Chapter 561: Chapter 561
As soon as Dr. Zhu Ming returned, he was summoned by the hospital director, along with several senior doctors in attendance.
"Xiaozhu, finally got you back here. Come sit down, the situation is urgent, so I’ll get straight to the point," said the director.
It turned out that Zhu Ming had previously received a task to lead a group for a rural medical outreach. As one of the top-ranked doctors in the prefecture city, Zhu Ming’s presence in rural consultations was naturally very popular.
However, Zhu Ming was suddenly called back to the county hospital by the director. Unaware of the circumstances, he took the rural bus back.
The director said, "Here’s the situation. Our hospital received an important patient last night, the county mayor’s mother. There’s no need to emphasize how important she is; the older lady’s condition isn’t very optimistic and requires surgical treatment, scheduled for this afternoon! We’ve already formed an expert group for consultation, and after discussion, we’ve unanimously decided that Xiaozhu should perform the surgery!"
Zhu Ming was stunned. The county mayor’s mother!
This certainly could not be taken lightly!
Having him perform the surgery brought some pressure but also indicated that everyone believed he was capable. Otherwise, who would joke about such a thing?
Zhu Ming immediately felt a bit elated and said, "Director, rest assured, I will do my best with the surgery!"
The director smiled and said, "Everyone made such a proposal, and I immediately agreed because, for this surgery, in all of Tianhai City, only you can perform it. I believe you won’t let everyone down; there is still time now, so let’s research this surgery together to ensure it goes flawlessly."
Here, they were researching the county mayor’s mother’s condition.
Meanwhile, Dr. Li was adamantly opposing Lin Dawei’s discharge.
Lin Fan explained, "Dr. Li, the reason my uncle was admitted is due to weakness and needing an IV. His condition has now stabilized, and I don’t see the necessity anymore."
Dr. Li’s eyes widened and said, "Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor? I’m the doctor, right? Of course, you have to listen to me. I’m responsible for him, so I have to be fully responsible; I can’t be careless. Family members don’t need to say more."
Lin Fan broke into a sweat. This Dr. Li was indeed very responsible; from his level of medical expertise, keeping Lin Dawei in the hospital for observation could be a prudent approach.
But from Lin Fan’s perspective, who possessed top-tier medical skills, Lin Dawei could completely be discharged; there was no need to waste time in the hospital.
Lin Fan also wanted to settle Lin Dawei quickly and return to Yun City; he had a company valued at two trillion to manage there!
Lin Fan said, "Dr. Li, I do have some medical skills. In my opinion, my uncle doesn’t need to stay hospitalized anymore."
Dr. Li sneered and said, "You have some medical skills? Which medical school did you graduate from, do you have a practice license?"
Lin Fan broke into a sweat: "I really don’t have that."
Even though he had top-tier medical skills, he was not a medical school graduate and hadn’t taken any practice license examinations.
Dr. Li said, "That’s it. Without a practice license, do you think you can replace me in doing my job? No need to say more, the patient will stay for observation for a few more days! I know you want to save money, but you can’t save on this!" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Dr. Li was truly a responsible good doctor, speaking earnestly, not allowing Lin Dawei to be discharged.
Lin Dawei became a bit anxious: "Doctor, I am eager to return to the countryside. I have left for several months and miss home; I don’t want to stay here."
Dr. Li said: "Is going back to the countryside more important than your life? Do you not care about your life anymore?"
Lin Dawei said: "Let’s put it this way, to be honest. Actually, my life was saved by my nephew. The surgery was done by my nephew, whom you call a genius doctor. Dr. Li, saying this, you should know, my nephew can fully decide whether I can be discharged."
Dr. Li was stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Old man, you are so humorous, saying such a lie to be discharged, he is the genius doctor? Sorry, I can’t help but laugh!" Dr. Li said.
A genius doctor without a practice license would naturally be a joke in the eyes of a professional doctor.
As Dr. Li saw it, this was Lin Dawei lying to be discharged.
He wouldn’t believe it, what a joke; could this kid be a genius doctor?
"Enough, everyone, I understand your eagerness to go home, but don’t go overboard; do you know what disregard for doctor’s advice means? It means not listening to the doctor can easily lead to suffering! No more talking, I have other patients to check, can’t waste time arguing with you, stay for observation for a few more days, did you hear? I’ll have the nurse give you another IV soon."
Dr. Li said imperatively before turning and leaving.
Lin Dawei smiled bitterly and said: "Little Fan, what should we do? Dr. Li won’t allow discharge; I really want to go home."
Lin Fan smiled and said: "It’s okay, Third Uncle, just stay here for the IV while I go out to handle some matters, and we’ll process the discharge in the afternoon."
Although Lin Fan didn’t have a practice license, he understood some hospital regulations. Even if a doctor doesn’t allow discharge, a patient can force discharge as long as signing a hospital waiver.
Ensuring that if there’s any worsening condition after discharge, the hospital bears no responsibility, fully taken by the patient’s side.
So, Lin Dawei continued staying in the hospital for the IV drip while Lin Fan walked out alone. He came to the city not only for Lin Dawei but also to stock up on some clinic supplies.
He planned to visit the medicinal market next.
Arriving at the hospital entrance.
Lin Fan suddenly saw a line of cars pulling up to the hospital entrance, with two cars in front and back protecting the car in the middle.
Once at the hospital entrance, security guards in uniforms got out first to open the road and made protective arrangements all around while passers-by stepped aside.
This fanfare indicated that some big figure was probably about to appear.
Then a middle-aged man stepped out of the black sedan in the middle, corpulent, and his demeanor made it clear he was an official.
Under the protection of security, this middle-aged man entered the hospital.
Surrounding passers-by were discussing.
"The county mayor is here!"
"What is the county mayor doing at the hospital?"
"I heard his mother is ill and receiving treatment at the county hospital!"
Lin Fan mentally noted the situation, taking another glance at the middle-aged man, realizing he was the county mayor.
He didn’t pay much mind and then left.
The county mayor, worried about his mother’s condition, personally came to the hospital.
The hospital director learned the county mayor had arrived in person and urgently brought a group of experts to meet him.
"How is my mother’s condition? I heard surgery needs to be done, is there any risk?" The county mayor asked the director immediately.
The director promptly replied, "Yes, we decided to perform the surgery on the elder, with Dr. Zhu Ming as the chief surgeon."
The county mayor happily said, "Dr. Zhu Ming as the chief surgeon? Great, with Dr. Zhu Ming around, I’m relieved."
Hearing these words made Zhu Ming feel almost over the moon; his medical skills had been acknowledged by the county mayor. This was truly a rare opportunity, sealing a bright future for him if he performed this surgery well.
Having missed the chance to ally with the Sheng Family, he absolutely couldn’t miss this opportunity.
Zhu Ming confidently said immediately, "Thanks very much to the county mayor for the acknowledgment, rest assured, after my initial research, your mother’s surgery will be completed smoothly."
