Chapter 299: Auspicious Sign (Bonus chapter ×3 for the Alliance Leader seeing my master)

"As for Xiao Ji..." Zhao Zhuren hesitated, "This is a right-angle bend; a COBRA Catheter can get in after shaping, but if it isn't shaped, there's no way it's getting in, Bai Chuzhang."

"I'm not saying Doctor Xiao Ji isn't skilled enough, but we don't have that equipment or those consumables. A clever housewife... sigh."

"Try it; it's better than opening them up directly," Bai Chuzhang glanced at the time and said indifferently.

"I don't think it will work," Zhao Xiangming said firmly.

He was still immersed in whether the surgery could actually be performed, unable to pull himself out.

"Why doesn't Zhao Zhuren provide a solution then?" Bai Chuzhang squinted at Zhao Xiangming and asked coldly.

"..." Zhao Xiangming shut his mouth tight instantly, not daring to let out even a peep.

Zhao Xiangming roughly knew the ins and outs of the matter; there were many such messy situations in the hospital, and the vast majority of the time, the doctor ended up taking the blame.

As for it spreading, it would just be that the doctor lacked medical ethics; no one else would step up to say even a single word of justice.

Bai Chuzhang didn't know how much pressure he had been under to secure this experimental plan; Zhao Xiangming came to his senses and swallowed all his doubts.

However, Zhao Xiangming had a fiery temper and an even thicker skin; he leaned over with a smile, "Bai Chu, Xiao Ji's level is truly high, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Shanghai. Let's try it, I think it'll work."

Bai Chuzhang didn't even look at Zhao Xiangming, his gaze fixed straight ahead, looking through the Lead-lined Glass at the Anesthesia doctor busy inside wearing Lead Clothing.

What a pain in the ass, it's really annoying, Bai Chuzhang thought to himself.

"But Bai Chu, no matter how strong Xiao Ji is, he's still a Standardized Training Doctor; the stronger he is, the less likely he is to stay here in the future," Zhao Xiangming said tentatively.

"My home is in the countryside," Bai Chuzhang looked into the operating room and said indifferently, "There was a swallow's nest on the house beam. Although it was annoying with the feathers falling and the bird droppings every day, my grandfather wouldn't let us chase the swallows away no matter what."

"At home? Not under the eaves?" Zhao Xiangming asked in confusion.

"At home, inside the house. Back then, the cracks in the doors in the countryside were large, so the swallows could fly in even when the doors were locked. My grandfather set up a cover curtain under the swallow's nest specifically to catch the bird droppings."

"Keeping birds in the house? Really?" Zhao Xiangming asked with a smile.

"'Wishing to be the swallows on the beam, meeting every year.' Haven't you heard that? And then, 'You are the swallow on the beam, I am the fan in your hand, circling in green shadows, a pair together.' With so many poems, surely Zhao Zhuren doesn't know none of them?"

"..." Zhao Zhuren was stunned.

"Swallows building a nest in the house is an auspicious sign, something one can only wish for," Bai Chuzhang said indifferently, "No one can control when it flies away, but ever since the swallows were in my house..."

Bai Chuzhang didn't finish his sentence before the door to the operating room was pushed open, "Bai Chuzhang, I'm here."

Ji Xiang's figure, over one meter eighty, appeared at the doorway.

"Xiao Ji is here," Bai Chuzhang said, "The Patient needs an embolization of the Lumbar Transverse Artery; are you confident?"

"I'll try; there's an eighty percent chance it can be done," Ji Xiang answered very calmly.

"Go ahead," Bai Chuzhang didn't stand on ceremony with Ji Xiang, and then said, "Zhao Zhuren, you go and lend a hand."

Zhao Xiangming felt this was somewhat strange, to have him, a "dignified" department head at the Second Affiliated Hospital, go and lend a hand to a Standardized Training Student!

But he didn't refuse; Doctor Xiao Ji's level was indeed high. Besides, for something like lending a hand, he had to step up himself; Ji Xiang didn't have a Practicing Certificate, so he had to be on the table to take the blame.

Moreover, Bai Chuzhang had no precedent for backstabbing, and his reputation was quite good, so Zhao Xiangming had no concerns and didn't feel he would take the blame if the surgery couldn't be completed.

"Xiao Ji, we don't have a suitable COBRA Catheter," Zhao Xiangming said after walking into the operating room.

"Let's try."

"Xiao Ji, you might not have done a similar surgery before; that thing won't go in at all without the right Guide Wire and Catheter."

Ji Xiang didn't speak, glancing at the System Task in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

It was indeed a bit difficult, but it couldn't stump him.

In the System Operating Room, the System NPC had taught Ji Xiang several techniques, and he was confident he could pull off the surgery.

Scrubbing in and stepping up to the table, the drapes had already been laid out, and Ji Xiang began the surgery.

"Letting a Standardized Training Student be the lead surgeon for a Level 4 Surgery? What if something goes wrong!" Zhao Tianjiao was somewhat beyond angry and asked deliberately.

He watched helplessly as Zhao Xiangming couldn't finish the surgery;

He watched as Ji Xiang walked into the operating room and watched as Ji Xiang stood in the position of the surgeon;

He was unconvinced; they were both Standardized Training Students, so why could he at most perform a Clavicle Fracture Internal Fixation Surgery, while Ji Xiang could act as a savior and lead a Level 4 Surgery!

Unfortunately, Zhao Tianjiao's question was ignored.

Everyone present, whether it was Bai Chuzhang or Deng Chaohong, acted as if they hadn't heard him.

Zhao Tianjiao hit a soft nail and felt exceptionally uncomfortable inside.

Relying on his old man, the best he had done in three months was lead a Clavicle Fracture Internal Fixation Surgery.

That was only a Level 2 Surgery; Deng Chaohong looked very relaxed, but Zhao Tianjiao knew Professor Deng was nervous to death inside, his eyes fixed on him without blinking.

When the surgery ended, Professor Deng's back was already soaked through with sweat.

Zhao Tianjiao knew he was walking ahead of everyone else!

However, compared to Ji Xiang, it was completely unwatchable.

He could only perform minor surgeries under Professor Deng's close supervision, while Ji Xiang was called from home in the middle of the night by Bai Chuzhang to perform emergency surgery.

And it was a Level 4 Surgery, a surgery that the Interventional Department's Zhao Xiangming, Zhao Zhuren, couldn't perform.

"Bai Chuzhang, doing this breaks the rules," Zhao Tianjiao took half a step forward and said with his neck stiffened.

"Oh, then you call your dad," Bai Chuzhang said indifferently.

"..."

Zhao Tianjiao didn't expect Bai Chuzhang to be so blunt with him.

"Ask your dad if I can take the Patient back now; if it's okay, we'll step down from the table right now, and I'll listen to the leadership in everything."

A gust of cold wind whistled past Zhao Tianjiao's ears.

He knew very well that Bai Chuzhang was being polite; all that talk about listening to the leadership was just hypocritical pleasantries.

Bai Chuzhang's impatience was already written on his face!

But you can't just let a Standardized Training Student go up and perform a Level 4 Surgery as the lead surgeon!

The screen lit up, and the Micro-guidewire moved along the vessel wall, having already reached the position of the Lumbar Transverse Artery.

Bai Chuzhang pressed the intercom.

No one in the operating room spoke; Ji Xiang performed the surgery on his own, without any communication with his assistant, Zhao Xiangming.

Zhao Jixiang was very angry; he stared fixedly at the screen.

Zhao Zhuren had just failed to perform a Super-selection at this position three times, and Zhao Tianjiao had also heard Zhao Zhuren complain that it was impossible to complete such an operation without a suitable, moldable COBRA Catheter.

If even Zhao Zhuren couldn't do it, what right did Ji Xiang have to be able to!

Without a Doctor's license, without surgical qualifications, just a reserve Doctor, yet he was performing a Level 4 Surgery!

These thoughts circled in Zhao Tianjiao's mind like vultures.

"Zhao Zhuren, what is the Patient's family situation like?"

A voice came out from the loudspeaker.

"..."

"..."

The people in the control room were all stunned.

The most difficult part of the operation hadn't even been done yet; why had Ji Xiang started asking about the Patient's family situation?
