Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

Chapter 34, First Main Surgeon

For a doctor, the first surgery they perform is like a man's first time—full of anticipation, nervousness, and excitement.

I'm so excited, I'm rubbing my hands together!

Wang Xiaobei, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.

I looked at summer.

Then I looked at Director Zhang Ming.

I'm heartbroken.

We are different!

"Dr. Xia is an excellent and experienced doctor. The appendectomy is very simple and can be completed in about half an hour."

"You don't need to worry."

"In addition, I will serve as Dr. Xia's second assistant."

Zhang Ming winked at Xia Tian.

Follow me, and you'll get to eat meat.

Summer suppressed his excitement and tried his best to remain calm. As long as the patient's family signed the surgical agreement, he could prepare for the surgery.

The two family members glanced at Xia Tian at the same time, and said to Zhang Ming in surprise.

"Didn't you perform the surgery?"

The two exchanged a glance, then turned their gaze back to Xia Tian, and the patient's mother muttered something.

"This doctor is way too young!"

"You're using my son as practice, aren't you?"

The patient's father frowned and looked Xia Tian up and down.

"Dr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I know that appendicitis is a minor illness and a very simple surgery for you doctors, but as parents, we are still a little worried."

"Please, please have the surgery."

Summer is still too young...

In most people's eyes, the older a doctor is, the stronger their skills and the more experience they have. Normally, this idea is not wrong.

But Xia Tian is a man with a system.

The system gave him an appendectomy on his very first day, and he's a world-class master at that.

Looking around, there wasn't a doctor in the entire provincial hospital better than Xia Tian.

but……

Since the patients don't need him, he can't just stand up and say it directly.

I'm awesome!

Believe in Lao Tzu and you will have eternal life!

Xia Tian smiled and said to Zhang Ming, "Director, let's do it the way the patient's family wants. You can do it."

Zhang Ming glared at him.

You silly boy!

You have to fight for love!

Zhang Ming refused to give up and told the couple, "My schedule is full for surgeries this afternoon. There are no doctors at the provincial hospital available to operate on patients right now. If you insist on waiting, you'll have to wait until three days from now."

"The patient has acute appendicitis. Although he has been given painkillers, the pain will not go away."

"Without Dr. Xia, the patient will only suffer for three days, or... you could consider transferring to another hospital."

Transfer to another hospital!!!

Zhang Ming's words shocked everyone around him.

Zhang Ming would rather not take on any other patients than not give the surgery to Xia Tian.

This friendship!!!

Even summer was moved.

It's said that Zhang Ming's daughter is of average appearance. You might want to get to know her if you have the chance, since... they all look the same when the lights are off.

"this……"

The patient's family hesitated.

The patient's mother glanced at her husband and asked in a low voice, "What should we do? Should we use Dr. Xia?"

Judging from the looks of it, this family is run by the father.

After frowning and hesitating for a few seconds, the patient's father said to the group, "Let's discuss this. Please wait a moment."

The patient's father took out his phone and made a call to inquire.

Zhang Ming patted Xia Tian's chest and said with a smile.

"You should get ready. Are you nervous about your first surgery?"

"I'm not nervous," Xia Tian shook her head.

It's impossible not to be nervous, after all, it's my first time...

But with the support of the system, he can confidently perform the surgery perfectly.

Ten minutes later.

The patient's father came over and said with a hint of regret, "Director Zhang, I'm sorry."

Before he could finish speaking...

A crisp sound rang out.

"Dr. Xia!"

Then, a young man walked over with a middle-aged couple. The young man pointed at Xia Tian and said to the middle-aged couple.

"Uncle and Aunt, this Dr. Xia diagnosed Ningning with colon cancer, not appendicitis."

"If it weren't for Dr. Xia, Ningning would have been misdiagnosed."

"We won't detect colorectal cancer. Director Qian said that because colorectal cancer is detected early, it can be treated with just one surgery, and chemotherapy may not even be necessary. We are so grateful to Dr. Xia."

The young man was none other than the boyfriend of the patient with early-stage colon cancer.

That day, he brought the patient to the hospital. The patient was initially diagnosed with acute appendicitis. However, through Xia Tian's efforts, they were able to get Dr. Qian from the proctology department to come and diagnose the patient with colon cancer, not appendicitis.

Early-stage cancer is difficult to detect.

The cure rate is very high.

Summer's perseverance allowed the patient to discover the illness early, thus enabling a cure.

The patient's family came specifically to thank Xia Tian.

"Hello, Dr. Xia."

"Thanks to you, Ningning's condition has been stabilized. You are a great benefactor to our family."

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

The patient's parents took out a huge red envelope.

With Zhang Ming present, Xia Tian dared not accept the offer.

He quickly returned the red envelope and said righteously.

"It is our duty as doctors to treat and save lives. It is our responsibility to detect patients' conditions as early as possible and help them get rid of their suffering."

"No need for gifts or anything like that."

"After being discharged from the hospital, the patient needs to rest well and should not eat takeout or similar food anymore."

"Restoring health to the body is the greatest reward for us doctors."

The patient's parents were in tears. Their daughter had been diagnosed with cancer at such a young age, and they were heartbroken. Fortunately, the cancer was discovered early, and the chances of her recovery were very high, which brought them a great sense of relief.

The patient's mother repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Xia Tian, and even tried to kneel down, but Xia Tian helped her up.

"Dr. Xia, thank you so much."

"You are a great benefactor to our family."

Before leaving, the three of them bowed deeply to Xia Tian.

Summer returned the bow.

At the same time, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He feels a deep sense of satisfaction every time he cures a patient.

That's the allure of being a doctor.

After a moment of reflection, he turned to look at the parents of the appendicitis patient and said calmly.

"Although I am young, my medical skills are beyond question."

"I can guarantee 100% that the appendectomy will go smoothly."

"But you still don't believe me, and there's nothing I can do about it."
