Taking the dical record, Tao Zhijie flipped it open to review. Just by looking at the post-operative instructions, the absence of nurous directives indicated that the patient’s condition was relatively stable and there were no signs of needing ergency rescue for the ti being.
"Both surgery and anesthesia for lung surgery are quite harmful to the lungs, and the lungs directly affect the heart. Your laparoscopic surgery should be in relatively good condition. As long as you control the bleeding well during the operation," Fu Xinheng gave his professional opinion.
Tao Zhijie nodded, feeling sowhat relieved after listening to him. However, being an overly cautious person, he said, "I will continue to co over these next few days to check on Teacher Lu’s condition."
"Of course, you can co over anyti," Fu Xinheng agreed to his frequent visits for consultations and then asked, "Are you coming alone to check on the patient? Isn’t Dr. Tan coming?"
Both Chief Surgeons should have co together to check on the patient’s condition.
"I have an appointnt with Dr. Tan. He said that he was out today but has rushed back to the hospital and will be up soon," Tao Zhijie rembered that Tan Kelin had not arrived at the ward for so unknown reason.
Was Senior Tao going to call to hurry Teacher Tan? Xie Wanying picked up her phone. There was no need to call Teacher Tan; calling Teacher Xiao Sun and the others would suffice.
After several rings, Teacher Xiao Sun answered her call: "Student Xiao Xie, what’s up?"
"Teacher Tan—"
"Did you know Teacher Tan scratched his hand?"
Huh? Xie Wanying was taken aback.
Realizing he had let sothing slip, Sun Yubo quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Teacher Tan accidentally got his arm scratched by a car and has just stitched it up himself in our departnt."
"Should I—?" Xie Wanying wondered if she should rush over to show concern for her teacher.
"There’s no need. It’s nothing serious. Teacher Tan said you don’t have to co over specially; he doesn’t want too many people to know about this minor injury," Sun Yubo cautioned her, "You mustn’t tell anyone else, you understand?"
There are no secrets that don’t get out. She hadn’t said anything. But suddenly, soone burst into the office.
It was a young resident physician who said to Fu Xinheng: "Teacher Fu, I just heard the nurses at the nurse station saying that Dr. Tan from General Surgery Departnt Two was hit by a car and injured his hand. Should we call to inquire about the situation?"
This news exploded like a bombshell. Xie Wanying now understood why Teacher Sun had told her that Teacher Tan didn’t want the news spread. As soon as the news of Teacher Tan ca out, everyone in the office stood up.
"He injured his hand?!" Chang Jiawei pointed at the reporter and asked loudly.
It goes without saying what it ans for a surgeon to injure his hand—it could potentially end his career. Surgeons must try their utmost to avoid any harm to their hands, no matter how careful they are.
"I heard it from the nurses, who heard it from the nurses of General Surgery Departnt Two. They said the head nurse secretly took dicine and a wound-cleaning kit to Dr. Tan’s office. They felt like sothing had happened to Dr. Tan. Afterwards, soone said the incident happened in our hospital’s parking lot, when Dr. Tan parked his car and got out, not anticipating a car behind him having brake failure and rushing forward, scraping past him," the reporting doctor tried to explain everything he had heard. Due to his own panic, his speech was sowhat incoherent.
The others beca increasingly frantic upon hearing this.
Chang Jiawei stood with his hands on his hips, angrily berating the person who caused the accident, complaining, "This Tan Kelin, doesn’t he realize how important his hands are? He was about to perform a major surgery, and now he’s injured his hand—is he trying to dodge the surgery?"
