Chapter 1362: Chapter 1361
Translator: 549690339Ling ran did not really control the lower-level doctors’attendance. In fact, other than having requirements on the operating table, he basically allowed himself to do as he pleased.
Ling ran did not care whether the lower-level doctors came to work or asked for leave. He only gave them time to go to work or leave work according to his own schedule. When they arrived at the hospital and the operating theater.., most of them chose their assistants according to local conditions.
This was Ling ran’s usual style. It was also because in hospitals like Yun Hua Hospital, department director Huo, Zuo Cidian, and the others supported his extensive management.
In other words, if the doctors in Yun Hua Hospital could not stand the hard work and long learning curve, they would most likely not be able to get into a hospital of this level. At least, the young doctors in the past few years would not be able to. As for the few people under Ling ran, if they could not follow Ling ran’s schedule with self-discipline, they would not be able to stay in Ling treatment group. Just like the advanced doctors in the training camp, many of them could only last for three to four months. Some of them could not even last for three months.
Therefore, when Ma Yanlin took a break and ran to the Port District to get a school certificate, Ling ran did not bother about it at all.
!!Zuo Cidian made two phone calls, but he was stopped by Ma Yanlin. Everyone did not have much time off when they followed Ling ran, but it was not a problem for them to steal time to rest for a day or two. Zuo Cidian, for example, would take time off to visit his son, bring him to eat some good food, and then talk about what had happened recently.
Ma Yanlin naturally needed to rest, especially when his wife was studying. Whenever she went home on vacation, Ma Yanlin would be asked to rest. Sometimes, he would be forced to rest for a day or two after that. Therefore, Ma Yanlin’s disappearance for a few days was a common occurrence.
There was no need to mention Doctor Zhou. He had not repeated many of his idle reasons. Most of the time, he did not even need a reason to disappear. Moreover, he was not under Zuo Cidian’s control. He could always show his obedient side to department director Huo. It was normal for him to be in or out of the department.
Intuitive’s basic certification was very simple. It only required two days. Ma Yanlin and Doctor Zhou completed their basic certification before they brought Su Jiafu over. They studied for another two days before they quickly rushed back to Yun Hua.
At this time, Ling ran had just used all of the cadavers in Yun Hua University. He had just returned to the model of a resident hospital from the daily commute between the hospital and the school.
Ma Yanlin did not inform anyone. He quietly returned to the hospital, took a shower, and changed his clothes before he entered the operating theater.
Ling ran’s back was facing the door as he quietly performed the surgery.
Lu Wenbin stood opposite him and winked at Ma Yanlin mischievously. He then shifted his gaze to Ma Yanlin’s waist and smiled with his thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Ma Yanlin moved to the side in a funny and angry manner. He landed where Ling ran could see him without turning his head. He coughed lightly and said, “Doctor Ling, I’m back on the team.”
“Oh, Ma Yanlin, how’s Your Condition?”Ling ran asked this question from a medical, physiological, and patient-centered point of view.
However, a burst of laughter rose in the operating theater at the same time.
A few bold nurses, which was all the nurses, looked below Ma Yanlin’s lower abdomen and discussed softly in a voice that everyone could hear:
“Doctor Ma is probably really working hard.”
“That’s what happens when you don’t share good things with everyone.”
“Doctor Wei can do it too. You usually can’t tell.”
Ma Yanlin took a deep breath and answered Ling ran’s question first. “I’m in good condition, and I can start working. Besides, I’m going to the harbor area, not going home to rest.”
“If I go to the harbor area, doesn’t that mean that I can look at Victoria Bay while I work hard?”The nurses were all excited.
“I went there to play with my friends, and I also took the Da Vinci Robot Certification Test.”Ma Yanlin said another sentence. It was like a plate of freshly cut mutton, instantly suppressing the boiling water back to its calm state.
The calmness brewed for a few seconds. Then, they looked at Ma Yanlin with the hot spot of cooked and freshly cut mutton.
Lu Wenbin looked at Ma Yanlin in surprise. “It’s so easy to take the certification test?”
“It just so happens that there’s a spot available. It’s not difficult to get the certification.”Ma Yanlin smiled and looked at Ling ran, he said, “Doctor Ling, do you still remember the da Vinci we saw in southern Hubei the last time we went there? It seemed to be very useful at that time. I gave it a try, and it really worked.”.
“Why do you say that?”Ling ran was still performing the surgery. There was no joy or anger on his face.
However, the few people who were familiar with Ling ran knew that Ling ran had always been open-minded when it came to things related to surgery. Sometimes, when he performed freelance surgeries outside and met local doctors acting cool, Ling ran would seriously look at anything that was new before he would show his skills to them.
Da Vinci robots were not rare in the country. There were at least a few hundred of them now. Although they were like other high-end medical equipment, they were mainly in the Tertiary Grade A hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. They could still be seen occasionally. Ma Yanlin believed that Ling ran was definitely interested in this. It was more likely that he did not immediately get involved because of the allocation of time and energy.
This was also very normal. There was an endless stream of high-end medical equipment in the medical field. There were so many companies in the world with huge market capitalization, and the smart ones were thinking about updating and inventing new medical equipment. Every year, there would be brand new revolutionary results, however, it was impossible for clinicians to try every single one of them.
Even if it was equipment in their own field, the choices of clinicians were bound to lag behind. For example, ultrasound equipment in surgery was a new thing. However, when it came to the initial appearance, it was a long time ago. As for whether clinicians would choose, it depended on their needs and abilities, as well as the promotion of medical companies. Most of the medical conferences held throughout the year did similar things.
However, the Da Vinci robot was still quite different. Especially after he learned how to operate it personally, Ma Yanlin believed that it would be the future weapon for the next twenty years.
After considering the excuse he had thought of before, Ma Yanlin cleared his throat, he said, “The da Vinci robot has nothing to do with the robots that we usually think of. When I first heard about using robots to perform surgeries when I was in school, I thought that artificial intelligence had developed to the point that doctors were about to be eliminated. In fact, it’s not the same at all. During the process of surgery, there’s basically no direct manipulation of AI. “It’s also a tool. It’s purely for performing surgeries.”
Ling ran nodded. He did not look surprised.
“In my opinion, the Da Vinci robot is more like a high-definition 3D version of a laparoscope. In fact, that’s what it is.”Ma Yanlin looked at Ling ran, he said, “The laparoscope that you play is like an old game with 2D graphics. Da Vinci is like a new game with 3D graphics. Not only is the graphics good, the most important thing is that it has 3D modeling. The operation is actually simpler and more intuitive. “I feel that there’s no need to specialize in da Vinci at all. This is an advanced laparoscope. Whether it’s really good depends on the skills of the Doctor. But this tool is definitely much better than a laparoscope. The only reason why we don’t use it is because we can’t afford the equipment and are unwilling to learn.”
Ling ran always got to the point when he spoke. He raised his head and asked, “Do you think we should buy a da Vinci?”
“Yes, of course. This is the trend.”. It was just like laparoscopy. When it was first introduced in the 1980s, it was first used in large numbers by Americans, then by Europeans and Japanese. In our country, we were still discussing the pros and cons of laparoscopy and laparotomy. In fact, there was no need to discuss it. It was not that laparoscopy could not be performed laparoscopically. It was just that the laparoscopy in the past required a high-priced monitor and a complete set of equipment. The cost of the entire machine was expensive. When we can afford it after 2000, who would still be discussing it? which hospital would not buy it…”
Lu Wenbin moved his neck a little uneasily and interrupted, “Da Vinci isn’t cheap, right?”
“It’s at the level of ten million. Usually, it’s at least twenty to thirty million. It depends on the channel and configuration. “If you want to talk about money, it’s on the same level as an MRI. The effect can only be good. Let me give you an example.”Ma Yanlin licked his lips, he said, “I saw a da Vinci surgery in the Prince of Wales Hospital. I feel that it’s the most unique thing. When we burn tissue with a laparoscope, don’t we always burn it? They don’t. We burn it directly.”
Lu Wenbin’s expression changed.
Ma Yanlin smiled. “I asked at that time, aren’t you afraid of burning the tissue behind it? “The Doctor Who performed the surgery said that he wouldn’t because he has 3D vision and can see the depth of the tissue. It’s not like when we do a laparoscope. You can only see the plane and the two-dimensional tissue. You Don’t know how close or how far the tissue behind it is. “So, when he’s used to it, he can perform da Vinci’s surgery quickly and well…”
“Then, we’ll buy one.”Ling ran felt that he had earned enough information, and he made a decision in the blink of an eye.
Ma Yanlin was stunned. “We’ll buy it?”
“We’ll buy it.”
“If we buy the first one, we’ll need at least twenty million yuan. We’ll also need to have a dedicated operating theater.”Ma Yanlin felt guilty instead. Even though the hospital was quite rich, it was not easy to buy new equipment just because they wanted to. The new equipment usually took one or two years to be installed. The decision was made two or three years ago, and during that time, there were a lot of conspiracies and tricks. The reason why he asked Doctor Zhou to join him was because he planned for doctor Zhou to become a valuable assistant in the next one or two years..
“Go and ask department director Huo for it.”Ling ran did not follow Ma Yanlin’s train of thought at all. To him, this was like buying another MRI or CT machine. Was it expensive? Ridiculously expensive. Was it necessary? There was some demand. Should he buy it? He could just ask department director Huo to buy it. He did not need to be too long-winded and think too much.
Ma Yanlin went out of the door in a daze. He did not even say one-tenth of what he was prepared to say.
He thought about how diligent he was when he did not even have the time to go shopping in the harbor area. He thought about how tiring it was to stay up late and make plans to deal with the situation. He also thought about how shy he was when he practiced his dialogue in front of the mirror… success came so easily, and it made people unable to refuse him.
The gap in Ma Yanlin’s heart was as high as Mount Olympus.
“Department director Huo… Well, department director Huo is the real obstacle.”Thinking of this, Ma Yanlin recomposed himself and walked to the office with his head held high.
