106: Chapter 106 Even if the visitors are hostile, we still need to reason with them.
10:00 AM.
News from the Medical Affairs Department arrived.
Section Chief He Zhongfeng had called the Provincial Peoples Hospital yesterday afternoon, proactively suggesting adding a "Typical Case Discussion" agenda to the consultation and exchange session.
And the typical case he recommended.
Was none other than Zhou Desheng's loculated pericardial effusion.
On the surface, this was a normal academic discussion.
After all, this case was indeed worth discussing.
But in reality.
Anyone could see that this was a stage set for Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao.
To have a provincial-level Puncture expert critique a Puncture procedure performed by a Resident Physician.
If Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao could find academic faults.
Then Lu Chen's reputation would take a hit.
Along with the Emergency Operating Room that President Zeng Dayang was pushing for, and the card that was Lu Chen, would all be weakened.
When Director Li Sen learned of this news in his office, he remained silent for a long while.
Zhao Yaqin knocked and entered.
"Director Li, have you heard about Section Chief He Zhongfeng's move?"
"I have heard."
"What do you think?"
"If he wants to discuss it, let him discuss it. The case itself can withstand any discussion."
"But Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao is coming with ill intentions."
"Even with ill intentions, he still needs to be reasonable. If he wants to nitpick academically, he must provide academic evidence. If he cannot, then it is he who will lose face, not Lu Chen."
Zhao Yaqin thought for a moment.
"Then does Lu Chen need to do any preparation?"
"No need for deliberate preparation. He just needs to have his operation process and basis for judgment ready. He has already written the paper, the line of reasoning is very clear, so he just needs to state it as it is when the time comes."
"Understood."
After Zhao Yaqin left, she relayed this situation to Lu Chen.
After listening, Lu Chen only said two words.
"Understood."
His expression was exactly the same as usual.
Zhao Yaqin looked at him, feeling something indescribable in her heart.
This young man's psychological resilience did not seem like that of a twenty-four-year-old.
...
In the afternoon.
An acute gastric perforation patient arrived at the Emergency Department.
Lu Chen assisted Zhao Yaqin in completing the initial assessment and preoperative preparation.
The patient was pushed into the Emergency Operating Room, and a doctor from the General Surgery Department came to be the primary surgeon.
Lu Chen served as the First assistant.
The surgery went very smoothly, gastric perforation repair plus peritoneal lavage.
Post-surgery, Lu Chen helped with the Suturing, the old routine, perfect level operation.
The primary surgeon from the General Surgery Department lowered his head to look at the Suturing effect.
"Dr. Lu, I have truly seen your handiwork now."
"You flatter me."
"I am not flattering you. I am thinking about whether to hand over our department's Suturing training to you to lead."
"If a Resident Physician like me goes to lead your department's training, won't your director beat me up?"
"That wouldn't happen, but it is indeed a bit against the rules."
"Then forget it."
The primary surgeon smiled and said nothing more.
This surgery brought Lu Chen some experience points, but because he was not the primary surgeon, the bonus was not high.
In the evening.
When Lu Chen was resting in the Duty Room, his phone rang once.
It was a text message from an unfamiliar number.
No, it was a WeChat message.
Shen Yu.
[Shen Yu: Dr. Lu, the matter regarding the Orphanage roof has been arranged. The materials will be delivered next week. I will provide the manpower and materials, you don't need to spend a penny.]
Lu Chen took a look.
[Lu Chen: Thanks, I'll remember this favor.]
[Shen Yu: Don't talk about favors. That moment you stood in front of me at the Guangfu Hospital was worth more than anything.]
[Shen Yu: Also, I saw what that doctor from the Provincial Hospital said online. Do you want me to help you handle it?]
Lu Chen knew what Shen Yu meant by "handle".
[Lu Chen: No need, I can handle this kind of thing myself.]
[Shen Yu: Alright, let me know if you need anything anytime.]
Lu Chen exited the chat.
He had never delved deep into Shen Yu's background, but from various signs, it was definitely not simple.
Being able to partner with social figures like Long Poshan to do business, and Shen Xiaoning being able to get a formal establishment position in a Grade A tertiary Hospital right after graduation.
This family's influence is not small.
However, these had nothing to do with him.
He only needed to do his best with his technology and do what he should do well.
The rest, let nature take its course.
...
At eight o'clock in the evening.
Director Li Sen sent an email.
[I have finished reviewing the final draft of the paper, it is very good, it can be submitted. I will handle the submission process, you wait for news. Also, participate in tomorrow's consultation and exchange as normal, wear your white coat, and have your work badge ready.]
Lu Chen replied with a "Received".
The paper was submitted.
This matter made him feel more at ease than any trending topic on the internet.
Because the paper was a concrete academic achievement.
It was something written on paper, printed in a journal, and something no one could deny.
He closed his email and took a look at the system panel.
The remaining time on the enhancement card was more than four days.
He did not know what would happen at tomorrow's consultation and exchange.
But he was not anxious.
Because he understood one thing clearly.
In this world, strength is the only hard currency.
No matter what Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao says.
No matter what little tricks Section Chief He Zhongfeng pulls.
No matter how Vice President Peng Zhao operates behind the scenes.
Those operations Lu Chen had performed, those people he had saved, not one of them could be fake.
The phone lit up one last time.
Shen Xiaoning.
[Shen Xiaoning: Dr. Lu, I heard an expert from the Provincial Hospital is coming for a consultation tomorrow. Is it the person online who was talking about you?]
[Lu Chen: Yes]
[Shen Xiaoning: Will you be attending?]
[Lu Chen: Yes]
[Shen Xiaoning: Then I will go cheer for you!]
[Lu Chen: No need, just go to your shift as normal]
[Shen Xiaoning: But I am worried about you]
[Lu Chen: There is nothing to worry about]
[Shen Xiaoning: You are always like this, saying everything is nothing]
[Lu Chen: Because it really is nothing]
[Shen Xiaoning: Alright, then you must be handsome tomorrow! The kind with full aura! Let that Dr. Chen know how amazing you are!]
[Lu Chen: I am handsome every day]
[Shen Xiaoning: !!! You actually know how to say things like this!!!]
[Shen Xiaoning: Screenshot taken, screenshot taken, saved!]
[Lu Chen: Good night]
[Shen Xiaoning: Hahahaha good night good night! Good luck tomorrow!]
Lu Chen flipped his phone over.
Closed his eyes.
The information from today swirled in his mind one last time.
Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao, Provincial Peoples Hospital, Cardiology Department, Associate Chief Physician.
Section Chief He Zhongfeng, Medical Affairs Department, one of Vice President Peng Zhao's people.
Zhou Desheng's case was taken for a typical discussion.
Everything was converging in one direction.
Tomorrow.
It will be very interesting.
He turned over.
Fell asleep in three seconds.
