Great Doctor Ling Ran

Panda Novel

“Old Xu, hurry up.”

“I’m number one, I’m number one.”

“Space yourselves. If we run into each other, it’ll be really bad.”

Several men who were like Corgis and kept dogs either leaned against their crutches or held the handles of the corridor, and they still attempted to race as they limped together.

Beside them, their physiotherapist had an expression as if he just screwed a dog. While he watched helplessly as they competed, he had to follow and pay attention to them lest someone really fell.

Old Xu was still in a wheelchair, pushing himself to move while on wheels. He moved in front of a familiar looking physiotherapist and asked, “They just finished their surgery, is racing really okay?”

“With their speed, even racing against dogs wouldn’t be a problem to them.” After the physiotherapist finished speaking, he took a few steps and watched the breathless Corgi guys who were supporting their bodies with their arms. He then urged them. “Walk faster, hurry up. Didn’t you guys eat?”

Everyone turned around indignantly: φ(≧ω≦*)♪

The physiotherapist pouted. “Is that the best you can do? The last time I rehabilitated a thief, that person ran faster than you and was more determined. How do you guys catch thieves like this?”

“The police dogs are the ones which catch the thief!” The crowd retaliated, refusing to accept the insult.

“Isn’t that much simpler for you? Just run forward and say a command, and the dogs would rush forward.” The physiotherapist chuckled.

“They’re police dogs! Do you know how difficult it is to train police dogs?” The Corgi guys glared at him. Their heads were already covered in a faint sheen of sweat after their recovery from the surgery. “We are technical officers, we dabble in pens and electronics.”

The physiotherapist had seen many more incredible people and heard even more obscene words. When people were tired, they would start talking nonsense.

The physiotherapist pursed his mouth and waved his hand. “Everyone in this hospital dabbles in the technical aspects in their field. Run forward.”

“Oh.” The Corgis gritted their teeth again and walked forward while grunting in pain.

As they walked, the crowd slowly came to a stop.

“Were we scolded just now?” Corgi Man asked the people behind him hesitantly.

The others were silent for a few seconds. “We were scolded to be like dogs, that’s not scolding.”

“That’s true.”

“Aye.”

“Carry on.”

…..

After a lively hundred-meter race, several members of the police dog unit held their crutches in a relaxed state.

“I have to say, it’s good to be hospitalized together.”

“Yeah. We don’t have to think about anything, all we need to do is rest. It almost feels like we’re on holiday.”

“Aren’t we actually on vacation now?”

“Sick leave feels different,” Corgi Man said as he stretched out his legs and made a lazy stretch. His whole body was relaxed like a ginger cat, and he started to doze off.

In the hospital corridor, all sorts of people came and went, especially the family members of the patients who came to fill up some water. They talked about prohibited topics often, and they amused the dads of the police dogs.

At that moment, Yu Yuan also brought a thermos with her to refill water.

As she walked, she was talking on her phone.

“Yes, the location is fine.

“Was the corpse disposed of?

“Don’t let anyone see it.”

Several police dog fathers sat up straight and looked at each other with serious expressions.

“Doctor Yu is probably talking about some dissection stuff.”

“There are too many bodies in the morgue of the hospital.”

“Doctors don’t need anyone’s help if they want to kill people. They can pull someone from the ambulance to the operating theater and rescue them. Why would they need someone else to help in killing people?” The vice-captain laughed and shook his head. “I heard that half of the doctors who kill think they are God’s hands, performing merciful strokes, like they’re the angels of death or something … ”

At this moment, Yu Yuan’s topic changed, and her expression became serious. “What we’re doing is euthanasia, not killing someone with a chainsaw. You just have to dispose of the corpse, and you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

The vice-captain could not sit still this time. He leaned against his crutch and walked toward Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan held her phone and slowly filled up the thermos with hot water before she turned around and walked in the other direction.

The vice-captain said nothing and continued to chase after her with his crutch.

Several teammates behind him also chased after her, even though they did not know what was going on.

If anyone looked, they would see a small dot at the front of the corridor while a few men at the back with crutches walked after her as if they were practicing how to walk. They were also sweating bullets.

In this white, light blue, and gray world, everyone was doing their own thing.

“Elevator, wait.” The vice-captain was lagging further and further behind. Then, when Yu Yuan entered the elevator, he shouted.

Yu Yuan looked indifferently at the patients across her, but in the end, she still chose to wait.

“Doctor Yu, where are you going?” the vice-captain asked straightaway as he panted.

Yu Yuan furrowed her brows. “To the lab.”

The elevator door finally closed while she spoke.

In the confined space, the expressions of the vice-captain and the others were unreadable.

“So, what do you mean by a corpse?” Corgi Man was panting so hard he looked as if he had been toyed with by a Golden Retriever.

Yu Yuan calmly said, “A little white mouse.”

“Oh.” The vice-captain and everyone laughed.

*Ding*

The elevator opened. After Yu Yuan went out, she turned around and said, “Do you guys believe what I just said?”

*Ding*

The elevator closed, the vice captain, and Corgis looked at each other before they sighed. “Should we forget it?”

“Forget it.”

Outside the elevator, Yu Yuan smiled with contempt.

…..

Ling Ran performed the operation at a leisurely pace.

In just over twenty minutes, a knee arthroscopy operation was declared complete.

“The operation went well, take a good rest,” Ling Ran said, then took off his surgical gown and watched Zuo Cidian as well as the others finish the surgery.

Knee arthroscopy was usually done with regional anaesthesia. Under Zuo Cidian’s suggestion, Ling Ran did not turn around and leave as he usually when he operated on patients under general anesthesia. He stood by the side to watch for a while and only walked away when the patient did not raise any requests.

Most patients did not have any requests.

But today’s patient was involved in an accident.

“Doctor, um… when I go out, can I pretend that I’m unconscious after the anesthesia?” The patient looked at the anesthetist and Ling Ran with a pitiful look. After the operation, he also knew who was in charge.

Ling Ran stunned. “Why do you want to pretend to be unconscious?”

The anesthetist resolutely said, “I’m okay with that.”

The patient put on a little smile and whispered, “My wife nags a little more than the usual person. Before I had the operation, she held back and said nothing. Now that the operation is done, I’m afraid she will bother me.”

Ling Ran had to think about what he said with a little more brain power.

Zuo Cidian coughed and said, “Doctor Ling, can you help him? He’s a pitiful man.”

“Oh, okay.” Ling Ran decided to trust Zuo Cidian’s judgment and followed his advice readily.

The patient was extremely grateful and laid down quickly to appear to be asleep.

“Let’s carry him out.” When Zuo Cidian saw that the surgery was at its end, he made this declaration.

The nurse worked hard with him to send the person to the gurney. Then, they pushed him out slowly.

Right from the start to the end, the patient remained in a state where he looked as if he was unconscious because of anesthesia.

The nurse pushed the man all the way to the door of the operating theater. At this time, she asked, “Is it a little weird if the patient snores after he has been anesthetized?”

“Patients are likely to snore without intubation—” When the anesthetist said this, his mind went blank. He hesitantly asked, “He’s asleep?”

The nurse said, “Yes.”

“Continue as usual,” Zuo Cidian said seriously, “Snoring is not a sin.”
