Chapter 328: Nameless Fury

Zhao Jixiang raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xiangming's back, his expression solemn.

He went out to make a phone call, and Zhao Yuanzhang knew perfectly well who he was calling. Besides that young man, who else could it be!

Zhao Yuanzhang could not understand why Zhao Xiangming, the dignified Director of the Interventional Department at the Second Affiliated Hospital, would be so reliant on a Standardized Training Student.

A surgery that even he, Zhao Xiangming, could not understand or perform, a Standardized Training Doctor could do? Zhao Jixiang did not believe it.

It was unclear if the words Zhao Tianjiao said last night had an influence, but whenever Ji Xiang came to mind, Zhao Jixiang felt a sense of disgust.

It was supposed to be a proper hospital-wide consultation where everyone worked together to overcome a difficulty, yet that old fool Zhao Xiangming actually called to ask a Standardized Training Doctor for help!

Could there be anything more unreliable than this?

Did he still want his reputation?

Zhao Yuanzhang's expression gradually turned cold, and the others, being tactful, remained silent.

The hospital-wide consultation thus entered a pause; the sound of a Monitoring Instrument from the ICU's private room drifted over, sounding so jarring.

A few minutes later, Zhao Xiangming walked back with a wooden expression.

"Director Zhao, what are your thoughts and ideas?" Zhao Yuanzhang asked flatly.

"He said the surgery can be done, that one can use a Guide Wire to push the head of the Swan-Ganz Catheter out; the surgery is not difficult," Zhao Xiangming said, stammering.

He seemed to be dreaming, his state was extremely poor, and he did not notice the change in Zhao Yuanzhang's expression.

"He said? Who said?" Zhao Yuanzhang asked.

"Doctor Xiao Ji."

"That Standardized Training Student from the Urology Department?" Zhao Yuanzhang asked.

"Yes."

"Bang~~~" Zhao Yuanzhang slapped the table, and the computer on the table shook several times.

"Zhao Xiangming, you've really outdone yourself." Zhao Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Xiangming with a cold expression and said sternly, "You are, after all, an Expert in interventional pathology within the province, a top-tier Expert. If you can do it, do it; if you can't, you can't. You, damn it, you actually went to ask a Standardized Training Student!"

"..." Zhao Xiangming was stunned.

"Do you want to go study for a postgraduate degree under Ji Xiang before coming back to work?" Zhao Yuanzhang asked coldly.

"..."

These words were too harsh; all the Experts in the room could hear the undisguised gunpowder.

And rightly so, several Directors subconsciously stood on Zhao Yuanzhang's side, looking at Zhao Xiangming with confusion.

Their thoughts were the same as Zhao Yuanzhang's: Zhao Xiangming had lived to such an age in vain; how could he not ask the Experts in the Imperial Capital or Shanghai when encountering a case of a knotted Swan-Ganz Catheter, but instead ask a Standardized Training Student?

The air in the office gradually turned cold, and several gazes landed on Zhao Xiangming, leaving him at a loss.

Zhao Xiangming knew Zhao Yuanzhang was displeased and wanted to explain, but he did not know if he should.

"Director Zhao." Bai Chuzhang broke the silence. "Can you perform the task of using an interventional Guide Wire to push the head of the Swan-Ganz Catheter out?"

"No." Zhao Xiangming answered quite bluntly. "The operation is too delicate, similar to acrobatics; my skill level is not enough."

"You still have the nerve to say that." Zhao Yuanzhang was in a foul mood today. Hearing Zhao Xiangming say this made him even angrier. "You, the dignified Director of the Interventional Department at the Second Affiliated Hospital, actually agreed to the nonsense of a little Standardized Training Student who doesn't even have a Practicing Certificate?"

"Where is your professional integrity!"

"Where is your Spirit of healing the wounded and rescuing the dying!"

"Did you drink too much yesterday and still haven't sobered up, damn it!"

Zhao Jixiang, the Dean, launched a series of stern rebukes that left Zhao Xiangming completely bewildered, and the others were as silent as cicadas in winter.

Bai Chuzhang frowned. What was wrong with Zhao Yuanzhang today? His emotions seemed a bit agitated. Why did he act like his tail had been stepped on whenever Ji Xiang was mentioned?

However, Bai Chuzhang was shrewd; in a split second, he thought it must have something to do with Zhao Tianjiao.

Although, in his view, it wouldn't hurt to let Ji Xiang try. It was an Interventional Surgery; at most, it was just a puncture, and it wouldn't carry the huge risks of a Surgical Operation.

But since Zhao Yuanzhang had already set the tone, Bai Chuzhang found it hard to say anything.

"Director Wang, what is the opinion of your Vascular Department?" Bai Chuzhang brought the topic back, making Zhao Xiangming feel less embarrassed. "Can you open the jugular vein to remove the Swan-Ganz Catheter?"

"If there is really no other way, we can try," Director Wang of the Vascular Department said, trembling.

Operating Room.

A few minutes ago, the sound of a System Task rang in Ji Xiang's ears.

Subsequently, Zhao Xiangming's call came in. Ji Xiang went to the System Operating Room and performed hundreds of surgeries to master the technical means of pushing the head of the Swan-Ganz Catheter out before giving Director Zhao Xiangming a definitive answer.

"Xiao Ji, you are not being very rigorous here." After seeing the Circulating Nurse hang up the phone, Director Liu criticized Ji Xiang very seriously.

"Ah, what's wrong, Director?"

Director Liu's thoughts turned a thousand times. Some things were correct in reason and logic, but morally they were unstable, and one could easily be sprayed all over by others standing on the moral high ground.

If one happened to have diabetes, one might end up covered in syrup on their face.

"Doctor Xiao Ji, Director Liu means that you don't have a Practicing Certificate yet, so you should be cautious about performing surgery. If you do it here with us, it's no problem, and if something goes wrong, Director Liu will help you resolve it."

Zhao Zhe explained to Ji Xiang.

"With Director Liu here, who could say anything, right? But that is an emergency surgery, and the situation you are facing... I don't know what it is, but it must be very difficult. Once a problem occurs, it will be miserable if no one helps you take the blame.

Besides, it's hard for the hospital to explain. Once the Family Member verifies that you, someone without a certificate, performed the surgery, the hospital will face a storm. So, let's not cause trouble and just do our own work well.

You don't know, I encountered a similar problem when I was in Yuanliao City; in short, it's very difficult to handle..."

Zhao Zhe began to ramble, habitually extending from one topic to another.

But neither Director Liu nor Ji Xiang interrupted him, each lost in their own thoughts.

Ji Xiang was not heartbroken over a System Task, even though the reward for this task was very generous. He was just feeling a bit emotional. Previously, he thought that technology was the most important thing, just like his own grandfather, who had no professional title but could command the wind and rain in the financial market.

But in the hospital, he hadn't even taken the first step, and there were obstacles everywhere.

It seems he must first obtain his Physician Certificate, then get promoted, and follow the old path of others.

Otherwise, this would be a fatal flaw, a massive hidden danger.

Liu Zhuren was also silent; he knew very well what Zhao Xiangming was thinking. Moreover, Liu Zhuren felt that what Zhao Xiangming could not do, Ji Xiang might not necessarily be unable to do.

Just a moment ago, he had been close to Ji Xiang and heard clearly, so he knew what had happened over there.

Using a Guide Wire or a Catheter to push open the knot in the Swan-Ganz floating catheter inside the blood vessel... Liu Zhuren felt his mouth go dry just thinking about this procedure.

Has Doctor Xiao Ji already become this strong!
