect closure.

Department Director Yuan started trembling.

Not out of fear, but out of fury!

Consultations were the best place for a doctor to showcase his abilities.

When doctors from various departments sat around a table to discuss a patient’s condition, even though they appeared on the surface as if they were trying to reach a consensus, they were actually going through a very complicated version of the law of the jungle and establishing a hierarchy.

“A consultation… Will it be about interventional cardiac surgery?” Doctor Lai asked.

“Yes. the patient is thirty-nine years old this year, and he’s a blue-collar worker.” Ling Ran took the opportunity to explain the patient’s condition, and there was anticipation in his voice.

The Cardiology Department did more than just interventional cardiac surgeries. Even though the main focus of the Cardiology Department right now was the insertion of stents, Ling Ran still had plenty to learn from them due to their many years of experience.

Department Director Yuan and Doctor Lai glanced at each other, and they really did not know how to say no. They had no choice but to agree with an exasperated expression. “Alright. Let’s have a consultation, then.”
