Healing Doctor

Chapter 85 Important Mission!

"Just find anyone to make up the numbers," Director Bai said calmly.

Even the deputy director of the nursing department couldn't do anything about it.

The Nursing Department was a hundred times more attentive to the skills competition than the Medical Affairs Department.

Nurses are not allowed to leave after their night shifts, and they have to take all sorts of exams. Even if they have nothing to say, they have to make a sound. Not to mention the opportunity to show off in front of the leaders during the grand competition.

But man proposes, God disposes. One of the carefully selected nurses for the competition fell seriously ill. The head of the nursing department was furious and was raging at the nurse who was receiving an IV drip.

"Get ready to depart," Director Bai said.

"Director Bai, won't you say a few words?"

"What's there to say?" Director Bai chuckled. "It's a trivial competition."

He spoke his last words very softly, so softly that only he could hear them.

Although it was a trivial competition, Dean Zhao took it very seriously and even asked Director Bai from the Medical Affairs Department to oversee it.

This kind of thing should normally fall under the jurisdiction of the science and education department, but the people in the science and education department are not familiar with the judges.

Director Bai comes from a neurosurgery background. When he came to the government office, he had already performed surgeries on aneurysms, making him one of the best surgeons in the provincial capital.

It's important to be familiar with the judges and give them some preferential treatment.

After getting on the bus and arriving at the First Affiliated Hospital for the competition, Director Bai felt particularly bored, but he also sensed that something was amiss.

Is it because of Dean Zhao's son?

Director Bai listened carefully to Zhao Tianjiao's conversation with someone. They were talking about publishing articles and performing surgeries in the department.

In less than a week, Zhao Tianjiao was able to go on stage to tie knots almost every day, which is enough to make a resident trainee proud.

Director Bai wasn't surprised. He would have felt something was wrong if Zhao Tianjiao had been like everyone else.

As for publishing the article, that's probably Professor Deng's business and has nothing to do with Zhao Tianjiao.

His gaze swept across the room and landed on Ji Xiang, who was sitting in the corner of the last row.

Director Bai saw him reading a thick book and finally realized that something was wrong.

While others were either chatting quietly or cramming with study materials before the competition, this young man was engrossed in reading a thick book.

With just one glance, Director Bai knew that the book must be a professional book; he was very familiar with it.

"Young man, what are you looking at?" Director Bai asked as he walked over.

"Teacher." Ji Xiang saw Director Bai walking over and was about to stand up when a hand landed on his shoulder.

"Sit down and let's talk, no need to be so polite." Director Bai sat down next to Ji Xiang with a smile.

"Oh? The third edition of Urological Surgery."

"Yes, I rotate through the urology department."

"I see..." Director Bai glanced at Ji Xiang watching a partial nephrectomy and sneered inwardly.

My initial thought of asking where they were on the screen completely vanished.

What's this called?

A typical example of being overly ambitious.

"I'm looking into partial nephrectomy and the management of postoperative complications," Ji Xiang said frankly.

"Young man, focus on building a solid foundation first. Partial nephrectomy is a level four surgery, and you won't have the opportunity to do it during your residency training," Director Bai said calmly.

Let alone during residency training, even if it's a doctor from the same family, so what? How many professors in urology dare to perform partial nephrectomy?

Director Bai is very knowledgeable about clinical practice. Although he cannot perform such a highly complex urological surgery, he is fully aware of the potential problems that may arise from this procedure.

Because he's the one who solves problems when they arise.

"Yes, I know, teacher."

"Look at the circumcision procedure, look at how to perform prostatectomy, that's what we should be doing."

Director Bai showed no interest; after saying a few words, he got up and went back.

"Hey, Dr. Xiao Ji." Tang Yan turned around, her long eyelashes fluttering, her eyes seeming to speak volumes.

"What's wrong?"

"You're faking it, aren't you?" Tang Yan said. "Trying to get Director Bai's attention? Let me tell you, Director Bai is a standard clinical doctor by training. He was already a professor leading a research group back then. Because the Medical Affairs Department had too many medical disputes, the head of neurosurgery became the head of our hospital, so they transferred him to the Medical Affairs Department."

Ji Xiang looked up at Tang Yan as she listened to her recount Bai's past.

This guy is interesting.

"Director Bai explained it clearly; he wanted you to see the circumcision procedure. I heard you're good at circumcision?"

Tang Yan lowered her voice and asked.

"It's alright, I can do it."

"Hehe, show off your skills during the competition." Tang Yan's face was already showing excitement. "This is a plot from TV dramas, and it's written like this in novels too. It'll scare Director Bai's glasses off!"

Ji Xiang smiled.

He wasn't interested in that.

"Show off when you should. What's that saying again? 'My son has just come of age, yet he remains hidden away, unknown to the world.'"

"To be chosen to serve the king?" Ji Xiang tilted his head slightly, looking at Tang Yan. "That's not a good analogy. Let's find another one."

"Oh, that's exactly what I mean. Just understand. Don't be so dramatic. I heard that Director Bai is really good at resolving medical disputes. He resolved over a hundred difficult medical disputes that had been piling up since he went to the Medical Affairs Department."

"sharp."

"Many directors want to curry favor with Director Bai, but they can't."

Why?

"Think about it, which family doesn't have medical disputes? Take your urology department, for example. When Director Liu was learning to perform partial nephrectomy a few years ago, every time there was bleeding, Director Bai would smooth things over."

Ji Xiang thought about it and realized that it made sense.

When the system NPC was teaching me how to perform surgery, it also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the importance of the medical office.

Any doctor, as long as the number of surgeries is large enough, even a circumcision can cause problems.

Without the medical department's protection, no surgery can be performed.

Immediately, Ji Xiang thought of the patient who couldn't afford laser lithotripsy, and how Director Liu solved the problem with just one phone call.

It seems he has a good relationship with Director Bai.

"Director Zhang, who was seriously ill, wanted to go fishing with Section Chief Bai, but guess what happened?" Tang Yan asked mysteriously.

"Fishing is not easy," Ji Xiang said.

"You understand?" Tang Yan asked, somewhat surprised.

Most anglers are middle-aged or older men; young people spend their time in internet cafes, playing murder mystery games, or going to nightclubs. Who would go fishing?

"Does Director Zhang know how to maneuver a fishing line? Does he know which rod Director Bai loves most? Does he know what kind of cigarettes Director Bai smokes? How much practical information have you prepared on international affairs? How do you flatter Director Bai when he catches a fish? How do you smooth things over when he doesn't bite?"

"..."

Tang Yan was taken aback.

Ji Xiang knows it all.

This doesn't seem like a young man at all; he's clearly an old fox.

"Hey, Dr. Ji, how do you know so much?"

"When I was little, someone wanted to go fishing with my dad and asked me a lot of questions, mostly these, and others."

"..." Tang Yan was momentarily at a loss for words. After a moment's hesitation, she changed the subject, "Have you memorized all the material for the exam?"

"Yes, I've memorized them all," Ji Xiang affirmed.

"How many knots can you tie in a minute?" Tang Yan asked, then mysteriously leaned over and got close to Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang took a step back.

"You're worried I'll take advantage of you? How pathetic. Act like a man." Tang Yan said disdainfully.

"I'm not used to being too close; be careful of respiratory alkalosis." Ji Xiang smiled. "Why do you ask that?"

"I just heard from Dean Zhao's family that he can make more than 130 shots per minute, and he said he's going to break Dean Zhao's record from back then."

As they spoke, a warm breeze blew frequently, carrying a sweet and fragrant scent that intoxicated the senses.

Ji Xiang still thinks it's better to keep a distance.

"I think your surgery went well, and the knot tying was good too. Keep it up!" Tang Yan was as energetic as a husky that had been cooped up at home for three days.

"You don't like him?"

"My head nurse introduced me to a guy the day before yesterday and praised him a lot, so I can't stand him," Tang Yan said.

This reason is somewhat absurd.

"No, no, it's not that serious." Ji Xiang waved his hand. "We surgeons value a calm mindset, even during emergency situations. It's just a competition; there's no need for any ulterior motives."

"Externally strengthen muscles, bones, and skin; internally strengthen esophageal smooth muscles?"

Tang Yan laughed after she finished speaking, her face turning slightly red.

Ji Xiang felt there was something wrong with the statement, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find the problem.

This girl speaks and drives better than I do, and there are even some jokes she uses that I don't understand.

"I have a feeling you're making a suggestive joke," Ji Xiang asked seriously. "Tell me, what do you mean?"

"Hahaha." Tang Yan laughed and turned around. "We nurses have it much worse than you. We're not even allowed to leave the night shift and they insist on making us study. I've been using too many skincare products lately, so going to work at the hospital is just a waste of money."

Seeing that Tang Yan had turned away, Ji Xiang continued reading his book.

Upon arrival at the First Affiliated Hospital, staff members arranged the competition process.

First, a written test was conducted, followed by a practical test, which was simple and even somewhat rudimentary.

The process is relatively simple. Some hospitals take it seriously, while others just go through the motions to show their support.

The home field definitely has an advantage in such a "small" competition. For example, the judges are mostly professors from the First Affiliated Hospital.

Ji Xiang was somewhat distressed.

The judges are all their people, why would I even think about getting a ranking?

Basically impossible.

But what about the mission?

Ji Xiang glanced at the system panel in the upper right corner of his field of vision, slightly puzzled.

Oh well, the system NPCs have already given me plenty of backdoors. If I don't do one task well, so be it.

It's a pity about this mission. I was looking forward to getting the highest reward, but in the end it seems I got nothing.

Ji Xiang was only slightly disappointed, but he didn't dwell on it.

Preparing for the written exam, Ji Xiang glanced at the "gaze of the senior doctor," and he refused to believe that he could lose to those newbies in tying knots.

If all else fails...

Ji Xiang considered using his skills, but after some thought, he realized that with seven or eight expert judges, it was hard to say whether he would even break even if they "watched" one after another.

"Never mind," Ji Xiang sighed.

Moreover, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, was he really going to give the provincial capital's expert team a good dressing down in front of a hundred or so people? The system NPC wasn't as good-tempered when he was younger, and if he really said something offensive, Ji Xiang would feel very embarrassed.

"If the mission can't be completed, so be it. It doesn't matter," Ji Xiang comforted himself.

"Ji Xiang!"

Just as Ji Xiang was about to enter the examination room, Director Bai suddenly appeared and waved to him.

"Director Bai."

"Come out for a moment," Director Bai said after calling Ji Xiang out. "Dr. Ji, the hospital has assigned you an important task."

"Huh?" Ji Xiang was taken aback.

"You don't need to participate in the doctors' competition; go participate in the nurses' competition."

"!!!"
