Surgeons (外科风云)

- Here. - Thanks.

Nurse Liu, Dr. Chu is quite hard working.

It's not her shift but she's still here looking at cases.

She is hardworking, but she's just not smart.

She has to reread medical records several times.

All she does is useless work.

Doesn't seem like it to me. She seems quite sharp.

Dr. Lu criticized her before, saying she didn't prepare well enough.

From then on, she read whatever she gets her hands on.

She even showed off in front of Dr. Zhuang.

She recited patient history in front of the patient during rounds.

That worried the patient so much he almost didn't do the surgery.

Really?

She's not too bright.

With her aptitude

if she didn't have connections to Chief Yang

how could she possibly get into a fellowship at Renhe?

There's nothing major. I prescribed a balanced solution.

Now get a metabolic panel. The lab is all the way down to the left.

Thank you, Doctor.

How is he?

It's pneumothorax (collapsed lung). He needs a closed-chest drainage.

So... you're doing it?

I'll call Dr. Zhang and see if he's back yet.

Prep the tools. You'll do it.

All right, go home.

Done with surgery?

How come it's like you're even more refreshed after eight hours of surgery?

I really am excited.

Today's surgery can enter the top ten of my list of amazing surgeries.

Especially since I haven't operated in days.

Back to earth, Dr. Lu.

This is the E.R.

- I'm taking off now. - Bye.

Every doctor should be able to do a basic procedure like closed-chest drainage.

You're here on a fellowship, but you've been working for three years.

Had you not done it before at your hospital?

I have.

Then what are you dallying for? Get the tools ready.

Who is it? Coming.

Director Fu?

It's so late. Did you need something?

You haven't had dinner yet, right?

Have some water first.

I'll cook a few dishes. Have dinner here.

Sit down.

Did you arrange for the reporter today?

Reporter?

Was there an interview at the hospital today?

A reporter from the television station interviewed me on the lung transplant.

Lung transplant?

That's a good thing.

There's a shadow in the left lung. Do you all see it?

Is it a tumor?

Two spontaneous pneumothorax in three months.

Could it be caused by a tumor?

The likelihood of that isn't high.

But, he's young and has no common pneumothorax triggering factors.

Further observation is needed.

Dr. Lu, it definitely won't be malignant, right?

He has it tough. His family's condition isn't well.

He works several jobs and can't let his girlfriend or family know.

He's graduating soon--

"It definitely won't be malignant, right?"

If it's definitely not malignant, why would I continue examining him?

To swindle money by selling drugs? I'm not Yang Fan.

You guys didn't hear anything, okay?

I meant...

Yang Yu?

Call from Emergency Rescue Center.

Six-year-old fell off a building, multiple fractures, in shock.

And a woman, also fell off building, and gas poisoning.

They're on an ambulance on the way here.

I'll be right there.

Call Pediatrics and Orthopedics. Tell Radiology and the lab to be ready.

Okay.

The ambulance is on the way. Go get ready.

Okay.

The patient is now transferred to Thoracic.

As a Thoracic physician, you've accepted him.

The patient has spontaneous pneumothorax and difficulty breathing.

You should do a closed-chest drainage to alleviate his symptoms.

Then do further examinations to rule out a tumor.

Got it?

Go quickly.

I'm really doing it?

You're not here to listen to patients' stories

or be a caring sister.

Do what you should be doing.

The television station contacted me

and said they wanted an interview for the lung transplant.

I thought that was a good thing.

The surgery was a success and saved the patient's life.

It demonstrated our hospital's thoracic surgery skill.

I didn't have any reason to reject them.

I had your assistant arrange the interview.

Director Fu.

You seem to be very angry.

Why is that?

Did they ask questions they shouldn't have?

Yang Fan!

What exactly do you want?

Boy, six years old, 30 minutes ago fell three stories.

Fractures to femur, tibia, left humerus, scapula.

- BP? - BP 60/40. In shock!

Come! Out of the way!

Oxygen. Connect another line.

Okay.

Hang a balanced solution.

- Got it. - Balanced solution.

Get chest CT to check for abdominal bleeding.

Call Orthopedics.

Okay.

Why aren't the child's parents here yet?

You weren't told? It's that one.

15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20...

21, 22, 23, 24...

25, 26, 27...

If it wasn't your arrangement

would the reporter focus the interview on me?

They were familiar with my methods in the last few transplant surgeries.

They even asked if similar incidents occurred this time.

Director Fu, don't panic.

In the domain of lung transplants

you led Renhe Thoracic to hold the leading position.

Your achievements are our Thoracic Surgery's achievements.

There is no problem in being the interview's focus.

They even requested to see the recording of the surgery!

Then show them.

Or...

Do you not want to show them?

I will be retiring soon.

I pose no threat to you now.

I proposed allowing Lu Chen Xi's return to the O.R.

only because I admire her talent.

Even if she returns

it will not affect your strength in the department.

Why must you be like this?

If you outwardly show respect for your seniors

and let me have a smooth retirement

we would be helping each other.

What is so bad about that?

Director Fu, what is the matter with you?

Have you been in a bad mood lately and feeling a little paranoid?

How could you suspect that I have ulterior motives?

Stop acting dumb.

It was Dr. Zhuang who completed the critical portion of this surgery.

He must have already told you.

But when I was suddenly faced with the reporter

they took my past surgical achievements, which truly were mine

and placed them with this surgery.

What would you have me say?

Am I to admit I am not able to hold a scalpel

and admit I am worthy of being hospital director?

Or even that I am not worthy of being a doctor anymore?

Could it be...

Those rumors are all true?

Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

There were people who commented that you had a health issue during the surgery

But, Dr. Zhuang didn't speak of it

so of course, I didn't believe it.

Zhuang Shu didn't say it?

Yes.

Look, you don't believe anything I say.

But, I still have to say this.

Zhuang Shu truly didn't speak of this surgery to me.

You're so stubborn.

You should've said something before the surgery.

You could have let Zhuang Shu do it.

Although the patient specified to have you

and everybody was watching you

they would all have understood if you were feeling unwell.

If not that, then you could have just told the truth in the interview.

How can you say I forced you?

Why can't I tell the truth?

Tell the truth...

I won't admit my age.

I won't admit my sickness.

I can't bear to leave.

Whether or not this interview was arranged by you

I've already told my story.

It's already impossible to take it back.

In a few days...

I will officially submit my application for early retirement.

Are you satisfied now?

Coming, coming!

Professor Zhuang! You made it! Come, come in.

I got this.

Lu Chen Xi has been looking forward to your arrival.

She was grumbling to me every day, asking why you weren't here yet.

I mean it's such great fortune to be living under the same roof as you.

So many doctors at the hospital would envy... us.

We're living under the same roof now. Don't call me Professor.

Master Zhuang!

Or why don't I just call you Bro Zhuang?

Okay.

Master Zhuang is what Lu Chen Xi says.

She was so excited when she first heard you were coming to work here.

[Have night shift, won't be here. New bedding in closet. Free with rent.]

But who knew that you arrived and she left.
