Healing Doctor

Chapter 130 The Locomotive of the Era (Bonus Chapter by Alliance Leader Zhang Linmin x4)

Ji Xiang continued to perform surgeries in the system's operating room, and several passive skills made him even more powerful.

He was young and healthy, and performing surgery for several hours while wearing a lead apron was like child's play to him.

With the added benefits of Deathwing and Iron Body, I don't feel tired at all when performing interventional surgery; on the contrary, I feel more and more energetic as the procedure progresses.

It was a strange experience, like having an IV drip attached to my body containing an endurance drug diluted with saline solution. The drug kept entering the vein and being absorbed by my body, so I didn't feel tired at all during the surgery.

Ji Xiang even felt that the system NPC had given him a doctor's order—250ml of normal saline + 10mg of endurance medicine for continuous intravenous drip.

What's holding Ji Xiang back now isn't endurance, but his slowly dwindling mental energy.

In other words, Ji Xiang only reluctantly left the system operating room after running out of mana.

When he left, Ji Xiang didn't even say goodbye to the system NPC. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and it was already bright daylight.

It has a remarkable effect on people with insomnia. If it could be made into a medicine and sold, it would probably sell out. Ji Xiang commented on the interventional surgery.

Get up, go for a run, and go home to eat breakfast.

Ji Xiang inherited his father's DNA and is quite strict about time management, even to the point of being rigid and unapproachable.

He didn't find anything strange about being there. He had breakfast with the old man and then rode his bicycle to the hospital.

Early in the morning, Director Zhao Xiangming arrived and was chatting with Director Liu.

Upon seeing Ji Xiang, Director Zhao strode towards him. He had only taken one and a half steps when he abruptly stopped, his limbs and brain seemingly out of sync, nearly causing him to fall to the ground.

"Good morning, Directors." Ji Xiang greeted the two directors with a single sentence.

"The patient has been taken to the interventional catheterization lab. We'll go there after changing clothes and handing over the shift," said Director Liu.

"Okay." Ji Xiang went to change his clothes and informed Mo Chenggui and Colonel Wang before realizing that Director Liu had mentioned this matter earlier.

Mo Chenggui and Colonel Wang both looked at Ji Xiang with strange eyes, but Ji Xiang didn't think much of it and went to the doctor's office to prepare for the shift handover.

Today's shift handover was unusually simple, perhaps because Director Liu had something on his mind. After the nurse finished speaking, Director Liu ended the morning meeting immediately, did a quick ward round, and then took Ji Xiang to the interventional catheterization room.

Watching their retreating figures, Colonel Wang sighed.

"Are you still thinking of taking Ji Xiang to get a circumcision?" Mo Chenggui asked.

"What a fine, strong laborer, it's a shame to waste his talent. It's a pity, Dr. Ji probably won't have many more opportunities to perform circumcisions." Colonel Wang said with some disappointment, stroking his shiny bald head.

"What are you thinking about?" Mo Chenggui's gaze was somewhat complicated, and he couldn't say anything more. He stared at Ji Xiang's departing figure, but what he was thinking about was the scene of Ji Xiang operating the zebra guide wire to find the ureteral orifice.

I'm so stupid, really.

I should have realized back then that Ji Xiang would undergo interventional surgery.

Although he didn't know how a resident trainee could be so good at circumcision and interventional surgery, after ruling out all possibilities, there was only one truth!

……

Upon arriving at the interventional catheterization lab, Director Liu pulled up a chair and sat down next to the technician, silently watching Ji Xiang busy in the operating room through the lead-glass window.

"Director Liu, is this a new procedure?" the technician asked with a smile.

"Yes." Director Liu nodded. "Although I'm getting old, I still have to keep up with the times."

"You're not just keeping up with the times, you're practically leading the times! You're the locomotive of the times!" the technician joked.

Director Liu glanced at him and laughed heartily.

"Director Liu, I didn't expect us to start so early," the technician remarked.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"I don't know either, but when I was doing my advanced studies, my teacher got liver cancer. At the time, I thought that we could just have the liver and gallbladder removed directly. If surgery wasn't an option, then it would be interventional procedures."

"As a result, my teacher went directly to the interventional radiology department for embolization first, and then had the resection done a week later. The surgery went incredibly smoothly!"

Director Liu's heart skipped a beat. "I don't know much about interventional procedures. If they're as effective as you say, why haven't they been widely adopted?"

"Hahaha." The technician chuckled.

"Speak quickly, don't beat around the bush," Director Liu said seriously.

Seeing Director Liu's face fall, the technician chuckled, "Director Liu, is this because your surgery department is so powerful?"

"What do you mean?"

"The guidelines are set by the top surgeons every year, but here..." The technician pointed to his head, "They don't accept them, what can anyone do?"

Director Liu frowned and fell into thought.

"This isn't your problem, or even a domestic one; it's a matter for the world's top experts," the technician said. "I was just saying, and since my teacher did this during my advanced training, I've always had this suspicion."

"Should tumors be treated with interventional therapy first?"

"Yes, my teacher's actions completely baffled me. It was liver cancer, not very big, but you know how deadly it is. And the treatment he chose was something I'd never even heard of before..."

"How's the result?"

"It's been 7 years, and he's still alive."

"!!!"

Director Liu felt a surge of exclamation marks in his mind, and at the same time, the surgery on the lead-glass side began.

The technician turned on the screen and, without chatting, focused intently on watching the micro-guidewire move forward in the blood vessel.

In less than a minute, the microguidewire entered the renal artery from the abdominal aorta, then entered the third-order renal segment artery, and was superselected again.

The microguidewire seemed to encounter no difficulties at all, directly locating the fourth-order vessel from the third-order renal segment artery.

He looked up, his eyes somewhat lost.

All of this was within Director Liu's expectations, but when he saw the technician's bewildered expression, a thought struck him.

To know whether a surgeon is skilled or not, you have to ask the circulating nurses, the scrub nurses, and the anesthesiologists.

To know whether an interventional physician is skilled, you have to ask the technician.

Although they can't perform surgery, they have seen a lot and can naturally make judgments from a fair perspective.

"I don't know how to perform interventional surgery, and I always get laughed at by Lao Zhao for doing laser lithotripsy," Director Liu said in a low voice to the technician. "Xiao Sun, what do you think of this surgery?"

"Uh..." The technician paused, then carefully examined the person undergoing surgery inside, and sighed.

"Go ahead and say it, Old Zhao can't hear you anyway."

"Director Liu, where did you find such a young doctor?" the technician asked seriously. "Let me put it this way, I did my advanced training in Shanghai, where the number of interventional surgeries performed is the highest in the country. And since an interventional angiography must be done a month after liver surgery, it's considered..."

"Let's get down to business," Director Liu interrupted him.

"To put it simply, this surgery is top-notch even in Shanghai. Most professors leading a research team couldn't perform it this well!"
