Surgeons (外科风云)

A penetrating chest wound involving a lung lobe

with a spiraled, barbed rod approaching the aorta.

No blood transfusions the entire way. Rod safely removed in the end.

You can sum it up and write a paper.

Dr. Lu, you've done quite a few high-difficulty surgeries lately.

If you sum it up and write a paper or two

then you'll have enough papers for an associate chief rank in Thoracic Surgery.

You're so lucky.

Chief Zhong said it's likely to be a ruptured chocolate cyst.

He's already called Chief Fang.

Okay, I understand. Leave it to me. Thank you.

Wait a moment.

Come in.

Delivering a patient?

- Let me ask you something. - What is it?

I forgot. Which consulting room is for venereal diseases for outpatients?

Room 4. Why?

- What have you been doing lately? - Go to hell.

[Zhao Na, Attending Physician; Consulting Room 4]

What the hell do you hospitals do?

You don't watch your mental patients and even let them roam around.

I was off guard and he came at me with a scissor.

We're not a hospital specializing in mental disorders.

This matter isn't under our control.

- Dr. Chen, are you feeling unwell? - Don't talk to me!

If you're unwell, why don't I do it?

Dr. Chen needs to focus when stitching.

Don't "shh"!

Doctor, you better stitch the last stitch well!

Rest assured. It's especially tight.

Sterilize and dress the wound.

Dr. Chen.

Chen Shao Cong.

- I have something to discuss. - Don't touch me!

- Wait, listen. - I really have to pee!

Really have to pee?

Urinary tract irritation...

Frequent urination, pain urinating, persistent urge to urinate.

Dr. Lu.

Upper respiratory tract infection?

Respiratory Medicine's Shang Ning is on duty today. Go see her.

I want to ask about the paper that was mentioned.

What about it?

Do you think it's not worth publishing?

Of course it's worth publishing.

I want to say that even though I proposed the surgical plan

even if I hadn't, you would still have decided on the same, right?

Did you agree to my request that you do this surgery

so you could publish a paper?

Of course not!

The blood loss would have been 400 to 500 mL

if it were someone else who did the surgery.

Large blood loss, long length of time, in addition to a contaminated wound

can easily lead to post-op organ failure due to blood loss and he'd still die.

Then why are you being argumentative?

I... I mean... if... if you hadn't cleared the lung tissue on the other side

then my plan would just have been idle chatter.

So... so the paper's byline should--

It's the difference between whether the main author is you or me.

Then do you think I need to accrue papers to become chief of Thoracic

to be director of Renhe, or even president of the medical university?

No.

So... I don't need papers.

You're the one who really needs it right now.

You need it to return to the O.R. You need it to get promoted.

Will you accept it if I let you have it?

It's not that I don't accept it.

Then it's that you've determined me your enemy and don't wish to accept it.

I feel you don't care to return to the O.R. at all.

Your pride is more important than the scalpel.

All right, all right. I accept it.

I'll still need your continued guidance.

I really am not good at writing papers, doing presentations and such.

With the same content

if you revised it, it would immediately seem more sophisticated.

Are you say I'm duping you?

How rare.

An old American specialist knows duping!

Hold on.

What are you doing? There are people here.

What happened to your eyebrows?

Gonorrhea is short for gonococcal urethritis.

It is a commonly seen sexually transmitted disease.

What are you doing here?

Nothing, just playing on the phone.

Doing it here?

No, wait.

- Uh... - What do you want?

Have you had a body check recently?

Body check? Isn't it at the end of the year?

Right, there are still several months.

Uh... I think you should still... still... check that...

What?

You should go get checked at Urology.

Look... symptoms of frequent and urgent urination could be anything.

You should not refuse to get treatment for fear of criticism. Yes?

In any case, it would be good for the body.

Frequent and urgent urination?

What are you saying?

Chief, our Deputy General Manager waited two hours

while you were in surgery.

He just left.

That's how the hospital is.

You never know when an emergency comes in.

But...

I've explained to our Deputy General Manager.

If you can handle the clinical side

then your words would have weight to them.

How rare for you to say something reasonable.

But I just heard that Lu Chen Xi was in surgery again.

And the new Dr. Zhuang led her in.

I don't understand. Didn't you hire him?

Which side is he on?

He's done it again and again.

Even I can't figure him out now.

Lu Chen Xi gets a surgery every few days now.

Now that she's in the E.R., her papers in Thoracic Surgery are increasing.

He even invited her to come give a lecture.

If she were to return to Thoracic one day

I wouldn't be able to stop her, even if I wanted to.

Chief, there is a coworker of mine who could be useful.

Your pharmaceutical sales representatives flee when they see Lu Chen Xi.

Where do you have a brave man?

He is a true man.

He's dated Lu Chen Xi before.

You know him too.

Xue Luan?

That's right.

He's in your company too.

I could only shield her. All those eggs cracked on me.

Sit there.

I was going to shower, but the construction injuries came in.

I know now. They put too much strength into wiping me off.

They wiped off the eggshells along with my eyebrows.

Put down the phone.

- What are you doing? - You're lecturing tomorrow.

Do you want to do it with uneven eyebrows?

You even know how to trim eyebrows?

W... What?

Too close.

Then close your eyes.

Wait!

What now?

Shouldn't you close the door first?

Have you trimmed eyebrows for a woman before?

You have. You do it yourself then.

No, no. You do it.

I'm not too used to using a scalpel on myself.

Don't move then.

Okay, got it.

Let me tell you.

That woman today isn't Xue Luan's girlfriend.

She is his teacher's daughter.

What did you say?

Didn't we run into Xue Luan before the surgery?

Didn't you say I was too mean to my ex-boyfriend's girlfriend?

I meant...

You should appropriately control your own temper.

When you dislike someone, you have to make sure the whole world knows.

I know. I'm too outspoken.

But, I have to make it clear that she isn't Xue Luan's girlfriend.

He doesn't like that type.

You're so certain?

He likes me.

We didn't break up because of a problem in our relationship.

It was because of his ego and my obstinacy.

Anyway, he wouldn't like that timid type.

And you?

Do you still like him?

Like... or not like...

Why are you so concerned?

Concern indicates there are a lot of problems.

It just depends on how you choose to understand it.

I should put you under completely. I nearly scratched you.

All right, let's leave it at this. Take a look.

Not bad.

I should come to you regularly to get my brows trimmed.

All right. Then treat me to dinner.

Not today.

Xue Luan messaged me just now saying Senior hasn't left yet.

The one who threw eggs. I have to go talk to her.

So... thank you.

I don't smoke.

That's good. I shouldn't smoke either.

As far as my memory serves, you didn't smoke in the past either.

Did you start after going to the E.R.?

Yes, it's been almost 30 years. It's not easy to quit now.

How was the surgery? Did it go well?

It went very smoothly.

Lu Chen Xi's skill is indeed the best in Renhe Thoracic.

You bring her into surgery time and again.

Yang Fan must have objections.

I have sufficient justification and follow the proper procedure.

And for each surgery, only Lu Chen Xi could handle it.

Even if he has objections, he can't go anywhere with them.

I told you before I have no ill intentions toward Lu Chen Xi.

Previously, in the Thoracic emergency meeting

she did have a weakness that could be exploited

and she did not remain cool-headed enough.

With my identity at the time, I had no other choice.
