Healing Doctor

What exactly happened in Chapter 111?

But to Director Liu's surprise, Director Zhao looked humble, like a junior doctor who had done something wrong, and did not fly into a rage.

Watching Ji Xiang put on his lead apron, kick open the airtight lead door of the operating room, and walk in, Director Liu finally felt that the air in the operating room had become a little softer.

"Xiao Wu, what's going on?" Director Liu asked in surprise.

As for Ji Xiang going in to lend a hand, Director Liu didn't think much of it. He assumed Ji Xiang was just curious and wanted to go in wearing a lead apron to take a look.

Ji Xiang's behavior was a bit excessive and broke the rules, but these are minor matters.

The important thing is that Director Zhao can sober up.

"Director, I don't know either," Mr. Wu said in a low voice.

"Boss Hua, get down here."

Just then, Director Zhao's voice came from the control panel.

"Professor Ma, be careful as your assistant. No, I need to wear a lead apron when I go in."

"!!!"

Director Liu was completely stunned.

What is Director Zhao trying to do?!

In the emergency room, why would he let Ji Xiang, a resident trainee, be the surgeon?

Even allowing students to have surgery isn't done this far!

But before Director Liu could question it, he saw Director Zhao of the Interventional Radiology Department hurriedly put on a lead apron, kick open the airtight lead door, and go inside.

Director Liu stared blankly at the scene, thinking that he must have broken down or that Director Zhao was just drunk and acting crazy.

"Director Zhao!" Director Liu pressed the button on the intercom. "Aren't you sober yet?"

"Why don't you do it?" Director Zhao turned around and said arrogantly.

This is Director Zhao. He acts like his physique: tall and strong, exuding a powerful aura.

Before Director Liu could finish his question, Director Zhao immediately retorted, without even considering what Director Liu was thinking.

"Director, please come here."

The next second, Director Zhao's fawning words, like a sycophant, almost knocked Director Liu to the ground.

Who is he talking to?

Who is he talking to?

"A person only has one face, so don't waste it."

A cool, clear voice came through the walkie-talkie.

What the hell!

Director Liu was stunned. The one who spoke was Ji Xiang, the resident trainee standing in the surgeon's position!

Will Director Zhao just kick him in the lower back?

The two had worked together for many years, and especially after the four top doctors in the interventional radiology department left one after another, partial nephrectomy required the assistance of interventional physicians, so the relationship between Directors Liu and Zhao had always been good.

Director Liu knew this colleague's temperament all too well; he seemed to already see what would happen a second from now.

However, Director Liu burst into tears the next second.

Director Zhao seemed to have changed his personality, becoming incredibly humble, and said apologetically, "I had a few drinks today, and thinking about how our hospital has shrunk from nearly a hundred beds at its peak to only 30 now, it makes me feel sad..."

"Your technical skills aren't improving, and the doctors under your command aren't developing. How dare you, a department head, cry?"

Director Liu's eyes nearly popped out.

Everyone knows this truth, but no one dares to say it to your face.

It's natural to be protective of one's technical skills, but junior doctors aren't one's own children, so why should they teach everything?

Besides, would teaching this really benefit you? It's not uncommon for junior doctors with bad character to turn against their superiors and kick the senior doctor out.

Moreover, even if Director Zhao wanted to teach how to perform interventional surgery involving sutures, there would still need to be someone who could learn.

Can……

Director Liu listened intently to the conversation inside, his ears perked up like a rabbit's, when suddenly the technician at the control panel next to him exclaimed "Ah!"

The sudden sound startled Director Liu.

"What's wrong with you!"

"Director Liu, I'm so sorry." The technician stared blankly at the screen. "Surgery...surgery..."

"Something wrong?!" Director Liu quickly composed himself and turned off the walkie-talkie to avoid any unnecessary trouble caused by the hot-tempered Old Zhao overhearing what was being said on this end.

"I knew it was unreliable. What if the surgery goes wrong?" Director Liu's heart jumped.

"The surgery was absolutely amazing!" the technician exclaimed, pointing to the almost invisible microwire undergoing superselection on the screen.

"!!!"

"Director Liu, I've seen Director Zhao perform many surgeries." The technician's eyes were fixed on the micro-guidewire moving on the screen, his eyes sparkling.

Speaking of Director Zhao, he suddenly became clear-headed and quickly pressed the button on the intercom, afraid that if he said something bad, Director Zhao would hear him and give him a good scolding.

"If it were Dr. Zhao, he would have spent at least an hour and performed the superselection procedure 3 to 5 times, and there was still no guarantee of success. But in this surgery, he went straight in."

"You must have guessed," Director Liu asked.

"You're the one who's confused! Can't you speak properly?!"

The walkie-talkie crackled with Director Zhao's gruff voice as he swore.

Two negatives make a positive, and these words were still heard by Director Zhao of the Interventional Department, but he didn't seem to care about the technician saying that he was "not skilled enough", he only cared about Director Liu's evaluation of the surgeon.

"Uh... Director Zhao..." Director Liu was taken aback.

"This is a display of talent, honed through at least a thousand surgeries! You say the extraordinary skill of successfully performing a super-selection on the first try is just a fluke? Where are your eyes?"

"Shut up," Ji Xiang said coldly. "Focus on the surgery."

"Yes, yes, Director."

Director Zhao of the Interventional Radiology Department changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book; his attitude when speaking to Ji Xiang is completely different from his attitude when speaking to Director Liu.

Director Liu was speechless.

The surgery went well and smoothly, and he didn't want to offend Director Zhao. He wouldn't mind who performed the surgery, as long as the bleeding could be stopped; he'd even have a problem with bringing a dog to perform it.

If the surgery fails, what's the point even if it's performed by Dr. Gu, one of the top surgeons in the country?

"Director, what's the explanation for the over-selection just now?" Director Zhao asked with a fawning smile.

"The patient's tertiary vessel is somewhat off-center. We press the microguidewire against the vessel wall and flick the wrist at the bifurcation point. The timing is crucial; you must flick your wrist only at the bifurcation point. If you do it too early or too late, you won't be able to get it in."

"But that location..."

Director Liu listened silently as Director Zhao from the Interventional Radiology Department and Ji Xiang asked him questions about techniques. Gradually, he could no longer understand what Ji Xiang was saying, but he could sense that Director Zhao was asking questions more and more seriously.

What's going on?

Feeling confused, Director Liu found it increasingly difficult to understand this junior resident trainee.

Ji Xiang stole the show in the competition, breaking the records of the Zhao family father and son more than a hundred times.

But that was just a publicity stunt; from the clinicians' perspective, it was merely a slap in the face to Dean Zhao. At most, they might praise the child for having potential, and that would be it.

But on the operating table, while teaching Director Zhao how to perform superselection, he also inserted the spring coil.

The contrast imaging showed no active bleeding, and the emergency surgery was declared over in less than ten minutes.

This surgery,

That was done way too fast!

Moreover, it's not just fast, it's even more stable and better than what Director Zhao, who has the highest level of interventional embolization technology at the Second Affiliated Hospital, did!
