Chapter 1103: Chapter 1103: Unexpected
As soon as the words were spoken, many people shook their heads repeatedly, showing mostly disapproval.
“Dean, I think this matter doesn’t need any discussion. This Bai Xiao! I’ve seen her, she looks like she’s barely in her twenties. Even if she’s a surgeon! To be blunt, which of us surgeons hasn’t undergone rigorous training before getting onto the operating table.
This young doctor dares to boast she’s a top brain surgeon; who believes her? Who would dare entrust patients into her hands? Who would be responsible if something went wrong?”
The Vice Dean was the one who came off the operating table just now, also the top surgeon at our Military District Hospital, named Liu Zaishi, and considered a top surgeon in Yun Province.
“Dean! I also think this matter is questionable. If Bai Xiao really makes a mistake, no one can bear the responsibility, especially in neurosurgery. Who dares to put their head in the hands of an unknown young doctor? It’s not like they’re tired of living.”
“Yes! Dean, I don’t think it’s reliable either. Such young people should be directly rejected. They want to run before they can walk, so reckless. Is she taking advantage of our Yun Province Hospital’s lack of experience, or does she think we’re a bunch of old fools?”
“Exactly! It’s so outrageous.”
“Ignore her; she truly has no idea how high the sky is.”
The Dean gestured for everyone to quiet down. “I initially thought like you all, but I have a feeling that a young doctor would dare to say such things to us, it seems mere arrogance isn’t enough to sustain her courage.
She said she’s a doctor at Modu Hospital and interned at Ruiyin Hospital in Modu. I happen to have an old classmate at Ruiyin Hospital, and I’ll call him now to confirm.
After all, Modu Ruiyin Hospital was indeed at the forefront of neurosurgery nationwide a while ago; this was reported in the newspapers. It’s better to verify than outright reject.”
The Dean had his own thoughts. Earlier, Bai Xiao had accurately identified the issue with the steel pin, which even an MRI couldn’t reveal. A Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner identified it by feeling the pulse.
Regardless of whether you believe it or not, it’s a fact. The Dean didn’t want his judgment to be wrong again, especially since Bai Xiao’s name sounded familiar. He couldn’t figure out where he’d heard it, but he definitely had.
Up to now, no one had connected this Bai Xiao in front of them with the recently circulating legendary Bai Xiao.
The phone quickly connected.
Being considerate, the Dean put the call on speaker so all the doctors present could hear their conversation.
“Old Xu, it’s Old Gao.”
“You wouldn’t visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason; you don’t even call me normally. Why are you calling this time?”
“Why say that? We’ve been friends for so many years, yet you talk to me like this?”
“Alright, alright, you must not have anything good to ask me. Just say it, I’m busy here.”
“It’s like this, I’m inquiring about someone. I heard there’s a doctor named Bai Xiao interning at your hospital.”
With a smile, the Dean knew his old classmate was still as straightforward.
With his medical skills, he could have been a Dean long ago, yet he’s still a Director, all because of his temperament.
“Bai Xiao, what’s up with Bai Xiao? What do you want to ask?”
“Here’s the thing, I just want to know how Bai Xiao is doing at your hospital.”
“You even ask how she’s doing? Are you out of your mind? Recently, the provider of antibodies in that notorious epidemic was none other than Bai Xiao. No, now it should be Doctor Bai. She’s a renowned top surgeon here in our hospital.
Dr. Xue, you don’t know? This Bai Xiao is Dr. Xue’s last disciple. The first brain tumor surgery at our hospital was her involvement. Doctor Bai is incredible. The entire surgical procedure was written by her into a rigorous report, complete with illustrations, which is now used as a textbook in our hospital.
She participated in all subsequent neurosurgeries, thrice as the first assistant, and six times as the lead surgeon. Now, what do you say? How is she?”
Dean Gao gasped. He had thought the name Bai Xiao sounded familiar, but he truly didn’t expect the Bai Xiao mentioned in the hospital announcement to be this Bai Xiao right before him.
Now, the conference room was silent, and all the Directors who had criticized Bai Xiao earlier were now dumbfounded.
Who could have imagined this Bai Xiao was the Bai Xiao they admired?
It was known that Bai Xiao’s feats were almost legendary to them.
Using family-taught acupuncture in battlefield hospitals as a substitute for anesthesia, saving countless lives, standing side by side with her fiancé in a minefield, sharing life and death experiences, and quickly becoming a top surgeon in Modu Hospital, even participating in such advanced brain tumor surgeries.
In the remote area of Gui Province, she contracted the epidemic, yet developed antibodies, and the vaccine was developed based on them, saving almost global populations. Yet they doubted such a Bai Xiao.
Everyone felt a knot in their chest.
“Alright then, no more, no more, you go ahead and keep busy.”
Dean Gao decisively hung up the phone.
On the other end, Director Xu, listening to his call being disconnected, was a bit dazed. Is Old Gao out of his mind? He called all the way just to ask these two questions?
Really idle.
Dean Gao hung up the phone, and now everyone’s gaze in the conference room was heated.
Bai Xiao’s previous proposal, though they criticized it thoroughly, now all the surgical Directors were filled with hope, knowing experience is needed in neurosurgery and they lacked craniotomy skills. If they could receive Bai Xiao’s guidance, their craniotomy skills would improve.
Their hospital initially didn’t perform neurosurgery, but if Bai Xiao selflessly guided them, even leading them as assistants in surgery, their hospital would fill this void.
Becoming the first hospital within Yun Province capable of performing craniotomies.
Such a possibility was unimaginable normally, knowing hospitals don’t easily share their specialties, and surgeons won’t easily assist without a reason.
To learn such techniques, they wouldn’t acquire them in ten or twenty years, even through internships at other hospitals.
But now, Bai Xiao merely proposed a simple condition to perform surgery as an external guest doctor for her own brother.
Their earlier thoughts were utterly foolish.
