Chapter 1549: Chapter 628: The Demeanor of a Courtyard Doctor; Criticism as a Form of Care
Dr. Xu didn’t say much the entire time; at this moment, he just followed Zhou Can out of Director Lou’s office.
"I see you’ve been quite proactive lately in treating various neurological diseases!"
Dr. Xu asked with an implied meaning.
"Hehe... I’m proactive in treating diseases in any field; medicine takes a lifetime to learn and still isn’t finished. I just want to learn a bit more medical knowledge in all areas during my lifetime."
Zhou Can laughed dryly to play it off.
"Diagnosis and treatment in the neurological field has always been like dancing on the tip of a knife; it’s a bit better in Internal Medicine, but surgery is like walking on a tightrope in the air. I really appreciate your dedication, but you must act within your capabilities and protect yourself first. That would be the greatest repayment to me."
Dr. Xu just doesn’t like to talk much, but he is actually very wise.
He just refrains from easily expressing his opinions on many matters, but he understands everything deep in his heart.
Zhou Can has recently been taking on lots of significant cases in the neurological field, and Dr. Xu has already guessed what he’s trying to do.
As a mentor, seeing his disciple be so grateful and trying hard to help him shed the chains of blame, he feels very gratified, but also filled with worry.
The risks in neurosurgery are too great.
"Okay, I’ll be extra careful. By the way, Director Wu has called me to follow him in surgeries to learn some skills and experience in the neurosurgical field."
He mentioned this matter to Dr. Xu, as a form of respect.
Back in the ancient times, if a disciple wanted to apprentice under someone else, the first master had to agree.
Otherwise, it would be equivalent to betrayal, a serious offense.
In modern society, such feudal thoughts are not so prevalent, but respecting teachers and valuing the path is still a virtue.
Especially in the fields of medicine, scientific research, etc., it is particularly evident.
"Director Wu is a very good person, looking stern, lonely, and unapproachable, but in fact, he is full of a sense of justice. Back then, he, Hu Kan, and I fought in the field of surgery together. We even planned to elevate Tuya’s surgical department to a world-class level, but now everything has changed. Old Hu has passed away, and I am in a bind. Alas..."
Dr. Xu, speaking of his past ambitions, couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Recalling the past, becoming a hero lost in time.
The surgical department back then had their three famed scalpel-wielders, invincible in their time, and the scene must have been splendid.
Unfortunately, the glory was like a fleeting moment of brilliance, soon withering away.
Time and fate are unpredictable.
If Dr. Xu’s sharp knife hadn’t gotten into trouble back then, Tuya Hospital might not necessarily have achieved great accomplishments in the field of surgery.
"Every era produces new talents! Xiao Zhou, your talent in surgery surpasses the three of us. I believe that in less than ten years, as long as you keep steadily progressing, you will surely lead a new era and create an unprecedented golden age for Tuya Hospital’s surgical department."
Dr. Xu had high hopes for him.
He was full of confidence in him as well.
"Teacher, you’re overestimating me! At best, I’m just a bit diligent."
Listening to Dr. Xu’s vision for the future, Zhou Can couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Leading a new era feels a bit beyond his reach.
For now, he focuses on improving each branch of his medical skills, striving to become more knowledgeable and excel in his specialized areas.
"Is humility ingrained in your bones? Well, it’s good; keeping a low profile can make you more stable, avoiding the mistakes I made back then. Go on with your work!"
Dr. Xu looked at his beloved disciple, eyes filled with gratification, expectation, and a touch of helplessness.
As a mentor, he feels increasingly lacking confidence in front of his disciple.
Zhou Can’s achievements have long surpassed Dr. Xu, with his medical skills advancing rapidly in all respects, reaching considerable heights, and his status and position in the hospital and department are also rising.
This is the pace of a comprehensive surpassing of his master.
Watching his disciple grow rapidly step by step, he couldn’t help but feel many emotions.
Zhou Can arrived near the triage desk, where Cheng Xiaolu was still by her mother’s side, waiting for fate’s verdict.
If Zhou Can couldn’t help her mother get admitted, she would basically go home to prepare for the funeral.
"Director Zhou..."
She looked at Zhou Can with anticipation; he was like a beacon of hope for her mother’s life.
"Our department head barely agreed, but there are some conditions."
Zhou Can told her.
"Thank you, thank you! I will agree to any conditions!"
She was so moved to tears upon hearing the hospital agreed to admit her mother.
It’s easy to understand this deep bond of familial affection.
To save their children, many parents are willing to donate their organs, like a kidney, as long as it matches, without hesitation.
Anyone knows losing a kidney has a huge impact on life and health, even threatening life.
Yet they still do it without hesitation, driven by the inextricable familial ties.
Few children would be willing to lose an organ to save parents, though.
Cheng Xiaolu, to save her mother, wasn’t just saying it; she was genuinely willing to give everything.
This filial piety, this love for parents, this selflessness in family bonds, is truly moving.
It makes sense why daughters are considered the little cotton-padded jackets of their parents.
"You are probably aware of your mother’s condition; it’s very serious. Our hospital admitting her involves significant risk. In her situation, surgery is certainly needed for a hope of recovery, and that risk is higher. Before performing surgery, you must agree to the hospital’s disclaimer so that we doctors and nurses can save her with confidence. Otherwise, if we put our all into saving someone and you still end up suing us, it would be heartbreaking."
