Chapter 215 Family Consultation (Please Subscribe)

"Hey!~" Seeing Liu Wu turn around and walk into the control room again, the second uncle raised his hand to say something, but the fourth uncle was standing next to him and quickly stopped his hand.

His eyes were fixed on the direction where Fang Ziye was, as if he were scanning something.

Upon seeing this, Liang Xia, the mother, couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Ziye, do you know this director?"

Fang Ziye shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know him. This is the deputy chief physician of Minzu University Hospital. I work at the Central Hospital near my second aunt's house. We're not in the same unit."

To help his uncle and mother understand, Fang Ziye directly brought up his distant second aunt.

My second aunt is like a sister to my mother, and I'm sure my uncles and the others know her.

If they are misunderstood as knowing Director Liu Wu but refusing to help, they will definitely feel resentful, and even Grandma will feel uncomfortable.

Fang Ziye's maternal grandparents doted on her. Her grandfather said, "If Xiaoye says she doesn't know him, then she definitely doesn't know him."

"Little Ye'er has never lied since he was little," Grandpa explained to his two sons with a forced smile.

As people get older and stop managing the household, they tend to become more cautious.

As Grandpa explained it this way, Liu Wu and another middle-aged man, who was also older, walked out of the control room together!

Upon seeing this, another patient's family member immediately went up to ask about the specific situation.

Liu Wu immediately went to the family members and pulled them aside: "Come here for a moment. Regarding your mother's condition, it's quite good now, so..."

Meanwhile, Director Dong of Ba County People's Hospital stood opposite Fang Ziye with some skepticism, first asking with a smile, "Are you all Zhou Ermei's family members?"

“Yes, yes, Director Dong,” the fourth uncle, who was relatively well-educated, quickly replied.

But Director Dong's eyes immediately fell on Fang Ziye, and he didn't leave. He asked, "Dr. Fang, are you also a relative of Zhou Ermei? Is this your grandmother or maternal grandmother?"

"Director Liu Wu just said that he saw you in the department, and I was also surprised."

Director Dong definitely doesn't know Fang Ziye.

Enshi is some distance from Ba County. What happened at Enshi Central Hospital is not a good thing, and many details will not be leaked to outsiders.

However, there is one thing Liu Wu wouldn't lie about: Liu Wu said that Wu Xuanqi from Minzu University Hospital personally said that Fang Ziye's manual repositioning technique was better than Dr. Wu Xuanqi's.

With this comparison, Director Dong, who had met Wu Xuanqi a few times, understood Liu Wu's meaning.

Even if this was just Wu Xuanqi being polite, if Fang Ziye's skills were comparable to his, he might be able to help out today.

Fourth Uncle and the others were at a loss for words again.

Since the matter involved his nephew, he simply kept quiet, but it was inevitable that his heart would be stirred.

One Liu Wu aside, now even Director Dong of the county hospital addresses Fang Ziye with utmost politeness, adding the honorific "you" in his title. Even if it's extremely polite, Fang Ziye must have a reason for others to be so courteous.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't bother to hide his identity: "Director Dong, she's my grandmother. She accidentally tripped and fell."

"I rushed back from Enshi. I was transferred here because I heard from the doctor in the town that you could try to perform manual reduction, Director Dong."

Upon hearing this, Director Dong's eyelids twitched rapidly.

In the end, however, he didn't say much more.

He looked at Zhou Ermei's X-rays; the fracture was relatively simple.

"Um, Dr. Fang, would it be convenient for us to talk in private?" Director Dong came to see Fang Ziye, but not to discuss Zhou Ermei's fracture.

"Would it be convenient for you to lend me your nephew?" Fang Ziye explained that it was his maternal grandmother, so the person who came could not possibly be Fang Ziye's uncle or aunt. Even if it was his maternal uncle, Fang Ziye could be considered his nephew, which was not far off.

Fourth Uncle and the others still did not reply.

When Fang Ziye enrolled in his undergraduate program, his fourth uncle gave him some advice, saying that if he wanted, he could apply to a university specializing in political science and law, but Fang Ziye himself preferred medicine to medicine, which he considered more stable.

But after Fang Ziye completed his undergraduate and then master's degrees, his fourth uncle and his family stopped offering any advice. They simply told him to continue his studies and that if the family couldn't afford the tuition and living expenses, they could call anytime; they always had 20,000 to 30,000 yuan ready.

"Uncle, Mom, Grandpa, I'm going over with Director Dong for a bit."

"The previous patient hasn't come out yet, we might have to wait a little longer..." Fang Ziye explained.

Fourth Uncle and the others waved to Fang Ziye, and after Fang Ziye turned around, they began to exchange glances.

After Fang Ziye arrived, both Liu Wu from Minzu University Hospital and Director Dong from Baxian People's Hospital became a bit strange; their thought processes seemed slightly off.

Director Dong didn't pull Fang Ziye away, but quickly explained his purpose in looking for Fang Ziye.

In other words, they hoped that Fang Ziye could lend a hand and see if it was possible to manually reduce the fracture of the old lady who had broken her leg.

Otherwise, she would have no choice but to go back and lie down and wait for fate.

The speed of recovery and the outcome of recovery are completely different between a properly reduced fracture and an unreduced fracture.

"Director Dong, I understand your suggestion, but is it appropriate for me to operate here?" Fang Ziye asked, looking troubled.

His current status is that of a family member.

The requirement for medical professionals to practice at designated locations is not a joke; conducting medical activities outside of their registered practice locations is illegal.

Director Dong himself is a medical worker, so he should understand what this means. If things are not handled properly, it could affect his entire career.

"Besides, even Director Liu couldn't help, so I might not be able to help either, Director Dong," Fang Ziye explained.

"This is actually easy to handle. I'll call Minzu University Hospital and ask them to submit a consultation application and temporarily register the practice location."

"Dr. Fang, I need your help with this matter. The elderly woman lying inside is my aunt," Director Dong said, revealing his identity.

"Please take a look. If you also say it's inappropriate, then we'll just forget about the repositioning."

After revealing his identity, and with Director Dong personally endorsing him, Fang Ziye hesitated for a few seconds.

"Director Dong, since you've put it that way, then I'll just... learn from the sidelines? But I haven't seen the scans or the patient, so it's hard to say."

"Dr. Fang, you can take a look; it's just that we gave up a favor."

"Please come in."

……

With Director Dong personally leading the way, and being his nephew, Liu Wu had already finished negotiating with the other family members by the time Director Dong and Fang Ziye reached the door.

Even so, a woman who was about the same age as Liu Wu still whispered in his ear, "Dr. Fang looks so young, is he capable?" "Or should we wait for Dr. Wu?"

"What are you saying? I recognized Dr. Fang myself, it's not like Dr. Fang came up to me on his own. Stop talking!" Liu Wu's tone was decisive.

Fang Ziye wouldn't beg to go in for the operation; the person lying inside was his mother-in-law, who was old, had poor underlying health conditions, and couldn't tolerate the surgery.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back.

Doctors are advised to avoid contact with relatives, but there's no other way.

Unfortunately, Wu Xuanqi from the department also had other personal matters to attend to today and couldn't come.

"Brother, do you believe me...?" Liu Wu turned to look at another middle-aged man!
"Okay!" The man, who was probably Liu Wu's brother-in-law, nodded and then looked at Fang Ziye: "Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Fang."

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take care of my mother's condition."

Liu Wu then turned to look at Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye hesitated slightly. Director Dong had finished his call and walked towards Fang Ziye: "Dr. Fang, I have personally confirmed that the Medical Affairs Department has obtained your out-of-town practice registration from the Central Hospital Medical Affairs Department."

"Dr. Fang, please don't refuse this time."

"Hey, wait, what's going on here?" Fang Ziye's fourth uncle was puzzled as the situation became more and more outrageous.

He brought his mother to queue up. Hadn't they already finished their procedures? Why did they have to go in again?

Director Dong was making a phone call to the medical affairs department of his own hospital, hoping that the medical affairs department could contact the medical affairs department of the central hospital. He thought that communicating on behalf of the medical affairs department would be faster and appear more formal.

"Fourth Uncle, don't worry, it's like this..." Fang Ziye then explained...

“Hey!~” Fourth Uncle Liang Renyi fell silent again.

In all my years, I have never seen a patient queuing outside while their family members are taken in to treat the patient. What kind of situation is this?
The second uncle, Liang Renyong, kept his head down, rubbing his hair, still not quite understanding this reversal.

After that, Fang Ziye was led to put on another white coat...

After Fang Ziye entered the operating room, Liang Renyong asked his younger brother, "Ziye, were you taken away to treat that old lady over there?"

"It should be like this." Liang Renyi was neither a doctor nor familiar with hospital procedures, so he found this situation a little difficult to understand.

"Why does this look so funny?"

"Didn't they say Director Liu was highly skilled? We only transferred here because Dr. Ma from the town suggested it, and then this happened?" Liang Renyi almost cursed.

Hey, my nephew is a family member. There are so many doctors in the hospital, why does it have to be him?
He then looked at Liang Xia and asked, "Little sister, what's your family's business?"

The Liang couple shook their heads innocently, their faces full of naivety. How could they have known such a thing would happen?

About five or six minutes later.

Fang Ziye and Liu Wu then came out again. Liu Wu was full of gratitude and clasped his hands in thanks as he left, saying, "Dr. Fang, I can't thank you enough! When I have time, my wife and I will definitely come to your door to express our gratitude in person."

"Are you done?" As soon as the group came out, the woman who had been behaving somewhat intimately with Liu Wu earlier quickly stepped forward to ask.

"The repositioning is done. We'll have a follow-up check-up later. They still have a cast on inside."

After replying, Liu Wu looked at his brother-in-law and said, "Brother, the repositioning is done. It should be successful. Fortunately, we met Dr. Fang, otherwise we would have had to keep waiting. We'll take an X-ray later, and the results should be pretty good."

"Dr. Fang's skills are excellent. Many of his colleagues in Enshi recognize him as such, which is why I invited him," Liu Wu said frankly.

"Dr. Fang, is this really the one?"

"Neither Dr. Wu nor our department director Fu are exaggerating."

"I'm so glad I ran into this today, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to handle this situation."

Seeing Liu Wu's thumbs-up gesture and expression, his brother-in-law quickly smiled and said, "We don't understand this, but if Liu Wu says it's good, then Dr. Fang must be very skilled."

"Dr. Fang, thank you..."

Fang Ziye, while taking off his white coat, said, "Director Liu, you flatter me too much. You almost made me sick with your praise."

"Now that Grandma's repositioning is done, I'll have to trouble you to reposition and treat my maternal grandmother later as well."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wu's eyes flashed: "Dr. Fang, aren't you going to treat your grandmother's fracture yourself?"

"Let's avoid suspicion a little, Director Liu. To be honest, this is my maternal grandmother. She's always been very good to me since I was little. I'm afraid I won't be able to bring myself to do it," Fang Ziye shook his head.

The saying "doctors should avoid practicing with relatives" is true.

Nowadays, Fang Ziye wouldn't hesitate to cut someone. But this was his grandmother, and unless absolutely necessary, he truly couldn't bear to inflict pain on her with his own hands.

Even if this is therapeutic pain.

"My grandmother's fracture isn't too serious, so I'd appreciate it if you could lend a hand, Director Liu." Fang Ziye took off his white coat and folded it slightly.

A doctor from the county hospital nearby quickly took the white coat from Fang Ziye's hand.

Having said that, Liu Wu found it difficult to refuse, as the next step was a very simple procedure...

About fifteen minutes later, Fang Ziye's grandmother was personally pushed out by Liu Wu and Director Dong!

Grandma's face was a little pale from the pain of the repositioning, but her expression had relaxed, probably because the pain had been greatly relieved after the repositioning was completed.

"Director Dong, how did it go? Was it successful?" Liang Renyi quickly asked Director Dong.

Director Dong and Liu Wu exchanged glances before turning to Fang Ziye and saying, "Dr. Fang, the repositioning should be considered successful, but please don't be too demanding. It would be a bit harsh to judge us by your skill level."

They thought they did pretty well, but their operation was not only good but also excellent. However, if Fang Ziye really sees something that is not good enough later, they hope he can understand.

"You two directors are joking. Thank you, directors." Fang Ziye bowed slightly and let out a slow sigh.

"No, Dr. Fang!"

Director Dong smiled and replied, "Brother, now that the repositioning is complete, you can take your aunt down for a follow-up examination. But I'll need to borrow your nephew for a bit."

"Since you've all thanked us, we should also thank you formally in person."

Liang Renyi and the others took the cot from Fang Ziye's grandmother. The group glanced at Fang Ziye, but didn't say much, and simply left Fang Ziye behind.
