Healing Doctor

Chapter 310 Grand Ceremony (Bonus Chapter 5 by Alliance Leader Blowfly)

Professor Deng made his rounds early in the morning.

Patients who underwent lumbar spondylosis are recovering well. Although they are gradually losing weight, their pain has been greatly relieved, and they look like they can live for several more months. Moreover, their quality of life will be improved during this time.

The goal of treatment has been achieved; since a cure is not possible, the focus should be on improving the quality of life.

The patient's family members were calmed down, and a huge disaster was suppressed. Professor Deng was grateful to Ji Xiang, who came to "save" Taiwan that day.

"Teacher Deng, I'm going to the cardiothoracic surgery department now."

After finishing his rounds, Zhao Tianjiao spoke respectfully to Professor Deng.

"Come back often to perform surgeries, see patients more often, and participate in the resident on-call duties more frequently. You'll have a high chance of getting hands-on experience with some minor surgeries performed in the emergency room at night," Professor Deng said to Zhao Tianjiao with a smile.

"Thank you, Teacher Deng."

"We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite."

Although he said he was being impolite, Professor Deng was very polite, since everyone knew who was behind Zhao Tianjiao.

"Teacher Deng, is vertebral body resection surgery really that difficult?" Zhao Tianjiao asked.

Professor Deng knew he was unconvinced.

Being rebuffed by Director Bai in the operating room that day was a major trauma for a proud young man like Zhao Tianjiao, so it was understandable that he was unwilling to accept it.

But what does he have to compare with Ji Xiang?

Professor Deng didn't try to dissuade Zhao Tianjiao. He had always been very interested in Ji Xiang, from the hospital entrance exam to the bicycle, and then to the lumbar transverse artery embolization.

Ji Xiang's methods have far exceeded my understanding.

"Teacher, I'll go to the thoracic surgery department now," Zhao Tianjiao said reluctantly.

"Go ahead, go and register first. You can come back anytime you want. No one in the thoracic department will give you a hard time." Professor Deng waved his hand with a smile.

As I left the ward, a group of people walked into the ward area.

Deng Chaohong was taken aback. He was somewhat dazed. Was today a grand ward round day? Grand ward rounds were usually only held in internal medicine. Surgery was relatively more rugged. Usually, when his own department did ward rounds, not everyone was present, let alone when several different departments did ward rounds together.

In surgery, it's rare to see so many people in white coats together.

It's not like it's a major emergency.

Upon closer inspection, the two leading figures turned out to be... Director Liu of the Urology Department and Ji Xiang.

"Professor Deng, where is Director Sui?" Director Liu asked.

"He should be in his office." Deng Chaohong looked at the scene before him with a puzzled expression. "Director Liu, what's going on?"

"Xiao Ji is on rotation today, so I brought him along. Don't treat him like a precious treasure in our department, but let him suffer in your orthopedics department."

That's incredibly direct and shameless!

Deng Chaohong stared blankly at Director Liu, inwardly speechless.

Is it worth it for a residency training program?

worth!

A voice shouted loudly in Deng Chaohong's heart.

Deng Chaohong was struck by a sudden inspiration. Several moments from the past three months flooded his mind, and he seemed to feel the call of fate. His heart was pounding, and he showed signs of atrial fibrillation.

Zhao Tianjiao watched as a group of people from the urology department brought Ji Xiang to the orthopedics department. His eyes were red and swollen, like a rabbit's.

The head of the urology department and several professors leading their groups sent Ji Xiang to the orthopedics department for standardized training. I've never even received such treatment!

To avoid suspicion, my father would definitely not go to such lengths.

Moreover, Zhao Tianjiao knew that even if he had given prior notice, at most he would only be allowed to perform a few surgeries within his capabilities.

The actions of Director Liu and other professors in the Department of Urology have exceeded my comprehension.

Just like Deng Chaohong, he had no intention of sending himself to the thoracic surgery department.

"Professor Deng, you're busy. I'll take Dr. Xiao Ji to see your Director Sui," Director Liu said with a smile.

Deng Chaohong didn't leave, but followed behind quietly and stealthily, like a thief.

Director Liu knocked on the door familiarly, and pushed it open before anyone inside could speak.

"Old Liu? What brings you here?" Director Sui asked in surprise.

"Dr. Xiao Ji is rotating through your department for residency training today, so I brought him here." Director Liu sat directly on the bed in Director Sui's duty room and crossed his legs.

"Uh..." Director Sui paused for a moment, then looked at Ji Xiang with great interest.

Although he was just a resident trainee, Director Sui had already heard of Ji Xiang's reputation.

They broke Dean Zhao's knot-tying record, which had been held for over twenty years, in the competition, and not just once. It's impossible not to know about this.

In addition to the recent incident involving the embolization of the transverse lumbar artery, Director Sui also became quite interested in this young man.

But Director Liu went a bit too far. Was it really worth it for the sake of a resident physician?

"Old Liu, you've gone too far," Director Sui said dismissively. "A simple phone call would have sufficed. Why make such a fuss? It'll only embarrass Xiao Ji."

"Hahaha." Director Liu laughed heartily.

Ji Xiang awkwardly scratched the ground with his foot, really wanting to give Director Liu a [superior doctor's gaze] right now.

"Xiao Ji was conducting research in my urology department, and Director Bai took it very seriously, even transferring a doctor from a lower-level hospital to come over. After Xiao Ji left, the research couldn't continue, so I brought him here to let you know in advance."

"..."

Director Sui had no idea about this.

Scientific research? Is that something that resident trainees can get involved in?

Director Sui glanced at Deng Chaohong, seemingly casually. Everyone knows what scientific research is all about—it's all about putting on a show for promotion or making your resume look better.

It's truly useful, but it's also truly useless.

Zhao Tianjiao published an article in a nationally recognized journal, with Deng Chaohong as the corresponding author—this is the highest level of treatment.

But for the scientific research that Director Liu mentioned, Director Bai actually transferred a doctor from a grassroots hospital to the position!

This is no small matter.

Director Sui asked with great interest.

Director Liu proudly explained to him the newly launched project of partial nephrectomy after embolization.

With hybridization surgeries being performed routinely, Director Sui immediately became cautious.

He had the most contact with orthopedics in the surgical system and hybrid surgery, so of course he knew the ins and outs of it.

Director Liu's caution reveals his true intentions.

"Old Liu, you think you can keep someone like Xiao Ji? Don't be ridiculous." Director Sui said with a smile, "People who come to my orthopedics department are orthopedic people."

After speaking, Director Sui looked up at Ji Xiang before Director Liu could object.

This young man is really tall.

"Dr. Ji, we can discuss keeping anyone with a doctorate in urology, but keeping someone in our orthopedics department... we haven't had any new recruits for five years. In the surgical system, our orthopedics department is the best."

Are you interested?

Faced with Director Sui's "shameless" behavior, Director Liu and the urology department staff remained silent.

Indeed, orthopedics is the most lucrative department in the surgical system, offering high pay, low workload, and minimal responsibility. Urology simply cannot compare.

"Professor Deng, it's good that you're here. You can take care of Dr. Xiao Ji."

"German orthopedics," Director Liu said disdainfully.
