Chapter 437 What kind of content do you all like to read?

With Ji Xiang away from the hospital recently, Tang Yan has finally been able to relax and enjoy herself.

It was only then that Tang Yan realized just how much work Ji Xiang had actually done while he was there.

Without having to work overtime to perform surgeries, the hospital's night shifts didn't seem so bad anymore, and everything gradually returned to normal without us even realizing it.

But Tang Yan couldn't go out to play tonight. She received a call from Feng Yuqing, who invited her to watch her debut variety show together.

When Tang Yan arrived at Feng Yuqing's place, she was quite cautious. After all, she hadn't done much work recently, and she felt a little guilty in front of the "big boss".

"Yan'er, did you see the promotional poster?" Feng Yuqing asked with a smile.

"I saw it; my colleagues at the hospital all think Ji Xiang is going to leave," Tang Yan said.

"Walk?"

"If you can be a star, who would be a doctor? You're exhausted like a dog every day, and you don't even earn much. Look at Mao Mao, from nurse to star, all he had was one talent show," Tang Yan said. "If Mao Mao had stayed a male nurse, he'd probably have a herniated disc by now. Next stop, superstar!"

As Tang Yan spoke, she clenched her fist and made a gesture of effort.

"Why a herniated disc?" Feng Yuqing asked.

This kind of joke is basically incomprehensible to non-medical staff.

"Nurses move patients and check for bedsores; it's physically demanding work. If there were a male nurse, wouldn't he be forced to work like a slave? We have two male nurses in the ICU; one has been there for three years, and the other for a year and a half. They'd rather go home and live off their parents than work at the hospital," Tang Yan explained.

"Mao Mao's family is very capable."

"I'd rather be a freeloader than a nurse," Tang Yan said. "Being a doctor is a little better, but not by much. Being a celebrity is so much better; you can hold a concert every few years, and your life will be perfect."

Feng Yuqing glanced at Tang Yan, and seeing that she was speaking the truth, smiled slightly.

"How can you be so sure that Ji Xiang will become famous?" Feng Yuqing asked curiously.

"Sister Yuqing, look at the entertainment industry, how many people have truly outstanding physical attributes?" Tang Yan said. "Ji Xiang is tall, and has a nice butt..."

"How did you know?" Feng Yuqing frowned.

"Hahaha," Tang Yan laughed, "After scrubbing their hands, surgeons have to bend over to use the infrared sensor to open the operating room door, so they have perky butts from performing a lot of surgeries. That's hospital slang."

"..." Feng Yuqing was speechless.

"Actually, a lot of people are just envious and jealous, but I really think Ji Xiang can do it. Sister Yuqing, do you think if Ji Xiang becomes an overnight sensation, he'll never come back?"

"I don't know," Feng Yuqing said.

"Did you watch the show? Did Ji Xiang instantly turn into a little lamb?"

"I didn't see it. I don't understand hospitals, and I don't know those slang terms. For example, what you just said about having more surgeries making your butt stick out. If you don't work in a hospital, not many people would understand what that means."

As she spoke, Feng Yuqing couldn't help but chuckle.

On the projected screen, GG has already started playing.

"So many problems," Tang Yan grumbled. "Sister Yuqing, I heard the censorship is really strict now. I guess a lot of things that people want to see can't be broadcast. If this isn't allowed and that isn't allowed, is it still a hospital?"

"Besides, let's see how it goes. But Yan'er, what interesting things do you think would make people want to see at the hospital?"

"Once, when I was on duty in the thoracic surgery department, I heard a professor who was leading a group in the department say that he had gone to the countryside and met a patient with atrial fibrillation."

"What is atrial fibrillation?" Feng Yuqing asked.

"It's...it's the kind of thing where you have to defibrillate, like waking someone up with electric shocks from two irons," Tang Yan explained simply.

"Oh, I understand."

"As a result, the small hospital in the countryside only had one defibrillator, and it was out of power. In the ambulance, their doctors had no idea what to do."

"The person is dead," Feng Yuqing said indifferently.

She kept staring at the screen, not even missing the "GG" (male) images. As for whether the patient in Tang Yan's story lived or died, Feng Yuqing didn't really care.

"No, in a moment of panic, the professor in charge of the thoracic surgery department cut open the chest wall, inserted his hand along the ribs, and used his hand to directly squeeze the heart to help defibrillate."

"Oh?!" Feng Yuqing's attention was immediately drawn to it. She understood what Tang Yan meant. "This won't do. It's not allowed to be broadcast on variety shows. If people saw something this hot, they might have a few heart attacks. Who could stand that?"

"Yeah, that's why I don't think it's very interesting. Why don't you ask Netflix to make a sequel to House, called Dr. Ji Xiang?"

"Hmm? This seems interesting."

"Isn't Ji Xiang's demeanor much better than Dr. House's? A while ago, it was said that Ji Xiang went to the ER to find a doctor he clicked with and encountered a patient who had suffered cardiac arrest. Ji Xiang immediately straddled the patient and performed CPR—that was impressive!"

"ride?"

"That's roughly the idea. Normally, which junior doctor would dare to take action in a similar situation? But Ji Xiang did. He flipped over and jumped onto the stretcher, kneeling on the patient to perform CPR. It's a pity that these scenes will never be seen."

The two chatted idly while waiting for the show to start.

But there are so many guys, it's annoying.

"Sister Yuqing, do you think there might be medical disputes featured on variety shows?"

"Probably not," Feng Yuqing said. "You guys always talk about medical disputes, are there really that many?"

"Haha, when I first started working, I heard Dr. Sui from the orthopedics department mention something." Tang Yan excitedly avoided talking to her boyfriend and started gossiping to Feng Yuqing. "They said there was a car accident, and the injured person was a woman in her thirties who had fractures of the radius and ulna. She had surgery and was about to be discharged, but she refused to leave because she wouldn't pay the bills."

"This kind of thing is considered a medical malpractice?" Feng Yuqing said disdainfully, showing no interest whatsoever.

"Listen to me," Tang Yan continued, "Later, another young man came in. He ruptured his Achilles tendon while working at the company, had surgery, and was put in a cast. The surgery wasn't difficult, and he recovered very well. But suddenly one day, the young man's cast broke at the knee joint."

"You guys didn't tie it securely enough, did you?"

"Hehe, who knew? That's what I said at the time too. Director Sui was scared too. When he examined the patient, he found that the Achilles tendon had ruptured again. When asked about the situation, the patient only said that he fell when he went to the bathroom, the cast broke, and the Achilles tendon ruptured again."

"In a hospital, this kind of injury is definitely related to the hospital, so Director Sui started to check the surveillance footage."

"And then?"

"We searched for a long time but couldn't find him. The young man wouldn't be discharged from the hospital, saying that if he became disabled, his employer wouldn't recognize it as a work-related injury, and he had to recover before being discharged."

"So the two of them just stayed there, for months on end. They told the medical department, but who dared to kick them out? It was easy to kick them out, but the aftermath would be a huge problem. Director Bai gave Director Sui a good scolding and told him to handle it himself."

"Shifting the blame, that's normal. By the way, are these two hooking up?" Feng Yuqing asked.

This is easy to guess.
