Chapter 904: Combined Radical Surgery

Young Feng looked at Ling Ran with tearful eyes. She said in her weak voice, “The previous doctor said that the area of metastasis for Young Dai, my husband, is too large. The location is not ideal, thus it’s not suitable for him to receive surgery.”

“Yes. The metastasis is indeed too large, and the location is not ideal either,” Ling Ran repeated and asked, “so do you want him to receive the surgery?”

Young Feng hesitated for a while. This question covered too many aspects, to the point that she actually had to think about it carefully.

Doctor Yan, who was at the side, was very anxious.

Doctor Yan did try to compare with Ling Ran when he was performing tracheal intubation just now, but that was like a young player from a youth team trying to compare with a professional player. As an attending physician in the ICU, he had to take in multiple patients from Ling Ran every day. So, he still admired Ling Ran’s skill quite a lot.

If he did not admire him, he would not want to compete against Ling Ran.

However, it was not so easy to become Ling Ran’s patient too.

A normal doctor would admit patients according to the skills and expertise he had. Meanwhile, it also depended on what sort of patients he or she consulted during their consultation. However, the doctors did not have much room to choose when it came to patients who were transferred from the Emergency Department.

However, with Ling Ran’s level, he had more room to look for patients. Forget about everything else and just consider the patients at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. Ling Ran could just take them if he wanted them. It was pointless whether He Yuanzheng praised, cursed, or cried behind Ling Ran’s back.

Also, even in Yun Hua Hospital’s huge Emergency Medical Center, the hepatobiliary patients needed to be first screened by Ling Ran. If necessary, Ling Ran could even go through Department Director Huo to give a general screening of the patients from the Emergency Departments within Changxi Province. At the same time, he could contact all large hospitals through freelance surgery and ask their General Surgery Departments and Departments of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery to make a general screening. For doctors in high-grade hospitals, freelance surgery was not just income for them, it was also an indication of power. A freelance surgery that cost tens of thousands was in itself great reputation and recognition.

Besides, Ling Ran had great potential in admitting patients through his treatment group on Doctor’s Here.

Now, with the reputation Ling Ran acc.u.mulated over the past three years, while he might not be able to become like the specialists in the country, who could keep admitting patients into their hospitals like water pumps, Ling Ran had become the absolute authority in terms of hepatobiliary surgery within Changxi Province. He was also the greatest reason behind why so many patients came to Yun Hua Hospital for hepatobiliary surgery.

For the doctors, this meant that he had entered another stage in his medical life. Not only could Ling Ran admit patients, but he could also select and reject patients. It was through this method that research was done, how a doctor could specialize in a field, and also how a doctor could become a specialist in the first place.

From the perspective of Attending Physician Doctor Yan, Young Dai’s medical condition did not fit into Ling Ran’s surgery preference. Therefore, he was worried about Young Feng’s hesitation.

Despite that, Doctor Yan did not want to urge Young Feng to make a decision.

At the end of the day, this was a serious matter that involved life and death.

Also, Doctor Yan was not too sure about how Ling Ran thought about this. ‘Has his a.r.s.enal expanded, or is he planning to expand his a.r.s.enal?’

In Doctor Yan’s impression, Ling Ran seldom performed medical cases for terminal stage liver metastasis. Certainly, even so, Doctor Yan still believed in Ling Ran’s hepatectomy skill even if he used the strictest standards to evaluate him.

“I want him to receive surgery, but I’m not too sure what Young Dai thinks about this.” Young Feng’s eyes were filled with tears. “Chemotherapy is suffering, isn’t it?”

Of course, she knew that chemotherapy was full of suffering. She just wanted to seek some extra support.

The nurse at the side could not help but sigh and whisper, “But your husband persisted well. Didn’t he manage to get through the last chemotherapy session?”

“Young Dai is scared of pain. He persisted because of me.” No one knew what Young Feng remembered, but her tears started flowing down. They quickly slid down her cheeks and stained her clothes.

“Sigh, let’s talk outside.” Doctor Yan raised his chin and signaled the nurse to bring Young Feng out.

Young Feng stood for a while, turned her head around, and looked at Doctor Yan before she asked, “Doctor Yan, what do you think?”

In terms of trust, she obviously trusted the attending physician of the ICU more. After all, this was the attending physician from the ICU who saved her husband’s life before.

Doctor Yan thought about it and sincerely said, “Honestly speaking, if you leave your husband in the ICU, we’ll definitely try our best to save him. But cancer development is very fast. He might only be able to last for a few days, maybe more than ten, but at most, only half a year. If you want to take a gamble and give surgery a try, unless you go to Beijing, or else, within Changxi Province, Doctor Ling is your best option.”

Although he was unwilling to say the last sentence, he still said it.

Young Feng could not help but stare at Ling Ran with a surprised look. She was shocked by Ling Ran’s young looks and his skills.

However, Young Feng did not immediately make a decision. She hesitated and said again, “Doctor Ling, can I ask for Young Dai’s opinion?”

“Yes.” Ling Ran nodded without urging her to make a decision.

Young Feng immediately went to the bedside, looked at her husband, and whispered in detail into his ears.

As Young Dai laid down, his gaze gradually turned from dull to bright. After a while, he started to move his finger gently over Young Feng’s hands.

“It’s a circle.” Young Feng stood up, and she actually calmed down from her agitation.

“Circle?” Doctor Yan asked in puzzlement.

“Young Dai told me before he was admitted. If there comes a time where he can’t speak, he will do that. If he draws a circle, it means he agreed. Drawing a cross means he disagreed. He drew a circle just now. I’m sure of it…” Young Feng said, and her tears started to flow down again. “Young Dai wants to accompany me a while more…”

Doctor Yan remained silent for a few seconds and said in a low voice, “Doctor Ling.”

“Oh.” Young Feng immediately stood up and went in front of Ling Ran. She whispered, “Doctor Ling, we want to receive the surgery. Sorry to trouble you.”

“Okay. Someone will come and find you to fill in the forms and explain the situation to you.” Ling Ran nodded without saying anything else. He prepared to leave.

Young Feng nodded with tears in her eyes. She then looked at Doctor Yan and felt that Doctor Ling was more serious and aloof than this attending physician from the ICU.

Ling Ran went to the waiting room of the ICU, took his phone, and called Zuo Cidian. He did not care about how Zuo Cidian sucked in a sharp breath when he heard the task given to him. He just disconnected the call once he was done.

At the same time, the system gave him a notification.

[Are you sure you want to cancel the mission: Treat the Wounded and Sick?]

“Not canceling,” Ling Ran replied firmly. This mission would reward him with the skills to treat the heart. How could he easily give up on it?

When Ling Ran was about to leave, the system gave him another notification.

[Are you sure you want to cancel the mission: Treat the Wounded and Sick?]

Ling Ran still replied as usual, “Not aborting.”

Ling Ran moved again, and the system gave him another notification. Ling Ran rejected it again.

Once this happened multiple times, the system gave him a new notification.

[Mission: Treat the Wounded and Sick (New)]

[Mission Details: Resuscitate 10 patients in the ICU (3/10) and complete a combined stomach and liver radical surgery.]

[Reward: Master Level Cardiac Trauma Repair.]

Ling Ran stared at the mission panel, pursed his lips and simply said, “This is not reasonable. The mission content has increased, but the reward did not change at all.”

The system flashed multiple times. Then, the mission panel popped out.

[Mission: Treat the Wounded and Sick (New(New))]

[Mission Details: Resuscitate 10 patients in the ICU (3/10) and complete a combined stomach and liver radical surgery.]

[Reward: Master Level Cardiac Trauma Repair, Energy Serum x1]
