System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

The operating room is a special place, and surgical operations are special techniques.

Sunlight and ordinary lamps cannot meet the needs of operating table illumination.

As soon as it’s turned on, the shadow-free lamp in the operating room automatically focuses on the surgical field.

But there are things that capture the eyes even more than the shadow-free lamp, like right now, Associate Chief Physician Xiao Jihong from the Department of Anesthesiology in the operating room stood up, tipping on his toes curiously to look at the operating table.

Unlike Xiang Dahong and Shi Changjian who are focused on Lu Cheng’s specific operation, Xiao Jihong is merely observing the scene at the operating table.

Normally, it should be Xiang Dahong as the chief surgeon at this moment, with the younger Lu Cheng and Shi Changjian gazing at him with admiration, curiosity, and respect.

Lu Cheng is evidently younger than the other two assistants, it is apparent!

Yet this surgery is being led by Lu Cheng, with his knife movements smooth and his cuts delicate and meticulous.

The two elder ones, engaged in silent understanding and exchanged glances, their expressions surprised and admiring.

This scene is somewhat bizarre.

Even Xiao Jihong, who has been at Xiangzhou People’s Hospital for decades and followed many senior chief physicians to undertake new surgical techniques across the state, found it hard to refrain from sighing upon witnessing this:

The world has changed.

While Xiao Jihong was watching intently, the head nurse of the surgical operating room somehow stood beside him, lightly touching his hand: ”Director Xiao, do you know this young man?”

Liao Xuefang, head nurse of the operating room, the hospital’s biggest ”nice person,” ’matchmaker,’ having helped at least dozens of couples get together.

Being referred to as the ’goddess’ in the hearts of many junior nurses who newly joined the operating room.

”Why are you here?” Xiao Jihong’s tone was not friendly.

Although Liao Xuefang is the head nurse, she is actually only thirty-seven years old, a good dozen years younger than Xiao Jihong.

When Xiao Jihong was promoted to associate senior level, Liao Xuefang was still a very young nurse; she is now the head nurse.

However, Xiao Jihong did not favor Liao Xuefang. In his view, Liao Xuefang had ventured down the wrong path. With her free time, she could completely devise ways to send some nurses for advanced training to become specialized nurses at senior hospitals, rather than organizing networking events with other departments...

”Someone reported to me, saying a handsome guy arrived at the surgical operating room and asked for information.” Liao Xuefang said in a lowered voice.

”I said I’d come face-to-face and make a quick appearance, and I don’t even know this person, what’s the origin?”

Xiao Jihong, hands behind his back, said: ”From the Emergency Department, has mostly been stationed at the emergency operating room, of course you wouldn’t know him.”

”Invited by Director Xiang Dahong from Hand Surgery for consultation and surgical guidance. A tech professional.” His tone disdainful.

Liao Xuefang recognized these elements: ”I know, I know. Tech professionals don’t date or start families?”

”Send me a message when the surgery is over, just by looking at the demeanor and behavior, he’s a fine young man, skillful with his hands, could find a good girl.”

Xiao Jihong rolled his eyes: ”If you were a bit younger, wouldn’t you want to go for it yourself?”

Liao Xuefang’s appearance is adequate, although she is thirty-six or thirty-seven, thanks to proper care she does not appear old, her figure voluptuous but not overweight.

Upon hearing, Liao Xuefang furrowed her brows slightly, then shook her head: ”I can’t handle such a man myself.”

”I’m thinking maybe Lailai from Internal Medicine could work, or Little Keke from Dermatology would be suitable.”

Xiao Jihong chuckled: ”Not just within your operating room? Aren’t you afraid of being scolded?”

”It has to be balanced on both sides. Director Xiao, if you’ve never been a matchmaker, you wouldn’t know — pairing requires considering abilities, strength, background, appearance, and education evenly.”

”Only then is a fulfilling relationship possible...”

While the two were quietly chatting, Chief Surgeon Lu Cheng gently laid down the scalpel into the curved tray, breaking the silent atmosphere of the operating room: ”Director Xiang, my debridement is about done.”

”The rest is up to you.” He added.

”I don’t dare show off with this limb replantation.” Lu Cheng’s modest talk was intercepted as Xiang Dahong politely took over: ”Dr. Lu, if you’re modest with me, that’s overly courteous.”

”With what you’ve displayed, you are inevitably tied to limb replantation.”

”I know you are busy now, when you’re not on duty, I’d appreciate if you could come by for guidance!~”

Lu Cheng saw Xiang Dahong accept without refusal, so he slowly stepped back a few paces, preparing to leave the table.

The remaining surgery, Xiang Dahong would surely complete it well, otherwise he wouldn’t even qualify as the associated director of Hand Surgery: ”Director Xiang, I’m still young, in my development phase, quite fragile you know.”

Xiang Dahong glanced at Shi Changjian: ”Dr. Lu, I mean it sincerely!~”

”Those suturing techniques groom my admiration. If it weren’t for the fact that you are exceedingly busy, I would’ve sought private consultation long ago!”

”Last time, I intended to visit you in the Emergency Department but you happened to be at Huaxi for studies.”

”To be realistic, Director Lu, I too wish to advance...”

”So, this unceremonious request comes off casually.” Xiang Dahong’s tone and expression were both genuine.

As the associate chief physician at a prefecture-level hospital, Xiang Dahong is still relatively young, not yet close to fifty years old.

He is about to advance to the senior rank, naturally he wishes to achieve some accomplishments at Xiangzhou People’s Hospital!

If he merely follows Director Liu Jun’s old path, he can only become the second Director Liu or Liu’s stand-in.

After breaking through this promotion barrier, Xiang Dahong has always pondered what he could leave behind for the Hand Surgery department at Xiangzhou People’s Hospital, or what he could strive for...

During those years as an associate chief physician, Xiang Dahong focused solely on learning technology, climbing the ranks, specializing, working hard to heal, and making money.
