636 Boss: Handsome (1/2)

”Let's observe the surgery first then.” Zhu Tongyi brought Academician Du into the still-chaotic visitation room.

The few doctors from Beijing University Sixth Hospital looked at Associate Hospital Director Wang. But before Director Wang could utter a single word, everyone pretended they had not seen anything.

There were six academicians present at the scene. There was never a moment of respite for them. Now that so many had come up here in a single day, Wang Anzhi was starting to feel a little diffident.

”Ling Ran, let the assistants make preparations, follow us to the visitation room. You have yet to see the visitation room, have you?” Academician Zhu tugged Ling Ran. Since these academicians had arrived and some of them were even locals from Beijing, it was only natural that Academician Zhu would not let Ling Ran slip away immediately after meeting up.

Ling Ran did not give much thought about it, he just followed Zhu Tongyi and said, ”I have taken in the atmosphere in the visitation room when I was free the day before yesterday while it was early in the morning.”

Zhu Tongyi rolled his eyes. 'This silly boy really never knows how to cooperate with them.'

As for Associate Hospital Director Wang, he smiled and came up to mediate the situation. ”How did it feel?”

”Quite good. I quite like the live feed video system of yours,” Ling Ran answered.

”That is true indeed. I was the one who strongly advocated setting up the system in the beginning, or else, how could you look clearly at the surgery from dozens of feet away, am I right?” Associate Hospital Director Wang was amused and laughed out loud.

Ling Ran looked at him in bafflement. Mai Chun silently recorded his words.

The group walked slowly to the visitation room, and formed their own circles to converse. It ended up taking up significant real-estate.

Meng Shan could only brace himself and tailed them. His feelings were very complicated at the moment. He wanted to meet Ling Ran in person and have a chat, but he also did not want to show butt in.

Ling Ran had academicians protecting him. This was something that Meng Shan could not imagine even with his age and experience.

This was just a thought that flashed across his mind: if Meng Shan had support from Zhu Tongyi in the past, perhaps he would not have left the public general hospital. Perhaps he would not have been young and frivolous and just persisted with the idea of requesting for funds from the hospital to construct a department so that he could rise up the ranks in one go. If he had someone supporting him, there was no need for him to be in a hurry at all.

At the very least, even when Meng Shan left his own hospital, he could still go to others. An old and experienced academician like Zhu Tongyi had some influence in Beijing and Shanghai, but outside those borders, forget about going to the hospitals containing any of his disciples—Meng Shan could already head to several hospitals tied-in with the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center.

While he walked behind the group of academicians, Meng Shan had the urge to end the issue with Qi Yuquan, but was also worried that Ling Ran would raise his requests since he was supported by the academicians.

A group of academicians who had seen the world or the boss of a mine whose whole family was furious… Meng Shan chose the academicians for the moment.

*Creak.*

The doctors walking in front pushed open the door to the visitation room.

Upon arriving at the spot, Academician Du faltered and asked, ”I am not a doctor, but can I watch the surgery?”

”Sure.” Academician Zhu did not even give a thought about it. Then, he saw the expression on Academician Du's face and smiled. ”Go in and have a look, the face of the patient is beneath the drape. The entire body is covered underneath the drape, and the only part revealed is the part that requires surgery. Theoretically, you can only see the part that requires surgery. Furthermore, we have informed the patients and their family members that we will be observing the operating theater. None of them objected to it, and they have even signed the papers.”

Academician Du did not hear the last sentence. He only asked, ”The entire body will be covered?”

”Yes. During the surgery, we hope that we will only focus on the condition itself. The general principle of draping or the position of the doctor, are to meet the doctor's daily habits. If we use the same method to expose the surgical area for patients with different illnesses, the doctors will see a similar surgical field every time they perform an operation. Over the course of time, you would be very sensitive to every abnormality, just like how you would be when you stare at a screen on a computer for a long period of time.” Zhu Tongyi went in great detail, and he believed that Academician Du would understand it.

Academician Du slowly nodded as he followed Zhu Tongyi into the visitation room.

Through the gigantic floor-to-ceiling glass separating them, they could indeed see the assistants and nurses working hard in the operating theater to get ready for the tasks to come.

The head of the patient was elevated. There was still a drape covering the head. The parts below the neck were all covered by a green drape. The only spot that required surgery was the lumbar region, and that was the only part of the body exposed—a small portion of skin in the shape of a square.

Academician Du pretended to be calm as he looked down. His lips moved a little as he said, ”I basically can't see the shape of the person anymore.”

That description was indeed very accurate, and also very non-medical.

Zhu Tongyi slowly nodded and said, ”Our medical knowledge and medical theories are still in development.”

”Yes.” Academician Du responded. But he did not make another sound after that. He just looked down below. No one knew what was going through his mind right now.
