56: If you want to steal the credit from your subordinates, at least have some shame!
Chapter 056: Stealing credit? Have some shame!
“Wait a moment…”
Seeing the Nurse about to push the patient to the observation room, Lu Chenxi had no choice but to brace herself and step forward to stop her.
“Uncle, I have some very bad news for you.”
“I hope you don’t get too agitated after hearing it; we can discuss everything to find a solution.”
When it was time to speak, Lu Chenxi could only first soothe the patient’s emotions, hoping he was mentally prepared…
“Girl, speak. I can handle it.”
“Did something happen to my wife?”
Wang Youcai’s Heart sank.
The joy of saving his severed foot instantly vanished without a trace.
What he worried about most was that his wife, in her anxiety and fear, might suffer another mishap. That would be troublesome…
“Something did indeed happen with your wife.”
Lu Chenxi followed his lead.
Couples really know each other well; she hadn’t even spoken, and the patient had already guessed the outcome.
“Is my wife seriously ill? Is she hospitalized?”
“She already has a Heart condition; she can’t handle a fright!”
“It’s all my fault! I caused all this trouble for no reason…”
Wang Youcai was consumed with anxiety, struggling to get off the bed.
“Don’t move!”
“Are you giving up on your foot…?”
Lin Yi rushed forward, loudly warning Wang Youcai and pressing him back onto the bed.
The Limb Replantation surgery itself was fine, but it couldn't withstand the patient's antics…
“I won’t move, I won’t move…”
“Could Doctor Lin please tell my wife quickly?”
“I’m already fine, the surgery was very successful. Tell her not to worry at all…”
Wang Youcai pleaded, gripping Lin Yi’s hand. His biggest fear had still come true.
He would rather not recover himself than have his wife live in fear.
“I haven’t even finished speaking, why are you getting so anxious?”
“Your wife is perfectly fine, nothing at all happened to her.”
Wang Youcai’s reaction, on the contrary, startled Lu Chenxi.
She quickly spoke to comfort him and clear up the misunderstanding between them.
“What I meant was, your wife is very firm; she absolutely refuses the direct bandaging surgical plan.”
“If it really comes down to it, you’ll have to make a call yourself and explain it to your wife.”
“Otherwise, in this current situation…” Lu Chenxi glanced again at the patient’s bandaged right foot.
Her face was so bitter it looked like it could drip water.
“I really don’t know how to explain this to your wife!”
With the surgery already done, Lu Chenxi wished she could slap herself twice.
She had truly acted with good intentions but caused trouble, and now she couldn’t even explain herself… In her exasperated state, she even glared fiercely at Lin Yi.
This guy wanted to show off his suturing skills, but he also needed to understand some rules.
If he had just waited a few more minutes, she wouldn’t have been put in such a difficult position.
Now, Lu Chenxi only hoped that the patient’s family would be understanding.
If they pursued this, classifying it as a medical accident wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all!
“Phew…”
Wang Youcai let out a long breath, finally feeling relieved.
“Doctor, you’re scaring people with such dramatic pauses!”
“My wife just worries for nothing; you don’t need to pay attention to her.”
“Anyway, my foot is already fine. I’ll tell her myself once I get to the ward.”
After hearing that his wife was fine, Wang Youcai again adopted an indifferent attitude towards women.
This scene made all the medical staff in the operating room want to laugh.
This patient, Wang Youcai, was practically the quintessential example of Chinese male chauvinism.
He clearly loved his wife to death in his Heart, but his words were unyielding…
“I think it’s better if we clarify things.”
“If your wife asks, just say it was me. Oh, I’m Lu Chenxi.”
Lu Chenxi felt it was still not foolproof and had to remind the patient again.
“It was I who decided not to perform the Limb Replantation surgery on you…”
“I am the chief surgeon for this operation, and all responsibility will be borne by me.”
The mistake had been made, and Lu Chenxi didn’t want the situation to escalate further.
Lin Yi’s unauthorized suturing, after all, occurred after she and the patient had agreed on a new surgical plan.
His thought of being considerate to the patient and sparing him some suffering was understandable.
As for Lin Yi’s severely non-compliant way of doing things, Lu Chenxi would give him a strict critique and education after the surgery.
If she didn’t extricate the student from this incident, given Lin Yi’s qualifications, the least he would face would be expulsion…
Hearing Lu Chenxi say this, all the medical staff present quietly lowered their heads.
It was obvious that the chief surgeon hadn’t yet understood the situation and had misunderstood the specific surgical plan used for the patient.
But now, even if they had a hundred times more courage, they wouldn’t dare to speak up and explain.
Lin Yi, being new, not understanding the rules, was barely excusable.
But for these veterans of the operating room to follow along in the mischief, they would be scolded to death by Dr. Lu and would have to endure it…
“Teacher Lu, you…”
Lin Yi was about to explain to Lu Chenxi that she might have misunderstood the surgical plan.
However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by the patient’s loud voice.
“Responsibility?”
“What responsibility is Doctor Lu taking on?!”
Wang Youcai’s face suddenly darkened, and he began to loudly scold Lu Chenxi.
“I’ve heard Hospitals are corrupt, but I never thought they could be this corrupt!”
“I can tell you’re the leader of these Doctors.”
“But for you to so brazenly steal Doctor Lin’s credit, I’m the first one who won’t agree!”
“I won’t blame you for not reattaching my toe; after all, every Doctor has their own area of expertise.”
“But Doctor Lin’s medical skills are superb, and he reattached my toe. You can’t be so envious as to steal his credit, can you?”
“With so many people watching, you should at least have some shame!”
The straightforward Wang Youcai couldn’t stand by and watch an honest person be wronged.
Moreover, the Doctor Lin in front of him had reattached his toe, preventing him from becoming a despised cripple.
For Wang Youcai, it was nothing short of a life-saving grace!
These Doctors, out of concern for their reputation or fear of their superiors making things difficult for them, were all like quails, hanging their heads and daring not to speak.
But Wang Youcai wouldn’t stand for that.
The barefoot aren’t afraid of the shod; at worst, they’d go down fighting.
In today’s society, only by making a big fuss can the truest voices be heard.
This was valuable experience Wang Youcai had summarized from watching many short videos…
Whoa!
Listening to the patient’s loud reprimand, which left no room for politeness.
All the medical staff in the operating room looked up in astonishment, dumbfounded.
This misunderstanding was getting worse with every attempt to clarify, becoming utterly inexplicable.
Everyone was very worried about what irrational reaction the enraged Lu Chenxi might have.
“It’s over…”
Lin Yi secretly thought, 'This is bad,' and felt like dying.
He truly hadn’t expected the uncle in front of him to be so fierce.
“Teacher Lu, I…”
Lin Yi immediately spoke up, about to explain to Lu Chenxi.
“Lin Yi, tell me the truth!”
“After the patient’s severed finger reattachment, what is the survival rate?”
Lu Chenxi directly interrupted Lin Yi, looking into his eyes and asking seriously.
“One hundred percent!” Lin Yi replied with certainty.
“And after the surgery, the blood vessels, nerves, tendons, etc., were all inspected with the cooperation of the Teachers on site, and there were no problems.”
Afraid that Teacher Lu wouldn’t believe him, Lin Yi even brought up all the medical staff to vouch for him.
“Doctor Lin is right!”
“This was a very perfect severed finger reattachment surgery!”
Looking at Lu Chenxi’s sharp gaze, the medical staff present nodded repeatedly in confirmation.
“Look at the mess you’ve made!”
“I’ll deal with you later!”
Glaring at Lin Yi, Lu Chenxi left him with a puzzling remark.
Then, Lu Chenxi quickly left the operating room…
