Healing Doctor

Chapter 538 All the merits of the day were gone with a laugh.

"I'll go scrub my hands." Director Yang saw that the gallbladder had ruptured, called out, and turned to scrub his hands.

Zhai Yuhan gave Ji Xiang a deep look. Wasn't this kid supposed to be going to the gastrointestinal surgery department to exchange experiences? How did he end up causing trouble for himself and his boss again?

He's always busy wherever he goes.

"Xiao Miao, come down," Director Feng said to General Manager Miao.

Mr. Miao was somewhat confused. Before he could even ask Ji Xiang about the free bodies in his abdominal cavity, Ji Xiang gave him a lesson in the process.

Is it cholecystitis presenting as acute appendicitis? Or is it a rare case of gallbladder rupture?

I've never seen it before; even Dr. Kong, with my own ultrasound, couldn't tell.

Mr. Miao was a little embarrassed after stepping down.

Although no accident occurred, it was still a misdiagnosis. It's understandable that the doctor felt guilty when faced with a misdiagnosis.

"I'll lay out the sheet." Zhai Yuhan said as she walked into the operating room, wiping her hands as she held her hands in front of her chest.

"I've reserved a spot for you on the surgery form," said General Manager Miao.

"Huh?" Zhai Yuhan was taken aback. "You already had a diagnosis? Why didn't you call me in for a consultation?"

Two questions in quick succession, a direct hit to the heart; a huge number popped up above Mr. Miao's head, his blood volume turned red. He experienced difficulty breathing and a rapid heartbeat.

Director Kong laughed, "Xiao Miao called for a bedside ultrasound, which I did, but I couldn't find anything. It was Xiao Ji who insisted, so we reserved a spot for you. A simple disinfection will do; we'll make an incision a little higher up, even the belly button will work."

Zhai Yuhan didn't quite grasp the connection at first, but she didn't stop and got dressed to prepare for surgery.

"Director Feng, didn't you notice either? Aren't you embarrassed?" Director Kong asked Director Feng, seemingly unconcerned that he hadn't noticed the gallbladder perforation.

Director Feng glared at him and said, "What's so embarrassing about such a rare situation? The most embarrassing time I've ever encountered was when the anesthesia was finished, the sheets were laid out, and I was on the operating table when the patient said it hurt."

"Was the anesthesia not effective enough?"

"It was quite effective. At that time, Lao Liu was still on stage, and he was the one who administered the anesthesia," Director Feng said. "I don't know what happened, so I had to stop, press the incision with my hand, and Lao Liu continued to administer the medication."

"If it were Old Liu who was anesthetized, then there's nothing to say," Director Kong said. "But in this case, it's true... he must have been quite startled by the patient."

"Yeah, it really hurt the patient. He almost overturned the operating table."

"I encountered an embarrassing situation during my internship," Ji Xiang suddenly said.

Director Kong wasn't surprised at all. He turned around and looked at Ji Xiang with a smile. Seeing Ji Xiang standing obediently in the corner, he was even more satisfied with the young man.

To be proud but not arrogant—I didn't have that kind of mentality when I was young.

"What happened to you, Xiao Ji?"

"When I was interning at the affiliated hospital, I went to the interventional catheterization lab once. The aseptic conditions there were not very strict, and it couldn't compare to the operating room at our hospital."

When the directors heard Ji Xiang talk about the operating room of our hospital, they were all a little dazed.

Ji Xiang's interventional surgery is exquisite, and he will most likely continue to make progress in the field of interventional surgery, eventually reaching the pinnacle of expertise.

But he casually mentioned things like "our surgical ward".

This child is really strange.

"One day, the hospital director came to inspect. The doctor was performing surgery inside, and the head nurse and I went to greet him. The head nurse very attentively handed him shoe covers. The director, who came from an administrative background, rarely went into the operating room, so he just put the shoe covers over his head."

"!!!"

"I was about to speak when the head nurse pulled me back, gave me a look, and told me to pretend nothing had happened."

"Haha, that's true. It's not good to talk about it or not to talk about it, so it's best to just pretend we didn't see it," Director Kong said with a smile.

"I was holding back my laughter, but it made me laugh away all the good deeds I had done for the day," Ji Xiang chuckled.

"Where are the people behind the dean?" Director Feng asked.

"I saw them look at each other, neither of them said anything, and they all put on shoe covers over their heads at the same time."

"Everyone at your affiliated hospital is a shrewd person," Director Feng said. "When I was young, I interned at the affiliated hospital and was willing to help out in the emergency department. After stitching up a few stitches at night, I felt refreshed. One day, I heard a commotion coming from the pharmacy, so I went to see what was going on."

"A person holding a cell phone... Back then, cell phones were like bricks, but only the wealthy could carry them," Director Feng said. "How should I put it, it was basically similar to driving a Lamborghini now."

"It turns out the hospital director wanted to borrow some medicine and asked his friend to go to the pharmacy. It should have been a simple phone call, but the junior pharmacist there didn't care at all, saying he didn't know the director."

"Can't even answer the phone? That's so tough?" Director Kong was also slightly taken aback.

"Hey, young man, you think there are rules in this world? Years ago I read a book, something like 'The First in History'... what was it again?"

Director Feng thought for a few seconds before continuing, "In the most chaotic time in history, there is a scene where the protagonist goes to grab supplies during an earthquake. In that scene, the time-traveling Qin Shi Huang says something sinister like, 'Those who hoard goods will be killed without mercy.'"

At the time, I thought that was the truth, but after seeing many things, I realized that the idea of ​​"no mercy" is utter nonsense.

"How old are you? Why are you so indignant? What does it have to do with you?"

"What I mean is that the people at the affiliated hospital where Xiao Ji is interning are all very shrewd. The dean put shoe covers on his head, and they didn't say a word, they all put shoe covers on their heads too. Sometimes, you know, the emperor's new clothes are necessary."

"Xiao Ji, what if it were you?" Director Kong asked with a smile, throwing the difficult question to Ji Xiang.

"It's just a shoe cover, no problem," Ji Xiang said casually. "I'll wear it then."

Director Kong looked Ji Xiang up and down.

Ji Xiang knew what Director Kong was going to say, but he didn't explain; he just smiled.

As they were talking, the surgical exploration was already over.

The diagnosis is clear: it is indeed a perforated gallbladder and extensive peritonitis. Fortunately, the patient was brought to the operating table relatively early, and the condition should be manageable.

After seeing the gallbladder removed, Dr. Kong put on gloves and carefully identified the location of the gallbladder perforation before saying goodbye and leaving, Ji Xiang guessed that he came to the operating room and waited for the gallbladder removal surgery to compare with the images.

Clinical experience is accumulated little by little in this way.

But we must learn from our mistakes; we might be lucky this time, but not next time.

"Xiao Ji, has your production team made any arrangements for where the next segment will be?" Director Feng asked.

"No, I don't know the specifics. The production team seems to be in a rush; they have to improvise for each episode," Ji Xiang said. "They even asked for my opinion on what to film for the next episode."

"..."

Director Feng was fine, but General Manager Miao was quite surprised.

He had a vague feeling that everything was scripted, everything was arranged, and that the production team had even gone to great lengths to help Ji Xiang obtain a paper from a top-tier journal.

But if that's the case, then Ji Xiang's article is absolutely true.

Thinking of this, President Miao's gaze toward Ji Xiang became even more intense.
