Healing Doctor

Chapter 259 What exactly happened?! (Bonus chapter by Alliance Leader STpeter x5)

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

The more silent he remained, the more Director Xu knew something was wrong.

"Director Hui, what exactly happened!" Director Xu's voice rose a little, becoming slightly stern. "The person you introduced can't be pushing me into a fire pit. Let me tell you, this is definitely not simple. I have a feeling they're plotting against me."

"Old Xu, Elder Gu is a big name in your urology department. What did he say back then? Tell me in detail."

Instead of directly answering Director Xu's question, the person on the other end asked a follow-up question.

"The other person's surgery was fine... Let me put it this way, last year I had surgery for a huge hydronephrosis, more than 3000 milliliters of fluid, and it took more than 6 hours to remove it. I blew on it for a long time."

"For a long time, every time we eat together and you have a few drinks you bring up this. And you gesticulate wildly about it, I'm so tired of hearing it."

"The surgical video that the young man Ling Tian brought showed a huge amount of hydronephrosis with 5200ml of fluid. The kidney was compressed into a piece of paper. In my opinion, it was impossible to cut it off."

"..."

"I'm not being modest, I really can't do it, not even open surgery."

"Even Professor Gu praised the surgery. This surgical competition is to build up Zhou Tianbo's resume. As you know, some of Professor Gu's students went to USC, and the rest are not very successful. So Professor Gu wants to help Zhou Tianbo."

"That's it, without hesitation, Professor Gu gave the first place to that resident trainee."

"Did the first place really go to that resident trainee?" Director Hui asked in a daze.

"Yes, I gave it to him. The surgery was really good, I couldn't bear not to give him something. Old Master Gu is so old, can he do something that would make people talk behind his back?"

The key point is that this junior resident's surgical skills surpass Professor Zhou's by two levels. In my opinion, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's among the top surgeons in China, and could even be considered a first-rate international surgeon.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After more than ten seconds, the atmosphere became extremely awkward. Director Xu finally couldn't help but ask, "Director Hui, tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"

"Old Xu, being a doctor is a profession that requires conscience, you know that?"

"Do you need to tell me?"

"Who has the worst reputation in your surgery department?" Director Hui on the other end of the phone changed the subject.

"The urology department is alright, but when I overheard them talking, they mentioned that there are some rotten people in the orthopedics department," Director Xu said. "Professor Huang, a very famous person, is known in the medical community as Huang Wufen and Huang Sanzuo."

"Huh? Why do you have two nicknames?"

"Five minutes means he never takes more than five minutes to perform surgery. He goes in, stirs things up, and it's over. He can turn a minor illness into a major one."

"Oh...is that so?"

"It's just a rumor, I don't know for sure, but I noticed that Shao Lin and his colleagues in orthopedics really disapproved of Professor Huang from Shanghai. Once, while drinking, Shao Lin got so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and said that a rotten fish had ruined the whole pot of soup."

"And what's this 'three cuts' thing? Isn't it all just one cut?"

"Hey, I'm asking you something, why are you asking me?" Director Xu said.

"You go first, then I'll speak."

"Whether someone is sick or not, the first thing to do is to have surgery; the second thing to do is to have surgery for both minor and major illnesses; the third thing to do is to perform surgery on someone whose minor illness has become a major illness, and then perform an even more serious surgery."

"Damn it, is this guy still alright?" Director Hui asked.

"Of course not, hurry up and tell me, it's almost time to eat, and Old Gu is about to give out awards. It wouldn't be good if I stayed away for too long," Director Xu urged.

"We also have doctors with bad reputations in our interventional radiology department, like Qin Chu from Shanghai. But he's a senior doctor, unlike Professor Huang you mentioned. We dare not speak out against him."

"!!!"

After contacting the person in charge, Director Xu suddenly understood something.

"I won't go into the specific technical details, but I've always told patients who want to go to Shanghai to avoid Qin Chu. I'm afraid they'll be tempted by his reputation and choose to have the surgery done there."

"Then why did you introduce me to someone?" Director Xu said indignantly.

"Well, we usually keep to ourselves and just greet each other when we meet. There was a rumor circulating recently, but I never believed it."

"What rumor?"

"Although Qin Chu wasn't very attentive during the surgery, the old man's skill was indeed exceptional, and his eyesight was incredibly sharp. It's said that after seeing a surgical video, he immediately asked Professor Ling to find the surgeon, personally verify the surgeon's skill level, and then wanted to take him on as his last disciple."

Director Xu was stunned. This was similar to what Ling Tian had said, but there were also differences.

"In order to take on apprentices, Qin Chu even held a conference and invited Academician Teng to participate. But according to legend, the young man berated Qin Chu at the conference, saying that he was not serious about surgery."

"I heard it from others, and those words did feel satisfying, and they were exactly what we wanted to say. But the more I hear that, the less I believe it could be true."

"Why?" Director Xu asked, then chuckled to himself.

Normally, senior clinical directors like Director Hui and people with certain positions in the academic community would not want to offend Qin Chu and Ling Tian for no reason, let alone a lowly resident trainee.

Moreover, Qin Chu wanted to take him as his last disciple and even invited the most powerful academician in the martial arts world, Academician Teng, to oversee the matter.

In that situation, what would you do?

What else can we do? Directly criticize them? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"However, I asked around and they said that Qin Chu has been bedridden since he learned the skills and hasn't been to work."

"Is that really true? They scolded Qin Chu so badly he couldn't get out of bed?"

"I think so, but I'm not sure. But if it's as you say, then it's certainly interesting. The surgery was done well, and Old Master Gu gave him first place... By the way, what was that young doctor's name again?"

"Ji Xiang".

"Yeah, yeah, look at my brain. Giving first place to Ji Xiang, do you think that's the right thing to do?"

"I understand," Director Xu said solemnly.

"I didn't pay much attention at first," Director Hui explained. "I figured this young man was probably good at interventional surgery, and his urological surgery skills were probably just average. I didn't expect... Director Xu, is his surgery really that good?"

"To put it simply, they are definitely among the top five in the country, but I can't say whether they are the absolute best."

"!!!"

"Alright, that's settled then," Director Xu said. "I understand."

"You didn't take Ling Tian's side, did you?"

"Tch, did you need to remind me! Director Hui, you've dug a huge hole for me this time, you'll have to clean it up for me later."

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

After hanging up the phone, Director Xu calmed himself down and reviewed the conversation he had just had.

This young man is no ordinary person!

He can perform top-notch surgeries across two major departments and has the approval of top experts. The key is that he has a fiery temper and even scolded Qin Chu so much that he was afraid to go to work.

Cattle!
