Chapter 2166: Chapter 2166: Not Allowed to Go Out
"He responded, didn’t you hear?" Shi Xu said.
A simple "mm" stuck in his throat was hard to carry far.
"Your ’mm’ was too quiet," Zhu Huicang muttered. "Can’t you say something? As the attending physician, you should be stopping their argument?"
Truth is, since Tan Kelin took over the patient’s case, he hadn’t said much.
What was there to say? A bunch of unsolicited colleagues were eagerly offering suggestions in front of him.
If their suggestions were reasonable and the attending physician found them acceptable, there wasn’t much else to do.
The patient was sent for a CT scan; seeing the results were okay and as expected, they decided not to perform surgery for now. To avoid scaring the child, they took him to Cao Yong’s office for an enema instead of a hospital ward. They were continuously treating the patient without rest.
There was no delay in treating the patient due to the argument, as Zhu Huicang suggested. On the contrary, with input from various doctors, they were able to have deeper discussions about the treatment plan and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the patient’s condition, which was beneficial for the patient.
The doctors’ argument wasn’t really an argument; it was an academic dispute.
Having explained it till now, the group listened and sensed something odd.
Zhu Huicang suddenly realized, "Are you acting as a supervisor?"
If not a supervisor, what was he doing? Just watching without doing anything, too lazy to even open his mouth.
An awkward silence fell over the scene. Zhou Junpeng thought to himself: Oh man, this guy from Cardiac Surgery always jokes without any filter.
"What’s wrong with being a supervisor?" The people from General Surgery Department Two gave Zhu Huicang a stern look.
Tan Kelin also had a hard time, didn’t he? A bunch of bosses scrambling to take the position of attending physician, overstepping boundaries. If it weren’t for the fact that this patient was the precious younger brother of a beloved student, Tan Kelin wouldn’t care about this kind of patient or situation.
Being a supervisor requires technical skill. Otherwise, why bother having a supervisor?
The crowd suddenly understood: Got it, got it.
Understood what? Understood that even if he turned into a supervisor, he wasn’t planning on giving up the attending physician role.
There was no way to give it up. If he stood by idly regarding his student’s brother, should he even continue being Teacher Tan?
"Alright, you’re the supervisor," Zhu Huicang urged the attending to take action. "What do you think about what they said?"
Speaking of their disputes, first, see who is there. The supervisor said nothing. The people from General Surgery Department Two didn’t join the battlefield. The Hepatobiliary Surgery team, being the first to consult, had already withdrawn after giving up the attending position. The Urology people claimed they dared not open their mouths. Chang Jiawei said he and others were maintaining order to avoid scaring the child.
Cardiac Surgery had Zhu Huicang claiming it was too noisy. Considering the robotic superior didn’t speak, Zhou Junpeng certainly didn’t dare to either.
This is Neurosurgery’s territory, and Huang Zhilei and the juniors knew to keep quiet; meanwhile, Senior Cao had been soothing the child at the sofa, not like the talkative Master Playboy.
As for Pediatric Surgery, Nie Jiamin wasn’t the type to argue. Luo Jingming wouldn’t speak unless someone said something too outrageous.
Looking down the line, the group turned to those arguing: Gastroenterology, General Surgery Department One, and Cardiology...
Zhou Junpeng, the chief resident, surveyed the room to assess the representation from various departments, letting out a sigh: This scene depicted a major consultation among the bosses of the hospital’s departments. No wonder Li Chengyuan urgently asked him to come and check the situation.
What on earth was this child suffering from? Zhou Junpeng looked at his hometown compatriot beside him, his gaze serious: Speak up. What’s the illness? What major disease? Otherwise, why would so many people from different departments rush over here?
