Healing Doctor

Chapter 408 The surgery was completed in the time it took to chat.

"Go!" Ji Xiang said with certainty.

Director Wang of the Vascular Department stared blankly at the small blue booklet in Ji Xiang's hand. It was an intermediate certificate. He had one too, but he had long ago thrown it into some unknown corner.

Sometimes he just misses the young face on his intermediate certificate, so Dr. Wang from the vascular department will look at it when he has time, but it's not of much use to him.

For Ji Xiang, a resident physician who had just passed the medical licensing exam, he barely had the qualifications to practice medicine and was not yet qualified to perform high-level surgeries.

This intermediate certificate is crucial.

The intermediate-level physician certificate was obtained before the physician certificate; Director Wang of the vascular department had never seen anything like it.

He wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat.

Director Bai has already found a scapegoat. If I were to express a different opinion, I might end up taking all the blame upon myself.

Director Sui was extremely anxious. The color of the patient's lower limbs was getting worse and worse after the operation, and it was visibly progressing towards necrosis.

Although the patient's family was informed before the operation, and that postoperative thrombosis was a key concern, they had already lost their composure when problems arose.

Director Sui knew that at this point, pre-operative instructions were practically useless, barely even enough to wipe one's bottom. It was best that Section Chief Bai was willing to step forward and take the blame; as for whether Ji Xiang lived or died in the end, it had nothing to do with him.

He immediately led a team to take the patient to the interventional catheterization lab in preparation for surgical treatment.

As for whether the patient will have other complications after the surgery... as long as Director Bai takes over, it's a hospital issue. Even if problems arise, when the blame falls, he'll be the one who suffers less.

"Director Liu, the young man you trained is really capable." Director Wang of the Vascular Department saw that Liu Zhi was also there, and roughly knew that he was with Director Bai, so he said to Director Liu.

"Hey, it's alright." Director Liu wasn't worried at all, and smiled instead.

"But the little guy is really arrogant." Director Wang of the Vascular Department said disdainfully, "When Director Bai told the truth and was about to shift the blame to him, he actually said 'okay'! He truly deserves to be the number one resident in the country."

The phrase "first in the country" is indeed accurate. Ji Xiang achieved the top score in the national exam, and everyone in the hospital, and even in the entire provincial medical community, knew about it.

But when it came out of Director Wang's mouth at this moment, it was laced with endless mockery.

Director Liu was displeased upon hearing this, and glanced at Director Wang, saying, "Yan Jun, what are you saying?"

"Isn't this blatantly setting Ji Xiang up? I...sigh, there's a problem with the vascular intima after thrombectomy, so a covered stent will definitely be needed. Dazhi, do you know what a surgical contraindication is? This is it!"

"If Xiao Ji says he can do it, then he definitely can." Director Liu tried to keep his tone calm. "The last person who said it couldn't be done is now buried with grass taller than a person."

"Tch, who is it?"

"Boss Qin Chu, the man of integrity in Shanghai," Liu Zhi said coldly.

"..." Director Wang of the Vascular Department was speechless.

In addition to surgical procedures, the vascular department also performs interventional procedures, including thrombectomy, thrombolysis, and stent placement.

So he remembered that Qin Chu wanted to take Ji Xiang as a student, but Ji Xiang had made him so unhappy that he probably didn't have many years left to live.

"Grave grass..." Director Wang of the Vascular Department recalled the patient's condition and said with certainty, "Even if Dr. Ji can remove the blood clot, the patient will definitely have problems 3 days after the operation."

"Yan Jun, are you having trouble with the surgery?" Director Liu asked with a genuinely impatient smile.

"..."

Director Wang of the Vascular Department paused for a moment.

"Xiao Ji's skills were already demonstrated during the last heart transplant, so don't worry. What we can do, Xiao Ji can also do; what we can't do, Xiao Ji can still do."

Although Director Liu replaced "you" with "us," Director Wang of the Vascular Department still felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard this.

Could Ji Xiang perform surgeries that he himself couldn't? Even after Ji Xiang demonstrated them, Director Wang of the Vascular Surgery Department still didn't believe it.

He has his pride and dignity.

Although not many.

If any director at the First Affiliated Hospital said it was okay, Wang Yanjun would have tolerated it, but who is Ji Xiang?! The top resident trainee in the country?

This title is a joke.

The patient was taken to the catheterization lab, and everyone followed to change clothes. Director Liu wasn't in a hurry; he leisurely followed behind, not rushing in immediately.

At the beginning, you need to position the patient, disinfect, lay out sheets, etc. There are many tasks and they are scattered. It takes at least 20 minutes to finish them.

"Dazhi, how did Dr. Xiaoji get promoted so leniently?" Seeing that everyone had left, Director Wang of the Vascular Department didn't want to go in immediately, so he chatted with Director Liu.

Director Liu's mood was clearly off, and Wang Yanjun wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Director Bai handled it. Xiao Ji has a paper in The Lancet and provincial natural sciences certification, so his qualifications are definitely sufficient. Whether he can be promoted through special channels depends on his connections. If Director Bai is willing to help, getting just an intermediate certificate is not difficult at all."

Seeing Liu Zhi's smugness, Director Wang of the Vascular Surgery Department was still uncomfortable and naturally retorted, "How come you urologists let Director Bai poach your people?"

"Hey," Director Liu chuckled, "It's because our hospital's interventional capabilities are weak, and Director Bai is unwilling to ask for favors. Look, the certificate has just come in handy."

Director Wang of the Vascular Department looked grim, but he knew what Director Bai meant and had no way to refute him.

"Yan Jun, sit down and rest," Director Liu said. "We'll go in in 20 minutes. By the way, are you having a lot of surgeries right now?"

The brief exchange just now seems to have been forgotten.

Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future. Who knows when you might need someone's help?

Director Wang of the Vascular Department seemed to have forgotten about it and started chatting with Director Liu.

The two of them kept checking the time while chatting.

After 18 minutes, Director Liu stood up.

"Let's go, the surgery should be underway, let's go in and take a look."

Wang Yanjun nodded.

As the two went outside, they saw the operating room door open, with Xu Leyu pushing a stretcher.

"Mr. Xu, what's going on?" Director Liu was taken aback.

He vaguely guessed the answer, but he couldn't believe it was true.

"The surgery is over, I'll take the patient home." Xu Leyu gave the answer that Director Liu had in mind.

"!!!"

"!!!"

"Mr. Xu, the surgery failed?! I told you, I told you..."

Finishing it so quickly, failure is inevitable.

Just like surgery, the fastest thing to do is always the "opening and closing" procedure—open it up to take a look, and if the tumor is different from what was assessed before the surgery, it can't be removed at all, so you can only close it up and declare the surgery over.

"The surgery went smoothly, and the blood clot was completely removed; it was about 8cm long."

As Xu Leyu spoke, he brushed past her and pushed the flatbed cart inside.

"Wow!"
