Back to 1999: From operating surgeons to becoming a top doctor

After much hesitation, Xu Guoqiang still picked up the phone. After all, he had to face what he had to face.

He had even thought of a good excuse. If Xiao Chenguang was really going to resign and come to him, he could only tell the truth.

Although he was embarrassed, what could he do?

If he couldn't make it happen, he could only slap himself in the face. Why bother to hold on and delay Xiao Chenguang's future?

"Teacher Xu, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Xiao Chenguang's voice was still like a spring breeze, which made people feel comfortable.

Even the depression that Xu Guoqiang had accumulated during this period was relieved a lot.

"Xiao Xiao, is there anything?" Xu Guoqiang was uneasy, and there was a bit of apology in his words.

He even silently said in his heart, don't resign, don't say on the phone happily that you come to see him.

"Teacher Xu, it's like this..."

Xiao Chenguang could also hear some strangeness in Xu Guoqiang's uneasiness on the phone. Although he was confused, he still asked him to report the condition of the patient around him first.

When he heard that it was the patient's problem, Xu Guoqiang's heart fell: "If you suspect it is a foreign body aspiration, you can ask the patient to come to me and I will contact the endoscopy room here."

"But from what you said, the foreign body is located very deep, and it is in the left lung. It is not certain whether it can be taken out smoothly."

"After all, the endoscopy room of the hospital in the provincial capital has just been opened not long ago. It is okay to take out a foreign body in the airway, but if it is deeper and cannot be taken out, you can only ask a doctor from the thoracic surgery department to perform surgery."

When it comes to professional matters, Xu Guoqiang is still quite confident.

But as a new technology that has just been developed, endoscopy technology is similar to minimally invasive technology and is still in the exploratory stage.

Even in the provincial capital, Xu Guoqiang dare not guarantee that it will be successful at one time. Even if this patient is related to Xiao Chenguang, some ugly words must be said in advance.

Otherwise, when the patient comes with hope, it will not work, and no one will look good.

"It's OK, Mr. Xu, as long as there is equipment to do it, I'll contact a car here and I'll go over there too. I can take a look at anything."

"Xiao Xiao, you're coming over too?"

Xu Guoqiang, holding the phone, was stunned for a long time.

As a surgeon, Xu Guoqiang didn't understand endoscopic technology, but Xiao Xiao said he wanted to come over to take a look.

Just a simple look?

Thinking of Xiao Chenguang's previous two times, whether it was the three-hole method in Shengli Hospital or the laparoscopic surgery under the three-dimensional reconstruction technology in the provincial capital last time.

Xu Guoqiang instinctively had an illusion.

Xiao Chenguang was not only good at minimally invasive technology, but he could even help with endoscopic technology.

But, is this possible?

Well, it's really possible.

During this period, Xu Guoqiang, who couldn't go for surgery, often recalled the scene of the surgery with Xiao Chenguang some time ago.

Every time he reviewed the operation, especially in some minor operations, Xiao Chenguang always reminded him in advance before he hesitated, so that the operation went smoothly.

This made him think that Xiao Chenguang was the soul of the whole operation, and his level was even higher than his.

But now thinking about these things has nothing to do with him. Xu Guoqiang knows that his life in the next two years will definitely be difficult.

While he is still the deputy director of the provincial capital hospital, he can help Xiao Xiao as much as he can. It’s a pity that he can’t ask Xiao Xiao to operate with him in the future.

"If you come now, it will probably be midnight when you arrive in the provincial capital. What about tomorrow?"

"The patient is a little urgent. If possible, the sooner the better..."

Xiao Chenguang also knew that it was not authentic to get someone up in the middle of the night for an examination.

But the old man on the bed has now started to pant and his lips have begun to turn purple and blue.

Waiting until tomorrow to do it may be too late.

Xu Guoqiang didn't see the patient and didn't know what to do, but since Xiao Chenguang had asked, he would try his best to satisfy him.

Who made him feel like he owed Xiao Chenguang now?

"When will you arrive?"

"The inspection here is basically complete. I will contact the car and go directly there."

"Okay, let's keep in touch. I will contact the people in the endoscopy room first. When we are almost there, you can call me again so that I can ask them to come. After all, we can't let them wait all the time."

"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Xu. By the way, the surgical magnifying glass you gave me is very useful. Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Guoqiang smiled bitterly again.

That set of equipment is his treasure. It was originally given to Xiao Chenguang so that he could come to the provincial capital to help him.

At first, he was a little reluctant to give it away. Now it seems that it's better to send the equipment away. Anyway, he won't need it here.

Then, Xu Guoqiang began to get busy. It takes about three hours to get from Yingcheng to the provincial capital at the fastest.

It was basically midnight, when people sleep the most, who wouldn't be angry to wake someone up from bed at this time and rush to the hospital to check on the patient? It really requires favors to get it done.

…

"Reporter Liao, the matter is done. The Second Hospital in the provincial capital has equipment and can do the examination. We just need to contact the car and go."

In Yingcheng, Xiao Chenguang hung up the phone and briefly told Liao Changgong about the situation.

The latter was obviously very excited and full of gratitude.

"Director Xiao, it's really troublesome for you. I have applied for a car from the city TV station and will come over later."

As a reporter from the city TV station, Liao Changgong has more contact with hospitals and naturally knows the value of being able to go to the provincial hospital for emergency examinations in the middle of the night.

Don't think that Xiao Chenguang's words are light, that shows that he has a wide network of contacts in the provincial capital and great power.

But if Liao Changgong really thinks this matter is simple, then his social experience for so many years can be regarded as living on the second brother.

Generally, if a lower-level hospital wants to transfer to a higher-level hospital, it must contact the higher-level hospital and get approval.

Even this has made many people unable to find a way.

Moreover, many hospitals in the province want to transfer to the provincial capital. The patients queuing every day can probably reach the middle of the road, but Xiao Chenguang only made a phone call and easily got it done.

This favor must be remembered.

Liao Changgong kept reminding himself in his heart.

After confirming that the patient was to be transferred to the provincial capital for treatment, the emergency department also became busy.

Rescue drugs, oxygen cylinders, oxygen inhalation devices, because Xiao Chenguang followed the car, the emergency department also specially prepared an extra oxygen cylinder for the patient.

Looking at the busy figures of the crowd, Xiao Chenguang felt a little emotional.

This was in 1999. If it were in the future, it would not be so troublesome.

The hospital would directly send the on-call 120 to the provincial capital. The equipment in the car was more complete, and the patient would not appear crowded lying on the transfer bed.

Even if the hospital hasn't prepared 120, it's estimated that a private transport car with a small card will come to contact the door.

But now, there are few cars and even fewer ambulances. No one has the conditions to arrange transportation. If you want to go to the provincial capital, you can only contact a car yourself.

It's estimated that it will be dawn after this round trip.

Seeing that the city station's car will arrive in a while, Xiao Chenguang called Lin Gaoyang and told them not to wait for him.

On the other end of the phone, Gong Liang's silly laughter can be heard clearly. It seems that only this guy is drunk, and everyone else is very sober.

Even without Xiao Chenguang, the party still seems very lively, especially when everyone knows that Li Wenxia has been admitted to the medical school in the capital.

This kind of party feels really good.

After waiting for a while, a Jetta stopped steadily in front of the emergency room.

The driver was the cameraman who had been with Liao Changgong before.

He looks honest and steady.

After learning that reporter Liao's father was going to the provincial capital for treatment, he immediately went to the station to drive the car over.

"Zhu Zi, please take my mother home later, I'll drive here."

Considering that the space of Jetta is not as big as some jeeps, the number of people can be limited.

Liao Changgong decided to drive himself, Xiao Chenguang sat in the co-pilot, and let his sister and father sit in the back car, and drove all the way to the provincial capital.
