Is there no limit to this doctor's skills?

Chapter 143: A Person Obsessed with Looks!

11 month 14 day.

The third day of the tenth lunar month, Saturday, 12:31 PM.

Trauma surgery ward, dressing room.

"It's going to be quite cold today, so we can wait a while before proceeding."

"It will take some time for the air conditioner to heat up after it's turned on," Guo Ziyuan suggested, taking into account Chi Huanlin's delicate upbringing.

Chi Huanlin shook his head first: "It's okay, Dr. Guo, I don't feel cold."

After saying that, Chi Huanlin straightened his collar and lay down, his proud neck protruding.

She tucked her left leg in and lay on her left side, giving Guo Ziyuan the maximum space to operate her right leg.

Her right hand was pulling up an oversized hospital gown trouser, and in the middle of her fair right foot, there were remnants of a bright red scar.

Guo Ziyuan's eyes were clear; after Chi Huanlin had finished preparing, he slowly peeled off the VAC dressing and other items from her legs.

The surgical wound was clearly visible. As Guo Ziyuan read it, he remarked, "The wound is healing quite well; the redness and swelling of the soft tissue have subsided, and there is almost no seepage from the incision!"

"The skin, fat, and muscle tissue are all rosy, indicating that they are in a state of inflammation repair, and the color of the bone surface has also become more normal."

"Aunt Min, this kind of wound is a sign that it's healing quite well."

"After I administer the medication now, the VAC removal and wound suturing will be performed this afternoon."

Aunt Min, who is Chi Huanlin's mother, had taken leave to come over earlier; today is the weekend.

Min Ya nodded: "Dr. Guo, my daughter said she wants to have cosmetic suturing done—and she'd like you to be the surgeon—"

"Do you think you can spare some time?"

Chi Huanlin's ears perked up as Min Yachong spoke.

Guo Ziyuan smiled and said, "Aunt Min, Professor Min explained the surgical team to me a long time ago. The surgeon who will be operating on Chi Huanlin this time is Professor Meng from the Department of Hand Surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital."

"And then there's Professor Qi from the Department of Cosmetic Surgery at Tongji Hospital, so it really won't be my turn to go on stage."

"Their stitching skills are far superior to mine."

"If Chi Huanlin wants to minimize local scarring, it would be best to entrust Professor Qi with postoperative cosmetic management."

After finishing his explanation, Guo Ziyuan added, "The local medication was administered nearly seven times, and the drug reached the affected area precisely!"

"Chi Huanlin also had a follow-up MRI yesterday, and we all feel that the local inflammation has been largely controlled."

"With anti-infective treatment, seven days is sufficient. Subsequent maintenance therapy with intravenous medication is all that is needed."

""

Min Yachong then asked, "So, Dr. Guo, you don't need to come tomorrow?"

"Yes, Aunt Min."

"Once Chi Huanlin recovers and is discharged from the hospital, and his local wound is managed, our trauma surgery treatment is basically complete." Guo Ziyuan nodded.

As they were talking, Guo Ziyuan had already finished the initial rinsing!

He turned to the side, picked up a gauze pad, soaked it with saline solution, and then picked up a special puncture needle from the operating table.

Guo Ziyuan's voice was gentle: "Chi Huanlin, there may be slight pain during the puncture, you will have to bear with it."

Chi Huanlin shook his head: "It's alright, Dr. Guo, it won't hurt."

"Dr. Guo, after I am discharged from the hospital, I will definitely treat you to a meal to express my gratitude in person."

Guo Ziyuan said with a smile, "You've already thanked me in person."

"Moreover, thanks to Professor Min's kindness, I also received my own hard-earned money."

Min Chong is indeed good at interpersonal relationships; he gave Guo Ziyuan two Ws separately!

This amount of money may not even be comparable to the appearance fees of other professors, but for Guo Ziyuan now, 20,000 yuan is a huge sum of money!

Guo Ziyuan's appearance fee is relatively the cheapest.

Min Yachong seemed to understand Chi Huanlin's meaning, and she also sized up Guo Ziyuan for a full week.

He smiled and said, "Dr. Guo, there's a difference between verbal thanks and sincere gratitude. Giving someone peace of mind makes you feel more at ease yourself."

"Xiao Chi's illness is all thanks to you. Chi Huanlin's father and I would like to invite Dr. Guo to dinner privately to express our gratitude."

"I hope Dr. Guo won't refuse."

Guo Ziyuan was too lazy to argue anymore: "Aunt Min, then I'll respectfully accept your offer."

"However, I get off work very late every day, and studying is my main task now. I'm just afraid of missing your mealtime."

Min Yachong replied, "We usually don't eat early either."

After the procedure, Guo Ziyuan simply covered Chi Huanlin's wound, and Chi Huanlin was wheeled out of the operating room by Min Ya to await further surgical arrangements.

On weekends, only a portion of the hospital staff are off work; they are not completely off work.

Guo Ziyuan was still meticulously tidying up the control panel in the control room.

A short while later, Brother Nie Yunqi slipped in from outside the control room.

"Xiao Guo, let go, let me handle the rest."

"The boxed meals and drinks are all ready."

"I'm already full, and you're still hungry. That's absolutely inappropriate," Nie Yunqi said, using his buttocks to push Guo Ziyuan out of the operating position.

Everyone knows that Guo Ziyuan was able to appear in the Department of Trauma Surgery because of Nie Yunqi, not because of Chi Huanlin.

Guo Ziyuan didn't stand on ceremony with Nie Yunqi: "Senior Brother Nie, I'll go eat now."

"I'm really hungry."

Nie Yunqi: "Of course, I was planning to let you eat before we started today, but you insisted on doing it on an empty stomach."

Guo Ziyuan smiled casually: "Let's finish our work first, then we can eat in peace."

"I'm in the emergency room now, so mealtimes are always irregular, but I'm used to it."

Guo Ziyuan walked to the sink and washed his hands: "Senior Brother Nie, I heard from my teacher that you plan to come back and guide us junior brothers again?"

Nie Yunqi: "Leading my ass! I just wanted to mention my academic qualifications, but my teacher, Professor An, thinks I'm too incompetent and is unwilling to give me a chance."

"How come the news got here?"

Guo Ziyuan frowned slightly: "Didn't Professor An agree?"

Nie Yunqi's entire body stiffened: "It's you?"

"Did you get my teacher to back down?"

Nie Yunqi wasn't stupid; he couldn't possibly be unaware that obtaining a doctorate would make it easier to succeed in the medical industry.

Does he not want to pursue a doctorate?

Even my own advisor wouldn't accept me to continue my doctoral studies.

Just two days ago, the teacher surprisingly relented.

Nie Yunqi thought that this might be because Chi Huanlin's family had spoken well of him, which was why they had kept it a secret all this time.

Nie Yunqi never expected it was because of Guo Ziyuan.

Guo Ziyuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Nie, Professor An also asked me about it, and I said you are quite outstanding."

"Professor An probably had this idea himself."

Nie Yunqi and Guo Ziyuan are only casual acquaintances now, not the close brothers who were like life-and-death friends in their previous lives.

Besides Wang Hai, Nie Yunqi ranks third in Guo Ziyuan's heart as a friend.

In his previous life, Nie Yunqi, an associate chief physician, was able to have Guo Ziyuan, an old attending physician, lead a team on his own.

Just tell them how you feel!

Even biological brothers can turn against each other when they fight over who should lead the group and how to distribute the profits!

But Nie Yunqi did it, and that's what Guo Ziyuan saw as "humanity" in Nie Yunqi!

Nie Yunqi's expression was solemn: "Xiao Guo, the words will be in the wine tonight."

97

"I brought wine to your house."

"Of course, senior brother!" Guo Ziyuan knew Nie Yunqi.

He's a typical working professional—

Poor friends eat lavish meals, while rich friends eat simple home-cooked dishes.

Add a pot of good wine, chat about everyday things, and that's enough!

"Go eat first." Nie Yunqi lowered his head and slowly began to tidy up the work surface.

When Guo Ziyuan turned around, he heard Nie Yunqi making a slight snotty sound as he wiped his nose.

It sounded disgusting, but Guo Ziyuan quickened his pace and didn't try to comfort her.

Nie Yunqi is also an adult, and a grown man at that; he can process his emotions.

Guo Ziyuan had to pass through the doctor's office to get from the operating room to the doctor's rest room. Chi Huanlin's ward was the closest single room to the doctor's office.

This is truly a VIP ward!

It allows on-duty doctors to arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

Min Ya-chong: "Why are you so mercenary? You keep praising other people who are handsome."

Chi Huanlin: "Mom, I inherited all of this from you. Grandma said you're a looks-obsessed person. You were the one who first fell for Dad."

"Don't hit me, Mom, I'm still a patient."

Guo Ziyuan stood there for a full three seconds before continuing to walk towards the lounge.

The style of Chi Huanlin and her daughter underwent a sudden change in Guo Ziyuan's mind.

But perhaps, this is actually the real Chi Huanlin and her daughter.

Guo Ziyuan recalled some experiences from his past life and gently shook his head.

To be honest, Guo Ziyuan still believes that the patient's negative transference is just that—the patient's negative transference.

No orthopedic surgeon wants to easily be with patients they've treated before.

What's the point?

Is it a picture of her fracture? Or her osteomyelitis?

Will she be unable to stand steadily in the future?

This is reality, a reality that only orthopedic surgeons truly understand.

After entering the lounge, Guo Ziyuan finally saw the boxed lunch that his senior brother Nie Yunqi had mentioned.

The food was indeed packed in a box.

But the vegetables weren't packed.

Two disposable tin boxes were used to set up the stove; one box contained grilled fish, and the other contained beef.

Three stir-fried dishes, two meat and one vegetable.

Is Nie Yunqi so jealous that he's psychologically warped and wants to stuff himself to death?

Guo Ziyuan smiled casually and then noticed that the doctor on duty, Chen Xiao, was staring at him.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Guo." Chen Xiao quickly forced a smile after seeing that Guo Ziyuan was also looking at her.

Chen Xiao and Guo Ziyuan are not familiar with each other, but Guo Ziyuan and Chen Xiao are familiar with each other.

Chen Xiao should still be in Chief Physician Liu Qingli's group now, but in three years, he will move from Chief Physician Liu Qingli's group to Chen Xinwen's group, where he will be in the same group as Nie Yunqi.

Chen Xiao is not Guo Ziyuan's "fellow student"; he is a master's student at the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital affiliated with Hunan Normal University.

In his previous life, he was Guo Ziyuan's buddy.

It's not that it's good, nor is it that it's bad; on the surface, it's all acceptable, but we just haven't been able to develop a deep relationship.

Their relationship ended there: "Brother Chen, would you like to grab something to eat together?"

Chen Xiao patted his belly: "I'll pass, I've already been fed by Brother Nie."

"What a huge loss!"

"Then I won't be polite." Guo Ziyuan smiled.

Chen Xiao asked, "Can you finish this? Want to try a couple of bites?"

Guo Ziyuan knew that Chen Xiao was still the same foodie he was in his previous life. As long as he encountered something delicious, he wouldn't let it go, even if he was already nine-tenths full.

Whenever he goes out to meet someone for a meal, he will always participate unless he has something important to do.

In fact, Chen Xiao is a very easy person to get along with; it's just that his relationship with Guo Ziyuan is based on a special bond.

Two adults can't become best friends without a reason.

"Come on, I definitely can't finish this by myself."

"We have chopsticks and all that stuff—" Guo Ziyuan said generously.

If we add two more people, all this food will be left over and wasted.

Nie Yunqi's arrangements were indeed a bit extravagant.

Seven or eight minutes later, Guo Ziyuan and Chen Xiao started chatting, mainly Chen Xiao asking Guo Ziyuan questions.

Nie Yunqi pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing the scene, he immediately frowned: "Brother Xiao, wasn't your lunchbox enough to fill you up?"

"What are you fighting over with my junior brother for?"

Guo Ziyuan hurriedly said, "Brother Nie, come join us! It'll be a waste if we can't finish all this food."

"Perfect timing, the fire is still going strong, everything is piping hot."

"Let's just consider it as a way of respecting Grandpa Yuan and trying not to waste food, okay?"

Guo Ziyuan's words made Nie Yunqi join the eating army without daring to refute.

After taking a couple of bites, Nie Yunqi said, "Xiao Guo, I'll transfer 10,000 to you later."

"You absolutely must take this—"

"Where are you going?" Nie Yunqi asked as he saw Guo Ziyuan put down his chopsticks and get up to leave.

Guo Ziyuan had already picked up his white coat: "Senior Brother Nie, weren't you telling me to leave? Am I leaving?"

"This is—a reward from my boss." Nie Yunqi didn't mention that it was a red envelope!

Although it is now 15, this practice is still prevalent, and no one will conduct extensive investigations. Even if they do, they will not be able to trace it back to a minor attending physician.

"So, Senior Brother Nie, that's for you."

"It's not for me—you can throw it away if you don't want it."

"Can I still eat?" Guo Ziyuan asked, taking the initiative.

Nie Yunqi knew that Guo Ziyuan was the kind of person who could just run out the door: "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more."

"Let's not talk about it anymore. Today, you're my older brother."

"but?"

"I should have told you that."

Guo Ziyuan then sat down and began to taste the ingredients: "The fish is very fresh, but it would be better with some more Litsea cubeba."

"The beef was a little tough, but the taste was still very good, with a numbing and spicy flavor."

"That feels so good!"

Chen Xiao looked at Guo Ziyuan thoughtfully, then tilted his head and said, "Brother Nie, your junior brother is too smart."

Nie Yunqi patted his chest: "Of course!"

"If he weren't smart, would he dare to lay a hand on Chi Huanlin?"

Chen Xiao immediately exclaimed "Huh?"

Nie Yunqi immediately explained, "What I mean is, let her be the surgeon and get involved in her diagnosis and treatment."

Chen Xiao thought about it seriously and said, "Actually, if we could really get our hands on it, that would be great."

"It can save Guo at least twenty years of hard work."

Guo Ziyuan said, "You two are going too far, giving such irrelevant suggestions."

"So, you're saying you fall in love with eight or nine women a day while seeing patients?"

Trauma surgery patients come in all genders and ages.

Guo Ziyuan used to work in the outpatient clinic, and many beautiful women came to see him.

Especially those beautiful women who have suffered sports injuries often have exceptionally slender figures.

There were even young women who had twisted their arms in bed, and they were incredibly charming.

"Just kidding, Xiao Guo." Chen Xiao knew that Guo Ziyuan was a knowledgeable person, so he quickly corrected his attitude.

This isn't some kid you can just mess with.

Guo Ziyuan was very comfortable interacting with the director and professors.

Are you just making jokes about Guo Ziyuan like that?

What gives you the right?

"Dr. Guo, could you take a look at the patients under my care later?" Chen Xiao looked at Nie Yunqi with envy and started asking for help.
