"Old Song, what are you saying? As colleagues, isn't it normal for us to exchange ideas? Don't talk about guidance or anything like that. We all have the same goal: to overcome medical challenges together."
Li Chu waved his hand dismissively and said.
"Old Li, what do you think are the chances of Old Chang recovering after the surgery?"
"It's hard to say. Although the surgery was successful, postoperative recovery is the most important thing. Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. Go to the VIP ward again later and remind them not to put too much pressure on the comrades. Considering the amount of blood loss that Elder Chang had last night, it's already a remarkable thing that he survived the operation."
siluke.
I will then personally report this to my superiors.
"Yes, I'll go right away. Director, you should go back to your office and rest. If there's anything urgent, I'll send someone to call you."
As fellow members of the Internal Security Committee, Director Song had previously shown Li Chu respect, but that was simply due to their rank. Now, however, things were different; his words clearly revealed a respect for someone who had achieved something, as if he were a teacher to someone who had attained it.
"Well, time waits for no one. I already feel a bit tired after just one night."
Looking at the young face in front of him, and then thinking about his own rural-style hairstyle, Director Song rolled his eyes inwardly. They were the same age, but in terms of appearance, no one would disagree that they were from two different generations.
But appearance is one thing, biological age is another.
Although he also stayed up late last night, he didn't go to the operating table, and he was already feeling tired, let alone Li Chu, who stood in front of the operating table all night.
The two walked out of the conference room together. Director Song headed towards the stairwell, while Li Chu turned and slowly strolled towards another office in the opposite direction.
"director"
Just as I reached the office door, Zhao Zhijun came out of his office.
Li Chu put his hand on the doorknob and turned around to look.
"Old Shen just called and asked you to call him back when you have time."
"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?"
"Also, two documents arrived yesterday afternoon just before the end of the workday. I've already stamped them with your seal, and the detailed reports are on your desk."
"Okay, I'll rest in my office for a while. Don't call me unless it's important."
"yes"
After resting behind his desk for a while, Li Chu picked up the phone and dialed the number.
After making three or four calls, he finally called back Elder Shen.
"Uncle Shen, this is Xiao Chu." The phone was answered after only two rings, and it was Old Master Shen himself who answered it.
...
"Yes, the surgery was quite successful, but I really can't guarantee whether Old Chang will wake up."
...
“I know Uncle Shen. It was because I knew that Elder Chang was your favorite general back then that I volunteered to be the chief surgeon. But that was just in my head.”
...
"Please don't say that. It's what I should do, and I will do my best."
...
"Uncle Shen, you must take good care of yourself."
...
"Okay, if Elder Chang wakes up, I will report to you immediately."
...
After the other end of the phone hung up, Li Chu finally let out a breath and hung up the phone himself. It was true that traditional Chinese medicine doctors could perform surgery; there were indeed records of such procedures. However, those were all minor surgeries. In his lineage of traditional Chinese medicine, surgeries like the craniotomy he was performing were merely theoretical.
Or rather, it was just an idea; he had no memory of actually having that surgery.
The reason he dared to go was thanks to the theoretical knowledge and valuable experience of Western internal medicine and surgery that the system had instilled in him. Without this, he would never have dared to open someone's skull so casually.
After sitting there pondering for a while, he got up, went to the inner room, and lay down on the bed fully clothed.
Ding Qiunan usually sleeps in this inner room, and the room is filled with her scent. This scent makes Li Chu feel very at ease, and he fell into a deep sleep in less than a minute after lying down on the bed.
...
At the same time, news that Li Chu had performed a successful craniotomy in the early hours of the morning had already spread throughout the medical community in Beijing and was gaining momentum.
Office of the Vice President of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital.
"Director Zhou, have you heard about what happened last night?" Vice President Zhang asked, looking at Director Zhou of the Department of Surgery sitting across from him at his desk.
"Are you referring to the rumored story about Director Li performing the surgery?"
"That's it. I just called to ask, and it's true."
Director Zhou glanced at Director Wang of the pediatrics department beside him, then turned back and asked, "Does Director Zhang mean to invite Director Li to participate in the discussion of that child's surgical plan?"
"I kind of meant that. Isn't Elder Tong coming over tomorrow too?"
Director Wang, who was standing nearby, then spoke up: "Director Zhang, I reckon Director Li might not have time. These next two days should be his busiest time."
Director Wang's words immediately reminded Vice President Zhang that he was only thinking about inviting people over to discuss the treatment plan, but what about the patients they had?
Although he doesn't know who the patient is yet, he'll likely find through the health care team that it's definitely not an ordinary patient, and these next few days must be their busiest time.
"Sigh~ Never mind then, let's wait until the surgical plan is ready before asking him to take a look."
Since it's an elective surgery, the hospital naturally wants to arrange everything perfectly, especially for such a major surgery. They want to consider all possible emergencies to reduce the risks during the surgery.
In addition, the patient was such a young child. He had just come into this world and had not yet experienced its beauty, but illness had already struck him.
Vice Dean Zhang and his colleagues hoped to use their knowledge to heal the poor baby as much as possible.
...
When Li Chu opened his eyes again, it was already past three in the afternoon. He had slept for a full five hours, which made him full of energy again.
On the coffee table in the outer room was the food Zhao Zhijun had brought back for him. Li Chu, who was already starving, didn't care that the food was already cold and started slurping it down as soon as he opened the lunchbox.
With a creak, the office door was carefully opened from the outside.
"Director, you're up!"
"Um, is something the matter?"
"Director Song sent someone over to say that Elder Chang has woken up."
Upon hearing this, Li Chu hurriedly put the lunchbox in his hand on the coffee table, grabbed the white coat he had just thrown on the sofa, and walked out.
When did you say that?
"I just arrived without delay."
"Okay, I'll go take a look. You can pack up the lunchbox."
