Chapter 860: We’re Just Rich

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A helicopter carrying the symbol of Jin Hui Airlines landed on the rooftop of a Bazhaixiang branch hospital. Three doctors got off the helicopter along with a patient on a stretcher.

Lu Wenbin did not wait for the helicopter to leave. He braved the wind and charged below the raging rotors to help carry the stretcher. This drew a few somewhat impressed looks from the three Yun Hua Provincial Hospital doctors.

The keyword being, somewhat.

It was kind of hard for the doctors, who were also top doctors in the area, to accept the fact that they had to personally escort the patient over.

“I’m sorry to trouble you,” the attending physician who came over in the helicopter greeted Lu Wenbin.

“What are you saying?” Lu Wenbin shouted. He could not hear what the attending physician said over the turbulent blades.

The attending physician, who was standing opposite him, shook his head. He pointed at his mouth and said, “I’ll shout from one to three, and we’ll carry the gurney together.”

As he spoke, he got into position. However, Lu Wenbin extended his hands, grabbed both sides of the stretcher, and carried it onto the gurney alone.

His arms were extremely burly, and his bulging muscles were so hard that the sight of them made the three doctors dizzy.

“Let’s get going!” Lu Wenbin growled and pushed the gurney as he walked forward.

Back in Yun Hua Hospital, Lu Wenbin had always been very generous in contributing his physical strength. He even sought out physical tasks on purpose. Not only was he spending a lot of time working under Ling Ran, but he also had to take care of his stew for pork trotters business. Hence, he had to find other ways to train his muscles as he no longer got to spend long hours in the gym.

The three doctors from Yun Hua Provincial Hospital had never seen anything like this, and they followed closely behind Lu Wenbin. Even though they felt like they were being treated with importance, they felt extremely inferior to Lu Wenbin in terms of physical strength.

The sound of the helicopter blades slowly faded. The experienced attending physician who had fallen behind smiled and said, “Treatment groups run by young people are different indeed.”

In a tertiary Grade A hospital like Yun Hua Provincial Hospital, an attending physician in their forties only if they had either offended a powerful person or because they were so bad with words that they offended people all the time.

As this was the territory of Yun Hua Hospital, the two doctors who came along with him did not feel like saying much. They merely chuckled.

“Alright, let’s see if they can handle this patient. If they can’t do it, we’ll still have to send the patient back to Yun Hua Provincial Hospital,” Cai Qiong the attending physician muttered. His task was to send the patient to Yun Hua Provincial Hospital instead of Yun Hua Hospital when needed.

But to the two younger doctors, the attending physician would just be looking for trouble if he were to do this.

If the patient was sent to Yun Hua Hospital instead, their department director would be embarrassed. But it was not like the department director could actually do anything to the attending physician, who was almost fifty years old already.

Obstinate people would only be proven as obstinate when they had a lifetime of being scolded but still retained their views. That was because they felt nothing even when they were scolded.

The three doctors walked behind Lu Wenbin into Bazhaixiang hospital branch, a subsidiary of Cangping District Hospital, in a leisurely manner.

Now that the patient was already here, there was nothing much left for them to do. Hence, they no longer felt anxious.

Cai Qiong even put on an act and walked with his hands clasped behind his back, emulating what his department director often did.

The building of Bazhaixiang hospital branch was pretty tiny. After they walked through the entrance, they reached a small reception hall that served multiple purposes. The payment counter was located there, and patients waited there for their turn. It was also where consultation and emergency treatment were carried out. Aside from this, patients also collected their examination reports in the reception hall.

Cai Qiong pursed his lips in disdain and laughed out loud. “Back when I first started working as a doctor in the nineties, a few of the departments were located in buildings like this. However, they were cleaner.”

The two resident doctors who came along with him flashed a slight smile.

“You don’t believe what I said?” Cai Qiong asked with a smile.

“I was only born in 1993,” the resident doctor who was walking behind him said in a whisper.

Cai Qiong’s face could not help but twitch a few times. When he raised his head, his field of vision became blurry because of the jarring lights.

Numerous energy saving lamps the size of a human skull were hanging from the ceiling. Even though the reception hall did not have much natural light, the place was as bright as an operating theater because of the energy saving lamps.

Not many patients and family members were there for consultation.

The other resident doctor looked around. He was trying to lighten up the atmosphere as well as satisfy his curiosity. “Where’re the patients?”

“Some of them are in the wards, and some have been discharged.” Zuo Cidian was observing the three of them first. He only stepped forward and introduced himself after hearing their conversation. “I’m Zuo Cidian from Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center. Let me find you guys a place to rest.”

“There’s no need for that. We would like to take a look at the operating theater. Isn’t Doctor Ling the best liver surgeon in Changxi Province? We would like to learn from him.” Somehow, even when Cai Qiong was saying something nice, it still sounded like a mockery.

Zuo Cidian smiled. “No problem, go ahead. Let’s get changed first, then.”

This was a rule in every hospital, and the three doctors from Yun Hua Provincial Hospital nodded.

“Let’s go this way.” Zuo Cidian opened a side door and took the lead. “Didn’t the patient’s family members come along?”

“They’re coming here by car and will probably arrive in another hour or two.” The roads in Bazhaixiang were also badly affected by the natural disaster, and Bazhaixiang hospital branch was located in a building that used to be owned by the people’s commune during the communist era. If not for the fact that the journey to the hospital would be too bumpy, they would not have needed to summon a helicopter. It was quite costly to use Jin Hui Airlines’ services.

“Can you tell us about the patient’s condition?” Zuo Cidian was still acting amicably.

“Are we talking about it here?” Cai Qiong, the senior attending physician, looked around in disdain. “Isn’t Doctor Ling participating in the consultation as well?”

Zuo Cidian smiled. “It’s better if we get started early with the preparations in case any problem were to arise. Right now, Doctor Ling is probably washing his hands already.”

“Hm… It’s exactly as I told you over the phone. There’s an abdominal puncture, with a tree branch piercing into the patient’s abdominal cavity. The bleeding is quite bad, and after initial diagnosis, it’s concluded that the liver is injured… Oh, by the way, is there enough blood in the blood bank? I reckon that the patient will lose even more blood when his abdominal cavity is opened.”

Heavy bleeding was also one of the reasons why the team from Yun Hua Provincial Hospital made a swift decision to transport the patient to Bazhaixiang hospital branch. The blood supply to the liver was very rich, and any kind of injury to it will cause the patient to lose plenty of blood.

With the situation right now, even if the village hospital under Yun Hua Provincial Hospital had enough blood supply, they did not dare to use a large amount of it. The cooling system was not working because of the natural disaster, and they were not sure about when new blood supply would be sent to them. Aside from this, they were not confident in saving a patient even if they were to transfuse a large amount of blood.

Like teams sent from other hospitals, most of the members in the rescue team Yun Hua Provincial Hospital sent over to Bazhaixiang consisted of emergency physicians and general surgeons. Even though the latter knew how to conduct liver surgeries, they found them no less dangerous.

Whenever general surgeons who were not specialized in liver surgeries carried out liver surgeries, it was just like high school students trying to solve functional equations. They might be able to do some basic ones where the diagrams were precise such as logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions and constant functions. However, if the equations were to evolve any further, they would not be able to handle it. It was just like how general surgeons would not be able to handle it if the liver injury was not a standard one.

The treatment plan the team from Yun Hua Provincial Hospital had for this kind of patient was to send them back to Yun Hua Provincial Hospital so that specialized departments could treat them. But since this plan would not work out right now, they had no choice but to entrust the patient to Ling Ran.

Doctors often meet patients who gave up on the best choice or even second best choice because of financial constraints, but it was never part of a doctor’s job scope to solve patients’ financial problems.

Zuo Cidian could kind of guess what was on the minds of the doctors from Yun Hua Provincial Hospital. He merely smiled and said, “We have prepared enough blood bags. A batch was just sent over just now.”

“Via helicopter? You guys have such a good relationship with Jin Hui Airlines?” Cai Qiong asked another awkward question.

Zuo Cidian shook his head. “We chartered a helicopter.”

“Wow, that’s intense.” Cai Qiong’s laughter was a profound one.

Zuo Cidian got a little annoyed when he heard this. He turned to look at Cai Qiong and said flatly, “We’re just rich.”
