Chapter 143: Chapter 137: An Opportunity to Study for a Master’s Degree
On the way, Huo Yun personally drove for Wu Ting and the three female PhDs, ensuring the four of them would have enough energy and stamina for the upcoming surgical consultation and the operation that would follow.
After all, this type of liver tumor resection was an extremely long procedure, lasting at least ten hours. Huo Yun was also quite skilled at liver tumor surgeries, though of course, there was still a gap between his abilities and Professor Shen Guofeng’s.
"Director Huo, I really could have driven,"
Dr. Yan Xi said, a little embarrassed to have Director Huo personally drive them.
"Not at all, not at all. For this surgery, you all have your own roles to play. I’m the only one who’s free."
"Don’t laugh, but I’m actually honored and pleased to be your driver."
"For so many years, it has always been us at Fan City First Hospital sending patients with difficult and complex cases to Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital for surgery. This is the very first time a team from our Fan City is going to Haijin Port to perform an operation."
"We’re actually going to *assist* Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital!"
Even as they drove onto the highway, Huo Yun still felt a sense of unreality.
"Wu Ting, and you three doctors, I really have you to thank for this. This trip to Haijin Port to lend a hand... it’s the happiest moment of my career."
"You young people... you’ve all become so successful."
Huo Yun praised them as he drove:
"When I was your age, I was still just diligently running errands for senior doctors in the department. I wouldn’t have even dared to dream of going to Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital for further training, let alone accept an invitation from Professor Shen to consult with Haijin Port’s top medical team and assist in an operation."
"And do you know who the patient is? She’s the paternal aunt of Dean Song himself, the dean of Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital."
"Getting an opportunity like this is proof of how outstanding you all are. It’s no exaggeration to say that our research center, purely in terms of auxiliary techniques for hepatobiliary tumor resection, is already at the forefront of the entire medical industry in Jin Country."
"And Wu Ting, this Daytime Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy that you’re leading is going to be a grand event in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. With so many experts and professors coming to Fan City, it will be your team’s moment to shine."
The more Huo Yun thought about it, the more excited he became. This operation was destined to become a milestone for the medical community in Jin Country, particularly in the field of hepatobiliary surgery.
And Fan City First Hospital would shoot to fame on the coattails of the Jin Country Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment Technology Research Center.
He knew that once the expert consensus was reached, the City First Hospital Research Center would become the official birthplace of the Daytime Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Any medical institution that wanted to perform this surgical technique would need to undergo training and assessment by their research center.
What an incredible honor!
Huo Yun found himself admiring Ma Mengchao’s original vision and grand ambitions, but of course, the most critical piece of the puzzle was the young man, Wu Ting.
"Getting older just makes you talk more. Heh. You all get some rest; I’ll concentrate on the road."
Huo Yun popped a mint in his mouth and drove with concentration.
In the passenger seat, Wu Ting sat with his eyes lightly closed, gathering his thoughts. He was also filled with anticipation. ’Another chance to operate with top experts. I hope some top-tier entries will drop.’
In the back seat sat the three beautiful female PhDs.
At that moment, Yan Xi was just as excited as Director Huo.
’This is the first time I’ve been so nervous,’ Yan Xi thought. ’I’m actually on my way to back up my own professor. I never imagined there’d come a day when he would need my help.’
Yan Xi had made huge gains at the research center recently. She had not only finished her doctoral dissertation and concluded her research project, but had also become a lecturer for fluorescent laparoscopic technology, even starting to train students. Now, she was able to return to Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital with such honor.
’After this operation is done, I’m going to stroll back to my old department with my head held high and just preen a little.’
The thought of "chest out" made Yan Xi sneak a sideways glance at Jin Yan, and she felt a faint pang of envy.
Jin Yan was the eldest of the three female PhDs, as well as the most clinically experienced.
Nevertheless, this occasion still filled her with pride. Even though she was an attending physician at Saint An Hospital, being personally invited by Professor Shen Guofeng—and as an irreplaceable part of the team, no less—made her incredibly proud.
In her heart, she was also grateful to Wu Ting. She’d never expected Dr. Wu to be so proficient with ultrasound and microwave therapies. After spending such a short time alone with her, he had completely grasped her intent. Their synergy was so perfect it was as if they had been conducting experiments together for a dozen years.
He had perfectly integrated her own ultrasound-assisted techniques with the work of Dr. Yan Xi and Dr. Ling Ling, creating this flawless, triple-combination auxiliary laparoscopic technique.
Jin Yan felt that, in a professional sense, Wu Ting was her soulmate.
Unconsciously, her gaze, full of admiration and respect, drifted to Wu Ting in the passenger seat.
’Thank you, Dr. Wu,’
Jin Yan thought silently. After this, she was prepared to join the City First Hospital’s Laparoscopic Technology Research Center with peace of mind.
According to the plans for the growth and development of the Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment Technology Research Center, it wasn’t nearly enough to rely solely on auxiliary techniques for surgeries related to appendicitis, cholecystitis, and some liver tumors.
In terms of depth and specialization, these few surgical techniques were enough to build a reputation and become the national benchmark.
But to be a truly comprehensive, all-encompassing research center, they still needed to develop and research many more topics.
