Healing Doctor

Chapter 658 can only be attributed to luck.

Lin Jiu came out of the ward and followed behind Ji Xiang and Director Bai, silently listening to Director Bai talk about the Provincial Natural Resources Department.

When he got off the plane, he heard Director Bai and Ji Xiang talking about Outstanding Young Scientists. Lin Jiu had encountered some of these terms before, but not others, but it didn't matter.

Even if the time, place, or person were different, anyone with a sound mind would invest some resources in Ji Xiang after testing and understanding him.

The exact amount of resources needed will depend on the situation at the time.

For example, Lin Jiuze himself.

He was very distressed and didn't think about it any further.

The patient who had been bleeding after internal hemorrhoid surgery was the one that Lin Jiuze actually saw Ji Xiang diagnose in his clinical work.

There is no film crew here, so there is no possibility of leaking the confirmed diagnosis or the main diagnosis in advance.

He repeatedly tried to "diagnose" himself but got the wrong answers. However, when Ji Xiang asked about the patient's medical history, he chatted with the patient for a few minutes and got the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome.

Lin Jiu found Ji Xiang increasingly interesting.

The diagnosis was wildly imaginative and left no trace.

Any doctor would be concerned about a patient's inexplicable postoperative bleeding, but who would focus on a groin hernia that developed after exercise after taking a medical history?

Ke Jixiang did it, and he made it beautifully decorated.

Finally, Lin Jiu personally confirmed that the patient did indeed have Budd-Chiari syndrome.

If it were any other illness, Lin Jiu wouldn't feel too frustrated. Budd-Chiari syndrome is a disease specific to interventional and vascular procedures, and he hadn't even noticed it!

Lin Jiu was plunged into deep confusion, regret, guilt, and resentment.

An ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis, and an emergency surgery was scheduled. Angiography confirmed the diagnosis, and the surgery was performed by the vascular surgery department.

The surgery for Budd-Chiari syndrome is not difficult; the challenge in this patient's case lies in the diagnosis.

Since it is a chronic, non-standard disease, getting a diagnosis usually depends on luck or rich clinical experience.

Ji Xiang is very young, and his rich clinical experience seems to have nothing to do with him. Lin Jiu attributes it all to luck.

It can only be attributed to luck; otherwise, Lin Jiu would never have been able to overcome this hurdle.

A few days passed, and everything calmed down.

Ji Xiang and Zhao Zhe were undergoing hybrid surgery for kidney cancer, and Lin Jiu was also involved.

Because of the variety show, the number of people seeking medical help has increased significantly, which has resolved Ji Xiang's initial problem.

Lin Jiu was the third member of the medical team. He always stood quietly to the side, observing Ji Xiang.

As if looking at his first love, Lin Jiu couldn't get enough of looking at Ji Xiang.

This is a very strange doctor; at least Lin Jiu had never encountered one before.

That day, after get off work, Lin Jiuze and Ji Xiang changed clothes and prepared to go home. They had performed seven pre-operative interventional embolization surgeries for kidney cancer resection in one day, which was quite a lot of work, and Lin Jiuze felt very tired.

At Massachusetts General Hospital, he performed less than 100 surgeries a year. He never expected that he could complete a year's worth of surgeries in just one month at the Second Affiliated Hospital.

However, Lin Jiu did not complain. He learned something from each surgery, and his cooperation with Ji Xiang became more and more skilled.

"Dr. Lin, you can go back now. We're done for the day," Ji Xiang said after changing his clothes.

"And you?"

"I'm going to the emergency room; Dr. Meng is on duty today."

"Emergency Department?!" Lin Jiuze's head buzzed.

When Lin Jiu was in Massachusetts, he was particularly reluctant to see patients in outpatient clinics. The patients were all kinds of strange people, and even though he only saw 10 patients a day, Lin Jiu felt overwhelmed.

Emergency room, Ji Xiang—these two words kept popping into my head.

"Can I come along and take a look?" Lin Jiu asked.

"Sure, no problem." Ji Xiang walked to the emergency room, taking out his phone as he went and telling Meng Qingfei that he wanted to order two servings of dumplings, with chives and shrimp filling.

"Why dumplings?" Lin Jiu asked, puzzled.

Ji Xiang has been bothered by this matter. You can't expect to get richer the more you eat, right? Fortunately, you can't drink alcohol while on duty in the emergency room, which is different from the old saying.

Or is it that nothing tastes better than dumplings? But the next sentence is too irresponsible.

When Lin Jiu saw Meng Qingfei, he felt uneasy. Especially the two dark marks on the back of Meng Qingfei's white coat; it was hard to believe that such a doctor could gain the trust of his patients.

He couldn't believe that Ji Xiang would show such extreme respect when talking to Meng Qingfei.

"I heard you've been doing a lot of surgeries lately, are they going well?" Meng Qingfei asked while quickly eating dumplings.

"It's alright, they're all basic surgeries, nothing difficult."

Meng Qingfei was not surprised; he ate 18 dumplings in less than 3 minutes.

He patted his belly, indicating that he was very satisfied.

"Teacher Meng, is the emergency room busy today?" Ji Xiang ate a little slowly, but much faster than Lin Jiu, who had only eaten two dumplings.

"Today's a good class!" Meng Qingfei laughed. "Maybe it's because I got scratched in the last class, so I have a feeling I'll get a good night's sleep this class."

Are there any patients outside?

When Ji Xiang asked about the outside, he meant the patients who were undergoing examinations and could return at any time. Once they returned, Meng Qingfei would be busy.

"There is one, it's nothing."

Meng Qingfei spoke with a somewhat strange expression.

He chuckled. "The patient injured his head by banging it against the wall; is that what we learned in textbooks about 'head-banging'?"

Why?

"The patient talked to me for a long time after he came in, and I noticed that he was a bit mentally unstable. But it's okay, he's the kind of person who just has temporary emotional problems. He can go home and sleep it off, or if that doesn't work, he can sleep for a few days and he'll be fine eventually."

Ji Xiang got into position, waiting to listen to Meng Qingfei gossip.

"The patient works in earthwork excavation in our city," Meng Qingfei said, then asked, "Xiao Ji, you know about earthwork excavation, right?"

"I know, it's very profitable, but maintaining good relations with the local villages is a gray area," Ji Xiang replied.

"Hmm? How did you know?" Meng Qingfei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"When I was little, my dad would drive me around and tell me about everything we saw. Once, we saw a wild lake where people were fishing, but my dad told me about digging earthworks."

"According to my dad, the lake was surrounded by steep slopes and didn't look like it was formed naturally. It must have been created by people digging earth. Later, it rained and the water accumulated, so it became a wild lake."

"Your dad is really an interesting person," Meng Qingfei praised.

"My dad meant to tell me what kind of people I shouldn't mess with, like the group that digs the earth. He said they have all sorts of connections with the local area and have a bunch of hotheads working for them, so it's best not to have any contact with them."

Meng Qingfei nodded; he agreed with what Ji Xiang's father had said.

"The patient started a company and hired a beautiful female manager to do some of his official work. But not long after, he started an affair with the manager. She was indeed cunning; in less than a year, she became his mistress and moved into his home."
