Chapter 118: Chapter 116: The Show-Stopping Emergency Department Team
Wu Ting led Professor Ma and his group, quickly arriving at the Emergency Department hall.
Wu Ting went directly to find Xiao Xixi.
"Sister Xiao, I need to see today’s surgical schedule. I’m taking a few experts to observe our department’s procedures."
Huo Yun had given her a heads-up long ago, so Xiao Xixi had been preparing for a while. However, when she saw the lineup of experts, she still felt a bit dizzy.
’Wasn’t it supposed to be just Professor Ma and his student? Why are there so many people!’
Xiao Xixi whispered to Wu Ting, "Okay, you take them to observe the surgery first. I’ll go report to Director Huo. We need to prepare properly."
"Who all is here?"
Xiao Xixi started taking careful mental notes.
"Professor Ma Mengchao, the Director of General Surgery from Qinghe City Jiuhua Hospital, and his graduate student, Dr. Ling Ling. From Xianglin City Xuanshang University Affiliated Hospital, we have the Director of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Jin Yu, and his attending physician, Jin Yan. Professor Shen and Dr. Yan Xi are old acquaintances, and finally, there’s Shen Xiaofei, the Director of Hepatobiliary Surgery from Haijin Port."
Listening to Wu Ting’s detailed introduction, Xiao Xixi was inwardly shaken. ’Weren’t they just saying Professor Ma was coming to inspect the research project?’
’How did this turn into a joint inspection by teams from three top-tier hospitals?’
"Wu Ting, you’ve really gone and done it this time!"
"My goodness, you’re going to give Director Huo a heart attack! If they knew about a lineup this prestigious, Dean Tang, Dean Sun, and Dean Liu would all be here to personally accompany them."
As she spoke, Xiao Xixi handed the surgical log to Wu Ting.
"Are they really here to inspect our Emergency Department at City First Hospital?"
Xiao Xixi found it hard to believe.
After looking at the surgical log, Wu Ting knew what to do. He led the experts to the operating room.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xixi immediately sprinted off to find Huo Yun.
Huo Yun had thought it was just Professor Ma. When he heard that experts from two other top-tier hospitals had also come, being an old fox, he sensed that something was different. ’This isn’t a simple matter!’
"I’m going to report to Dean Tang right now. I’ll accompany them with him in a bit."
「In the operating room.」
The first surgery Wu Ting brought them to was one being performed by Jiang Ming.
"Professor Ma, Professor Shen, Professor Jin, everyone, this procedure is the suspension-type gasless laparoscopic appendectomy that I pioneered."
"It’s specifically designed for super-elderly patients..."
While Wu Ting was explaining, Jiang Ming had already begun the operation on the table.
"In traditional laparoscopic surgery, a pneumoperitoneum is created using CO2 under general anesthesia. The CO2 can easily diffuse into subcutaneous tissue, causing emphysema. It can also diffuse through the greater omentum into the bloodstream, leading to complications like hypercapnia and cardiopulmonary dysfunction, making it very difficult to perform laparoscopy on these patients."
"So, to solve this problem, our department created this unique suspension method. By lifting the patient’s abdominal wall, we’ve perfectly overcome this challenge!"
Hearing Wu Ting’s explanation, everyone except Professor Shen Guofeng, who had seen it before, was amazed.
Professor Ma Mengchao, in particular, was seeing this surgical technique for the first time.
"Impressive, very impressive. I never thought Fan City First Hospital would have such a brilliant, original surgical technique."
It was also an eye-opening experience for Professor Jin Yu. Before this, he had never really paid any mind to the hospitals in Fan City.
Although Ling Ling was annoyed that Wu Ting had ignored her the entire way here, she was still filled with admiration for his surgical technique.
Jin Yan stood with her arms crossed, her porcelain-white face serious and her brow slightly furrowed. ’This young doctor is quite something.’
The group began to observe intently. Jiang Ming’s fundamentals were incredibly solid, and he was in the prime of his life and strength. The surgery proceeded very quickly.
Before long, Director Huo, Dean Tang, and Cai Qi also slipped in quietly, standing at the back to observe.
Soon, Jiang Ming finished the surgery.
Only then did he notice how many people were in the operating room observing him.
He didn’t quite register it at first. Thankfully, he spotted Director Huo and Dean Tang at the back and breathed a sigh of relief. ’The hospital sure is taking Professor Ma’s group seriously. They’re even holding a drill for the observation.’
Jiang Ming and his assistants, Luo Ming and Yasui, were not at all unfamiliar with being watched by a crowd like this.
After all, the hospital’s supervision team had been making frequent spot checks on the Emergency Department’s surgeries recently. Teams from neighboring peer institutions and subordinate hospitals also often came to learn from them.
Having gone through it so many times, the three of them couldn’t be bothered to pay the observers any mind.
Even Luo Ming and Yasui had become seasoned; they just treated them like a few heads of cabbage.
’I wonder when Professor Ma will get here.’
The three calmly went to change their scrubs, preparing for the second surgery.
Sensing the three doctors’ composure,
Professor Ma, Professor Jin, and the others were rather impressed.
"I didn’t expect the doctors at City First Hospital to have such great composure. To remain so calm during our observation and inspection is truly not easy."
While the three doctors were taking a break, Professor Ma offered his praise.
"You’re too kind, Professor Ma."
Dean Tang chimed in.
"This is our Dean, Tang Long."
Huo Yun introduced him to Professor Ma’s group, and Professor Ma and the others returned the pleasantries politely.
Professor Ma and the others didn’t pay too much heed to the dean of City First Hospital, offering only a perfunctory response out of courtesy.
Dean Tang didn’t take offense. On the contrary, he felt honored by the arrival of this top-tier national inspection team.
A short while later, the second surgery began.
"Professor Ma, Professor Jin, Professor Shen... This next one is the Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy that we perform!"
Wu Ting introduced calmly.
While the group was observing, Dean Tang sent his secretary to start filming.
This inspection by a top-tier team would be thoroughly documented afterward. The materials would be posted on the hospital’s official website homepage, its public account, bulletin boards, and any other platform that could showcase the strength of City First Hospital!
This was the highest-profile inspection team City First Hospital had received in recent years, a perfect opportunity to display the hospital’s comprehensive influence!
Once the observation was over, Dean Tang planned to invite these experts to take a group photo as a memento.
’What an exciting inspection!’
Dean Tang was in high spirits. The more he watched Wu Ting receive Professor Ma and the others with such confident composure, the more he admired and liked him.
At the operating table, watching Jiang Ming’s procedure, everyone but Professor Shen Guofeng...
The others had clearly never seen the Wu’s Umbilical Knife in Jiang Ming’s hand!
"Dr. Wu, what is that?"
Facing their questions, Wu Ting explained in detail:
"This is one of the core instruments our department relies on for our original surgical technique. It’s the Wu’s Umbilical Knife, which I personally designed and commissioned a medical device company to specially manufacture."
"This instrument is still in the prototype stage. Only with this knife can my surgical technique be performed perfectly. Using the unique blade at the base of the knife’s disc..."
Listening to Wu Ting’s professional explanation, even Professor Ma—a top figure in the country, widely experienced, who had personally pioneered and supervised numerous new surgical techniques—felt a bit like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Professor Jin was also deeply shocked.
"An appendectomy can be done like this? Not only is the surgical technique improved, but even the instrument is an original creation. Incredible, truly incredible!"
The three women—Yan Xi, Ling Ling, and Jin Yan—were even more dumbfounded, their mouths agape. ’This is too much!’
"How is it that since coming to Fan City First Hospital, every single surgery has completely redefined my understanding of laparoscopic surgery?"
"Exactly! We’re from Jiuhua Hospital, Saint An Hospital, and Haijin Port Hospital! We’re always the ones inviting others to observe our new surgical techniques. This is the first time we’ve been completely shown up by a subordinate hospital!"
Soon, another surgery was complete.
"Where’s the incision?"
"Are you sure this isn’t a photoshopped image?"
"This is completely non-invasive, cosmetic-grade. Not even the best surgeons at our hospitals could achieve this level."
"This isn’t just a technological lead; it’s a complete conceptual domination!"
"Dr. Wu is a true genius."
...
As the observation group stood at a distance, whispering their shocked praise, afraid to disturb or startle the surgeons, worried that adding pressure would affect the procedure...
The three at the operating table couldn’t hear clearly, but they knew it must be more sounds of shock and praise.
"How boring. Looks like this time it’s the supervision team plus some sheltered young doctors from a subordinate hospital who’ve never seen the world."
"Probably. I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye just now. I think I saw three young ladies."
"Just as I thought. More of those junior doctors with their clear yet naive eyes."
"Alright, brothers, let’s put on another show for them!"
The three were getting into it, not a hint of nervousness among them.
Watching the three on the operating table, who were now even joking around, and seeing such a relaxed atmosphere...
Director Huo and Dean Tang were both dumbfounded!
’Could you please be a little more serious?! This is a top-tier national expert team that’s here!’
