Healing Doctor

Chapter 464 The society is dead!

Ji Xiang and Director Yang left the doctor's office, followed by a group of cameramen who went to the director's office.

Director Yang slammed the door, blocking the film crew from entering.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, this is a hospital. How can you say such things! It can cause patients a lot of psychological stress; it's terrifying!"

The microphone posted on the doorway carried Director Yang's stern reprimand.

Zhao Tianjiao couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, look, Ji Xiang got scolded."

Zhao Jixiang found it strange. Based on his understanding of Ji Xiang, Ji Xiang had never had a bad temper and should not have done such a thing.

It was obvious that Director Yang was already dissatisfied with the extremely oppressive posture and tone he had used on Ji Xiang in the doctor's office, but because the film crew was present, he couldn't lose his temper in front of the cameras, so he pulled Ji Xiang to the director's office.

Strange, Ji Xiang knew he would be scolded, so why did he still do it?

Zhao Jixiang looked at the screen with a puzzled expression. He didn't think Ji Xiang was stupid or arrogant; there must be a reason behind it.

But Zhao Jixiang didn't know why.

There's something strange about this.

……

Qin Chu didn't follow along, but Ling Tian secretly watched the latest episode of the variety show in his office.

When Ling Tian heard about the patient's condition, his face turned extremely ugly, and the moment Ji Xiang adopted an extremely oppressive posture, it immediately stirred up memories he didn't want to recall.

Oh shit!

Ling Tian cursed viciously in his heart.

He was scolding Ji Xiang, but he wasn't really scolding Ji Xiang, because Ling Tian vaguely guessed what was going to happen next.

Ling Tian never expected that a variety show would involve him and his boss.

This is social death, social death!

A surge of anger and rage welled up within me, a raging torrent that would never cease.

Ling Tian stared intently at his phone screen, his hand gripping the phone making a cracking sound.

"What are you doing?" Director Yang's voice came through the door of the director's office and reached Ling Tian's ears.

"I didn't even know interventional surgery was possible! But this is late-stage cancer, late-stage cancer! What's the use of interventional surgery? Besides, doesn't Shanghai have an interventional radiology department? They would have seen me there first."

As expected, my guesses were all correct!

Ling Tianzhen wanted to cut off the signal of the variety show. He knew very well what Ji Xiang would say if it continued.

"Director Yang, it's because there's an interventional radiology department in Shanghai, and I saw it too..."

"The patient received treatment at the Shanghai Hepatobiliary Surgery Center, which is one of the top hepatobiliary surgery centers in China."

The conversation continued to be heard.

A loud squeaking sound, like a mouse gnawing on a phone, filled the air.

Fortunately, the director blurred out the following dialogue, leaving it open-ended, which gave Ling Tian and Qin Chu a way out.

Company dies x2.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, that's going too far! You need to know what an intern is supposed to do!"

A blurred dialogue successfully piqued the audience's curiosity, followed by Director Yang's angry roar.

Ling Tian had already mentally rehearsed the blurred dialogue in the middle. His hands were ice-cold, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Regarding the patient just now, is surgery possible?

Yes, it can be done.

At least Ling Tian can do it himself, and can even guarantee a success rate of over 50%, which can extend the patient's life by 1-3 years.

But Ling Tian didn't want to think about the fact that although he could do it and was capable of doing it, he basically never did it.

My hospital is, after all, the largest hepatobiliary surgery hospital in the country, providing ample opportunities for contrast imaging procedures. Why exert all my strength and endure more strain to earn money standing up when I can earn money lying down?

But can these things be said openly?

Everyone knows that it's easy to just gloss over it; it's perfectly fine if everyone understands without saying a word.

But at this moment, this conversation appeared on online programs and variety shows, attracting millions of viewers and tens of millions of clicks.

Society is dead!

Society is dead!!

Society is dead!!!

Ling Tian's mind went blank.

Even though Director Fan tried to blur the lines to prevent the conflict from becoming more acute, he still considered the countless possibilities that might follow.

……

Director Bai's expression was solemn, and Director Liu stopped drinking. The two stared blankly at the screen.

This show is likely to become a huge hit, and that fire might spread to the medical field.

Burn it completely clean.

Burn it until it's all white.

Although the director wisely avoided vetting some sensitive topics and didn't directly provoke a conflict, everyone in the industry knew what Ji Xiang and Director Yang were talking about.

"Old Bai, Ji Xiang will face even greater pressure from now on," Director Liu said solemnly.

"I'm not afraid," Director Bai said in a deep voice after waiting for nearly ten seconds.

He only said two words, which hit Director Liu like a stone.

The two stopped talking and silently watched television.

……

"Dad, why is Ji Xiang arguing with Director Yang?" Zhao Tianjiao asked, puzzled. "Isn't that a bit too disrespectful?"

"Rules..." Zhao Jixiang pondered, "Tianjiao, did you know that Jixiang went to Shanghai once a few months ago?"

"I know, they came back looking rather dejected," Zhao Tianjiao said.

"No." Zhao Jixiang tried to keep his tone calm, because his heart was also in turmoil.

"Dad, what's with that expression? Did Ji Xiang talk back to the department head?" Zhao Tianjiao asked.

"When Ji Xiang went to the Shanghai Liver and Gallbladder Hospital, I heard that he pointed his finger at the expert and berated him mercilessly."

"!!!" Zhao Tianjiao really didn't know there was such a secret. He looked at his old man in surprise.

"I reckon the blurred part of the conversation was Ji Xiang talking about Qin Chu, the boss of the interventional hepatobiliary surgery department in Shanghai," Zhao Jixiang said.

He used the word "said" because Zhao Jixiang felt that any other word would be inappropriate.

"How dare he!" Zhao Tianjiao was utterly astonished.

"Ji Xiang dares to do it," Zhao Jixiang said calmly.

……

……

"Hahaha, see what I told you!" Feng Yuqing sat up straight, looking at the projected screen, laughing heartily. "Ji Xiang's lousy temper!"

While Feng Yuqing laughed heartily, Tang Yan trembled with fear.

Although it was a variety show, and it's possible that the production team arranged it intentionally, Tang Yan was still terrified.

Speaking to a senior doctor like that, not giving an inch, Tang Yan's mind was filled with the image of Ji Xiang clenching his fists, leaning forward, and speaking to Director Yang in a very authoritative way.

"Ji Xiang is really bold," was Tang Yan's only thought.

Perhaps outsiders like Feng Yuqing wouldn't notice and might think Ji Xiang had a bad temper, but Tang Yan knew how much courage it took for Ji Xiang to stand in front of the director and say so much.

"Director Yang, you are a doctor and an elder, and I respect you, but please think about what a doctor should do!"

Ji Xiang's voice came through.

Tang Yan was taken aback.
