Healing Doctor

Chapter 106 is about fish!

"What kind of patient?" Ji Xiang asked after Mr. Wu hung up the phone.

"Another testicular torsion," Mr. Wu said with particular helplessness. "Dr. Ji, do you know why I'm so cautious?"

"Because you recruit patients?" Ji Xiang asked.

He recalled what the system NPC had said about the unlucky doctor who had encountered six cases of rib fractures combined with aortic dissection in eight years.

"Sigh, don't even mention it." Dr. Wu was dejected, but he quickened his pace, almost running to the emergency room. "The number of testicular torsion cases I saw in my first three years as a resident didn't equal the number I saw in a single month. I encountered four on my very first day as a resident!"

"Tsk tsk," Ji Xiang sighed, "this luck is truly unparalleled."

"If you walk by the river all the time, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Be careful, they might get dry." Mr. Wu jogged straight to the emergency department, complaining all the while, "I regret it so much now. I should have studied dentistry back then. Let me tell you, Dr. Ji, I have a classmate who, back when the licensing system wasn't strict, ended up switching to dentistry."

"Extraordinarily good?"

"Not counting the company, the first year at the clinic is 5. In the second year, once you have a certificate, it depends on the workload. Generally, the commission is 15% to 20%. If the monthly workload is 10, the monthly salary can reach 1.5 to 2."

"A root canal and porcelain crown for one front tooth costs 2 yuan, and that's a fair price. You can do 50 front teeth a month. I'm asking you, isn't that simple?"

At the professor level, a full mouth implant can be completed in one day for 30 yuan, and 10 implants in a month for 300 million yuan. The commission would be around 50 yuan.

This was done by an expert professor; junior dentists shouldn't even think about it. A graduate with a degree in oral medicine or oral technology will only earn around 3,000 yuan a month. With three years of hard work, you can earn 7,000 to 10,000 yuan a month.

"Putting aside the question of income, they don't have emergency services!"

"Men fear choosing the wrong career, women fear marrying the wrong man; Dr. Ji, you must choose carefully!"

Ji Xiang knew that General Manager Wu was saying these things for his own good, and they were heartfelt words of kindness.

This person is good; I can befriend him.

Upon arriving at the emergency department, the exhausted emergency surgeon pointed to the emergency resuscitation room. "Inside, the ultrasound has already been called for you. I say, Dr. Wu, when are you going to stop being the chief resident?"

"Do you think I want this? If four emergency rooms come in today, I'll quit tomorrow. This is too much trouble."

After Mr. Wu finished speaking, he was already in the emergency room.

This patient's symptoms are quite typical, making it difficult to misdiagnose; the various symptoms clearly indicate testicular torsion.

As usual, Mr. Wu first had a physical examination, and then took out the ultrasound machine himself after confirming the diagnosis.

"Doctor, can't we just reposition it directly?" the patient's family member asked.

"Checks are always necessary." Mr. Wu applied coupling gel and quickly pressed it onto the reset area.

"It's so obvious, why do we still need to do tests!" The patient's family member said, slightly displeased.

"Oh, what are you saying?" Mr. Wu said. "Emergency room procedures are cheaper than normal ones. We're doing an ultrasound to check blood circulation for safety, aren't we?"

"Abnormal blood flow on the left side, confirmed torsion, Xiao Ji, prepare to reposition." Mr. Wu looked at the ultrasound machine and spoke about what he saw, looking very professional and quite dashing.

Ji Xiang began the repositioning procedure. He had practiced it thousands of times in the operating room and had encountered all sorts of difficult cases. This "simple" repositioning was no challenge for him.

The repositioning was completed in one minute, and the effect was immediate; the patient felt much better right away.

An ultrasound confirmed that blood circulation had been restored. Following procedure, Ji Xiang performed further examinations, completing the repositioning process in one session. The patient underwent further examination, which yielded a negative result.

"Ding-dong~"

The system awarded Ji Xiang another reward.

Ji Xiang looked at the 3000 experience points and 3 surgery points that had been deposited into his account, feeling somewhat dazed, thinking that the system was helping him gain experience.

Would this be considered embezzlement? Ji Xiang scratched his head.

However, the worst-case scenario seems to be that he breaks the record himself, and Ji Xiang is well aware of this.

[Emergency Mission: Emergency! Emergency!! Phase Three]

Task: Properly treat an emergency patient.

Task duration: 12 hours.

Task Rewards: 6000 experience points, 10 surgery points.

Just as you finish one task, the next system task arrives in the blink of an eye.

"Doctor, look how simple it is, why do you still need to do tests?" The patient's family member was overjoyed to see that everything was fine, but still couldn't help but complain a little.

"There's no other way. What if something goes wrong if we don't do the tests? You've already been cured easily, so you can be happy about it." Mr. Wu habitually tossed a tissue onto the patient's surgical area. "Wipe yourself."

He wiped the ultrasound probe, hung it on the ultrasound machine, and said with a smile, "Things are different now than before. Many diseases are named based on objective examinations."

For example, metabolic alkalosis—if you don't do any tests, this disease should be called "Don't blame me if you die from blindly treating it without testing."

"!!!"

The patient and his family looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It's all for your own good." After finishing his work, Mr. Wu was refreshed and couldn't help but speak without thinking.

Because the patient was fine, the family didn't mind too much that Mr. Wu used foul language.

Just as I was about to go out, the sound of an ambulance siren rang out.

"Mr. Wu, don't go!" The emergency surgeon, hearing the wailing siren of the ambulance, leaned out and shouted into the crowd, "It's a fish!"

"Oh my god!" Mr. Wu immediately understood, and a hint of melancholy appeared on his previously radiant face.

Should I resign?

One emergency room after another, followed by two patients with testicular torsion, and then a fish arrived.

It's a fish!

After hearing what the emergency room doctor said, Ji Xiang's DNA stirred.

The last time I encountered a guy using catfish at a barbecue in Qiyang, I experienced the same thing myself, which resulted in a medical accident.

After that, under the guidance of the system NPC, Ji Xiang learned how to remove various kinds of fish.

For a moment, Ji Xiang felt an itch to try.

It's rare to see someone who doesn't court disaster. Ji Xiang learned it as a dragon-slaying technique, but he never expected to encounter it so soon.

The stretcher roared as the 120 emergency doctor pushed it in a graceful drift, turning without slowing down, heading straight for the emergency room. His movements were incredibly skilled; one wonders what he's been through all these years.

"What kind of fish!" Mr. Wu asked loudly.

"Pike!"

"!!!"

Mr. Wu was taken aback, his face turned quite grim, and his deep expression seemed to tell a tragic story.

"It's all over, it's all over." Mr. Wu rubbed his hands together as he walked into the emergency room, muttering to himself.

Ji Xiang knew that the pike was quite difficult to retrieve, but he wasn't worried.

"Get out of here!" Mr. Wu scolded the patient and his family, who were still occupying the best spots, without any politeness.

He's like a scumbag; after he's done, he shows no mercy whatsoever. He was all smiles and gentle words one minute, but the next minute he turns his back on you and becomes ruthless.
