Healing Doctor

Chapter 492 The Combination of Reality and Animation

"Dad, I don't understand this surgery," Zhao Tianjiao said honestly.

Dean Zhao gave his son a brief explanation of the surgical principles.

Although he wasn't an interventional radiology doctor, Dean Zhao had an excellent relationship with Wang Gang back then. It was precisely because of Wang Gang's departure that the story of the later reunion and separation of the "Four Great Doctors" of the interventional radiology department unfolded. Because of Wang Gang, Dean Zhao had some understanding of interventional procedures back then. He wouldn't call himself a professional, but he could explain it to his son.

"And then, Dad?" Zhao Tianjiao asked.

"Wait a moment," Dean Zhao said, "Let's see how the surgery is performed."

"???" Zhao Tianjiao was completely puzzled.

However, judging from his grandfather's expression, he knew he couldn't disturb his grandfather's train of thought at this moment, so he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and look on with suspicion.

In the program, the interventional surgery had already ended, and Director Li Ming began to explain the surgery that had just taken place in front of the camera.

This episode truly captured the interventional surgery very thoroughly, and Director Li Ming explained it in great detail.

Although it might not be very useful for an ordinary person to hear it once, Zhao Tianjiao, who had no prior knowledge of interventional surgery, immediately understood how the next step of the surgery would be performed after hearing his explanation.

However, Zhao Tianjiao still didn't quite understand what his father had said.

However, Zhao Tianjiao felt uncomfortable with Director Li Ming's enthusiasm for Ji Xiang. After explaining the basic surgical procedure, Director Li Ming began to communicate with Ji Xiang in front of the camera.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianjiao was consumed by jealousy.

"Generally, superselection up to level 4 arterial branches is sufficient, and ordinary interventional physicians can barely manage to superselect up to level 3," Director Li said earnestly. "I spoke with Dr. Ji during the surgery just now, and he said we could try superselecting one more time."

Director Li spared no praise or compliment for Ji Xiang.

Zhao Tianjiao was almost burned to ashes by anger.

But he caught a glimpse of his father sitting upright, watching intently as if he were watching the evening news.

The old man would watch the news broadcast whenever he didn't have social engagements, something Zhao Tianjiao had never understood since she was a child.

But as Zhao Tianjiao grew older, he vaguely understood something.

But Zhao Tianjiao couldn't understand how watching variety shows could be so entertaining, like watching the evening news.

He moved his lips, but didn't speak.

If you disturb the old man's thinking at this time, you'll definitely get scolded.

「因为肠繫膜上动脉会形成动脉网的缘故，超选3级血管并栓塞会切除60-70cm肠道；如果超选到4级血管并栓塞，会切除40cm左右肠道。」

Director Li continued explaining.

"My abilities are limited to this level."

Zhao Tianjiao was stunned when he heard Director Li's words.

He must be a shill that Ji Xiang hired!

A department head at a top-tier tertiary hospital actually admitted defeat on camera, saying his surgical skills were inferior to those of an intern!

What else could this be but a tortoise!

For a moment, Zhao Tianjiao even doubted what was wrong with his ears. He even wondered if he was dreaming, otherwise it would be impossible to hear such bizarre and outlandish words from a long-established and renowned director.

"But Dr. Ji selected another layer below, tried it and succeeded. I estimate that the gastrointestinal surgeon can remove 20cm of intestine."

Director Li continued his explanation and explained the reasons.

Zhao Tianjiao's mind was a mess; he listened to Director Li Ming's words in one ear and let them go in the other.

He couldn't understand it.

Zhao Tianjiao understood the meaning of every single word Director Li said, but when put together, it left him utterly confused.

"Old Li, you're awesome, you only cut off 20cm of intestine."

The voice of the drooling surgeon could be heard from inside the operating room.

However, Zhao Tianjiao's attention was not on the drool, but on the 20cm of intestines.

The old man just mentioned a case where a patient died after surgery because too much of his intestines had been removed.

As for why he died, Zhao Tianjiao had many explanations, even including possibilities like collapse syndrome, which shouldn't have occurred.

Does the fact that only 20cm of intestine was removed mean that Ji Xiang's surgical skills are one or two levels higher than those of the surgeon from the Second Affiliated Hospital?

As he pondered this, Zhao Tianjiao became somewhat bewildered.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Jixiang coughed.

"Tianjiao, do you know how difficult the surgery is?"

After seeing the results of the surgery, Dean Zhao stopped listening and instead asked Zhao Tianjiao a question.

Zhao Tianjiao shook his head.

"Only 20cm of intestine was removed, 20cm! How is that possible, how is that possible..." Dean Zhao murmured.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Tianjiao asked in surprise, in a low voice.

"I have always harbored deep hostility towards Ji Xiang."

At home, Dean Zhao spoke very bluntly, without any pretense. Zhao Tianjiao was taken aback; this was the first time he had sensed such undisguised murderous intent emanating from the old man.

"In the grand competition, you broke my record, which shows you've surpassed me. What makes you think you can do this, Ji Xiang?!"

"He was chosen by Boss Qin Chu, and even publicly berated Boss Qin so badly that he ended up in the hospital." As he spoke, Dean Zhao smiled slightly, "Regarding this matter, I consulted several experts in interventional medicine, and their opinions differed."

"I won't go into the specifics. A slightly rougher surgical approach actually has its advantages; it's not always necessary to select a grade 4 vessel. And sometimes, selecting a grade 4 vessel doesn't necessarily lead to a better surgical outcome."

"Enough talk, you're not planning to become an interventional radiology doctor. Let's talk about Ji Xiang's technique."

"Removing only 20cm of intestine was unthinkable in the past. Since I started working, I've seen at least a hundred patients die from this type of disease..."

As we were talking, the scene shifted, and a beautifully animated frame appeared before our eyes.

Dean Zhao seemed to have forgotten what he was talking to his son. He stared blankly at the animation that Director Fan had commissioned three top domestic companies to rush to produce overnight.

The animation was very smooth, produced in 3D, with movie-quality visuals and high definition. Even Zhao Tianjiao was stunned.

A guide wire was inserted into the blood vessel through the puncture point, and the animation was incredibly realistic. Then, the location of the colonic bleeding was found and embolized.

Subsequently, ischemia occurred at the site of the local embolism, the intestinal tract changed color, and a scalpel was used to begin resection and anastomosis of the intestine.

The complex surgical procedure was vividly depicted through simple animation.

If Ji Xiang's previous surgeries were considered too sophisticated for most people, with less than 5% of medical professionals able to understand them, then the following animations are so commonplace that even the average person can understand them at a glance.

Connecting to the previous surgery, the combination of reality and animation tells the story vividly.

After watching the animation in a daze, Dean Zhao got goosebumps all over his body.

The kind of hit show the production team wanted to create had nothing to do with Dean Zhao. He vaguely guessed what was going on, and his eyes narrowed instantly.
