Chapter 215

"Eh—!" Seeing Liu Wu turn around and walk back into the operating room, Second Uncle raised his hand wanting to say something, but Fourth Uncle was standing right beside him and, quick of eye and hand, intercepted his hand and pulled it down.

Eyes fixed on the direction where Fang Ziye stood, as if scanning something.

Mother Liang Xia, seeing this, couldn't help but lower her voice and ask: "Ziye, do you know this Director?"

Fang Ziye shook his head and also said in a low voice: "I don't know him. This one is a Deputy Director Physician from Minzu University Hospital; I'm at the Central Hospital where my distant second aunt's house is, so we're not the same unit."

To let his uncles and mother understand, Fang Ziye directly brought up his distant second aunt.

Second Aunt counted as Mother's sister; he believed his uncles would definitely know her.

If they misunderstood that he clearly knew Director Liu Wu but was unwilling to help, they would definitely have a thorn in their hearts, and even Grandma would feel uncomfortable.

Grandpa and Grandma doted on Fang Ziye very much; Grandpa just said: "Little Ye'er says he doesn't know him, then he definitely doesn't know him."

"Little Ye'er has never lied since childhood." Grandpa squeezed out a smiling face, explaining to his two sons.

When people get old, after they stop managing the household, they instead become a bit more careful and cautious.

Just as Grandpa was explaining, Liu Wu and another middle-aged man a bit older walked out of the operating room together from outside!

Seeing this, another patient's family members immediately went up to meet them, planning to ask about the specific situation.

And Liu Wu immediately walked toward the family members and pulled them aside: "You come over here; regarding your mother's situation, it's not too good right now, so..."

At the same time, Director Dong from Ba County People's Hospital stood opposite Fang Ziye with a half-believing, half-doubting look, smiling as he asked first: "You're all Second Sister Zhou's family members, right?"

"Yes yes yes, that's right, Director Dong." Fourth Uncle, who had a relatively higher education level, hurriedly replied.

But Director Dong's very first glance locked onto Fang Ziye and then never left, asking: "Doctor Fang, are you also Second Sister Zhou's family member? Is this your paternal grandmother or maternal grandmother?"

"Just now Director Liu Wu said he saw you in the department, and I also found it surprising."

Director Dong definitely didn't know Fang Ziye.

Enshi is a distance away from Ba County; matters inside Enshi Central Hospital, especially not good ones, many details wouldn't leak out.

But there's one thing: Liu Wu wouldn't lie. That is, Liu Wu said that Wu Xuanqi from Minzu University Hospital personally said Fang Ziye's closed reduction technique was better than Doctor Wu Xuanqi's.

Comparing it this way, Director Dong, who had met Wu Xuanqi a few times, understood Liu Wu's meaning in his heart.

Even if this was just Wu Xuanqi being polite, if Fang Ziye's technique was merely on par with him, then today he might also be able to help break the deadlock a bit.

Fourth Uncle and the others instantly didn't know how to respond again.

The matter concerned their nephew, so they simply kept their mouths shut, but couldn't help ripples rising in their hearts.

One Liu Wu was fine, but now even the County People's Hospital's Director Dong was politely calling out "Doctor Fang" and even adding the honorific "You"; no matter how polite, there had to be a reason for Fang Ziye to make others be polite to him.

Hearing this, Fang Ziye's gaze flashed lightly, and he didn't think of concealing his identity: "Director Dong, it's my maternal grandmother; she accidentally took a fall."

"I rushed back from Enshi in a hurry; I heard the town doctors say Director Dong you could think of a way to do closed reduction here, so I transferred her up."

Hearing these words, Director Dong's eyelids twitched rapidly a few times.

But in the end, he didn't say much more.

He had looked at Second Sister Zhou's films; the fracture situation was relatively simple.

"This, Doctor Fang, would it be convenient to borrow a step to speak?" Director Dong came looking for Fang Ziye not to discuss Second Sister Zhou's fracture.

"Would you mind lending me your nephew for a moment?" Since Fang Ziye explained it was his maternal grandmother, the people who came basically couldn't be Fang Ziye's uncles; even if it was an uncle-by-marriage, Fang Ziye barely counted as a nephew, not outrageously wrong.

Fourth Uncle and the others still didn't reply.

When Fang Ziye entered undergrad, Fourth Uncle still gave him a few suggestions, saying if he was willing he could apply to Political and Legal University, but Fang Ziye himself preferred the steadier path of medicine.

But after he finished undergrad and entered a Master's program, Fourth Uncle and the others never made suggestions again, just said to let Fang Ziye study upward as far as he could; if tuition and living expenses couldn't be managed at home, call anytime, twenty or thirty thousand could always be prepared.

"Uncles, Mom, Grandpa, I'll go with Director Dong for a bit."

"The previous patient hasn't come out yet; we might have to wait slightly longer..." Fang Ziye explained it this way.

Fourth Uncle and the others waved at Fang Ziye; after Fang Ziye turned around, they started communicating with their eyes.

When Fang Ziye arrived, whether it was Liu Wu from Minzu University Hospital or Director Dong from Ba County People's Hospital, both became a bit strange; their train of thought couldn't quite keep up.

Director Dong didn't pull Fang Ziye far away, but quickly stated his purpose in finding Fang Ziye.

Which was to hope Fang Ziye could help lend a hand, to see if the old granny who had a fracture earlier — his paternal aunt — could undergo closed reduction, to handle the fracture.

Otherwise, she could only go back and lie there waiting for fate.

A well-reduced fracture and a non-reduced fracture — the speed of recovery and the outcome after recovery are completely worlds apart.

"Director Dong, I understand your proposal, but me operating here, isn't that inappropriate?" Fang Ziye wore a troubled expression.

His current identity is just a family member.

A medical practitioner's designated practice location is no joke; conducting diagnosis and treatment activities at a non-registered practice location is illegal.

Director Dong is a medical practitioner himself; he should know the implication. If it goes badly, it affects a lifetime's career.

"And Director Liu couldn't help; I also may not necessarily be able to help, Director Dong." Fang Ziye explained.

"This is actually easy to handle; I'll make a call to Minzu University Hospital, then supplement a consultation application procedure, have them temporarily do a practice location filing/registration."

"Doctor Fang, this matter, please do help; the old person lying inside is my own paternal aunt." Director Dong clarified the identity.

"You take a look; if you also say it's unsuitable, then the reduction matter is dropped."

With the identity laid bare and Director Dong personally vouching, Fang Ziye hesitated for a few seconds.

"Director Dong, since you've put it like this, then I'll... stand by the side and learn a bit? But I haven't seen the films or the patient, so I can't say it's good either."

"Doctor Fang, you can take a look; that counts as owing a favor."

"Please, inside."

With Director Dong personally leading, and with the nephew identity, so when Director Dong brought Fang Ziye right to the doorway, Liu Wu had already finished negotiating with the other family members.

But even so, a woman about the same age as Liu Wu still leaned close to Liu Wu's ear and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Fang looks so young; can he do it?"

"Why don't we still wait for Doctor Wu."

"What are you saying? Doctor Fang is someone I recognized myself, not someone Doctor Fang wormed his way in. You stop talking!" Liu Wu's tone was decisive.

Fang Ziye would not beg to go in and operate; the person lying inside was his own mother-in-law, old in years, with poor baseline vitals, unable to tolerate surgery.

If not for that, he would not have run back.

Doctors avoid treating relatives, but there was no other way.

And it just so happened that today Wu Xuanqi from the department also had other private matters and really could not come.

"Brother, you trust me don't..." Liu Wu turned his head to look at another middle-aged man!

"Good! ~" Perhaps it was Liu Wu's brother-in-law's man nodding, then looking at Fang Ziye: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Fang."

"My mother's condition still requires you to expend your thoughts."

Liu Wu then turned his head again to look at Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye hesitated slightly in his heart; on Director Dong's side, the call had also been finished, and he walked toward Fang Ziye: "Doctor Fang, I have personally confirmed; the Medical Affairs Department has obtained your Central Hospital Medical Affairs Department's out-of-area practice registration."

"Doctor Fang, now you must not refuse."

"Eh, no, what is this?" Fang Ziye's fourth uncle, seeing this situation becoming more and more outrageous, became somewhat puzzled.

He brought his own mother over to queue; the front wasn't finished operating? Why go in again?

Director Dong was on the phone, calling his own hospital's Medical Affairs Department, hoping the Medical Affairs Department could contact the Central Hospital's Medical Affairs Department, to negotiate in the Medical Affairs Department's name — the speed would be faster, and it would also appear more formal.

"Fourth Uncle, don't be anxious, it's like this..." Fang Ziye explained it himself...

"Eh! ~" Fourth Uncle Liang Renyi then fell silent again.

I've lived so many years, never seen patients queuing outside, then the patient's family member grabbed inside to treat the patient — what kind of matter is this?

Second Uncle Liang Renyong lowered his head, rubbed his hair, still not quite understanding this reversal.

After speaking, Fang Ziye was again led to put on a white coat...

By the time Fang Ziye entered the operating room, Liang Renyong asked his younger brother: "Ziye this is, being dragged to go treat that granny in front?"

"Should be this situation." Liang Renyi: one, not a doctor; two, unfamiliar with hospital routines, so felt this scene slightly hard to fathom.

"Why does it look so funny?"

"Didn't they say Director Liu's technique is good? We only listened to Town Doctor Ma's suggestion, transferred up, then this?" Liang Renyi nearly cursed.

Eh, his own nephew is the family member; the hospital has so many doctors, why must it be him?

He looked at Liang Xia: "Little sister, your family's Ziye?"

Liang Xia and husband, both with innocent faces shaking their heads, full of innocence — how would they know such a thing would happen?

Roughly five or six minutes later.

Fang Ziye again walked out with Liu Wu; Liu Wu's face full of gratitude, cupped fists and left: "Doctor Fang, great kindness no words for thanks! When free, I will certainly with my wife personally visit to thank."

"Done?" Several people just came out, the woman who had behaved slightly intimately with Liu Wu hurried forward to ask.

"Reduction done, wait for a re-check, inside still casting plaster."

Liu Wu replied, then looked at his brother-in-law: "Brother, reduction done, reduction should be successful; fortunately we encountered Doctor Fang, otherwise could only continue waiting. Later take a film, after film results come out, should not differ much."

"Doctor Fang's technique, that is very good; in our Enshi, many peers acknowledge he is this one; that's why I invited him." Liu Wu at this moment very composed.

"Doctor Fang, truly is this caliber."

"Whether Doctor Wu, or our department's Director Fu, neither exaggerated."

"Today fortunate to encounter; otherwise this matter truly don't know how to handle."

Seeing Liu Wu's thumbs-up action and expression, his brother-in-law also hurriedly accompanied with a smile: "This we don't understand, but Liu Wu you say good, then Doctor Fang certainly technique very good."

"Doctor Fang, thank you..."

Fang Ziye on one hand taking off white coat, on one hand saying: "Director Liu, you over-praise. Almost killed by praise."

"Since Grandma's reduction done, then later still trouble you to help my maternal grandmother also reduce and treat."

Liu Wu hearing this, gaze flashed: "Doctor Fang, your maternal grandmother this fracture, you not personally do?"

"Slightly avoid suspicion, Director Liu; truthfully, this is my maternal grandmother, from childhood treated me especially well, I fear I cannot bring down my hand." Fang Ziye shook head.

Doctors avoid relatives — is truth.

Current Fang Ziye, to cut a person a slash, he would not have too much hesitation. But this is his own maternal grandmother ah; without special necessity, Fang Ziye truly cannot bear that his own two hands bring her pain.

Even if this is therapeutic pain.

"My maternal grandmother's this fracture not too difficult, trouble Director Liu you personally lend a hand." Fang Ziye took off white coat, then also slightly folded it.

Beside, a County People's Hospital doctor hurriedly took the white coat from Fang Ziye's hands.

And words to here, Liu Wu also not good to refuse; next procedures to walk, just very simple procedures...

Again roughly fifteen minutes later, Fang Ziye's maternal grandmother pushed out by Liu Wu and Director Dong two people personally!

Maternal grandmother's complexion due to reduction pain a bit pale, but face expression, already relaxed open; estimate reduction good after, pain feeling, slowed very many.

"Director Dong, how? Successful?" Liang Renyi hurriedly asked the coming-out Director Dong.

Director Dong and Liu Wu then looked at each other in dismay, then said to Fang Ziye: "Doctor Fang, basically should be reduction successful, but you must not demand too high ah; if benchmarked against your operation level, would appear a bit exacting."

They themselves consider still not bad, but operation has still not bad and very good; however if later Fang Ziye really sees where not good enough, hope can also be understanding.

"Two Directors joking. Thank you two Directors." Fang Ziye slightly cupped hands, also slowly let out a breath.

"Must not, Doctor Fang!"

Director Dong smiling responded: "This old brother, reduction done, you take aunt down for re-check; but your nephew, I still must borrow a moment."

"See you all thanked, we also must again formally thank in person."

Liang Renyi and group took over Fang Ziye maternal grandmother's push bed; a group looked at Fang Ziye one glance, also not much said, directly kept Fang Ziye behind.
