945 Roller Coaster (1/2)
”Every single time, I become stronger after going through loneliness. Every single time, I won't shed a single tear even when I'm hurt…” Tengri sounded like a lost eagle as he sang ”Invisible Wings” by Angela Zhang, and his voice was so bad that it was as if Angela Zhang's ankle was stuck in his mouth.
Huo Congjun hummed along joyously, though. until the circulating nurse whipped out his phone and placed it beside his ear.
”Hey, Old Kang. Why did you call me?” Huo Congjun sounded like a wild eagle who encountered a wild rabbit, an illegal tour guide who encountered an illegal tourist or a lousy model who encountered an idiotic rich man's son. He seemed to be very earnest in making small talk.
The nurses and the anesthetist raised their heads to look at Huo Congjun.
As they were carrying out cardiovascular surgery, all the nurses were experienced one from the Department of Surgery. The anesthetist was also an attending physician who often worked for the Cardiovascular Surgery Department. This was why they were rather concerned when they noticed that the call was from Department Director Kang.
Huo Congjun gestured at Doctor Zhou with his eyes.
Doctor Zhou immediately understood. He turned and said, ”Let's continue. Department Director Huo will communicate with Department Director Kang.”
Faulkner the foreigner did not care about all this. When he received confirmation that he could continue with the surgery, he immediately grabbed the scalpel and made an incision,
He was not worried about performing this kind of emergency surgery at all. Moreover, Faulkner really desired to carry out this surgery. When it came to his skills in hepatectomy and gastrectomy, there was not really any more room for improvement. It was not because he had reached the peak. It was because the peak was too difficult to reach, and he had already given up on it.
Of course, it was even harder to reach the peak when it came to cardiovascular surgery. Faulkner had no intention of striving for the peak either. He was just rather interested in cardiovascular surgeries.
No matter which department a surgeon was from, he or she would definitely desire to perform cardiovascular surgery if the chance came around. Of course, if they had the chance, they would rush to become an orthopedist in the Orthopedics Department. It would be best if they also had the opportunity to carry out cardiovascular surgeries.
Ling Ran stood opposite Faulkner and merely stared at him without saying anything. He looked like he was really intending to act as an assistant.
On the other end of the line, Department Director Kang's voice was very loud. ”I'm rushing toward the hospital, and I'm on my way. Old Huo, our department never had many surgeries, to begin with. Please don't snatch this one away from us.”
”How long do you need to arrive?” Huo Congjun raised his head to look at his watch.
”Ten minutes.” Department Director Kang gave an approximation.
”The patient won't be able to wait for you for another ten minutes. Let's end the call now.” Huo Congjun chuckled and tilted his head. He then gestured at the circulating nurse to hang up.
Department Director Kang shouted, ”Department Director Huo, seven minutes. I'll be there in seven minutes!”
”The patient won't be able to wait for you for seven minutes.” Huo Congjun's voice was flat.
”Five more minutes, Department Director Huo!”
”Sigh, no one knows what would happen in five minutes.”
”Department Director Huo… can't the patient wait for even five more minutes…? I'm accelerating at full speed already.”
”Reduce the speed a little, then. Don't go over the speed limit. What if something happens?” Huo Congjun saw that the surgery had already begun, and he said nonchalantly, ”No matter who carries out this surgery, it wouldn't make any difference. It's just cardiac trauma repair. This is probably nothing special to the Cardiovascular Surgery Department, isn't it?”
”It's special to me. Department Director Huo, just wait for me for a few more minutes, and I'll be there. There're only a few people in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department. What's the point of snatching surgeries from us…?” Department Director Kang's voice rang out from the receiver and floated around the operating theater like a lonely fart. No one welcomed his voice as it rang beside their ears.
Huo Congjun was obviously treating his voice like a fart and totally ignoring him.
In Yun Hua Hospital, the Cardiovascular Surgery Department was basically the size of a grain of sesame. If a person were to make comparisons, even though the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery would also be a grain of sesame, the grain of sesame would be a little bigger than the one representing the Cardiovascular Surgery Department.
In short, Huo Congjun did not use to launch cardiovascular surgeries in his department because he did not know how to do it. None of his subordinates knew how to do it either.
And right now, to give Ling Ran a chance to act as an assistant in cardiovascular surgery and afford Ling Ran the possibility to start performing cardiovascular surgeries, Huo Congjun could not care less about what Department Director Kang thought.
The circulating nurse said in a hushed tone as she held the cell phone. ”Department Director Huo has begun the surgery.”
As expected, the person on the other end of the line let out a growl.
The circulating nurse carefully hung up, as if she would be able to dodge part of her responsibility that way.
