Chapter 439: Like Celebrating the New Year

"Tianjiao, what are you doing?"

Seeing his son hiding in the room, looking at his phone with a "ferocious" expression, his body tense, Zhao Jixiang asked with suspicion.

Zhao Tianjiao pursed his lips, his brows tightly furrowed.

"What's going on?"

"Dad, Ji Xiang's variety show is on." Zhao Tianjiao tried hard to suppress the jealousy in his heart, speaking in as flat a tone as possible.

But the flames of jealousy had already left him unrecognizable.

"Come out and watch it." Zhao Jixiang said indifferently.

Zhao Tianjiao still listened to the old man at home; although he didn't want to, his body was very honest.

Carrying his PAD, he came out, set up the screen casting, and Zhao Tianjiao sat on the sofa with the old man to watch TV.

Zhao Jixiang's wife hadn't seen this scene in many years, and out of curiosity, she sat over as well.

In recent years, the family wouldn't even sit together to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve; everyone just did their own thing. At this moment, sitting together to watch a variety show, Zhao Jixiang's wife felt a bit of warmth.

However.

Zhao Jixiang and his son Zhao Tianjiao watched the variety show in silence, not saying a word, completely different from the liveliness and celebration of New Year's Eve.

"Is this a medical variety show?" Zhao Jixiang's wife asked in surprise after watching for a few moments.

"Mm." Zhao Jixiang nodded, "This young man is Ji Xiang, the one who broke my record."

"So it's him!" Zhao Jixiang's wife finally understood why the two men were watching the variety show so solemnly.

Usually, neither of them had anything to do with variety shows, not even paying them a glance.

No wonder.

"This young man is too arrogant. Even if the written test went smoothly, he should have waited for others to hand in their papers before handing in his. This is the most basic courtesy; he has no emotional intelligence at all." Zhao Jixiang's wife commented.

Zhao Jixiang knew she was nitpicking from their son's perspective, so he shook his head and said fairly, "Ji Xiang's grades have always been good, a perfect score and first in the country; this kind of thing isn't something an ordinary person can do."

Creak, creak~~

Zhao Tianjiao clenched his fists, making a sound that set one's teeth on edge.

"Just a first place, even if it is national. This kid is a bit arrogant; being too arrogant won't get him far." Zhao Jixiang's wife said, "As for the perfect score, it only proves the past; it's of no use for the future."

Zhao Jixiang didn't continue, instead continuing to watch the others' performances as the camera shifted.

Except for Ji Xiang, everyone else was very green.

Even the one who had worked at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Medical College for a year was a rookie in Zhao Jixiang's eyes.

Only Ji Xiang was an outlier.

"I watched the first two seasons of this show; the participants were all novices and were taught a very harsh lesson." Zhao Jixiang's wife said with a smile, "Ji Xiang wants to stand out, but I reckon the more he does this, the worse he'll end up."

"That girl who is a PhD candidate looks good. I think she will definitely come from behind and eventually crush Ji Xiang."

Zhao Jixiang and Zhao Tianjiao still didn't speak, both staring intently at the TV, not even letting the commercials go.

The two of them looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, which left Zhao Jixiang's wife feeling somewhat confused.

Entering the department, the camera focused on Ji Xiang.

A patient with "nothing wrong" was about to be discharged, and the Resident Chief arranged by the hospital took Ji Xiang and Zhao Mengmeng to do rounds.

"I guessed it would be the easiest patient." Zhao Tianjiao curled his lip and said, "Who would agree to let a real critical patient be used?"

"This approach is very seasoned." Zhao Jixiang said, "Finding an old patient who is frequently hospitalized, whose gallbladder has already been removed, and who only needs intravenous Antibiotic treatment every time they are hospitalized. And Tianjiao, did you notice? This might be a difficult problem intentionally or unintentionally designed by the department director."

"A difficult problem?" Zhao Tianjiao was stunned for a moment.

"What do we call a stubborn patient in Clinical practice?"

"Low medical compliance; you have to be extra careful. Resident Chief Zhai taught me that." Zhao Tianjiao replied.

"Finding a patient with extremely low medical compliance that even the director can't handle and letting two novices test the waters—it seems the First Affiliated Hospital is still very resistant to the variety show." Zhao Jixiang smiled slightly, "Just wait, this patient will make Ji Xiang look bad."

"Dealing with patients with low medical compliance is a huge headache." Zhao Tianjiao stared at the screen, "When I was in the Orthopedics Department, I was putting a cast on a patient, and the patient asked me many questions, from the manufacturer of the cast to the technique of applying it. Dad, I explained it very patiently at first, but the patient and the Family Member were truly too difficult to deal with."

"Nowadays, patients have too many ways to obtain disease information, and the various information from these channels is very chaotic. If the patient or their Family Member cannot distinguish well, it may cause interference with the advice given by the Doctor during medical treatment." Zhao Jixiang explained.

"Simply put, it's that patients and their Family Members have more choices, and information channels aren't as closed off as before. But they aren't professionals, so this situation arises."

"If you trust our Second Affiliated Hospital, come here; if you don't, you can go to the First Affiliated Hospital, or are there other hospitals?" Zhao Tianjiao watched the TV and accidentally blurted out his true thoughts.

Zhao Jixiang glanced at Zhao Tianjiao and shook his head imperceptibly.

On the screen, Zhai Yuhan was communicating with Ji Xiang and Zhao Mengmeng; her train of thought was very clear, and she also provided a plan for follow-up examinations and diagnosis and treatment.

Unfortunately, the patient didn't agree, and Zhai Yuhan had no way to deal with it.

"As a Clinical Doctor, you must have strong communication skills with patients and their Family Members. Ji Xiang, you are now the ward-managing Doctor, responsible for explaining the situation to the patient and their Family Member, and convincing them."

Zhai Yuhan instructed Ji Xiang.

Hearing the words of this Resident Chief from the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhao Jixiang smiled slightly and gently stretched his limbs.

"Dad, is this asking Ji Xiang to do an impossible task himself?" Zhao Tianjiao asked.

"Mm." Zhao Jixiang laughed, "Handing a patient over to an Intern when even Director Yang, who performs surgery on the patient, cannot convince them, and even the Resident Chief, who has been managing the ward and responsible for communicating with the patient, cannot convince them."

As he spoke, the smile on his face grew even brighter.

A gratified smile appeared on Zhao Tianjiao's face.

He was looking forward to this, looking forward to Ji Xiang making a fool of himself. This humiliation wouldn't be a simple matter of being scolded by a superior Doctor at the hospital, but being humiliated across the entire internet!

Telling him to go participate in some variety show all smugly, thinking the production team would take care of him, only to be set up by the "insidious" director and Resident Chief of the First Affiliated Hospital.

Zhai Yuhan was definitely doing it on purpose; Zhao Tianjiao could even judge the danger level of the trap from Zhai Yuhan's tone and body language.

"Hahaha." Zhao Tianjiao laughed out loud.

"Mengmeng, it's like this when you first enter Clinical practice. You've always done basic research before, so it's normal not to understand." Zhai Yuhan was chatting with Zhao Mengmeng, soothing her emotions.

The camera flashed, and another set of cameras had already followed Ji Xiang to Hao Bing Fang.
