System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

"That's why the process is quick." Lu Cheng explained to Dai Linfang.

Dai Linfang's voice remained resentful: "If it were extensive damage, I wouldn't have said that."

"It's just minor, localized damage, perfect for me to practice, right?"

"Brother Lu, do you really want me to spell it out for you?"

Lu Cheng agreed with Dai Linfang; he truly lacked the talent for teaching, at least for now.

"Did you forget? In our pancreatic and splenic surgery department, we emphasize wound cleaning skill just as much as trauma surgery does!" Dai Linfang pointed out directly.

Lu Cheng lightly frowned. Honestly, he hadn't considered it as deeply.

Of course, surgery has its hierarchy.

General surgeons see orthopedic surgeons as brutes.

The challenge of cleaning in pancreatic surgery is high, and many doctors are at a loss when faced with pancreatic conditions.

The pancreas is very fragile, and any slight oversight can cause a pancreatic leak.

Thus, the requirements for wound cleaning skills in pancreatic surgery are even stricter than in trauma surgery.

Similar to how hand surgery emphasizes suturing skill.

Lu Cheng retorted: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Had you spoken sooner, I would've taken over your patient just now."

Dai Linfang hesitated in his actions: "I'm asking you to teach me, not shirk responsibility. Can I master limb preservation surgery for damage?"

"Who do you think I am? Someone who learns surgeries in one glance?"

"Brother, I was originally in pancreatic and splenic surgery, not trauma surgery!"

Xiang Dahong looked up upon hearing this: "Alright, alright, you two, stop arguing. Between us, I'm the slowest learner."

"All of us combined are over a hundred years old, and still arguing like this, it's really unnecessary."

Xiang Dahong, after spending over ten days in the trauma center, had a rough understanding of the relationship between Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang.

Dai Linfang wanted to surpass but couldn't find a way to when it came to Lu Cheng.

Originally, wound cleaning skills could have been his edge!

But recently, Dai Linfang discovered that he was once again outdone by Lu Cheng, fully put in his place.

Yet, Dai Linfang was unwilling to accept this...

So he watched the duo continue in their verbal spar.

Lu Cheng wasn't the soft type either, never giving in when refused, nor speaking softly.

The highly capable Dai Linfang was desperate to prove his competence in front of Lu Cheng.

Ascending the stage, Dai Linfang began to glance around, then focused on a small blood vessel, starting his suturing.

Xiang Dahong saw Dai Linfang poaching his "tasks" and learning opportunities but dared not express anger openly.

What else could he do, given that Dai Linfang had learned skills before him and was quick at it?

Considering he was less skilled than Dai Linfang, how could he question him?

So, Xiang Dahong threw a resentful glance at Lu Cheng: can't you manage your subordinate properly...?

Didn't you know I've paid tuition?

I even brought my own materials.

My learning attitude is already this humble, and you won't even let me fill up?

It's really tough for me.

Speed up!~

...

An operation involving limb reattachment and localized damage repair concluded amid this competitive atmosphere.

It was not light work; starting from when the patient entered the operating room, it took a full seven hours to complete.

Once the blood circulation and other checks were satisfactory, Xiang Dahong personally escorted the patient back to the hand surgery department.

It wasn't that Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang were showing off by having Xiang Dahong as subordinate, but more trauma patients had arrived at the trauma center.

The emergency department seniors were considerate, knowing Lu Cheng's trauma center was new and short on cases this month, so they tried to divert minor trauma cases over.

Ensuring that Lu Cheng and his team wouldn't have an unsatisfactory performance review for the month.

After returning to the trauma center, Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang engaged in another two-hour tug-of-war.

Finally ending a marathon twelve-hour "battle."

...

12:10 AM.

Xiang Dahong had already ordered supper, and after instructing the nurse station to call him as soon as a patient arrived, Liu Nongqiu entered the operating room to eat.

Seeing all the seniors starting their meal, he didn't think much and sat down, picking up a skewer: "Director Lu, around 8 PM today!"

"Brother Deng from the resuscitation room came over; he mentioned... Deputy Director Dong Dao from the gastrointestinal surgery department had invited an expert from an outside hospital."

"Specifically came to the emergency department in the afternoon, instructing that future spleen injuries be sent to the gastrointestinal surgery department."

Liu Nongqiu's voice wasn't harsh, merely stating a fact.

But hearing this, Lu Cheng and the others looked up.

Lu Cheng explicitly asked: "Are you sure? Patients with spleen trauma were taken by Dong Dao from gastrointestinal surgery?"

"Brother Deng said so, so it shouldn't be false!" Liu Nongqiu confirmed with a nod.

Xiang Dahong's voice turned subtle: "Lu Cheng, this really seems directly targeted at you?"

Spleen injury is a condition for hepatobiliary and splenic surgery. If Yao Xin's department brought in an expert to claim it, there'd be no issue.

But Deputy Director Dong Dao from gastrointestinal surgery inviting an expert for spleen repair surgery?

While the general procedure is allowed at State People's Hospital, giving the impression of whoever can do it speaks volumes!

Lu Cheng nodded: "Okay, I'll follow up on the surgical progress of that patient later."

Liu Nongqiu from the trauma center added: "Director Lu, you don't need to follow up, I've seen the standard surgical record."

"There are acquaintances in the gastrointestinal department I know; they performed a partial splenectomy."

"It was done openly!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Linfang remarked: "Liu Nongqiu? Are you sure? If true, they're in trouble."

Partial splenectomy and spleen preservation surgery, is a standard procedure for pancreatic and splenic surgery.

A city-tier hospital being able to perform such a surgery is considered advanced technology.

But this surgery should be conducted in hepatobiliary and splenic surgery, not in gastrointestinal surgery.

If your gastrointestinal department is doing this, it must be better than the hepatobiliary and splenic department!

Otherwise, you're just meddling unnecessarily, like a dog catching mice.

"I'm certain." Liu Nongqiu thought seriously.

"The surgical records can't be faked. I even took photos." Liu Nongqiu quickly opened his phone, showing the album to Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang.

After a glance, Dai Linfang said: "Send it to me!"

"After I finish eating, I'll handle it."

Finished, Dai Linfang glanced at Lu Cheng and asked: "Do you want to assert your director authority?"

Lu Cheng thought carefully, responding: "I'll handle it, Brother Dai."

"If you step in, it's neither correct nor justified, and I fear others might bite back."

"Of course, I wouldn't mind your help." Lu Cheng didn't boast about his capabilities, yet didn't shy away from confrontation!

When people come for you face-to-face, if Lu Cheng doesn't respond, that truly would be spineless!

What precisely is this nature?

A traffic cop trying to show off by moonlighting as a firefighter without reporting it, and doing an utterly poor job.

If someone's going to be criticized, it should be them!

Dai Linfang said: "Then you handle it yourself, or people will think you're a pushover!"

"Some fragile guy who'll cry easily!"

Lu Cheng immediately retorted: "Get lost, always trying to get the last word."

Xiang Dahong looked at Lu Cheng, contemplating seriously before speaking: "For this matter, I suggest you report it first, and then handle it."

"Don't let it escalate unnecessarily."

Having spent some time with Lu Cheng, Xiang Dahong knew him well, fearing his youthful boldness may lead him to call and confront Dong Dao.

Lu Cheng nodded: "Director Xiang, I understand the steps and procedures."

Having nearly finished his meal, Lu Cheng accepted the photos from Liu Nongqiu and stepped out of the trauma center's break room.

After a brief consideration, he made a call: "Hello, is this the chief on duty? This is Lu Cheng from the trauma center!"

"Director Huang, I have something to report to you..."

The trauma center belongs to the emergency department, under the oversight of Chief Physician Huang Haibo!

For Dong Dao to come so aggressively, Lu Cheng, without enlisting a professional like Huang Haibo, would be foolish...
