Healing Doctor

Chapter 529 The Student Surpasses the Master

Director Bai frowned, and Director Liu also stared intently at Ji Xiang.

Suddenly, that feeling of lag returned. Although it lasted only a short time, less than a second, it made Director Bai and Director Liu, who had been watching Ji Xiang's every move, feel uneasy.

"never mind."

On the television, Ji Xiang suddenly spoke.

Director Bai relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ji Xiang say that.

"Why make such a fuss?" Director Liu seemed much more relaxed as he finished his drink. "Xiao Ji is still too young."

"Explain the condition to the patient and their family, and whether or not to call the police. It's better for them to see a doctor themselves," Ji Xiang said softly.

Although the sentence was simple, Ji Xiang's tone and intonation changed slightly when he said it.

Director Bai and Director Liu could tell that Ji Xiang's mindset had changed.

Director Bai was quite surprised by this.

Is that sense of jarring really that magical?

If I were young and full of a sense of justice, I would definitely lose my temper and wouldn't listen to anyone.

But Ji Xiang changed his mind after only one setback.

"Ji Xiang's talent is amazing." Director Liu also noticed the change in Ji Xiang and sighed.

"You can't feel your talent."

"That scumbag who casually told me to run from Ironforge to Stormwind has the nerve to say that?" Director Liu said disdainfully.

Director Bai glanced at Liu Zhi and laughed heartily.

"For example, if you usually swim, I'd ask you, 'Do you also know how to dive?'"

"No," Director Liu shook his head.

"The domestic freediving record holder is Wang Aolin. In 2018, he improved the domestic record to 110 meters when he participated in the International Bahamas Blue Hole Depth Challenge."

"The kind where you pinch your nose and sink without an oxygen tank?"

"Um."

"Awesome!" Director Liu exclaimed.

He can occasionally go scuba diving, but only up to a meter deep; he can't go any deeper, so it's practically the same as not being able to.

"The world record is 214 meters, almost twice that of Wang Aolin."

"..."

Director Liu was stunned, but then he remembered the words "world record" and understood.

"You've played Super Mario, right? The world record is under 4 minutes."

"Haha, I could beat the game in 11 minutes when I was a kid!" Director Liu said proudly, not thinking that his 11 minutes and 4 minutes were worlds apart.

"So, whether you can do it or not is one thing; at a certain point, it comes down to talent. Xiao Ji's talent is truly exceptional; I'm very envious," said Director Bai.

"And what about the people you, Old Bai, envy?"

"Of course, he..."

Director Bai wanted to talk about Ji Xiang's neurosurgery, but he swallowed the rest of his words after only getting to the beginning.

In that instant, Director Bai suddenly realized that if Ji Xiang wanted to perform endoscopic neurosurgery, he definitely could, and his skill level would be extremely high.

"Xiao Ji is the top student in the country with a perfect score, a true academic genius. Others can only score 98 points, but Ji Xiang only got 100. The world record for holding one's breath is a little over 24 minutes, which is about ten times the limit for an average person."

Director Liu felt a sense of longing, but as he looked at Ji Xiang on the screen, his expression suddenly became slightly dejected.

"Don't think about it, it's all fate, you can't envy it." Director Bai smiled.

……

……

"Dad, what's going on!" Zhao Tianjiao asked in surprise.

Dean Zhao looked at his bewildered "silly" son and compared him to Ji Xiang, and sighed inwardly.

"Why did Ji Xiang call the police? Who are they arresting? The patient's boyfriend?" Zhao Tianjiao asked.

It's perfectly normal to guess who your boyfriend is, as long as you're of sound mind.

But what happened next was quite complicated, and Dean Zhao knew his son definitely couldn't guess it. Let alone someone with Ji Xiang's overflowing sense of justice, even his own foolish son hadn't grasped the situation.

The difference in quality is like heaven and earth.

"That's how it is." Dean Zhao stopped comparing the differences between his mentally challenged son and Ji Xiang. He said calmly, "The matter of the illness has been explained very clearly, you understand, right?"

"It was caused by prolonged low-level carbon monoxide intake, it was my uncle."

Dean Zhao nodded. Actually, his son was quite good, as long as he wasn't compared to Ji Xiang.

Being better than most people is already something to be proud of, isn't it?

Thinking about it, his expression softened considerably, and he smiled as he explained to Zhao Tianjiao, "In clinical practice, we often encounter situations that seem problematic, such as a couple arguing and ending up with surgery, which constitutes serious injury. I ask you, what are you going to do?"

"Call the police!"

"I called the police when I was young, and I got a lecture for it." Dean Zhao looked at his silly son with a smile.

"Why!" Zhao Tianjiao asked, looking indignant.

"The couple has already made up. The victim isn't making a fuss, so why should we doctors get involved? Doctors are busy on night shifts, and police officers are busy on night shifts too. They rushed over eagerly, but even the victim didn't want to call the police. Can you imagine how awkward that is?"

"So that's how it is." Zhao Tianjiao seemed to understand but not quite.

Dean Zhao didn't rush to explain further; he knew his son would only truly understand these things when he encountered relevant cases in clinical practice.

"The same goes for this one. Who knows if the other person did it on purpose? There is definitely a possibility that it was intentional. Otherwise, having a charcoal hot pot once a week, especially at a girl's house, where the carbon monoxide concentration is low and not easily detected, is definitely a problem."

"But!"

"What if someone really likes this kind of food? You agree, right?"

Zhao Tianjiao was slightly confused; he found it difficult to immerse himself in Ji Xiang's role.

Now Zhao Tianjiao has given up on competing with Ji Xiang. He can't catch up even with all his might, and he can't even see Ji Xiang's shadow, let alone have any other thoughts.

"Don't think about it anymore. When you encounter similar patients in your clinical practice, just remember what I told you. You won't understand it now anyway. You'd be better off spending that time having some barbecue with Mr. Xu, or maybe you two could play some games together."

"Yeah, I don't want to think about it that much. Is it because the skewers aren't good or my teammates are too bad?" Zhao Tianjiao said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, Dean Zhao could see the confusion in his son's eyes. The child had grown up; at least he knew how to keep his worries to himself.

It's hard to say whether this is good or bad.

"Diagnosis is extremely difficult, and Ji Xiang only made the diagnosis by chance in this case." Dean Zhao did not expose his son's thoughts. He steered the conversation back and continued, "You don't need to worry about it. Your specialty is orthopedics. Although Ji Xiang is good at sports medicine surgery, the pool is so big that there is no conflict between you two."

Zhao Tianjiao remained silent.

……

……

In the commentary room, Professor Shen said something similar.

The bald host's mouth became increasingly crooked, almost reaching his ears. Those doctors are really scheming; I hadn't even considered that in that instant.

"The level of medical care at Jixiang Clinic is very high; the student has surpassed the master," Professor Shen praised.
