Healing Doctor

Chapter 434: Did he bring his parents along?

After the grand rounds of the hepatobiliary surgery department, Director Yang looked at Ji Xiang with newfound respect.

As expected of Qin Chu, the boss of Shanghai, he went to great lengths to recruit the medical student, even bringing in an academician to oversee the project, only to be directly rejected and berated to the point of becoming withdrawn.

He has an extremely solid foundation in basic skills and rich clinical experience, and he also solved two major problems in one day.

Zhai Yuhan's handling of the situation last night was not wrong. It is normal procedure for patients to go to the emergency department for observation and to deal with problems as they arise. There is nothing wrong with that.

Ji Xiang was able to resolve the issue "by chance" ahead of schedule, but... Director Yang felt that Ji Xiang was just lucky.

But when viewed alongside patients who had undergone "stubborn" cholecystectomy, Director Yang shared the same misconception as Professor Shen in the commentary room—this was hardly a newly graduated medical student still in residency training; he was clearly a seasoned attending physician who had been working in the clinic for over a decade and had become incredibly experienced.

Director Yang has seen many child prodigies before; the world is never short of geniuses.

But geniuses either have an exceptionally strong memory, able to memorize a textbook the size of their height after reading it in three days; or they have exceptional practical skills, able to learn any surgery after seeing it only once.

While we don’t yet know about Ji Xiang’s other merits, Director Yang was amazed by his attitude towards patients and his emotional intelligence.

She can persuade stubborn patients who absolutely refuse to undergo further examinations, and she can also take notice of a patient who is perfectly fine, running to the emergency room to remind the patient to be careful of choking if they vomit again.

Director Yang didn't say anything after that. His expression remained normal, but his mind was racing with thoughts of Ji Xiang.

This young man seems really good. The production team negotiated with the hospital and said that in the end, they would "select the best" to keep one or two medical students.

Should I keep Ji Xiang with me?

Once the thought crossed his mind, Director Yang found Ji Xiang increasingly pleasing to the eye and began to covet this young intern.

But he still needed to be given a warning, to make him aware of his shortcomings, Director Yang thought to himself.

After recounting the case of gallbladder torsion, Ji Xiang stood silently in the corner, neither arrogant nor deliberately humble, and he did not pretend to be diligently studying and recording other people's case analyses with a pen and notebook.

He just stood there quietly, doing nothing of value.

Director Yang particularly appreciates this about Ji Xiang; the more he looks at him, the more pleasing he becomes, and the more he likes him.

Some young people's pantomime performances are so fake, yet they seem to enjoy it immensely. I really don't know what they're thinking.

"Director, would you like to offer your comments?" the professor next to Director Yang whispered.

"No, you tell me."

The professor glanced at the film crew.

Director Yang snorted, "Ignore them."

The professor in charge of the group had no choice but to nod. He didn't understand what the director meant. At first, Director Yang's words were sharp, showing no respect for the interns on the show.

But now the director remained silent, only glancing at the young man named Ji Xiang from time to time.

Director Yang remained silent, and the atmosphere immediately softened considerably.

Although the large-scale room check organized for the program team started strong but ended weakly, Director Fan didn't have any good solutions when faced with the uncooperative Director Yang.

Fortunately, Ji Xiang's performance was outstanding, brilliant, and dramatic enough. With some editing, the production team could use it.

But Director Fan still felt some regret, mainly for Ji Xiang.

This young man didn't seem like a young person at all. He wasn't arrogant or showing off. He finished speaking and left it at that. Director Yang didn't bother to ask him any unnecessary questions.

The plot needs enough conflict; Ji Xiang's personality isn't actually what a perfect reality show needs.

Like Director Yang, Director Fan glanced at Ji Xiang every now and then; he both loved and hated Ji Xiang. If this kid performed even better, the ratings could increase by another 5 points.

That's at least.

Ji Xiang has solid hardware, and his medical software is also top-notch, which will definitely add a lot of luster to the program.

Pity.

The subsequent medical record reviews were unremarkable, but the department had already scheduled time, so the film crew had no choice but to slack off.

Two and a half hours later, the meeting ended, and Director Yang gave a rather formal summary.

Everyone is busy with their own things; even if there are no surgeries today, patients still need various treatments.

During the lunch break, Zhai Yuhan approached Ji Xiang and asked, "Dr. Ji Xiang, would you like to eat at the cafeteria or order takeout for lunch?"

"I..." Ji Xiang hesitated for a moment.

"You don't have a cafeteria card, right?" Zhai Yuhan asked understandingly with a smile. "Then let's order food. Zhao Mengmeng, what do you want to eat?"

Zhao Mengmeng looked at Zhai Yuhan blankly, as if she were wearing a mask, her expression blank.

Having only been in the clinical setting for a few days, and still largely performing, Zhao Mengmeng had already experienced the "perils" of clinical life. Her previous values ​​and understanding had been shattered.

This world is too treacherous; Zhao Mengmeng wants to go back to the ivory tower.

Seeing Zhao Mengmeng's bewildered expression, Zhai Yuhan knew she was so shocked she was questioning her existence. She then looked at Ji Xiang and asked, "Dr. Ji Xiang, what would you like to eat?"

"Or... I'll do it," Ji Xiang replied after thinking for a moment.

Although the meal wouldn't cost much, it wouldn't be right to let the intern pay for it, so Zhai Yuhan declined Ji Xiang's suggestion.

Ji Xiang didn't insist, but when it came time to order food, he ordered a whole bunch of things.

Zhai Yuhan said with a hint of helplessness, "Dr. Ji Xiang, enough is enough. There's so much waste."

"Teacher Zhai, the other two people in my medical team also need to eat," Ji Xiang explained.

Medical team?

Zhai Yuhan was a little confused.

The interns all came on their own, but Ji Xiang even brought his "parents" with him?

I guess the medical team wanted to see how a variety show is filmed, so they came to watch the spectacle.

Just treat it as a holiday.

Zhai Yuhan smiled; this guess was definitely correct.

Yes, Ji Xiang is very strong, so strong that he doesn't seem like an intern or resident trainee at all. If anyone isn't blind, they would definitely pull him into the medical team.

This is a great "henchman"—young, alluring, and full of energy, capable of performing surgeries all night long.

Thinking about this, Zhai Yuhan felt a mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

Although she is already considered a top-tier female resident surgeon at a top-tier hospital in China, a rare achievement among her peers, Zhai Yuhan still feels envious of Ji Xiang, and even a little jealous.

After ordering her food, Zhai Yuhan began to look at her medical records.

A dozen minutes later.

"Xiao Ji." A middle-aged man's voice came.

Zhai Yuhan looked up and saw Zhao Zhe standing at the door.

"You must be the professor leading the Jixiang Medical Group," Zhai Yuhan asked politely as she stood up.

We must give sufficient respect to our seniors in the medical field, and Zhai Yuhan did not disregard this point because they came from a hospital of a lower level than her own.

"Oh, you wouldn't dare say that. I work for Xiao Ji." Zhao Zhe said with a big smile, looking like a grandson.
