Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 774: Limited Edition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The storm was long past.

Three helicopters, each producing a beam of golden light, landed in the distance, one after another. Then, people and resources started alighting.

Lucio, the person in charge of the site, was stepping onto the land of Cuba Town for the first time ever.

He was accompanied by four reporters. They took up the space of one and a half helicopters, causing the resources delivered this time to be fewer than those from the previous helicopters.

However, with the storm gone, it was no longer as dangerous, or dire. Without storms, the helicopters had a window of clear skies for at least five hours, more than enough to save Cuba Town, which only had about one thousand people. But now, the people no longer felt like leaving, and were less worried about their shortage of supplies.

After all, Cuba Town had always been remote.

At that moment, all residents surrounded the reporters and made their own statements.

“Many of our cows died, and it’s mostly because of insufficient feed. This is very cruel. We hope that the government can provide us with emergency feed—”

“Many houses collapsed, and the remaining houses are no longer safe. There’s also the issue with cleaning. There’s so much sludge around, and if we have to clean it ourselves, we’ll be working until the rainy season next year—”

“My fish pond is flooded, and the fish are gone… Yes, they’re all valuable fish…”

“There’re even more people who are sick now. We’re all relying on Doctor Ling from China to treat us. We need more doctors.”

When Lucio faced the public, he showed a smile on his face. The seemingly overwhelming demands did not seem to faze him one bit.

In Brazil, farming was still an occupation that occupied a moral high ground. Even though the ranchers and farmers made ridiculous requests, they were still easily forgiven.

The attitude of a politician was most important in this sort of situation, not the empty promises he made.

After all, then out of his ten promises would never be fulfilled.

After Ma Yanlin listened for a few minutes and experienced the political situation in Brazil, he followed a few nurses as they moved patients into the helicopter at the corner, where the cameras had their backs turned to.

The severely wounded patients were all sent away, but there were still patients who had undergone surgery and were not out of the woods yet. Some of the elderly were wracked with multiple underlying diseases. Guozheng Charity Hospital lacked doctors and medicine, so the patients’ conditions could not be stabilized.

A tiny shadow silently enveloped Ma Yanlin. “Those who don’t know will assume all of you operated on every patient.”

“Yu Yuan! I mean… Doctor Yu, you’re back?” Ma Yanlin was really surprised. He turned around twice before he saw Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan put her hands behind her small calves. Her short height made her body seem full of energy.

Yu Yuan looked up to Houseman Ma Yanlin as a chief resident and asked in a whisper, “I heard that… you’ve performed seven hemorrhoid surgeries?”

Ma Yanlin laughed. “We even performed more than one hundred other surgeries, and they’re of different types. You don’t know this, but on the days when there was flood, this place was like the Emergency Department with only two people. We don’t even have an anesthetist. Doctor Ling and I did the anesthesia by looking through books…”

“And on top of that, you performed two intestinal obstruction repairs?”

“Only one, the other one was diagnosed as appendicitis later on. The facilities in the hospital are so bad that even the Pathology Department can’t operate. It was so intense at that time, because it meant we had to perform a laparotomy to check the patient. Before we let the patient sign, we just said it was slightly serious. After all, intestinal obstruction is more serious, right…?”

“You succeeded in all of them?”

“Yes. Oh yes, you went to Amazon rainforest, right? Is the view good? It’s the Lungs of the Earth, you know? It’s amazing…”

“I didn’t manage to go.” Yu Yuan had a sour expression and said, “When I just arrived, it was raining heavily. So we postponed for two days, but the rain was too heavy, so we had to come back,” Yu Yuan calmly said, “At the end, the only wildlife I really got to experience were the mosquitoes.”

Ma Yanlin felt inexplicably guilty. Then, he looked at Yu Yuan’s face before he said awkwardly, “I don’t see any mosquito bites… But, the mosquitoes in the tropical region are pretty awesome. Previously, the Yellow Fever was transmitted through mosquitoes…”

“I heard you also became a chief surgeon? Ling Ran had you do the last three of the seven hemorrhoid surgeries on your own, right?” Yu Yuan did not want to further discuss why she was not bitten by mosquitoes.

For her, this trip to Amazon had made her lose hundreds of chances to perform surgeries.

And if she had Ling Ran’s guidance for these hundreds of surgeries, she would have been able to become familiar with a new surgical style.

She did not need to perform the same surgery every time. There were always similarities between surgeries, and different surgeries will also employ the same techniques at certain moments. This was also one of the ways for junior doctors to practice their skills.

After all, junior doctors lacked basic skills. For example, the purse-string suture used in hemorrhoid surgery was applied in gastrectomy as well, and it was quite commonly seen in colorectal surgery.

In comparison, getting an opportunity to receive guidance from a senior doctor like Ling Ran was far more important.

Hemorrhoid surgery was even rarer. Yu Yuan could almost be certain that when Ling Ran left Brazil or before he left Brazil, if they were relieved of their current tension in the situation, Ling Ran may never perform hemorrhoid surgeries again.

In other words, what Ma Yanlin obtained was probably the Ling limited edition hemorrhoid surgery!

Yu Yuan’s face as she stared at Ma Yanlin was like a wild arowana staring at a loach.

Ma Yanlin stuttered, “It’s very hard to make an appointment for a surgery in a Brazilian hospital, but many people get hemorrhoids. Think about this, the weather is so hot and damp, and they always eat barbeque. When they sit for too long, they will easily get hemorrhoids… We are also solving the patient’s pain for them…”

“Then, you became the chief surgeon?” Yu Yuan asked.

“I watched Doctor Ling perform a few surgeries before I had the opportunity to be the chief surgeon,” Ma Yanlin answered in a low voice, “Hemorrhoid surgery is simple, you know that, right…?”

“I don’t know… I haven’t done many before…” Yu Yuan answered wistfully.

Ma Yanlin scratched his ears and cheeks while he looked around before he suddenly said, “The patients are here. Perfect timing, you can talk to the patients.”

When she looked over, a few patients walked over slowly like zombies.

The reporters were slightly stunned before they surged to them in the next moment.

“Hi, are you injured?”

“Hi, why are you injured?”

“We heard that working in the heavy rain was very hard, were you injured when you saved yourselves?”

The reporters caught on the topic of “injury” and eagerly asked questions.

Naldo’s lips trembled when he walked in the crowd. He said before the one who stood in front of him mentioned the word hemorrhoids, “That’s right, we’re all injured because of our jobs, and we were injured when we were in trouble.”

“Ah, can you explain in greater detail?” The reporters immediately passed the microphones over.

Naldo calmly wiggled his butt and moved 19 inches forward before he said, “Perhaps you might not be able to imagine it, but the most dangerous thing in Cuba Town is not the storm and mudflows, but the stressful environment, moist weather, and the rampant diseases…”
