Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 465 - 383: Emergency Surgery—Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang Team Up Again! (Part 2)

Chapter 465: Chapter 383: Emergency Surgery—Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang Team Up Again! (Part 2)

I don’t know why, but ever since the car started, Zhao Heng and Ruan Liuzheng had not spoken much, and the atmosphere was particularly quiet.

At this moment, as the driver made a turn, he suddenly encountered a car forcibly overtaking. In a moment of carelessness, he sharply turned the steering wheel, causing the car to spin half a circle. Under the powerful centrifugal force, Ruan Liuzheng, who was completely unprepared, was suddenly thrown into Zhao Heng’s embrace.

In a completely unexpected situation, Zhao Heng and Ruan Liuzheng ended up with a full embrace.

In that embrace, Zhao Heng’s hand subconsciously rested somewhere.

At this moment, Zhao Heng suddenly recalled a scene from childhood by the pond during summer, watching people dig lotus roots, the white lotus root, when washed, was as white as porcelain, and holding it in hand gave a cool and refreshing feeling.

"Sorry, the car suddenly wanted to overtake."

At this time, the handsome young driver readjusted the steering wheel and apologized to Zhao Heng in the back seat.

"It’s okay, just drive carefully."

Zhao Heng said indifferently, thinking some drivers just have no manners, not knowing what they’re rushing for.

Ruan Liuzheng, who was thrown into Zhao Heng’s embrace all of a sudden, also had her heart pounding, her face a little flushed.

However, for some reason, Ruan Liuzheng didn’t immediately break away from this warm embrace but involuntarily closed her eyes.

It can only be said that some things are very particular about timing. When the time and atmosphere reach a certain point, it’s hard for a person not to react, after all, people are not plants; who can be devoid of emotions, especially men, who are sometimes even more driven by hormones.

Zhao Heng also didn’t know what to do at this moment. Pushing Ruan Liuzheng away directly seemed a bit too abrupt, but just holding her like this?

That didn’t seem appropriate either, as there’s no reason for a teacher to be holding a student, plus it’s midsummer, everyone’s dressed lightly, and holding like this may seem too intimate.

As time ticked by, the car soon arrived at the hospital entrance.

"Sir, we’ve arrived."

The handsome young driver parked the car, turned, and said to Zhao Heng.

However, at this moment, a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"We’re at the hospital."

Only then did Zhao Heng speak to Ruan Liuzheng in his arms.

"Mm... okay..."

Ruan Liuzheng then straightened up, her face slightly flushed, unsure of how she ended up in an embrace the entire way.

Even after they got out of the car, they didn’t speak much.

It wasn’t until they arrived at the ward, both in their white coats, on their way to neurosurgery, that Ruan Liuzheng finally spoke slowly: "Teacher, do I have to participate in the surgery later?"

Naturally, Ruan Liuzheng wouldn’t be foolish enough to mention the "accidental" embrace during the car ride.

Adult men and women, in some confined spaces, under special circumstances, having some feelings is very normal, but such feelings usually flicker and don’t need to be particularly minded.

"Watch closely later, such surgery isn’t very common."

Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.

The upcoming surgery was performed by him and Liu Ziang together; this surgery could be said to represent the highest standard of neurosurgery in the country, even getting a look is a rare opportunity.

"Okay, teacher."

Ruan Liuzheng nodded, her thoughts already focused on the upcoming surgery. The thought of Eastern Hospital’s two strongest surgeons operating together was indeed exciting.

Soon, Zhao Heng and Ruan Liuzheng arrived at Liu Ziang’s office.

As soon as they entered the office, Liu Ziang, seeing Zhao Heng’s face full of helplessness, smiled, and preemptively said: "A great feast, on me."

Originally intending to complain a little, Zhao Heng was suddenly stopped by Liu Ziang’s preemptively spoken words. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Looking at Liu Ziang, Zhao Heng also resignedly said: "Senior, when can I count on your help?"

"That might be impossible since even someone as outstanding as me is almost getting surpassed by you."

Liu Ziang smiled slightly and said.

While speaking, he also glanced at Ruan Liuzheng, who followed behind Zhao Heng.

He realized that ever since Ruan Liuzheng became Zhao Heng’s teaching student, he took her everywhere he went, really placing significant importance on her.

If Zhao Heng weren’t known not to be that kind of person, Liu Ziang would have thought Zhao Heng might be nurturing some sort of development!

"Xiao Ruan, right? Watch closely later, your teacher’s skills aren’t as simple as they seem."

After a pause, Liu Ziang said while looking at Ruan Liuzheng.

"Okay, Director Liu."

Ruan Liuzheng quickly said.

In the past, doctors of Liu Ziang’s caliber, major directors, were difficult to even say a word to, yet now it’s possible to closely observe surgeries.

You could say, it was all thanks to Zhao Heng.

"Have the family members been informed?"

Zhao Heng asked.

"They’ve been informed, but the food delivery platform is very concerned about this surgery and have sent someone to keep watch."

Liu Ziang said.

The food delivery platform naturally paid close attention to the fate of this delivery rider because severe injury and death are entirely different matters to the platform.

If it’s only a severe injury, or with sequelae, economic compensation can resolve it.

But if someone dies, it becomes another matter entirely.

Because, after all, nothing is more important than life; once someone dies, according to national conditions, it’s something that cannot be easily settled.

"That’s also normal."

Zhao Heng said without any surprise.

Next, Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang went to the ward, where the delivery rider’s wife, with a son and a daughter, stood by the hospital bed.

"Doctor..."

Seeing Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang come in, the young wife’s face showed tension and anxiety. Earlier, Liu Ziang had already called her to the office to explain the condition and the risks of the surgery in detail.

"The surgery will begin shortly. This is Director Zhao from the Anesthesia Center, the best in our hospital concerning anesthesia."

Liu Ziang introduced Zhao Heng to the young wife, which was actually a way to soothe the emotions of the patient’s family.

As a doctor, you must know how to comfort patients’ families, as doctor-patient communication has become a major challenge and point of frustration in medical care, ultimately stemming from mutual distrust.

"Thank you, Director Zhao."

The young wife quickly said.

She’s not entirely uninformed; having been with her husband these days, she often heard nurses mention the youngest director of Eastern Hospital.

And as for Liu Ziang, it goes without saying that he was the highest-level neurosurgeon at Eastern Hospital. Her husband having these two great experts for his surgery could be considered quite lucky.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses entered the ward, and upon entering, he immediately said to Zhao Heng and Liu Ziang, "Hello to the two directors, I’m the person in charge of the food delivery platform for this incident. May I ask, what is the success rate of this surgery?"

The person in charge asked so directly because the life or death of this delivery rider directly relates to the platform’s next steps. Since this has already aired on the evening’s hot news, the matter has started to ferment, and if not handled properly, it could lead to big problems.

Moreover, if the delivery rider only suffers a severe injury or has sequelae, economic compensation can be discussed gradually, but if the person is gone, the platform’s PR department won’t be able to handle it.

"I’ve already informed the family of the surgical risks."

Liu Ziang said bluntly to the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses.

Logically, as a platform, if something happens to a rider during the delivery process, the platform should step in right away to handle it irrespective of how it is handled, be it through insurance or humanitarian concern. It ultimately shows a respect for life.

But until the matter hit the evening’s hot news, the platform hesitantly sent someone, which naturally made Liu Ziang feel uncomfortable.

As doctors, we can’t stand those who don’t respect life!
