This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

At this moment, Chen Ming and Li Yaping exchanged a glance and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Zhou Cheng's technique was too amazing, but most importantly, it was his mindset!

Faced with such a tortuous blood vessel, he was able to remain calm and composed, operating like a seasoned veteran, showing no trace of a novice.

Director Chen Ming went over to check the angiography images and confirmed that the guidewire had indeed passed through the blocked area smoothly.

"Well done, great job!"

Li Yaping, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly, his words full of admiration: "Even experienced interventional surgeons would have a lot of trouble with this vascular condition, and you, a novice, succeeded on your first try!"

Zhou Cheng smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he immediately adjusted his posture, preparing to cooperate with Director Chen Ming and Li Yaping to carry out the subsequent balloon dilation and stent implantation procedures.

Just then, nurse Zhao Wenqi walked over with her phone and said to Director Chen Ming, "Director Chen, I just called Director Wu and told him about the patient's condition and the progress of the surgery. He said the situation was urgent and he had already left home and was on his way to the hospital. He should be able to get to the interventional operating room in about ten minutes."

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback; he had forgotten about this.

I was worried about the patient's safety and didn't even consider that Zhou Cheng would succeed, so I immediately called for reinforcements.

We can't exactly call them back now, can we?

If any further problems arise, it will be impossible to invite someone else over.

Director Chen could only nod and say, "Okay, I understand."

Zhou Cheng continued to work with the nurses to prepare the instruments needed for the subsequent surgery.

However, everyone knows that Director Wu, as the first person in interventional cardiology at Jinghua Hospital, has extremely rich experience.

With him overseeing the operation, the success rate will be even higher.

……

Inside the interventional operating room, the atmosphere remained tense, but everyone's faces showed a newfound confidence.

Meanwhile, Wu Chunbo, the director of the cardiology department, was rushing to the emergency interventional room after receiving a call from the emergency department.

He sat in the ambulance arranged by the hospital, still dressed in casual clothes, his brows slightly furrowed, his gaze fixed on the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, his expression somewhat solemn.

Sitting next to him was his capable assistant, Hu Jia, a key doctor in the interventional cardiology team.

Hu Jia looked somewhat reluctant and remained silent for a moment before finally speaking up: "Director Wu, there's really no need for us to rush over there."

"Think about it, this is the first surgery performed by the emergency interventional team. The patient is our competitor. If they can do it well on their own, they will definitely use the reputation of this surgery to gradually expand their scale. At that time, our voice in interventional cardiology will definitely be affected."

Hu Jia's tone was full of confusion, and even carried a hint of selfishness.

"Besides, they said on the phone that the patient's condition was very critical, and the blood vessels were in extremely poor condition. Chen Ming and Li Yaping couldn't handle it together, so they called you."

"In my opinion, they are unlikely to be able to perform this surgery well. If they fail this time, not only will the reputation of the emergency interventional team plummet, but the hospital will also be less likely to provide them with resources. This is actually a good thing for our cardiology department, as it will prevent them from developing wildly in the future and competing with us for patients and resources."

Wu Chunbo turned his head and glanced at Hu Jia, but did not speak immediately.

The only sound in the carriage was the siren of an ambulance.

Hu Jia assumed Wu Chunbo had tacitly agreed with her statement and continued, "You are the leading interventional cardiologist at Jinghua Hospital. Our cardiology department's position in the interventional field is already unshakeable. The emergency interventional team is a newly established, novice team. Chen Ming didn't come from an interventional background, and although Li Yaping has experience, his abilities are just so-so. There's also a novice who's only performed two surgeries. How could they possibly handle such a complex case?"

"If we go there and help them perform the surgery well, we will get some credit, but the emergency interventional team will get even more. They will say that they completed the first surgery under your guidance, which will not only enhance their reputation but also show that they are capable."

"But if we go and the surgery still fails, it will damage the reputation of our cardiology department. People will say that even you, the number one interventional surgeon, can't handle an emergency interventional surgery."

Hu Jia became more and more agitated as she spoke, and her reluctance became increasingly apparent in her tone.

"Look, if we rush over there now, it won't do us any good no matter what the final result is. It's better not to go and let them deal with it themselves. If it really doesn't work out, the hospital will naturally come to us again, and then we can take action. The initiative will be in our hands."

Wu Chunbo sighed softly and slowly said, "Xiao Hu, you're thinking too simply and too pragmatically. We are doctors first, and cardiologists second. Patient safety is always our top priority; competition between departments can only come second."

He paused, then looked back out the window.

"The patient is Zhang Lei, an attending physician in our hospital's orthopedics department. He works very hard and this time he suffered a sudden myocardial infarction. His condition is so critical. How can we just stand by and watch him die because of departmental competition? Besides, since Chen Ming and the others called me for help, they trust me. Regardless of whether they can do it well, I have to go. This is my responsibility as a doctor and my duty as the head of the cardiology department."

Hu Jia looked indignant and tried to argue, "Director Wu, I didn't mean to stand by and watch someone die."

"I think we don't need to be in such a hurry, nor do we need to take matters into our own hands. Sending a regular doctor over to provide guidance would be enough. It would be beneath your dignity to go there in person."

"Moreover, the development of the interventional group in the emergency department is really not good for us. In the future, the hospital's interventional resources will definitely be tilted towards them, and our cardiology department will only have fewer and fewer patients."

"Losing value?"

Wu Chunbo shook his head, his tone becoming serious.

"In the face of life, there is no such thing as losing face. A doctor's duty is to save lives and heal the wounded. No matter who the patient is or what department the surgery is in, if help is needed, we cannot refuse. As for departmental competition, I am never worried. The strength of our cardiology department is not gained by suppressing others, but by the recognition of each surgery and each patient."

He looked at Hu Jia and continued, "Do you think that I went there this time just to help the emergency department interventional team?"

"No!"

"I have other considerations. If I can go there this time, even if it's just to sit on the sidelines, and if they encounter any problems later, I can step in in time to turn the tide. Wouldn't that indirectly prove the strength of our interventional cardiology department? Prove that my reputation as the number one interventional cardiologist is not just empty words."

"At that time, the hospital and patients will see that no matter how complicated the interventional surgery is, our cardiology department can handle it; even if the interventional team in the emergency department can't handle the case, as long as we take action, we can turn the danger into safety."

"In this way, it will not only not affect the status of our cardiology department, but will further consolidate our advantages and make more patients trust our cardiology department. This is much more effective than suppressing the interventional group in the emergency department."
