Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What Doctor Ling is performing right now is the Pringle maneuver, which he often uses to interrupt hepatic blood flow. Based on the analysis report of the 1,500 cases of hepatectomy he had done, the prognosis for the patients who received the Pringle maneuver is among the top… Doctor Ling uses some special techniques when it comes to the interruption of hepatic blood flow. As we can see…

“The presence of gastric varices is extremely bad for hepatectomy. Because of this patient’s habit of long-term alcohol consumption, he also has other symptoms such as gastric ulcer and gastrorrhagia. But his gastric varices aren’t very serious… Hm, when it comes to dealing with gastric veins, Doctor Ling has some special techniques. We can visibly observe that…

“Portal hypertension is one of the most important things to watch out for during hepatectomy, and it is also something difficult to deal with. Many doctors are very careful with patients with portal hypertension. Of course, we are also very careful with patients with portal hypertension. However, Doctor Ling has some special techniques when it comes to dealing with patients with portal hypertension. As all of you can see…”

Yu Yuan was standing at the frontmost of the visitation room. She was akin to a superhero who was good at being invisible, as she was so short that people could barely see her. She spoke in a loud voice and explained every single detail of the surgery to the audience.

At the same time, Yunli Medical Company had also hired professional videographers to live-stream the entire surgery together with Yu yuan’s commentary.

Yunli Medical Company had been doing an increasing number of such live streams, so the videographers were already very skilled at them. Even though they were unable to capture Yu Yuan’s figure, her voice could be heard perfectly in the stream.

As for the audience, today’s surgery felt rather dramatic.

At first, they would look nonchalant as they were mere spectators. After that, they would look annoyed because of how much Yu Yuan was speaking, and they felt like they already knew about what Yu Yuan was explaining. They would then look irritated, because Yu Yuan always stopped once she revealed sufficient information instead of everything that she knew, because she obviously knew more than what she said. In the end, they would be shocked at how high the standard of the surgeries nowadays was. Yu Yuan could see the change in the audience’s expression, and it stimulated her so much that the more she spoke, the more excited she became.

Hospital Director Bo was a little excited too. All doctors would be naturally excited to see almost perfect surgery.

This was especially true when he looked at Lao Yongyong, the primary care physician of Tonca Group who was sitting beside him. He even felt a little proud of Ling Ran.

It was a strange state of mind. Whenever Huo Congjun and the others boasted about Ling Ran in front of Hospital Director Bo, Hospital Director Bo would have a slight desire to rebel. But now that he was dealing with the arrogant primary care physician of Tonca Group, the situation was reversed.

Not only was boasting about Ling Ran psychologically satisfying for Hospital Director Bo, but it was also good for his business.

“Doctor Lao, isn’t Doctor Ling, whom I have introduced to you, really good at hepatectomy? Truth be told, even if you were to get a doctor from Mayo Clinic, he might not be better than Ling Ran,” Hospital Director Bo whispered to Lao Yongyong as he stared at the large screen before him. There was a slight smile on his face, and there was a boastful pride in his voice, which was typical of businessmen.

Lao Yongyong was more focused on how boastful Hospital Director Bo was. He decided to turn Hospital Director Bo’s words against him and laughed out loud. “We all know how excellent doctors in Mayo Clinic are. Forget about the ordinary doctors there, but if we were to compare ourselves with the top doctors there, it’s obvious that the doctors in China still have plenty of room for improvement. Just take a look at the five-year survival rate of liver cancer patients who received treatment in Mayo Clinic, and then at the five-year survival rate of locally treated liver cancer patients. Hehe…”

“Mayo Clinic is excellent as a whole, and they aren’t renowned because of a single good surgeon,” Hospital Director Bo retorted amiably and continued with an underlying meaning in his words, “Even if you were to hire a surgeon from Mayo Clinic to operate on this patient, without his corresponding team from Mayo Clinic, the patient’s prognosis might not be as good as how it would be if he was treated by this team in Yun Hua Hospital. You have probably taken a look at the data related to Ling Ran’s team, isn’t it? Whether it is ordinary hepatectomy or hepatectomy for patients with liver cancer, the patients’ five-year survival rate is basically perfect. He’s a gifted child of God indeed…”

“I don’t believe in talent. I don’t believe that people are either talented or not talented.” Lao Yongyong waved in dismissal, and there was absolute certainty on his face.

Unlike primary care physicians in Europe and the United States, primary care physicians like Lao Yongyong made a name for themselves through the trust of the family they serve. After serving that family for a long time, they would slowly elevate themselves to that family’s status.

However, compared with the primary care physicians of rich and powerful families in developed countries, Lao Yongyong’s abilities left a lot to be desired for.

After all, if Lao Yongyong was capable of rising to a higher position such as department director or even chief physician, he would not have become the private doctor for a private enterprise like Tonca Group. Even though highly skilled doctors of his age would need to fight hard to become the personal physicians of leaders, being the primary care physician of powerful families was nothing but a leftover job.

Hospital Director Bo was even starting to suspect that Lao Yongyong was privately working together with another medical intermediary. After all, Lao Yongyong was absolutely adamant in defending American doctors, a little too adamant, actually. Even if he were to speak highly of foreign doctors, he did not have to speak highly about American doctors. Other countries like Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom had renowned and highly skilled doctors too. It was also easier to work together with doctors from those countries.

However, Hospital Director Bo had no choice but to keep his suspicions in mind and not vocalize it.

If he were to refute Lao Yongyong with this speculation, Lao Yongyong would just attack him and say that he was not capable enough to provide medical services of an equal standard. Of course, it was true that Hospital Director Bo did not have many American contacts. But he had no intention of revealing this weakness.

“Doctor Lao, why don’t you forward the footage of Doctor Ling’s surgeries to the foreign doctors that you want to invite? Let’s see how they respond to those footages.” Hospital Director Bo tried to convince Lao Yongyong from another perspective.

However, Lao Yongyong’s expression changed. He looked insulted as he said furiously, “Are you trying to say that I do not understand Doctor Ling’s maneuvers?”

“No, you’ve misunderstood my intentions.” Even though Hospital Director Bo shot down the notion, he immediately understood something. ‘This old thing doesn’t understand Doctor Ling’s maneuvers.’

Hospital Director Bo immediately became exasperated and upset at the same time. He had forgotten about how Lao Yongyong had never made a name for himself for being skilled back when he was working in a government hospital. People in the field of medicine used to talk about how he was good at nothing but “maintaining a patient’s health”…

Hospital Director Bo had no particular dislike for this kind of person. In his opinion, there are a lot more unskilled doctors than skilled doctors in the world, and the existence of unskilled doctors was only natural. Even if an untalented doctor were to try his best to catch up with other doctors and become an average doctor, no one would be impressed by his skills. Even if a doctor was among the top ten percentile of all the doctors in the world, he would be nothing but ordinary in the eyes of a patient in a tertiary Grade A hospital.

Lao Yongyong was quite old, and he had long since ceased to be a frontline doctor. Back when he was working in a hospital, he might not even have performed hepatectomy. Even if he had done so, the maneuvers that they used back then were a lot different than the modern ones. He may have also forgotten everything.

When he thought of that, Hospital Director Bo became even more confident. He looked solemnly at Lao Yongyong and said, “Doctor Ling is definitely one of the most skilled liver surgeons in the world. The director is hiring a doctor who can save his life, so I think that we need to look at the bigger picture.”

Hospital Director Bo’s gaze became sharper and sharper as he spoke. Even though he was a medical intermediary, his job involved the lives of people, and being a yes man would not do his business any good.

Lao Yongyong felt a little bit uncomfortable when Hospital Director Bo looked at him like that. He took a deep breath and said in a slightly more amicable tone, “Aren’t we taking him into consideration right now?”

“Then, you would have to take information from various sources into account,” Hospital Director Bo said and looked at the screen again.

Lao Yongyong did not bother to say anything either. He was also looking at the screen. Ling Ran’s hands which were clad in a pair of blue gloves were moving nimbly as he made a surgical knot. For some reason, Lao Yongyong felt glum when he saw this.
