Chapter 181: The Surgery Was Done So Quickly (League Leader Fei Hao Meng De Bonus Chapter)

When Ling Tian changed his clothes, he saw Ji Xiang's muscular physique, his eight-pack abs looking as if they were carved, and he felt a bit of envy in his heart.

A healthy body is one's capital; regardless of when Ji Xiang might need to avoid radiation to have children, at least for now, he can hold the front line for a while.

Moreover, to reach the peak the moment one debuts is something even Ling Tian envies greatly.

But jealousy is definitely not the word; Ling Tian considers himself to have the magnanimity of a Senior Brother.

"Xiao Ji."

"Teacher Ling, please speak."

"The Boss went to great lengths for your sake." Ling Tian was particularly solemn, his brows and the corners of his eyes twitching, an intense sharpness radiating from him. "For this academic conference, the Boss has invited Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Teng."

"The Chinese Academy of Sciences? Not the Chinese Academy of Engineering?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Yes," Ling Tian nodded.

Doctors who are elected as Academicians are generally from the Chinese Academy of Engineering; that is already the highest level of existence for a doctor.

The mention of an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences by Ling Tian made Ji Xiang very concerned.

"Academician Teng rarely leaves Jinling; the Boss put a lot of thought into this as well." Only now did Ling Tian bring this matter up.

Ji Xiang nodded cautiously.

He understood Qin Lao's intentions, and it wasn't because he had the System that he looked down on the heroes of the world. Liu Zhuren was right; the world of medicine isn't just about fighting and killing, it is more about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Finding a teacher is like adding wings to a tiger for him.

Ji Xiang thought this through very thoroughly, yet he always felt that the sense of excitement wasn't that strong; even hearing that the only Academician in the field of interventional medicine, Academician Teng, would be attending this conference, he remained very calm.

It was likely due to the System Operating Room; with such a massive cheat enabled, would he still care about these things?

Ling Tian felt that Ji Xiang didn't understand the importance of an Academician in the discipline, so he smiled. "The Boss has put in a lot of painstaking effort, so you must perform well. Whatever you do, don't let the Boss's hard work go to waste!"

"I know, Teacher Ling." Ji Xiang nodded cautiously.

"Your body is in good shape; do you work out regularly?"

"If I'm not on night shift and have nothing else going on, I run a half-marathon every morning," Ji Xiang said.

"Good, good, good." Ling Tian said "good" three times in one breath; he felt that Ji Xiang was the Closed-door disciple tailor-made for the Boss.

The Interventional Department of the Hepatobiliary Hospital has a high volume of surgeries, but its status in the field isn't very high; this time, the Boss has exerted ten-tenths of his effort, preparing to make a change.

However, pinning his hopes on such a young lad...

Ling Tian glanced at Ji Xiang, who had already changed his clothes, put on a sterile cap, and was tying his mask straps.

"Xiao Ji, let's go take a look at the surgeries." Ling Tian led Ji Xiang into the operating area.

Although it was already afternoon, every Operating Room had a surgery in progress; the 【In Surgery】 lights were so dazzling.

"A hundred or so surgeries a day," Ling Tian smiled. "The surgical volume is huge, number one in the country."

Zhao Zhe's eyes went wide; in a row of twelve Operating Rooms, the faint humming of machines penetrated the Airtight Lead Door, and that sense of sanctity of the hospital welled up spontaneously.

Not only that, but there were also three gurneys in the hallway, with Doctors pressing down to stop bleeding.

They were chatting with the Patient while keeping an eye on the time.

Soon, a Patient was brought in, sitting on a round stool at the entrance, waiting blankly.

As the door to an Operating Room opened, a gurney was pushed out, and a Nurse led the Patient inside.

The Patient on the gurney was still having a Pressure Bandage applied; Ji Xiang guessed this was because the volume of Patients was high, and they were trying to maximize turnover. Pushing the Patient out to apply the Pressure Bandage could save 10-15 minutes.

The department was like a machine, running smoothly.

"These surgeries are being done so many and so fast," Zhao Zhe said in surprise.

Even as a chatterbox, he was cautious and careful at a superior hospital, and his habit of talking incessantly was cured without treatment.

"Heh heh." Ling Tian gave a faint smile.

It was perfectly normal for a doctor from a small place to be deeply shocked by this scene.

Their annual surgical volume might not even be as large as the volume here in a single day.

"So amazing," Ji Xiang remarked.

"Come to the operation room and take a look." Ling Tian led Ji Xiang and Zhao Zhe into the operation room at the very end, Operating Room 8.

"This is the Boss's private one; at 2 PM, you and the Boss will go on stage," Ling Tian introduced as they walked.

Entering the operation room, the professional equipment was refreshing; Zhao Zhe looked like he wanted to touch the top-tier DSA equipment, just like a child who had never had candy.

But he didn't move, only swallowing his saliva repeatedly.

"Look, this is the Siemens fully digital large flat-panel FD20—1125mA Digital Subtraction Angiography machine I told you about," Ling Tian said.

The technician just squinted at Ling Tian; the surgery was in progress, so he didn't say much.

Ji Xiang stood behind the technician, silently watching the screen and the control panel.

A Catheter was placed at the edge of the Hepatic Artery, and medication was being administered.

The Angiography showed a Tumor in the left lobe of the liver and another in the right lobe, then the surgeon called for the Nurse to prepare the medicine, administered it with a high-pressure Syringe, withdrew the Catheter, and the surgery was over.

The few minutes it took left Ji Xiang stunned.

Just administering the medicine directly?

Why wasn't an Embolization performed?

Ling Tian, however, was accustomed to it and said to Ji Xiang, "There's still over an hour; I'll take you to the Duty Room next door to rest for a bit. You must keep your Spirit up; the Boss doesn't just take anyone into surgery casually these days."

"Teacher Ling."

"Hmm?"

"..." Ji Xiang had many questions, but he didn't voice them.

He remained silent, turned around, and followed behind Ling Tian.

Ling Tian believed that Ji Xiang was deeply shocked, which was also the purpose of taking Ji Xiang to tour the operating area.

"Top-tier equipment is only a match for a top-tier surgeon," Ling Tian said. "Because the operation process is mostly the same, the new fully digital large flat-panel DSA system is just a bit clearer; there's nothing special I need to remind you about."

Ji Xiang remained silent.

He vaguely guessed why he had been feeling somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

So that was how it was; this was how a fifteen-minute surgery was completed.

Ji Xiang did not ask Ling Tian directly; this matter was of great importance, and he prepared to go to the System Operating Room to consult the System NPC first.

Zhao Zhe also said nothing, following behind Ji Xiang and Ling Tian to the Duty Room with a head full of questions.

"The Head Nurse has changed the bed sheets and quilt cover, make do and rest for a while," Ling Tian said. "I won't disturb you; I'll come find you at 1:45."

"Alright, thank you, Teacher Ling."

"By the way, one thing to remind you: no smoking, the boss doesn't like it."

"Okay." Ji Xiang saw Ling Tian off and lay straight down on the bed.

"Teacher Xiao Ji, why do I feel like the surgery done here has problems?" Zhao Zhe said, puzzled.

However, although he called him Teacher Xiao Ji, it was likely more of a ritualistic gesture, and Zhao Zhe did not wait for Ji Xiang's answer.

"Liver Cancer has no first-line Chemotherapy drugs; that's what I understood from a few years ago, I don't know if it has changed now. Why only inject drugs for Perfusion Chemotherapy without doing Embolization? Why is that? It's not right; could it be some high-end surgical procedure?"
