Chapter 294 Extra 14: Try to out-steady your hands with me; even a year of practice won't make
"Tch! Little brat, how many surgeries have you performed? You really think you're an expert?"
"Wanting to get ahead? I understand. Just because you studied abroad doesn't make you any better than others!"
"These young people nowadays, they really don't know their place. She even dared to snatch a surgery that Director Zhu didn't want to perform..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, they're really like calves that aren't afraid of tigers!"
The crowd broke their silence and turned their attention to me. Tch! They were all cowering like turtles before, but now that someone's spoken up, they're spouting all sorts of sarcastic remarks!
Let's see what you're capable of! If you're so good, then take on some jobs!
A female military doctor, Xie Minhua, who was two years older than me, stood up and said, "Dean Zhou, this surgery concerns our hospital's reputation. Why don't we hire a foreign expert to perform it? Comrade Xiao Tong is young and inexperienced. If something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?"
"I'm the surgeon, so of course I'll take responsibility! Can you guarantee that bringing in a foreign expert will ensure a flawless surgery for the patient?" I asked her directly.
"Who can guarantee that the surgery will be foolproof? Aren't you just making things difficult?" Xie Minhua didn't dare to insist anymore.
Xie Minhua was also a worker-peasant-soldier college student. It is said that her family has some connections. Her professional skills are average. I don't know how she became an attending physician!
I don't have any grudges against her, but I don't know what's wrong with this woman; she's always been somewhat hostile towards me. Is it because of the repulsion between women? Or is it because I look younger and prettier than her?
This woman's jealousy really comes out of nowhere!
"Why would I make an argument? This surgery isn't particularly difficult. Everyone knows what the concerns are. Whoever wants to do it can do it; I can be your assistant!"
"Xiao Tong, look at what you're saying! I'm doing this for your own good! This patient isn't an ordinary person. If the surgery goes wrong, you won't be able to stay in this hospital..." Xie Minhua's words carried a hint of threat.
"Whether the patient is an ordinary person or not is irrelevant to me. What I look at is the symptoms and the patient's physical condition. Based on my own abilities, I judge that I have an 80% success rate in performing this surgery!"
I had no intention of showing off through this surgery, nor did I need to cultivate any relationship with the patient. Whether or not I'm scheduled for surgery is entirely up to my superiors!
I sat down and looked around at the doctors who were participating in the consultation. Apart from a few who just wanted to watch the excitement, I also saw a few genuinely worried eyes that were concerned for me.
"Dr. Tong, please explain your surgical plan so we can discuss it further!" Dean Zhou said.
He would rather his soldiers be like me, daring to face difficulties, than have them worry too much and take personal gains and losses too seriously.
"If Dr. Tong is the surgeon, I'm willing to be her assistant!" Lu Yunming said after hearing my explanation.
"I object! Dr. Tong, the process you described is simply impossible to complete in such a short time. Are you sure your hand is that steady?"
Xie Minhua jumped out to object, knowing that if I performed this surgery well, I would be seen differently by the hospital leaders and would be given special attention.
"Oh, shall we have a contest? Let's see who has the steady hand? How many tumor removal surgeries does Dr. Xie perform a year?" This question made her blush. Everyone knew that she always chose to do the simple surgeries, and when she encountered complicated ones, she would ask outside help to take credit.
I'm not afraid of offending her. You want to out-steady your hands with me? You couldn't beat me even if you practiced for a hundred years!
I have participated in numerous medical aid operations overseas. What kind of complicated situations haven't I seen? I have performed almost every type of surgery and am particularly skilled in treating external injuries.
"What kind of attitude is this? How can we use patients as a basis for comparison? This is a matter of your professional ethics for life!" Xie Minhua was a little annoyed.
"Don't throw accusations around! I'm saying that compared to you, using rabbits and mice is the same, who said using patients? If you're so capable, you do it yourself; if not, shut up! Does contradicting me demonstrate your professionalism?"
"Alright, alright, this is a consultation, not a place for you to argue. Dr. Xie, watch your attitude!" Dean Zhou interrupted our argument.
The surgery was scheduled, with me as the lead surgeon and Lu Yunming assisting. Xie Minhua even went to the patient's family to stir up trouble, saying that I was a novice and lacked skill, and wanted the patient's family to reject my application.
She also said that she could contact top experts abroad and ask them to perform the surgery. Of course, the cost would be much higher, but patients with her background and status are not short of money!
She assumed the patient's family would follow her wishes, but the patient himself was very clear-headed. He refused to invite foreign experts, fearing they might harm him, and insisted that I, a young doctor, perform the surgery.
Now, Xie Minhua won't be able to earn any kickbacks, and her plan to use this opportunity to get close to the leader and gain their favor has also fallen through!
Some doctors like Xie Minhua, leveraging their connections with international medical organizations, can arrange for "flying surgeons" to operate internationally, incurring costs several times or even ten times higher. They reap considerable benefits from this. At the very least, they gain favor with the patients!
It's not that no one has contacted me. As a doctor who studied abroad, it would be easier for me to make these contacts. But I can't stand their sycophantic and profit-driven attitude, so I refused!
Besides, I'm not short of money! My eldest sister has given us plenty of financial support. And there's Xiao Wu, who owns a mine in South America that we sisters have shares in. The annual dividends are enough for me to live comfortably and do nothing!
The surgery was extremely successful, and Lu Yunming cooperated very well. As a result, the hospital began to perform most of the complex tumor resection surgeries by the two of us.
Sometimes I was the surgeon, sometimes he was, and sometimes we were even invited together to work as visiting experts in nearby cities. Our relationship grew better and better.
Lu Yunming confessed his feelings to me, and I didn't refuse, so we went public with our relationship. However, because of this, we stopped performing the same surgeries together and started mentoring different college student interns, keeping us extremely busy.
Xie Minhua is always causing me trouble, but when it comes to skills, interpersonal relationships, or setting traps, she's no match for me!
We have a group of martial arts master sisters! And a cousin who seems gentle and refined on the surface, but is actually cunning and treacherous!
They caught Xie Minhua with evidence of accepting bribes and issuing false medical certificates, and sent her to the police station!
It was only then that I realized there was a reason why she was targeting me: she liked Lu Yunming and had been trying to win him over for years without success, while I had attracted his attention as soon as I arrived. No wonder she was targeting me!
Lu Yunming, why don't you nip this rotten romance in the bud yourself? You're just causing me so much trouble! And you want to meet my parents? No way, you haven't passed my test yet, indefinite postponement!
Lu Yunming felt wronged. He had rejected Xie Minhua's advances long ago, before Yuling was assigned to the hospital! He thought it was all in the past!
"Yuling, you have to believe me! How was I supposed to know this madman would target you! Don't worry, I promise I won't get involved with any bad relationships in the future. Or should I write you a guarantee?"
"What's the point of writing that stuff? People always change..."
"People change, feelings change, and environments change, but I will become a better fit for you, and I will make our lives happier and more wonderful. Please trust me this once, okay?"
"Okay! I believe you!" Hehe, I'm not afraid of you turning bad and causing trouble, I have plenty of confidence!
From then on, I gained a like-minded partner, and the next few decades of my life were busy and fulfilling!
