Chapter 1660: Chapter 1206: Unable to Empathize
“I secretly recorded today’s surgery, shall we analyze it?” Director Guan said with a mysterious look.
There’s a video?
Director Ji’s eyes lit up. He vowed to master Yang Ping’s expertise—whether it was the guidewire or the loop, it seed to have a life of its own in Yang Ping’s hands.
Director Guan took off his gloves, pulled out his phone, and brought up the video he had just recorded, which included many close-up shots of Yang Ping’s hand movents.
“Sit down, let’s study it.” Director Ji suggested, pulling Director Guan to sit on a stool in the corner of the operating room.
But then realizing there was another surgery lined up, they moved to the changing room.
The two directors hid in the changing room, huddling together to watch the video on the phone. Soon, doctors ca and went, puzzled by the directors’ strange behavior, but no one dared to disturb them.
However, Director Ji and Director Guan were too focused on the video to notice the doctors coming and going. They occasionally mimicked the actions in the video, pretending to have a guidewire in their hands, performing empty twisting motions.
What’s going on? So young doctors, curious, also gathered around. Gradually, three or four young doctors surrounded the two directors to watch the video, realizing they were learning Professor Yang’s interventional surgery from it.
“You little fellows, scared to death by sneaking up like that,” said Director Guan, sensing sothing was wrong and turning his head to see several faces, giving him a fright, which also startled Director Ji.
The young doctors wouldn’t let the directors off: “Director, can we share the video?”
Director Guan put away his phone: “I’ll send it to the group later, so everyone can learn. This is the best interventional technique.”
The next surgery was left to the young doctors to handle, while the two directors went to the ICU to check on the patient from the earlier surgery. The patient’s vital signs were stable.
Luckily, the broken guidewire had already been removed; otherwise, the patient might have lost their life. Doctor Jiao from the City People’s Hospital faced serious disciplinary actions because of it.
This wasn’t just a matter of dical skill but a liability—showing no reverence for life and a lack of responsibility, only caring about appearances and not the patient’s life. Fortunately, the patrolling nurse and anesthesiologist had a sense of safety; they noticed sothing was wrong with the surgery and reported it to the superiors in ti. The departnt director and the dical departnt intervened promptly, preventing a tragedy. Otherwise, things would have been unimaginable.
The patient’s family was relatively relieved. Since the patient was fine, they didn’t pursue any bla but agreed with Director Zhao’s viewpoint—human anatomy is extrely complex, and dical procedures can’t guarantee 100% success. The key is how to face and handle unexpected situations. The City People’s Hospital was undoubtedly serious in dealing with this matter, which deserved recognition.
The City People’s Hospital was left in shambles after over a decade under forr Dean Xie. The staff was disunited, and managent was chaotic. Dean Chen couldn’t fix it all at once and needed ti to gradually tidy things up.
To thank the doctors at Sanbo Hospital, the patient’s family even bought a pennant as a gesture, showing they were quite understanding.
Dean Chen from the City People’s Hospital, accompanied by several hospital leaders and Doctor Jiao, went to Sanbo Hospital to visit the patient and apologize to the patient and their family.

In the afternoon, Yang Ping, accompanied by Xia Shu, did a round in the ICU. After An Chenfeng’s artificial heart replacent, recovery was good. Technological advances have changed lives—without artificial heart technology, a case like An Chenfeng’s would have been hopeless. The progress of modern dicine is inevitably tied to overall technological developnt; it can’t be separated from the broader technological context of society.
If a modern surgeon were to go to ancient tis, they wouldn’t accomplish much without modern hemostatic, aseptic, and anesthetic techniques. They could only deal with superficial abscesses.
With the help of the artificial heart, An Chenfeng now wouldn’t feel breathless even when moving around. The heart properly pumps blood to et the body’s needs, and as long as he avoids heavy labor and intense exercise, the artificial heart should suffice for daily life.
An Chenfeng’s parents were the happiest, seeing their son awake and recovering well through the glass. Their happiness was genuine. Overwheld by guilt, they always wanted to do sothing to make up for their child. Now that they have replaced his heart with an artificial one, they feel slightly relieved.
They had lost their child once before and didn’t want to lose him again; they would even be willing to give him their own heart.
After checking on An Chenfeng, Yang Ping went to see the patient from the guidewire removal surgery. His condition was also good. As long as there was no postoperative intracranial hemorrhage, he should be fine. However, Yang Ping couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be a hemorrhage; there was definitely so vascular wall damage. Whether it would lead to a rupture is uncertain and requires a few days of observation.
“Dr. Xia, I added you on WeChat. When you have a mont, accept it, so I can reach out to you anyti with questions about this patient.” A female doctor in the ICU approached Dr. Xia, who nodded and reached for his phone in his pocket.
Not far away, several nurses were chuckling quietly. It’s rare to find unmarried doctors in the hospital, mostly just the new graduates each year. However, these young doctors usually already have girlfriends, many of whom they’ve been dating for years. A doctor without a girlfriend is virtually a rare breed.
