Chapter 1180 Compete Against One Another

“But then… Are you just going to give up this spot? If that’s the case, when the medical conference is held, everyone will assume Jian Yiling is a better surgeon than you…”

Her colleague’s words poked Fei Qing’s sore spot.

Why should she just give up what she had in the past two years?

After a moment of silence, Fei Qing replied: “Well, true gold isn’t afraid of the test of fire. If I’m capable and talented, I shouldn’t care about these superficial things.”

Jian Yiling was currently part of Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch. If she wanted to compete against her, she would have the opportunity to do so.

If she proved herself, then no one would assume that there was any meaning or additional weight behind attending the medical conference.

“Mhmm, you’re right. You’re definitely talented. You should compete against her to prove that you’re the best surgeon in Lahaisen Hospital.”

“Compete?”

“Yeah, you should compete against her. Every month, our hospital gets some rather difficult cases. Some of which we don’t usually accept. If you want to show that you’re better than Jian Yiling, you should compete against her in one of these cases. Once you win against her, everyone inside our hospital and outside our hospital will know that in terms of medical skills, you’re definitely better than Jian Yiling.”

Upon hearing these words, Fei Qing was silent for a moment. She felt that this proposal was feasible.

If she won against Jian Yiling, everyone will learn that Jian Yiling was merely a pretty girl who was good for nothing.

And even if she lost, there was nothing to lose. Either way, their leaders had already decided that Jian Yiling was going to be representing their hospital at the medical conference. By then, everyone else would already assume that Jian Yiling was the better surgeon.

Furthermore, as Jian Yiling was working here, it was highly likely that they would eventually work on a case together.

“I vaguely remember our hospital refusing a cancer case last week?”

“You mean the old patient who was diagnosed with cancer? The one you persuaded his family to take back?”

“Mhmm, the one with lung cancer that had the lesion in between the intersection of his trachea and blood vessels. As the cells were wrapped around both, the surgery was deemed to be incredibly difficult.”

Everyone knew that if cancer cells grew on the lobe of the lung, it was not very difficult to remove them.

However, if it grew at the intersection of the trachea and blood vessels, the surgery would be incredibly difficult.

If the surgeon accidentally touched the trachea and blood vessels, the patient was likely to die on the operating table.

Furthermore, the patient was very old already. He was well into his seventies. And thus, Lahaisen Hospital did not recommend surgery as any small mistake would result in him losing his life. There was no need for the patient to suffer through this.

After returning to her office, Fei Qing pulled up the patient’s information.

As the chief physician, she had the power to accept or reject a patient.

Previously, she decided against accepting this patient because she cared about Lahaisen Hospital’s reputation and her own reputation.

However, she wanted to take a gamble.

And thus, she went back on her words and accepted this patient. Then, she sent a message to her colleagues that were responsible for contacting patients.

In the evening, Jian Yiling left work with Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun pulled Jian Yiling over and hurriedly told her what she had just heard.

“Yiling, are you going to compete against Dr. Fei, the chief physician in the surgery department?”

Jian Yiling gave Zhang Yun a slightly puzzled look before she replied: “Surgeries that save lives should not be a competition.”

“I know they shouldn’t be a competition. However, I heard that Dr. Fei accept an incredibly difficult case. That’s why everyone’s saying that this will end up being a competition between you and Dr. Fei.”
