Healing Doctor

Chapter 241 So-called Straight Men

"Impossible!" Lu Gang exclaimed in surprise as he watched the adhesions between the renal dorsal membrane and the peritoneum being easily separated, revealing the entire anatomical structure of the abdominal cavity.

"Hehe, the hemostat is hard, eat slowly," Director Bai said jokingly. "Do you prefer braised or stewed? Or maybe raw? Whatever suits your taste."

"..."

Lu Gang was speechless.

He never expected Director Bai to say that, but none of that mattered.

Most importantly, Lu Gang refused to believe everything he saw.

That doesn't make sense. You rarely see anyone writing about laparoscopic surgery for massive hydronephrosis in the world's top journals.

Whenever I see similar articles, the author mentions how difficult the surgery is.

Damn, how could it be so simple? Even a resident trainee could get the hang of it!

I actually got fooled by those worthless authors from a top-tier international journal!

Tolerable or unbearable!

Lu Gang really wants to have a good talk with those authors.

The surgery was still ongoing. The patient's Gerota fascia had disappeared, and the kidney was as flat as a thin sheet of paper. Ji Xiang separated the ureter from the lower pole of the kidney and then moved it to the renal pelvis.

The location of the renal hilum and the course of the renal artery and vein have deviated from the normal anatomical structure, but Ji Xiang used long forceps to press and lift, and the artery buried underneath "jumped" out directly.

Ji Xiang then carefully separated the renal artery and then carefully separated the vein.

The blood vessels and ureters were repeatedly clamped with titanium clips and Hemolok clips before being cut.

Insert a drainage tube and close the puncture site.

At this point, the patient should have changed position to remove the kidney, but due to the special circumstances, the patient's kidney was almost "disappeared," so Ji Xiang did not take this step.

After flushing, no active bleeding was found, and the surgery was completed.

"Is it that simple?" Lu Gang asked in surprise.

"It's already very difficult," Ji Xiang said calmly.

"this……"

"Good, let's go." Director Bai said in a deep voice.

After the surgery, Director Bai felt his mind was in a mess. He urgently needed to go back and rest to figure out what had happened.

As for Lu Gang mentioning the hemostatic forceps incident, saying it once is enough. If it's brought up repeatedly, given Lu Gang's personality, he might explode on the spot.

As for asking him to clean, that's utterly absurd; Director Bai himself has completely forgotten about it.

With Director Bai gone and the surgery successfully completed, the anesthesiologist relaxed and glanced at the time.

It was only then that he noticed the surgery had just begun at 42'21".

"Director Liu, who is this...?"

"The one who broke the record set by Dean Zhao decades ago in the grand competition," Director Liu said with a hearty laugh.

He didn't perform the surgery, but Director Liu was even more proud of it than if he had done it himself.

After the surgery, he realized something, but he couldn't say it.

"Awesome!" the anesthesiologist exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up.

"Xiao Ji, the surgery was done very well," Director Liu said with a smile.

Ji Xiang smiled but didn't accept the praise. He was reflecting on the slight flaws in his recent surgery, intending to learn from them.

"Take care of this and get ready to go back," Director Liu said. "Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong, Director?"

"I heard the head nurse wanted to introduce you to a girlfriend, but you turned her down?"

"Uh, I'm not interested in finding a girlfriend," Ji Xiang said.

He felt his words were too abrupt, so he added the word "now".

"Ugh, how could that be? If I could live my life all over again, I'd have eight hundred girlfriends when I was in college. What are they called now?"

"Aquaman," the anesthesiologist chuckled.

"That's right!" Director Liu didn't think "sea king" was a derogatory term. He said with a smile, "Back when I was in school, there was a PhD student at the school next door who had just published his research results."

This is the rhythm of casual conversation that begins after a successful surgery. The anesthesiologist fills in the surgery time while listening.

The surgery was so short that he couldn't believe it; the anesthesiologist's hands trembled slightly as he filled in the time.

"It just so happened that there was a social event. According to insiders, there was a girl who had a crush on that PhD student, but after the event, the PhD student called the police."

"Call the police? What happened? Why did you call the police?" Tang Yan asked in surprise.

"Hahaha." Director Liu glanced at Ji Xiang. "That girl from the School of Management spent a lot of time studying the details of engines in order to have something to talk about with this STEM guy. But this STEM guy actually thought it was impossible for the girl from the School of Management to understand engines, that she must have ulterior motives, and that she was a spy!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

Everyone in the operating room stared wide-eyed.

Straight men are common, but men who are this straight are truly rare.

"So, Xiao Ji, don't think so bluntly," Director Liu said. "In the prime of your life, you should not only make progress in your skills but also find success in love. A double harvest in career and love, that's what the older generation always says."

"Director Liu, you're not young anymore; you belong to the older generation." Tang Yan stuck a knife in her hand.

"..." Director Liu paused for a moment, then sighed.

"Thank you, Director." Ji Xiang applied the dressing to the patient, and then heard the system's notification that the task was complete.

The mission rewards were no longer important; Ji Xiang had gained a great deal from this surgery.

Although it consumed a lot of surgical points, my eyesight improved with each training session, and I estimate that performing interventional surgeries in the future will be much easier.

After sending the patient home, Ji Xiang was called to Director Liu's office.

"Xiao Ji, I have a question for you."

"Director, please speak."

"Are you interested in scientific research?" Director Liu asked.

"Yes," Ji Xiang replied affirmatively.

But what he was thinking about was the truly meaningful scientific research that the system NPC had mentioned, not the so-called scientific research of cheating for funding and publishing SCI papers indiscriminately.

"I'd like Dr. Zhao to come here for further training... on research related to partial resection of kidney cancer and interventional surgery. Can you take on that role?"

Ji Xiang's eyes lit up.

Although Dr. Zhao Zhe is a chatterbox, he is meticulous and patient in his work, accumulating patient data day after day for more than ten years. He can be said to be a very talented person.

Since Director Liu wants to bring Zhao Zhe here, it means he really wants to do some outstanding scientific research, rather than just doing something half-hearted.

"I...it seems like I'll be leaving in about a month and a half," Ji Xiang said helplessly after his initial excitement.

"It's okay, other departments might not be busy either, so they can come and perform surgery when they have time. As for the Department of Science and Education, they don't know anything. If they come to check up, just say that I've temporarily transferred the person here, it's fine."

"good!"

Ji Xiang agreed immediately.

If it's just about surgery, Ji Xiang thinks it's a worthwhile thing to do.

Although Zhao Zhe is here for further studies, which will last at most a year, that's Director Liu's responsibility.
