Healing Doctor

Chapter 439 Like celebrating the New Year

"Tianjiao, what are you doing?"

Seeing his son hiding in the house, staring at his phone with a "ferocious" expression and a tense body, Zhao Jixiang asked him in confusion.

Zhao Tianjiao pursed his lips and frowned.

"What happened?"

"Dad, Ji Xiang is on a variety show." Zhao Tianjiao tried hard to suppress the jealousy in his heart and said in as calm a tone as possible.

But the flames of jealousy had completely changed him.

"Come out and take a look," Zhao Jixiang said calmly.

At home, Zhao Tianjiao still listens to his grandfather. Although he doesn't want to, his body tells him otherwise.

After bringing out the tablet and setting up screen mirroring, Zhao Tianjiao and his grandfather sat on the sofa watching TV.

Zhao Jixiang's wife hadn't seen this scene for many years, so she happily sat down next to him.

In recent years, the family hasn't even sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve; they all do their own thing. But now, sitting together watching a variety show, Zhao Jixiang's wife feels a sense of warmth.

but.

Zhao Jixiang and his son Zhao Tianjiao watched the variety show in silence, not saying a word, a stark contrast to the lively and festive atmosphere of Lunar New Year's Eve.

"Is this a medical variety show?" Zhao Jixiang's partner asked in surprise after taking a few glances.

"Yes." Zhao Jixiang nodded. "This young man is Ji Xiang, the one who broke my record."

"So it was him!" Zhao Jixiang's wife finally understood why the father and son had been watching the variety show so seriously.

Normally, neither of them gets involved in variety shows, and they don't pay any attention to them at all.

No wonder.

"This young man is too arrogant. No matter how well he does on the written test, he should wait for others to hand in their papers before he does. That's basic manners; he has no emotional intelligence at all," commented Zhao Jixiang's wife.

Zhao Jixiang knew she was nitpicking from her son's perspective, so he shook his head and said fairly, "Ji Xiang's grades have always been excellent, achieving a perfect score and ranking first in the country. This is something that not everyone can do."

Crunch, crunch~~

Zhao Tianjiao clenched his fists, making a sound that made people's teeth ache and ears hurt.

"It's just a first place, even if it's national. This kid is a bit arrogant, and arrogance won't take him far," said Zhao Jixiang's wife. "As for a perfect score, it only proves his past achievements; it's not useful for the future."

Zhao Jixiang didn't continue speaking, but instead watched the other people's performances as the camera moved.

Apart from Ji Xiang, everyone else was quite inexperienced.

Even the person who had worked at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Medical University for a year was considered a novice by Zhao Jixiang.

Ji Xiang is the only exception.

"I watched the first two seasons of this show. All the participants were newbies and they were taught a terrible lesson," Zhao Jixiang's wife said with a smile. "Ji Xiang wanted to stand out, but I reckon the more he did that, the worse he would fare."

"That girl who's pursuing a PhD seems pretty good. I think she'll definitely catch up and eventually crush Ji Xiang."

Zhao Jixiang and Zhao Tianjiao remained silent, their eyes glued to the television, not even missing the GG segment.

The father and son looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, which puzzled Zhao Jixiang's wife.

Upon entering the department, the camera focused on Ji Xiang.

A patient with no "trouble" was about to be discharged, and the hospital's chief resident, along with Ji Xiang and Zhao Mengmeng, went on rounds.

"I knew it would be the mildest case," Zhao Tianjiao said with a sneer. "Who would agree to that? The really seriously ill patients."

"This approach is very sophisticated," Zhao Jixiang said. "Find a long-term patient who is frequently hospitalized, whose gallbladder has already been removed, and he only needs intravenous antibiotics each time he is hospitalized. And Tianjiao, did you notice? This might be a difficult problem that the department head designed intentionally or unintentionally."

"A problem?" Zhao Tianjiao was taken aback.

What is a patient who is stubborn and opinionated called clinically?

"The compliance rate is low, so we have to be extremely careful. Mr. Xu taught me that," Zhao Tianjiao replied.

"Finding a patient with extremely low compliance, one that even the head of the department couldn't handle, and having two novices try their luck—it seems the First Affiliated Hospital is still quite resistant to variety shows." Zhao Jixiang smiled slightly. "Just wait and see, this patient will make Ji Xiang look foolish."

"Dealing with patients who have low compliance is a real headache." Zhao Tianjiao stared at the screen. "When I was in orthopedics, when I was putting on a cast, the patients would ask me a lot of questions, from the manufacturer of the cast to the application technique. Dad, I was very patient in explaining at first, but the patients and their families were just too difficult to deal with."

"Patients now have too many ways to obtain information about their diseases, and the information from these channels is very disorganized. If patients or their families cannot distinguish between these sources, it may interfere with the advice given by doctors when seeking medical treatment," Zhao Jixiang explained.

"Simply put, patients and their families have more choices, and their information channels are not as closed as before. However, they are not experts, so this situation has arisen."

"If you trust our Second Affiliated Hospital, come here; if you don't, you can go to the First Affiliated Hospital, or there are other hospitals." Zhao Tianjiao said to the TV without realizing it.

Zhao Jixiang glanced at Zhao Tianjiao and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

On the screen, Zhai Yuhan was communicating with Ji Xiang and Zhao Mengmeng. Her thinking was very clear, and she also gave a plan for the subsequent examinations and treatments.

Unfortunately, the patient disagreed, and there was nothing Zhai Yuhan could do.

"As a clinician, you need strong communication skills with patients and their families. Ji Xiang, you are now the attending physician, responsible for explaining the situation to the patients and their families and persuading them."

Zhai Yuhan and Ji Xiang explained.

Upon hearing the words of the chief resident of the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhao Jixiang smiled slightly and gently stretched his limbs.

"Dad, is this making Ji Xiang do an impossible task?" Zhao Tianjiao asked.

"Hmm." Zhao Jixiang smiled and said, "The patients that even Director Yang, who performs surgery on patients, couldn't persuade, and the patients that even the chief resident who has been in charge of the ward and communicating with patients couldn't persuade, are handed over to interns."

As he spoke, his smile widened.

A relieved smile appeared on Zhao Tianjiao's face.

He was really looking forward to it, hoping that Ji Xiang would embarrass himself. This time, it wouldn't be a simple matter of being scolded by a senior doctor at the hospital; it would be embarrassing him across the entire internet!

He was told to proudly participate in some variety show, thinking the production team would take care of him, but he was tricked by the "insidious" director and chief resident of the First Affiliated Hospital.

Zhai Yuhan was definitely doing it on purpose; Zhao Tianjiao could even tell the level of danger of the trap from Zhai Yuhan's tone and body language.

"Hahaha." Zhao Tianjiao laughed out loud.

"Mengmeng, this is normal when you first enter clinical practice. You've always done basic research, so it's understandable that you don't understand." Zhai Yuhan chatted with Zhao Mengmeng, comforting her.

In a flash, another set of cameras followed Ji Xiang to ward number 12.
