Chapter 1003: Find Your Faults
At the bottom of the huge projection screen, Chief Physician Ji, Chief Physician Xu, Chief Physician Fan, Guo Liqing, and Chief Physician Hao from the Department of Vascular Surgery in the People’s Liberation Army General Hospital all stood in a row, and they smiled like walking groundhogs.
“Chief Physician Ji, this way, please.” Guo Liqing had the brightest smile. He was originally not qualified to go onto the stage, as his position as an associate chief physician was not really outstanding for the occasion today. At the very least, when it came to seniority, at least ten chief physicians were more qualified to go up compared to him.
However, Duco Medical Company still creatively pushed Guo Liqing onto the stage so that they would not offend Ling Ran, Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center, and Yun Hua Hospital.
Now, the experts in charge of reviewing the demonstration surgery were confirmed to be two doctors from the provincial hospital, two from Yun Hua Hospital, and one from the People’s Liberation Army General Hospital.
Among them, Chief Physician Xu was still a doctor from Yun Hua Hospital who collaborated with Chief Physician Ji and Chief Physician Fan. If he looked at this entire situation through the angle of staff allocation, Chief Physician Ji still had the upper hand if they descended into a debate, which was exactly what Duco Medical Company was worried about.
From another perspective, based on the performance just now, Guo Liqing was also not an ordinary doctor. From the perspective of Duco Medical Company, they could basically be considered to have already set up the appropriate protection for Ling Ran.
Meanwhile, Chief Physician Hao from the Department of Vascular Surgery in the People’s Liberation Army General Hospital was there to make up the numbers and to watch the show. At the same time, he acted as a buffer zone.
When the chief physicians from other tertiary Grade A hospitals encountered situations like the one today, they did not even have the will to go on the stage. The manufacturer representative from Duco Medical Company did not force them either. If they were only going to flatter other doctors, it would still be nice to watch the surgery with the experts from every hospital, but since they were going to be up at each other’s throats, then it would be better if he did not just send any Tom, Dick, and Harry up there to serve as cannon fodder.
After all, if any of these people who were qualified enough to go on the stage ended up as cannon fodder, it would be fatal to a manufacturer representative like him.
“Chief Physician Hao, after you.” Guo Liqing continued chuckling while he allowed the other chief physicians to walk in front of him. He was just like a boxer who would not go on the stage.
He did not bother to know why he was sent to the stage. He was about to go up there, anyway, and this alone was already proof that his reputation had grown.
In the current world of medicine, the experts who could go on the stage to speak could not all be ones who can argue. Some of them had to be there just to make up the numbers, and as long as they could go on the stage, they would continuously have the chance to go up. They would be disqualified from going to the stage just because their skills were bad or ranks were low.
Guo Liqing happily invited four chief physicians to their seats, and he sat at the last seat with a microphone set up in front of it. He stared at the group of doctors and unknown staff, and he felt so satisfied.
When you live in the world, you should just be happy and not ask too many questions about reality. You would enjoy your own brand of happiness before you got urinary calculus, and after you got urinary calculus, you would enjoy your own brand of happiness before you got kidney stones. Even if you had prostatic hyperplasia, as long as you took medicine and could urinate, you could thank the development of medicine and improvement of humans.
Happiness was that simple!
“We’ll connect to the server now.” The manufacturer representative from Duco Medical Company concealed his worries.
He was not strong enough to control how the world wanted to move.
The manufacturer representative from Duco Medical Company could only comfort himself secretly while he motioned at the technical staff to start broadcasting.
The big screen in front of the meeting room brightened up first, followed by the smaller screens at the sides of the big screen. What was different was that the big screen was a screen projection, while the small screens at the sides were two 100-inch LCD screens.
The technical staff switched the signals back and forth among the three screens. The panorama view of the operating theater was shown for a while, then the surgical field under the shadowless lamp was shown. The technician could also zoom in and out repeatedly.
“The broadcast by Duco this time is going really well.” Chief Physician Hao from the Department of Vascular Surgery in the People’s Liberation Army General Hospital first took note to turn off the microphone before he covered it, smiled, and said something to try to ease the atmosphere.
Chief Physician Fan put on a false smile and said, “This system might not belong to Duco.”
“Oh? Does it not?” No one knew Chief Physician Hao was truly ignorant of this, or whether he was pretending not to know it.
“Yunli Medical Company made it. Department Director Huo now has a lot of money. He placed a few big orders this year,” Chief Physician Fan answered.
“He even bought a portable CT scan machine.” Guo Liqing was still able to “confront their common enemy” when it came to this topic.
Chief Physician Fan clicked his tongue. “But he should have covered his expenditures, right? Our Emergency Medical Center was expanded a lot this year, and the Emergency Departments in other hospitals are all complaining about it.”
Guo Liqing also felt envious, and he chuckled, but he did not say anything else.
When they were trying to fish for clues from each other’s words, the operating theater on the screens also switched angles. Ling Ran was seen walking in with both his hands up while he was surrounded by doctors.
“It has started.” Chief Physician Hao lowered his head, took a look at the information provided by Duco Medical Company, and said, “Today, he will perform a hepatectomy for a patient with hepatolithiasis and a hepatectomy for an eldery patient with early-stage liver cancer. The surgical volume is high, can he finish it all?”
Chief Physician Hao lowered his head and glanced at his inconspicuous Tudor golden watch, and he was slightly worried that he could not make it to his dinner.
Old Xu smiled calmly at this moment. He took a glance at Chief Physician Ji and said, “Doctor Ling is rather straightforward when it comes to the ways of the world, but his skills are really great, and he has no problem in performing hepatectomies.”
This was also a thought many doctors in Yun Hua Hospital had.
Even though many doctors tended to be inclined to think that experience equals seniority, skill was still the most practical weapon in a hospital. Everyone saw the surgeries performed by Ling Ran and the research papers he wrote, so their attitude and thoughts toward him were revealed when they faced outsiders.
Chief Physician Ji curled up the corners of his lips in what resembled a smile. At the same time, he considered himself to have determined Old Xu’s personality.
In the future, when he organized any programmes, he would never look for the traitors from Yun Hua Hospital again.
Diversification was most absolutely a dead end.
A team with the same mindset was the way to go!
“Let’s start.”
Ling Ran’s voice was heard from the speakers.
Then, gasps of amazement and praise were heard in the meeting room. It was as if they were at a concert.
Chief Physician Ji frowned. He turned on the microphone and said, “Hmm… since the non-medical staff have gotten in here, we won’t chase you out, but please don’t make any noise and affect others. Thank you for your cooperation.”
The sound of people clicking their tongues were heard in the meeting room, but the talking stopped.
Chief Physician Ji took a deep breath, and his mood lightened. He considered himself to have already won one round. Subsequently, he just needed to pick some holes in Ling Ran’s surgery. Even if he could not turn the tables during then, he could still start accumulating some ammo for future use.
When it came to performing surgery, although there was a standard to follow, only a few doctors were able to follow the rules and operate step by step based on the standard.
Over the years they studied as doctors, it was impossible for them to consistently be stable and efficient, and they would unavoidably form some good or bad habits; it was the same for professional athletes. Most of the surgeons did not perform the surgeries according to textbook maneuvers.
Naturally, because the doctors needed to learn and work in the medical system, their dependency on textbooks was still very high. However, if they really wanted to pick out some flaws, they did not even need to find fault on purpose, as there were always certain rules that they must absolutely follow, and some of the surgeons would not follow them.
Chief Physician Ji thought that he would pick a few suitable faults and use them to fight against Ling Ran and Huo Congjun. Then, he would get a mediator to ease the situation, and he would most probably be able to settle what happened today.
Chief Physician Ji stared at Ling Ran while he performed the surgery, and he thought secretly, ‘When an old man protects himself, he will be at his most aggressive. Ling Ran, you didn’t run away even after you stomped on my tail. Now, don’t blame me for picking out flaws in your surgery.’
