Healing Doctor

Chapter 210 You're really back! (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader Niu Niu Diandian Cat x5)

After leaving the system space, Ji Xiang carefully pondered the last words spoken by the system NPC.

The system NPC had probably gotten older and his temper had gradually softened; he rarely raised his voice when speaking to me, unlike the irritable person he described himself to be.

But he spoke in a very strong tone, so Ji Xiang had to think it over carefully.

Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment?

Or something else?

Ji Xiang thought about it for a long time. This was not something he could solve on his own. He would only get better if he became richer and had more patients for physical examinations.

He sat silently, recalling the surgery the system NPC had just performed. After a long while, he stood up, dusted off his pants, and strode over to Corey.

"If you don't eat meat, think about how cute those cows and sheep are, can you bear to eat them?"

Ji Xiang walked into the urology department and overheard someone talking in the office.

"How about we order some fish?"

"Even fish won't work; all things are spiritual."

"Girl, I don't even dare to smoke next to you." Mr. Wu laughed. "What if I accidentally burn dozens of relics out of the body?"

"I'll order it myself," the nurse said.

"No, let's work the shift together, I'll do it. I'm really fed up with you, you won't eat this or that, how can you be so sure that plants don't have a spirit? That's discrimination, don't you know that?" Mr. Wu grumbled as he started ordering takeout on his phone.

Ji Xiang walked into the office, where General Manager Wu was drinking a glass of apple juice. When he saw Ji Xiang, he paused, seemingly forgetting to swallow, and almost spilled the juice all over himself.

"Ji Xiang, you...you...you're really back!" Mr. Wu suddenly stood up and exclaimed.

However, he was immediately choked by the apple juice and started coughing violently.

"Dr. Ji, General Manager Wu has been talking about you." The nurse asked with a smile as Ji Xiang entered. "Didn't you say you were going to stay in Shanghai? Why are you back?"

"Just kidding, it's not that easy to stay in Shanghai. I'm still a resident trainee." Ji Xiang reached out and patted President Wu on the back. "Be careful."

"Little...cough cough cough...Dr. Ji, you're really back."

"Yes, I spent the whole day performing surgeries with Teacher Mo and Teacher Wang," Ji Xiang said. "Be careful."

Mr. Wu coughed for a while, his face turning red from holding it in, before he felt a little better.

He tasted what was in his mouth and spat it out.

"Kidney stones?" Lu Kai asked with a smile.

"Pah, say something nice." General Manager Wu then looked at Ji Xiang, sizing him up, "Little Ji, you've actually come back."

"I'm a resident trainee..." Ji Xiang was speechless. "Where else can I go if I don't come back?"

"Come, come, let me tell you about it." General Manager Wu pulled Ji Xiang to sit down, completely disregarding why Ji Xiang had come to the hospital. "I've heard all sorts of rumors about this! This is a big deal."

"Nothing happened, I just attended a training session and then came back," Ji Xiang said helplessly.

"Dr. Ji," Mr. Wu joked in a affected tone, "we're already so familiar, why are you still acting so aloof?"

"Tell me about it," Lu Kai said, also very curious.

Although he had no desire to compare himself to Ji Xiang, they had come together after all, so he was still naturally curious.

"It's nothing."

Ji Xiang shrugged.

"See, this isn't right of you," Mr. Wu pressed, but Ji Xiang wouldn't say anything, and in the end, Mr. Wu had no choice.

"Chatting with Lu Kai is much more interesting," said General Manager Wu. "His family is trying to set him up with girlfriends. By the way, Xiao Ji, do you have a girlfriend yet?"

"not yet."

"Me neither. Guess what my family said?" Seeing the slightly awkward atmosphere, especially since President Wu was reluctant to admit it, Lu Kai said with a smile, "My mom said to hurry up and find a girlfriend and get married so I won't be a burden to her."

"Tell me, is this something a mother should say?"

"We can't be that casual," said General Manager Wu.

"But my mom wouldn't have it. She said we should hurry up and find a partner. If we really can't find a woman, she'll accept a man. If we can't even find someone to breathe with, we'll settle for a ghost marriage."

"!!!"

"Hahaha."

Mr. Wu laughed heartily.

The awkward atmosphere had eased somewhat, but Mr. Wu was still curious. Just as he was about to say something, a nurse's shout came from the other end of the corridor.

"What are you doing!"

It was as if a spring was installed under Mr. Wu's buttocks, causing him to spring up and rush out like the wind.

Lu Kai followed behind President Wu, but a figure was faster than him.

"Ji Xiang, slow down." Lu Kai grabbed Ji Xiang. "Hey, tell me..."

"I'll go see what's wrong." Ji Xiang was a little anxious, and almost the next second he was about to pick up Lu Kai and run to see what had happened.

"I guess the patients are cooking for themselves," Lu Kai said. "They often cook in the wards; they insist on making their own even though we're not allowed to use induction cookers."

Ji Xiang slowed his pace. "An induction cooker?"

"You'll understand once you see more of the department," Lu Kai said with a smile. "Some patients aren't well-off, so they try to save money. The hospital cafeteria food is expensive and unpalatable, so it's normal for them to cook their own noodles, but the hospital says they're worried about fire hazards and firmly forbids it."

"so."

"A while ago, a patient's family member was reheating food for the gastroenterology department. The head nurse, who was checking up on the nursing department, saw it and gave the nurse a good scolding."

So that's what happened. Ji Xiang had initially thought it was a fight between a nurse and a patient, so he stopped worrying.

"Ji Xiang, you're really amazing. Can you teach me sometime?" Lu Kai whispered to Ji Xiang as they walked towards the ward.

"Well, I wouldn't say I'll teach you, but there will be opportunities," Ji Xiang smiled.

It's almost impossible for them to teach Lu Kai.

Two resident trainees performing surgery? That's just asking for trouble. Neither of them has a medical license. What a joke!

If I get caught, they'll probably kill me on the spot; that's breaking the rules.

When performing corpus cavernosum puncture, some people questioned him, but Dr. Gu could easily refute their objections with a single sentence.

But if it were me and Lu Kai undergoing surgery...

The two entered the ward, with Mr. Wu pulling a nurse between them, trying to smooth things over. As he spoke, he kept giving the nurse meaningful glances, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

That look in his eyes meant that the matter should end here, and if things continued to escalate, no one would have a good outcome.

Although the nurse was angry, she restrained herself at Mr. Wu's signal.

"Old Jing, don't be like this." After pushing the nurse away, General Manager Wu squatted down in front of the patient and said gently, "I know your family is struggling financially, but if this catches fire, it will be a big deal. Some patients are still in bed and can't escape at all."

A middle-aged man was squatting on the ground, his head down, so his face was not visible.

Ji Xiang scanned the ward, guessed the bed number, and, based on the unusual surname "Jing," knew that this must be Jing Liang, a patient with male cancer.

The surgery hadn't even started yet, and the patient's mood was already off. Although their expression wasn't clear, the patient's frustration and despair were palpable.
