Healing Doctor

Chapter 66 Xiao Wu, your skills have improved.

"Wow!" exclaimed the CT scan doctor. "Mr. Wu, you're amazing! How did you figure that out?"

Mr. Wu was ashamed.

The praise from the CT room doctor made him even more unable to accept it.

Two instances of bloodline suppression and the encounter with two abnormal patients prove that the dreaded feeling of familiarity was indeed valid.

But Mr. Wu simply couldn't understand the logic behind it.

The other person was just a resident trainee, while I was the head of the urology department at the Second Affiliated Hospital... I was the head of the urology department!

"Impressive! With your diagnostic skills, you'll probably be promoted to group professor soon."

The CT room doctor sped up, operating the machine as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button. "It's amazing that it was discovered early. If it had been any later, and the membrane had ruptured and caused massive bleeding in the dead of night, it would have been a medical accident."

As he spoke, he uploaded the video footage and printed it out immediately.

"General Wu, report to me and I'll get out right away. You take the patient back first."

"Hurry and save them!"

"Wow, your skills have improved really fast! The chief resident position is a real test of your abilities; I'm impressed with your diagnostic skills!"

The CT room doctor kept expressing his admiration and surprise at General Wu's accurate diagnosis.

Mr. Wu really wanted to take off his underwear and stuff it into the mouth of the doctor in the CT room.

But when he saw the sincere expression on the doctor's face in the CT room and the thumbs-up he was giving, a little flower gradually bloomed in his heart.

"Go back quickly," the doctor in the CT room urged.

Such a large hematoma could rupture at any time, leading to a major emergency resuscitation.

Early detection is only the first step; subsequent treatment is also necessary.

General Manager Wu instructed Lu Kai and Liu Yunqing to pull the cart gently, so that a bump would not cause the diaphragm to rupture and blood to flow directly into the retroperitoneum.

While jogging, General Manager Wu made a phone call to Director Liu.

"Director! Patient Gao-2 has experienced a spontaneous kidney rupture!"

After the call connected, Mr. Wu didn't exchange pleasantries and briefly explained the situation.

Director Liu remained silent.

A few seconds later, he asked in a trembling voice, "The patient is in shock? Are they trying to resuscitate him?"

"The patient just had a CT scan, and their blood pressure is normal. They seem to be fine now."

"..."

Director Liu remained silent for an even longer time.

"Director, look..."

"I'm going right now. Who's on second line today? Take good care of the patient. If conservative treatment is possible, do it. If not, prepare to go into surgery. I'm coming over now. Notify the operating room to be ready for emergency surgery at any time."

Director Liu gave the instructions.

After reporting to Director Liu, General Manager Wu got busy.

Diagnosis is only the first step; there is so much more to do next.

How should conservative treatment be managed? And if conservative treatment fails, how can we assess the patient's condition immediately and call in for emergency treatment?

If you're going to the operating room in the emergency, all those tedious tasks need to be done beforehand, and you need to communicate well with the patient's family, even if the patient is familiar with Director Liu.

These tasks are numerous and fragmented, but they are no challenge for General Manager Wu.

Most importantly, Mr. Wu couldn't face Ji Xiang. He had no idea what to say when he saw Ji Xiang, or even whether to step with his right or left foot.

An hour and a half later, Director Liu stood at the patient's bedside. The bedside ultrasound showed that the hematoma in the patient's right kidney area was increasing, while the blood pressure on the electrocardiogram monitor was gradually decreasing.

At the same time, the patient experienced cold and clammy symptoms all over his body.

"Notify the operating room, get on the operating table!" Director Liu waved his hand.

The patient was wheeled into the operating room. Although Director Liu was somewhat frustrated, he was also extremely relieved.

I examined the patient myself in the afternoon and didn't think the patient had any major problems.

But reality proved him wrong.

Losing face is nothing; what's meant to happen can't be hidden. That's just how the medical industry works.

Take immediate action to stop the bleeding and save the person's life first; we can deal with other things later.

After Director Liu changed his clothes, General Manager Wu also rushed off to change his clothes after taking the patient inside.

"Xiao Wu, you've been much more attentive since I told you about the spontaneous kidney amputation a few days ago. The patient had no clear symptoms, yet you were able to diagnose a ruptured kidney. That's good," Director Liu said with satisfaction, looking at Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu fell silent once again.

He found himself silent far too often in the past few days, as if all the things that had ever left him speechless in his entire life had happened in these last few days.

"Spontaneous kidney rupture after lithotripsy is very rare. Precisely because it is rare, it is particularly dangerous," Director Liu said slowly while changing his clothes.

He didn't thank them; he was talking to one of his own doctors. Thanking them would have caused problems.

Director Liu only praised General Manager Wu a couple of times.

"Director, actually... that... it's..."

"Hahaha." Director Liu laughed heartily, "Why are you stuttering when I praise you? Pride makes one regress, but excessive humility is also wrong, too hypocritical. Get ready to go on stage, take your people to get into position."

Mr. Wu, his face flushed, changed his clothes to prepare for the surgery.

He felt ashamed; the truth was not like that, but the director wouldn't listen to his explanation, and he couldn't bring himself to say it.

While working, he pondered whether he should give that "unproductive" junior trainee a chance as a way of thanking him.

That seems like a good idea.

After getting into position, Mr. Wu went to scrub his hands.

When he saw Jixiang's tall figure, he swallowed back all the words he had to say.

That figure was radiant with sunshine, but Mr. Wu found it awkward no matter how he looked at it!

Although Ji Xiang is not currently using the idiotic skill of the senior doctor's gaze, this skill has already caused irreparable trauma to President Wu's heart.

Lu Kai then went up on stage.

The surgery went smoothly. Although Mr. Wu was a little distracted, laparoscopic surgery doesn't require him to do much; he just needs to hold the scope steady.

Director Liu successfully located and ligated the ruptured blood vessel, and after another examination, found no active bleeding. The surgery was then completed.

The moment Director Liu stepped down, Ji Xiang heard a crisp sound.

mission completed!

Ji Xiang was somewhat happy.

It seems I still need to do more clinical work and take a look around.

My physical strength is limited. I use it all up every day in the operating room, and I can only replenish it by sleeping.

To gain more experience points, you must take on more tasks in the department.

"Ding-dong~"

Just as one task ended, Ji Xiang heard a notification sound for a new task.

System Task: Emergency Medical Services

Task: Perform 20 stone removal surgeries.

Task duration: 7 days.

Task Rewards: 30000 experience points, +1 free attribute point.

The quest introduced something that hadn't appeared before—free attribute points.

As the name suggests, this can be added to basic endurance to increase daily surgical training time, bringing Ji Xiang one step closer to completing the long-term main mission.

It can also be added to other attributes.

In short, the rewards for this task are really good.

A slight smile appeared on Ji Xiang's lips beneath his mask.

He didn't care whether he would have the surgery or not, or whether it would cause him to get a knot.

Unbeknownst to him, Ji Xiang's mindset had become worlds apart from that of a proper resident trainee.

As for the task, he'll figure out a way to do it. Ji Xiang isn't in a hurry, after all, his luck stat is so high that he doesn't need to worry about it.

Ji Xiang did not think that Director Liu was incompetent because of one misdiagnosis by Director Liu.

He watched the surgery intently.

Director Liu clearly and thoroughly documented every step of the process: establishing pneumoperitoneum, entering the abdominal cavity, and opening the retroperitoneum.

One surgery gave Ji Xiang 128 experience points.

This is even more valuable than Ji Xiang's experience in performing a circumcision surgery on his own!

After watching the surgery, Ji Xiang was completely satisfied.

Having honed his skills in the operating room, Ji Xiang understands the entire surgical process clearly, and there is nothing he cannot comprehend.

After taking the patient home, Ji Xiang changed his clothes and prepared to go home.

Ji Xiang still has stamina left today, so he hurrys home to "hand in his homework".

"Dr. Ji!"

As Ji Xiang was about to step out of the ward, he heard General Manager Wu calling his name from behind.

"General Manager Wu." Ji Xiang stopped and smiled.

Mr. Wu was a little embarrassed, but he overcame his discomfort with Ji Xiang and made a effort to walk up to Ji Xiang.

"Dr. Ji, thank you for today," Mr. Wu said, "shamelessly."

"I didn't do anything; it was you, General Wu, who discovered the anomaly," Ji Xiang said.

Mr. Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't sense any bloodline suppression emanating from Ji Xiang, nor did his own DNA change.

Compared to those two encounters, this was a very strange feeling.

"Dr. Ji, I've heard you're quite good at circumcision," Mr. Wu said in a deep voice. "Would you like me... to help you contact other professors to take a look?"

"Go to Taiwan?" Ji Xiang looked at General Manager Wu.

"It's better for resident trainees to perform more surgeries."

Mr. Wu tried his best to suppress his embarrassment and extended an olive branch.

He knew that he was fortunate to have Ji Xiang with him today; otherwise, this dark night would have been hell for him.

"General Manager Wu, are you in charge of the department's emergency room?" Ji Xiang asked.

Mr. Wu was taken aback, then nodded.

"Laser lithotripsy for kidney stone patients..."

"Are you interested in getting in touch?" Mr. Wu asked.

Ji Xiang nodded.

However, he was not surprised at all by President Wu's offer. With such a high luck stat, it would be strange if no one rushed to offer him a task given by the system.

Having grown up with this, Ji Xiang was already used to it and wasn't particularly surprised.

"Alright!"

Mr. Wu was straightforward; he agreed immediately.

"I'll admit the more seriously ill patients, complete the relevant examinations, and then give you an emergency room form. I'll take you there."

"Thanks."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Wu, Ji Xiang walked briskly downstairs, found his bicycle, and rode home.

……

"Dad, I'm back!" Ji Xiang greeted his father as he entered the house.

At this time, the old man should be asleep; his schedule has always been very regular.

But to Ji Xiang's surprise, his father was still in the study, staring intently at the computer screen.

Ever since Ji Xiang can remember, his grandfather has consistently spent more than ten hours a day analyzing stock charts. Even during the Spring Festival, when the whole family is reunited, he still stares at the boring and meaningless 1-minute candlestick charts.

Ji Xiang had also studied it and knew a little about it, but he wasn't interested.

"You're back so late, there must be an emergency at the hospital," the old man asked without turning his head.

"Um."

"Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, don't worry, Dad." Ji Xiang glanced at the old man's screen. It wasn't the domestic stock market, but he didn't care. He went back to his room to wash up, lay down, and then entered the system space.
