Healing Doctor

Chapter 757 There's something fishy going on here!

"Teacher, organ transplant surgery is already very mature. I think you seem to have some opinions about this type of surgery."

"It's not that I have any objections, but these kinds of surgeries involve a lot of issues." The system NPC's cloudy gaze suddenly deepened. "Medicine, like education, is the conscience and bottom line of a society."

Let me give you an example.

"Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Not to mention that he initially used witch doctor methods to treat it, Jobs was later hospitalized in Stanford because of restrictions in that state. He then went to Memphis, Tennessee for a liver transplant."

"The origin and destination of the organs are unclear, so I won't go into details. That's why I rarely pay attention to this type of surgery. The most important thing is... the surgery itself isn't difficult. Look at your kidney transplant surgery; the difficulty itself is relatively low, and the key lies in the subsequent anti-rejection treatment."

"Your focus is on autologous stem cell cloning. Is there any new progress?" Ji Xiang asked.

The system NPC smiled slightly, but his gaze was somewhat strange.

"Teacher, what do you want to say?" Ji Xiang asked.

"When a match is found, the hospital will not directly tell the family of the patient who needs a transplant. Instead, they will first contact the person who is a match and ask if they are willing to donate for a transplant."

The patient will only be notified if the matching donor is willing.

If the person seeking a matching test is unwilling, the hospital will simply say that the match was unsuccessful.

This is the proper procedure.

What hospital would directly tell a patient's family and force them to come to the hospital begging for help?

Ji Xiang was taken aback; so that's how it's said!

He still had questions to ask, but the system NPC didn't explain much to Ji Xiang. With a wave of his hand, Ji Xiang left the system's operating room and returned to reality.

Lying in bed, Ji Xiang briefly went over the entire process of this deeply empathetic experience.

Medical ethics is indeed very complicated. Ji Xiang likes the choices made by Director Bai and Meng Qingfei—doctors are just doctors, and can only be doctors.

Just like the two times he felt the same way about Shen Lang, although Ji Xiang really liked Shen Lang, he had a lot of complaints about Shen Lang and Professor Zhou's "curiosity".

That's not something a doctor should do at all.

Admittedly, Ji Xiang learned from Shen Lang that Professor Zhou had encountered some very unfortunate patients when he was young, but Ji Xiang always felt that what they were doing was too much trouble.

After muttering a few complaints about Professor Zhou and Shen Lang to himself, Ji Xiang thought of Zhao Zhe's son and ex-wife.

Zhao Zhe, the old chief physician, led a life of constant ups and downs and had a truly unfortunate existence.

His ex-wife didn't treat Zhao Zhe and their son as family either.

However, Ji Xiang only thought about these trivial family matters briefly before letting them go deeper.

Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes; there are certainly many details that the official is unaware of.

Besides, even if I knew, so what?

A doctor is just a doctor, and can only be a doctor.

As long as the illness can be cured, that's enough. It's wrong to worry about so much.

Ji Xiang focused intently on falling asleep.

In his dream, Ji Xiang dreamt that the surgery was successful, and "he" was walking hand in hand with his daughter in the grass. There was also a big dog beside them, which looked like a silly roe deer.

Losing weight is truly a nightmare: dieting, exercise, oily skin...

Ji Xiang had a jumbled dream all night, and woke up once at his usual time, a sign of his biological clock.

After catching up on sleep, I contacted Zhao Zhe after getting up.

Ji Xiang waited another day before returning to the provincial capital with Zhao Zhe and their families.

After a few days,

New Year.

During a departmental event, Ji Xiang watched from a corner as Director Sui sat in the center, with other professors standing on either side, offering toasts and speeches according to their departmental rank.

He didn't quite like Director Sui's style, but he didn't say much and joined in the fun.

After the party ended, Ji Xiang brought food for General Manager Xu Leyu to visit the chief resident who had to stay at his post.

Xu Leyu had already started eating; a table full of food was laid out on a blue sterile sheet.

"Mr. Xu, you..." Ji Xiang looked at the blue sterile sheet and scratched his head.

"The head nurse won't scold us during the New Year," Xu Leyu said with a smile.

"Tch, you didn't let the head nurse see it," the nurse retorted.

The department is now very strict about cost calculations, not only in terms of patient charges, but also in the strict control of items such as gloves used by doctors and nurses.

If the head nurse caught Xu Leyu using a blue sterile sheet to cover the table, she would definitely give him a good scolding.

"Xiao Ji, what delicious food did you bring?" Xu Leyu changed the subject.

"Sweet and sour pork, and a few side dishes."

Ji Xiang opened the food he had brought back for the staff on duty and placed it on the table.

"This is a tongue strip. Mr. Xu, please try it. It will help you speak eloquently when communicating with patients' families in the future."

"Hahaha." Xu Leyu laughed, "You are what you eat, Xiao Juan. It's a pity there's no pig brain, otherwise you should have eaten more."

"I often eat pig brains, but it doesn't seem to do any good," the nurse said, somewhat troubled, not finding Xu Leyu offensive.

Ji Xiang watched them chatting and joking, feeling quiet and happy.

"If it doesn't work, then you're not eating enough."

"If it were true that you could replenish what you eat, would eating people make you superior to others?" the nurse suddenly asked.

Ji Xiang sighed, realizing that this nurse had quite the wild imagination.

The saying goes, "You are what you eat," and I never imagined that there was such a thing as cannibalism in all these years.

"Nonsense, don't all the superior people eat..." Xu Leyu hadn't been drinking today, but he still spoke without restraint. He stopped mid-sentence.

"Hahaha." Xu Leyu laughed awkwardly. "It's not like I'm Tang Sanzang's flesh."

"Brother Xu, what were you trying to say?" the slow-witted nurse asked.

Xu Leyu focused his mind and clasped his hands together.

"This demon lady, as the Buddha is merciful, you may eat as you please, this humble monk has no objection."

But since we're going to eat it anyway, why eat both the best and the worst?

Wouldn't it be better to just consume the essence?

"Fairy Queen, this humble monk has a recipe that will allow you to eat the freshest and most quintessential parts of the body every day, greatly increasing your magical power and preserving your youth forever..."

"roll!"

Ji Xiang knew that Xu Leyu was an experienced driver, but today he was driving a bit too fast, so fast that it made Ji Xiang scratch his head.

Amidst their laughter and chatter, the young nurse had already forgotten the things Xu Leyu had mentioned that couldn't be heard by the director.

Xu Leyu was also somewhat calmed down from the shock.

If the director or dean hears what I just said, the road ahead will become much more difficult, going directly from hard mode to hell mode.

Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself during the Chinese New Year?

Ji Xiang chatted with them for a while, helped tidy up the table, and then rode his bicycle home.

In winter, the wind was biting cold, but Ji Xiang didn't feel particularly cold while riding his bicycle.

On his way home, Ji Xiang saw two groups of people arguing in the distance, and it seemed like they were about to come to blows.

But he wasn't willing to worry about it.

What on-site rescue? That doesn't even exist. Isn't it better to go home and sleep?

Compared to Shen Lang's meddling in things he empathizes with, Ji Xiang prefers to avoid trouble.
