Healing Doctor

Chapter 148 Soft Tissue Sclerosis

"Indeed." Director Liu did not follow Professor Zheng's words, because he knew that Ji Xiang was working for General Manager Wu, and Director Liu was always very cautious.

"Going to the general surgery room is also a safe bet."

"Director!" Professor Zheng said, somewhat displeased, "Xiao Wu has improved his skills a little, and now he's getting all cocky..."

He spoke at length.

However, Director Liu's attention was diverted to an unknown direction by Professor Zheng's words.

Director Liu had seen this before, and he still clearly remembered Zhao Xiangming's arrogant face.

Mr. Wu's laser lithotripsy skills have improved recently; I've heard him mention it.

Doctors from different departments and at different levels have all improved their chess skills without prior agreement. There is only one truth behind this – Dr. Xiao Ji.

Director Liu knew what was going on.

He thought for a moment, while Professor Zheng continued to chatter beside him.

"Professor Zheng, is Dr. Xiao Ji here too?" Director Liu wanted to confirm again.

"Yes, the patient was lying there, but General Manager Wu pulled Dr. Ji to the duty room and they were whispering about something. Can you believe how unreliable this is?" Professor Zheng began to complain.

"!!!" Director Liu vaguely knew that he had guessed correctly.

He took out his phone and made a call.

Professor Zheng was taken aback.

"I have an emergency patient here. I'll just come up and take a look. You guys eat first, no need to wait for me."

"Sigh, that's just how doctors are, they're destined to be overworked, they're all like donkeys."

"Okay, okay, I'll go and play all over again from the beginning, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Professor Zheng asked in surprise, "Director, do you have a dinner appointment tonight?"

"Yes, the boss of the city investment company is treating us to dinner."

"Uh, you're late for a dinner party of this caliber?" Professor Zheng stared wide-eyed at Director Liu.

"Tell the operating room to call me when they want to start anesthesia," Director Liu said shrewdly.

"Director, isn't that unnecessary?"

"Let me see his surgery. He's young, so we should encourage and support him more," Director Liu said. "If Xiao Wu messes things up, I'll talk to him when he gets back. There won't be any problems. We need to give him some freedom, but we also need to ensure his safety."

Professor Zheng felt something was amiss. Why would the head of the department give up such an important dinner for the sake of a resident's "willfulness" and a patient with urinary retention?

He was full of doubts, wondering what Director Liu was planning.

Director Liu wasn't in a hurry. He chatted with Professor Zheng for half an hour, and then the phone rang to say that the patient had started anesthesia.

"Let's go take a look." Director Liu perked up and got up to go to the operating room.

"Director, this kind of surgery..." Professor Zheng was extremely puzzled when he saw that Director Liu really wanted to go and see the surgery.

"Haha, let's go see what's going on," Director Liu laughed. "Xiao Wu's laser lithotripsy has been going well lately; I haven't seen him perform surgery in a long time."

Director Liu said things he didn't mean, and the two of them laughed it off as they went to the operating room to change.

Professor Zheng was still unconvinced, believing that Director Liu was spoiling General Manager Wu too much. Director Liu was considered General Manager Wu's mentor and a close protégé, so he should have some advantage over him.

But what Director Liu did today went a bit too far.

Upon entering the operating room, Director Liu glanced around and saw Ji Xiangming disinfecting himself.

"Dr. Ji, you're here too," Director Liu greeted warmly.

"..." Professor Zheng.

"..." Mr. Wu.

"Director, what brings you here?" Ji Xiang greeted him with a smile as he disinfected himself.

Director Liu leaned closer and saw that Jixiang Disinfection was carried out in a standard and orderly manner from the outside to the inside, and nodded.

Normal disinfection proceeds from the inside out, but since the patient has sinus tracts and there is contamination in the surgical area, disinfection must proceed from the outside in.

This was just a detail; Director Liu frantically collected all sorts of evidence to confirm his suspicions.

"Director, I just had an ultrasound, and I feel like there's something under my left groin," Director Wu reported in a low voice.

Because it was an epidural anesthesia and the patient was awake, Mr. Wu spoke softly.

"Take a look." Director Liu glanced at the ultrasound report, looked at the images, and gave a vague answer.

"Seriously, this is insane," Professor Zheng said. "What could it be? Soft tissue sclerosis."

"Hahaha," Director Liu laughed, "Professor Zheng, why are you in such a hurry? Have you made an appointment tonight for some soft tissue hardening exercises?"

"No way, Director, what are you saying?" Professor Zheng chuckled. "I'm already so old, soft tissue is soft tissue, it's no use anymore. If you want it to harden, I guess I'll have to wait until I'm completely dead."

"How could this be...?"

The two stood in a corner where it wouldn't be in the way and started chatting.

"Sister, what is soft tissue sclerosis?" The scrub nurse didn't understand and asked the circulating nurse in a low voice.

"Don't bother with those scoundrels in the urology department," the circulating nurse said disdainfully. "They can't say anything nice."

"Li Yazhou, that's not how it works. Your family also keeps dogs. Forget ivory, it would be impressive if they could even spit out wisdom teeth," Director Liu said with a smile.

"Count, count," the circulating nurse urged. "It's a problem that could be solved offstage, but you insist on bringing it to the operating room. It's not just the resident physicians who come, but you, the head of the department, have to come too."

"Isn't this for the patient's benefit?"

"Is your urology department planning a team-building activity in the operating room tonight?" the circulating nurse asked.

"Impossible, I'll just take a look and leave."

Mr. Wu is under immense pressure.

Professor Zheng and the circulating nurse both expressed their dissatisfaction with "making a mountain out of a molehill," which made General Manager Wu somewhat regretful.

After disinfection was completed, Mr. Wu hesitated again and again while standing in the surgeon's position.

"Dr. Ji, is it possible to remove the surgery?"

Just as General Manager Wu was hesitating, he suddenly heard Director Liu's voice.

"Yes!" Ji Xiang gave Director Liu a definite answer.

The circulating nurse's face darkened, and she glared fiercely at Director Liu. She knew this was about to enter teaching mode, but what the hell was that time? How long would the teaching last?!

Director Liu acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and said with a smile, "Let Xiao Ji try this minor surgery to clear the sinus tract. It's alright, don't worry, I'll be watching you from behind."

Ji Xiang nodded, thinking that Director Liu was indeed shrewd and perceptive.

Switching to the sorcerer's position, Ji Xiang, mimicking the system NPC, reached out and shouted, "Bring me the sword!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The operating room was quiet.

So embarrassing.

If Director Liu said that, everyone would praise him for his impeccable swagger.

However, the one who spoke was Ji Xiang, a young doctor, or rather, someone who couldn't even be called a doctor.

The scrub nurse paused for a moment, then used hemostatic forceps to hold the blade, attached it to the handle, and handed it to Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang was also troubled because the scrub nurses were too slow and couldn't compare to the system operating room.

He followed the practiced steps he had taken in the operating room, and with a flick of his wrist, he left a 7.6cm incision on the patient's skin, the incision even having a curve.

Director Liu's eyelids twitched.

"What are you doing!" Professor Zheng scolded.
