I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

……

"Sweat!"

Surgery is a physical job. One session takes nearly five hours and requires high concentration, which is a huge drain on physical strength and energy.

Some operations take even longer, and many doctors die suddenly every year.

"Heart beat successfully!"

The patient's heart beat again and the extracorporeal circulation stopped. Aki Tomoya blinked hard, and bloodshot was clearly visible on his eyeballs.

After further observation and confirmation that there are no problems, the chest can be closed.

"Start closing your chest, leave this to me."

Yoshida Aoba took over the final finishing work.

An Yilun had no objection, and he was indeed gradually feeling a little tired.

After the operation, he felt like a lot of brain cells had died.

After handing the finishing touches over to Yoshida Aoba, Aki Tomoya, who was standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief.

The extracorporeal circulation time alone was more than four hours, and the entire operation lasted nearly five hours, from ten in the morning to three in the afternoon. During this period, Aki Tomoya was always standing in the position of the surgeon, his hands and eyes were moving, but his legs did not move at all.

His legs were really numb, but he was used to it. He had performed surgeries of such length before with Yoshida Aoba.

It is obviously more tiring to be the main surgeon than to be an assistant.

"Good job, Dr. Aki."

Sasaki Ichiru raised his head and looked at Aki Tomoya and said.

The operation was completed successfully, and for the first time, such a relaxed atmosphere appeared in the operating room.

Before, Akitomo was the lead surgeon. Apart from matters concerning the operation, he basically did not say anything extra. People around him also knew the difficulty of the operation and would not disturb him.

Now that the operation is finally over, everyone is relieved.

Chapter 491 A Bit Thick (4/4)

"As expected, it's a surgery I'm the lead surgeon for, so the concentration is different. But with this much concentration, you'll realize how hard it is after a while."

In the locker room, Yoshida Aoba patted Aki Tomoya on the shoulder from behind.

As for the family members, Mrs. Omi's child passed away after learning that the operation was successful, and Mrs. Omi was also sent to the ICU for observation.

"Can I take this afternoon off?"

Aki Tomoya turned around and asked Yoshida Aoba.

Whether it was because it was his first time operating or because of the difficulty of the operation, he had to stay highly focused.

But fortunately, the operation was completed successfully.

The first operation performed by the surgeon was successful, and Tomoya Aki was in a particularly good mood.

"No."

Yoshida Aoba's answer did not surprise Aki Tomoya.

But when they return to the department, except for important matters, they don’t have to work too hard.

"Conservative treatment will be needed in the future. We need to be careful about the occurrence of pulmonary edema and acute renal failure. We need to ask the ICU to pay attention to this."

"Dr. Yoshida really knows how to order people around."

"Just go if I tell you to. Don't say I didn't warn you then. It's okay to be conservative. After Madam Omi is discharged from the hospital, good things will happen. Maybe we don't even have to wait until Madam Omi is discharged from the hospital!"

Yoshida Aoba shook his head and looked at Aki Tomoya with a smile.

Even without Yoshida Aoba saying it explicitly, Aki Tomoya understood what Yoshida Aoba meant.

VIP patients like this will give thank-you gifts to the surgeon.

Those who understand this kind of thing will understand.

However, if Yoshida Aoba hadn't said it, Aki Tomoya would have almost forgotten it.

He didn't care about this matter. Anyway, the money given by Kanto General Hospital every month was not small, and there were various subsidies. He and Sayaka Kudo had no shortage of money in their own piggy bank.

"Dr. Yoshida, is the purpose of being a doctor to receive gifts?"

Aki Tomoya joked.

"In the past, everyone wanted to become a doctor to make money and then pay back the debt. After all, if you fail to get into a national university or a public university, you will be in debt after graduation."

There are indeed many people who want to become doctors because they can make money and have a high enough social status.

Patients will give thank-you gifts or something, this has always been the case. Ordinary patients will sometimes give gifts, and VIP patients are all very generous.

"Doctor Aki, please write a paper about this surgery. This paper will be more valuable than the project you and Professor Yano are working on."

At this time, Sasaki Ichiru came over and gave him a suggestion.

Compared to having the surgery listed under Professor Yano's name at the graduate school and following the research topic, it would be faster to publish the paper under his name.

"That's right. You should pay more attention to Mrs. Omi from now on. You have to cherish the paper you have finally been able to write and publish."

When I was working in a university hospital, it was common to write well-written papers but not be able to publish them.

And since Tomoya Aki was so successful as the lead surgeon this time, he should naturally be put to good use.

"I will. I'll trouble you, Dr. Yoshida, to check it for me when the time comes."

Aki Tomoya nodded, this was certainly what he intended.

You can also ask Professor Yano for help when the time comes.

It wouldn't take him much time to get a master's degree, but the key was the doctorate degree.

There won't be any problems if you follow Professor Yano's research here.

However, he also needs to come up with something in his own field of cardiac surgery.

……

On the sixth day after the operation, Mrs. Omi's tracheal tube was removed, and on the eighth day she was transferred out of the ICU and arranged for rehabilitation treatment in an independent ward.

After performing an operation, Aki Tomoya felt that he had been elevated.

Although he was not scheduled for another surgery after that one, according to Yoshida Aoba, he currently has to select each surgery beforehand, otherwise it would not be so easy.

You know, there are surgeries in the department every day, and they are all queued at the back.

"Anyi, what is that?"

Majima noticed that someone had taken the empty seat next to him again, and when he turned around, he saw Aki Tomoya holding a thickly wrapped envelope, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

At this time, Tomoya Aki was in a rather delicate mood. He looked at Majima with a helpless smile, and the expression on his face made Majima at a loss for words.

"I just came back from Mrs. Omi's hospital room."

He had just examined Mrs. Omi in the morning, but in the afternoon he was called over again for some unknown reason.

As a result, he saw Mrs. Omi's son and his assistant waiting for him in the ward. Yoshida Aoba was also there, having arrived earlier than him.

Then he had a gift in his hand that was as thick as a brick.

When he held it in his hand, his first impression was: "This is too thick!"

"Oh!"

Majima nodded meaningfully, and then there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Aki Tomoya didn't pretend to be noble. He just took what he needed to take. Whether it had any impact or not, he would find time to let Kudo Sayaka deposit it.

"You're not on duty tonight, are you willing to give me a favor?"

"Ginza?"

"It's still Kabukicho!"

Chapter 492 Leisure and Elegance (1/4)

"An Yi, how much did you get as a thank you gift?"

Inside the izakaya, Majima raised a half-cup of sake and toasted Aki Tomoya.

Recalling the thick package that Tomoya Aki gave me in the afternoon, this VIP patient should be the type who is generous.

"3 million yen, maybe."

Aki Tomoya took a sip of his wine glass and replied casually.

He didn't know if it was a lot, but one day's salary was several months' salary plus benefits.

Moreover, Yoshida Aoba got more than him. It turns out that there is still a gap between people.

"I never thought you would be curious about this kind of thing!"

Aki Tomoya looked at him with amusement.

Majima responded bluntly, "We made so much money today, and you only invited me to a place like this?"

If he didn't know what kind of person the other person was, he would have really thought that the other person wanted to go to places like Ginza or Kabukicho to find a mama-san.

Amano Tomoya couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You chose the place."

Neither he nor Majima actually had any interest in that kind of place. What was there to experience in a bubble bath? They were gentlemen!

"Speaking of this, I really miss that guy Gao Mu. If he were still here at this moment, he would definitely kill you without hesitation... Come to think of it, his wedding date is coming soon."

If Takagi were here, he would definitely clamor for them to go somewhere to enjoy themselves instead of just leisurely sipping wine here, and they should have some fun.

He should be the most noisy and fun-loving person.

However, this noisy person got married earlier than anyone else among them.

Having started a family and a career, Takagi is about to reach the pinnacle of his life?

However, I guess in that guy's eyes, when he returns to Tokyo, he will have truly reached the fixed point in his life.

"It will be soon. It won't be long. Tsk, it should be your turn next, right?"

As he spoke, Aki Tomoya touched Majima's arm.

Signaling to the other party that it is almost time to take action.

"It's hard to say. Even though we've been together for so long, marriage is still a long way off for us."

"Really? You actually think so?"

Mashima's statement surprised Aki Tomoya.

In his opinion, Majima should be the kind of person who can look at the long-term, including things between men and women.

However, it now seems that he himself does not have too many thoughts about such things, as if he intends to let nature take its course.

"That means you don't know me well enough, Amaki. In fact, including when I took the entrance exam for the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, I have always been following the path set by my father. This is how I differ from Takagi-kun."

Majima shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He was actually following the plan step by step, just doing whatever his parents had arranged.

As for the so-called rebellious psychology, he never had it in his heart, and everything felt natural.

His father and grandfather are both professors, so he must inherit the tradition.

Takagi still has a somewhat rebellious mentality. Even if he agrees to live as a doctor and inherit the family hospital, he at least wants to do things his own way.

"You have a good brain, but you think less than anyone else."

An Yilun couldn't help but sigh.

In his opinion, Majima really is a person who is easily satisfied.

At least this guy is definitely not a greedy person. What belongs to him is his, and what does not belong to him, there is no need to snatch it.

At the same time, he was somewhat envious of Majima, who only needed to follow the steps and then could smoothly consolidate his class.

If a person who has nothing wants to jump into Japan, a city with rigid class structure, then it would be best for him to be admitted to the University of Tokyo, marry into the wife's family, or go to the First Liberal Arts School or the Third Science School.

Tomoya Aki's situation is considered good. Think about it, since he can rely on himself, he doesn't necessarily have to rely on others. Everyone has his own pride, or something called dignity, in his heart.
