When everyone else was almost done with their midnight snack, Li Chengyuan returned to the doctor’s office.
Doctor Dong asked him, "Did you go to see Doctor Xin? I noticed you have a pretty good relationship with her and seem quite concerned about her. Do you two have sothing going on behind the scenes?"
Upon hearing Doctor Dong’s words, Li Chengyuan’s eyes widened in surprise.
"He’s just playing matchmaker," Yin Fengchun chid in from the side.
"Even if they seem like bickering frenemies, don’t you notice he’s quite concerned about her tonight?" Being a married man, Doctor Dong wanted to show off his love experience to others.
"That’s unlikely," said Xie Wanying.
Everyone swiftly turned their gaze towards her: Has this straightforward one learned about love?
Xie Wanying recalled how she encouraged Teacher Tan and Senior Tao to collaborate, thinking that the two bosses, being of similar caliber, could get along well, yet they almost ended in discord. It shows that if two people have conflicting personalities, they can’t be together no matter what.
It’s obvious, isn’t it? Tan Kelin is quick-tempered, while Tao Zhijie is famously slow-paced; it’s already good that they don’t collide like planets. Only she, being so single-minded, initially ca up with the idea of pairing them for surgery.
But at least she learned from her mistakes this ti. Li Chengyuan told Doctor Dong, "She and I would fight like cats and dogs. She’s actually seeing a dentist from Xuanwu. Just now, soone from that person’s hospital called to ask about her situation. She’s probably on the phone with him now."
"Xuanwu’s dental departnt is quite famous, just like ours. Why didn’t she choose one of our hospital’s dentists and went for soone at Xuanwu?" Doctor Dong asked.
Xuanwu has a dental affiliated hospital. Guoxie is similar, with an independent Departnt of Stomatology Building located in another district, a bit far from the main hospital. Dentistry is a separate discipline entirely, and the range of treatnts in the dental departnt of a top-tier hospital extends far beyond the general public’s understanding of dentists rely treating cavities—complex and difficult diseases such as maxillofacial tumors also fall within the dental departnt’s purview. Thus, there is a specialized oral surgery within the dental departnt. Both Xuanwu and Guoxie’s Stomatology Buildings have independent inpatient wards.
"You’re asking ? How would I know." Li Chengyuan retorted to Doctor Dong. Isn’t this sothing you should know more about?
Doctor Dong scratched his head.
When it cos to matters of the heart, people like Li Chengyuan and Yin Fengchun aren’t fond of discussing. They moved on to other dical topics.
"Is Teacher Lu going to check out the dental departnt?" Yin Fengchun asked about the latest rumor he had heard.
Heart disease patients have a bit to do with dentistry. This might be sothing most people don’t realize. For example, patients preparing for cardiac surgery might be arranged by cardiac surgeons to see and treat dental issues beforehand. Oral diseases are directly related to infectious endocarditis; pre-surgical precautions in this area are beneficial in reducing the risk of postoperative heart infections and preventing possible surgical failures. It’s quite common to see cardiac surgeons and dental surgeons collaborate to require patients to extract teeth for prevention prior to surgery.
Probably for this reason, Li Chengyuan, as a cardiothoracic surgeon, has frequent interactions with dental practitioners and is more inford about dental news compared to others. Similarly, Guo Zhi Hospital specializes in cardiovascular diseases and interacts more with Guoxie’s dental departnt.
"Even if Teacher Lu has dental issues, extracting teeth might be unlikely for her. She might first visit the dental internal dicine departnt," Li Chengyuan confird that the rumor was accurate.
Zhang Huayao is a bigwig at Guo Zhi Hospital and since he decided to intervene in treating his foster mother, bringing her back to Guo Zhi Hospital for examination, paying attention to her oral health was purely routine. Previously, Guoxie had already asked Teacher Lu to see a dentist when she first visited the cardiology departnt for dical treatnt. Zhang Huayao is rely taking his foster mother to the dentist again to be safe.
Regarding whether teeth extraction is necessary, Li Chengyuan said that caution must be taken because Teacher Lu is elderly and might not withstand the risks associated with tooth extraction. Tooth extraction falls under oral surgery, whereas treating dental caries can first be addressed by the dental pulp departnt, which belongs to the dental internal dicine. So, at smaller clinics, the sa doctor might fill your teeth and extract them, but in larger hospitals, the procedure is divided into two departnts—one for filling teeth and one for extraction. Speaking of dental departnt doctors, most of them are female. The oral and maxillofacial surgery is the departnt that actually performs major surgeries, which is male-dominated. Teacher Xin’s dentist boyfriend is accurately called an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
What happened tonight is frankly distressing, but Xin Yanjun surely knows clearly, even if they are from the sa hospital, people from the dental departnt and neurology have no relation whatsoever. Xie Wanying later didn’t bring midnight snacks for Teacher Xin because Teacher Xin was on the phone for a long ti.
