Healing Doctor

Chapter 237 Silly Roe Deer

Let them go ahead and court disaster.

Ji Xiang doesn't quite agree with this statement.

"Director Liu, Expert Lu, he..."

"Expert Lu, haha, this is the first time someone has called him that. He went to the medical affairs office and luckily ran into Director Bai." Director Liu guessed what Ji Xiang was going to say, and he explained, "Now Lao Lu is in charge of in-hospital consultations, which shows that Director Bai knows how to use people well and has not buried Lao Lu's skills."

So that's how it is. Ji Xiang thought of the refined and easy-going Director Bai.

He had no problem with Director Bai, even though Director Bai had relegated him to the nurses' group to participate in the competition during the grand skills contest.

According to Director Liu's description, this Director Bai is indeed a talent scout.

"You know what, this position satisfies Lao Lu's passion for clinical work without any other hassle. Especially when he encounters some rare diseases, he gets quite boastful... just like today." Director Liu said with a smile, "I really don't know what massive hydronephrosis is. If someone else had said it, I definitely wouldn't have believed it, but I believe Lao Lu."

"No matter how unreliable it is," Director Liu said, then emphasized the sentence again.

Ji Xiang said, "Director, it seems this disease really exists."

"Oh?"

"I heard my mentor mention it during my internship," Ji Xiang said vaguely.

"Did you have the surgery?" Director Liu asked.

"I did it."

When the topic of surgery came up, Ji Xiang immediately became interested.

"There are many challenges during the surgery. The large size of the kidney, the altered anatomical structure, recurrent chronic infections, and previous surgical history all contribute to the extended operation time."

"Moreover, the anatomical structure is also different from the normal local anatomical structure."

Ji Xiang had just gained some insights into the surgery, and he spoke at length. Director Liu listened attentively, asking questions directly about any points he didn't understand.

A good conversation requires a worthy opponent.

Ji Xiang hadn't reached the level of a system NPC yet, so he chatted quite happily with Director Liu.

The two went directly into the director's office, where Ji Xiang began to draw sketches to explain some of the characteristics of the surgery.

In the operating room of the system, each simulated person's condition is somewhat different, and there are no two identical cases.

Ji Xiang also encountered many unusual situations, which he described in great detail.

Director Liu originally just wanted to chat with Ji Xiang and build a closer relationship, but he didn't expect that Ji Xiang actually had something to offer.

Not only do we have stock, but we have a large quantity!

The longer they talked, the more focused they became. Director Liu couldn't understand where Ji Xiang got so much clinical experience from.

The ringing of the phone interrupted the conversation between Director Liu and Ji Xiang. Director Liu glanced at his phone and realized it was almost time to leave work.

"Director Liu, we explained the patient's condition to them, but they disagreed with going to a higher-level hospital," said the head of vascular surgery.

Director Liu quickly realized that the other party wanted to transfer the patient over.

The patient's condition is no longer just a matter of deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities; it involves the removal of an organ, so they definitely need to be transferred to another department first.

In the past, Director Liu certainly wouldn't have taken on such a big problem so easily. He would have postponed it at least twice, and if it really couldn't be transferred, then it would have required the intervention of Director Bai of the Medical Affairs Department.

But times have changed.

After listening to Ji Xiang's account, Director Liu became very interested in this case, which he had only seen once before. He was so eager to perform emergency surgery that he couldn't wait to do so.

"Is the patient facing difficulties at home?" Director Liu asked, following up on the conversation.

"Yes, going to the capital would cost at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, no matter how much you eat or drink. The patient's family isn't well-off and can't afford it."

"Alright, you should first explain to the patient and their family that I can try laparoscopic surgery. But let's be clear, if it doesn't work out, we'll have to do a full-body operation. If everyone agrees, then transfer me over." Although Director Liu was itching to perform the surgery, he still spoke very cautiously.

"Alright!"

The person on the other end was also surprised that Director Liu would agree so readily, and was in a great mood.

After hanging up the phone, Director Liu looked at Ji Xiang with a smile, "Ji, are you confident about the surgery?"

"Eighty percent," Ji Xiang gave a positive answer.

"Alright, I'll go explain the patient's condition. You should rest first," said Director Liu.

Ji Xiang bowed and then left Director Liu's office.

"Ding-dong~"

The mission announcement sounded.

System task: Surgery involving alteration of anatomical structure.

Task: Perform a laparoscopic nephrectomy.

Task duration: 5 days.

Task Rewards: 5000 experience points, 5 surgery points.

Oh ho, there's even a mission.

Ji Xiang looked at the task with a smile, then changed his clothes and prepared to go home.

There are countless procedures before the surgery, such as transferring the patient to another department, giving pre-operative instructions, and obtaining various signatures.

There are at least 3-5 days until the surgery, and the time limit for the system task has been clearly stated.

Even if it means using up all my surgical points tonight, I have to learn the surgery, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

As Ji Xiang rode his bike home, he sensed something was different once he entered the house.

The old man was sitting in a recliner, gazing at the sky and drinking tea, with a large dog, about half a person's height, squatting beside him.

Uh……

Ji Yongchang has never liked pets, so only Ji Xiang and Ji Yongchang live at home.

"Father, who is it?" Ji Xiang asked.

"have no idea."

"!!!" Ji Xiang was speechless, looking at his old man.

"I went grocery shopping today and saw this guy with a butcher at the market. He said he'd slaughter the meat on the spot for only 260 yuan."

"Oh?"

"It seemed to know I could save it, and it kept crying at me, even sobbing." Ji Yongchang reached out his hand, and the big dog obediently nuzzled its head under Ji Yongchang's hand.

A sense of humility, like a dog forced to bow its head under the eaves, arises spontaneously.

"It looked like a show dog to me. I didn't know whose dog it was, so I bought it for 220 yuan."

"So cheap..." Ji Xiang changed his shoes and glanced at the dog.

"It's alright. I took her to take a shower, and we came back without buying groceries," said Ji Yongchang. "We'll have takeout for dinner."

"Too oily and too salty."

"Give him a name," Yoshiaki Yoshiaki said.

"Dad, that's a bit much." Ji Xiang curiously tried to pet the dog's head. The dog seemed to know that Ji Xiang was family, and it stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail at Ji Xiang.

"I don't know how to name things, so call me whatever you like."

"Then let's call it kidney."

Ji Xiang performs kidney removals every day, so he's gotten into the habit of eating kidneys and casually mentioned it.

"Be serious." Ji Yongchang raised his eyelids and glanced at Ji Xiang. "What kind of dog barks about kidneys? If this comes true and someone really does kill you one day, you'll probably feel uncomfortable thinking about it later."

"It can't be called 'auspicious,' can it?" Ji Xiang grumbled.

"Let's call him Silly Roe Deer."

"Dad, you really don't know how to name things. Sofa or bench would have been fine, but why call it Silly Roe Deer? I was just venting, didn't you realize?"

The father and son argued for a long time, but finally decided to name it Silly Roe Deer.
