Chapter 209 No, I won't empathize (Bonus chapter by Alliance Leader Deng Chaohong x5)

Before leaving, Mo Chenggui reminded Ji Xiang not to be distracted by Qin Chu's affairs, to focus on his work, and that his future was limitless.

Ji Xiang was so focused on not empathizing with others this time that he didn't pay much attention to what Mo Chenggui said afterward.

In Ji Xiang's mind, Qin Chu was already a thing of the past.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ji Xiang didn't rush to the ward; he planned to ask the system NPC first.

Ding cancer doesn't seem to be very malignant; it's mentioned in the book.

As for the patient...

Ji Xiang also knew that if he wasn't even willing to empathize, how well could the patients possibly get?

Sitting next to the Trek butterfly, Ji Xiang greeted the burly man, then closed his eyes and focused on entering the system space.

"Teacher, I'm here." Ji Xiang greeted the system NPC as he entered the system space.

The system NPC looked Ji Xiang up and down and smiled slightly.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"How does it feel to participate in your first battle?" the system NPC asked.

"I'm alright, just a little excited," Ji Xiang answered truthfully. "Teacher, when you were young, did you have a habit of throwing medical records in your students' faces?"

"Hmm." The system NPC was a little embarrassed. He laughed and said, "When I was working, I checked medical records every Wednesday afternoon. There was a row of flowers in the middle of the desks in our department, just in case I got angry and threw the medical record folder and hurt someone."

"..."

Ji Xiang never expected that the system NPC had such a volatile temper when he was young.

"It's really infuriating, especially seeing all that rubbish they wrote," the system NPC remarked. "Later, I found it particularly amusing to throw reports in someone's face during class or battles. Once, a medical supplies supplier applied for a drug-eluting stent..."

Ji Xiang listened silently as the system NPC recounted how a drug-eluting stent that had performed poorly in Phase II clinical trials was brought into the country only to be humiliated by the system NPC. This reminded him of how he had thrown the documents at Ling Tian's face.

"It really feels great," Ji Xiang thought to himself.

But then Ji Xiang repeatedly reminded himself that he was a resident physician and he didn't want anything to go wrong that he couldn't handle and would end up having to ask his mother for help.

After the system NPC finished speaking, Ji Xiang changed the subject, "Teacher, today Teacher Mo and Teacher Wang asked me to go to the hospital to observe a patient who is going to have a total mastectomy for cervical cancer."

"Oh." The system NPC nodded. "Indeed, we should take a look, especially at the topic of postoperative psychological reconstruction for patients, which is a very advanced subject."

"Teacher, could you please explain in more detail?" Ji Xiang asked.

The system NPC looked intently at Ji Xiang, his eyes filled with expectation.

Ji Xiang believed that his increasing empathy must have caused the system NPCs to have a misconception.

"No," Ji Xiang said firmly.

"Hehe." The system NPC chuckled and didn't press the issue. "There are a few key points to solving this problem. The first is early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. If it's discovered early, it can be resolved with partial resection and lengthening surgery, without affecting the patient's life."

The system NPC did not force Ji Xiang to empathize, but instead began to teach Ji Xiang a lesson.

The system NPC explained the treatment of early-stage Ding cancer very thoroughly, including partial resection and lengthening surgery, and then began to take Ji Xiang to have the surgery.

The mannequin was brought in, and the entire system's medical team began to work.

After continuous epidural anesthesia was administered, the mannequin was placed in the lithotomy position. Once the anesthesia was complete, Ji Xiang went to scrub his hands, disinfect them, and put on his clothes.

Then the system NPC dressed up and went on stage.

"Knife!" The system NPC reached out and slapped a scalpel in its hand.

"Teacher, why don't you mention the knife?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Did I say that?" the system NPC asked in confusion, but he was very steady in his movements, making a spindle-shaped incision around the base of the surgical area while speaking.

"I did say that."

"Maybe Shen Lang corrupted me." The system NPC chuckled. "For a while, Shen Lang became obsessed with a novel, and ever since then, whenever he's performing surgery, he'll quiver and yell 'Knife, come here!' in a very unconventional way."

"Ha." Ji Xiang asked happily, "Who is Shen Lang?"

"One of the guys in Zhou Congwen's medical team has the advantage of being tough."

"Tough luck?" Ji Xiang asked, puzzled.

"Hmm, you got rabies and didn't die, do you think you're tough enough?" The system NPC said while bluntly dissecting the subcutaneous tissue, fat and deep fascia at the base of the surgical area.

"Wow, rabies isn't 100% fatal, is it?" Ji Xiang was taken aback.

"It's not 100%, but the odds of dying out are always close to 100%."

As they spoke, the system NPC had already identified the location of the tumor.

He used an electrocautery to cut the urethra and corpus spongiosum 2 cm away from the tumor, leaving a certain length of urethra as a stoma. When separating the corpus spongiosum, he used proximal separation to avoid damaging the urethra.

The system NPC then made an incision in the middle between the anus and the base of the sac in the surgical area, and brought out the proximal corpus spongiosum and the incision, retaining 1 cm in length, and cutting off the excess.

The NPC's surgical skills were extremely sophisticated, and Ji Xiang watched with great pleasure.

Furthermore, since the system NPC did not force him to empathize, which was quite humane, Ji Xiang's restless heart gradually calmed down, and he focused on watching the surgery.

The system NPC makes a transverse incision at the end of the urethra, everts the upper and lower flaps of mucosa and sutures them to the skin edge to fix the urethral opening.

Subsequently, the suspensory ligament of the surgical area was cut along the midline, the fascia of the surgical area was incised, the deep dorsal vein, dorsal artery and nerve of the surgical area were separated, and the surgical area was cut and ligated.

Finally, along the corpus cavernosum, separate to the attachment of the pubic ramus, cut the corpus cavernosum, and suture the remaining end.

After surgical excision, clean the wound, suture the midpoint of the cyst cut edge to the suprapubic incision, and elevate the cyst to prevent sagging.

Partial resection was performed, the surgery was very clean, and all lymph nodes were also cleared. After treating the tumor, the systemic NPC performed a lengthening procedure to ensure the patient's postoperative life and mental well-being.

"Here, this is the basic procedure for the surgery." The system NPC seemed quite satisfied after completing it. "Do you know what Ding cancer fears most?"

"What are you most afraid of?" Ji Xiang was a little confused.

"Drone cancer is more common in men aged 40 to 60. Typical clinical symptoms include purulent or bloody discharge from the skin opening, and lesions often present as papules, nipple-like or flat protrusions, plaques, ulcers, and foul-smelling discharge."

The system NPC paused, then emphasized, "The worst thing is when patients mistakenly believe that the initial papules or flat bumps are genital warts or other diseases, leading to incorrect treatment or delayed treatment, ultimately resulting in the need for a total excision."

"What I just showed you was the treatment for early-stage thyroid cancer, which doesn't require lymph node dissection. If it's late-stage, a total mastectomy is the only option."

"I think I understand." Ji Xiang glanced at the system NPC with some concern.

The system NPC didn't force Ji Xiang to empathize, so Ji Xiang was immediately relieved.

Ji Xiang wasn't stupid, nor was he reckless. If castration were to be done to him, even if it was just something he experienced in the system space, Ji Xiang would subconsciously refuse.
