Chapter 792 Brilliant

Doctor Ling?
Zuo Cidian saw Ling Ran stop walking. He immediately walked forward and was ready to serve him.
He saw Ling Ran pause, gently waved his hands, and asked,
Where is Zhang Anmin?

Zuo Cidian’s legs gave out a little, then he was stunned for two seconds before he said,
Doctor Zhang is not back to work yet.


Not back to work yet?
Ling Ran asked.

Oh…
He looked disappointed.
‘Choledochoduodenostomy of the common bile duct’ was a standard surgery in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. Normally, the Emergency Department would not deal with such a case. Biliary obstruction does not simply occur in a day. Patients who knew about this would usually go for specialist departments when they needed to receive the surgery, and they would not go to the Emergency Department.


However, in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, there were more patients with indications for choledochoduodenostomy of the common bile duct. With the high reputation of Yun Hua Hospital, some patients with mild indications might not even be admitted. It was likely that patients with mere biliary obstruction would be transferred to other hospitals.
Department Director He Yuanzheng of the field of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery originally came from other hospitals. Since his focus was mainly on the liver, it was normal for him to transfer the patients with gallbladder and bile duct diseases to doctors that he was familiar with. This was similar to how Ling Ran’s current intake of patients in the Orthopedic Department was mainly recommended to him by others.
However, if Ling Ran wanted to perform choledochoduodenostomy of the common bile duct at Yun Hua Hospital, it was inevitable that he needed the help from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.
He did not ask for quantity. He wanted to first get two patients to try out his Perfect Level Skill, and the easiest way would be looking for Zhang Anmin.
Ling Ran looked at his watch, thought about it, and said,
Ask Zhang Anmin to come and find me when he comes for work.


Alright.
Zuo Cidian looked at Ling Ran’s expression and felt inexplicably dissatisfied. He could not help but said,
Doctor Ling, you’ll get the same results if you give us your orders as well. After all, Doctor Zhang is from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, and he hasn’t agreed to transfer over here.


We’re going to be talking about bile-duct related surgery.
Ling Ran walked and entered one of the wards.
Zuo Cidian was left behind. He looked gloomy.
He blocked Lu Wenbin, who was at the back as well, and he whispered,
Young Lu, you’re the eldest disciple. This can’t continue.

Lu Wenbin nodded.
Yes. It is strictly forbidden to smoke in the ward. The cigarettes given by the visitors should be brought home by the family members. It’ll be a headache-inducing problem if it is placed in the ward. There are always some patients who cannot hold back from their urges.



Zuo Cidian stared at Lu Wenbin and sighed.
You’re the eldest disciple, not Eldest Disciple Sun Wukong.


Huh?
Lu Wenbin was surprised.
You used to call me the eldest disciple, and I always thought that you’re referring to Ling Huchong… I do not wish to continue this conversation if you’re referring to Journey to the West.

Zuo Cidian stared at Lu Wenbin with a stern look, like an old hound staring at the young hound. Then, he slowly said,
Who are the masters for Ling Huchong and Sun Wukong?

The hair on Lu Wenbin’s neck slowly stopped bristling.
Oh, just what was I saying… I was saying that I’m actually a monkey… What are you trying to say?


Doctor Ling was asking for Zhang Anmin again. Doctor Ling is performing more surgeries for the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery now. In this case, Zhang Anmin is gradually becoming more important than you, eldest disciple.
Zuo Cidian gently patted Lu Wenbin and said,
Let’s chat privately. Previously, Zhang Anmin was not an authorized doctor in the Emergency Department. At most, he was just a helper. If we don’t think of a way, he might overtake us soon.


Think… of what way?
Lu Wenbin looked at Zuo Cidian doubtfully.

What are you thinking?
Zuo Cidian snorted and said,
Judging from my experience, when it comes to these matters, we either suppress him or support him. Since our small treatment group is small, why don’t we just keep supporting Zhang Anmin?

Lu Wenbin’s expression finally settled down, and he asked curiously,
How do we support him?


We support him in becoming an assistant lecturer for the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery,
Zuo Cidian said relaxedly, but deep in his heart, he was very jealous of him. He continued and said,
All assistant lecturers in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery have left, and now, there is only one remaining. Zhang Anmin has been working for a decade, so it’s time for him to be promoted to an assistant lecturer.


There’s a huge difference to it, you know?
Lu Wenbin was a bit jealous as well, but he felt more surprised.
There are still a few better attending physicians before Zhang Anmin, and all of them have a close relationship with He Yuanzheng. So, it’s impossible for Zhang Anmin to be promoted.



Zuo Cidian shook his head and said to Lu Wenbin,
If you’re at our town hospital, you will be sent to the villages in three days’ time.

Lu Wenbin did not quite understand, so he looked at Zuo Cidian.

Whether He Yuanzheng promotes his direct disciples is none of our business. Zhang Anmin still belongs to Doctor Ling at the end of the day.
Zuo Cidian pursed his lips and showed an expression that said, ‘Did you understand?’
Lu Wenbin still did not get it.
He… is the department director, so he does not need to listen to Doctor Ling.


It’s not the same now.
Zuo Cidian suddenly chuckled.
Our treatment group is rich now.


Hmm?


Theoretically, we can apply to build a Second Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.
Zuo Cidian looked excited.
Do you know what is the concept of making the hospital beds empty three times a month? The surgery volume of our treatment group in a month is He Yuanzheng’s surgery volume in a year. Since we are rich, even if we want to build a Second Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, He Yuanzheng would not be able to stop us.

Lu Wenbin frowned.
Does Doctor Ling have this thought?


Doctor Ling does not, but I’m sure He Yuanzheng has. Go threaten him, and we can send away Zhang Anmin as well.
Zuo Cidian sighed.
We finished almost all the workload from the two-and-a-half-day leave company. It’s quite hard to say if we can still get such a good group of patients. It’s such a waste to not use the authority given because it will eventually expire.


Will Doctor Ling agree with this?




Doctor Ling does not care about all this. Besides, if Zhang Anmin becomes an assistant lecturer, he can get more patients through his consultation. He’ll be more useful than He Yuanzheng, and Doctor Ling will definitely be happy with this.

Lu Wenbin never thought that a treatment group attached to the Emergency Medical Center could affect the appointment of an assistant lecturer from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. However, Lu Wenbin could not find any flaws from Zuo Cidian’s explanation, and he had to accept it.
Lu Wenbin could not help but shook his head and looked at Zuo Cidian. He said with a guilty conscience,
Doctor Zuo, you really think far ahead into the future.


It’s easy to think about these things, but carrying them out is hard.
Zuo Cidian sighed, laughed at himself, and said,
Do you think that He Yuanzheng can’t think of what I thought? Did you think that he would never expect himself to be lousy? What do you think about the concept of our treatment group being able to perform two hundred surgeries in a month? This is a suppression in terms of productivity!

Lu Wenbin nodded and shook his head.
You’re right in terms of us suppressing them in terms of productivity. Two hundred surgeries a month is not easy to do!

After Lu Wenbin finished, he laughed.
Zuo Cidian could not help but laugh too. He raised his head again and saw Ling Ran come out of the ward. Both of them immediately followed.
Thud thud thud thud thud.
The sounds of footsteps at the corridor of the Emergency Medical Center at Yun Hua Hospital rang out, matching the beat of their hearts.
