Chapter 237: The Silly Roe Deer

Let them go seek their own deaths.

Ji Xiang did not quite agree with this statement.

"Liu Zhuren, Expert Lu, he..."

"Expert Lu, haha, it's the first time someone has called him that. He went to the Medical Affairs Department; fortunately, he met Bai Chuzhang." Liu Zhuren guessed what Ji Xiang was going to say and explained, "Now Old Lu is in charge of in-hospital consultations. It can be considered that Bai Chuzhang knows how to use people well and hasn't buried Old Lu's skills."

So that was it; Ji Xiang thought of the refined and easygoing Bai Chuzhang.

He had no complaints about Bai Chuzhang, even when Bai Chuzhang kicked him into the Nurse group to participate in the competition during the grand contest.

According to Liu Zhuren's description, this Bai Chuzhang was truly a talent scout.

"Not to mention, this position can satisfy Old Lu's passion for Clinical work, and there are no other damn things to deal with. Especially when encountering some rare diseases, he likes to show off... just like today." Liu Zhuren said with a smile, "I really didn't know what Giant Hydronephrosis was. If someone else had said this disease name, I definitely wouldn't have believed it, but I believe it because Old Lu said it."

"No matter how unreliable it is." Liu Zhuren added, emphasizing his tone after finishing.

Ji Xiang said, "Zhuren, this disease seems to really exist."

"Oh?"

"I heard my Attending Teacher mention it once during my internship," Ji Xiang said vaguely.

"Have you performed the surgery?" Liu Zhuren asked.

"I have."

Speaking of surgery, Ji Xiang immediately became interested.

"During the surgery, there are many difficulties. Due to factors such as the large volume of the Kidney, changes in anatomical relationships, repeated chronic infections, and a history of previous surgeries, the operation time increases."

"Moreover, the anatomical structure is also different from the normal local anatomical structure."

Ji Xiang had just gained some insights into the surgery and spoke eloquently. Liu Zhuren listened carefully, and when he encountered points he didn't understand, he asked directly.

Dialogue is something that requires a worthy opponent.

Ji Xiang had not yet reached the level of a System NPC, so he and Liu Zhuren chatted quite happily.

The two went straight into the office of the Zhuren, and Ji Xiang began to draw sketches to explain some of the characteristics of the surgery.

In the System Operating Room, the condition of every Simulated Human is somewhat different; it is never exactly the same.

Ji Xiang had seen many kinds of abnormal situations, so he spoke in great detail.

Liu Zhuren originally just wanted to chat with Ji Xiang to build a relationship, but he didn't expect Ji Xiang to really have the goods.

Not only did he have goods, but he had big goods!

The longer they talked, the more focused they became. Liu Zhuren couldn't figure out where Ji Xiang got so much Clinical experience.

The ringing of the phone interrupted the conversation between Liu Zhuren and Ji Xiang. Liu Zhuren glanced at his phone; it was almost time to get off work.

"Liu Zhuren, we explained the condition to the Patient, but they don't agree to go to a higher-level hospital," the Vascular Surgery Department Zhuren said.

Liu Zhuren quickly realized that the other party wanted to transfer the Patient over.

Now the Patient's situation was no longer just about Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis; it involved removing an organ, so they definitely had to transfer departments first.

If it were in the past, Liu Zhuren certainly wouldn't have easily taken on such a big trouble. At the very least, he would have pushed it away twice before saying anything, and if it really had to be transferred over in the end, it would have required Bai Chuzhang from the Medical Affairs Department to speak up.

But today is different from the past.

After listening to Ji Xiang's account, Liu Zhuren developed a strong interest in this case he had only seen once; his appetite was whetted, and he couldn't wait to perform the emergency surgery immediately.

"Is there a difficulty in the Patient's family?" Liu Zhuren asked, following the other side's words.

"Yes, going to the Imperial Capital costs a lot of money for food and lodging; it won't be less than 100,000 or 80,000. The Patient's family has average financial conditions and can't bear it."

"Alright then, you first explain it to the Patient and the Family Member. I can try Laparoscopic Surgery. But let's be clear first: if it doesn't work, we'll have to perform a major open surgery. If they both agree, then transfer them over." Although Liu Zhuren was itching to perform the surgery, his words were still very rigorous.

"Got it!"

The other side didn't expect Liu Zhuren to agree so readily, and for a moment, they were in a great mood.

Hanging up the phone, Liu Zhuren looked at Ji Xiang with a smile, "Xiao Ji, are you confident in the surgery?"

"Eighty percent." Ji Xiang gave a definitive answer.

"Alright then, I'll go explain the condition, you go rest first," Liu Zhuren said.

Ji Xiang bowed and then left Liu Zhuren's office.

"Ding-dong~"

The sound of a task came.

【System Task: Surgery with Changed Anatomical Structure.

Task Content: Complete one Laparoscopic Nephrectomy.

Task Time: 5 days.

Task Reward: 5000 Experience Points, 5 Surgical Points.】

Oh, there's actually a task.

Ji Xiang looked at the task happily and changed his clothes to prepare to go home.

There are countless procedures before surgery, such as transferring the Patient to another department, preoperative explanations, and various signatures.

There are at least 3-5 days until the surgery; the time limit for the System Task has already been stated clearly.

Even if I have to exhaust all my Surgical Points tonight, I must learn this surgery, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

Riding his bike home, Ji Xiang felt something was different as soon as he entered the house.

The old man was sitting on a recliner, looking at the sky and drinking tea, with a large dog half the height of a person crouching beside him.

Uh...

Ji Yongchang had never liked pets, so there were only Ji Xiang and Ji Yongchang in the house.

"Dad, who is it?" Ji Xiang asked.

"I don't know."

"!!!" Ji Xiang was speechless, looking at his old man.

"I went to buy groceries today and saw this guy following a meat vendor at the market. They said if I had it slaughtered on the spot, it would only be 260."

"Oh?"

"It seemed to know I could save it; it kept crying at me and whimpering." Ji Yongchang reached out his hand, and the big dog obediently nudged its head under Ji Yongchang's hand.

A sense of the humbleness of a dog under the eaves, having no choice but to bow its head, welled up spontaneously.

"It looks like a show-quality dog to me. I didn't know whose it was that lost it, so I spent 220 to buy it back."

"So cheap..." Ji Xiang changed his shoes and glanced at the dog.

"It's alright. I took it to get a bath and came back without buying groceries," Ji Yongchang said. "We'll have takeout for dinner."

"Too much oil, too much salt."

"You give it a name," Ji Yongchang said.

"Dad, that's a bit much." Ji Xiang curiously reached out to pet the dog's head. The dog seemed to know Ji Xiang was family, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail at him.

"I'm not good at naming things. You can call it whatever."

"Then let's call it Kidney."

Ji Xiang performed Kidney Resection every day and had already formed a habit of "cutting kidneys," so he said it offhandedly.

"Be serious." Ji Yongchang raised his eyelids and glanced at Ji Xiang. "What kind of name for a proper dog is Kidney? If it really becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and it gets its kidneys cut out one day, I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable when you think of it later."

"It's not like I'd call it Ji Xiang," Ji Xiang grumbled.

"Let's call it Sha Paozi."

"Dad, you really are bad at naming things. Calling it Sofa or Bench would be fine, why call it Sha Paozi? I was just grumbling earlier, didn't you hear?"

The father and son argued for a long time, but in the end, they decided to call it Sha Paozi.
