Healing Doctor

Chapter 506 is not a gimmick, yet it's full of gimmicks.

Director Fan remained outside the operating room, carefully observing each patient's family member.

The show was suddenly given too much attention, which was a problem. If it flopped, perhaps we wouldn't have to think about it so much, Director Fan thought to himself as he observed the patient's family.

After a while, Director Fan saw Director Yang come out, holding a piece of white gauze in his hand, and call over a middle-aged couple in their forties.

As Director Yang spoke, he showed them the "culprit" that had been removed from the gauze and told them that the staples had been removed and the patient was likely fine. He added that the patient could be discharged and go home after 1-2 days of observation.

A few seconds later, the couple embraced and wept uncontrollably.

The man turned to the side and gripped Director Yang's other hand tightly. His hand was trembling violently as he patted the woman's back repeatedly, as if comforting her that everything was over.

Should we wipe our snot on Director Yang's clothes next? A strange thought suddenly flashed through Director Fan's mind.

After saying a few words, Director Yang tried to leave, but the man held her hand tightly and wouldn't let go no matter what she said.

Finally, Director Yang pretended to kick him. Director Fan guessed that they were good friends, which is why he was so casual.

"Xiao Liang, do you see that couple?" Director Fan said.

Director Fan's assistant nodded.

"I'm giving you a task. After Director Yang goes back, go and persuade them to agree to an interview," Director Fan said in a low voice. "It doesn't matter what method you use, or how much money you spend, as long as they agree to the interview."

"it is good."

Director Fan's assistant said, forcing a smile.

As soon as Director Yang turned and went back into the operating room, Director Fan's assistant immediately went over to him.

Director Fan was a little nervous. Although he didn't know what kind of patient it was or what kind of surgery was being performed in the operating room, he guessed that it would be very exciting.

The thought that the director of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Medical University couldn't handle a surgery and ended up having an intern perform it was enough to excite Director Fan.

Although this idea cannot be stated explicitly, it is feasible to express it in theatrical language on the show, and it would be quite exciting and gripping.

The fourth episode seemed to be making some progress, but only a little bit. Director Fan couldn't quite grasp the fleeting thought that crossed his mind.

However, this beautiful idea encountered setbacks at the very beginning and was directly shattered.

Director Fan's assistant walked up to the couple and started talking to them. But the couple seemed uncooperative; they kept shaking their heads. Later, the man seemed very angry, pointing his finger at Director Fan's assistant and apparently cursing something.

Director Fan was particularly helpless.

He felt that his luck had reached its peak and then he was met with a backlash.

Since the number of concurrent viewers exploded after the third episode, I haven't had any clear ideas.

Just when he finally had an idea, Director Fan saw that his assistant had been turned away and was about to cause a commotion, so he quickly had someone pull the assistant back.

"Director, they've gone too far!" Director Fan's assistant said angrily when he returned.

"Your family doesn't approve? You didn't tell them it wouldn't involve privacy, it's just..."

"Guo'er, I told them, but they shook their heads before I could finish, no matter what I said."

Director Fan glared fiercely at his assistant, thinking, "Useless thing."

But Director Fan only muttered to himself, knowing full well that this was an extremely difficult task.

Not everyone is interested in appearing on variety shows, especially fathers and mothers waiting outside the operating room for their children to be wheeled out.

Although the surgery appears to have been successful, they may not necessarily be willing to accept it.

Director Fan looked worried. After a while, he saw a stretcher being pushed out, with Ji Xiang pushing it from behind, looking just like a junior doctor who had just entered clinical practice and was doing the most basic work. He was honest and quiet, yet extremely focused, as if pushing the patient back to the ward was something he was proud of.

He did not follow Ji Xiang to record the patients' conditions.

After interacting with hospitals, doctors, and patients for a while, Director Fan has learned to gauge the boundaries. If I were to follow him now, I'd most likely be rejected by the doctors and department heads.

We're all decent people, why make things so unpleasant?

But what to do next was written all over Director Fan's face.

"Director, what's next?" Director Fan's assistant watched Ji Xiang push the trolley up the elevator and came over to ask.

"How would I know?" Director Fan said irritably.

Seeing that Director Fan was in a bad mood, his assistant immediately shut up and didn't dare to say a word.

Director Fan didn't leave either; he just stood in front of the operating room, pondering what to do next.

Director Lu in Ji Xiang's medical team also offered some suggestions, but his suggestions were clearly very different from Ji Xiang's—completely unworkable.

Director Fan had been thinking for a long time when a familiar voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Director Fan, what are you busy with?"

It was Zhao Zhe, another member of Ji Xiang's medical team, the old attending physician with a servile look on his face.

"Dr. Zhao, you've changed your clothes." Director Fan forced a smile. "I was just thinking about what to film for the next episode. A patient was having surgery, and I saw Dr. Ji go to the operating room..."

As he spoke, his eyes caught sight of Director Li.

"Director Li, you watched the last episode, right?" Director Fan's smile became more sincere. "The surgery and animation parts were quite excellent."

"I watched it, it was fantastic. Director Fan, you truly deserve to be a nationally renowned director," Director Li said politely.

Director Fan knew, of course, that Director Li was just engaging in mutual flattery. He was indeed a well-known director in the industry, but the directors of variety shows were different from film directors. They were only well-known within the industry and certainly not nationally renowned.

But it is not important.

Director Fan sensed something amiss in Director Li's tone.

"Who was that patient just now?" Director Fan asked tentatively.

"It's a..." Director Li began to enthusiastically introduce the patient's condition to Instructor Fan.

When Director Fan heard the staple fall into his right main bronchus, his heart immediately began to itch.

What is this?

This is something that ordinary people, or viewers, would never dream of, but has an extremely low probability of encountering.

Moreover, this matter is full of gossip, similar to the sensational headlines of CCTV's "Approaching Science" program back in the day.

Unlike the thriller and comedy style of "Approaching Science", this is a real, thrilling, and vivid case!

It wasn't a gimmick, yet it was full of gimmicks. Director Fan suddenly understood the idea that had just crossed his mind.

"I see. It seems that interventional surgery is indeed quite practical. Without interventional surgery, patients would have to undergo major surgery. I have a friend who had major surgery, and it damaged his health."

While Director Fan was pondering this, he was also praising Director Li.
