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

"Xiao Xiao, come here, let me introduce you."

Wang Jingang waved to Xiao Chenguang who was standing beside him, and then introduced him.

"This is my brother who studied with me back then, and now he is the deputy director of the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery at the Second Hospital of the Provincial Capital, Xu Guoqiang, Expert Xu."

"What's the point of talking about experts in front of the big brother?"

Xu Guoqiang waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "If you chose to stay in the Second Hospital back then, I guess you would have achieved much more than me now."

"Hey, it's all in the past."

The dimness in Wang Jingang's eyes was seen by Xiao Chenguang who was standing beside him, and he felt a little curious.

Xu Guoqiang obviously knew the reason, and knew that he had talked too much, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Lao Wang, the pickled cabbage you brought from your hometown was eaten with steamed buns by a fellow student in the dormitory. It was so delicious."

"Haha, I remember eating a fist-sized pickled cabbage in two meals, and then a group of people squatted by the water tank and poured water into their stomachs one ladle at a time."

When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past.

The two couldn't help but sigh about the high spirits of the past. Now, in the blink of an eye, the world has changed.

"I really thought you still miss the pickled cabbage from my village. If you like, I have pickled cabbage and special shrimp paste. Take it with you when you go."

"You said that. I still feel greedy when I think about it now."

The two walked towards the hospital with their arms around each other.

Seeing this, Xiao Chenguang seemed to remember his past and followed them silently.

"Old Xu, we've traveled a long way to invite you here. Is this operation okay?"

After the greetings, Wang Jingang was most concerned about the patient's operation.

"No problem. I'm in charge of the laparoscopic technology in the hospital now. I've performed no less than a hundred operations like cholecystectomy." Xu Guoqiang said casually.

"Really? This is Xiao Chenguang from our department. He's also in charge of the laparoscopic technology in the hospital. Let him follow you and learn more."

While Wang Jingang was talking, he motioned Xiao Chenguang, who was following behind him, to come over.

"I was wondering why you were so enthusiastic this time and asked me to do the flying knife. It turns out that you want to accept an apprentice."

"Don't worry, let Xiao Xiao go to the Provincial Second Hospital with me. I guarantee that it will only take three months for him to master laparoscopic cholecystectomy."

"By then, you can do more difficult left hepatectomy and common bile duct exploration with me."

"Even, when our Second Hospital has the conditions to carry out laparoscopic duodenum resection of the pancreatic head and tail, Xiao Xiao will definitely be given a position as an assistant."

Xu Guoqiang patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

Wang Jingang knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, but Xu Guoqiang's words were enough to show that he was a very nostalgic person.

At least he recognized Wang Jingang as his big brother.

Otherwise, an expert in a provincial capital would be much higher than the department director of a municipal hospital in terms of resources and status.

Why would he give up his own resources for your apprentice?

"Old Xu, thank you anyway." Wang Jingang was touched and said with a smile: "I want him to assist you in this operation."

"!!!" Xu Guoqiang was surprised and turned to look at Wang Jingang.

"So anxious?"

He thought that Wang Jingang would assist in this operation. After all, he knew everything about him and was very comfortable with the operation.

Who knew that Wang Jingang would let the young Xiao Chenguang to assist him? Why?

"Old Xu, don't think too much. The main reason is that Xiao Xiao is too good. I feel more at ease with him than with myself."

Wang Jingang's words shocked Xu Guoqiang again.

Is this what Old Wang said?

In his impression, Wang Jingang is a stubborn person. He is the one who believes that the operation is the most important.

Even at the end of the operation, he had to sew the skin himself.

For such a person, he actually said that he felt more at ease with others' operations than himself. This is too exaggerated.

For the first time, Xu Guoqiang focused his attention on Xiao Chenguang who was silent.

He looks good, and was born with a good appearance. However, at such a young age, Wang Jingang's evaluation really made Xu Guoqiang a little curious.

"Old Xu, don't look at his young age. He graduated from the Provincial Medical University, a top student, a student of Professor Chen, with solid theory, rich experience, and impeccable operation..."

Seeing that Xiao Chenguang had aroused Xu Guoqiang's interest, Wang Jingang tried his best to praise him until he could hardly listen.

Then he stopped and said to Xiao Chenguang in a serious tone: "You heard what Teacher Xu said just now, why don't you come over to thank Teacher Xu."

"Hello, Teacher Xu." Xiao Chenguang smiled, bowed slightly.

Xu Guoqiang, who had been sitting in the car for a whole morning, felt uncomfortable on the road, but when he saw Xiao Chenguang's smile like a breeze, he felt refreshed.

It seems that there is always a youthful vitality in Xiao Chenguang, which can make people feel happy, and even the fatigue just now is swept away.

"Graduated from the Provincial Medical University?"

"Yes, Teacher Xu."

"Student of Mr. Chen?"

"Yeah."

"Not bad, not bad."

Xu Guoqiang nodded. His hardware ability is indeed good, and it can even be said that it is far beyond his peers.

"Please tell us briefly about the patient we are going to see later."

For someone who can make Wang Jingang praise without reservation, Xu Guoqiang instinctively took out the attitude of an expert and wanted to test him.

You know, reporting cases is the most basic ability of doctors, and it is also one of the abilities that can best test a doctor's attentiveness.

"The patient is a male, 56 years old..."

Xiao Chenguang blurted out without thinking.

Xiao Chenguang explained all the important and urgent matters in the medical records without missing a word.

He even used the standard case discussion handover mode, and the report was detailed and clear.

"Really good."

Xu Guoqiang nodded frequently, and he admired Xiao Chenguang's case report in his heart.

Lao Wang's apprentice is not ordinary.

He is better than the attending physician in his group in the provincial capital.

Xiao Chenguang marked the points that he needed to pay attention to in the whole case in advance.

Even the key steps in the operation were intervened in advance.

This kind of predictive thinking is probably unmatched by the surgical team leaders in the provincial capital.

After the medical record report was over, Xiao Chenguang immediately went to the operating room and began to prepare for the expert operation.

Xu Guoqiang and Wang Jingang went to the general surgery ward to visit the surgical patients.

After all, it was a provincial expert invited from outside to perform the operation, so Xu Guoqiang still had to meet with the patient and his family before the operation and chat with them to reassure them.

After the family members finished talking, Xu Guoqiang and Wang Jingang went to the operating room.

On the way, Xu Guoqiang wanted to say something but stopped.

Wang Jingang saw this and said, "What's wrong, Old Xu, just say it directly, there are no outsiders here."

"Why do I feel that our hospital has not developed at all in these years?"

Xu Guoqiang looked at the green and white walls and the concrete floor with some emotion.

He remembered that Shengli Hospital was an old and large hospital. It was established in 1964, 20 years earlier than their Provincial Second Hospital.

It was a state-owned enterprise hospital of the oil field. At that time, it had strong funds, and its personnel and technology were even more amazing.

It seems that kidney transplant surgery could be performed in the early 1990s, which is something that most provincial capital hospitals cannot compare with.

Why is it so destitute now?
