Once he had sent the exhausted Chief Physician Wang back to his office, Ling Ran found himself not in a hurry to return to the operating theater.
There were two patients who required finger replantation surgeries today. Although they had been chosen by Chief Physician Wang Haiyang, they were still patients from the Emergency Department. They also slept in the Emergency Department's ward, which meant that they occupied two beds.
And beds were resources that the Emergency Department lacked the most right now.
Fortunately, the Emergency Department had their own building, which meant that they had a chance to expand their department. Once renovations were completed for the new observation room, they can add almost thirty new beds, which meant they could have about seven to eight wards. Furthermore, they could also clear up a part of the storeroom and renovate it into a rehabilitation room.
