648 Walnut Cake-like Blood Vessels (1/2)

The operating theater and visitation rooms in Beijing University Sixth Hospital were both see-through rooms, but there were different access points.

The young nurse from the Department of Surgery took out a small transparent bowl containing vascular pieces from the operating theater, came out from the side door, and carefully brought it to the visitation room.

At the entrance of the visitation room, Professor Feng Zhixiang, Zhu Tongyi, and Associate Hospital Director Wang stood at three sides respectfully. They had waited for so long that they had grown impatient.

”Give it to me.”

”Yes…”

”I…”

The three men practically spoke at the same time, leaving the young nurse awkwardly holding the small vessels.

”Give it to me,” Associate Hospital Director Wang said again.

He was the associate hospital director, so the young nurse obediently handed the small glass bowl to him.

”Let's look at it together,” Associate Hospital Director Wang said and brought the small glass bowl to the middle of the visitation room. The young doctors at the side handed them a pair of clean forceps and other things.

Associate Hospital Director Wang positioned the small bowl on the table, took the pair of forceps, and poked at the vessel piece.

”How is it?” Behind him was a curious assistant lecturer from the General Surgery Department.

”Give it a try.” Associate Hospital Director Wang did not answer directly. He wanted to use the pair of forceps to pick up the vessel piece, so he extended his hand forward, but retracted it.

After turning around, Associate Hospital Director Wang even gave up his position.

Feng Zhixiang had been waiting impatiently behind him. He took the forceps and said ”let me” before he took the best center position.

He was a true General Surgery Department expert, not only in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, but also in the General Surgery Department.

Although Feng Zhixiang did not get the opportunity to enter the Chinese Academy of Engineering because the General Surgery Department's academic intensity was not deep enough. In the medical world, those that were reputable were still reputable at the end of the day. When he stood in this room as a medical expert, Feng Zhixiang did not feel diffident even when he faced Zhu Tongyi. So what if he was the academician from the Chinese Academy of Engineering? He was still from the Orthopedics Department.

Zhu Tongyi was already old. He could not be snatching for work anymore. Once he gave in a little, others did not dare jump in. Several doctors who were holding forceps also did not extend their arms into the glass bowl.

Feng Zhixiang extended the forceps, but as he gently touched the vessel piece, he stopped.

For someone who had performed forty to fifty years of surgery, his familiarity with the human body could be described as such: a foodie at twenty-two years old who went to the same hot pot restaurant three times a day. Every meal, he would order pork aorta and eat it for forty to fifty years, and hence, he would be very familiar with pork aorta. Feng Zhixiang's familiarity with the human body would be ten times the familiarity of such a foodie to pork aorta.

One could imagine that when Feng Zhixiang used a pair of forceps to poke the vascular piece, he felt just like how a foodie would see the pork aorta served by the store and poked it with chopsticks.

Whether today's pork aorta was crispy or not, or whether it was fresh or not, or how long should the pork aorta be cooked… If someone who had eaten forty years of pork aorta still did not know such details after poking it with chopsticks, he cannot be called a foodie. He would most likely be cooked into a pork aorta by another foodie.

Feng Zhixiang went into the zone right when he had his hands on the forceps, but unlike Associate Hospital Director Wang who stopped at a timely manner, Feng Zhixiang raised his wrist, tested the grip around the forceps, lowered his back, and gently picked up the piece of vessel piece with the forceps.

The vessel piece that was removed from Academician Du's liver trembled in the air like a used and broken mulch plastic film flickering on a vegetable farm.

Feng Zhixiang slowly turned his wrist and dropped the vessel piece into the glass bowl and placed the forceps aside.

The doctors in the visitation room looked at Feng Zhixiang with curiosity.

However, due to Feng Zhixiang's status, no one asked this time.

Feng Zhixiang just smiled, but gave up his position and invited everyone to try it out themselves.

Associate Hospital Director Wang coughed and said, ”Academician Zhu?”

Those who came from far away were guests. Besides, he was also an academician.

”Then I will try first.” Zhu Tongyi did not decline his ”duty” and stood up before he picked up the forceps. He went straight to poke at the vessel piece.

When he reached the edge of the bowl, Zhu Tongyi could see the smirk from the corner of Feng Zhixiang's mouth.

It was a mocking smile, a condescending smile that a general surgery surgeon would naturally give to an orthopedist.

Zhu Tongyi was shocked, people in the field of general surgery were never good. Beijing University Sixth Hospital's Associate Hospital Director Wang also came from the field of general surgery.

So, Zhu Tongyi pulled his wrist back, the tip of the forceps agilely took a turn at the side of the bowl. Then, while Zhu Tongyi held the forceps, he gently poked at the vessel piece.
