"An intern from Guoxie. No wonder she speaks for Guoxie." Doctor Wang smiled, apparently implying that all dical students are like this, full of passion for the reputation of their alma mater without regard to whether the facts held up or not. If any dical student were different, it would have to be Song Xueling standing beside her.
"Doctor Song. You’re back?"
Called by a teacher from the sa surgical alma mater, Song Xueling simply responded with a "Hmm", equally afraid that saying too much might cause trouble.
Doctor Wang was unsatisfied with his lack of defense for their alma mater and turned the topic to him: "What do you think, Doctor Song? Did you co here for the sa reason as her?"
A flicker of conflict crossed Song Xueling’s face, but he had to tell the truth: "Dr. Xie is not speaking for her alma mater, I know that’s how she is."
In dicine, we need to focus on being true to reality, and on this point, he had to stand with her.
Fang Xueqing and Doctor Wang nearly exploded with fury at his statent.
"You say Guoxie’s techniques are superior to Beidu’s, I concede that every hospital has its strengths. We often deal with Guoxie’s Hepatobiliary Surgery departnt, so we can say we have a mutual understanding, their strengths are very clear to . But regarding this patient’s surgery, I am confident, they don’t have many other options, just like us," Doctor Wang said with full confidence.
The opposing teacher laid out their experience and facts.
Xie Wanying thought for a mont, then asked: "Does Teacher Wang an that Beidu’s Hepatobiliary Surgery can also perform a totally laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy?"
Doctor Wang was startled by her question: "Are you saying Guoxie’s Hepatobiliary Surgery can perform a totally laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy? Are you joking? I’ve never seen them do it, no one in the country can."
The surgery was too complicated, involving an extensive range of resection, basically difficult to accomplish entirely with laparoscopy.
"We at Guoxie will attempt this for Teacher Lu," Xie Wanying declared, feeling a premonition about this. It was because last night, Senior Tao was alone in the office in silence. If it were just a traditional surgery, Senior Tao wouldn’t need to be under such great pressure. Keep in mind, Teacher Lu changed her mind and was willing to have the surgery at Guoxie after being impressed by their demonstration of thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery.
Teacher Lu was old and knew she couldn’t endure the ordeal of a major surgery. If it were a traditional open operation, she was worried she wouldn’t survive and cause psychological trauma to everyone familiar once again. Laparoscopic was different, much less invasive. Therefore, she ultimately chose to return to Guoxie.
"Is what she says true?" Considering her status was rely a dical student, who wouldn’t know dical students sotis boast without fully understanding their internship institution—Doctor Wang didn’t believe Xie Wanying’s words and turned to ask Song Xueling, "Can Guoxie’s Hepatobiliary Surgery really perform such an operation?"
Song Xueling repeated his earlier statent: "Dr. Xie speaks the truth."
"Do you understand what you’re saying? Do you think her words as an intern are credible, that they could be correct over Doctor Wang?" Fang Xueqing could no longer contain her irritation and pointedly criticized Song Xueling. How dare you, after going to Guoxie, to speak on behalf of Guoxie’s people.
The phone suddenly rang. Fang Xueqing had no choice but to answer the call before continuing her lecture, only to hear that it was a call from Dr. Ma.
"Teacher Fang, what should we do? It’s likely a lung embolism. The patient’s blood gas analysis results are out. They’re exactly as she described," Dr. Ma said on the other end of the line.
