Healing Doctor

Chapter 507 The Star Level is Too Low

"Director Yang doesn't agree." Director Li smiled. "It's alright, I'll go talk to him in a bit."

"Thank you, thank you so much. I would be very sorry if such a good piece of material couldn't be included in the program." Director Fan found Director Li more and more pleasing to the eye, and said politely.

Although he knew that Director Li was "using" him to promote interventional surgery, Director Fan would certainly not refuse something that would benefit everyone and was not against the rules.

"That's settled then. I'll get back to work now. Director Fan, wait for my message."

Director Fan calmed down.

He led the film crew back to the prepared rest room in the hepatobiliary surgery department, but Director Fan couldn't sit still. He held his phone, ready to answer immediately, but Director Li's call was delayed.

Distracted, Director Fan walked out of the break room with his phone in hand and saw Ji Xiang coming towards him.

"Dr. Xiao Ji!" Director Fan called out affectionately.

"Director Fan, you're busy." Ji Xiang hurried past.

"What are you busy with, Dr. Ji?"

"I just finished surgery and need to write the surgical record," Ji Xiang said. "Director Fan, I noticed you were always outside the operating room during this surgery. Are you planning to bring it to the show? This case isn't common, but it's not rare either. If you're going to do it for the show, please make sure it's done properly!"

"..." Director Fan looked at Ji Xiang's clean and innocent smile, speechless.

"Dr. Xiao Ji, we spoke with the patient's parents, and they disagree," Director Fan said helplessly. "Director Yang's attitude was also very firm. Now, Director Li says he'll try to persuade them..."

As they were talking, Director Fan suddenly noticed that Ji Xiang's gaze had become very strange. He was looking at him as if he were a stranger, with pity and sympathy in his eyes.

What kind of expression is that? Director Fan suddenly realized that he seemed to be begging Ji Xiang to do something for him, and he felt a little dazed.

"Director Fan, do you really want to do public education on airway obstruction?" Ji Xiang asked earnestly.

Director Fan paused for a moment before realizing what Ji Xiang meant by "missionary work," and he nodded vigorously.

Although he was only interested in staples, it didn't seem like a problem for Ji Xiang to extend the interest to foreign objects in the airway.

"Leave it to me, I'll get back to you in 3-4 hours," Ji Xiang said. "If the program's production team is pressing you hard, you can film other things first."

Director Fan was filled with countless question marks and exclamation marks.

Ji Xiang spoke as if it were already a done deal, displaying great confidence. Director Fan pondered for a long time, still unable to understand why Ji Xiang was so confident.

He wanted to ask a few questions, but Ji Xiang waved goodbye after speaking, turned around and left in a hurry to write the surgical record.

Director Fan was puzzled. What method did Ji Xiang intend to use to solve this problem?

In particular, Ji Xiang's confident expression and the patient's family's unwavering refusal formed a stark contrast.

In addition, Ji Xiang's eyes were full of pity and sympathy when he looked at him.

This series of complex contents left Director Fan completely bewildered.

He waited blankly at the doctor's office door, wanting to see what Ji Xiang would do to persuade the "stubborn" patient's parents.

Ke Jixiang remained in his office, from which bursts of hearty laughter could be heard from time to time; it was unclear what they were talking about.

When it was time to leave work, the doctors and nurses in the hepatobiliary surgery department changed their clothes and left one after another. Director Fan's legs were numb from standing, but he still went to the door of the doctor's office.

"The doctor-patient relationship is tense now, and there are many things that cannot be said."

As Director Fan approached, he could clearly hear Ji Xiang chatting.

Director Fan was speechless.

Ji Xiang is definitely just making excuses for himself.

The interns from the previous two seasons were eager to flatter him, but he ignored them. However, Ji Xiang completely disregarded him and even treated him perfunctorily and deceitfully.

This made Director Fan feel somewhat displeased.

"When I was interning in the gastroenterology department, I once saw a Helicobacter pylori test report. The patient asked me what medicine to take. I first explained the treatment plan, and then, after clarifying the situation, I suggested that the patient's parents also come to the hospital for a check-up to see if they had stomach cancer."

"You weren't beaten to death?" Zhai Yuhan's voice came from outside.

"Yes, almost. The patient immediately turned hostile and said I spoke rudely. I have a thousand explanations: living with an elderly person increases the likelihood of Helicobacter pylori infection, and some elderly people already have stomach cancer."

"That's a nice thing to say, why did you hit me?" Zhao Mengmeng asked timidly.

The world of doctors is completely incompatible with Zhao Mengmeng's, and she no longer dares to comment or discuss it.

"Every wizard who prophesies a disaster will be tied to the stake and burned at the stake."

Director Fan was taken aback when he heard Ji Xiang's description.

How could someone who understands this be young? Youth means being energetic, straightforward, and uninhibited.

"So, how did you resolve it?" Zhai Yuhan asked.

"My teacher handled it, but I didn't hear the specifics of what he said. Later, the patient's parents came for a checkup, and the patient looked unhappy when he saw me and wouldn't say a word to me. Fortunately, the patient's parents were fine and went home after the checkup."

"You're being too rigid. It's not that serious. A cold can lead to myocarditis. I've seen a case of a young man who took three different cold medicines because of a severe cold and developed liver failure, requiring a liver transplant," Zhai Yuhan said.

"Yes, that's why I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I still don't know what to do. But if I encounter a similar patient again, I'll be extra careful."

Ji Xiang replied.

Director Fan felt extremely helpless. He, a top director of domestic variety shows, was actually squatting under the wall eavesdropping, and what he heard was completely different from what he expected. What the hell was the point of this!

"Mengmeng, did you go online again to look up information about how overdosing on cold medicine can cause liver failure?"

"Yes, Teacher Zhai, I didn't learn about this when I was in school."

"Don't go online too much. Many patients get scared half to death when they search online about their illness. In fact, many doctors are like that too. When I was in school, I met a general surgery director from a local hospital who came to see me and perform surgery. He had probably seen too many liver cancer patients in his life and knew that the disease was usually discovered in its late stage. So when he came, he was already mentally broken and asked for too much medication. He died not long after."

"Popular science is very important," Ji Xiang said. "The animation the production team made in the third episode was pretty good, and the data seems to be very good as well."

"Dr. Xiao Ji, if you become a big star in the future, will you still stay in clinical practice?" Zhai Yuhan asked with a smile.

"Of course we should stay in clinical practice. Celebrities are too low-level. At best, they're household names, but the overall industry is countless times smaller than medicine," Ji Xiang said. "It's almost time. Professor Zhai, I'm going to check on the post-operative patients."
