I Am Diagnosed as a Medical Titan

Chapter 257: Chapter 171: Dreaming

"Close the door."

"Got it."

"Take a look at this. It’s good stuff."

"Okay, let me see."

The master and apprentice were acting so furtively, it looked like they were making a clandestine exchange.

「A moment later.」

Yang Xu said, "You get it?"

Jiang He nodded. "Teacher, you mean I should use this opportunity to take on a large number of surgeries. Then, we see if we can use the provincial commendation conference mid-month, plus the SAP paper, to pull off an unconventional promotion, skipping a few ranks."

"Exactly. The surgeries need to be done as fast and as well as possible. Will that be difficult?"

"Not at all."

Yes, it really wasn’t difficult at all.

For Jiang He, performing a level-one surgery was no different from a stress-relieving game.

It was complete overkill—using a cannon to shoot a mosquito, a butcher’s cleaver to kill a chicken.

His surgical recordings were so flawless they could be used as textbook material.

Yang Xu added a warning, "Things can change in an instant in a real surgery. You’re still inexperienced, so don’t get overconfident. If you really run into trouble, try to take a conservative approach. Even if it means closing the patient up and getting off the table, we can figure it out later."

His teacher’s reminder came from a good place. What he feared most was Jiang He accidentally getting into a medical malpractice incident, which could damage his confidence.

But this worry was clearly unnecessary.

If it was a problem Jiang He couldn’t solve on the operating table, then likely no one else in the entire Affiliated Hospital No. 1 could solve it either.

Jiang He asked, "Teacher, besides performing surgeries, what else can I do?"

"Try to solve as many difficult and complex cases as you can. In short, get everyone in the hospital to recognize your abilities. Of course, they pretty much already do. The main thing is to get Vice Dean Zhang Sui’s approval. Ah, well, it doesn’t matter if he approves or not. Just do your best, and leave the rest to me."

’Yang Xu is cosplaying as Zhou Yang,’ Jiang He thought, ’contradicting himself right here.’

Jiang He almost blurted out, ’Indeed,’ but he managed to hold it back and said, "Understood."

Yang Xu: "If Zhao Yumin has cases over in the ER, I’ll have him follow this model too. You need to hurry up and rack up your practical experience and case count."

Jiang He: "If everything goes smoothly, Teacher, what level do you think I can jump to with an unconventional promotion?"

"Hmm, that’s hard to say. Anyway, just get started. If everything goes well, what if you end up taking Ma Huaide’s department head position?"

Jiang He broke into a sweat. "That’s impossible, isn’t it, Teacher...?"

Yang Xu said cheerfully, "Who cares? Just go for it. What if it happens?"

Jiang He thought about it.

’A department head at twenty-one?’

In his previous life, he had known a genius doctor, Tang Chengbin.

Born in 1990 with a master’s degree, he successfully obtained the title of Chief Physician in his early thirties and was in charge of the Department of Cardiac and Great Vessal Surgery at Subei People’s Hospital.

That was already a legendary figure.

’And I’m supposed to get the Chief Physician title nine years earlier than him? That’s truly unrealistic.’

However, if he really could, the benefits would be enormous.

After all, being able to lead a department in specialized research on radical surgery for pancreatic cancer would definitely boost efficiency tremendously.

But to get such an unconventional promotion, he would have to rely on scientific research.

On the research front, he’d need to produce top-tier results—something on the level of winning a Nobel Prize in Medicine—to even have a chance.

’—Hmm? Wait a minute... aren’t I working on miRNA for early screening?’

Jiang He reined in his fantasies and said, "Okay, Teacher. I understand."

"One more thing. I’m not too worried about the surgeries. My main concern is your stamina. If things get too busy here at the hospital, will your research fall behind?"

After listening, Jiang He thought about it seriously and said:

"I can do rounds at 7 AM and enter the operating room at 8 AM. The department is short-staffed right now, so I can take on three to five level-one surgeries a day. Try to have me off the table by 3 PM. Then, I’ll go to the school lab at 3:30 PM to monitor the progress of the miRNA experiment. I’ll finish at 8 PM, return to the hospital at 8:30 PM, and continue with more surgeries or handle any emergencies on the ward."

Yang Xu frowned. "What about literature searches? And writing papers?"

"I can do those from 11 PM to 2 AM."

"Then how many hours will you sleep?"

"Four hours is enough, Teacher. I’ve tried it. Four hours of deep sleep is enough to keep this workhorse going."

Yang Xu: "..."

His teacher didn’t get Jiang He’s anachronistic meme; he was just left speechless.

The term "king of the grind" didn’t exist in this era. The closest description he could think of was: ’Even a beast of burden isn’t as durable as you!’

Yang Xu: "Alright, since you have a plan, just follow your own pace. Try to get more rest, and make sure you follow all the proper procedures."

"Okay, Teacher. I’ll be going then."

"Mm."

As soon as Jiang He left,

Yang Xu called Wang Xiaoqing. "Professor Wang, what are you up to?"

Wang Xiaoqing replied coolly, "Just say it. What amazing thing has your precious student done now?"

Yang Xu chuckled. "Jiang He operated as the lead surgeon independently today."

Wang Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then said, "That’s impressive."

Yang Xu: "Hehe, it’s alright. It really has nothing to do with me. He’s just that good on his own."

Wang Xiaoqing: "?"

’Is he really trying to steer the conversation back to himself like that?’

After a moment of silence,

Professor Wang suddenly said, "Yang Xu, do you have a crush on me?"

Yang Xu: "?"

Wang Xiaoqing: "You bring up Jiang He every day to find a topic to talk to me. Don’t you think that’s childish? We’re adults. Can’t you be more direct?"

Yang Xu: "Uh..."

Wang Xiaoqing clicked her tongue. "Are you free this weekend?"

Yang Xu: "I am."

Wang Xiaoqing: "Let’s go out and talk."

Yang Xu: "Talk about what?"

Wang Xiaoqing: "About dating, of course. Let’s talk about each other’s family situations and what we’re looking for in a partner. We’re not getting any younger. Let’s exchange our views. If we don’t click, then let’s not waste each other’s time."

Those words stunned Yang Xu into silence for a full thirty seconds.

Until the call disconnected,

he still stood there, dazed and unresponsive.
