Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 2007: Old Married Couple
After finishing breakfast and tidying up the table, Xie Wanying observed senior fellow student Li’s baby bump and said, "Senior fellow student, your due date should be approaching, right?"
"Yes, next month. In about five or six days." Li Xiaobing counted the days on her fingers, recalling the difficult journey she and her baby had gone through, which almost brought her to tears. Every mother has a tough time.
"I’ve decided to check into the hospital in a couple of days to avoid unforeseen complications," Li Xiaobing shared her plan with her junior, saying, "You won’t be in our hospital’s obstetrics department, only your classmate will be there."
Li Qi’an, a classmate, was in the obstetrics department, likely to help care for senior fellow student Li when the time came.
As they were chatting, a phone call from the patient’s family came in. Xie Wanying said goodbye to her senior and promised to return after taking care of matters, planning to buy some groceries for her senior to cook.
Leaving the house, it was past eight o’clock; the sunlight peeked through the clouds, sweeping away the gloom from the heavy snow of the morning and the night before.
Having agreed to meet at the hospital entrance, Xie Wanying quickly walked there to avoid keeping others waiting.
At the bustling entrance of Guoxie Association Hospital, Mr. Liu stood on the steps of the outpatient building, waving to her with a medical record in hand.
Xie Wanying looked over and saw Mr. Liu tightly clutching Doctor Hu’s hand.
Previously, Teacher Hu had not mentioned coming, and the situation was somewhat unexpected. Xie Wanying recalled the discussion among her senior brothers and sisters in the room earlier, sensing that this matter might be tricky.
"I asked her to come," Mr. Liu explained the situation as she approached, "I told her that just looking at the medical record is not very clear; it’s best if you, as the patient, come to meet the doctor in person and let the doctor see your condition firsthand. It’s not acceptable to completely lose confidence without even trying. After going home, I inquired thoroughly and learned that Dr. Cao is different from other doctors; he dares to perform surgery on patients with difficult conditions and try new treatments."
Sometimes an outsider sees things more clearly. Although Mr. Liu is not from the industry, he cares for and considers his wife from the correct and rational perspective.
It was likely Doctor Hu was persuaded by her husband’s words at home, so she accompanied him without expressing any opinions, appearing somewhat silent.
Xie Wanying led the two of them to the inpatient department, heading to the ninth-floor neurosurgery ward.
At this moment, inside the surgical ward, the doctors had finished their rounds and were preparing to perform surgery in the operating room.
According to the nurse, Senior Cao was in the office, and Xie Wanying brought the patient and family member to the door of Senior Cao’s office.
Knock, knock, a tap on the door.
The door was ajar, and with a knock, it opened on its own.
At this time, the senior doctor’s office was customarily packed with healthcare professionals and medical students. Noticing this, Xie Wanying initially withdrew her head.
"Yingying, come in." Huang Zhilei, catching sight of her, called out.
Xie Wanying stepped aside at the door, allowing the others who had finished the meeting to leave first. Not seeing Doctor Song, he might be off duty today after many consecutive shifts.
As people gradually left the office, several individuals entered.
Regarding who Doctor Cao Yong was, Mr. Liu felt there was no need for an introduction upon entering the office; the imposing man standing behind the desk in a neat, clean, and tidy white coat was undoubtedly Doctor Cao Yong. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Hello, Dr. Cao." Mr. Liu walked forward, respectfully greeting.
Hearing the family member’s voice, the busy Cao Yong looked up, nodding towards the family member, and his gaze followed, sweeping over the patient’s face behind them.
