Healing Doctor

Chapter 108 What's coming will come.

While preparing the suture kit, anesthetic, needles and thread, Mr. Wu tried to calm himself down to avoid making big problems with the small sutures, and pondered how to flick his finger.

Ji Xiang's flick of his finger was incredibly cool. Even without using any skills, it still triggered muscle memory, causing that damned sense of familiarity to be etched into his very bones.

"Dr. Ji, how come you know so much about pike?"

"I saw my teacher do it during my internship," Ji Xiang said casually.

Ji Xiang considered himself an intern in the operating room.

As for that teacher, he dissected many kinds of fish for him to see, and he mastered the biological characteristics of each kind of fish.

But there's no need to say these things to Mr. Wu.

"Impressive," Mr. Wu exclaimed. "Didn't you graduate from SYS University? There are pike in the South too?"

Ji Xiang was not interested in Mr. Wu's quick wit, and even found it slightly annoying; this man asked too many questions.

"Dog Fish, Mr. Wu, do you know what Cat Fish is?" Ji Xiang changed the subject.

Dogfish, literally translated, but what the heck is a catfish?

Mr. Wu was completely stunned.

"It's a catfish," Ji Xiang said with a lame joke.

DOG CAT, Mr. Wu's brain was completely shut down by this simple lame joke.

He knew it beforehand, but he never considered the connection. The main reason was that after seeing the patient, Mr. Wu was devastated and felt utterly hopeless.

We'll have to work all night, and we don't even know if we can get the pike off without damaging it.

However, none of this happened. Ji Xiang flicked his finger and solved the problem with ease.

Mr. Wu's mind was filled with the image of Ji Xiang flicking his finger and solving the problem.

Fortunately, the patient's surgical area was not seriously damaged. There were only a few small cuts, and the deeper ones only needed one stitch. A total of three stitches were needed to resolve the issue.

After instructing the patient to stay in the emergency department for a tetanus shot and observe for a few more days, Mr. Wu and Ji Xiang returned to the ward.

"Dr. Ji, your technique is truly masterful," Mr. Wu remarked as they walked.

"It's alright," Ji Xiang replied "modestly."

"By the way, I've improved my laser lithotripsy skills pretty quickly, haven't I!"

Mr. Wu's words carried a hint of boasting, not the kind of arrogant boasting, but rather the boasting of his child's achievements to the teachers and parents.

Ji Xiang felt a little helpless.

It seems that I have been giving Mr. Wu sex so often that I have reached an addictive level, and subconsciously I regard him as my teacher and superior doctor.

"That's great, Mr. Wu, you've made remarkable progress." Ji Xiang replied cautiously, even using the honorific "you."

Mr. Wu began to ramble on about his gains, while Ji Xiang responded with hums and haws.

It seems we really can't give Mr. Wu another shot, not even something positive.

If things continue like this, Ji Xiang is really afraid that in another month, when he goes to hand over his shift in the morning, General Manager Wu will have to report to him in front of the entire department.

Ji Xiang could easily guess just how dark Director Liu's face must have looked at that moment.

This is bad for both myself and Mr. Wu. I will definitely not do it again next time!

While listening to Mr. Wu's rambling, Ji Xiang looked at the next task.

[Emergency Mission: Emergency! Emergency!! Phase Four]

Task: Properly treat an emergency patient.

Task duration: 12 hours.

Task Rewards: 10000 experience points, 20 surgery points.

This continuous series of tasks made Ji Xiang feel somewhat dazed, wondering if the system had been damaged by his own excessive rewards.

However, since there is a mission, it also means there is an emergency!

Mr. Wu really attracts patients; he's so pitiful.

Ji Xiang glanced at General Manager Wu, who was rambling on about his experience with laser stone fragmentation.

What a pitiful and unlucky chief resident. If he can be this busy in urology, he must be exhausted in other departments.

Mr. Wu was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.

He instinctively shivered.

Ji Xiang sighed inwardly. During his internship, the doctors on clinical duty were all like this. Answering the phone in the middle of the night was terrifying.

I reckon Mr. Wu is already suffering from supraventricular tachycardia; his heart is pounding violently.

"Director, it's so late and you're still up." General Manager Wu answered the phone.

"Okay, has everyone arrived?"

"I'll get ready right away!"

As Mr. Wu spoke, he stopped and turned to walk back towards the emergency department.

"Mr. Wu, what's wrong?" Ji Xiang asked.

"A patient who underwent partial nephrectomy, performed by the chief physician, has run into trouble." General Manager Wu said with a serious expression, walking briskly.

Finally, it's here. This should be the last emergency room visit, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

"Bleeding, you know Dr. Yao Xiaoji, the biggest fear after partial nephrectomy is bleeding."

"How is the level of interventional hemostasis at your hospital?" Ji Xiang asked.

Mr. Wu wanted to explain to Ji Xiang what to do if there is massive bleeding after partial nephrectomy, but Ji Xiang hit the nail on the head and asked the key question directly.

"The overall level of our hospital's interventional radiology department is not bad... but it's hard to describe in a few words," General Manager Wu replied subconsciously, then asked curiously, "Dr. Xiao Ji, how did you know that?"

Mr. Wu's attitude toward Ji Xiang kept changing, even though he himself was unclear about Ji Xiang's place in his heart.

His questions were also quite strange.

"I saw it during my internship; our affiliated hospital has a very high level of interventional radiology expertise," Ji Xiang replied casually. "Mr. Wu, shouldn't we contact the head of the interventional radiology department?"

"Director Liu's contact is a favor between the senior directors; we won't get involved."

Mr. Wu hurriedly arrived at the entrance of the emergency department.

After waiting for a few minutes, a Corolla stopped, and a middle-aged man hurriedly got out of the car and helped a pale-faced old man out of the other car door.

Upon seeing the old man's complexion, both General Manager Wu and Ji Xiang's first impression was that he was in hemorrhagic shock.

"Wait a moment, don't go!" Mr. Wu said immediately.

Just as he was about to turn around to push the wheelchair, he saw Ji Xiang run into the emergency room like a wild dog that had broken free of its reins.

"Mr. Wu, I'm going!"

Mr. Wu was taken aback. Shouldn't the resident trainees be doing odd jobs at this time? Why did he subconsciously think that he was the junior doctor?

However, the momentary daze was only temporary, and he immediately reassured the patient and their family.

They were all long-time patients and quite familiar with Mr. Wu. After exchanging a few words, Mr. Wu took his phone a few steps away and dialed Director Liu's number.

"Director, it looks like there's bleeding. I'll get a blood test and an ultrasound done right away," General Manager Wu reported.

On the other end of the phone, Director Liu's voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm going now, let me know the ultrasound results!"

"Yes, sir, immediately!"

The situation was urgent, and Mr. Wu didn't have time to say much. When he saw Ji Xiang pushing the wheelchair out, he said a few words and hung up the phone.

After an ultrasound and blood test, it became clear that the ultrasound did indeed show a fluid-filled dark area.

Bleeding!

"Ding-dong~"

Ji Xiang heard the system task notification.
