Healing Doctor

Chapter 128 Passing Down Through Generations

"Director, I'm a sales representative from Lailin Pharmaceutical. Our company's tadalafil oral disintegrating film sells quite well in the south. We've just entered your provincial capital, and I hope you can help promote it to patients when you have the chance."

"Tadalafil oral dissolving film, it's finally here!" Director Liu said with a smile.

"Director, you know? That's great!" Feng Yuqing said this without any excitement, as if she were just reciting lines.

His facial expressions were affected and slightly exaggerated.

Ji Xiang looked at her helplessly. With this level of skill, she wouldn't even be qualified to act in a TV series with green screen effects.

Director Liu carried the things back to the ward, and Feng Yuqing walked beside him just like a sales manager.

"Our company's product works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) activity, which improves congestion dysfunction and can increase the level of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the corpus cavernosum."

Director Liu glanced at Feng Yuqing. "It's phosphodiesterase 5. You haven't even memorized the most basic pharmacology. Go back and read the instructions again."

"..." Feng Yuqing was furious.

Are those things that any human could memorize?

The instruction manual was like a tongue twister, and looking at Director Liu's nonchalant manner, who would have thought that he was actually listening to me?

"What are you doing?" Ji Xiang followed behind and saw Feng Yuqing stop, her face a little red. Fearing she would get angry, he asked.

"Factory direct sales." Feng Yuqing suddenly lowered her head, her shoulders trembling like a wronged little girl.

"Stop pretending, hurry home," Ji Xiang said. "Why are you running around doing sales at the hospital? It's tough and tiring, can you really bring yourself to do it?"

"New products, they won't even listen to them, what kind of doctor are they?" Feng Yuqing muttered to herself.

"Hey, go back if you have nothing else to do. Why are you selling Tadalafil oral dissolving films? Look at those people who chew 'gum' all the time, is there a single one of them who's healthy?"

Ji Xiangming knew that Feng Yuqing had no chance of becoming a sales manager, so his tone became a bit more forceful.

Feng Yuqing stomped her foot angrily.

"It's no use, go home now. This is an over-the-counter drug, and you came to the hospital to promote it to the director? How could you even think of that? You don't even know this much, you haven't done your homework." Ji Xiang shook his head and followed Director Liu back to the ward.

Seeing Ji Xiang leave, Liu Hui, who was hiding to the side, realized that her young mistress had run into a snag, and quickly came to comfort her.

"Didn't they say the factory workers and doctors were very familiar with each other? Why aren't they talking to me?" Feng Yuqing asked, puzzled.

Looking at Feng Yuqing's bewildered expression, Liu Hui knew that she had absolutely no social experience.

Bringing tadalafil oral dissolving film—this bizarre move is truly something else. The key point is that Feng Yuqing deduced from the actions of those around her that Ji Xiang was definitely interested in it, and no matter how she tried to dissuade him, he wouldn't listen.

"Miss, don't you think Ji Xiang is different from the others?"

"Indeed, he's so young but lives like an old man. I heard he runs a half marathon every morning. He's crazy."

Liu Hui thought that driving a sports car and making a ruckus in the middle of the night was a problem, but she couldn't say that.

"I'll call Yan'er, but I still need to ask people in their circle." Feng Yuqing thought of Tang Yan again.

……

……

Ji Xiang returned to his ward and spent an afternoon in the outpatient clinic with Director Liu, from which he benefited greatly.

Although there are some things that Director Liu can use but I can't, for example, Director Liu can tell patients that he also has benign prostatic hyperplasia, but it wouldn't be credible for me to say that.

Once you say it out loud, the patient will probably think you're being sarcastic, and it could lead to a fight.

No wonder clinicians become more valuable as they get older, Ji Xiang suddenly thought of an explanation.

"Dr. Ji, come here." Director Liu changed his clothes, but instead of leaving, he went to the doctor's office to call Ji Xiang.

"What's wrong, Director?"

"The test results for a patient with central renal cell carcinoma in the right kidney are in," said Director Liu. "I think surgery is possible. Please take a look at the interventional approach."

Director Liu found it strange when he said this, but he could not forget the scene of Ji Xiang scolding Director Zhao on the operating table.

Lu Kai envied Ji Xiang. In fact, he had an accurate judgment about his future. However, Ji Xiang, who came at the same time, did not "care" about it. Yet, he quickly gained the favor of the professor in charge and the director.

Seeing that Ji Xiang and Director Liu had gone to the office, Lu Kai sighed.

"What, are you envious?" Mr. Wu asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Lu Kai didn't deny it, and said, "Mr. Wu, aren't you envious?"

"I have something to tell you." Mr. Wu said frankly, but then he suddenly remembered something and immediately said to Lu Kai, "Don't record this video. We're just having a casual chat. There are some things we can't tell outsiders, and even if we were to tell them, it shouldn't be me."

"Oh, okay, I know." Lu Kai put his phone away.

"Although I am only the chief resident, as far as I know, to reach a certain level in the surgical field, you need to have a kind of 'I am the best' attitude."

"Impressive aura? What are you saying, Mr. Wu?" Lu Kai said, indicating that he didn't understand.

That sounds a bit fantastical.

"Well, how so?" Mr. Wu rubbed his hands together, organizing his thoughts. "Let me put it this way: the more complex the surgery, the greater the responsibility the surgeon bears. You understand, right?"

"I understand." Lu Kai nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Some people are unwilling to take on this kind of responsibility; they're weak and inflexible."

"Hehe." Lu Kai felt that President Wu was making a suggestive joke.

"Be serious, I'm talking about clinical experience with you." Mr. Wu said earnestly, "If you don't believe me, just pay attention in the future. Any surgeon who can perform highly difficult surgeries will have a very decisive and uncompromising attitude when faced with a problem."

"You may rarely encounter this. Simply put, you can see a doctor's skill level during emergency resuscitation."

Lu Kai frowned, several images flashing through his mind.

"Yes, are you thinking of burn patients?" Mr. Wu asked.

Lu Kai nodded.

"At that time, Dr. Ji's performance met the requirements for becoming a top surgeon in the future."

"Who will be with you in the future?" Lu Kai asked casually, already used to it.

"Tch!" Mr. Wu laughed, not taking it seriously. "It's the same with mentoring apprentices. Many big shots are very protective of their skills, not because they really don't want to pass on their knowledge, but because those who can truly learn are all the same type of person."

"Surely to keep one's word?"

"Hmm," said Mr. Wu, "The biggest characteristic of this kind of person is that they refuse to be subservient to others. Want to watch basketball?"

"look."

"Some people are born with leadership qualities, while others are born to be the team's second-in-command. Even if you hand the team over to them, they can't carry it."

"Mr. Wu, I think I understand now."

That's what they said, but Lu Kai didn't understand what his relationship with Ji Xiang was.

"It's like a battle between the old lion king and the new lion king; one of them will eventually fall from grace."

"Will the old director retire?"

"In China, the department head is in charge, and they have all sorts of power in their hands. They're not going to give it up so easily."

As Mr. Wu spoke, he recalled a past event.

"There is a top-tier hospital where the head of a department is among the top five in the country."

"sharp."

"He's the kind of person I'm talking about, someone who has a decisive and uncompromising nature," Mr. Wu continued. "But that's precisely where the problem lies."

"That old man had five students, the kind who were very popular. In the end, four of them were driven away, leaving only the youngest one behind."

"Is it that cruel? It feels like two tigers can't share the same mountain, unless one is male and the other female. How about we try taking in a female student?" Lu Kai said.

Mr. Wu knew that this guy never said anything serious, so he didn't take his words to heart.

"In the end, the old director retired, and his youngest student took over the position. However, the old director still held great power in the department after retirement. The new director couldn't stand it and fought with him for half a year. In the end, he lost completely and was diagnosed with severe depression and retired directly."

"!!!"

Lu Kai was just a resident trainee; in his worldview, the world wasn't that cruel.

Who knew that what Mr. Wu said would be so cruel?

"The young directors are thinking, 'Can we be like in martial arts novels, where you impart decades of inner strength and then burn out?'" General Manager Wu said, laughing heartily.

"The old director felt that I had spent ten years teaching you a lifetime's worth of experience, and you actually wanted to desecrate my ancestral graves!"

Lu Kai thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.

"Mr. Wu, what should we do?"

"Because a gap in the medical industry is about ten years, and the age difference is not that big, it is easy to cause a life-or-death situation." Mr. Wu did not rush to explain, but continued, "I heard that some hospitals in the south have already adopted a new model."

"A new model?"

"The old director teaches his grandchildren."

"!!!" Lu Kai finally understood what President Wu meant.

"They say grandparents love their grandchildren more, and there's some truth to that. The old director is getting older, and even if he retires and hands over the position to his grand-apprentice, there are still several people above him who are more senior and have to call him 'teacher' when they meet him."

"Tell me, what would you do if you were that new director?"

"Uh..." Lu Kai finally became serious, and the greasiness on his face subsided a bit.

Mr. Wu is right. When the young new director came up, he looked up and saw a group of old professors, all of whom were his teachers back then.

You can't glare at anyone.

"Naturally, it's thanks to the old director," General Manager Wu said with a smile. "That way, the atmosphere in the department will be better, and there will be less internal friction. The old director helps his protégé, the new director, get started and then gives him a boost before he returns home in glory. The department will then have a new director who is in his prime."

"Pretty perfect," Lu Kai mused.

Mr. Wu stared intently at the door to the doctor's office.

Lu Kai was taken aback, then he realized what President Wu meant.

"Mr. Wu, you don't actually think that Director Liu is going to impart all his knowledge to Ji Xiang, do you?"

"Possibly," Mr. Wu said casually.

"Wow!"

Lu Kai was somewhat saddened.

Even though he already knew that he would return to his hometown in the future and that the best outcome would be to become a doctor in a county hospital, he still found it hard to accept that Ji Xiang had been internally designated as the successor of the Department of Urology at the Second Affiliated Hospital.
