I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

On the other side, Aki Tomoya also found Sagara and asked, "Doctor Sagara, are you unsure?"

It seemed that Sagara thought his proposal was feasible, and the three operations were completed together.

However, he was not going to be the main surgeon, but wanted Sasaki Ichi, who had the best skills, to be the main surgeon.

“Reducing risk, right?”

Dr. Sagara replied calmly.

Simply put, he just wanted to cure the one-year-old girl, so it would be most appropriate to entrust the operation to Sasaki Ichiru.

Minimize the risks and complete the three surgeries at the same time, avoiding the burden of multiple surgeries.

However, it won’t be easy to arrange things once Sasaki arrives there.

The surgery schedule was full, and it wasn't just Sasaki Ichiru who was in this situation, it was the same for everyone.

The schedule of any doctor who can perform surgery or serve as an assistant is almost always full.

If Sasaki Ichiru really can't get away, Sagara will plan to do it himself, and will try to perform the surgery next week.

The sooner the surgery is performed, the better it is for the patient.

"If I am the one who performs the surgery, you can be my assistant, right?"

Just at this moment, Dr. Sagara made a joke.

And Aki Tomoya said something that surprised him: "I still hope that Dr. Sasaki can perform the surgery and I can be his assistant."

"Are you so real?!"

Dr. Sagara rolled his eyes and then laughed out loud.

Mitral valve attachment, anterior mitral valve cleft and ventricular septal defect...

This one-year-old girl has been put on the list of patients under key observation by Dr. Sagara, and he is considering performing surgery on her as soon as possible.

As for the surgical options, he was very fond of ventricular septal defect repair, mitral valvule resection and mitral and tricuspid valvuloplasty, all three operations to be performed at one time.

Do what you can to reduce the burden of surgery.

Moreover, if Sasaki Ichiru could take over, the surgery could be arranged more quickly, which was one of the reasons why Dr. Sagara asked Sasaki Ichiru for help.

"But if you want to go into the operating room, I'll tell Dr. Sasaki if I get a chance, but don't hold your hopes too high."

"Thank you. I'm very grateful that you could help me get it."

Tomoya Aki didn't have high hopes, but it was already good enough to have Dr. Sagara helping him.

Besides, he was not in a hurry, he just had this idea.

If I can get into the operating room, I'll be fine even if I can be an assistant at the back.

Even if there is no opportunity now, it does not mean that there will be no opportunity in the future. After all, he is only a resident trainee in name, but in fact, he is already undergoing specialized clinical training in cardiovascular surgery in the department of cardiac surgery.

"You are almost done with me. It's only been four months. It's really nice to have a junior like you to help me. What a pity..."

"Doctor Sagara, do you think of me as a tool?"

"Tool? That's a nice way of saying it, but to be honest, it's really nice to have a trainee doctor who can make you worry less!"

Chapter 443 Just a suggestion

At noon the next day, Sasaki Ichiru gave Dr. Sagara an answer.

After considering it for a day, he decided to help Dr. Sagara.

"It really makes me feel more at ease to have you perform the surgery!"

Sasaki Ichiru's decision to take charge of the operation made Sagara feel much more at ease, and then he discussed the specific plan and details of the operation with the other party.

"I will be the lead surgeon, Dr. Sagara will be the first assistant, Dr. Nakagawa will be the second assistant, and Dr. Morizo ​​will be the third assistant. As for the anesthesiology department, I will ask Dr. Ito to come."

As for the staffing arrangements, Sasaki Ichiru had almost made the final decision in just a few words.

He had made all the arrangements with the doctors, including the anesthesiologist, but at this time, Dr. Sagara made a suggestion as if he was just casually mentioning it.

"Let the trainee doctors study in the observation room. Speaking of which, it seems that we can also let a trainee doctor serve as the fourth assistant, which is not bad!"

"..."

As soon as Dr. Sagara finished speaking, Sasaki froze as soon as he entered.

He looked at Dr. Sagara for a long time, then asked in confusion, "Which one do you like?"

As if he had completely seen through Dr. Sagara, Sasaki asked straight to the point.

Sagara smiled awkwardly, his thoughts were so easily figured out by the other party.

"Ami-kun, it was he who suggested doing all three surgeries at once."

Sagara mentioned Aki Tomoya.

This case has a certain relationship with Aki Tomoya.

He offers some ideas that could work.

When Sasaki heard this, he looked thoughtful.

After that, he didn't say whether he agreed or not, but continued to discuss the surgery.

"We'll discuss the rest at tomorrow's surgery seminar."

The surgical plan has been decided, but it still needs to be brought up at the surgical seminar and finally established at that time, and then the parents of the child will be informed.

And Sagara did not mention the assistant again.

He had already mentioned the matter, and the final decision was in the hands of Sasaki Ichiru, so he couldn't say much.

We have already tried our best, now it all depends on what Sasaki Ichiru thinks.

The surgical plan was roughly determined, and Sasaki Kazuyuki decided to perform the surgery. Dr. Sagara also told Aki Tomoya about this.

As for the matter of entering the operating room as a surgical assistant, he did not tell it in front of Tomoya Aki.

As soon as Sasaki entered the place, he didn't know whether the other party would agree or not, so it didn't make much sense to tell Aki Tomoya about it.

After saying that, if Sasaki Ichiru feels that it is not possible, he will feel regretful to some extent.

I didn't say anything, so if Sasaki Ichiru agreed, it would be a surprise.

Even if I don't agree, since I don't have any expectations, I naturally won't have any other ideas.

When it was time to get off work, Sasaki Ichiru was not in a hurry to leave. He waited until he and Aki Tomoya were the only ones left in the department, and then he walked up.

"Ami-kun, do you want to go into the operating room?"

Sasaki Ichiru asked seriously.

It was not until noon that he heard from Sagara the suggestion to allow trainee doctors to enter the operating room.

When the get off work was over in the afternoon, when most other doctors had left and those on duty had gone to have dinner, he found Aki Tomoya and prepared to see what Aki Tomoya thought.

When Tomoya Aki heard Sasaki Iluri's question, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

“…It’s natural that I want to be a cardiac surgeon.”

How could he not want to? He aimed to be a surgeon, and the operating room was naturally the place he longed to be.

He used to go into the autopsy room often and had come into contact with many corpses, but that was not important. What was important was that now he was in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Kanto General Hospital!

For surgeons, the scalpel is their glory.

"A very good idea."

Sasaki Ichiru nodded, his expression was so calm that Akitomo couldn't be sure what he was thinking.

"I'm leaving first. There will be a preoperative seminar tomorrow afternoon, and there are many things to do. If you are not on duty tonight, go to bed early. You residents have a hard time, so you need to make sure you get enough rest. Doctor Yoshida said you can endure a lot. It's good for young people to have energy, but don't squander it."

As if teasing or reminding someone with concern, Sasaki went back to pack his things, then changed out of his uniform and prepared to leave.

"Walk slowly."

Tomoya Aki stayed in the department like the last person left. After Sasaki left, he did not start packing up and preparing to leave until the doctor on duty came back after finishing his meal.

……

"Aki-kun, Dr. Sagara seems to like you very much. How do you please others?"

After Aki Tomoya walked into the room, Yoshida Aoba, who was leaning on the bed reading a book, looked up and teased him.

Amaki Tomoya was puzzled for a while, and didn't understand what Yoshida Aoba was talking about, so he replied somewhat unbearably: "Dr. Yoshida, do you think I'm a flatterer?"

Not understanding what was going on, Aki Tomoya smiled bitterly.

However, Yoshida Aoba looked bored at this time and said, "No, weren't you appointed by Doctor Sagara?"

"Name? Is Aki-kun a popular figure in Ginza or Kabukicho?"

At the same time, Majima on the other side also started joking. He seemed very interested in what Yoshida Aoba said.

Aki Tomoya sat on the bed and looked around at the two people. At this time, he already knew what Yoshida Aoba was talking about.

Isn't this talking about surgical assistants?

At that time, Dr. Sagara was discussing with Sasaki Ichiru in the department, so it was normal for Yoshida Aoba to hear some news.

But I didn't expect that he would have the time to bring it up at this time.

"No, no, no, Amami-kun will go into the operating room before the two of you. Even though I'll just be an assistant behind you, it's not bad either."

Yoshida Aoba corrected.

It’s not that she is the top star in Ginza, but it should be said that she seized the opportunity.

It is indeed a good opportunity to join the surgical team at this stage.

Compared to watching in the observation room, being an assistant in the operating room will allow you to experience the entire surgical process and operation more intuitively.

"No way, Amai-kun, you sneaked away again?"

Majima looked surprised, then walked over and put his arm around his shoulders, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Do you think Dr. Sasaki would agree? Dr. Sagara was just saying it casually."

Dr. Sagara did try to help him, but it was hard to say whether Sasaki Ichiru would agree.

"There's still a chance. I think Sasaki likes you."

"Doctor Yoshida, what you said, does it mean that everyone likes me?"

Aki Tomoya looked at Yoshida Aoba with a helpless look.

"I think it's very likely!"

"..."

Chapter 444 Everything is difficult at the beginning

Everyone likes that it is money. Amaki Tomo didn't feel very happy about the two people's teasing. He was more concerned about whether Sasaki Ichiru would let him be one of his assistants.

"Dr. Yoshida, do you think Dr. Sasaki would agree?"

"I'm not Dr. Sasaki, so how would I know what he's thinking? But if I were the surgeon in charge, I would still agree if you came to me."

"But we still need Dr. Sasaki's approval."

"It's enough for you to know that I have this heart."

tsk...

Whether you can enter the operating room as an assistant in the future will be determined in the preoperative seminar on the second day.

There is no point in thinking about it now. The key still depends on what Sasaki Ichiru thinks.

The next afternoon, during the preoperative seminar, Sasaki Kazuru intended to make arrangements in advance for the child that Dr. Sagara had assigned to him to operate on.

After explaining the condition in detail, Sasaki Ichiru discussed the surgery and got Director Mononobe's nod without any surprises.

"I will be the lead surgeon, Dr. Sagara will be the first assistant, Dr. Nakagawa will be the second assistant, Dr. Moriyama will be the third assistant, and Aki-kun will be the fourth assistant."

Sasaki Ichiru explained the arrangements in the operating room in a calm tone as if it had been decided long ago.

When they said they were going to bring a trainee doctor who had just been at the hospital for three months into the operating room, everyone was a little surprised.
