Healing Doctor

Chapter 503 The Sycophants in the Medical Team

Upon hearing that Ji Xiang was going to the operating room, Director Fan's eyes lit up instantly.

"The production crew can't go in," Ji Xiang reminded Director Fan immediately upon seeing his expression.

Director Fan also realized this and felt a little regretful.

Unfortunately, this is a hospital. If only I could bring my film crew in and out of the operating room at will.

He gave an awkward laugh. "Then I'll wait outside, just in case."

Ji Xiang could tell that Director Fan was very dedicated to creating the show, even to the point of being obsessed.

Moreover, based on the reliance on the successful path, the popularity of the third episode made Director Fan realize that surgery was a point of interest for the audience. Naturally, upon hearing this, his body experienced a surge of adrenaline, putting him into a state of stress.

Ji Xiang ignored Director Fan, said something to the nurse, and strode towards the operating room.

"Dr. Ji, what kind of patient is this?" Zhao Zhe asked, following behind Ji Xiang.

"I don't know. I overheard Director Yang on the phone earlier, and I guess it was a patient undergoing interventional surgery." Ji Xiang had his own assessment of the situation.

"The hybrid surgery here should be better than where I live. The hybrid surgery in Yuanliao City is a joke. The orthopedic department just takes a few X-rays during the operation to check if the bones are aligned properly, and that's how they call it a hybrid operating room."

"In my understanding, a hybrid operating room should be a place where interventional surgery and major surgeries such as vascular and cardiac surgery can be performed at the same time. Unfortunately, the level of expertise among the staff is not high enough, so it can only be used as a place for intraoperative X-rays."

"Simply repositioning broken bones and taking X-rays, can that be called hybrid surgery? It's a joke."

"Dr. Zhao, are there very few hybrid operating rooms?" Director Fan asked from the side.

"It's not that there are too few; a normal operating room only needs one DSA machine. But there aren't many either, because hybrid surgeries involve the collaboration of 2-3 departments, and the skill levels of these departments vary. Therefore, they are much more complex than surgeries performed by a single department, and very few hospitals can perform such surgeries."

"For example?" Director Fan asked, still confused.

Zhao Zhe paused for a moment, then chuckled, "I've never seen a standard hybrid surgery either, but in my opinion... never mind, there's nothing to think about. I'm just an old attending physician, mediocre at best, not very skilled, so please don't film me."

Director Fan was speechless; he had a vague impression of Zhao Zhe.

The two people who came out with Ji Xiang at the airport that day had completely different temperaments.

Director Lu Gang, with only a wisp of hair, always looked down on people, acting as if he were the best in the world. But Dr. Zhao Zhe, standing before him, was as humble as a speck of dust, easily lost in a crowd.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people are grouped by their kind. I really don't know how Ji Xiang managed to gather these two extreme types of people around him.

Director Fan was very interested in Zhao Zhe. At least Zhao Zhe was talkative, unlike other doctors who would put on a stern face as soon as they saw a camera, with "keep away" written all over their faces.

Upon arriving at the changing room of the operating room, Ji Xiang and Zhao Zhe went inside. Ji Xiang turned around and closed the door, intentionally leaving Director Fan outside.

Director Fan had anticipated this.

These doctors are wary of themselves like thieves; there's no basic trust between people.

"Director, what happened next?" Director Fan's assistant asked.

Director Fan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Go to the operating room entrance and check on the patient's family. Oh, and have the camera crew follow, but don't turn on the cameras. Keep a distance so others can't see us."

……

……

"Dr. Xiao Ji, I think Director Fan really wants to film the surgery," Zhao Zhe said with a chuckle as he changed his clothes.

"I watched the last episode, and the animation was really well done. It's fair to say that interventional surgery is remarkably well-suited to the current entertainment environment. It depicts the entire surgical process without involving gore or violence. It passed censorship easily, and its release naturally attracted a lot of attention."

As Ji Xiang spoke, he took off his shirt.

Looking at Ji Xiang's muscular physique, Zhao Zhe touched his own well-developed belly and felt a little envious.

"But we can't let all patients record; there are many complicated issues involved. Brother Zhao, haven't you encountered a similar situation before?"

"Dr. Ji Xiang, you're here." Director Yang walked in with a stern face.

"Teacher Yang, what kind of patient?"

"A 16-year-old female patient swallowed a staple, which became lodged in her right main bronchus. An attempt was made to remove it using a bronchoscopy at a local hospital, which resulted in a tension pneumothorax."

Director Yang gave a brief introduction.

"What about interventional surgery? Dr. Li tried it, but it didn't work either?"

Ji Xiang understood the cause and effect in an instant.

"Yes, we used a JR-4 6-Fr guiding catheter with a 0.035-inch guidewire. The guiding catheter was extended from the side hole of the bronchial tube to reach the foreign object. We tried three times, but Director Li couldn't remove it."

"He said to give it a try, and if that doesn't work, he'll open a thoracic surgery clinic directly."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Director Yang squinted at Ji Xiang and noticed that he paused slightly.

The feeling was strange. Ji Xiang had just changed into his protective suit and was adjusting it to make it smoother, but there was a pause of less than a second in that one movement, which made Director Yang feel uncomfortable.

It's a feeling that's hard to describe, and even Director Yang couldn't explain exactly how he felt bad.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, are you not confident?" Director Yang asked.

"Give it a try, I should be able to handle it." Ji Xiang gave a positive answer and smiled slightly.

Director Yang was skeptical.

Director Li had already reached the limit with the 0.89 mm guide wire, but still couldn't remove the staples.

Is there any better way for Ji Xiang?

Moreover, Ji Xiang spoke with great certainty. When he said he was confident, Director Yang even felt that Ji Xiang was radiating an inexplicable light.

Or is Ji Xiang preparing to completely overwhelm Director Li's technical skills and "eat raw" a highly difficult surgery?

"Give it a try."

Ji Xiang and Zhao Zhe changed their clothes and made their way to the operating room.

"Dr. Ji, why don't you give it a try?" Director Li, wearing a lead apron and surgical gown, waited anxiously for Ji Xiang.

"Wait a moment, I'll go wash my hands." Ji Xiang squinted his eyes.

Ji Xiang put on a lead apron, washed his hands, came back to disinfect, and put on a surgical gown.

Before the nurse could help him fasten his surgical gown, Zhao Zhe rushed to do these miscellaneous little tasks. After fastening the straps, Zhao Zhe even squatted down and helped Ji Xiang straighten his clothes.

Director Yang was speechless.

At Ji Xiang's age, are there already dedicated sycophants in the medical team?

A doctor who only knows how to flatter is useless. Even if Ji Xiang is secretly leading the medical team, you should at least find two capable people to do the work.

So early in the morning, you need a sycophant following you around...

With just one action, Director Yang's impression of Ji Xiang and his medical team members plummeted.
