Chapter 830: Telling Jokes

In the afternoon, Ling Ran saw the surgeon mentioned by Department Director Huo to be in Yun Hua Hospital for in-service training. He was Ren Qi, a senior attending physician who came from the General Surgery Department of the county hospital in Qiu County.

Ren Qi was a fat middle-aged man with an average body size. As a member of society who sang daily in karaoke boxes in a small province, he was considered to have put in effort in keeping his body figure at an average to obese level.

Ren Qi was still quite proud of his own effort. After he came to Ling Ran’s treatment group and introduced himself, he said proudly, “I personally do not have any talents, but I can endure hardship. Doctor Ling, if you have anything you need me to do, please tell me. I will complete it even if I need to do it until midnight.”

After he said that, the doctors in Ling Ran’s treatment group stared at each other and communicated using their eyes.

Zuo Cidian thought. ‘This man probably has no background, and when I say probably, I mean around 85%. At least, he doesn’t have anyone supporting him at Yun Hua Hospital. If he did, then he should know that midnight is the time for us to perform surgery at Yun Hua Hospital, because everyone in Yun Hua Hospital knows this. If he went and did miscellaneous tasks, does that mean that he can ignore all the important tasks?’

Lu Wenbin thought. ‘Sounds like he’s making himself sound great. Enduring hardship? Working until midnight isn’t considered enduring hardship. Have I told you about the story where I read until midnight, sleep for two hours, and wake up to cook pork trotters? I think he’s trying to draw a line for himself and let us be unable to arrange work for him. I say, could it be that someone with a powerful background had taught him about this?’

Ma Yanlin thought. ‘I’m a normal person. I had a deep sleep yesterday. I fell asleep while hugging my wife.’

“You came over for in service training. Which area do you want to focus on?” Ling Ran’s attitude was quite cordial.

He did not care what others did, mainly because the people around him always talked about what they did, and it was impossible for him to care about all that. In comparison, Ling Ran would care more about the person himself.

While facing the group of people in white coats, Ren Qi said with his normal attitude. “I’m truly lucky to be able to learn in your group, Doctor Ling. I do not mind learning anything at all, and I don’t have any specific limitations about what I want to learn. I’m willing to learn even if it’s just a little bit.”

Zuo Cidian focused his eyes and pursed his lips. This person was able to say such words without being drunk, and this showed that he could really lower his own status. This sort of person will be able to survive in places like county hospitals as long as he was a little skilled.

Zuo Cidian did not take him seriously. If this were Zuo Cidian who first came and only had the experience of working in the town hospital, he would definitely treat Ren Qi as a great enemy. However, Zuo Cidian was no longer that new resident doctor who was in his forties.

He became older.

Furthermore, Zuo Cidian had seen the way the doctors at Yun Hua Hospital did things, went to the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center at Shanghai, and accompanied Ling Ran for a freelance surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University. Thus, he slowly developed a new concept: the experts with excellent skills, especially those in rural areas, will usually be very bad when it comes to buttering up to others.

It was not that they did not butter up to anyone at all, but because they did not have many chances to learn, and their skills in buttering up to others was not sufficient. They were also not too shameless just yet.

Ren Qi was only of average skill when it came to buttering up to others, but he was shameless. That meant that he was the kind of doctor who practiced buttering up and only had average talent in this field. His skill level as a surgeon was probably not good as well. Zuo Cidian shook his head secretly. ‘Doctor Ling is not someone you can hope for support just by relying on buttering up to him.’

“What surgeries are you mainly performing now?” Zhang Anmin stood out from behindLing Ran. He purposely came over as he heard that there was a surgeon who came here for in service training, and he was even from the field of general surgery.

Surgeons who came for in service training, interns, and housemen were totally different, especially the person who came over today. A senior attending physician from the county hospital might have even performed more surgeries than Zhang Anmin. Of course, he might not be able to compare to Zhang Anmin when it came to the surgery level and quality, but that might not always be true. Yun Hua Hospital was only the top hospital at the regional level, after all, and Zhang Anmin had previously been suppressed. Before he came to Ling Ran, he never touched livers before, and he only did crude surgeries like cholecystectomy. He only got started to perform the finer surgeries within this year.

With such a background, Zhang Anmin became sensitive to surgeons who came for in service training, because both of their identities were quite similar, and theoretically speaking, general surgeries covered hepatobiliary surgery…

It can be said that Zhang Anmin’s greatest concern was the areas Ren Qi covered for his surgeries. If possible, Zhang Anmin would even want to defeat his opponent with this. After all, Doctor Ling learnt cholecystectomy from him.

Ren Qi could hardly recognize the doctors’ faces. He just smiled. “When I’m at the county hospital, I perform all surgeries in the General Surgery Department, including the commonly seen appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, cholecystitis, and also intestinal cancer surgery as well as hepatectomy for major parts of the liver…”

“You’ve done quite a lot, huh…?” Zhang Anmin was a bit jealous for some reason when he heard that.

Ren Qi chuckled. “We just do what we can do in the county hospital. Most of us are in the field of general surgery.”

“It’s impossible to learn Doctor Ling’s skill within two months. By the way, what is the best type of surgery you can perform?” Zhang Anmin could not hold it anymore and decided to make Ren Qi slightly uncomfortable, and he can already be considered to have given a chance for Ren Qi to get used to being bullied. This did not fit his status as an associate chief physician, but at this moment, who would care?

Ren Qi coughed and said, “I wouldn’t say I’m good at any of them. Most of the surgeries I do are treating appendicitis and cholecystitis …”

“Try and do it.” Ling Ran did not wait for them to continue. He waved his hand and said to Zuo Cidian, “Have him become an assistant for some surgeries.”

“Okay.” Zuo Cidian agreed and asked Ren Qi, “Is it okay if we perform surgeries until six o’clock or seven o’clock?”

“Sure, no problem.” Ren Qi immediately agreed. He smiled and said, “Sometimes, I’ll perform surgeries until around one o’clock or two o’clock in the morning.”

Zuo Cidian smiled faintly. “Sometimes we’ll do surgeries until one o’clock or two o’clock in the morning as well.”

“I know, right? I’m okay with working until seven o’clock.”

Zuo Cidian continued to smile faintly. “Have you made arrangements for your accommodation?”

“Yes. Department Director Huo arranged for me to stay at the hostel for one person.”

“Okay then.” Zuo Cidian stood up and found Ren Qi a working space.

Ren Qi watched the smiles on everyone’s faces while he remained on high alert. He quietly pulled Zuo Cidian to the side and said, “Doctor Zuo, did I boast too much just now?”

Zuo Cidian smiled warmly. “Did you boast just now?”

“I’m not too sure too…” Ren Qi said tentatively, “But I just feel like everyone wants to laugh at me…”

Zuo Cidian saw the anxiety in Ren Qi and remembered when he first came to Yun Hua Hospital. His heart went out for Ren Qi, and he reminded Ren Qi, “Since everyone wants to laugh at you, you should just let them do so. As the saying goes, just go along with the flow. If you cannot resist it, you might as well enjoy the ride.”

Ren Qi felt his heart tense. “Is… it?”

“Just listen to my advice.” Zuo Cidian patted Ren Qi’s shoulder and went away.

In the afternoon, as the other departments also got to work, Ling Ran’s treatment group was separated into three teams, and they started to work.

Today, Yu Yuan was still the one who was on duty in the Emergency Treatment, since she was weak, and it was Ma Yanlin’s turn to be the chief surgeon. Lu Wenbin and another houseman were in the other operating theater and doing surgery preparation for Ling Ran.

The first surgery in the afternoon was knee arthroscopy, which was a relatively easy surgery.

When Ling Ran went up the fray, he asked Ren Qi, “Have you done this before? Can you do it?”

“I performed two knee arthroscopies before. I should be okay,” Ren Qi immediately answered.

Ling Ran nodded and announced the start of the surgery.

The operating theater was silent.

The team was used to perform knee arthroscopies, and they were silent even when they passed the instruments and devices. Ling Ran could not even be bothered to speak.

Ren Qi looked around and remembered what Zuo Cidian had said before. He finally decided to cast away his shyness and said, “Then, let me tell the first joke. There is a rabbit and a tortoise in the jungle. The rabbit wore silk stockings and the tortoise wore…”
