Chapter 273 The Mastery of Surgery (Part 2, please subscribe)

Although Wu Xuanqi's insults were extremely harsh, Wu Guonan was now unable to defend himself.

After seeing that Fang Ziye had also arrived, Director Wu Guonan said, "Dr. Wu, how about this? We still have surgeries to perform in our department."

"Professor Shen Tao is an outsider, and Dr. Fang is not an employee of this hospital either. So let Professor Shen Tao take Dr. Fang downstairs to perform the surgery first. As for the rest, we can discuss it later. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuanqi said with a sense of unease, "I'm only going to talk to you, Director Wu, and Director Li from the orthopedics department. Everyone else can go about their business."

"Of course, the work in the department must continue as normal. Don't disrupt the normal operation of the department because of me."

Wu Guonan thought to himself, "If you, Wu Xuanqi, hadn't come, we would have been running perfectly well."

But Wu Guonan was too ashamed to say such a thing.

Back then, in order to prevent the police officers from losing their lives, Zhang Mingcan and Director Li Junfeng did plead with Nie Mingxian to save their lives.

At the time, we naturally thought that as long as the person could be saved, everything would be fine. How to proceed and what to write were matters for discussion between the surgery department, the operating room, and the anesthesiology department.
However, when someone specifically investigates this matter, no one will deliberately protect Nie Mingxian for anyone else. Even if the surgeons say that Nie Mingxian did not go on the operating table, the nurses in the operating room and the anesthesiology department may not completely conceal the truth.

Surgical matters should be handled by the surgical department, not the anesthesiology department. It's you, Nie Mingxian, who are meddling. No one else will share this risk with you.

Wu Guonan could only turn to Shen and say, "Professor Shen, our department has a lot of surgeries scheduled for today, so it may be hard on you and Dr. Fang, and we may even need to split up the surgeries."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tao quickly made his escape. Moreover, not in a good mood, Shen Tao sarcastically remarked as he left the office, "Tongji Hospital has such a big ego."

Shen Tao's words provoked Wu Xuanqi, but when Wu Xuanqi turned around and saw that it was Shen Tao who had spoken, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Fang Ziye followed Shen Tao out of the operating room.

Following them were only a few junior resident trainees, such as Li Ruokai and Mao Mao.

Besides these two resident trainees, even attending physicians like Cao Zhen seem to have been temporarily kept out of the department by Wu Xuanqi.

Perhaps it wasn't Wu Xuanqi who stopped them, but rather Wu Guonan who wanted to get rid of Wu Xuanqi as soon as possible, so they all stayed behind to try and resolve the matter temporarily.

"Teacher Shen, isn't Senior Brother Wu Xuanqi going a bit too far?"

"Although I know he did it for Dr. Nie, why is he blocking an entire department?" Fang Ziye asked.

"Is that what you think?" Shen Tao replied.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye quickly changed his tune, saying, "No, Teacher Shen, actually Nie Mingxian is quite innocent. Think about it, what he originally meant was..."

However, before Fang Ziye could finish speaking, Shen Tao interrupted him, saying, "So that's what you're thinking?"

Shen Tao's tone was strange, and his expression wasn't very good either. After taking a deep breath, he sighed helplessly.

Fang Ziye was bewildered by Shen Tao's expression and tone, and froze for a moment after being interrupted.

Thinking this way is wrong, and thinking that way is wrong too.

What does it mean?
"It's obvious that Wu Xuanqi is just an actor. It's one thing for a young man to disregard Director Wu's feelings, but he also doesn't give face to the previous generation's Director Hongdu, and he just scolded Director Qiu, who was from the previous generation."

"This is only possible because it's Enshi Central Hospital. If this were any hospital in Wuhan, Wu Xuanqi would definitely be leaving the department with a dislocated joint, I guarantee it!" Shen Tao explained as he walked into the changing room, first putting his scrubs in the locker, and then, while taking off his shirt, saying:
"Xiao Fang, you probably still can't understand."

"This Wu Xuanqi is cunning. I wonder who he's colluding with to help Nie Mingxian escape, so that Enshi Central Hospital will return his indenture without any loss and fire him voluntarily."

"I'm going to make a scene to show everyone that Nie Mingxian was forced to leave, and that Enshi Central Hospital is the one who wronged Nie Mingxian, not the other way around."

"That's fame."

After Shen Tao's explanation, Fang Ziye's scalp tingled with confusion.

My head is buzzing.

Upon closer examination, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Nie Mingxian was brought to Enshi as a talent, so it is not allowed for him to leave.

Talent recruitment is a national policy. Enshi belongs to an autonomous prefecture.

but!

but.

If Nie Mingxian violated the rules and is found out, then if he is dismissed, it won't be considered a violation.

Moreover, this violation was not done voluntarily by Nie Mingxian, but at the request of the orthopedics department, and the medical affairs department subsequently completed the necessary procedures.

however!
That's where the problem lies. Under these circumstances, when the provincial-level health commission came to inspect the surgical procedure, they discovered the issue.

It wasn't an emergency, and there was someone else present. In fact, Professor Mao from Kyoto was also on the operating table during that surgery.

Under such circumstances, why did Nie Mingxian still go on stage? How do you explain this?
If it cannot be explained, then the concept of emergency avoidance does not exist.

This was intentional!
"Huh?" Fang Ziye was shocked after figuring it all out.

"No, Teacher Shen, is society really that complicated?"

"If Teacher Nie wants to leave, he should just leave. Why does it have to involve the orthopedics department?" Fang Ziye asked after he understood.

Shen Tao's point is that all of this was orchestrated by Nie Mingxian himself. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too, wanted to leave but also wanted to maintain a facade of virtue, so he directed and acted out the whole thing.

Not only did he get what he wanted, but he also had to get an apology from the orthopedic surgeon.

This is a big deal.

"How do you know that this is definitely the result Nie Mingxian wanted?" Shen Tao asked rhetorically.

After saying that, Shen Tao added, "I can't guess the specific reason, but I know that Wu Xuanqi came here today not out of genuine debt collection or anger. He's just putting on an act."

"Sigh, no matter what, Wu Xuanqi is a proper orthopedic surgeon. How could he be so shameless? I just can't figure it out."

"Of course, I'm too lazy to think about the more specific details. It's good to be a little oblivious in life..."

"Let's both go get the surgery," Shen Tao said, getting back to the main topic. He changed out of his handwashing clothes and pants, and seeing that Fang Ziye was already fully equipped with protective gear, he headed towards the operating room.

After thinking for a full two minutes, Fang Ziye felt that Shen Tao had said everything he could say, and what he hadn't said was probably something he didn't know.

At the time, Professor Mao, who appeared on Huang Kai's operating table with Nie Mingxian, was already acting very suspiciously. Fang Ziye guessed that if Wu Xuanqi's outburst at the orthopedics department, questioning the department heads about why they broke their promises, was just an act, then the truth might be related to Professor Mao.

At this point, Fang Ziye finally realized something.

Society is complex.

Many seemingly unsolvable situations actually have solutions; it just depends on how you extricate yourself and how you arrange things.

If it was truly Professor Mao who used the entire orthopedics department of Enshi Central Hospital to orchestrate a scheme to allow Nie Mingxian to escape the talent recruitment contract of Enshi Central Hospital, then Fang Ziye would feel that this world was truly very real.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with me.

Fang Ziye looked at his knowledge points balance, which had reached 1402 points. Then, seeing that there was still a pelvic fracture surgery among the surgeries he was scheduled for today, he decided to just go straight for the complex pelvic fracture open reduction and internal fixation surgery, and immediately add points to it to level 3...

In the operating room was a staff member from Enshi Central Hospital, namely Wang Zhongxing with a big beard.

Wang Zhongxing was able to escape because the anesthesiology department required someone to be in the operating room before they would administer anesthesia. After lunch, Wang Zhongxing rushed to the operating room to urge the anesthesia to be administered.

As a result, Wang Zhongxing was left alone in the operating room, while everyone else was called away.

Now, Wang Zhongxing is anxiously pacing around in the operating room, like an ant on a hot pan.

Seeing Shen Tao and Fang Ziye, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Professor Shen, you've arrived. This pelvic fracture surgery can't be delayed any longer. We've canceled two other surgeries, but we still have one tibial elastic intramedullary nail surgery left."

"The child is young, so the earlier the surgery, the less he will cause trouble. Otherwise, the pain will be unbearable," Wang Zhongxing explained to Shen Tao about the two surgeries that could not be canceled.

"Okay!" Shen Tao nodded.

Then, together with Wang Zhongxing, who had already completed the disinfection and towel-laying process, they went up onto the stage.

Fang Ziye was soon on the operating table as well.

Originally, it was Wang Zhongxing and Shen Tao who were working together.

However, it's usually Xue Tao and Shen Tao who have worked together for a long time and developed a certain tacit understanding. Wang Zhongxing had been in the old director's group in Hongdu for a while, so his cooperation with Shen Tao became rusty.

Therefore, after working together for only five minutes, Shen Tao took the initiative to dismiss Wang Zhongxing and replaced him with Fang Ziye as his assistant.

Fang Ziye, on the other hand, hadn't performed any clinical surgeries for almost half a month, so he was itching to practice and increased his proficiency in pelvic fracture surgery to level 4 with 500 points.

It's just for fun, to the point where you can play even better than Shen Tao.

So, within minutes, Shen Tao was defeated.

Looking at Fang Ziye, he cursed and said, "Damn it, you're secretly laughing at me again. Come on, come on, you do it!"

Shen Tao realized once again that Fang Ziye's skill in pelvic fracture surgery had surpassed his own.

As for why Fang Ziye was able to progress so quickly?
The word "genius" is already sufficient to describe him, because Fang Ziye already had a foundation in long bone fracture surgery, manual reduction techniques, and pelvic reconstruction...

"Professor Shen, then, please remember to oversee the quality of the surgery for me." Fang Ziye said modestly, his tone formal, without any of the smugness of someone who had gotten a good deal and was now acting innocent.

Shen Tao simply rolled his eyes at Fang Ziye.

Reaching level 4 with 500/5000 proficiency is really difficult.

The surgical procedure for complex pelvic fractures is far more difficult than that for ordinary fracture surgery; the threshold for its operation is at least that of a senior attending physician.

In other words, experienced surgeons like Yuan Weihong and Shen Tao can barely start performing surgeries, and their proficiency level is generally around level 3.

Fang Ziye is shameless; he's taken too big a step.

"Get the hell out of here!" Shen Tao was furious.

Fang Ziye suddenly became a little mean, and said in a slightly gloomy tone, "Teacher Shen, how could you do this?"

"I am so outstanding, all thanks to you, Teacher Shen. It's mainly because you teach so well!"

At this point, Shen Tao, who was provoked, immediately remembered that he had previously boasted to Yuan Weihong that many of Fang Ziye's techniques were things he had taught, which Yuan Weihong had taken seriously and asked Professor An Luming about.

Professor An Luming of the Provincial People's Hospital still believes that Shen Tao can bring Fang Ziye home and keeps calling him...

Shen Tao raised his hand, ready to make a move.

"Teacher Shen!"

"Don't!"

"Stop moving, or you'll get contaminated," Fang Ziye said, and Shen Tao finally stopped.

Watching Dr. Fang Ziye perform pelvic fracture surgery with such skill and fluidity, I felt a sense of wonder and couldn't help but exclaim, "This surgery is truly smooth!"

"You truly deserve to be a star in the domestic products section."

Shen Tao was praising him, and the first half of his sentence was actually fine, but the second half made Fang Ziye's face furrow into a bitter expression. While showing Shen Tao how it was done and letting him experience it for himself, he could still effortlessly probe the nerves in his abdominal wall and skillfully use the rubber band cut from his glove to outline the nerves to the side.

"Teacher Shen is very familiar with the domestic products section, does he visit it often?" Fang Ziye asked.

"No, no, no, you and your master go up there all the time, I've never done it. My skills aren't as good as yours." Shen Tao found a breakthrough point and started to self-deception, then began to unleash his full power!
Of course, no matter how much he expresses his feelings, he's still just a sour grapes, and it doesn't change the fact that Fang Ziye is still very powerful, far more powerful than his students.

Moreover, there is another fact: Fang Ziye was a student of his lost brother Yuan Weihong.

Wang Zhongxing watched Fang Ziye and Shen Tao chatting and laughing on the operating table, performing the surgery as easily and effortlessly as if they were strolling in a garden.

He could only admire such a state of being, but he could never achieve it.

Wang Zhongxing even believes that such a level of achievement cannot be attained simply by pursuing a doctorate; rather, it requires genuine talent. Without talent, no matter how long you study, it will be in vain.

Fang Ziye and Shen Tao are both considered to be quite talented, more so than most others he has ever seen.

Those who can be like them are also capable of performing surgery with the same ease and flexibility as the two of them...

Wang Zhongxing could only feel envious, because he would never have the chance to catch up and complete the same transformation as them.
