GDLR - Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 6 - To the Emergency Department

Even if such an intern could not remain in Yun Hua Hospital and had to seek employment elsewhere, he would still be in a more advantageous position.

Ling Ran’s mind turned fast, thinking about what kind of decision he should make. At that moment, a line of words went across his eyes.

[Newbie Mission: Treat patients]

[Mission Details: Suture the wounds of ten patients]

[Reward: Interrupted Vertical Mattress Suturing Technique (Specialist Level)]

[Time Limit: 10 days]

‘A mission?’

There was a sudden shift in Ling Ran’s train of thought.

‘First of all, I have no mental illness, so this mission must be real, it’s not just my hallucination. Secondly, I need to complete this mission in 10 days! The interrupted vertical mattress suturing technique is a type of tension suture. It’s a common and useful technique.’

Ling Ran knew that to finish this mission, he needed to choose a department that would allow him the opportunity to carry out his mission.

‘I shouldn’t think that just because there are many patients in Yun Hua Hospital, the chances would be high for me to operate. In truth, there won’t be a chance for most interns to even touch the patients most of the time.’

Even those from the Hand Surgery Department would not recklessly send Ling Ran to the operating table just because his suturing technique was good.

The operating theater was a closed and independent space, anything could happen in there. Even a very lenient department head would still observe him for a few months before he would give Ling Ran a chance to perform a single stitch.

Ling Ran was also not the only person who wanted to operate. The young doctors who came a few years ago were most probably eyeing for a chance to perform surgery.

‘So, the only place for me to suture wounds would be…’

“Can I go to the Emergency Department?” Ling Ran gave a shocking answer.

Lei Beisha frowned, saying, “Ling Ran, you just started your internship, you should still consider familiarizing yourself with the environment. The Emergency Department is very busy, and the doctors may not have time to teach you…”

However, compared to learning from the doctors, Ling Ran was currently more willing to prioritize the completion of his mission.

“I can observe the doctors first.” Ling Ran stopped briefly, then said, “I wish to go to the Emergency Department first, then be transferred to other departments.”

Director Lei could not go back on his word in front of so many people, this was the first reward he promised. If he retracted his words just because the other party’s wish did not meet his, where would his dignity as the Director of the Medical Education Department be?

Furthermore, he still needed to arrange for students to go to the Emergency Department. If he talked about all the bad things in the Emergency Department right then, how was he supposed to allocate students to that department later?

Thus, Director Lei could only shake his head at Ling Ran’s persistence and say, “If you want to go to the Emergency Department, so be it. Well then, let’s divide ourselves into groups.”

After that, Director Lei ordered his subordinates to start calling out names and give out the cards. There were hundreds of students from different schools, and they were to be assigned into the dozens of departments in the hospital. They would then be trained in various departments through a rotation process. The schedule itself already showed that there was quite a lot of work to be done for the interns.

Everyone obtained a number plate and a username with a password, which could be used for checking into the official website for their internship arrangements. Ling Ran got his number card last. Clearly, his schedule had been rearranged.

Kang Jiuliang left early. Lei Beisha said a few more words before he, too, left the simulation training space, leaving the students to draw lots in a rowdy manner. All of them wanted to try their luck with entering the small operating theater.

As his roommate, Chen Wanhao felt sorry for Ling Ran, saying, “You should’ve at least chosen the Hand Surgery Department. I can tell that you made a good impression on Dr. Kang. I think you would’ve probably learned some real stuff from him.”

“I highly doubt your judgement because of that big red stethoscope you bought.” Wang Zhuangyong showed his skepticism.

Ling Ran did not even bother explaining his actions. Instead, he asked, “Where are you two going?”

“I’m going to the Thoracic Department. It’s a little too early for me though,” Chen Wanhao said with a heart full of regret.

Wang Zhuangyong answered nonchalantly, “I’m going to the Medical Laboratory Department. Oh well, I’ll have to go there sooner or later anyway.”

They were living in a dorm which was not fully occupied. There were only a total of three members in it, but fate had it so that they were sent to three different departments.

Wang Zhuangyong sighed involuntarily. His voice was filled with a melancholy as he spoke. “It looks like today we’ll be starting our journey on three different paths—”

Without hesitation, Chen Wanhao interrupted his very good friend Wang Zhuangyong in his brief sentimental moment, “We’re going to perform surgery while you’re going to play with poo, of course it’ll be different.”
