Chapter 760 Professor Wei is not worth befriending

"Professor Wei, come on, let's have a drink!" Director Liu Zhi raised his glass and urged everyone to drink.

After a few rounds of drinks, the people at the table were already quite drunk.

They were both in the urology department and were rising stars in Beijing, so Director Liu always valued this kind of exchange.

Everyone wants to have a way out.

If one day a surgery cannot be performed, it would be a wonderful story if experts from the capital city were to fly to the provincial capital for a consultation.

There aren't many similar examples, but they do exist. Every similar incident is treated as an urban legend by doctors.

Even someone as aloof as Director Bai has strong connections at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, though he rarely uses them.

Director Liu, influenced by what he heard and saw, also developed this mindset.

So when he learned that Professor Wei Fusi was going to Yuanliao for a kidney transplant, he contacted Professor Zhou in advance and arranged to have dinner together when they returned from the provincial capital.

They clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

"Professor Wei, Professor Zhou, with you two overseeing things in the province, kidney transplant surgeries have really taken off in the last two years," Director Liu praised.

"It's just that your views are too outdated," Wei Fusi said, accepting Director Liu's praise but with great dissatisfaction.

Director Liu was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Tianbo then explained that there was another patient in Yuanliao who needed a kidney transplant, but the kidney source couldn't be secured, so one less surgery was performed.

Professor Wei Fusi wasn't there for the money from the scalpel surgery; his main purpose was to increase the number of surgeries he performed in preparation for future applications to be recognized as a recipient of the Outstanding Young Scientists Fund.

But because of this, Director Liu was unhappy and slightly lowered his evaluation of Wei Fusi.

"Removing a kidney and giving it to someone in need won't have a fatal impact on the body; this is basic common sense."

"That family that was a match is a real scoundrel; they act like they're going to die after donating a kidney."

"I don't know which idiot told me, but they refused very decisively. I'm already prepared for the surgery."

After drinking a little, Wei Fusi became quite talkative, rambling on and on.

"How did the patient's family know that the tissue matching was successful?" Director Liu was taken aback.

Wei Fusi frowned slightly. "That's what the patient's biological mother said."

The word "biological mother" sounds a bit odd, but Director Liu felt a little disgusted by it.

Even a fool could figure out what was going on; Professor Wei is not someone worth associating with.

Director Liu couldn't say more at the dinner table; he just kept giving perfunctory answers.

Director Liu did not agree with Wei Fusi's statement.

Surgery, especially organ transplantation, always requires extreme caution.

However, Wei Fusi's emotions became noticeably heightened after drinking, which annoyed Director Liu.

Director Liu paused briefly to change the subject.

"If we're talking about differing perspectives, that's certainly true. People here tend to have more traditional views. For example, I bought my mom a smart washing machine."

"Older people are used to washing clothes by hand. But since they're over seventy, I figured they should use a washing machine if possible. Honestly, even if you ask them to go to Sanya in winter, they won't go. They always come up with all sorts of excuses, it's all because they're afraid of spending money."

"Yes, that's how old people are," Zhou Tianbo said with a smile.

"Ever since we bought the smart washing machine, my mom calls me every week. I've explained the button to her eight hundred times, but she still can't figure it out," Director Liu said. "But you can't really say she doesn't know how, can you?"

"Haha, the learning ability of the elderly does decline a bit with age, Director Liu, there's nothing we can do about it." Zhou Tianbo also helped Director Liu change the subject.

"On the surface, that's how it seems, but the automatic mahjong machine I bought for my mom is also an electronic product, right? But my mom not only knows how to use it, she also knows how to take it apart. If there's a problem while playing mahjong, she can fix it in less than half an hour, and she can't wait for me to get home."

Zhou Tianbo was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Wei Fusi smiled, but his thoughts were still on the kidney transplant surgery that "should have been done but wasn't." After Director Liu finished speaking, Wei Fusi began to criticize again.

Director Liu sighed inwardly.

It seems that no matter how great Professor Wei Fusiwei's achievements may be in the future, they will have nothing to do with me.

The professor's values ​​should be similar to those of the local doctors for better collaboration.

Professor Gu was quite good, but unfortunately the First Affiliated Hospital beat him to it.

After everyone had eaten their fill, Director Liu grew a little impatient. He took out a small box from his bag and handed out dental floss to each person.

"Wow, Director Liu is really particular," Zhou Tianbo joked with a smile, ignoring Wei Fusi.

"Oh, there's more to this story."

"Tell me," Zhou Tianbo said, looking at Director Liu and ignoring Wei Fusi's complaints.

"When I was young, I wasn't particular about picking my teeth. I didn't even use toothpicks. What did I like to use?"

Director Liu picked up the cigarette box on the table and took out the tin foil inside.

"Use this thing."

"Can this be used to pick teeth?" Zhou Tianbo was taken aback.

"Professor Zhou, you know what, this thing is really convenient for picking your teeth, unlike nowadays, where you have to keep dental floss on hand. And it has to be individually packaged, otherwise there will be a lot of embarrassing situations."

"However, once a patient's family treated us to a karaoke party and hired a female escort. I wasn't very interested in being an escort, so I just huddled in a corner."

Zhou Tianbo gave a mocking smile.

Director Liu didn't seem to care and continued, "I took the foil out of the cigarette box, folded it neatly, and when I looked up again, all the hostesses were gone."

"Huh? What happened?"

"They just left the house, and then called the police."

"!!!" Zhou Tianbo suddenly realized, "Hahahaha."

"So from then on, I had no choice but to start using dental floss." Director Liu sighed.

"Using dental floss is fine; it's much better than you making a blunder."

"Since that..."

As Director Liu was speaking, his phone rang.

He made an apologetic gesture and answered the phone.

"Mmm, how is it now?"

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Depend on!"

Director Liu cursed angrily and hung up the phone.

"Is it an emergency?" Zhou Tianbo asked.

They're both doctors, so they must know a thing or two about this.

However, for routine emergency surgeries, calls are rarely made to the head of the department. The head of the department has frontline clinical doctors, second-line chief residents, and third-line professors on standby.

It was probably just a coincidence today.

But can Director Liu still perform surgery after drinking alcohol?

"A patient with a femoral shaft fracture had a blood transfusion problem and is now in the ICU. He has stopped urinating and has a small amount of hematuria."

No urination means that very little urine flows out of the urinary catheter per hour, not that there is absolutely no urine.

"This has nothing to do with us," Zhou Tianbo frowned.

"Sigh, my boss is no good, so I can only take a look." Director Liu was about to leave and didn't want to listen to Wei Fusi's rambling.

He also instructed General Manager Wu to make the phone call.

He just needs an excuse.

"Let's go together, I want to see your skills too."

Director Liu was taken aback when he heard Professor Wei Fusi say this.
