[Mission Details: Cure Xue Guixiao, retain his self-care skills, and let him live with dignity . ]
[Reward: Right Hemicolectomy (Master Level)]
Ling Ran chose right hemicolectomy from the mission prompt . There was no special reason for it . Right hemicolectomy could be used to treat the appendix, whereas left hemicolectomy could be used to cut the sigmoid colon . Ling Ran did not want to cut either, so he randomly made a choice .
The mission prompt reminded Ling Ran of something . It made him naturally turn toward the ward in the General Surgery Department .
Xue Guixiao had been transferred from the special care unit to the general ward .
He was placed in a four-person room with an attached bathroom in the ward . The environment could not be considered very good, but the hygienic condition was not bad .
When Ling Ran entered the room, he saw Xue Guixiao half-reclining against his bed and boasting to another patient . “You can’t wait when you meet an important person, understand? You need to take more initiatives, just like me . In my twenties, I prayed when I came upon a mountain and donated when I saw a temple, but my partner was most displeased . Now… Of course, I don’t want to tell her now, but when I meet her, I must talk to her properly…”
“You’ve prayed for twenty years, and you only met one important person? It’s not worthy, right?” An old man who looked like a cadre sat at the corner of the ward and frowned as he heard this, so he deliberately said, “If you have prayed for twenty years, you should have at least prayed to the point that you turned into an important person, right?”
Xue Guixiao did not like this man, so he ignored him . “As long as my son treats me well, then it’ll be alright . Who knows what will happen in the future?”
Among the four patients in the room, Xue Guixiao’s son came the most frequently, so other people could not pick any fault in it .

The old cadre only smiled and said, “Honestly, the job your son found is to deliver goods to others and escort other delivery trucks, right? The salary is quite high, but the job is exhausting . If I really want to, I can get one too . ”
“If you can get one, why are you still staying in the same room as me?” Xue Guixiao became unhappy, so he sounded meaner .
The cadre burst out in laughter . “In a place like Yun Hua Hospital, it’s enough for a general civil servant like me to stay in the general ward . I don’t need to cause trouble about it . This is totally different from looking for a job . ”
When he said this, he looked at the door and saw Ling Ran .
He did not know Ling Ran, but when he saw him in his white coat, he did not say anything . He just quietly stared at Ling Ran .
“Doctor Ling . ” When Xue Guixiao looked over, he instantly became excited, and he quickly said, “Doctor Ling, I was thinking about when I should visit you and thank you for your help…”
Compared to before, Xue Guixiao’s attitude was much better now . Perhaps it was because Zuo Cidian boasted about Ling Ran too much, and the job Xue Guixiao got was also because of Ling Ran .
Ling Ran did not reject his gratitude, yet he did not admit to it . He just said, “How’s your recovery? I’ll perform a physical examination for you . ”
“I’m in great health,” Xue Guixiao quickly answered before he continued, “At that time, Director Liu also said that it’s you who looked for the director of their company and arranged a job for my son . My son works very seriously, so please rest assured… Sigh, there are still many good people in the world…”
“Please lay down properly . ” At that moment, Ling Ran felt slightly regretful that he did not bring anyone along, especially when the patients’ families surrounded him . Ling Ran felt extremely stressed when he sensed the need for him to communicate with these people .

Ling Ran’s fingers moved away from the wound, and he pressed lightly against a spot while he asked, “How do you feel these days? Is your wound hurting you?”
“It was slightly uncomfortable and itchy yesterday, but I feel better today . The nurse who changed my dressing was also very careful…” When Xue Guixiao answered, he lowered his voice and said, “um… Doctor Ling, my son says that the hospital bill can be claimed from the medical insurance of his company . Is it full coverage?”
“I don’t know about the exact situation . ” Ling Ran thought for a while before he answered, “If Zuo Cidian told you so, that should be it . ”
Xue Cuixiao instantly felt relieved . He laid on the bed without moving and allowed Ling Ran to perform the physical examination on him .
When the examination ended, Xue Guixiao coughed and said, “Doctor Ling, um… I have a few relatives in my hometown who don’t have much money to go to a doctor, so can I bring them over for you to take a look…?”
Ling Ran gave him a puzzled glance before he asked, “What illness?”
Xue Guixiao laughed and said, “It’s not about the illness, it’s mainly because they don’t have money . ”
Ling Ran stared at him for two seconds before he asked, “Why do they need money?”
Xue Guixiao said, “To… see a doctor…”
“What illness?” Ling Ran repeated .
Xue Guixiao was stunned by Ling Ran’s “strict” logic for a few seconds before he answered, “They do not have any serious illnesses . They just have chronic illnesses like stomach ulcers, enteritis, and heart disease…”
“Currently, I’m the best at hepatectomy, followed by appendectomy, splenectomy, Achilles tendon repair, and finger replantation . It’ll only be suitable for them to come to me if they need treatment in this area . ” Ling Ran’s answer was direct yet confusing as usual .
Xue Guixiao did not know what to say for a moment .
“Doctor Ling, let us take over the remaining work . ” A doctor from the General Surgery Department entered the room to solve the problem .
Ling Ran nodded . Then, he stood up with natural grace and left the room .
Two doctors of the General Surgery Department followed him tightly .
It was slightly weird for a doctor from the Emergency Medical Center to come to the ward of the General Surgery Department for a ward round . After all, the General Surgery Department was not a place like the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, so it was impossible for them to let anyone come and go as they please .
The doctors of the General Surgery Department stared at Ling Ran sternly .
“Doctor Ling, you should not repeatedly give free treatment to patients . You can’t take care of their entire family either . ” The attending physician from the General Surgery Department talked as if he was experienced and acted like he was giving Ling Ran a lecture .
Xue Guixiao’s case was not a secret to the doctors in the General Surgery Department, or rather, it should be said that any doctor might harbor sympathy at certain periods of time, but the frequency in which it occurred was different, and the intensity of their sympathy shown was also different .
The attending physician from the General Surgery Department had been hearing compliments about Ling Ran over the past few days . Although there were constantly young nurses who would praise Ling Ran at random like they were some rabid fangirl, the frequency in which this happened over the past few days was a little too high .
If the situation called for it, the attending physician might even have to criticize Ling Ran a little .
However, Ling Ran seriously thought about it for a few seconds before he said, “Xue Guixiao only introduced a few relatives over . He did not ask me to take care of his whole family . ”
“This is something you can conclude through some basic analysis, right? He won’t just ask you to take care of his entire family in the future, his family and friends will all come to you . ”
Yet Ling Ran shook his head .
“Do you not believe me?” The attending physician raised an eyebrow .
“When you experience more, you will know that there are many kinds of patients . ” The attending physician sighed . No one knew whether he was sighing about the world or whether it was because Ling Ran refused to cooperate with him .
Ling Ran still smiled calmly . “I’ll handle my patients first . ”
The attending physician said, “There will be a time where you can’t take care of everyone . ”
Ling Ran lowered his voice and said, “We’ll talk about it when I really can’t take care of them . ”
