Chapter 1010: [1010] The teacherâs abnormality arouses suspicion
Upon entering the operating room, Teacher Lu inquired about the work arrangement for the students: âAre you going to give a lecture later?â
âIâll check the operating room this morning then head to the conference,â Tao Zhijie reported to the teacher.
âAfter you go teach and not perform surgery, who will do this operation?â Teacher Lu frowned upon hearing his answer, raising his doubts, âIs this surgery easy?â
It seems that after the junior reported the case to the teacher last time, the teacher has done some preliminary homework on the surgery case they were going to perform.
âTeacher, this surgery requires collaboration with colleagues from the cardiothoracic surgery department,â Tao Zhijie introduced todayâs surgical procedure to his teacher, âCardiothoracic surgery will be assisted by Doctor Fu and his team. As for our side, Director Tang will be present.â
âDirector Tang is unlikely to operate himself.â Teacher Lu clearly understood that Director Tang was of advanced age and seldom took part in surgeries. Moreover, as an older doctor, Director Tang was not proficient with new techniques like laparoscopic surgery, and might even be inferior to many younger doctors.
âThe current plan is for Dr. He to be the Chief Surgeon for this surgery,â said Tao Zhijie.
Aside from Tao Zhijie, when it comes to performing laparoscopic surgery within the team, He Guangyouâs skills are considered the second best.
Teacher Lu asked for details: âDr. He is the Chief Surgeon, who will be the First Assistant?â
âDoctor Song will be the First Assistant.â
A rookie as the First Assistant. They say this newcomer is an exceptional genius. However, Teacher Luâs concerns were not alleviated by this arrangement, questioning, âAre you sure youâve discussed this thoroughly? A newcomer lacks extensive medical experience. If a problem arises during surgery that Director Tang canât solve, can the two of them handle it? Do they have the psychological fortitude to withstand the pressure? This is being live-streamed, you canât take it lightly.â
Teacher Luâs worries were precisely the reason for their multiple preparatory meetings and rehearsals. The current surgical staff arrangement is the result of careful consideration and collaborative efforts.
Regardless of whether itâs a live broadcast or not, a patientâs life lies on the operating table, and as doctors, how could they dare act recklessly? To be honest, Teacher Lu knows them and wouldnât likely express such excessive concern.
With this in mind, Tao Zhijieâs eyebrows bent into a thoughtful frown. His eyes emitted two sharp beams of light as he began to look for signs on the teacherâs face.
Teacher Luâs brows were slightly furrowed with worry, as if harboring a multitude of concerns.
Something crossed Tao Zhijieâs mind as he tightened his eyebrows and glanced back at Junior Xie Wanying.
Following behind, Xie Wanying caught the gaze of her senior brother.
His eyes seemed to be asking her: Is Yangyangâs Momâs illness similar to Teacher Luâs?
The senior brothers believed that she knew more about Teacher Luâs illness than they did. In reality, Teacher Lu had not shared anything with her. It was difficult to determine exactly what illness Teacher Lu had based solely on his previous symptoms of abdominal pain, and she could only speculate with the supercomputing capability of her brain. She dared not divulge anything without concrete medical evidence to support her deductions, as she had confirmed that this ability was not a Special Ability. Including Yangyangâs Momâs case in the surgical demonstration had been part of her planned agenda, not largely related to Teacher Lu.
Teacher Luâs illness was definitely different from Yangyangâs Momâs; the teacher currently had no issues with heart function or ascites.
Teacher Luâs odd behavior this morning was also unexpected for her.
In clinical practice, itâs common for different diseases to intersect or resemble each other, which allows treatment plans to be referenced from one another.
