Chapter 192: Already at loggerheads, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
“Since everyone has no objections, let’s start the surgery immediately!”
Bai Ji surveyed the room, triumphantly giving the order to begin the operation.
Although the start of this surgery was far from ideal, one could even say it put him in a dire situation.
However, even Bai Ji himself couldn’t help but admire his ability to turn the tide.
Lin Yi and Lu Chenxi, those little rascals, had only been eating for a few days, and they dared to gang up and set a trap for him!
Now look, they shot themselves in the foot, indirectly achieving Bai Ji’s glory in front of so many Expert Professors… and Bai Ji’s triumph didn’t stop there.
Pushing the boat along to fiercely slap Lin Yi and Lu Chenxi was just his first step; even now, performing this surgery, through a series of emphatic statements, he had already placed himself in an invincible position.
The aortic valve replacement would undoubtedly be performed by him, and the credit would be his alone.
As for the coronary artery bypass, this was a plan proposed by Professor Zhuang Shu, a returned overseas scholar.
If the replacement was successful, his share of the credit would not diminish in the slightest; if it failed, Professor Zhuang Shu would naturally bear the responsibility, as he had humbly consulted with the other party from beginning to end, without expressing any related opinions… Precisely, the skin and subcutaneous tissue were incised sequentially, electrocoagulation was used for hemostasis, a rib spreader was installed, the chest cavity was opened, and the surgical field was exposed… It must be said that Department Director Bai Ji of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department performed this series of smooth operations so flawlessly that even Lu Chenxi, who had always been at odds with him, couldn’t find any fault.
At least throughout the entire Central Hospital and even Long Province, Department Director Bai Ji’s title as the top Thoracic Surgery Department specialist was indeed well-deserved.
“Professional, precise…”
“If it weren’t for the system, my greatest achievement in this life would probably be just this!”
Lin Yi nodded secretly as he watched Department Director Bai’s standardized surgical movements.
From the perspective of a professional doctor’s technical skill, Bai Ji definitely belonged to the ranks of top doctors.
However, the way the other party conducted himself and handled matters was something Lin Yi could not agree with… “Since we are already at loggerheads, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Acknowledging the other party’s surgical skill, of course, would not in the least affect Lin Yi’s determination to fight him to the end.
Having lived an extra lifetime, Lin Yi was no longer a naive young man; he couldn’t let a little admiration blind him to his convictions.
Curing his sister’s dilated cardiomyopathy was definitely Lin Yi’s ultimate goal at this stage.
To achieve this goal, Lin Yi would even resort to any means, sacrificing everything for it.
In this process, any stumbling blocks in his path would undoubtedly be kicked away one by one.
Bai Ji, who had always opposed Lin Yi and even wanted to drive him out of the Hospital, was, of course, one of those stumbling blocks… “As expected of the Department Director of Thoracic Surgery in Long Province’s best Grade A Tertiary Hospital, this skill is top-notch even across all of China!”
“A simple aortic valve replacement yields completely different results in the hands of different doctors!”
“A classic Heart surgery comparable to a teaching video, the Central Hospital truly lives up to its reputation as the cradle of medical talent in Long Province!”
“With Lin Yi among the new generation, Department Director Bai among the mature generation, and Old You, an Academician, among the older generation, the Central Hospital’s development potential has been severely underestimated…”
Even the most stringent doctor, consulting a textbook, couldn’t find significant fault with Department Director Bai Ji’s aortic valve replacement surgery on the patient.
Such a classic full surgical process also prompted the Expert Professors in the observation room to exclaim repeatedly… “Director Cui, after returning this time, I plan to suggest that Chang'an Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital establish a broader and deeper exchange mechanism with your Hospital.”
“Excellent doctors like Doctor Lin and Department Director Bai, your Hospital shouldn’t always hide them away; they should participate more in bilateral exchange activities.”
“Good doctors deserve wider recognition…”
Professor Zhong Wei of Changjiao University looked at Director Cui with fervent eyes, extending a most sincere invitation.
Before coming to Long Province Central Hospital, Professor Zhong Wei had proudly believed that Chang'an Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital, where he worked, was undoubtedly a renowned Hospital throughout the Northwest, and even the entire country.
Leading the cutting-edge medical technology in the Northwest Five Provinces and looking down on all other Hospitals in the region was a given… But when he arrived at Long Province Central Hospital, even with the mindset of providing guidance and wanting to give the other party a good lesson.
The appearance of Lin Yi, a remarkably young doctor, delivered a resounding slap to Professor Zhong Wei in his most specialized field, the gallbladder.
It made him realize from the bottom of his Heart how ignorant his pride was.
The other party could effortlessly handle even the field of General Surgery cancer, which he rarely dared to venture into.
How ridiculous and ironic it was that he still claimed to be the top General Surgery specialist in the Northwest Five Provinces.
Through Lin Yi’s surgery, Professor Zhong Wei had thoroughly adjusted his stance and began to re-evaluate the overall medical level of the entire Central Hospital… Who would have thought!
At this moment, Department Director Bai of the Thoracic Surgery Department, in front of him, once again proved with his strength.
Professor Zhong Wei’s understanding of the entire Central Hospital was still not thorough enough, not humble enough.
Lin Yi was very likely just the tip of the iceberg of this Hospital; there were even bigger BOSSes hidden behind, just waiting for a suitable opportunity to be recognized by their peers.
Also a Surgeon, even though their specialized fields were different, Department Director Bai Ji’s skill also greatly shocked Professor Zhong Wei.
In his impression, even the Department Director of Thoracic Surgery at his own Hospital, when performing the same aortic valve replacement surgery, displayed a level that could only be said to be on par with Department Director Bai… It was precisely because of these continuous shocks that Professor Zhong Wei became determined to engage in exchange and cooperation with the other party.
If Changjiao University remained complacent and self-satisfied, being surpassed by the Central Hospital would almost be an obvious outcome.
Professor Zhong Wei, who loved his Hospital like his home, could never stand by and watch the worst possible scenario unfold… “This… I’m sorry, Professor Zhong.”
“This matter is too significant; I must wait for the Director to return and seek his opinion!”
Director Cui looked troubled and did not immediately agree to Professor Zhong Wei’s request.
Although the olive branch offered by the other party was a beautiful thing Director Cui most desired.
However, he knew his own situation; if the cooperation between the two parties was not handled cautiously, the consequences for the Central Hospital could be disastrous… The scale of Long Province and Shaanxi Province were incomparable, and Changjiao University and the Central Hospital were even less comparable.
Compared to the stunning performances of Lin Yi and Bai Ji, the other doctors at the Central Hospital could only be described as mediocre.
But Chang'an Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital was different; it was a renowned star Hospital nationwide.
The endless stream of talent within the Hospital was like fish crossing a river, each generation more outstanding than the last.
Before establishing a very sound cooperation mechanism, rashly engaging in deep cooperation could very likely lead to the Central Hospital being completely devoured by the other party, leaving not even a speck of bone… “Professor Zhuang, it’s up to you now…”
Fortunately, the new developments in the operating room reasonably diverted Professor Zhong Wei’s attention.
This prevented him from getting too entangled in the matter of bilateral cooperation for the time being…
