Surgeons (外科风云)

I know your family had a conflict with us.

It was mainly because you are scared and worried.

But as doctors, we also don't know how to make you truly trust us.

I am unable to make you understand this in a short amount of time.

There are no absolutes in medical science.

Diseases present differently in every person.

But in yesterday's situation

if you had a little more trust in doctors

then that conflict might have been avoided.

I understand.

Actually, nobody wants to come to a hospital.

But I promise you, I'll know what to do the next time I'm here.

For your arm, don't let it be subjected to cold winds or cold water for a month

to avoid rheumatism and frozen shoulder.

I'll be fine. Thank you, Dr. Lu.

Are you okay there?

I'm fine. You're hurt worse than I am, but you attacked first.

Let's call it even, okay?

No, no, I was at fault.

Dr. Zhuang took me to see your mother.

I was too reckless.

I'll now apologize to you.

I wholeheartedly wish your mother gets well soon.

Thank you.

See me if you need anything.

Chairman Jiang, you can't sign there. That's where the doctors sign.

You can't change it. Now it's void. I'll have to give you another one.

This is Bed 16's chart.

Remember to get blood and urine tests in an hour.

Can you hurry it up?

You need to sign these liability waivers if you're leaving the hospital now.

Otherwise, it will be hard for us to explain.

This is your chief's arrangement.

There's no need for the hassle. You can ask him if you don't believe me.

Chairman Jiang, are you signing discharge papers for Mr. Jiang?

Isn't he about to have surgery?

Do your work. Don't worry about this.

Mr. Jiang can't be moved. Does Dr. Lu know about this?

Go ask your chief. Why are you asking me?

What else is there? Give it to me all at once.

I remember you have surgery today, right? How come you're back so soon?

The OR scheduled it for after lunch. I'll be going later.

You're heartless. You're not going to offer me any?

Delicious.

Here, let's eat together.

Your quality of life has skyrocketed after getting a lady.

Have Yang Yu make more next time.

My mom made these.

I moved home, right?

My parents treat me like a prince. They take such good care of me.

My dad even said he's getting me a new car.

If I'd known this would happen, I'd have gotten married sooner.

Who would have married you?

You're here.

Dr. Lu, what have you been busy with? I haven't seen you in the ER.

Exactly. I have to do all your work.

Look at how thin my Xiao Cong Cong has gotten.

Look, look.

That's so mushy, you two!

This is revenge against you and Bro Zhuang.

That day in the kitchen, you two were...

I was nearly blinded.

Where is he? How come he's not eating with you?

He's in no mood to eat with Chen Xi right now.

Lin Huan and her lawyer just had a meeting with the director.

Do you know how much the hospital has to pay?

300,000 yuan and an apology.

Why would we have to apologize even after paying?

You don't know about this? Bro Zhuang didn't tell you?

He only tells me the good news, never the bad news.

All right, I said too much again.

I think you should head back to Thoracic. Bro Zhuang must need you.

If he did, he would've told me that news already.

Stop looking. It's Chu Jun.

Hello? What is it?

Dr. Lu, Chairman Jiang is filling out paperwork, saying his father is leaving.

- Did you know? - Leaving?

You must have misheard. How could he be leaving?

I don't know either. He said it's Chief's arrangement.

Which chief arranged it?

What's going on?

What is going on?

What's happening?

Chairman Jiang has made a decision.

He's decided to send his father to Beijing for surgery.

He's already filled out the paperwork.

Mr. Jiang has reached the point where he must have surgery.

He's transferring now? Are you giving up on treatment?

This is a decision both the patient and his family have agreed on.

You have no right to intervene.

You're all being reckless!

Chairman Jiang doesn't know medicine. Director, do you not either?

Lu Chen Xi, watch what you're saying.

Don't focus on that.

You know the patient's situation.

I firmly disagree with transferring hospitals.

What right do you have to say that?

All right, all right.

Push my father back in first.

Let's talk in the office.

Go.

What can this prove?

You still don't understand?

If this photo is posted

the public will think Renhe Hospital was neglecting other patients

in favor of tending to the chairman of a pharmaceutical company.

And you, a doctor who was once on probation

and had a dispute with a patient, is also involved.

In order to protect our reputation and avoid misunderstandings

and of course, to protect you

the hospital has to defuse this situation and minimize the risks.

That's why I've spoken with Chairman Jiang.

We've decided to send Mr. Jiang to Beijing for the surgery.

Both parties of the dispute shown in the picture are here.

Chang Li Sheng isn't an unreasonable person.

If anybody starts rumors with this photo

we'll ask the people involved to step forth and explain.

What is there to be afraid of?

You don't understand.

I can't explain this to you either.

Only by doing this will speculation and conflict not arise.

I'm not a child. What can't I understand?

Do you think I don't know what you two are afraid of?

Lu Chen Xi, what are you implying?

I don't care what sort of agreement the two of you have.

Chairman Jiang, I ask that you think over this carefully.

Chairman Yang and I are both doctors.

If your father leaves Renhe now for a long-distance transfer

treatment will undoubtedly be delayed

and danger or even death could occur to him on the road.

Lu Chen Xi, that's intimidation!

Director, you don't need to try to frighten me.

Please allow me to finish.

Chairman Jiang, I hope you will put aside your identity as chairman of Xian Feng

and consider this only from the angle of a patient's family member.

Consider this carefully for the sake of your father's life.

I'm done speaking.

The choice to transfer is your right.

I won't interfere any longer.

Director, I didn't break any rules, did I?

- Chairman Jiang. - Old Yang.

I'm sorry.

Have surgery, Dr. Lu?

- Dr. Zhuang. - Hello.

What's wrong? You called me over so suddenly.

Are you not confident about the surgery?

I can be your first assistant.

No.

Then what is it?

I heard from Chen Shao Cong

your sister came to the hospital.

So you know about the photo?

Lin Huan's lawyer used the photo to threaten Yang Fan.

It'll very likely be posted online tomorrow and cause a lot of buzz.

How come you didn't tell me?

Because I don't know what to do either.

You can be indecisive at times too?

I've said everything I could.

She doesn't know medicine. There are some things she can't comprehend.

Even with authenticated results, she still finds it unfair.

I really wish she was another Chang Li Sheng

who would just hit me to solve the problem.

Don't say things in anger.

She is your sister after all.

I know she loves her father very much.

It's very difficult for her to accept her father's passing.

She must think our hospital should hold responsibility

and she can win some actual benefits through a lawsuit.

She doesn't have the intention to blackmail us.

She only wants an apology.

Which do you think is more important: an apology or compensation?

I know you don't have as deep an attachment to this hospital as I do.

Of course, I shouldn't ask that

you try to persuade your sister to give up on the lawsuit.

But?

There should be a "but" following that sentence.

But if Renhe apologizes and provides compensation

that indicates our hospital was at fault and should bear responsibility.

If the hospital is made to seem at fault when it really isn't

just to appease the public and keep the peace

on the losing end will be the verity of medical science

and the spirit of seeking truth from facts.

I know I may be exaggerating

but in my mind, I will feel wronged for Renhe, for you, for me

and for all medical personnel who helped treat her father.

Forget it.

I may have said too much again.

Think it over yourself.

I'm going to surgery.

I'm going to get ready.

Dr. Lu, everything's ready.

Okay.

Let's begin.

Tumor is in the upper esophagus

encroaching on the tracheal carina and the upper lobe of the right lung.

It's more complicated than the X-rays showed.

The scope of the surgery is greater than we expected.

What do you suggest?

The original plan was a resection for esophageal cancer

but now, we'll have to extend our scope
