Chapter 715 - Could It Be Him?

Chapter 715: Could It Be Him?

“What do you mean?” Chief Sui asked.
“Chief Wu said that Mu Tao doesn’t have the ability to perform nearly 200 surgeries in two to three days.” Chief Li was a little distressed. “But besides Mu Tao, I haven’t heard of anyone else who’s involved in the surgery.”
“Let me ask. These radiographic films are not ordinary,” Chief Li of the orthopedics department said.
“You guys go ahead then. I don’t really believe it.” The emergency department chief said goodbye and turned to leave.
There were a lot of things to do in the emergency department. He was always worried when he was not around. Although Chief Sui was very curious about what was going on, but… Nevermind. There would be a day when he would find out about it so he was not in a hurry.
“Hello, Director Lin? I’m Li Jianshan from Huaxi. Well, I have something to ask you. In your hospital, who has been conducting surgery recently? I know there’s Mu Tao but is there anyone else? Hmm? There’s someone from the Imperial Capital Hospital? How old is he? Okay, I got it. That’s all I needed to know. I’m busy so I’ll hang up now.”
After saying that, Chief Li hung up the phone.
“The Imperial Capital’s Chief Kong? I met Chief Kong a few years ago. His standard is indeed high,” Chief Sui said.
“No.” Chief Li frowned and continued, “They told me that two junior doctors who are younger than 30 years old came from the frontline.”
“Less than 30 years old? That’s impossible!”
“Yes, I also think it’s impossible,” Chief Li said. “At this age, most doctors wouldn’t have even graduated yet. Even if he just graduated…”
He thought of countless possibilities but in the end, he could not make sense of it.
Suddenly, a thought appeared in Chief Li’s mind—could it be him?
Seeing that Chief Li’s expression was a little strange, Chief Sui asked, “Do you know who it is? Hurry up and tell me. I’m still waiting for the surgery.”
“A few months ago, we selected experts from all over the country for organ interventional surgery and launched a new technique for prostate interventional embolization. You know about this, right?”
“I don’t. How is this relevant?” Chief Sui was very impatient.
Indeed, after working for a few days and nights, Chief Sui did not want to hear about it even if there was a big scandal then. The only thing he wanted to do was to hurry up and treat all the injured people. After the earthquake relief was over, he would go home and have a good night’s sleep. No one would be able to wake him up.
Chief Li’s words were a little blunt but Chief Sui’s expression remained unchanging.
“I originally thought that this tactic would be handed over to Mu Tao. After all, among the younger generation, his level was the highest. However, I heard that in the end, it was handed over to a junior doctor from the Dibei Province…”
“Dibei Province. Are there any influential figures involved in that place?”
“Yes, I’m curious too. But if there’s a possibility, then I only know one person,” Chief Li said.
After he said that, his expression was a little strange. He whispered, “I heard recently that this junior doctor has been recommended as a candidate for the Nobel Prize.”
Chief Sui was surprised. “That’s impossible. It’s the Nobel Prize. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’m not talking nonsense. I’ve seen the list of candidates for the Nobel Prize. It’s a new surgical method for TIPS surgery. I was thinking of finding time to understand it with Department Chief Kong.”
“Don’t worry about it. Hurry up and get to the surgery. Old Li, you know what the radiographic films are trying to convey, right?”
“I have a rough idea. I’m not very clear about a few details,” Chief Li frowned as he said truthfully.
This time was different from the past.
He was used to things being vague and there was usually plenty of time to study it carefully. But now, there were a large number of injured people waiting to be treated outside. Who had the time to wait for one to study and understand it right now?
Moreover, amputation surgery did not take long.
A small mistake could cause all the efforts of the frontline doctors to be wasted.
As a local doctor, he was very grateful to the doctors who came to support him. Now, no one complained about the medical conditions and environment. Everyone was thinking about the same thing—earthquake relief.
Chief Li pondered and said in a low voice, “Old Lu, you can go and prepare everything first. I’ll make a call.”
“Hey, can you do it?”
“In the entire hospital, I have the highest level of skill for vascular intervention. If I can’t do it, then do you think you can!” Chief Li was also very impatient and directly retorted.
There was nothing more to say. Everyone was very tired and full of anger.
Because of this, Chief Sui went on stage again and arranged for the patient who had been transferred from Pengxi Village to go on stage for Chief Li after the thrombectomy.
Chief Li did not return to the interventional surgery room. All the operating rooms there were full as everyone was performing surgeries.
He stood in the corridor and started to look through the phone number book.
“Strange, what’s the name of the interventional surgery chief in Pengxi Village Hospital… ?” Chief Li mumbled as he scrolled through his phone contacts.
After a few minutes, Chief Li came to a sudden realization and slapped his thigh.
Pengxi Village Hospital did not have an interventional surgery department for blood vessels and organs. They only performed interventional surgery for coronary heart disease. Therefore, the label of their chief should be ‘circulation’.
He immediately typed in the name and a name appeared in front of him—Circulation Jiang (Pengxi Village Hospital).
It was him! Chief Li also left Chief Jiang’s phone number by coincidence. It was very difficult for a doctor from a township-level hospital to be known by Huaxi’s director.
“Hello, Is this Pengxi Village Hospital’s Chief Jiang?”
A chaotic voice came from the other side of the phone. Chief Jiang almost shouted, “Take the embolic catheter and put it on that side. Don’t put it in the storeroom! You, hurry up!”
Uh… Chief Li did not expect the other side to be so busy.
Chief Jiang’s shouts kept coming from the phone. The other side was as busy as a bubbling pot of porridge.
After nearly 30 seconds, Chief Jiang asked, “Who is it?”
“Uh…” Chief Li was speechless. It turned out that the other side had not heard what he had said earlier.
He hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, a beeping sound came from the phone.
F*ck! He had actually hung up the phone!
Was there any justice in this? Forget about calling a doctor in Pengxi Village, these phone calls were usually made the other way around, let alone the fact that the other had hung up on him.
The blood vessels on Chief Li’s forehead were popping out.
Really…
After calming down, Chief Li took two deep breaths before he regained his composure. It must be because he was too busy that he did not check that it was his phone number.
He dialed the number again.
“Hello, who is this?” Chief Jiang was still busy on the other end of the line. He probably did not even have time to look at the caller ID. The voice was a little strange. It was probably because he was holding the phone to his ear and talking as he worked.
“Hurry up and apply pressure. Send the next patient who needs to be embolized in. Doctor Zheng, what type of embolized catheter do you want?”
Another chaotic voice was heard.
Dr. Zheng? When Chief Li heard this name, he was stunned for a moment and immediately began to recall it in his mind.
Dibei Province, Sea City, Zheng Ren. He recognized that this was the person who had gained recognition for his new surgical method. Moreover, he had recently been recommended as a candidate for the Nobel Prize.
It was him!
But why was his level so high? That should not have been the case.
Chief Li couldn’t help but be distracted.
However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by a long beep coming from his phone. Chief Jiang did not hear anything on the other side and hung up the phone again without hesitation.
