Healing Doctor

Chapter 186 Are you out of your mind?! (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader Meng De x5)

"Xiao Ji, do you know what you're saying?" Ling Tian asked sharply.

"Professor Ling, I know," Ji Xiang replied frankly. "We can only see half of the tumor. The other half may come from other blood vessels. I want to take a look and estimate the source of the tumor's blood supply."

"Hmph!" Qin Chu snorted through his nose, his suppressed voice carrying a brutal tone.

"Stop messing around. The surgery's over. You can be the surgeon after you step off the stage, and the boss will lend you a hand." Ling Tian quickly smoothed things over. "If you want to do surgery, let's see what you're capable of after you step off the stage."

"Teacher Ling, Teacher Qin, I want to take a look. This surgery isn't finished." Ji Xiang, wearing a lead apron, bowed slightly, like a heavily armored cavalryman about to go into battle.

"Outrageous!" Qin Chu stared wide-eyed at Ji Xiang.

"Xiao Ji, stop fooling around!"

Seeing this, the head nurse had already closed the airtight lead door and checked the intercom again.

Doctors can argue, but they must never leak their arguments to outsiders.

She had also heard that Boss Qin had found a junior resident trainee in the north and was preparing to take him on as his last disciple.

Looking at it now, this young man seems to have a bad temper and is quite stubborn.

Boss Qin was so strict that anyone else would have immediately backed down, but the young man stood in front of Boss Qin in his lead suit, refusing to back down.

"The surgery isn't finished," Ji Xiang said softly.

Many memories from those years, which I felt so deeply, have become blurred, perhaps because the system's computing power is insufficient to handle the blurring.

But on countless quiet nights, Ji Xiang sat alone, feeling weak all over and nauseous, recalling the surgeries that took fifteen minutes to perform, and the anger in his heart simmered like a volcano.

Only then did Qin Chu make a small incision during surgery.

Under immense pressure, magma has already erupted.

"Are you questioning my surgery?" Qin Chu sneered.

He was no longer angry; his attitude had turned cold. Ling Tian knew his boss was truly angry, and the consequences would be severe.

If the boss keeps yelling at people, that's fine, or you could even say it's a good thing.

But once the boss calms down, you can imagine what will happen next... This whole thing is probably going to fall through!

Not only will he suffer a hot spring bath, but Ji Xiang will also face a devastating blow.

Boss Qin's motto is—"A bodhisattva's heart, but a butcher's methods." Ling Tian knows his boss's temper very well. Seriously, what the hell is going on in Ji Xiang's head?

Shit!

"Professor Qin, I'm not questioning your surgery, I just want to find the blood vessels supplying the tumor," Ji Xiang replied calmly, downplaying the sharp question Qin Chu had thrown at him and getting straight to the point.

"Young man, let me teach you something," Qin Chu said. "The other half of the tumor may be supplied by the inferior diaphragmatic artery, the abdominal aorta, or the renal artery. Because of the characteristics of the tumor itself, all the blood vessels in the body are trying to supply it, so it's uncertain exactly which branch of the blood vessel it came from."

"If repeated contrast imaging is performed, the amount of contrast agent alone can be overwhelming for the patient. Many times, it will end in failure."

"If we can perform one tumor reduction surgery, then we've already achieved our goal, don't you think?"

Qin Chu's words had become calm, as if he were discussing something with Ji Xiang, but Ling Tian's expression turned extremely serious.

He understood that this was the last chance his boss was giving this young man, Ji Xiang.

Taking advantage of Ji Xiang's silence, Ling Tian leaned close to his ear and said sternly, "The surgery's over, don't push your luck!"

Ji Xiang turned his head, looked at Ling Tian, ​​and then smiled slightly.

"Can't we even give it a try?" Ji Xiang asked. "Although there are many possibilities, I know this is not a guaranteed victory but a battle of attrition. So, can we do our best within the patient's tolerance?"

Qin Chu's expression was extremely ugly, his face was ashen and slightly ferocious.

"If we fail, we've done our best, and it's just bad luck for the patient," Ji Xiang said frankly. "If we successfully find a blood vessel, everyone will be happy, so why not?"

Why not? This question struck Qin Chu like a hammer blow to the chest.

Even faintly, a "thud" could be heard, along with the sound of a solid object breaking.

Qin Chu stared intently at Ji Xiang; this was completely different from what he had expected!

Qin Chu couldn't even remember how many years it had been since anyone dared to question his decisions to his face. Yet Ji Xiang had dared to question and deny them time and again—who did he think he was?!

"You! Get out!" Ling Tian whispered sternly in Ji Xiang's ear, "This is an operating room. You must listen to the senior doctors' judgment... and obey!"

"Me." Ji Xiang's lips curled into a disdainful smile.

"I refuse to accept this!"

"Go ahead and do it." A relieved smile suddenly appeared on Qin Chu's face, as gentle as a spring breeze. "Since you insist, I'll give you three chances to be selected."

"If we can't find it, then we should step down. What do you think?" Qin Chu asked.

His words were gentle, but the air in the control room seemed to freeze.

Ling Tian knew there was no way to turn things around; his boss had already rejected Ji Xiang.

A conference that was organized for him was abruptly canceled because of... because of a damn surgery. Is Ji Xiang out of his mind?

Ling Tian glared fiercely at Ji Xiang, then said, "Boss, you rest, I'll go on stage."

"Let Dr. Xiao Ji do it." Qin Chu took off his lead apron, and the head nurse, who was standing beside him, immediately took the apron from him.

"I'll stay here and watch."

After saying that, Qin Chu casually sat down in the technician's chair.

"Thank you, Teacher Qin. I will try." Ji Xiang bowed and said politely, then asked the technician to bring up the initial imaging video and watch it repeatedly.

Ling Tian knew his boss was furious. Who the hell would have thought this junior trainee would be so tough!

Are all Gen Z kids like this now? They're ready to quit their jobs at the drop of a hat... Ling Tian originally thought this was just a joke, but he never expected it to happen to someone he knew.

Moreover, the boss has already offered excellent conditions and has been very attentive in expressing great goodwill. He even prepared a special academic conference for Ji Xiang to announce to the entire academic community that he, Qin Chu, has taken on a disciple.

Such an important event even prompted Academician Teng to attend.

But Ji Xiang, that little brat, is shameless. He gave up his promising future and insisted on arguing with his boss before the surgery was even finished.

Are you out of your mind?!

Ling Tian watched as Ji Xiang, with his hands in the pockets of his sterile gown and straining to look at the screen, his gaze gradually turned cold.

The boss is not very magnanimous, especially since he has put in so much effort and expressed his goodwill and sincerity but has not received anything in return. What follows will inevitably be a series of heavy blows.

Even though there are countless levels between the boss and Ji Xiang, and Lei Tingzhong's subordinates might not be able to achieve any results, the boss will definitely do something.

Three chances, which is the first punishment.
