Chapter 1262: 1224 Legacy

Su Yun hurried over, arriving at the operating room.

The change in the patient's family's attitude is understandable; there are three stages, fairly typical and logical.

Though it's said that even a fierce tiger won't eat its own cub, seeing abandoned infants and such in the hospital is all too common; though hard to accept, it's reality, and many families choose to discard such a "burden."

Su Yun only hopes that Zheng Ren, this guy, will absolutely not go ahead with the surgery; for a patient who is bound to have postoperative problems, once they get entangled, the progress of the entire TIPS surgery project could run into trouble.

The project isn't that urgent yet; nationwide it's gradually being rolled out. Frankly, Su Yun doesn't think the 912 side can accomplish much. No matter how big the project, it can't rely on piling up sand to form a tower.

He's just worried that Zheng Ren will get into trouble.

This guy… forget it, better go up and take a look. Even if we have to fight in the operating room, we must drag him down.

Thinking this, his steps quickened a bit.

Arriving on the sixth floor, he entered the changing room; voices came from inside. It should be Director Wei and Zheng Ren, and Su Yun felt somewhat relieved.

They probably were performing surgery over there; the difficulty wasn't high, and there were many observers, so the two sat in the changing room chatting.

"Boss Zheng, your hands were just too fast; my eyes were a bit blurry, I could hardly keep up."

"No, I was just in a hurry, so I sped up a bit. Fortunately you were here; otherwise, when tying off the artery, I'd have had to slow down."

"……" Su Yun froze, then immediately walked in.

He saw Director Wei taking off her stockings, while Zheng Ren was smoking.

"Boss, is the surgery over?" Su Yun asked in astonishment.

"Yeah, as soon as we got there the heartbeat was gone; the anesthesiologist urged us to hurry. The head of Pediatric Surgery… in the end the three of us did it, finishing in five minutes." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

Having just finished being busy, he still exuded a lingering aura of concentration.

It was like finishing a surgery while driving a sports car; it seems Boss Zheng also enjoyed it.

Su Yun felt his own hand go numb; damn it, to have a boss who can do a newborn's intestinal obstruction and necrosis in five minutes—really too worrisome.

"The patient's family refused surgery and didn't sign the consent form." Su Yun said coldly.

"Yeah, I know." Zheng Ren nodded.

This reaction… a bit… Su Yun immediately realized that the Pediatric Surgery Inpatient Chief must have called earlier.

In his haste, he actually forgot about this.

"Then why the hell did you still do the surgery!" Su Yun snapped.

"We can't just watch them die on the table; the surgery isn't that hard, we only cut 30 cm of intestine." Zheng Ren said indifferently.

Faced with Zheng Ren's attitude, Su Yun felt it was downright lunatic, enough to make one's hair stand on end.

"Director Lin is here, authorized by the Medical Department." Zheng Ren smiled: "Director Lin said at the time, do it! If anything happens, the Medical Department will take responsibility."

Su Yun thought of Lin Ge, who appears cautious and always agrees with everything.

Was that what he said? His character design must have collapsed.

"Sit down, have a smoke." Zheng Ren smiled: "Don't overthink it; behind us is the powerful 912… Medical Department."

After saying that, he glanced at Director Wei and said, "Director Wei, that's what you said, right?"

Director Wei, an old hand, nodded and said, "There's a precedent."

"What precedent?"

"That was seven or eight years ago, also a case in Pediatric Surgery. Back then Director Ye was still a deputy head, specifically in charge of this." Director Wei began to gossip.

"Later the family turned hostile and didn't want the child; Director Ye was really a man, rolled up his sleeves and went in, first got into a fight, then sued them for five straight years, dragging that family to exhaustion, until they finally collapsed."

Director Wei laughed heartily.

People, everyone has a temper. The Medical Department specializes in lawsuits; one more or one less doesn't matter. When encountering unreasonable people, we can always find reasons to convince ourselves, so we just let this go.

At worst we pay some money; it's no big deal, since it's not coming out of our own pockets. This mindset is only human.

But when faced with this situation right now, even a mud figurine would have to be given some backbone—let alone someone like Ye Qingqiu, who is meticulous, decisive, and ruthless…

Su Yun felt somewhat lost.

"Director Lin said, the Medical Department will see this through to the end. No matter how small a pediatric matter, it's a big deal; the hospital clearly shows its support." Director Wei said, "Alas, there aren't enough pediatric doctors; if the hospital eases up, I fear several departments will collapse within three to five years."

This is certainly not alarmist; in many places, pediatric emergency has no one on duty, so they can only quench their thirst by pulling staff from the inpatient department.

And the inpatient department runs three-day shifts, leaving all doctors exhausted.

In this state, the fragile balance could collapse due to the resignation of a single pediatric doctor, directly shutting down pediatric emergency.

Places like 912, where the hospital gives full support, are truly few and far between.

This is a trait of the hospital, a tradition. From the former head of the Medical Department all the way to Ye Qingqiu, they have upheld this spirit.

So, Lin Ge dares to reassure everyone directly in the operating room.

That seems pretty good, too—just hope our own boss doesn't court death.

Su Yun had countless thoughts running through his mind, then suddenly gave a faint smile and said, "Director Wei, you're quite trendy, still wearing stockings."

"……" Since Ye Qingqiu said that, Su Yun couldn't say it.

Director Wei's face dropped.

"That brand of yours isn't good; if I'm not mistaken, it's the cross-shaped one." Su Yun chuckled: "Don't use that, use Germany's Mai Di. Let me tell Fugui'er later; you give me your size and I'll order a few pairs."

"Um……" Director Wei froze for a moment.

Zheng Ren also froze, "Custom-made elastic stockings? Can that even be custom-made?"

Seeing their expressions, Su Yun knew they didn't understand.

"A while ago I chatted with Fugui'er; he mentioned this, saying he wanted to custom-make something for the boss, but I said no need. Wearing it would be…" Su Yun cut himself off, "It's uncomfortable; the boss is still young, we can talk about it in ten or twenty years."

"Mai Di's stuff is expensive; custom-made we can't afford." Director Wei also wasn't convinced.

"Director Wei, do you know how much those spring rings cost when we inserted them for the rectal foreign body that day?"

Director Wei shook his head.

"The German-made research-spec ones cost 100,000 euros each. Fugui'er's side just wrote them off as loss and mailed them to the boss." Su Yun smiled: "If those elastic stockings could reach that price… imagine you wearing them while doing surgery every day in a BMW X5—how cool would that be."

Su Yun's eyes sparkled with little stars; looking at that, he also wanted to get himself an X5 to wear and do Shou Bing.
