Great Doctor Ling Ran

Panda Novel

At seven o’clock in the morning, the long motorcade was driven through the main gate of Guozheng Charity Hospital.

This was similar to other buildings in Cuba Town. Guozheng Charity Hospital did not strive to be a skyscraper. Most of its buildings were single- or double-story buildings connected in a long strip, and buildings with three floors were considered the limit. If anyone looked from the sky, the entire Guozheng Charity Hospital would look like a huge Chinese character “正”, read as Zheng, positioned in the east of the town.

A hospital with such a huge surface area only had thirty medical staff and slightly more than one hundred patients. If this were to happen in China, it would be considered quite bleak.

However, the Brazilians were obviously used to this setting where there were only a few people in a huge land, and they would do things to remedy the situation. For instance, they emptied the ground floor of the hospital building and connected it to the first floor to make it a large lobby. After such a wasteful act, the surface area of the hospital was no longer considered as too much.

Besides, the side building was mainly used as the hall and lecture hall. The hall could accommodate about seven hundred to eight hundred people, and it was lent to the schools in Cuba Town for free during normal days. This gave a good impression to the local people, at the same time, it also made the hospital livelier.

When they arrived, they were just in time of some local high school students organizing an event. There were a few dozen students and family members around, along with seven to eight pets and two horses, and it was incredibly lively.

“I guess they have asked a Fengshui master to make a reading here.” Ma Yanlin commented in a low voice before he said, “I know that some places are worried about having too few people around, so they want to get more youngsters over to make it livelier.”

“Conspiracies.” Yu Yuan stood by Ma Yanlin. Through the window, she looked at the green bush below and felt good.

“I mean, it’s rare to see so many people play in the hospital,” Ma Yanlin said, “Besides, they even brought horses. They sure aren’t particular with the details.”

“The horses came for surgery.” A Chinese worker walked in and heard their conversation, so he spoke.

“What surgery?” Ma Yanlin became curious.

“Spaying.”

“Spraying?” Ma Yan repeated. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he sensed a chill at his groin, so he asked, “You mean castration, right?”

“Yes.” The Chinese worker nodded. Then he pointed at the dogs below and said, “The dogs are also here for castration.”

Ma Yanlin and Yu Yuan looked down at the direction where his finger pointed. They saw that the dogs were happily playing and running about, and they sank into deep puzzlement.

Perhaps, happiness was always short.

“Doctor Ma, Doctor Yu.” The butler walked over and said politely, “It’s consultation hour.”

Ma Yanlin and Yu Yuan became serious at once.

The consultation today was obviously different from the other days.

The most common type of consultation in their local hospitals were department consultations or inpatient consultation, and there were already set procedures. The department directors or associate chief physicians who had built their reputations could give suggestions and plans in their field of expertise, while other people just needed to cover up the deficiencies in the plan.

Usually, the department consultation or inpatient consultation rarely had hostile arguments.

For the doctors, they were already busy enough, so why should they argue with each other for plans that had already been fixed?

In fact, normal tertiary Grade A hospitals did not have the need to argue over plans, especially among the attending physicians and associate chief physicians. The reason for their arguments was just because they did not like each other, and it was rarely because of mere medical reasons. Surgeries in normal tertiary Grade A hospital were more akin to technical work, which was working according to the experts’ plans or guidelines. If the doctors could suggest their personal opinions, they could be said to be very great.

In basketball terms, the doctors in normal tertiary Grade A hospitals were like athletes who were still learning skills. Regardless of whether they were good or bad, it all relied on their performance in practicing the three-step layup, their accuracy of their three pointers at 45 degrees, and their level at post-ups. If they could occasionally give their personal opinion on a particular action, they would be considered great.

However, at such a level, they might not be able to form any arguments, because they were all learning and working in the same frame. Their performance would be considered good or bad entirely on whether they could perform the standard actions or not, and this step was quite hard to display during the process of consultation.

However, since they came to provide consultation in Brazil, their cooperation could not be compared to inpatient consultations, and it was probably more challenging than outpatient consultations.

After all, everyone had different frameworks, so their working ideals might clash with each other in terms of its essence.

For example, when a doctor like Ling Ran discussed a question with a doctor like Boyle, if neither party had absolute authority in the field, then the conflict would easily be visible. Different thinking modes would make it difficult for them to reach a compromise.

Ma Yanlin and Yu Yuan looked at each other, and both had the thought of fixing their bayonets to attack.

Yu Yuan said as if she was quite experienced, “We must go for the first round. We can’t let Doctor Ling go.”

Ma Yanlin nodded. “We’ll depend on you now.”

Yu Yuan said, “I will try to attack their theories, and you follow my stance. If you can’t do it, you can just wave the flag and shout. We’ll be fine as long as we show an imposing might. The last one who makes the judgment is probably that Tian Guozheng. He is not a professional, so he will probably think that the side who appears to be more imposing is better.”

Ma Yanlin said, “I agree.”

Yu Yuan sighed. “We should have let Doctor Zuo come. At least he is good at speaking.”

“Old Zuo can’t even differentiate ‘chuck’ and ‘f*ck’, his stomach is not good, and he can’t eat a lot of beef. So if he comes, it’ll be truly considered a waste.” As Ma Yanlin spoke, he felt diffident. Then, he spoke again, “I even searched for Jinyuan Property yesterday. It was also a large-sized company with a scale that is worth a few billion. The doctors they found should be a bunch of great people.”

“That’s why we should establish our might first.” Yu Yuan was as determined as a little leopard who was ready to grab a lion’s food.

Ma Yanlin seriously nodded. Based on his multiple outpatient experiences, he stood straight, puffed up his chest, and raised his head while he entered the meeting room with Yu Yuan.

Doctors wearing white coats already filled the space by the sides of the meeting room.

The main seat was still empty. By the sides were Lu Junjie and another young guy. When they saw Tian Qi entering the room, they immediately stood up.

“Miss Tian, please take your seat here.” Two of them said at the same time, and they looked at each other with sharp gazes.

“Department Director Li, it’s all on you.” Lu Junjie decided to stop all internal conflicts and cast his sharp gaze on Ling Ran, who had just entered the room and said, “Department Director Li is a famous Beijing orthopedics specialist…”

“I don’t deserve this title.” When the three doctors who sat by Lu Junjie saw Ling Ran enter the room, they also quickly stood up and looked very humble.

“We have watched Doctor Ling’s surgery before. Previously, Yunli Medical Company set up a video broadcasting system, right? We always watch Doctor Ling’s surgeries, and we have learned a lot.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Doctor Ling’s skills are impressive…”

Jin Daliang from Jinyuan Property, who sat at the right, laughed “What are you doing? Lu Junjie, are you here for a delivery?”

Lu Junjie was so angry that his face became red. “Department Director Li, what are you doing? You agreed with what we have said yesterday, right?”

“Medicine is not something that we need to argue about whether it is right or wrong.” Department Director Li smiled and said, “It’s very clear that Doctor Ling’s skills are very good, and he performs arthroscopies very well. When I looked at Mister Guozheng’s body and medical conditions, I think Doctor Ling is probably better as the chief surgeon.”

Department Director Li worked as the department director of the Orthopedics Department in Beijing, and he happily earned an income of a few hundred million a year. Now, he just had to work for a few years more, then he would break up with his current mistresses and bring his new mistresses to go travel around the world. So, why would he be willing to work against a future star like Ling Ran? He did not really care if Ling Ran was a future star or not, after all, he was already a top-class star that shone at a blinding degree now.

Naturally, Department Director Li also seriously treated Lu Junjie dismissively, and he did not want to have a falling-out with him.

Lu Junjie had no way to fly into a rage, and Jin Daliang laughed even louder by the side.

Then, Jin Daliang said loudly, “Miss Tian, let me introduce to you Doctor Brent Wallace from the United Kingdom, a world-renowned orthopedic specialist—”

Brent Wallace was a man with a big frame. He stood up and nodded without smiling. Then, he talked to Ling Ran through an interpreter, “Hi, Doctor Ling. We’ve shared the same views for a long time, and we finally have this chance to meet. I am really excited—”

His disciple Brandon lifted his phone high and took pictures of his teacher Wallace. Then, he also took pictures of Ling Ran and Tian Qi. As the best uploader among doctors, Brandon’s photography posture was great, to the point that his posture in photography was already the typical posture taken by professional photographers.

Ling Ran shook hands lightly with Wallace.

“Doctor Ling, I like the Zhu-Ling Achilles Repair Technique that you’ve performed previously very much. It has a very good design and displays strong surgical ability. It’s absolutely the top in the world.” Brent Wallace gave him a thumbs up and said, “This time, I wish I can watch your surgery in person…”

As Brent Wallace spoke, he let the interpreter translate his words sentence by sentence.

When the interpreter was halfway through the translation, Lu Junjie cackled loudly.
