Chapter 741: Chapter 344: Operating Room Routine, Equal Discussion with the Chief

The boss of the Limin Clinic clearly harbors petty intentions.

Li Jingsheng, though he resents their actions, does not badmouth Limin Clinic in front of patients.

As for Xie Junjie’s brother going to cause trouble at Limin Clinic, that’s a matter for the family.

The boss of Limin Clinic might naively think that competitors are enemies and that Li Jingsheng exposed his scandals in front of patients.

To this, Li Jingsheng is really speechless.

Fortunately, the other party only resorted to phone threats and abuse, just a mad dog barking wildly. He hasn’t lost anything.

If they really intend to go against Li Jingsheng, it would be seeking their own demise.

Now, Li Jingsheng is already a cornerstone doctor at the Second Hospital, crucial to its interests. Anyone who moves against him is moving against the hospital. Director Hua wouldn’t agree, nor would Dean Fu.

Limin Clinic is located in the southern part of the city, which is the territory of the Second Hospital.

Li Jingsheng did not bother with this matter anymore and headed straight to the Second Hospital. Director Zhang invited him today for a high-difficulty cardiothoracic surgery requiring correction treatment for double outlet of the right ventricle.

Double outlet right ventricle is a relatively rare congenital heart disease.

Both the pulmonary artery and aorta originate from the right ventricle.

For top tier hospitals like the People’s Hospital and Qiaobang Hospital, it may not be a big deal. After all, both institutions have strong expertise in cardiothoracic surgery teams.

The People’s Hospital has at least two such teams, Qiaobang seems even stronger, reportedly having four such teams.

This also indirectly reflects the greater number of patients at Qiaobang Hospital.

After all, maintaining a professional surgical team requires a sufficient number of patients.

Why can’t smaller hospitals perform major surgeries?

Mainly because they usually lack patients.

Doctors lack practice opportunities, and the technical teams naturally weaken over time.

Every strong surgical team is honed through a lot of practical experience.

The outpatient and emergency registrations at the Second Hospital have been rapidly increasing over the past two months, providing multiple departments opportunities for growth.

Take the two departments Li Jingsheng is familiar with, one orthopedic, the other cardiothoracic surgery, both have been recruiting and expanding their junior doctors.

The right ventricle double outlet correction surgery tonight is also a major challenge for Director Zhang’s team.

The special scheduling for the evening probably considers that powerful medical assistant Li Jingsheng can participate.

After all, tackling such complex cardiothoracic surgery involves many unknown risks.

Having a strong medical assistant at crucial moments can overcome technical challenges and greatly improve the patient’s survival and surgery success rates.

After dining at the hospital’s staff canteen, Li Jingsheng went straight to Operating Room No. 4 in the surgical building.

As his surgical skills continue to improve, and with increasing cardiothoracic surgery experience, he has gradually transformed from being a supported member to a core member of Director Zhang’s team.

Inside the operating room, the team members were already in place early.

Director Zhang was not there yet.

Old Yu, with the assistant and nurse, was preparing the patient for general anesthesia, establishing extracorporeal circulation channels.

"Dr. Li, today’s surgery is quite risky, would you like to be the second assistant?"

Dr. He discussed it with him.

In the team, Dr. He has always been Director Zhang’s right-hand man, in his early forties, and already an associate chief physician.

His surgical experience, skills, and medical knowledge are all noteworthy.

Before Li Jingsheng joined the team, Dr. He was the undisputed first assistant, with an unshakable position.

But now, as Li Jingsheng has grown, Dr. He’s position has started to change gradually.

Initially, Li Jingsheng could only occasionally stand at the first assistant position under Director Zhang’s direct appointment for some practice, mostly serving as the fourth assistant.

As his surgical skills improved and his experience grew richer, his status gradually rose.

He moved up to be on par with the third assistant and soon stabilized as the third assistant.

Progressing steadily, he even pushed the second assistant position back.

Now, Li Jingsheng is capable of rivaling Dr. He for the first assistant position. In fact, increasingly, Director Zhang assigns him the first assistant role more than Dr. He.

In the operating room, capabilities speak louder than words.

The talented rise, the less capable fall, there’s no dispute about it.

Dr. He, fearing that Li Jingsheng might usurp the first assistant position, greeted him in advance.

"I have no objection."

Li Jingsheng genuinely didn’t mind.

In participating in cardiothoracic surgeries, his initial goal was to seize opportunities to enhance surgical skills and earn some vitality points on the side.

It did not disappoint him, as he amassed significant vitality points through cardiothoracic surgeries.

At times, he could even earn substantial rewards.

His proficiency in various surgical skills also improved rapidly.

Moreover, his experience in surgeries and emergency rescues also increased significantly.

He is now capable of leading some simple cardiothoracic surgeries—something he had never dared to imagine before.

However, due to his insufficient rank, although he has the ability now, he still cannot lead.

At most, Director Zhang deliberately gives him the reins for some practice.
