Chapter 551: Interventional Treatment

Li Zhuren appeared on screen, saying something to the female Patient, communicating very earnestly.

But at this moment, the lip-reading Expert was no longer translating; did it matter what Li Zhuren was saying?

It didn't matter at all.

The scene that had just unfolded, where Ji Xiang leaped out in a hair-breadth moment to engage in a battle of wits and courage with the female Patient, was the true highlight.

Li Zhuren was just a lackey; who would care what a lackey was doing?

Everyone had watched an unbelievable scene, and the Review Room was plunged into silence.

The Guangtou Zhuchiren was experienced; after a brief silence, he was the first to step out to liven up the atmosphere.

"Teacher Shen, Doctor Ji Xiang's performance today was stunning... and quite incomprehensible," the Guangtou Zhuchiren said.

"No." Professor Shen looked solemn.

On the screen, Ji Xiang's figure had already disappeared into the crowd; he frowned and said with deep concern.

What Professor Shen was thinking was the same as Bai Chuzhang.

Empathy is a great taboo for a Doctor.

"Doctor Ji Xiang has been at the Affiliated Hospital recently, and we have all seen it with our own eyes—he tore off his White Uniform and rushed up," Professor Shen smoothed out his thoughts and said in as steady a tone as possible. "Since it wasn't an arrangement by the production team, it can only prove one thing—Doctor Ji Xiang is a person with delicate emotions who can put himself in the Patient's shoes to think about problems."

"Teacher Shen, isn't that what one should do?" a guest asked. "I feel very unhappy every time I go to the hospital and see a Doctor with a straight face. Standing in the Patient's shoes, I really feel depressed."

"The Doctor has no idea that I'm feeling unwell, and my patience has reached its limit. Meeting a Doctor with delicate emotions like Ji Xiang is the best, isn't it?"

"It's not." Teacher Shen once again denied the guest's point of view. "In our daily lives, when we encounter people in need and feel compassion, helping each other is quite common."

"However, in a hospital, you see life and death every day. Every Patient with late-stage Cancer or who dies in an accident is someone else's husband, wife, son, or daughter. If medical staff put themselves in their shoes, their Spirit would collapse very quickly."

The Guangtou Zhuchiren and the many guests listened quietly.

"Beyond that, Ji Xiang seems to have emotions delicate enough to experience the Patient's pain. For the Patient, this is indeed a good thing, because even their closest blood relatives cannot feel it and don't know what the sick person is enduring."

"But then again, if Ji Xiang can feel it, he will always subconsciously put himself in their place. No matter how strong his mental power is, like a rock, water will eventually wear through stone, and in the end, Doctor Ji Xiang will definitely collapse."

As Professor Shen spoke, his expression grew increasingly serious.

The discussion on this segment did not last long; Professor Shen had only just finished speaking when the Guangtou Zhuchiren cleared his throat and gave a lopsided smile. "Teacher Shen, I don't think Doctor Ji Xiang can necessarily understand the Patient's pain; that's too fantastical. Besides, this is a female ailment, and I see Doctor Ji Xiang as a standard man."

The topic was veering off course, and the Guangtou Zhuchiren pulled it back, skillfully controlling the flow.

"Can you briefly talk about Endometriosis?"

Professor Shen was interrupted; he took a deep look at the Guangtou Zhuchiren, but did not insist, and after a pause, he said, "I don't know much about this disease either, I can only start by speaking briefly."

"Endometriosis refers to a common gynecological disease in women where active Endometrial cells are implanted in locations outside the endometrium; these cells should have grown within the uterine cavity."

"I just gave an example of metastasis to other places, which is relatively rare. The Patient who was just about to... is a case where the endometrium is implanted in the uterine smooth muscle layer, so during the menstrual period, the Endometrial cells between the smooth muscles become congested and edematous, triggering pain."

The Guangtou Zhuchiren asked, "Teacher Shen, do you mean that the situation before us is just one way Endometriosis manifests?"

"Yes, and it is also the most common way," Professor Shen said. "The cases of endometriosis we usually encounter are basically related to dysmenorrhea."

The Guangtou Zhuchiren gave a lopsided smile, signaling that he understood.

"The principle is roughly like this; as for how to treat it specifically... the treatment method I know of is a hysterectomy. I suppose this is also the reason the female Patient does not accept it; after all, if it is completely removed, there is no possibility of having children in the future."

"Many people can accept it, but some cannot."

Professor Shen finally said a platitude.

The scene shifted, and the cameraman provided several shots of Li Zhuren looking serious while consulting with gynecologists and Experts.

This was followed by a montage of shifting stars and changing moons, implying that time was passing quickly.

Bai Chuzhang and Liu Zhuren knew that the next step was to proceed with treatment, and Liu Zhuren asked, "Lao Bai, can this disease be cured?"

"It seems so," Bai Chuzhang said. "Like Liver Cancer, there is a possibility of recovery, but it is not satisfactory enough to become the primary Clinical treatment method."

"Satisfactory? What a joke. If we're talking about satisfaction, the treatment for high blood pressure alone isn't satisfactory," Liu Zhuren began to argue.

Bai Chuzhang smiled slightly; he knew very well that Ji Xiang would appear again, and it was even possible that the surgery would be performed by Ji Xiang.

Liu Zhi, that guy, had already become emotionally invested and wouldn't let anyone say anything bad about Ji Xiang.

Even if it were himself, even if he hadn't expressed it yet, Liu Zhi had already started subconsciously defending Ji Xiang.

"It was 5 years ago, back when the Four Great Vajras of the Interventional Department were still here, fighting openly and secretly, all wanting to become the director of the Interventional Department in the future," Bai Chuzhang said. "One day, Lao Mu came to me and said he wanted to cooperate with the Gynecology department to develop the treatment for Endometriosis."

"Lao Mu brought a piece of relevant literature, if I remember correctly, it was from European Radiology. There was an article in it describing Interventional Surgery for Endometriosis, and Lao Mu was quite optimistic; it was said that 80% of Patients achieved effective treatment."

"80%! That high!" Liu Zhuren was slightly startled, but then he thought of the time period Bai Chuzhang mentioned and gave a bitter smile. "Lao Bai, 5 years ago, Mu Chengchun was about to leave, right?"

"Yes, of course I agreed, and I also knew that Mu Chengchun was looking for the Medical Affairs Department to take the blame. But after all, it was a new technology, so let's do it. Let him do it freely; no matter how much ability he has, I will build a stage for him of equal size," Bai Chuzhang said.

"Unfortunately, before it could even be launched, an Er Jia Yiyuan in Zhujiang poached him with an offer of an annual salary of 800,000, a house, a permanent position, and the role of director of the Interventional Department," Bai Chuzhang said, sighing.

Liu Zhuren knew about the conditions offered on that side.

Under such conditions, any Expert who could leave would certainly leave, except for the big directors who held the financial and personnel power here, such as himself.

Of the Four Great Vajras of the Interventional Department, only the one with the worst skills, Zhao Xiangming, was left in the end.

"It was never launched; it's a real pity," Liu Zhuren said.

"There's Xiao Ji," Bai Chuzhang's eyes were filled with hope.
