Chapter 750 - 373: You Insulted the Professor?!

Opposite to the nurse station of the trauma center in the emergency department, there is a row of blue plastic seats. Liu Lintao was sitting quietly in the middle seat with a crutch.

Beside Liu Lintao, his wife was whispering something to him.

When she turned her head, the first person she saw approaching was Lu Cheng: "Director Lu."

Liu Lintao also turned his head: "Director Lu."

"Stand up slowly first, walk a bit for me to see," Lu Cheng's pace remained steady, not quickening.

Liu Lintao could support himself to stand up; his injured limb was functionally limited, but he still had the ability to stand.

"Director Lu, the wound has healed, and it's been almost two months."

"You previously suggested I go to the provincial hospital for surgery, but I still wanted you to take a look."

Smiling, Liu Lintao stood up and slowly set aside his crutch.

Even without the crutch, he could walk, yet he felt numbness in his right foot. It was as if the muscles from his thigh were forcibly dragging it along, not moving as freely as a normal person would.

Now, with summer approaching, Liu Lintao was only wearing shorts, and the wound had long healed.

Although there were many scars locally, it was in a fully recovered state.

"The wound has healed well!"

Lu Cheng nodded: "I remember all your films and MRIs, and I figured you would come for a follow-up in the next few days, so I arranged for it."

"If you come to the hospital, they can help you with the hospital admission procedures."

Liu Lintao squeezed out a smile and explained, "Director Lu, I specifically chose to come to the hospital on your duty day."

"Director Lu, you just mentioned that I should go through the admission procedures. Does that mean you're suggesting I do the subsequent surgery here in Xiangzhou?"

The last follow-up was in May, and at that time, Lu Cheng hadn't expressed this meaning.

Lu Cheng nodded: "We can do it here, or you can go to Xiangya in Sha City; it's your personal choice."

Patients have the freedom to choose where to have surgery and whether to undergo treatment.

Doctors do not knock on doors.

Liu Lintao: "Will you, Director Lu, perform the surgery, or will it be another doctor?"

"If it's you, Director Lu, I'll stay. If it's someone else, I'll go to Xiangya."

Liu Lintao vaguely remembered that when he last came to Xiangzhou People's Hospital, almost everyone said he needed an amputation.

Although Lu Cheng didn't make any promises, he did everything possible to save Liu Lintao's foot.

Now, after recovery, the mobility impairment causes considerable pain.

Inferred from that, if the lower part was completely gone, it would be even harder to move.

In Liu Lintao's view, he preferred to trust Lu Cheng, even if Lu Cheng wasn't a top doctor.

Patients don't care if people are famous, as long as they can actually solve their health problems.

"I want you to be hospitalized because I will perform the surgery."

"Mainly depends on how you think." Lu Cheng didn't seem too distant.

After all, Lu Cheng had insights that no one else could see, so he knew where his abilities stood.

Lu Cheng used to be just another doctor by the roadside, accepting patients without decision-making power.

Now, all these powers are in his hands, and Lu Cheng doesn't underestimate himself.

Defensive medicine is necessary and is the ultimate path in medicine, but defensive medicine is not needed for everyone you meet.

"Director Lu, I will be admitted to the hospital." Liu Lintao answered affirmatively, with sincere eyes and tone.

"I believe in you."

Lu Cheng took a handwritten admission certificate from his white coat: "Thank you for your trust, so please proceed with the admission procedures directly."

Liu Lintao's wife asked, "Director Lu, would you suggest Liu Lintao go to Xiangya Hospital?"

Liu Lintao then complained: "Why ask so much? Would Director Lu deceive me?"

Lu Cheng continued to write the admission certificate: "Going to Xiangya Hospital is definitely fine, too; their overall conditions are better than ours."

"It's mainly about your personal choice. Here, it's just closer to home."

"Director Lu, I'll be admitted here!~"

Liu Lintao winked at his wife: "We should listen to what Director Lu says."

The woman seemed to recall something at Liu Lintao's reminder, then nodded slowly.

After handing the admission certificate to her, Lu Cheng smiled and added: "Actually, I would suggest you be admitted here, as Professor Xie from Huazhong Union Hospital is here."

"His functional reconstruction skill won't be inferior to the professors you're seeking at Xiangya Hospital."

Liu Lintao knew something about hospitals: "Is it the Union in Han City?"

"Which Union doesn't do good work?" Lu Cheng handed the admission certificate to Liu Lintao.

Liu Lintao held the admission certificate: "Thank you, Director Lu."

"I told you, today wouldn't be a wasted trip."

Then he looked at his wife, "You see, if we had gone directly to Sha City, it might not be better than now, and the costs would only be greater."

"..."

At noon, 12:20.

After getting off the car at the entrance of the emergency department, Liu Lintao's wife, Liu Xu, pushed a suitcase and thoughtfully glanced at a corner outside the emergency department.

When she saw the slightly bowing posture of an older middle-aged man standing in front of Lu Cheng, Liu Xu's expression turned fearful.

She sneaked into the hospital from the parking lot and quickly turned into a corner.

Standing against the wall, she swiftly reopened the registration system of Xiangya Hospital...
