Healing Doctor

Chapter 154 Who Actually Performed the Surgery?

"Director Zhao, your joke isn't funny at all." Ling Tian didn't believe a single word or punctuation mark of Zhao Xiangming's words.

"It's true..." Zhao Xiangming said awkwardly.

Not to mention Ling Tian, ​​even he himself believed what he said.

It's a very strange feeling.

"Director Zhao, then there's nothing more to say." Ding Yifan's impression of Zhao Xiangming plummeted to rock bottom, and he said coldly.

What does this mean?!

Zhao Xiangming said he would rather die than let his subordinate, Qianglong Feitian, get away with it. I wonder what kind of irreconcilable conflict exists between them.

But to fabricate a lie about being a resident in urology, having just arrived at the hospital, is going too far. Does this person think they and their senior colleague are fools?

"Teacher Ling, Teacher Ding, it's true." Zhao Xiangming sighed. "I'll take you to the Department of Urology."

"Director Zhao, you..." Ling Tian shook his head.

"I don't know how it happened, but his surgery was really good, unexpectedly good." Zhao Xiangming didn't want to offend them, so he could only tell the truth.

Several bigwigs in the province were transferred from Shanghai and had experience in Shanghai. Heaven knows what kind of relationship these big shots in Shanghai have with the bigwigs in the province.

While it wouldn't kill me outright, even a few casual remarks can make me feel terrible.

For the sake of a resident trainee, Zhao Xiangming was filled with a strong will to survive.

This wasn't because Zhao Xiangming had paranoia. Several years ago, in the winter, a big name from Shanghai was invited to give an academic report, and the department head arranged for them to go to Xuexiang to soak in the snow hot springs.

The master's disciple was so happy that he posted a few pictures of the snow scene on his WeChat Moments.

Less than half an hour later, the phone rang, and the provincial leader complained that he hadn't been informed in advance of his arrival.

These kinds of jokes are just jokes, extremely far removed from the world of ordinary people. Zhao Xiangming never expected that one day they would happen to him.

"Teacher Ling, Teacher Ding, everything I said is true." Zhao Xiangming put aside his selfish thoughts, "The first two video surgeries were indeed performed by a junior resident trainee."

After saying that, without waiting for the two to refute him, he recounted the embarrassing incident that happened to him that day.

He drank too much and couldn't get on the operating table; no one else could handle the surgery.

All of these are reasonable.

But in the end, a resident in the urology department stepped in and turned the tide... This is just too unbelievable!

Nowadays, even those cringe-worthy workplace dramas wouldn't dare to film like this.

"Director Zhao, that's awesome." Ling Tian laughed after hearing this. "How about I contact Daylight Entertainment for you and you can become their screenwriter?"

"..." Zhao Xiangming felt as if he had a bitter pill in his mouth, and his whole body went numb with bitterness.

……

……

Ji Xiang was unaware that Zhao Xiangming was struggling to defend himself.

"Xiao Ji, how's the movie?" Director Liu was showing Ji Xiang a movie in his office.

It was hard to tell from their conversation that the head of the urology department and a resident were speaking.

The three patients who underwent interventional surgery are scheduled to have partial nephrectomy tomorrow. Since this has never been done before, although the logic makes sense and it is described in journal articles, Dr. Liu is still worried and had a CT scan performed on the patients before the surgery.

"Director, the interventional surgery went very well. It's full of iodized oil, and the tumor is in the necrosis stage." Ji Xiang read the images and relayed the NPC's message to Director Liu.

When will I be able to rotate to the radiology department? Ji Xiang now deeply feels that reading X-rays is one of his biggest weaknesses.

My own skills are insufficient, so I have to quickly go back and forth to the system's operating room to ask the system NPC for advice.

After listening to Ji Xiang's rambling speech for twenty minutes, Director Liu was slightly surprised, but he knew very well that Ji Xiang was right; this was highly likely to happen.

"Xiao Ji, the surgery should go smoothly. I have a scalpel to use on Sunday, the day after tomorrow. Will you come with me?"

"Where to?"

"Hahaha." Director Liu laughed, "A hospital in Yuanliao City has been inviting me to perform surgery. That's a small, run-down place, and it's far away. Who would want to go there if there's nothing wrong with it?"

"However, there's an experienced attending physician there who has always proposed the concept of first performing interventional embolization, and then performing a partial nephrectomy. That's why we've started thinking about it too, and that's when I remembered this."

Ji Xiang was very interested in this.

For a doctor in such a remote and desolate place to come up with such an advanced surgical concept, he seems to be quite remarkable.

"The amount given is small, but you can keep it all," Director Liu said with a smile. "At your age, you're probably short of money."

"Director, I rarely spend money."

"That's because you don't have a girlfriend yet. Once you have one, you'll know what it means to be penniless. Want to talk back? Hahaha."

Director Liu laughed heartily, as if he had thought of a joke.

Ji Xiang vaguely sensed that it wasn't something nice, but the urology department was moving too fast, and he was still young and didn't immediately understand.

"Bang!"

The door to the director's office was pushed open so suddenly that it slammed against the back wall with a loud bang, nearly shattering the frosted glass.

"Director Zhao, is there a problem with the patient?" Director Liu was about to get angry when he saw Zhao Xiangming stride in, and his heart skipped a beat.

Such a rush in the hospital can only mean one thing—emergency resuscitation.

"I told you we can't let Xiao Ji get involved in the interventional surgery," Director Liu muttered to himself. "Damn it, if Lao Zhao tries to pin the blame on Xiao Ji, I'll have to stand up for him no matter what."

If the responsibility isn't too heavy.

"Old Liu, can you vouch for me? Dr. Ji is here too. Who performed the embolization of the kidney tumor we had a few days ago?"

"Director Zhao, you are so kind." Ji Xiang answered without hesitation.

A knife was plunged into Zhao Xiangming's heart, and then stabbed twice more, leaving him a bloody mess.

"Yes, Lao Zhao, you've forgotten the surgery you performed yourself?" Director Liu immediately took out a hammer and drove the knife deeper.

"The surgeon who performed the surgery just now was Professor Ma. It had nothing to do with my son, Xiao Ji. If there are any problems, you should consult with a higher-level hospital or see Dr. Jiang from the First Affiliated Hospital."

As Director Liu spoke, he pulled Ji Xiang aside and made him stand behind him.

Ling Tian understood everything; Director Liu's protectiveness towards his own couldn't be more obvious.

"Director Liu, right?" Ling Tian smiled slightly and extended his hand. "I'm Ling Tian from Shanghai Hepatobiliary Hospital."

"Vice Chairman of the Interventional Medicine Department of Huaxia University," Zhao Xiangming added.

As the saying goes, "every profession has its own secrets," and Director Liu genuinely had no idea who Ling Tian was.

But Zhao Xiangming's addition was timely. He stood up from his chair, reached out, and warmly shook hands with Ling Tian.

"Director Liu, let me get straight to the point." Ling Tian shook Director Liu's hand and looked at Ji Xiang.

"My boss took a liking to those interventional surgeries, and my brother and I came here to see who performed them. If things go well, we might have the opportunity to work together in the future."

Upon hearing Ling Tian's blunt expression, Director Liu's hand froze.
