Chapter 914: Plan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Yuan walked forward in small steps, pushed open the door, and entered the visitation room. Then, she waved her hands behind her, and a bunch of young doctors followed her inside. The majority of them were dical interns and housen.
Although the chairs at the center were empty, the interns and housen still obediently stood by the sides and the back of the room.
While this was a major surgery that needed many doctors, Ling Ran’s group had a lot of young doctors. Therefore, no matter how people ca over, they could not participate in the surgery, since they were not in Ling Ran’s group. They could only watch in the visitation room like doctors from other departnts.
However, compared to other groups, these young doctors from Ling Ran’s treatnt group had it easier. One, they could at least co and watch in the visitation room. Two, there was a difference in categorizing the young doctors in different departnts and treatnt groups.
The elite departnt like the General Surgery Departnt treated the attending physicians who were below thirty-five years old as junior doctors, and the attending physicians with low qualifications could do nothing about it as well.
Huo Congjun turned and glanced around. He pointed at the chair in front of him and said, “Take a seat, Doctor Yu. It’s still early now, not many people will co to watch the surgery.”
As he spoke, Huo Congjun introduced her to the departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt. “Doctor Yu is a postgraduate student who ca to our departnt earlier on. She beca a chief resident this year. You have perford quite a number of surgeries, right?”
Yu Yuan put on an obedient face and said, “I perford two surgeries in the morning.”
When the departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt heard this, he subconsciously took a look at the ti and instantly ca to a realization. “All of you work according to Doctor Ling’s schedule now, huh?”
“Yes, of course.” Yu Yuan tilted her head slightly and continued looking obedient.
The departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt gasped in amazent and looked at Huo Congjun. “Ling Ran is quite capable of training his doctors.”
This may have just been a small adjustnt in working hours, but in a public general hospital, working hours usually corresponded to a leader’s authority. The foundation to be an expert departnt director was to make the subordinates work overti when he wanted them to. However, many departnt directors from small hospitals could not fulfill even such a small requirent because the authority of the directors in the small departnt of small hospitals was really weak.
The powerful departnt directors could make their subordinates work overti whenever necessary. Regardless of whether there was a reward or whether there was no reward in whether the subordinates obey them, when the order was given, they must follow it, and this was the standard of a director in a big departnt of big hospitals.
Furthermore, it was very difficult for them to make the whole departnt adjust their working hours according to the departnt director’s schedule, and it would be harder the more mature the departnt was.
Besides, the requests for their subordinates to change their working hours were basically an authority unique to departnt directors. Compared to the authority of departnt directors, the difficulty level in leaders of treatnt groups asking their subordinates to change their working hours was even harder.
Even many treatnt groups in big hospitals could not get enough manpower when the ti ca for them to do frequent overti. When the group mbers tried every trick up their sleeves to take leave, many treatnt group leaders who were not capable of managing their group would think that they never had a treatnt group, to begin with. The would work, treating patients all over the place, so much so that their overti hours surpassed their peers…
Huo Congjun never realized that Ling Ran’s managent level was so unique. Right then, he wore a happy face and said, “Ling Ran is a manager with the charms of a leader.”
“That’s true.” The departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt praised him and nodded. He turned around and asked in a deliberately friendly tone, “Doctor Yu, what are the surgeries you perford in the morning?”
Yu Yuan continued being obedient. “One is an ergency appendectomy, and another one is—”
“Ahem.” Huo Congjun’s coughing was too loud, and all those who heard it knew it was fake.
The departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt frowned. Appendectomy was one of the projects of the General Surgery Departnt. Although they had long since not bothered themselves with small surgeries like appendectomy, listening to doctors from the Ergency Departnt talk about carrying out ergency appendectomy in front of him, who was the departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt, he would still feel displeased.
Ergency appendectomy? How much of an ergency could it be? The patient might be in pain, but based on the surgery choices he could make, he would have no problem in receiving his surgery even if he waited until the next day. While the departnt director was still young, he had seen many who would endure the pain for two to three days before coming for surgery treatnt…
But while he was grumbling up a storm in his heart, the departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt was still more interested in the surgery that Yu Yuan did not say.
If she could even ntion sothing like an ergency appendectomy, then what sort of surgery would make Huo Congjun actually take steps to stop it from being ntioned?
Intestinal obstruction repair? Hernia repair?
Did they perform a gastrointestinal repair instead?
The departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt beca sterner and stared at Yu Yuan before he asked, ” What was the second surgery?”
Huo Congjun sighed and did not try to stop Yu Yuan anymore.
Yu Yuan replied frankly, “Rectal foreign body removal.”
The departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt was instantly stunned.
“It is a simpler one; a ping pong ball. Initially, the patient had a string connected to the ping pong ball, and he tried to pull it out with the thread, but he did not manage to get it out. The thread snapped instead. He ca over for surgery at five o’clock in the morning, and we got it out after fifteen minutes.” Yu Yuan made a motion of pulling sothing out and said, “Actually it’s very hard to take out a normal ping pong ball, but luckily, this guy was smart and knew how to connect the ping pong ball with a thread. Besides, the ping pong ball was light, so it’s easier for to get it out after I found the end of the thread.”
The departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt turned his head around laboriously and looked at Huo Congjun, who kept staring at him.
Huo Congjun’s expression turned from curiosity to excitent to seriousness to amusent he could not conceal to slight disgust. The range of emotions he expressed varied greatly.
The departnt director of the General Surgery Departnt’s expression was quite funny as well. His expression changed from awkwardness to helplessness, then from resignation to realization, and from realization to embarrassnt and annoyance.
“Observe the surgery.”
“Observe the surgery.”
The two departnt directors first put aside their funny and amusing expressions, and they received support from the people around them, who all looked disgusted.
“Do we need to perform surgery like this in the future?” a new intern from Ling Ran’s group whispered into the ears of an “old” intern, Qi Zao.
Qi Zao replied to him with a smile, “Don’t worry, we won’t.”
“Really?” The new intern sensed an unexpected delight.
Qi Zao nodded seriously. “Of course. It’s already difficult for you to get the position of an assistant, so there’s no way you can have the chance to get such a rare surgery.”
The new intern wanted to flip tables.
……
At the operating theater were Ling Ran, Zhang Anmin, Lu Wenbin, and Ma Yanlin. They were in their respective places, and their expressions were serious.
This was the strongest lineup in Ling Ran’s treatnt group. In fact, this could be considered as the strongest hepatectomy lineup in Yun Hua Hospital. If this happened two years ago, Lu Wenbin and the others could still be considered as newbies, but as they continued performing hepatectomy with Ling Ran for two years, the number of hepatectomies participated by Lu Wenbin and the others was among the top in the hospital.
If they put in a broader perspective, perhaps they could even say that the number of hepatectomies was at the top of the province.
Certainly, the dical world did not care about the total surgery volu of the assistants. But in terms of practical ability, Lu Wenbin and the others were already more than skilled enough to beco the assistants in hepatectomy. Currently, Zhang Anmin, who had beco an associate departnt director of the Departnt of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, already had skills and qualifications that were almost at the level of a chief surgeon.
However, this was a gastrectomy in combination with hepatic resection, and it was perford by a single surgeon, so they would never go overboard no matter how much preparation work they did.
Zhang Anmin looked at Ling Ran, and he smiled like a Golden Retriever.
“Gastrectomy in combination with hepatic resection, ready to start now.” Ling Ran’s expression was similarly serious.
Unlike the hepatectomy that Ling Ran was used to, the outco of the surgical treatnt for hepatic tastasis from gastric cancer was uncertain, and there was still not a standard guide until now.
This was because hepatic tastasis from gastric cancer was not similar to hepatic tastasis from colonic carcinoma. Hepatic tastasis from gastric cancer had a low resection rate and a high recurrence rate, and those two alone were bad indicators. Therefore, many doctors and patients now tended to go for comprehensive treatnt, such as systemic chemotherapy, intervention chemotherapy, ablation treatnt, molecularly targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. They might even go for multiple treatnts.
Although no treatnt plan was the most perfect and complete, among all treatnt plans, surgery was definitely the one with the highest risk.
But if it were well perford, surgery would be the most beneficial treatnt plan.
