Chapter 644: Are There Still Spots in the Medical Team?

"Old Xie, how about it, isn't it awesome?" Zhao Zhe looked at the report and said smugly.

This isn't the Second Affiliated Hospital, it isn't home; seeing a critical value doesn't require Zhao Zhe to run around, he has enough time to show off.

Blood potassium 1.9 mmol/L, this value has already lit up a red light, falling into the category of critical values.

Although not everything Ji Xiang said has been proven yet, it has pointed out a direction for the doctors.

Xie Kai scratched his head, not knowing what to make of it in his heart.

Only those who are doctors can understand just how divine a stroke of genius Ji Xiang's diagnosis was.

"I'm asking you, is it awesome or not?" Seeing Xie Kai not speaking, Zhao Zhe added another smug sentence.

"Zhao Zhe, what's his background?" Xie Kai asked in a murmur.

"Let me tell you..."

Zhao Zhe is a chatterbox by nature, and now that the question was asked by Xie Kai, he counted on his fingers and told Xie Kai all the stories that had happened since he met Ji Xiang.

From the pre-operative embolization for renal cancer all the way to Neymar, spit flying everywhere.

"Neymar!" Xie Kai was stunned.

Zhao Zhe had mentioned it repeatedly just now, but Xie Kai had ignored it.

After all, how could a small fry like Zhao Zhe be connected to Neymar?

Even thinking about it with your toes, it's impossible.

Yet Zhao Zhe brought up Neymar once again, and with a proud look on his face.

"Yeah, didn't you watch the variety show? Neymar even made an appearance! Let me tell you, before Neymar, an NBA star came, but this didn't work, that didn't work, and in the end, he didn't choose to have the surgery done here either. Look at Neymar, how grand!"

"Yesterday, he signed over a hundred jerseys for me alone!"

"To be honest, with Neymar sitting on the hospital bed in a cast signing for me, I was actually a bit embarrassed. But, I couldn't stop him even if I wanted to; Neymar is just too enthusiastic. If he didn't just date female celebrities without getting married, he would be the perfect idol."

"Zhao Yisheng, hello."

A figure appeared like a ghost; the moment he spoke, he gave Zhao Zhe and Xie Kai a fright.

This is a damn ghost.

"Doctor... Doctor Lin, next time you come, make some noise when you walk." Zhao Zhe said, clutching his chest.

"I just walked over from across from you." Lin Jiuze had a harmless smile, "I'd like to consult you about something."

"Doctor Lin, go ahead. The jersey Neymar signed for me, I..."

Zhao Zhe had just finished speaking to Lin Jiuze when his gaze returned to Xie Kai; after saying half a sentence, he realized he had made a mistake, so he quickly stopped and looked back at Lin Jiuze.

"Is there still a spot in Doctor Ji Xiang's medical team?" Lin Jiuze asked humbly.

"A spot? What spot?" Zhao Zhe was taken aback.

"I want to use my vacation to do a stint of advanced studies in Doctor Ji Xiang's medical team. It's called advanced studies in the country, right? The main purpose is to improve my technical level." Lin Jiuze said, "Through this period of contact, I discovered that Doctor Ji Xiang is amazing at surgery and amazing at diagnosis, so I want to learn."

"..."

Zhao Zhe was stunned, his mouth hanging wide open, enough to fit an egg inside.

"Zhao Yisheng?"

"Ah! There doesn't seem to be a concept of 'spots' in domestic medical teams, it's different from where you are. If it's going through the procedures for advanced studies, it's relatively simple, but... you know, Doctor Ji Xiang has to agree." Zhao Zhe said stutteringly.

"Alright, thank you." Lin Jiuze thanked him politely, then left as if he had turned invisible; neither Zhao Zhe nor Xie Kai could recall how the person had left.

Stunned for over ten seconds, Xie Kai asked suspiciously, "Zhao Zhe, who is this person who is like a ghost?"

"He says he's a doctor from Massachusetts General Hospital, he's already received an appointment letter as an Attending Professor, and he can have his own medical team after he goes back from vacation."

"Where did you say?!" Xie Kai's mouth could fit a goose egg.

"Massachusetts General Hospital." Zhao Zhe said very firmly.

"The one at Harvard?"

"Yes."

"..." Xie Kai finally fell silent, the corners of his eyes and brows twitching constantly, as if he had suffered a stroke.

"There's no help for it, I just came early, otherwise there wouldn't be a spot for me in the medical team at all now. Look, you saw Doctor Lin Jiuze, right? Even he might not be able to come for advanced studies."

Zhao Zhe looked like he was complaining, but in reality, he was showing off, he was being a 'Versailles'.

Xie Kai's mouth twitched slightly, and finally, he cracked a very ugly smile that looked like crying.

"Zhao Zhe, our hospital said you flew up to the branches and turned into a phoenix; I didn't believe it, but now that I see it, you've become incredibly awesome!"

"Sigh, don't say that, I'm just an old Attending Physician, I haven't done much since coming to Xiao Ji's medical team. But they pay well here, and I'm very happy working here."

"Oh? How much do they pay? Does it reach fifty thousand yuan a month?" Xie Kai's expression shifted, and he asked something he shouldn't have.

As for income, everyone is tight-lipped; as soon as the words left his mouth, Xie Kai regretted it a little.

Unknowingly, the weight of Zhao Zhe in his heart had already changed.

"Ha, making money is a small matter."

"Hahaha, right, we serve the people, we treat illnesses and save lives, why talk about making money, how vulgar!" It was rare for Xie Kai to go along with what Zhao Zhe said.

"Old Xie, your awareness is quite high."

Xie Kai felt that Zhao Zhe was being sarcastic, but he didn't refute it.

Zhao Zhe smiled, not making things too difficult for Xie Kai, and continued, "I had been in the medical team for less than a month when Xiao Ji summarized the things I'd been pondering for so many years and published a paper in The Lancet."

"Then we came to..."

Zhao Zhe was halfway through when Xie Kai suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What did you say!"

"Ah? I was talking about the show production team."

"No, the sentence before that."

"Published a paper in The Lancet, and then got selected for this year's Provincial Natural Science Project."

"The Lancet? Is it the The Lancet I know?" Xie Kai pressed.

His eyes had already begun to turn red, full of bloodshot veins, looking somewhat frightening.

"Yes." Zhao Zhe wanted exactly this effect; he felt very proud and satisfied inside.

Living in this world, the recognition of others is also important; he didn't have as high a level as Xiao Ji, so being able to make an old colleague feel envious and jealous was quite good.

"Damn! You actually have an article in The Lancet!" Xie Kai's grip tightened a little.

But in a split second, Xie Kai laughed out loud, "You're fifth author; they used your results to write the article and then gave you some scraps, and you're proud of even that?"

"I am the first author, and I also presided over the Provincial Natural Science Foundation project. Actually, I know Xiao Ji is just using me as a facade because his years of service aren't enough, so as to avoid others gossiping. Being a facade is fine, it doesn't matter."

"However, I won't be able to be this facade for long. I can be promoted to Deputy Chief Physician next year, and Xiao Ji will likely be promoted to Deputy Chief Physician by exception as well. By then, I can just comfortably serve as his assistant."

As Zhao Zhe spoke, he observed Xie Kai.

Seeing Xie Kai's pupils constrict bilaterally with the light reflex vaguely disappearing, he felt incredibly gratified.
