Healing Doctor

Chapter 643 Are there still spots in the medical team?

"Old Xie, how about it? Pretty awesome, right?" Zhao Zhe said smugly, looking at the report.

This isn't the Second Affiliated Hospital, nor is it home. Seeing the critical value, Zhao Zhe doesn't need to rush around; he has plenty of time to show off.

A blood potassium level of 1.9 mmol/L is a critical level, indicating a dangerous condition.

Although not everything Ji Xiang said has been proven, it has pointed the way for the doctors.

Xie Kai scratched his head, unsure of what to feel.

Only a doctor can truly understand how miraculous Ji Xiang's diagnosis was.

"I'm just asking you, aren't you awesome?" Zhao Zhe added smugly when Xie Kai remained silent.

"Zhao Zhe, who is he?" Xie Kai murmured.

"Let me tell you..."

Zhao Zhe was a chatterbox, and now that Xie Kai had asked the question, he started telling Xie Kai all the stories that had happened since he met Ji Xiang.

He talked about everything from preoperative embolization for kidney cancer to Neymar, his spittle flying everywhere.

"Neymar!" Xie Kai was stunned.

Zhao Zhe just mentioned it repeatedly, but Xie Kai ignored it all.

After all, how could someone as insignificant as Zhao Zhe possibly be associated with Neymar?

It's impossible even for a child to understand.

However, Zhao Zhe mentioned Neymar again, with a proud look on his face.

"Yeah, didn't you watch the variety show? Neymar even appeared on it! Let me tell you, before Neymar came an NBA star, but he couldn't do this or that, and in the end, he didn't choose to have his surgery here. Look at Neymar, how generous he is!"

"Yesterday alone, they signed over a hundred jerseys for me!"

"To be honest, I was a little embarrassed when Neymar sat on his hospital bed with a cast on his arm and signed autographs for me. But I couldn't stop him, he was just too enthusiastic. If he didn't only date female celebrities and not get married, he would be the perfect idol."

"Hello, Dr. Zhao."

A figure appeared like a ghost, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he startled Zhao Zhe and Xie Kai.

That's a ghost!

"Dr. Lin... Dr. Lin, please walk louder next time you come," Zhao Zhe said, clutching his chest.

"I was just walking towards you from the opposite direction," Lin Jiu said with an innocent smile. "I have something to ask you."

"Dr. Lin, please tell me. The jersey Neymar signed for me..."

After Zhao Zhe finished speaking to Lin Jiuze, his gaze returned to Xie Kai. After saying half a sentence, he realized he had made a mistake, so he quickly stopped and looked at Lin Jiuze again.

"Are there any openings in Dr. Ji Xiang's medical team?" Lin Jiu asked humbly.

"Location? What location?" Zhao Zhe was taken aback.

"I used my vacation to study in Dr. Ji Xiang's medical team for a period of time. In China, it's called advanced training, I think. My main purpose was to improve my technical skills," Lin Jiuze said. "Through this period of contact, I found that Dr. Ji Xiang is excellent at surgery and diagnosis, and I want to learn from him."

"..."

Zhao Zhe was stunned for a moment, his mouth wide open, big enough to fit an egg.

"Dr. Zhao?"

"Ah! It seems there's no such thing as a position in the domestic medical team, unlike where you are. If it's an internment program, the procedures are simpler, but... you know, it requires Dr. Ji Xiang's approval," Zhao Zhe stammered.

"Okay, thank you." Lin Jiu thanked him politely, then left as if he had disappeared. Neither Zhao Zhe nor Xie Kai could recall how he left.

After a dozen seconds of stunned silence, Xie Kai asked in confusion, "Zhao Zhe, who is this ghost-like person?"

"They say he's a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital, and he's already received a professorship to lead a medical team. Once he goes back on vacation, he'll have his own medical team."

"What did you say?!" Xie Kai's mouth could fit a goose egg.

"Massachusetts General Hospital," Zhao Zhe said with certainty.

"The Haval one?"

"Yes."

"..." Xie Kai finally fell silent, his eyes and eyebrows twitching as if he had suffered a stroke.

"There's nothing I can do, I just arrived early, otherwise there wouldn't be a place for me in the medical team. Look, you see Dr. Lin Jiuze, right? Even he might not be able to come for further training."

Zhao Zhe appeared to be complaining, but he was actually showing off, and he was at Versailles.

Xie Kai's lips twitched slightly, and finally he forced a very ugly, almost crying smile.

"Zhao Zhe, the hospital said you've really risen to a high position, and I didn't believe it. But now I see, you're incredibly awesome!"

"Hey, don't say that. I'm just a senior attending physician. I haven't done much in Xiao Ji's medical team. But the pay is good here, so I'm happy with my work."

"Oh? How much? Can it be 50,000 yuan a month?" Xie Kai's expression shifted, and he asked a question he shouldn't have.

Everyone was tight-lipped about income, and Xie Kai regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Zhe's importance in his heart had already changed.

"Ha, making money is a small matter."

"Haha, right, we're serving the people, healing the sick and saving lives. Why talk about making money? That's vulgar!" Xie Kai rarely went along with Zhao Zhe's words.

"Old Xie, you have a pretty high level of awareness."

Xie Kai felt that Zhao Zhe was mocking him, but he did not refute it.

Zhao Zhe smiled, not making things too difficult for Xie Kai, and continued, "I've only been working in the medical team for less than a month, and Xiao Ji has already summarized all the things I've been thinking about over the years and published a paper in The Lancet."

"Then let's..."

Zhao Zhe was halfway through his sentence when Xie Kai suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What did you say?!"

"Huh? You mean the production team?"

No, the previous sentence.

"I published a paper in The Lancet and then selected this year's provincial natural science projects."

"The lancet? The lancet I know?" Xie Kai pressed.

His eyes had started to turn red and were bloodshot, making him look somewhat frightening.

"Yes." This was exactly the effect Zhao Zhe wanted. He was very pleased and satisfied.

In life, the recognition of others is also very important. I don't have a level as high as Xiao Ji, so it's good enough if my old colleagues are a little envious and jealous.

"Holy crap! You actually have an article in The Lancet!" Xie Kai's grip tightened.

But then Xie Kai laughed, "You must be the author of number five, six, seven, or eight. They just use your work to write articles and then give you scraps. And you're still so smug about that?"

"I'm the first author, and I also led the provincial natural science project. Actually, I know that Xiao Ji only asked me to be a figurehead because he didn't have enough years of work experience, so that others wouldn't gossip. Being a figurehead is fine, it doesn't matter."

"However, I can't be this figurehead for long. I'll be promoted to associate chief physician next year, and Xiao Ji will probably be promoted to associate chief physician as well. Then I can just focus on being a good assistant."

As Zhao Zhe spoke, he observed Xie Kai.

Seeing Xie Kai's pupils constrict and his light reflex barely appear, I felt incredibly pleased.
