Healing Doctor

Chapter 595 Surgical Contraindications

"Feudal superstition?" Director Bai's lips curled slightly upward. "Even Copernicus and Galileo weren't accepted by the mainstream at the time. But then what?"

"Tch, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business," Director Liu pressed.

He was particularly interested in the old medical director from many years ago.

In a hospital, the position of director of medical affairs is the most crucial one; no one, including the hospital director, is as important as the director of medical affairs.

"Director Han chatted with that person for a few minutes. After he left, Director Han was about to be discharged from the hospital. He said he wanted to go home, eat and drink, and then pass away peacefully."

"When I asked about that person, Director Han gave me a guess."

"guess?"

"Yes, at the time, Director Han said that he had a close relationship with that old gentleman, but he would only ask him to 'take a look' at important matters."

"They met in the late 1960s. At that time, Director Han took good care of the old gentleman, so there was some favor involved." Director Bai rambled on for a moment before getting back to the main point, "It is said that the old gentleman could see the yin and yang like the back of his hand."

"..."

"..."

Director Liu and Ding Xiang, the owner of Yiyang, both wanted to reach out and touch Director Bai to see if he had a fever. The saying that one can "observe yin and yang with ease" is pure nonsense.

"Director Han guessed that this old gentleman devised a method to see the ending of a parallel world."

"???"

"For example, I mean, for example!" Director Bai's voice was as steady as a mountain, his finger tapping on the notebook, "Lin Jiu then wrote down the first treatment plan, then looked up at the patient and saw the patient's ending in this parallel world."

"Old Bai, have you been watching too many ball lightning movies?" Director Liu asked in surprise.

"No, I was just using Director Han's description of that old gentleman to describe Lin Jiuze. I didn't believe it at the time, but when I saw Lin Jiuze's strange behavior, I remembered this incident."

"And then?" Director Liu asked.

"Lin Jiuze 'saw' that the treatment plan was wrong, so he wrote a second treatment plan. That was also wrong, so he wrote a third. He kept writing like that until he 'saw' the correct answer."

"Holy crap, this guy's a born doctor!"

"With this skill, you can do anything," Director Bai said with a smile. "However, I've heard there are quite a few limitations; that's what Director Han told me."

"Really? You can't be making this up, can you?" Director Liu looked at Section Chief Bai with suspicion.

"It was Director Han who made up the story. I just think Lin Jiuze and that old gentleman look a bit alike," Director Bai said. "If that's the case, I think Xiao Ji is in trouble."

Speaking of Ji Xiang, Director Liu shuddered.

If we continue to extrapolate from Director Bai's statement, and Ji Xiang forcibly takes the patient to surgery, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Director Liu immediately pulled out his phone. His hand was trembling, shaking as if he had Parkinson's disease. It took him a lot of effort to dial Ji Xiang's number.

"Xiao Ji, are you alright?" Director Liu asked.

"Teacher Liu, I'm doing well. It's not bad here. There are only one or two more episodes left on the show, so I'll be able to go back soon." Ji Xiang's voice was cheerful and clear.

Director Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good. The program..." Director Liu was about to ask for clarification when Director Bai snatched the phone away. "Xiao Ji, it's me."

"Director Bai, hello," Ji Xiang said.

Are you sure you don't want to stay at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Medical University?

"Well, I won't stay at the First Affiliated Hospital. I have a lot of work to do when I get back. Director Bai, could I stop rotating? I've been thinking about concentrating my energy these past few days," Ji Xiang said.

"Of course, we can talk about it in detail when you get back. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Let me know when you're coming back, and I'll come pick you up."

After saying that, Director Bai hung up the phone without uttering a single unnecessary word.

"Old Bai?"

"What are you asking?" Director Bai said sternly, a rare occurrence for him. "As a person, you should know the rules."

Director Liu was taken aback.

"Is that what you mean by keeping a respectful distance?" Ding Xiang interjected.

"Old Ding knows more than you do," Director Bai said.

Director Liu, being overly concerned, calmed down upon hearing that Ji Xiang was alright. He nodded slightly and turned back to the television.

This footage was likely recorded live. The camera was waiting outside the office when the door was pushed open, and the doctors filed out.

Suddenly the camera shifts, and Ji Xiang and Deputy Director Zou appear at the end of the ward. They are walking out of the ward where Lin Jiuze was visiting patients.

Finally, Ji Xiang makes his appearance!

"Slurp~" Deputy Director Zou first took a sip of saliva. He seemed to be in a hurry and was not wearing a surgical mask. His saliva was shiny and clear.

"Is the consultation over?" Deputy Director Zou asked.

"It's finished. Prepare for catheter-based thrombolysis."

Deputy Director Zou frowned, his expression serious, and pulled a director away from the camera.

You can't see their lip movements or hear their voices, but judging from their actions, they must be arguing.

The camera faithfully recorded this scene without any editing.

As time went on, Deputy Director Zou's emotions seemed to gradually get out of control. He was talking about something, and saliva was flying everywhere.

"Xiao Ji, have you seen the patient?" Director Li Ming didn't try to break up the fight, but instead walked over to Ji Xiang and asked.

"I've seen it, and I think surgery is possible," Ji Xiang replied calmly.

"Surgery? What are you planning to do?"

"Isn't Dr. Lin from Massachusetts General Hospital?" Ji Xiang asked, mentioning Lin Jiuze for the first time. "He should be able to use the new thrombectomy catheter that Boston Scientific developed a few years ago with ease."

"I can't do it," Lin Jiu replied softly, standing in a corner of the crowd.

He was always in the corner, always unnoticed.

But as the camera lens shifted, Lin Jiuze and Ji Xiang appeared in the same field of vision for the first time.

"Dr. Lin, hello," Ji Xiang said politely. "The First Affiliated Hospital doesn't have the new Boston Scientific thrombectomy catheter. Could you please contact them?"

"The catheter connection is fine, but the thrombectomy cannot be performed due to contraindications," Lin Jiu replied.

He wasn't domineering, but he wasn't timid either; his composed and respectful demeanor was endearing. Even when Ji Xiang's request touched on a taboo subject, highlighting Ji Xiang's ignorance, Lin Jiu didn't speak with a mocking tone.

Furthermore, since what Lin Jiu said was true, both Director Bai and Director Liu felt that Ji Xiang was about to hit a wall.

It's alright if he's in his own hospital, but if Ji Xiang tries to have surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital, there will be serious problems!

This……

Director Bai's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

If he hadn't just made a phone call to Ji Xiang, he would have definitely thought that Ji Xiang was going to get a bloody nose.

I'm really curious, what exactly is Ji Xiang going to do?!

He stared at the screen, silently watching Ji Xiang. Boston Scientific's Phase III and IV clinical data were very detailed; contraindications were contraindications, conclusions drawn after rigorous testing.

Can Ji Xiang disregard contraindications?
