“Thank you. Thank you very much.
“Thank you.”
Zhang Anmin could not stop bowing and saying thank you. He was excited, and he was full of gratitude.
If he had to say, the surgery today did not only allow him to try performing hepatectomy on his own, Zhang Anmin also felt that he had been baptized. He had been recognized, and the future development of his life and had been laid out.
The doctors in the visitation room stood in front of the glass wall and nodded at Zhang Anmin.
Zhang Anmin was overwhelmed with emotions. The people who came were all experts. Even if some of them were not experts, they were still his colleagues in the world of medicine. Zhang Anmin had never obtained that type of attention before in his life.
He was just a normal doctor. Although he had graduated from a better school prior to working in Yun Hua Hospital and joined the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery by chance, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that his experience of being poor was much more prominent during his life as a resident doctor to his path of becoming an attending physician instead of being a doctor itself.
He also had little sense of accomplishment, which was obtained after giving treatment to patients. However, when he reached his thirties, Zhang Anmin wanted to be recognized by his colleagues.
Zhang Anmin took a glance around, and he saw Associate Hospital Director Zhou, Department Director Lei from the Medical Affairs Department, Department Associate Director from the General Surgery Department, Department Director Huo from the Emergency Medical Center, doctors from the provincial hospital and Second People’s Hospital, and senior Attending Physician Duan Yiwen from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery…
Zhang Anmin showed a faint smile to Duan Yiwen. It was not a smile meant to show-off, but a smile that meant, “Hi, please look at my generous smile. You might not know the meaning behind my smile, but it basically means that in the future, you’re going to be subordinate, so try paying attention to your own attitude, or else I’ll definitely show you hell.”
Duan Yiwen’s expression was stiff, just like how he looked when he first heard that He Yuanzheng was ready to nominate Zhang Anmin and hire him as an associate chief physician.
Originally, Duan Yiwen still secretly dreamt that he could see Zhang Anmin failing in the surgery today, and it will be even better if he could see Ling Ran failure so that he can get rid of the displeasure from the bottom of his heart completely.
However, what Duan Yiwen saw was a hepatectomy completed by Zhang Anmin, one that Duan Yiwen himself could never hope to finish.
He did not need to think any further in this. Duan Yiwen already knew that Ling Ran had participated in this surgery, and he might have done a lot of work. However, it was surgery, and Zhang Anmin was the chief surgeon. No matter what, Zhang Anmin was the chief surgeon who independently completed this hepatectomy. Just this point alone was more than enough to hire him as the associate chief physician in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.
“Associate Hospital Director Zhou, do you want to say something?” Huo Congjun pressed the call button on the upper floor, and his voice was heard from the speakers.
The visitation room, which was surrounded by transparent glass walls, instantly became a rostrum.
Associate Hospital Director Zhou coughed and said, “The people in the room today are our first-string doctors, so I’m not going to mention the technical difficulty and meaning behind hepatectomies. It isn’t an unearned reputation for it to be known as the pearl of abdominal surgeries…”
“Abdominal pearl.” Lu Wenbin stood in the operating theater and secretly mocked what the associate hospital director said in his heart. After all, he did not press the call button, so the upper floor could not hear his voice.
Two young nurses lowered their heads and smiled lightly. They thought that even if Doctor Lu was slightly ugly even though he owned two houses and one BMW, he was still slightly humorous, which could be considered as his advantage.
“By what I saw from Doctor Zhang Anmin’s surgery…” Associate Hospital Director Zhou continued saying, “The most satisfying part is that Doctor Zhang Anmin completed the surgery all the way to abdominal closure, and he did everything according to the standard steps. It’s very good. It shows that Doctor Zhang Anmin does his work seriously and works very hard…”
It was very rare that doctors who could perform hepatectomy were willing to perform abdominal closure, so everyone nodded to praise him. They felt that Associate Hospital Director Zhou had really found Zhang Anmin’s strength, and he was not just praising him out of nothing.
Zhang Anmin showed a faint smile on his face, and he thanked Doctor Ling Ran in his heart again. In the surgery today, if he wanted to act cool, he could just leave the abdominal closure to the second assistant in the name of letting him accumulate experience.
However, the second assistant today was Ling Ran… In order to avoid being scolded, Zhang Anmin could only do the abdominal closure on his own…
When everyone, including Ling Ran, left the operating theater, the surgery officially ended.
Zhang Anmin hesitated at the door and said in a low voice, “Doctor Ling, I’ll go and wait at the recovery room now.”
“Okay. Track the recovery progress of your first hepatectomy patient for the entire day.” Ling Ran nodded in agreement. Then, he released Zhang Anmin from his daily work.
It was very common to have problems occur in the surgery done by a doctor new to the surgery because many of the segments in the surgery will not truly work just because they seem like they were similar to the model examples of how those motions were supposed to be performed. For example, experienced doctors would try their best to use less time to complete their mission using an ultrasonic knife, while new doctors would hardly know what time frame was suitable for them to finish whatever they needed to be doing with an ultrasonic knife.
This was similar to being a chef. There were certain ingredients where the time to cook them simply could not be quantified, like steak. When a slice of steak was placed on the pan, how long will it take before it was cooked to medium raw? This involved many elements.
Similarly, for doctors, if the time of contact of an ultrasonic knife on tissues was long, the protein the ultrasonic knife touched will change, and it will lose its function.
If the ultrasonic knife cut too deeply, while the effects will not be shown during the surgery, there was a possibility for massive bleeding that will cause the patient to require a second surgery. Besides, different kinds of complications could be caused by various mistakes stemmed by him accidentally touching different parts in the abdominal cavity, like bile leakage. Its probability was 1%, which meant that in a hospital that always performed hepatectomy, there would always be patients who suffered from bile leakage.
Zhang Anmin was also afraid that his patient would suffer from complications, so he immediately agreed and repeated, “Thank you, Doctor Ling.”
“You’re welcome. You did well in the surgery.” Ling Ran gave a comment.
Zhang Anmin’s blood pressure increased within a second, and he even said at a loss, “Thank you, Doctor Ling.”
“Update the medical records, make a prescription, and get another suitable case for yourself. Set your own time for all this.” Ling Ran still looked very calm.
He was now getting many patients for hepatectomy. As his reputation increased, the number of patients who came for consultation was so high that Ling Ran could not cover all of them even if he took an Energy Serum, and this happened even when he did not perform liver cancer surgery.
And based on the capabilities Zhang Anmin displayed today, while his skills might not be comparable to He Yuanzheng, if he was guided by Ling Ran, he could still perform the simplest hepatectomy.
Naturally, it was difficult to find such a simple hepatectomy like the surgery today. However, if he lowered his requirements in one or two areas, it was still possible for him to get one or two patients out of a dozen cases.
These patients were not challenging for Ling Ran, but they were quite meaningful to Zhang Anmin.
Zhang Anmin did not expect that he would have another opportunity to perform hepatectomy in such a short time, so he quickly said, “Alright, I will get a suitable one.”
“Try to get someone with a simple condition and fewer underlying diseases so that you can try your best in pursuing a good prognosis.” Ling Ran gave a suggestion, then he thought about something before he said, “Let’s try setting your standard as two to three cases per week. Do you think you can do it?”
“Of course, of course!” Zhang Anmin was so excited that he almost wanted to jump in joy.
Two to three hepatectomy surgeries in a week were considered a huge surgical volume for a doctor like Zhang Anmin, because he needed to run the complete procedure for surgery, including waiting for the patient to wake up after anesthesia, along with performing daily ward rounds. So compared to Ling Ran, who only needed to perform surgery after surgery, Zhang Anmin needed to bear a heavier burden when he performed hepatectomies.
But he was willing to do so!
At this time, a mission notification popped up in front of Ling Ran.
