Chapter 2223: with translation of chapter title

Looking at Lin Yuan lying on the sofa, not even taking off his outer coat, Lin Yuanzhang and his spouse gazed at each other wordlessly.

After a full minute of silence, Lin Yuanzhang's spouse finally complained, "Old Lin, what on earth are you guys doing?!"

Lin Yuanzhang also felt helpless, sighing. "Our own children are children, and so are others' children. If we don't do it this way, how can we ever finish the work?"

I keep saying he shouldn't study medicine, but this kid insists on learning.

"Look at how exhausted the child is." Lin Yuanzhang's spouse said heartbrokenly, "After coming back, he's been home every day, working straight for 72 hours—can't you hospital treat doctors like humans?!"

"..." Lin Yuanzhang said sheepishly, "It's because of 912."

"You're no better!" Lin Yuanzhang's spouse shouted, "When you were young, you relied on your good health, working night shifts until five or six in the evening, then going to play basketball, refusing to come home. Don't think I've forgotten—I've got it all written down in the notebook."

"That's not just youthful fooling around." Lin Yuanzhang muttered in defense.

If he hadn't spoken, it would have been fine, but retorting with a sentence, Lin Yuanzhang endured the next five minutes as if baptized by a raging storm.

His spouse has an excellent memory, recalling every little detail from their youth. Mainly, she remembers all the mistakes Lin Yuanzhang made, as long as she considers them mistakes.

One by one, they brought them out, pouring all the pent-up frustration from worrying about Lin Yuan and holding anger inside onto Lin Yuanzhang.

No wonder women have a lower rate of senile dementia than men. While listening, Lin Yuanzhang muttered complaints to himself.

Holding a grudge like that, getting senile dementia would be strange.

After a few minutes passed, seeing that his spouse still hadn't mentioned marriage, Lin Yuanzhang felt quite pleased. He hurriedly interjected in a low voice, "The child is asleep; don't wake her."

Only then did Lin Yuanzhang's spouse realize she had been just venting her anger; she gave Lin Yuanzhang a fierce glare. Turning to look at Lin Yuan, seeing her sleeping soundly, she sighed and quietly went to boil water.

"Old Lin, take off the girl's socks." Lin Yuanzhang's spouse assigned the task.

"Mm." Lin Yuanzhang readily accepted.

Really, Zheng Lao Ban's Medical Team has high technical skill, but this is just too damn busy.

But the hospital exploits resident physicians to the bone, while being relatively lenient toward its own doctors. After all, resident physicians work at most a year, whereas the hospital's own doctors work a lifetime.

Those bastards actually treat my daughter like a resident physician; I'll definitely find time to harshly scold that bunch of old dogs from 912.

Lin Yuanzhang thought resentfully, gently taking off Lin Yuan's socks.

A basin of foot-washing water was brought over; Lin Yuanzhang's spouse tested the temperature and whispered, "Old Lin, check if it's hot."

"Not hot."

"Is it cold?"

"Not cold."

"Can't you put a little heart into it!" Lin Yuanzhang's spouse flared up again in anger.

"Very thoughtful, very thoughtful. The foot-washing water you boiled is just the right temperature, full of maternal care." Lin Yuanzhang said hurriedly.

Only then did Lin Yuanzhang's spouse satisfy herself, letting Lin Yuanzhang off the hook, grabbing a small stool and placing it in front of the sofa, then soaking Lin Yuan's feet in the warm water.

The posture is a bit awkward, but the girl is sleeping soundly, so we can only make do.

"Old Lin, seriously, think of a solution." Lin Yuanzhang's spouse said, "Look at how exhausted the girl has been lately—she doesn't even act like a child anymore."

"Sigh." Lin Yuanzhang sighed, "This is a special situation; there shouldn't be any more instances of working straight 72 hours outside."

"What special situation?"

"912 took in a college student with acute liver failure who needs an emergency liver transplant." Lin Yuanzhang explained the whole story in detail.

"The deceased's child has congenital heart disease; every hospital in Europe refused surgery because the risk is too high, basically unsolvable. This isn't something Zheng Lao Ban could do? After learning of this, Zheng Lao Ban didn't say a word and flew straight over to perform the surgery." Lin Yuanzhang said.

"I just feel weird about it."

"What do you know? I'm planning to have the girl learn this procedure. Guess how much it costs to do once in Europe?" Lin Yuanzhang asked.

"How would I know."

"Supposedly a standard one costs around 300,000 euros. Like the one Zheng Lao Ban performed yesterday—regardless of outcome, the surgery fee is 500,000 euros. If the girl learns it, she won't have to take call, and there won't be much emergency work either." Lin Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"That sounds not bad—good money and free time. Old Lin, how high is the risk?" Lin Yuanzhang's spouse gently lifted the warm water and poured it over Lin Yuan's feet, asking worriedly.

"Definitely high. However, few people know this technique, so we can simply select stable patients for the surgery." Lin Yuanzhang said, "Moreover, we need to find patients with few family matters and expectations… that can be repeatedly instructed, lowering their expectations."

Lin Yuanzhang's spouse said nothing, just put both of Lin Yuan's feet in the water and gently massaged them.

"I'm saying, you haven't massaged my feet in 12 years." Lin Yuanzhang complained.

"You old immortal, what gives you the right to ask me to massage your feet? Besides, it's only been 11 years and 3 months, not 12." Lin Yuanzhang's spouse said.

Lin Yuanzhang knew that arguing about this with his spouse was pointless, so he immediately dropped the topic.

"Flying to Yingguo—was that to perform this surgery?" Lin Yuanzhang's spouse continued asking.

"Mm, the surgery was done quickly. Zheng Lao Ban's technique is mature; for surgeries others dare not touch, he… really has guts." Lin Yuanzhang empathized, feeling that even if he could do it, he would absolutely not fly to Yingguo to perform a surgery nobody else would dare to do.

"Was it successful?"

"It was successful; Zheng Lao Ban's skill is not bad." Lin Yuanzhang rarely gave praise.

"Can the girl appear on TV?"

"I'm telling you, can't you stop always talking about being on TV?" Lin Yuanzhang said, "News interviews, 912 joining forces with top-tier hospitals worldwide—this kind of thing is……"

Lin Yuanzhang certainly knows the various fluff in news publicity, but when he tried to mutter a couple of complaints, he couldn't say anything.

World-top surgery: during the liver transplant, the patient's heart suddenly stopped, yet rescue and surgery proceeded without delay—the difficulty here increased enormously. After completing the liver transplant, he immediately flew to Yingguo to perform an Intracardiac Intervention Surgery.

Emphasizing both humanistic care and surgical skill, if it were our hospital's doctors doing the bragging, they'd surely surpass what 912 has done.

Although our own girl is exhausted to the point of heartache, Lin Yuanzhang is increasingly inclined to have Lin Yuan stay in the Medical Team.

If she learns Intracardiac Intervention Surgery, she will definitely be assigned academic hegemony‑level tasks.

Even if Zheng Lao Ban is still above… he's a pioneering monster, and this can't be compared.

Moreover, Intracardiac Intervention Surgery has many benefits.

From everyone's perspective, the surgery doesn't require taking call, is usually Outpatient, and there's no need to rush.

From a moral standpoint, one could even say it's heavenly flowers falling in chaos.

Indeed, previously Lin Yuan would think to say that whenever someone mentioned her, she'd say she's the daughter of Lin Yuanzhang, the tumor specialist of Di Du. If she masters it, then when she speaks of herself in the future, she'll say, "I'm the father of Professor Lin, who specializes in Intracardiac Intervention Surgery."

Very beautiful, very beautiful.
