Chapter 36: Reasonable Division

‘This is a technique specifically used to suture tendons?’ Ling Ran lifted his hand and looked at the center of his palm as he recollected the pleasant feeling of having a large amount of knowledge flooding into his brain. “A technique specifically used to suture flexor tendons, huh…’

“Yes,” the system answered.

Ling Ran silently evaluated the value of the Single Skill Book.

Even though the flexor tendon was just one of the many tissues in the human hand, it was the most difficult to heal once damaged. In other words, the suturing of the flexor tendon would also be the hardest among all other surgeries in the Hand Surgery Departnt.

For doctors, mastering such a skill was already enough for them to make a living.

‘Is the system forcing into the Hand Surgery Departnt?’ At the mont, the skills in Ling Ran’s skill tree were mostly related to suturing. Along with the barehanded bleeding control technique, he could easily survive in the Hand Surgery Departnt.

The bigger a hospital was, the higher its elite departnts demanded from their employees in terms of their mastery towards certain skills, and the demand the departnts had for its surgeons to have a wide range of skills would also lower significantly.

Ling Ran could even thrive in Yun Hua Hospital’s Hand Surgery Departnt with his one-trick pony—the suturing of flexor tendons. Even if he did not reach Jin Bo Tang’s level, the Master Level M-Tang Technique was enough for him to make a na for himself in Yun Hua. By then, he could care about nothing else and suture torn flexor tendons every day…

“Ling Ran, go with Doctor Zhou to the resuscitation room today.” Huo Congjun was done with his rounds in no ti. He turned to Ling Ran and decided to give him another order.

The doctors’ working schedules were fixed, and as a rule, dical interns were only restricted to the observation rooms and treatnt rooms. They could only enter the resuscitation room for learning purposes when led by a senior doctor.

Ling Ran imdiately responded. Compared to the treatnt room where there was endless debrident and suturing to be perford, the resuscitation room was a far more welcoming side.

Doctor Zhou was even happier than Ling Ran was. He chuckled and said, “It’ll be great to have Ling Ran with . I get to lay back a little.”

“Can’t you be more ambitious?” Huo Congjun groaned, exasperated that Doctor Zhou simply refused to live up to his expectations.

“I just don’t have it in . I didn’t realize it before this, but Ling Ran being here has shown much,” Doctor Zhou mumbled listlessly.

He lacked the ambition. Or at least, the ambition to climb up to the pinnacle of dical science. In the hospital, Doctor Zhou did what was required of him and nothing more. He even had the luxury of engaging in playful banter with his departnt director after working in the hospital for so ti.

This did not sit too well with Huo Congjun, but it would not be good to appear too reproachful. He rely said, “As the experienced one, you should always keep an eye on Ling Ran. You can leave non-critical cases and all bleeding cases to Ling Ran, but he’s not allowed to take matters into his own hands like the last ti.”

“You’re too kind to Ling Ran. You’re giving all the heavy work!” Despite saying that, a smile remained on Doctor Zhou’s face.

There were dical interns in the hospital every day, and even without Huo Congjun telling him, he would definitely check on the interns and delegate tasks to them. When it ca to experienced attending physicians who often goofed off and allowed the dical interns, housen, and resident doctors to take over his tasks, Doctor Zhou was the master of them all.

Huo Congjun let out a few snorts. “As a doctor, you’ll have to shoulder responsibilities. Get busy, everyone.”

Like dhloes that were being chased off, the doctors dispersed.

Ling Ran put down his things and went into the resuscitation room with Doctor Zhou.

The resuscitation room was still rather quiet in the morning. There was only a single group of pitiful resident doctors who were passing work on to the next shift.

As the attending physician, Doctor Zhou assud command and sat at a corner once he entered the resuscitation room. He was even more relaxed than he was in the treatnt room.

Ling Ran still harbored the excitent of a rookie. Even though there was nothing much to do, he walked around the resuscitation room to familiarize himself with the equipnt and understand the status of the patients.

As they looked through the large glass panes into the resuscitation room, the other dical interns who did not manage to get a chance to perform started to lant greatly.

“This is just too unfair. I don’t mind them showing favors, but they can’t just give every opportunity to him.”

“Ling Ran sutures very well indeed, but we know how to suture too.”

“That’s true. And not every case in the resuscitation room requires expert level suturing, right?”

“Ling Ran managed to get Departnt Director Huo’s attention because of that barehanded bleeding control stunt of his.”

“Barehanded bleeding control is way too unconventional. The risks just don’t justify the attempt. Good luck may have saved him once.”

The dical interns discussed among themselves in dissatisfied voices. However, as their discussion progressed, their voices faltered.

They may have been denied several opportunities to work in the resuscitation room, but they more or less understood the flow of events there.

The Ergency Departnt of Yun Hua Hospital was a typical large Ergency Departnt. With four operating theatres, it was comparable to the standards of tertiary grade B hospital. Many types of treatnts were carried out there. Common conditions such as acute appendicitis, fractures involving the limbs, and the dislocation of joints would be treated within the departnt without having the patients transferred to other departnts.

Due to these circumstances, work in the resuscitation room was not easy, and the standards of the doctors there were above average.

Ling Ran was able to cut a prominent figure in Yun Hua Hospital’s Ergency Departnt by showing to everyone that he was a master suturer, complete with the ability to perform barehanded bleeding control. The other dical interns would not be able to reach those heights, even if they tried.

Nine-thirty in the morning.

As if rehearsed beforehand, three consecutive ambulances arrived at the hospital.

Those in the resuscitation room imdiately got to work.

“One has a myocardial infarction, one was in a car accident, and another broke a leg while climbing over a wall.” Calm and composed, Doctor Zhou circled the resuscitation room together with Ling Ran and said with a sigh, “It’ll be a little busy here today.”

Ling Ran looked at the busy resident doctors, and then at Doctor Zhou, who was sipping water from a cup, and asked, “What do we do?”

“Nothing.”

“Nothing?”

“If the one with a myocardial infarction is resuscitated, he’ll be transferred to the Cardiology Departnt or the Cardiovascular Surgery Departnt. If resuscitation fails, he’ll be sent to the mortuary. The one who got into a car accident has been sent into the operating theatre. As for the one who broke a leg, if his condition isn’t serious, we’ll keep him in our departnt. If his condition is serious, he will still have to be transferred to the Orthopaedics Departnt.” It had been a long ti since Doctor Zhou rushed off eagerly to perform physical labor like the resident doctors.

However, a departnt needed patients and inco in the form of dical expenses to survive.

This was why the Ergency Departnt kept adding on to the types of treatnts they carried out, all so that they could try their best to retain the patients.

It took so ti, but Ling Ran had finally understood so of the hospital’s circumstances. He asked, “A broken leg is within the range of expertise for the Orthopaedics Departnt, right?”

“The Orthopaedics Departnt will look for our departnt director if they have a problem with it. We just have to secure our surgery quota,” Doctor Zhou said calmly, “The Orthopaedics Departnt in our hospital is constantly under a heavy workload. With ergency cases like this, they won’t be too keen on the patients if their problems aren’t complicated enough. Forget about how low those dical bills would be. The Orthopaedics Departnt wouldn’t even have enough operating theaters to operate on those patients. So, the Orthopaedics Departnt wouldn’t co seeking trouble even if we retained the patient.”

“So… we are scrambling for patients bound to be rejected by the Orthopaedics Departnt?” Ling Ran quickly concluded.

Doctor Zhou was no longer able to keep a straight face. He explained, “There’s a reasonable division of resources among everyone. Things like scrambling for cases, accepting cases, and rejecting cases is out of the question. This is only for our hospital. When it cos to smaller hospitals, even their Orthopaedics Departnt itself rarely get to perform surgeries. That’s when they would really have to scramble for cases.”

Ling Ran nodded a little, but it was unclear if he took those words to mind.

Doctor Zhou gave him so advice.

“You’re still a dical intern. When you’re really looking for a workplace, you should look out for the large hospitals. Large hospitals would never run out of patients, and all the doctors are put to full use. Small hospitals don’t have enough patients, and it would be most difficult for rookies to improve their skills.

“Yes, I should head for a large hospital.” Ling Ran agreed.

His family ran a small clinic, and the most severe conditions they encountered were similar to that of the laceration that befell the knife-cut noodles restaurant’s Boss Yang. Moreover, Boss Yang was only there to temporarily stop his bleeding before going to the hospital. However, in a large hospital, such an injury could only be considered minor.

“Departnt Director Huo’s words carry wisdom. When you have ti, you should walk around with Departnt Director Huo more.” Doctor Zhou shared another thing that he had learned from work. Both his father and grandfather were doctors, but his dical skill points were wasted on skills that were rather… useless.

Ling Ran nodded with a smile as he thought about how even the plain-looking Doctor Zhou had a cool side.
