Healing Doctor

Chapter 25 Misunderstanding

Ji Xiang was unaware that Professor Mo and Colonel Wang were eyeing him covetously, and even if he had, he wouldn't have thought much of it.

When I woke up, my stamina had only recovered by 4 points.

It seems that catching up on sleep during the day is not as effective as deep sleep at night. Ji Xiang moved around a bit and felt exhausted all over.

After taking a shower, Ji Xiang felt a little more refreshed.

"Ji Xiang, the things your mother sent are all in the living room," Ji Xiang's father said as he came out to talk to Ji Xiang when he heard him get up.

He was taken aback when he saw Ji Xiang's haggard appearance.

When Ji Xiang returned at noon, he was looking at the one-minute candlestick chart and hadn't paid attention. But just now, Ji Xiang's mother called and told him to keep an eye on things.

Ji Xiang's father's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and helped Ji Xiang carry his things into his bedroom.

Just as he was leaving, Ji Xiang's father walked by and said, seemingly casually, "You should be careful when you're young. Everything should be done in moderation, or you'll harm your health."

"..."

Ji Xiang paused for a moment before realizing what the old man meant by his words.

I was exhausted from the surgery!

Surgery is so tiring!!

Ji Xiang was screaming in his heart.

Unfortunately, the old man didn't give Ji Xiang a chance to explain and turned to leave.

Explanation is just a cover-up. Ji Xiang sighed and didn't press the old man to explain what had happened.

If you were to press for an explanation at this point, it would only make you seem guilty.

He was exhausted, like a dog, and when he got home he was still misunderstood... No, dogs aren't as tired as he was, Ji Xiang scratched his head.

Upon opening the package, the item Ji Xiang wanted appeared before his eyes.

Ji Xiang casually opened the packaging of a sewing kit and began to examine it.

At the same time, Ji Xiang's father closed the door and returned to his study.

He lit a cigarette and stared at the red and green screen in front of him in silence for a full minute before picking up his phone.

"Xiaoying, something's really wrong with Jixiang," Jixiang's father said after making the call.

"Is it serious?"

"It's serious." Jixiang's father said seriously, "You know, Jixiang has always been an energetic person since he was little, just like me."

"Pooh!"

"Seriously, be serious." Ji Xiang's father frowned, not dwelling on the details. "He was admitted to the hospital today for his exam, and after coming back, he took a nap and has been sleeping until now. I just heard him get up to wash up, so I went to check on him. Overall, he looks exhausted."

"You've taught him all these bad habits," Ji Xiang's mother scolded on the other end of the phone.

"It has nothing to do with me. I occasionally talk to Ji Xiang about it, but the child is all grown up now."

Having a girlfriend is a good thing.

"No." Ji Xiang's father's expression became even more serious. "He comes home on time every day and doesn't make many phone calls. I don't think he has a girlfriend."

"Should we check his computer?"

"No," Ji Xiang's father firmly refused. "The child is grown up and needs his own privacy."

"Let me think about what to do." There was a 32-second silence on the other end of the phone. "I'll go ask and see if the lab has any solutions."

"What did you say?"

"Mind your own business!"

"Alright, I'll try to talk to Ji Xiang during dinner. It's not good for him to be so young and already so physically weakened," Ji Xiang's father said.

"I've always found it strange that Ji Xiang looks like a refined scholar, but he's actually quite a beast. If you hadn't kept refusing to agree, he would have joined the national team long ago."

Ji Xiang's father shook his head, did not continue the conversation, and hung up the phone.

This is a really hard thing to say. The child is already an adult, so it's not right to say it too deeply or too superficially. Ji Xiang's father was like facing a world-class problem, and he kept frowning and thinking hard.

He silently extinguished the cigarette only after it had burned his hand.

Ji Xiang had no idea how much trouble his parents would cause by completely depleting his basic endurance value through surgical training in the system space.

At that moment, he was hiding in the room, disassembling the stitching device like a sniper.

Although it's not about performing surgery, as a surgeon, the more familiar you are with the suture device, the more helpful it will be for the operation.

Even if the help was minimal, Ji Xiang enjoyed it like building Lego.

Just like the system NPC said, you also gain experience points from disassembling and reassembling the suture device, but less than from performing a surgery.

However, it consumes less stamina.

Looking at his pitiful 4 points of stamina, Ji Xiang was on the verge of tears and could only choose to "play" with the stitcher in reality.

He gradually became familiar with the structure of the sewing machine and soon he could assemble it with his eyes closed, becoming incredibly skilled.

You'll also gain experience points during the disassembly process, but the amount is pitifully small.

At dinner, Ji Xiang noticed that his father seemed hesitant to speak, and he himself didn't know how to explain.

Then I won't say.

The father and son ate dinner in silence. When Ji Xiang returned to his room to assemble the sewing machine, a few ideas suddenly came to mind, and he planned to try them out the next day.

……

The next morning, Ji Xiang got up for a morning run and saw an SUV parked in front of his house when he got home.

"Mr. Ji, this was sent by Miss."

A man wearing a jacket and a baseball cap handed a small box to Ji Xiang's father with both hands.

"Thanks."

The man bowed, turned around, got into his car, and left without saying a word.

"Dad, what's this?" Ji Xiang asked.

Ji Xiang's father glanced at him and, seeing that Ji Xiang was full of energy, felt somewhat relieved. "This is a life sensor that your mother ordered for you."

Upon opening the packaging, Ji Xiang picked up a watch-like object and looked at it. "Isn't this an Apple Watch? What? Trying to scare me with that fancy name?"

"Put it on." Ji Xiang's father put the watch on Ji Xiang's wrist. "In the hospital, women are treated like men, and men are treated like animals."

Even livestock wouldn't be that useful. It's normal for your mother to worry about your health. Although you're still young, some of your health problems are lingering issues from your youth.

Ji Xiang didn't grasp the deeper meaning behind his father's words. It was just an Apple Watch; he could wear it, it didn't matter.

After breakfast, Ji Xiang rode his bicycle to the Second Affiliated Hospital.

Professor Mo and Colonel Wang had already informed the Department of Science and Education that Ji Xiang's first rotation would be in the Department of Urology.

After the staff from the Science and Education Department finished arranging the personnel list, they told the trainees to go to their departments on their own and said a lot of things like to abide by labor discipline and that the Science and Education Department would conduct inspections from time to time.

Ji Xiang and two other classmates arrived at the Department of Urology. The group was not familiar with each other and introduced themselves along the way.

During the three years of residency training, the group members were brought together by the force of fate, just like college roommates. This is also a kind of destiny.

The other two are from two different universities: a girl named Liu Yunqing and a short, fat, and sleazy guy named Lu Kai.

They weren't very familiar with each other, and Ji Xiang wasn't the talkative type to easily make friends. After getting to know each other, they arrived at the urology department in silence.

Two elevators opened simultaneously, and three doctors dressed in white coats and wearing protective suits strode out of the elevator next to them.

Their faces were etched with exhaustion and an unhealthy flush from the hormones they had undergone during the emergency treatment; it was clear they had been in surgery all night.

"Keep a close eye on things after the surgery," the leading doctor, a man in his fifties, instructed.

"Doctor, I know," the young doctor behind me said. "I'll keep an eye on it."

"Tell me, which patient are you monitoring?" The director took off his mask, revealing a gray beard, but it couldn't hide the mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

Ji Xiang noticed this and, feeling curious, quickened his pace to follow behind the group.

"A patient who has undergone partial nephrectomy," the young doctor replied immediately. "There is a possibility of bleeding after the operation, which is very risky. I am prepared to go on stage to stop the bleeding at any time."

The director chuckled and shook his head. "I've already explained that to the family very clearly. There shouldn't be any problems. We'll handle anything that arises, but it's best if nothing happens. We tried our best to preserve one kidney during the surgery. If we really couldn't save it, there's nothing anyone can do."

"Understood, Director."

"Understood?" The urology director's smile deepened. "Pay attention to patients undergoing liver resection or repair in the hepatobiliary surgery department."

"..."

The young doctor behind him paused for a moment, clearly not understanding what the director meant.

The head of the urology department didn't explain much and strode into the doctor's office.

There was a clanging sound coming from the office. Ji Xiang followed him in and stood in a corner, ready to report to the head of the urology department.

"Is this the new juicer the head nurse just bought?" the head of the urology department asked anxiously.

"Director, you're down." The night shift nurse was making juice, preparing some nutrition for herself after staying up all night, and greeted the director as soon as she saw him return.

"Give me a drink," the head of urology said, then plopped down in a chair. "That patient needs a CT scan of his entire abdomen within 48 hours."

The doctor was puzzled and asked, "Doctor, can't we just do a CT scan of both kidneys?"

"You need to have a CT scan of both kidneys, and also a liver scan of the liver and gallbladder. Do them together."

"Doctor, why do we need to pay special attention to this patient?" the junior doctor asked.

Ji Xiang pricked up his ears.

What the head of urology is about to say will definitely be full of clinical experience, and may even contain lessons learned from painful experiences.

Listen and take notes to avoid making the same mistakes.

"What diagnosis did the patient have?" the head of urology asked.

"Right kidney contusion, CT scan shows right kidney is intact. You even went up on the operating table to feel it during the laparotomy and said there was nothing wrong." The young doctor became more and more puzzled as he spoke.

"This shows you lack clinical experience..."

"Here you are, Director." The nurse handed the freshly squeezed fruit juice to the director in a disposable paper cup.

The head of urology took it in his hand and took a sip.

"Huh? What the hell is this thing?!"

Ji Xiang was listening intently to the clinical experience that the head of the urology department was about to share when he suddenly heard him raise his voice and shout.

"Apple juice?" the nurse said, puzzled.

"This..." The head of urology steadied his hand and smiled wryly, "This is just a freshly collected cup of urine, it even has foam on it."

"Here, take this and compare it to the urine bag, they're exactly the same!"

"..."

"..."

The group of people were stunned.

Ji Xiang was also stunned for a moment. After carefully recalling what freshly squeezed apple juice looked like, he suddenly realized that it really looked like it.

"Take it away, take it away. Move the juicer to your nurses' duty room, don't let me see it." The head of the urology department put the disposable paper cups on the table and waved to direct the nurses.

People who work in urology are already immune to poop and pee jokes. She didn't have the disgust or nausea that a normal girl would have. Instead, she laughed and took the paper cup.

"Director, I have to say you have a lot of clinical experience. If you hadn't pointed it out, I would never have been able to tell that it looked so similar."

"Get out of here." The head of urology waved his hand dismissively. "I've seen enough of this every day. Drinking this stuff makes me nauseous. Go get me a bottle of sugar, size 5."

After speaking, the head of the urology department saw Ji Xiang and the other two and asked, "Who are you...?"

"Teacher, we are new residents."
