Healing Doctor

Chapter 410 Variety Shows

After Ji Xiang finished the surgery and sent the patient home, he asked Xu Leyu to call a bedside ultrasound. Only after checking the blood vessels did he feel relieved.

Although he had performed the surgery many times in the operating room, he felt that he had been corrupted by Colonel Wang, Mo Chenggui, and Director Liu, and had developed severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, it's fine. Ji Xiang doesn't mind being overly cautious, even if it increases his workload.

The patient did indeed have a problem with his blood vessels, but according to the system NPC's explanation, this was one way to resolve the issue. As for why the blood clot occurred, Ji Xiang considered it to be due to an error made by Director Sui during the operation, which led to a tear in the popliteal artery intima.

Although Director Sui didn't say it explicitly, Ji Xiang knew he understood this, so Ji Xiang didn't bring it up either.

After changing his clothes and going home, Ji Xiang was a little happy.

Working with Director Bai, and having such an understanding boss, is truly a pleasant experience. Whatever I want, I don't even need to look at him; Director Bai gets it done and delivers it to my doorstep.

Ji Xiang touched the intermediate certificate in his pocket, feeling inexplicably pleased.

From now on, I won't be so restricted when performing interventional surgeries. Although there are relatively few surgeries that an intermediate-level professional can perform, there are always many ambiguities in the regulations. Plus, with Director Bai protecting me, there shouldn't be any problems.

As Ji Xiang pondered whether he should first obtain his associate chief physician certificate in interventional radiology or his intermediate-level certificate in urology, his phone rang.

"Feed?"

"Yuqing, what's up?"

"Ji Xiang, my company is preparing a variety show and would like to invite you to participate."

"I'm not going."

Ji Xiang answered crisply and clearly.

Why?

"I need to have surgery, why would I participate in variety shows? I'm not mentally ill."

"There are variety shows about medicine," Feng Yuqing continued to persuade.

"I'm not going." Ji Xiang didn't want to hear her explanation at all, and stated his attitude without giving any room for negotiation.

Feng Yuqing hung up the phone.

Ji Xiang had no intention of participating in variety shows or anything like that; he wasn't interested in those kinds of things.

Some people like to be in the limelight, but Ji Xiang doesn't.

"Keep a low profile and you'll live longer"—that's the worldview my father always instilled in me. Besides, medicine is a very serious matter; what can you possibly film on TV?

Ji Xiang didn't think there was anything worth filming.

Do you want to see healthcare workers working hours far exceeding 996?

After returning home and washing up, Ji Xiang petted the roe deer while telling the old man about his recent experiences. He then took out a small blue notebook to show the old man.

Only now did Ji Xiang feel some relief and joy.

After washing up and going to the operating room for training, I fell into a deep sleep after exhausting all my energy.

The next morning, as soon as Ji Xiang arrived at the hospital, he saw Dean Sun and Director Bai in the department.

Ji Xiang's first thought was that they were coming to see yesterday's patient, so he quickened his pace to change clothes and check the pulse of the patient's dorsalis pedis artery, but Director Bai stopped him directly.

"Dr. Ji, come here for a moment, the hospital director wants to see you."

"Oh." Ji Xiang followed him to Director Sui's office.

"Dr. Ji, yesterday I received an invitation from a program team. They said they're looking for the first doctor in the country to get a perfect score on the professional medical exam to participate in a variety show," Dean Sun said with a smile to Ji Xiang.

"Dean Sun, they contacted me yesterday, but I refused," Ji Xiang said decisively and without any ambiguity.

"Why?" Dean Sun was taken aback.

"I still need to complete my residency training, so I don't have time to participate in variety shows," Ji Xiang replied simply.

Dean Sun, Director Bai, and Director Sui were speechless in the face of Ji Xiang's answer.

Participating in variety shows is something many young people dream of, but Ji Xiang refused without hesitation.

Dean Sun thought about it again and realized the deeper meaning behind the phone call he received last night.

"Dr. Ji, sit down and let's talk," Dean Sun said with a smile.

"I inquired and found that the participants in the program are all young doctors and resident physicians. The program was recorded at a top-tier tertiary hospital in the country, and the content mainly includes medical consultations and other related projects."

"Oh," Ji Xiang responded, his expression a silent answer to his refusal.

"Isn't this great?" Dean Sun asked doubtfully. "Don't you want to be on camera? I feel that young people should like it."

"Dean Sun, I have a provincial science project on hand, and some patients who need surgery. I really can't leave," Ji Xiang explained helplessly.

When Dean Sun heard Ji Xiang's explanation, he felt like he was dreaming.

Ji Xiang was so young, yet he sat in front of me talking eloquently about provincial natural sciences and surgical research projects.

These young people these days are really something. They managed to gain Director Bai's approval and secure a provincial natural science project in such a short time.

"Xiao Ji." Seeing that Dean Sun remained silent, Director Bai smiled slightly. "The point isn't this program."

"Director Bai, what do you mean...?"

"The urology guidelines state that bleeding after partial nephrectomy should be treated by interventional radiology, but let alone ordinary people, how many people in the hospital know about interventional radiology?"

Ji Xiang nodded.

Director Bai's words were not an exaggeration. Even in the hospital, very few people knew that an interventional radiology department existed. Even those who did know only vaguely; few could clearly explain what surgeries the interventional department could perform or the postoperative results.

"Your project, after starting for a while, seems to be going smoothly, but there are still problems. Have you noticed them?" Director Bai persuaded patiently.

"We found it," Ji Xiang replied truthfully. "The patient didn't understand interventional radiology, so we had to perform embolization before a partial nephrectomy. Fortunately, Director Liu helped us, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to proceed at all."

He understood what Director Bai meant.

It must be said that Director Bai understands me best, and his way of persuading me is particularly novel and hits the nail on the head.

"Dr. Xiao Ji," Director Bai emphasized, "this is a platform, a rare opportunity for publicity. You must seize it."

Ji Xiang frowned slightly.

"Wouldn't it be better if you treated this program not as a show, but as a large-scale science popularization platform?"

"Can I have surgery over there...?" Ji Xiang asked, then stopped abruptly.

Director Bai can't do this, and neither can Dean Sun. If I really want to do it, I should just go directly to Feng Yuqing.

"Okay, Dean Sun, Director Bai, then I agree." Ji Xiang nodded.

Dean Sun smiled broadly.

You have to say that Elder Bai is very shrewd; he understands what Ji Xiang wants most.

As for Ji Xiang, what chance does a little monkey have of escaping Director Bai's grasp?

"That's good. I'll contact them. You can tell me if you need anything." Director Bai smiled slightly, his words perfectly timed.
