Chapter 200: Face, You Only Have One, So Don't Waste It (Alliance Leader Deng Chaohong)

"Since Doctor Qin Chu and Doctor Ling Tian have opinions on this research, I will say a few words." Ji Xiang took the microphone, didn't even look at Ling Tian, treated him like a dead man, and said in a loud voice.

With a sweep of his gaze, every doctor in the room, except for Qin Chu and Academician Teng, was as silent as a cicada in winter.

Ji Xiang was also somewhat surprised.

The expression on every doctor's face was telling him that 【Superior Doctor's Gaze】 had taken effect.

Is the upgraded version of the skill a group skill?

Ji Xiang only thought this far; whether it was a group skill no longer mattered.

At this moment, all the negative emotions accumulated by Empathy burst forth.

You, of all people, have the face to point out right and wrong in surgery?

You, of all people, doing one surgery every 15 minutes, have the face to stand here!

Ji Xiang's expression gradually turned cold as he surveyed the venue.

Even in front of the head of the Interventional Department, Academician Teng, Ji Xiang still appeared like a king descending.

The whole room was dumbfounded; only Qian Ying was excited and wanted to applaud, but her hand was tightly held by Ji Yongchang.

"First, regarding the issue of necessity mentioned by Doctor Ling, let us first look at it from the field of Urology Department."

"Regarding..."

Ji Xiang turned back and saw that the projection was still the one Ling Tian had used, and he frowned slightly.

"Zhao..." Ji Xiang was just about to call Zhao Zhe to bring up the laptop, but he happened to see Zhao Zhe sneaking away, hunched over.

Really, Ji Xiang was speechless and let out a deep sigh.

"Zhao Zhe, bring the laptop over," Ji Xiang said.

Zhao Zhe's body stiffened, his expression unusually solemn; he seemed to have forgotten the previous awkwardness as he hugged the laptop and trotted over to Ji Xiang.

"Do you know how to work it?" Ji Xiang asked out of "habit."

"Yes, yes, yes," Zhao Zhe nodded repeatedly, and after saying that, he went to find the Engineer to play the PPT.

Soon, the data that Ji Xiang and Zhao Zhe had worked on for a long time appeared on the screen.

"Let's take partial Kidney Resection in the Urology Department as an example first." Ji Xiang reached out, and Ling Tian, like a puppet, handed the Laser pointer to Ji Xiang.

Seeing Ling Tian in this state, Qin Chu's nose was almost crooked with anger.

Is this still his top disciple? Is this still the proud and aloof Ling Tian!

"According to the data, the probability of re-bleeding 1-3 months after partial Kidney Resection is 4.562%, so the latest version of the Urology Department guidelines has already moved interventional..."

Ji Xiang spoke eloquently, completely lacking the awkwardness of a young doctor, not stage-frightened at all, and performing with ease.

But the only ones who felt surprised were Ji Xiang's parents, Teng, and Qin Chu.

Others, under the influence of the group 【Superior Doctor's Gaze】, sat upright, listening carefully to Ji Xiang's lecture as if they were junior doctors.

As the PPT pages turned one by one, Ji Xiang was just lecturing according to the slides he and Zhao Zhe had made, but to Qin Chu's ears, it sounded like he was refuting every point Ling Tian had made.

At this time, Ling Tian should have stood up, but the usually shrewd and capable Ling Tian had turned into a different person.

His legs looked as if they had been grabbed and twisted by invisible hands, turning into a twist, and he stood not far from Ji Xiang in a strange and cautious posture.

Qin Chu felt that Ling Tian was more respectful to Ji Xiang than to him.

What the hell!

If he didn't know the background, Qin Chu would even suspect that this was a trap set by Ji Xiang just to spite him.

Thinking of this, Qin Chu suddenly paused.

Ji Xiang couldn't do it; no matter how good his surgery was, he wouldn't have such high status in the field, and he couldn't command the directors from various cities behind him.

Although Ji Xiang couldn't do it, Academician Teng could!

His own actions were usually criticized, and Qin Chu had taken a fancy to Ji Xiang at first sight, which also included a bit of this concern.

He turned his head, his gaze landing on Academician Teng.

"Teng, you..."

"What he said makes sense," Teng said lightly. "Reasonable and well-founded, and there are over a hundred cases of postoperative patients followed up for more than ten years. Not bad, not bad. There aren't many young people willing to do research in a down-to-earth manner these days."

Hearing Teng say this, Qin Chu felt a chill in his heels.

However, Teng did not say much to Qin Chu, but turned his head and whispered something to Ji Yongchang beside him.

No, this absolutely cannot go on; Qin Chu knew what was written in Ji Xiang's slides.

That content was rigorous and detailed, and more importantly, it had follow-up records of over a hundred patients for more than ten years that no one else had; this was an iron-clad fact.

If he didn't interrupt Ji Xiang again, he was afraid he would take a tumble. Moreover, his reputation in the academic world was not good, and although Academician Teng had come, he didn't care about him at all.

No, he must fight back!

Qin Chu stood up abruptly and said sternly, "What you are talking about is another matter. The Urology Department guidelines state that for postoperative bleeding, one should go directly to the Interventional Department for treatment, but you are confusing the concepts with Preoperative Embolization!"

Ji Xiang's indifferent gaze landed on Qin Chu, and seeing that he was not affected by 【Superior Doctor's Gaze】 at all, he said, "Doctor Qin, that is not what I am talking about."

Calling Qin Chu "Doctor Qin"—this was something that hadn't happened in years. Now, hearing this address from the mouth of a wet-behind-the-ears young man like Ji Xiang made Qin Chu unable to accept it.

Who does he think he is? The Academician Teng beside him, the number one person in domestic interventional medicine, no matter how much he looked down on him, still had to call him Old Qin or Director Qin.

Qin Chu was furious and took a sudden step forward.

"Doctor Qin, how do you manage your junior doctors?" Ji Xiang stopped lecturing, pressed his hands on the podium, and glared at Qin Chu, "Liver Interventional Embolization, fifteen minutes per surgery; are you embarrassed to talk about your surgical volume?"

The air at the scene froze, and even Teng was stunned.

He was very disdainful of the interventional surgeries at Shanghai Hepatobiliary Hospital; this was something everyone in the circle knew, but to rebuke him to his face... and so fiercely...

Teng forgot the words he was halfway through saying to Ji Yongchang and turned to look at Ji Xiang.

"You tell me, how is a 15-minute Liver Interventional Embolization performed! Even I cannot complete it 100% of the time."

"You, Qin Chu, by what right!"

"Are you even a doctor!"

A breath caught in Qin Chu's throat, and he glared angrily at Ji Xiang.

Filled with the shame and rage of having his secrets exposed, Qin Chu stepped forward, wanting to debate Ji Xiang face-to-face.

If Ji Xiang were to seal his fate on this matter, he would never have a chance to turn things around in his entire life.

But just after taking three steps, Qin Chu suddenly stopped.

He opened his eyes, feeling as if he were lying on a hospital bed, with the attending Doctor speaking to him.

Qin Chu had experienced the entire process of Ji Xiang's Empathy, from pre-surgery to during the surgery and then post-surgery. Although to others it had only been a fleeting moment, to Qin Chu it had been six months, twenty-three days, eleven hours, and fifteen minutes.

"You, and you still have the nerve to stand before me and talk about surgery?" Ji Xiang rebuked sharply.

Under the psychological suggestion, Qin Chu had just "died" from multi-organ failure due to late-stage Cancer, and his stable state of mind, built up over many years, had been shaken; suddenly hearing Ji Xiang's reprimand, his spirit wavered.

Countless images appeared before his eyes, and he could not distinguish whether they were illusions or reality.

"You only have one damn face, try not to lose it all at once!"

Qin Chu slightly regained his senses; before he could figure out what had just happened, he was shocked again by Ji Xiang's scolding, and his blood pressure rose instantly.

"A fifteen-minute Embolization Surgery, you're ruining the reputation of our Interventional Surgery! You're ruining the reputation of doctors all over the world!"

"Who on earth gave you the nerve to stand before me and spout such nonsense!"

"Who gave you the courage!"

"Shameless!"

Everything went black before Qin Chu's eyes, his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground limply as if his bones had been pulled out.

Ji Xiang's roar was one reason.

More importantly, the experience of Empathy had caused Qin Chu to fracture; at times he felt he was a big shot in the Interventional Department who dominated Shanghai, and at other times he felt he was a pitiful and helpless Patient.

The two forces tore at each other, and Qin Chu's Spirit was completely exhausted, causing him to pass out.
