“I have to say. I had a good feeling about the intradermal suture I performed just now,” Doctor Zhou suddenly said after he returned to his place and thought about it.

Ling Ran nodded and said, “You really did a great job.”

With Ling Ran’s judgment, Doctor Zhou’s intradermal suture skill was at an advanced Specialist Level. Although he was still a distance away from Master Level, he had done a great job.

This was especially so after considering the fact that Doctor Zhou had not performed many intradermal sutures in the past. Doctor Zhou could be classified as a talented individual among surgeons.

Doctor Zhou also smiled and said, “I still remember that a few years ago, it was me who said ‘Well done’ to you.”

Ling Ran smiled and nodded.

“Unfortunately, there are no longer any suitable patients. If not, I would really want to perform another case.” Doctor Zhou was impressed and said, “With someone guiding me, it’s like a coach outside telling me how to play basketball. It’s a pretty great feeling… Sigh, why aren’t there any patients today?”

He repeated his words, and perhaps, he truly had the feeling that he had a coach guiding him.

Ling Ran remained smiling.

Doctor Zhou completed the intradermal suture as the patient’s family members who doubted him, Ling Ran, and other medical staff watched on. His condition was really good at that time, but that did not mean that his good performance could remain consistent until the end.

Miao Tansheng from Lower Groove Clinic had been learning intradermal suture for more than one year, but he had not reached Master Level even now. So, Doctor Zhou probably would not learn faster than Miao Tansheng, since he was lazy and had a lot more work compared to Miao Tansheng.

Doctor Zhou knew about his skills. He felt diffident when he saw Ling Ran’s smile. He could not help but say, “I’m not just rambling off. When I held the needle and prodded the kid’s skin, I really felt excited…”

The young nurse at the side stared at Doctor Zhou with a strange look.

At this moment, the nurse from the reception desk ran over.

“Doctor Zhou, they just wheeled in a car accident victim. Open fracture, massive blood loss, and the patient is forty five years old…” The reception desk nurse immediately reported. Doctor Zhou had the highest rank in the emergency room as of right now. So, those serious cases needed to be reported to him first.

“The patient did not have circulatory collapse, right?” Doctor Zhou looked quite serious.

The reception desk nurse looked at the list and said, “The patient is still conscious.”

“Oh,” Doctor Zhou replied and said, “Doctor Ling, are you interested in taking this case?”

“Sure.” Ling Ran would never turn down any offer.

“If Doctor Ling handles this, I’m not needed.” Doctor Zhou smiled in a carefree manner. “I’ll be reading up for a bit. There’s too much new research going on. If I’m careless for even a day, I’d feel like a relic of the past. Seriously, the things nowadays…”

The reception desk nurse could not hold it anymore. “Doctor Zhou, you just complained about our lack of patients…”

“That was just a passing remark. Furthermore, such a case must undergo surgery immediately. I won’t have any chance in performing intradermal surgery,” Doctor Zhou replied naturally. He stretched his back and said, “Doctor Ling just came back from Bazhaixiang, and he must be bored. It’s been a long time since he last met a severe enough case, right?”

Ling Ran nodded gently.

Doctor Zhou smiled sincerely.

When the two nurses at the side saw this, they felt angry and spoke at the same time.

“Doctor Ling just came back, and he needs rest.”

“Doctor Zhou, your job is not just to perform intradermal suture.”

Doctor Zhou only chuckled and let them be. He turned around and left, “I’ll go to the toilet first. Pay attention so that you can receive the patient in time. Don’t be late to his treatment. Doctor Ling, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Okay,” Ling Ran replied in a simple manner. He hung around in the emergency room because he wanted to perform surgery, after all.

Just like what Doctor Zhou had said, Ling Ran really missed accident patients when he was at Bazhaixiang over the past few days.

Compared to hepatectomy, cholecystitis, injuries sustained through falls, burnt and scalded patients, surgery for car accident patients was simpler and cruder. From the perspective of a surgeon, that meant the surgery was more straightforward, and the results were clearer…

A clear result was always something surgeons pursued.

Ling Ran followed the young nurse to the reception door. He even felt a bit excited.

A while later, an ambulance drove over.

Then, a man with a haggard look, blood on his face, and shut eyes was pushed into the hospital.

“Electrocardiogram.” Ling Ran requested. Then, he pushed the patient away.

The family members came with the ambulance. They quickly followed the patient. They looked at both the doctor and the patient, and they did not know what to do.

“I just changed my direction,” the patient muttered. Anyone who was not close to him would not hear him.

Ling Ran heard that but did not further question him.

Surgeries in the Emergency Department had standard operating procedures, and most of the time, the basic procedure was to anesthetize the patients, but the words spoken by patients under anesthesia cannot be trusted.

The gurney was pushed with maximum speed into the operating theater.

Ling Ran washed his hands and entered the operating theater again.

It was spacious, bright, familiar, and he could work smoothly here.

This was the feeling Ling Ran had when he was back in the operating theater at Yun Hua Hospital.

At the same time, Lu Wenbin and Ma Yanlin also came into the operating theater.

“Invite the Orthopedics Department, Neurosurgery Department, and General Surgery Department for consultation…” Although Ling Ran could do inter-departmental surgery, he would not actually take up every single task, not at the cost of missing out on a lot more.

The circulating nurse who was already prepared for it, immediately took the phone and informed those departments.

In Yun Hua Hospital’s system, where there were emergency consultations, departments were required to reach them in three minutes. In order to meet the demand, some departments would even locate some people at the Emergency Medical Center.

However, only when the chief surgeon confirmed that a consultation was necessary would they invite these people over.

At the same time, Ling Ran started to perform bleeding control. He also checked the patient and sutured certain wounds.

*Ring, ring, ring*

Zuo Cidian’s phone rang.

Zuo Cidian hesitated for a while. He still picked up the phone when he saw that the caller was the town mayor.

“Old Zuo, it’s been a long time.” A greeting was immediately heard from the phone.

“I’m now at the operating theater,” Zuo Cidian whispered.

“Then, I’ll cut the story short. I’ve something to trouble you.” The town mayor chuckled and said, “I’m not sure if your hospital has received a patient called Wang Chuanli. He’s in his forties, and he was sent over to Yun Hua Hospital due to a car accident…”

Zuo Cidian peeped at the operating theater and said, “We might have received him.”

“Really? Then how’s his condition? Is it serious?”

“Serious.” Zuo Cidian gave an affirmative answer.

The town mayor was stunned when he heard that, and he said, “Old Zuo, you’ve got to do me a favor. This is an investor who came and investigated our town… Let me put it this way, only use the best drugs on him, you must save the life of this person. I’m now rushing to Yun Hua, let’s chat about this again when we meet…”

“Okay,” Zuo Cidian replied. He ended the call promptly.

For Ling Ran, such words were not necessary.
