Chapter 1808: Severity

Student Xie is a busy person. Everyone on the scene could see it.

"Yingying, so many people are looking for you. It’s hard for me to even invite you for a meal," Chang Jiawei leaned back in his chair, full of emotion.

Xie Wanying smiled, "Teacher Chang, you love to joke too much."

Who dares refuse an invitation from someone like Teacher Chang?

Chang Jiawei straightened his back, seizing her words, "Alright, next time I invite you, you have to do me the honor."

Geng Yongzhe glanced at the situation in front of him, recalling the boys in the class advising him to beware of a bunch of bad guys trying to pursue the female top student in their class.

Xie Wanying thought of Student Geng’s anxiety over his brother’s illness and immediately seized this opportunity to speak to Chang Jiawei, "Teacher Chang, it’s not you inviting me for a meal, it’s me inviting you, hoping you can help me review a patient’s medical record."

This is not difficult. What’s rare is that Student Xie asked him to help review a medical record. Chang Jiawei grinned and extended his hand, "Bring it over. What’s the illness? A herniated lumbar disc?"

"I’m afraid it’s a bit serious."

Chang Jiawei glanced at her with suspicion.

"It’s progressively deteriorating to the point of paralysis." After saying this, with Student Geng’s consent, Xie Wanying handed the patient’s medical record to him.

More than reviewing medical records, Chang Jiawei seemed more concerned about the words she just said.

Dr. Guan, similarly, repeated her words, "Paralysis, huh, that’s indeed serious."

Geng Yongzhe’s face turned pale, suddenly realizing that Student Xie’s suspicion might turn out to be true.

The words Xie Wanying said before were somewhat reserved, mainly considering that Student Geng, as a family member of the patient, might be severely impacted if she confirmed a diagnosis before a teacher could assure its accuracy.

Geng Yongzhe’s face became increasingly unsightly, his nervousness causing him to break out in a cold sweat, even in the chilly weather. He saw the two previously joking seniors lose their smiles while reviewing his brother’s medical records.

He never expected that the legendary Master Playboy would put on such a stern face while scrutinizing his brother’s medical record.

Chang Jiawei squinted tightly, the line of his tightly closed lips was icy and hard. With this expression, others could almost imagine him as a robot like Xin Heng.

"As Student Xie speculated, someone maintaining serious work ethics couldn’t be friends with a loafer."

Dr. Guan seemed to want to comfort the patient’s family first, changing the topic to ask Chang Jiawei, "When are you getting promoted to associate senior? If Xin Heng’s promoted, you should be next."

"Next spring," Chang Jiawei said calmly. So, his celebration of Xin Heng’s promotion to associate senior was actually a foreshadowing of his own.

Master Playboy is getting promoted to associate senior. Geng Yongzhe’s heart was hit hard again. This can only mean that no matter what people say about Chang Jiawei’s promiscuity, his technical ability is recognized by the hospital leadership. Therefore, his review of his brother’s medical record should be accurate.

"Your brother?" Chang Jiawei had already focused on his face, capturing all of his facial changes.

Student Xie didn’t say it, he didn’t say it, but how could experienced seniors be deceived?

The patient’s medical record had the surname Geng written on it.

"Has anyone else been consulted at our hospital before?" Chang Jiawei asked.

"Yes, four years ago."

"Hasn’t got better, and no one else was consulted?"

Geng Yongzhe hung his head down, already feeling where his brother’s problem might lie, perhaps starting with him as a medical student not noticing it.
