Healing Doctor

Chapter 70 Kneeling Very Well

"Professor Mo, you...you're not seeing things, are you?" Wu asked, stammering.

Mo Chenggui shook his head; he didn't directly answer President Wu's question. The answer was clear, but even though Mo Chenggui had witnessed everything firsthand, he still felt it was somewhat unreal.

Perhaps I misjudged him, or perhaps Ji Xiang was "lucky" in by some twist of fate.

Although the probability of accidentally inserting the zebra guidewire into the ureteral orifice is extremely low, it is still slightly higher than the probability of a skilled resident physician successfully inserting the guidewire.

"That's impossible."

"That's impossible..."

Mr. Wu murmured, and Mo Chenggui could sense that Mr. Wu's pupils were slightly dilated.

Mo Chenggui gently patted Mr. Wu on the shoulder, then turned around, changed his clothes, and left the operating room.

He couldn't bear to watch any longer.

He wanted some peace and quiet.

He was terrified that his values ​​would crumble.

Ji Xiang escorted the patient back to the ward and then took over the next patient to the stage.

"Ding-dong~"

Just as Ji Xiang was calming the patient down, a crisp sound rang in his ears.

task?

Ji Xiang felt that the system was assigning tasks at a significantly higher frequency.

[Trigger Quest: Preaching]

Task objective: Upgrade Chief Resident Wu Qingshi's lithotripsy and stone removal skills to LV4.

Task duration: Unlimited.

Task Rewards: 1. Within 3 years, you can earn a certain amount of experience points for the type of surgery performed by this doctor.

Second: Gain 30 surgery points.

This task...

One second Ji Xiang was chatting animatedly with the patient, but the next second he fell into deep thought.

This mission is different from the previous ones; it's like a seductive and shameless woman flaunting herself in the upper right corner of Ji Xiang's vision.

The task was to teach Mr. Wu how to perform surgery...

Ji Xiang felt a little strange. He glanced at the ridiculous skill [Superior Doctor's Gaze] and secretly resolved that if possible, he would never use this skill!

Of course, Ji Xiang also knew that the possibility was slim.

The reward offered by the mission made Ji Xiang's heart flutter.

If the task is completed successfully, each lithotripsy surgery performed by a clinical resident during their residency period will provide them with a certain amount of experience points.

This is practically like taking a pet to fight in the wild.

Just relax and wait for the experience points to be rewarded.

Don't be too cool!

I just don't know how skilled Mr. Wu is, and how can I find out his surgical level?

"Then next time for sure?" Ji Xiang was beginning to waver.

"Doctor..." The patient began to feel uneasy when he saw the young doctor, who had just been chatting and laughing with him, suddenly become silent and look serious.

"Huh?" Ji Xiang was thinking about the wonderful future of having President Wu "tirelessly" help him with his training while he was working hard, when his thoughts were interrupted by the patient.

"Should I give General Manager Wu a red envelope?"

"..."

"I want to give it, but I don't know how much is appropriate." The patient lowered his voice and asked Ji Xiang, "Dr. Ji, this happened so suddenly, and the other patients in the ward don't know how much to give in a red envelope either."

"What are the rules here?"

As the patient spoke, he grabbed Ji Xiang's white coat and pulled him toward the fire escape.

With a slight exertion, the patient felt pain in his lower back and cried out, "Ouch!"

Ji Xiang was both amused and exasperated. "Stop it, stop it."

"I didn't mean anything by it, it's just the custom back home that I have to give a red envelope," the patient explained, enduring the pain.

"Move gently," Ji Xiang sighed.

He thought of the near-shock pain he had endured while empathizing with the pain.

At that time, I was cold and wet all over. Whenever the stone went down and got stuck in the narrow part of the ureter, I would feel a heart-wrenching, unbearable pain.

"Let's get the surgery done quickly," Ji Xiang said to the patient with a smile. "These are minor matters; we don't have such rules at the Second Affiliated Hospital."

"Can……"

"It's mainly because the hospital is very strict." Seeing that the patient was still not giving up, Ji Xiang casually said, "Now it's said that if a case is found, you'll be sent to the medical affairs office for a reprimand and then suspended from work for six months."

"You tell me, which doctor would dare? I know Mr. Wu, he wouldn't. Don't worry, whether you give a bribe or not, would he deliberately slack off on the surgery?"

The patient hesitated for a moment. Although what Ji Xiang said made some sense, the knife hadn't actually landed on him yet.

What if?

"First of all, doctors are not as noble as they are portrayed. They are just ordinary people who have to support their families, just like you and me. Their basic principle in doing things is kindness."

"If it were me..." the patient began, then stopped abruptly.

"Hey, you would do the same if you were in my shoes. Those people who do things without any rules and will stop at nothing would have been deans long ago."

"..." The patient thought Ji Xiang was talking nonsense, but upon closer reflection, the statement seemed to make sense.

"Don't worry." Ji Xiang chatted with the patient about all sorts of things as he arrived at the operating room door.

As Ji Xiang led the patient into the operating room, he noticed that General Manager Wu had changed.

A glowing bar inexplicably appeared above his head, displaying his level as LV3.

Ji Xiang smiled slightly, realizing that the system had already made the arrangements.

Mr. Wu doesn't have a system, and to jump directly from LV3 to LV4, he needs to accumulate a lot of experience points. Who knows when the task will be completed?

Ji Xiang had already anticipated this when he saw that there was no time limit for the system tasks.

While pondering the NPC-like Mr. Wu with the light bar above him, Ji Xiang positioned the patient.

"Lift your legs up."

"Yes, spread them out a bit, and put them on the leg rest."

The patient got into position, and his face immediately turned red.

"Damn it, I never thought I'd be in this situation one day..."

"What did you say?" Ji Xiang didn't hear clearly. He adjusted the angle of the leg rest, spread his legs apart, and prepared the position for the surgeon.

"This position... is too embarrassing..."

"It's alright, it's alright." Ji Xiang said with a smile, "That's because you didn't go to the proctology department. If you had so many ideas, you wouldn't be able to have proctology surgery at all."

And every day when changing the dressing, I had to bend over... When I was an intern, I met a patient who told me upon discharge that he felt a little unaccustomed to having to bend over like that every day when changing the dressing.

The patient was speechless.

The doctors at the Second Affiliated Hospital are really good at talking nonsense; they can take your thoughts to the other side of the world in just a few words.

After getting into position and disinfecting, Ji Xiang and General Manager Wu went to scrub their hands.

"Did you change patients' dressings every day during your internship?" General Manager Wu asked. "Changing dressings in the proctology department is like slaughtering a pig. I've seen it; it's extremely uncomfortable."

"Yes, I learn quickly, and the teacher lets me learn freely." Ji Xiang squinted his eyes.

He learns quickly... Mr. Wu had some inexplicable thoughts in his mind.

As Mr. Wu performed the surgery, he carefully observed Ji Xiang's movements.

However, Ji Xiang did not make any extra moves, but simply focused on doing his job as an assistant.

The surgery proceeded step by step. The zebra guidewire was inserted into the bladder, and Mr. Wu located the patient's left ureteral orifice. He tried once.

Unsurprisingly, the attempt failed.

Inserting a guidewire into the ureteral orifice is a procedure that surgeons are not good at. The best doctors in the hospital who can perform this type of procedure are in interventional radiology, cardiology, and neurology.

This procedure is only performed in urology for stone removal surgery. It's understandable that Mr. Wu has little experience with it and isn't proficient in it.

If it weren't for Mr. Wu's usual dedication, his skills wouldn't have reached LV3.

"Mr. Wu, would pressing down a little more on your hand help?" Ji Xiang, still on his mission, tentatively offered Mr. Wu some pointers.

"You're teaching me..." Mr. Wu said somewhat unhappily.

But he immediately recalled the imposing aura emanating from Ji Xiang.

Although Mr. Wu didn't feel anything at the moment, he was still subconsciously careful, afraid that something unexpected might happen and he would be stared at by the death stare.

Ji Xiang was speechless. He had a sudden thought and really wanted to use [Superior Doctor's Gaze]. But this stupid skill... Ji Xiang felt it would bring him a terrible disaster, and it would be especially awkward to use. He decided to wait and see.

As a resident trainee, Ji Xiang knew what he was doing.

It's best to avoid things that overshadow the main character, so he was very reluctant to use the skill "Superior Doctor's Gaze".

But the "it smells so good" principle still works in the background.

Even though Ji Xiang was reluctant to use it, he inadvertently used it several times.

Mr. Wu was unaware that he had walked back and forth in front of the gaze. He calmed himself down, suppressed his restlessness, and began to try again.

But for some reason, today's surgery didn't go well.

It's no wonder that clinicians believe in all sorts of superstitions; sometimes it's just a coincidence that if one surgery doesn't go well, then all the surgeries in a day will go wrong.

This may also be related to the doctor's mindset.

After all, not all doctors can work like robots, without any emotional fluctuations.

Even when praised by the system NPCs and rewarded by the system, Ji Xiang's emotions will not remain calm.

The more anxious Mr. Wu became, the more uncooperative the zebra guidewire became. The ureteral orifice was not large, and its movement with the peristalsis of the bladder added to the difficulty.

once

twice

three times

Failure after failure soaked Mr. Wu's hat once again.

"Mr. Wu, your health isn't what it used to be," the circulating nurse joked as she wiped Mr. Wu's sweat. "You're sweating so much from just a minor surgery. And this is only from moving your hands; if you did a full-body workout, wouldn't you be dehydrated in three minutes?"

"..." Mr. Wu sighed.

These words weren't a joke to him at all; Mr. Wu was already used to all of this, and the world seemed to stand still to him.

What silenced Mr. Wu was that today's surgery had truly not gone smoothly.

"You give it a try." General Manager Wu handed the Zebra guide wire to Ji Xiang.

The circulating nurse was taken aback, and she glared fiercely at Mr. Wu.

Because it was continuous epidural anesthesia, the patient could hear the conversation, so the circulating nurses would just say whatever came to mind. If they really had any objections to Mr. Wu's surgery, they absolutely could not say it outright.

Mr. Wu pretended not to see it.

Ji Xiang took the zebra guidewire and gently twisted it between his fingers.

In Ji Xiang's hands, the guide wire was like a tamed wild horse, moving slowly but steadily and calmly.

Mr. Wu's eyes widened as he looked at Ji Xiang's hand gesture, while his pupils shrank.

I watched helplessly as the zebra guidewire obediently and smoothly "slipped" into the left ureteral opening without a single ripple.

[Dr. Wu Qingshi's experience points +3.]

Ji Xiang laughed. "President Wu's kneeling was really direct."
