Chapter 823 - Is It Still Possible?

Chapter 823: Is It Still Possible?
One week later, the people and dogs in Yun Hua Police Dog Unit—mostly the people—gathered together and surrounded a hospital bed.
The team members said some auspicious words sincerely.

Captain, you need to be healthy.


Captain, don’t be afraid when you enter. It will be over in the blink of an eye.


Captain, don’t be afraid. Yuan Wang and I will wait for you outside the operating theater.

Captain Chu opened his eyes in a second, like Cao Cao waking up from his sleep. His sight was as sharp as a sword. It was as if he wanted to kill someone.
Yuan Wang died a long time ago.




I brought along Yuan Wang’s photo so that it’ll bless you.
That team member carried a deceased dog’s portrait while he smiled at the captain. The deceased dog in the portrait was a German Shepherd, but it was so ugly that it looked like a mix between a German Shepherd and a Labrador Retriever; its smile was even photoshopped on it by the team member.
Captain Chu was angry but also felt resigned.
Old Yang, I told you that I applied for a new police dog for you, right? Don’t carry around Yuan Wang’s portrait everywhere.


You said that last year, and I still haven’t seen my pup yet.


I think you’re the pup. Is there anyone out there who would carry a deceased dog’s portrait to visit their captain?


Keep your voice down, or else, Yuan Wang will be unhappy if it hears you.
Old Yang pretended to cover the dog’s ears on the portrait.
Captain Chu was so mad that he laughed.
If I’m not on an IV right now, I will smack your head, do you believe me?


You didn’t even smack me when your knees were still good, so what should I be afraid of?
Old Yang held the deceased dog’s portrait and swung it in front of Captain Chu.
If you don’t give me a dog, I will whack my head and spill my blood all over your body.


Old Yang, stop it. You’ve been causing a whole ruckus all for one dog.
The vice-captain who stood at the front could not bear with him anymore and said,
Be more serious. The captain is going for surgery. Since everyone is here… Attention, salute!

The group of people who surrounded the hospital bed saluted Captain Chu, who laid on the bed. The atmosphere was very solemn.
Eight seconds later, laughing sounds were heard in the ward, and even Old Xu, who had only recently gotten out of his bed, kept patting the wheelchair while he grimaced in pain.


Lu Wenbin also laughed when he listened to the stories. Then, he could not help but said,
All of you are really naughty.


It’s good to be slightly naughty. The dog who survives for the longest time is always the naughtiest one. The old, hardworking dog will usually get hurt and be forced to retire, even if it doesn’t die while on duty.
Captain Chu took a look at his knee as he spoke. His knee was not injured once or twice only. At the end of the day, it was all the fault of enduring hardships and working hard.

Alright, family members, please leave.
Lu Wenbin waved his hand and started to chase people away.
The group of people also did not say anything else. They left the room.
It was only when they were about to leave that they said some actual good words.

Captain Chu, you have to be good during the surgery later.


It’s just a minor surgery, don’t be afraid. Learn from Old Xu.


Captain, look at the foreigners, they are all here for Doctor Ling for their surgeries, so you don’t have to worry about entering the operating theater. If he’s not good, they wouldn’t dare recommend him to foreigners.

Old Xu also showed a faint smile on his face and said to Lu Wenbin, whom he was familiar with,
Doctor Lu, we’ll pass Captain Chu to your team now.


Alright. You can just find a place to rest first. Knee arthroscopic meniscoplasties are surgeries that will end very quickly. At most, it will take you the time to eat two pork trotters.
As Lu Wenbin spoke, he pointed at the waiting room. There was a pot of pork trotters. There was no brand and no shop name for it, but it released an aroma that people could hardly reject.


That group of people subconsciously walked over, as if they had a spell on them, and they were fixed on the spot around the pot.
Lu Wenbin quickly rushed to the operating theater.
Knee arthroscopic meniscoplasties were his favorite type of surgery. Compared with M-Tang technique surgeries, the difficulty of entry-level knee arthroscopy was much lower. Naturally, when knee arthroscopy was developed to a higher level, the difficulty level would not be low. However, most doctors did not need to master such high-ended skills to perform knee arthroscopy. This was very attractive for young doctors, especially young doctors who rarely had a chance to perform surgery.
M-Tang technique required two to three years of learning and another three to four years for the doctor to be skilled with the skill, so it was not something all doctors could bear.
Lu Wenbin could be the chief surgeon for the M-Tang technique now because of Ling Ran giving him guidance and chances. But even so, Lu Wenbin only dared to handle the simple medical cases. When he encountered the more difficult cases, he could only give them away, and the feeling he experienced at that time could only be depression.
Knee arthroscopy was more user-friendly. Theoretically, it only took a few months for a person to improve his skills in knee arthroscopy to the point that he could become a chief surgeon.
Some doctors from people’s hospitals and county hospitals just went for internships in the big hospitals for one to two months, and after that, they were able to leave to perform such a surgery.
Ling Ran’s demands were slightly higher, but the doctors he trained had much better skill.
When a doctor was at Lu Wenbin’s age, once he decided to continue his career as a doctor, the attraction of skills to him can be said to be fatal.
Captain Chu was pushed into Operating Theater 1 soon.


Normal doctors would not use Operating Theater 1 that contained a visitation room.
The wide and bright visitation room was a dream place for experts to pretend to be awesome, but it was not comfortable for normal doctors. Besides, the visitation room made it so that the visitations in Operating Theater 1 were different from the visitations in other operating theaters. The chief surgeons could usually use excuses like those visiting doctors disturbed the progress of the surgery or disturbed the surgeons’ mood and chase out the visiting guests whom they did not like. However, the visitation room was a totally independent space from the operating theater. The chief surgeon did not have the right to chase people away, and he also needed to bear judgment from everyone. If he were not skilled at a certain level, he would not be able to stand it even if he was shameless.
Ling Ran was naturally a regular guest in Operating Theater 1.
He liked Operating Theater 1 not only because Operating Theater 1 was wide and bright, but also its hygienic level was very high from Ling Ran’s perspective.
Operating theaters were not always clean. An absolutely clean operating theater did not exist, or else, all those nosocomial infections would not have happened. In hospitals with a high turnover rate, most operating theaters kept a certain level of cleanliness. If anyone wanted them to put more effort and time into improving the cleanliness of the operating theatres by 100% or 200%, there must be someone with unique power supervising them.
Examples of those with unique power would be the high ranking leaders who will always appear in the visitation room at some point in time.
The people’s gazes and scrutiny were not in Ling Ran’s range of consideration.

Doctor Ling, I’ll have to rely on you now.
Captain Chu chose regional anesthesia for his knee arthroscopy, and he showed great obedience on his face as if he was facing a loan shark who came to collect his final payment.
Ling Ran raised his hands and stood in front of Captain Chu while waiting for the anesthesia to take effect. He also nodded slightly.
He wore a blue scrub, had a stern expression, and was surrounded by a variety of instruments for knee arthroscopy. There were also a few busy doctors working in the operating theater, and all these things made Captain Chu’s face quickly become stiff.



We should renovate the interrogation room like the hospital. The difficulty of interrogation would be greatly reduced.
Captain Chu still tried to be talkative to reduce his diffidence.
Yu Yuan passed by him and asked,
Aren’t you in charge of raising dogs only?


Are you joking?
Captain Chu became angry.
The major cases handled by us, the Police Dog Unit, are top of the crop. Don’t look down on our police dogs. The drug dealers and killers are all scared when they see our police dogs—


What if your dogs fight for food?
Yu Yuan asked again.
Captain Chu was stunned.
Do you raise a dog?


Just curious.
Yu Yuan smiled faintly.
Shick.
The airtight access door of the operating theater was stepped open, and Lu Wenbin entered after he washed his hands. He looked at Yu Yuan with a guarded expression and said,
Doctor Yu, I am the assistant for this surgery.


I know, I’m just helping you to make the patient relieved.
Yu Yuan smiled at Captain Chu before she glanced at Lu Wenbin and was ready to leave.
Captain Chu’s lips twitched, and his eyes were full of doubt.
At this time, Ling Ran said,
Since you’re here, just observe the surgery. It’s rare.

Yu Yuan was stunned a little, then she asked,
Rare? How rare is it?


The internal part of the patient’s knee is completely smashed, so it’s quite rare.
Ling Ran raised his chin and said,
There was a previous case who had his knee in a worse condition than this patient’s, and it should be that patient who practices mixed martial arts.


I remember him. That person’s knees were almost broken into pieces.
There was nothing wrong with Yu Yuan’s memory.
Ling Ran nodded.
Right.

Lu Wenbin also spoke,
That fellow ate two pork trotters at once. Germans are so good at eating.

Captain Chu stared at the three doctors and listened to their conversation. Then, he suddenly felt regretful and asked the anesthetist in a low voice,
Is it still possible for me to choose general anesthesia?
