Chapter 581: Fight it Out

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I think that it’s a good thing that Ling Ran took the initiative to request to go on a volunteer dical consultation and that we should encourage him to do so.” During the hospital administration eting, Huo Congjun easily raised Ling Ran’s request. As expected, everyone in the eting gave Ling Ran the green light and decided on Bazhaixiang as the location of the volunteer dical consultation.

Ordinary doctors always tried to avoid going on volunteer dical consultations. Since Ling Ran took the initiative to request to go on one, of course, no one would stop him.

Besides, nowadays, the doctors in Yun Hua Hospital found it pointless to stop Ling Ran from doing anything.

Take the departnt director of the Departnt of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, He Yuanzheng, as an example. What power did he have to stop Ling Ran from doing anything?

This thought flashed across so of the doctors’ minds. Hence, they took the opportunity to look at He Yuanzheng with a smile.

He Yuanzheng’s expression did not change at all.

He was already resigned to the fact that he was oppressed, and no longer cared about it. The Departnt of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery was a small departnt to begin with. Together with the fact that he was a young departnt director from another hospital, he had long since been used to being oppressed.

Of course, the thought of staging an uprising against Ling Ran had crossed his mind. However, now that he had dismissed this thought, he saw things in a different light.

The biggest difference between the departnt directors in hospitals and those who held positions in ordinary companies was that departnt directors were more free and independent.

Theoretically, after a doctor was promoted to departnt director, he no longer needed to care about what his colleagues think of him. Of course, departnt directors still needed to respect those in power such as the associate hospital director, and they had to be cautious when it ca to institutional units and governnt organizations such as the Ministry of Health. However, they did not need to worry or care too much about what their colleagues thought of them and what their colleagues did.

All this was possible because of the uniqueness of skill-based positions.

Take He Yuanzheng who was the departnt director of the Departnt of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery as an example. There was no way the upper managent or the leaders could interfere with the way He Yuanzheng ran the departnt.

All they could do was ss with his departnt when it ca to the allocation of staff mbers and funds. Besides, there was a difference between being a doctor and working in other industries. Most departnt directors were not eligible for promotion.

This was especially true when it ca to chief physicians in tertiary Grade A hospitals. From the very beginning, most of them were not qualified to beco the hospital director or the associate hospital director, and there was no need for those who did to pay any attention to the upper managent.

The departnt directors did not even care that much about the allocation of funds. They usually asked for funds from the hospital, and rarely asked for any money from the governnt.

There were only two reasons departnt directors asked for funds—to purchase equipnt or to invest in dical research. They mainly asked for funds to purchase equipnt, and when it ca to this, there was a lot of room for negotiation, to the point that the decisions were not up to one or two branch-level cadres of the Ministry of Health.

Hence, the only people departnt directors needed to be vigilant about were their colleagues.

There was no need for He Yuanzheng to care about how good Ling Ran was at finger replantation surgery. But he could not ignore the fact that Ling Ran was extrely good at hepatectomy.

Why were chief physicians, or even associate chief physicians from large hospitals treated with so much reverence whenever they visited smaller hospitals, to the point that the doctors in the smaller hospitals obeyed their every command?

Nowadays, He Yuanzheng was being very careful when it ca to everything related to Ling Ran. He naturally would not speak up and cause other people to hate him.

Huo Congjun, too, rely glanced at He Yuanzheng. When he saw that He Yuanzheng had no intention to speak up, he nodded a little and moved on to the next topic.

The eting was over soon.

After the eting ended, Departnt Director Hong from the Respiratory dicine Departnt and the departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt sought Huo Congjun out to talk about the joint volunteer dical consultation.

All departnts in Yun Hua Hospital were tasked to carry out volunteer dical consultation and had to dispatch a certain number of doctors to do so every year. But not every departnt was equally enthusiastic about it.

Usually, the more specialized a departnt was, the more they disliked participating in volunteer dical consultation. On the contrary, departnts that were more general were more enthusiastic when it ca to volunteer dical consultation.

Even though it was carried out on a voluntary basis, the only bills the patients did not need to pay were physical examination and consultation fees.

Besides, it was more convenient for patients in villages to have doctors sent to them, as they did not need to travel. However, if the patients were to receive treatnt, they still needed to pay the necessary bills.

It was also a source of patients for the departnts.

Of course, tertiary Grade A hospitals that were one of the top hospitals in the area like Yun Hua Hospital never lacked patients. Moreover, most of the patients that they got via volunteer dical consultation rely suffered from ordinary illnesses. However, since volunteer dical consultation was a mandatory task, the departnts had to muster up more enthusiasm for it.

The Respiratory dicine Departnt and General Surgery Departnt were considered pretty general departnts, and most of the diseases they diagnosed during volunteer dical consultations were those that they encountered on a daily basis. Since Ling Ran had volunteered himself, the departnt directors of these two departnts thought of making up the numbers so that the task could be completed.

After a while, a chief physician from the Orthopedics Departnt and Chief Physician Wang Haiyang from the Hand Surgery Departnt ca over too.

It was even more obvious that they were here to make up the numbers, and they probably intended to hand over their patients to Ling Ran.

Huo Congjun did not mind at all.

Ling Ran had no experience when it ca to volunteer dical consultation, and he was young. Since Huo Congjun was not tagging along, he saw no problem in having a few senior doctors from other departnts helping Ling Ran out.

Wang Haiyang from the Hand Surgery Departnt glanced curiously at the doorway and asked, “Departnt Director He, aren’t you joining us?”

The Departnt of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery did not offer many surgical thods to begin with. With Ling Ran around, they would be able to offer volunteer dical consultation to many more patients with liver and gallbladder diseases. Thus, it was only normal for He Yuanzheng to join the volunteer dical consultation.

Huo Congjun rely smiled and said nothing.

Departnt Director Hong from the Respiratory dicine Departnt lit a cigarette. He giggled and said, “Old He probably wants to take the opportunity to carry out a few more hepatectomies.”

The doctors present cackled.

Huo Congjun coughed a few tis and said, “It’s not like Ling Ran is snatching Old He’s patients. Nowadays, all the patients who are here for Ling Ran are referred to us from local hospitals.”

Larger hospitals and senior doctors had the right to be arrogant as they offer surgical thods that other hospitals or doctors were incapable of performing.

In the past, whenever the Departnt of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of provincial hospitals such as the First People’s Hospital of Wuxin City encountered patients they were unable to treat, they would straightaway refer them to hospitals in Beijing or Shanghai. They would not have referred them to Yun Hua Hospital. However, nowadays, many of the doctors recomnded Ling Ran to their patients.

Given Ling Ran’s skills, this was only natural. It was also a status symbol.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s discuss the volunteer dical consultation…” Huo Congjun never liked to talk about other people behind their backs, so he changed the topic.

The most troubleso part about a volunteer dical consultation was its administrative aspect and logistics. On the contrary, things were easier for doctors. All they had to do was to head to the location of the volunteer dical consultation in one piece and do whatever they had to do. It was just ti-consuming and physically taxing.

Things were not as simple for the organizer. Aside from allocating dical staff to accompany the doctors on the volunteer dical consultation, they also had to prepare the necessary equipnt and dical consumables.

Hence, they were responsible for the shipping, maintenance, and adjustnt of the equipnt. There was also the possibility that the equipnt would suffer damage on the way. As for dical consumables, it was solely a matter of expenses. They had to try their best to avoid overspending on dical consumables, and worry that the dical consumables they bought were not enough at the sa ti.

The organizers were busy making preparations, and one week later, it was ti for Ling Ran and the other doctors to depart.

Not only had Ling Ran used up all the hospital beds in the Ergency Departnt, but he had also taken up almost forty beds in the Departnt of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Hand Surgery Departnt, and ICU combined.

With this number of patients, no matter how soon they would be getting discharged, it would put quite a huge pressure on the doctors-in-charge.

Ling Ran thought things through carefully and said, “Zuo Cidian, Ma Yanlin, and Zhang Anmin will be staying here. Yu Yuan and Lu Wenbin will be following .”

Zuo Cidian was imdiately drenched in cold sweat the mont he thought about how he and two other doctors would be in charge of over a hundred hospital beds. He quickly said, “How are the three of us going to manage so many patients…? Besides, Doctor Zhang needs to work for the Departnt and Hepatobiliary Surgery too, and Young Ma cannot be here all day.”

As Zuo Cidian said this, he had no choice but to admire Ling Ran’s capability. Among the three doctors left behind, two of them did not belong to the Ergency Departnt. In other words, Ling Ran was using the workforce of other departnts. Even though having many patients admitted at the sa ti to the point that there were not enough hospital beds was sothing had been doing for a long ti, it was still sothing that the doctors in his treatnt group still could not stand.

“What do you think about borrowing two doctors from other treatnt groups? They just need to be here for three or four days, as by then, one-third of the patients should be discharged already.” This ti, not only did Ling Ran carry out hepatectomy, but he also perford cholecystectomies, Achilles tendon repairs, and finger replantations. There were also so patients in the Ergency Departnt who were suffering from minor ailnts. If their prognoses were good, they should be able to get discharged one after another within less than a week.

However, Zuo Cidian imdiately shook his head. “We can’t do that. I’m inexperienced, while Ma Yanlin and Zhang Anmin are not even from our departnt. We would have to obey the commands of whoever cos over.”

Even though Zuo Cidian was old, he was still a junior resident doctor. And as Ma Yanlin and Zhang Anmin were not even from the Ergency Departnt, their words carried even less weight.

“We can’t just depend on doctors from other treatnt groups,” Zuo Cidian said in resignation, “What if we sought out two more housen? This year’s dical interns have also been working for quite a while, so we can ask a few to help out too.”

Ling Ran said nonchalantly, “Sure, I’ll ask Departnt Director Huo about it.”

Ling Ran was not one to waste ti. He imdiately gave Huo Congjun a call.

The call set a chain reaction into motion, and soon, doctors from the dical Affairs Departnt to the dical Laboratory Departnt were picking up one call after another.

Among the young people who were working as housen and dical interns in Yun Hua Hospitals, there were many who only got in through connections, and so of them were children of other doctors. Even those who did not get in through connections knew an important person or two.

However, Ling Ran was extrely renowned among these novices who had not officially beco doctors.

On one hand, it was because Ling Ran’s age and skills were topics of conversation in themselves. On the other hand, it was because they were attracted by the Ling Treatnt Group. Aside from treatnt groups in the Orthopedics Departnt, it was the only treatnt group where resident doctors earned more than 50,000 RMB a month.

Even those who got into the hospital through connections and children of other doctors wanted a good inco and a bright future.

Before this, Ling Ran never had the intention to recruit people to join his treatnt group, and Huo Congjun did not want Ling Ran to be affected by the politics of the dical Affairs Departnt either.

Now that Ling Ran was opening the doors of the Ling Treatnt Group to other doctors, everyone could not help but feel excited.

“Doctor Ling, Departnt Director Lei from the dical Affairs Departnt personally gave a call and said that he could only send a list with three candidates tomorrow.” Zuo Cidian hung up the call with a baffled expression and reported what he heard to Ling Ran.

“Are we only getting it tomorrow? Are they short on people?”

“They probably have trouble picking the right candidates.” Zuo Cidian said tentatively, “Departnt Director Lei asked you if you have any special requests.”

“If I get to choose, I prefer those who can stay on for a few more days. Give priority to those who can work with us long-term.” Ling Ran did not want to let housen or dical interns go after training them for just a few days.

Zuo Cidian flashed a wan smile when he heard that and humd in acknowledgnt. ‘Your requests make no difference at all. All right, we’ll let the housen and dical interns fight it out.’
