Chapter 2478: 2391, What a pity

"Old Lin, the girl is your biological daughter." said the lover of Lin Institute Chief, unhappily.

"Even if she's my biological daughter, I can't do anything about it." Lin Institute Chief gave a wry smile, "The girl wants to go into medicine; later she'll see a lot of dead people, so any kind of split personality won't be a big deal. You know about the incident a while ago where Director Miao of 912 jumped off a building, right? What kind of state does a person have to be driven to, you tell me."

Lin Institute Chief's lover still wasn't reassured; she tiptoed to Lin Yuan's door and peeked several times. Seeing Lin Yuan holding a guidewire, continuously practicing TIPS surgery, so focused that he didn't seem to have any psychological trauma or depression, she finally felt a little relieved.

"You useless old thing, you can't even control your own daughter." complained Lin Institute Chief's lover.

"Who could possibly control her..."

Speaking of this, Lin Institute Chief suddenly recalled Zheng Ren's figure.

If it were Zheng Lao Ban, maybe it could work. What a pity, Zheng Lao Ban already has a girlfriend. Pah pah pah, what am I thinking!

"Old Lin, do you think split personality is just an act?" whispered Lin Institute Chief's lover.

"I don't know. But many people escape reality." Lin Institute Chief said, "The girl just mentioned Zheng Lao Ban's judgment; I think it's somewhat reliable. To escape reality, she imagines a mundane, unremarkable life. Even if material conditions are a bit worse, having no illness or disaster, just drinking a bit each day, is quite comfortable and carefree."

"People only realize how good it is to be healthy after they get sick." sighed Lin Institute Chief's lover.

"Don't think about those things; living well is better than anything." Lin Institute Chief rebuked, "Who can go through life without illness or disaster? While there's no trouble, live well, be happy. When that day comes, just have no regrets."

"You say that!" Lin Institute Chief's lover glared at him and said, "All I want is to hold a grandchild."

"Find someone for the girl, stop always daydreaming at home." Lin Institute Chief said.

"With so many doctors and master's degree holders in your hospital, can't you find a suitable one?"

"You don't understand." Lin Institute Chief said, "Five years for undergrad, three years for master's, three years for doctorate; if master's and doctorate are continuous, it's five years. You say, after high school you still need ten years of hard study. This is already almost thirty; at twenty-seven or twenty-eight you still have to do residency. If you really want to stay in our hospital, at the very least you'd have to go abroad to gild your résumé."

"Going back and forth already puts you in your thirties, and this is just the beginning."

"Isn't there you?" said Lin Institute Chief's lover.

"Useless, which team-leading professor doesn't have people behind them? These youngsters all want to climb up, everyone's eyes are bloodshot. If I dared to promote someone who doesn't meet the requirements, they'd be publicly reported the next day." Lin Institute Chief said: "Nowadays, research fraud isn't easy either; the national research fund... that's the reserved turf of the academic elites. Unless it's someone like Zheng Lao Ban who can casually get funding, others find it hard to get even one or two projects."

"By the way, a few days ago I saw news that an academician publicly accused someone else of academic fraud?"

"Yeah, there's more to it; if I explained, you wouldn't understand." Lin Institute Chief didn't want to talk more about this, brushed it off with "you wouldn't understand," and quickly changed the topic: "I don't advise the girl to look for a partner at the hospital; it's meaningless. The suitable age group still has a year as inpatient chief; that period can't be endured."

"I also don't have anything suitable around me; our girl's education is too high. When I mention a Harvard-returned PhD, most just hum and haw in agreement, then nothing follows." sighed Lin Institute Chief's lover.

Everyone says there are three types of people; female PhDs are one kind of oddball, let alone a female PhD who returned from a top-tier global university.

Back then we worried she'd suffer abroad, so we insisted she come back no matter what. But after returning, there's still a pile of worries.

The old couple sat face to face, sighing.

"What do you think of young Zheng Lao Ban?" Lin Institute Chief's lover suddenly asked.

"She already has a girlfriend, brought from Hai Cheng; don't even think about it." Lin Institute Chief also felt a bit wistful.

It's really a pity; if young Zheng Lao Ban were single, all sorts of conditions would really match.

Though still young, he's already a chief physician and professor, and he has a Nobel Prize project in hand; any one of those would be impressive.

Our girl usually shows no deference to anyone, but whenever she mentions young Zheng Lao Ban, her eyes light up with stars.

Is this a match of families or talented man and beautiful woman? It's really a pity, Lin Institute Chief thought to himself.

Whatever was playing on the TV, the old couple had no mind to watch; each was lost in their own thoughts.

"Dad, Mom, I'm washing up and going to sleep."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan finished practicing TIPS surgery on a 3D-printed simulated person, his mood slightly elevated, he swayed his ponytail as he went to wash up.

"Rest early, don't overwork yourself." said Lin Institute Chief's lover with concern.

"I fall asleep as soon as I lie down, not even dreaming, I'm so exhausted." Lin Yuan said, "By the way, Dad, the 3D-printed model is excellent; I strongly suggest your hospital also buy one."

"How much does a whole system cost? The key is, even with money you can't buy it. Yours isn't also a Women and Children's Hospital..."

Lin Institute Chief hadn't finished speaking when Lin Yuan cut him off.

"Who said that? Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er bought a set, placed it at the community hospital." Lin Yuan said, "With the model, they change a set of abrasive tools every week; foreign doctors coming for training also get a set each. It's said the training fee will even go up."

Lin Institute Chief stared, stunned—Zheng Lao Ban privately bought something worth tens of millions of dollars? Never mind anything else, just the speed at which he amasses wealth is astonishing.

When foreign doctors come for training, Lan Ke offers astronomical training fees; any doctor of some standing in the capital knows about this.

Not long ago it seemed one person was 800,000 euros, and now it's going up even more—this young Zheng Lao Ban's mindset is truly dark, Lin Institute Chief felt with great emotion.

One shouldn't think about this; the more you ponder, the more you want to have him as a son-in-law living in the family.

Just that,

What a pity.

……

……

912, Emergency Department, a 27- or 28-year-old female patient clutching her abdomen was pushed in on a stretcher.

Zhou Litao began the physical exam, completing various tests.

But when the patient's imaging data came back, he stared at the computer, dumbfounded.

The patient definitely has a problem in the bile duct; there's a space-occupying lesion that almost blocks the duct. If untreated, jaundice will soon appear. That lesion isn't a tumor, but Zhou Litao can't even say exactly what it is.

No choice; if we can't understand it, we definitely need a consultation. Normally, the hepatobiliary surgery department would take the patient. After all, the problem is mainly in the bile duct; how to handle it specifically has nothing to do with Zhou Litao.

Never mind if it's the middle of the night, forget sleeping—everyone come to the Emergency Department for a quick huddle.

One by one, phone calls were made to summon the relevant department staff for a consultation.
