Back to 1999: From operating surgeon to becoming a top doctor - Chapter 509

“Secretary Li, you’re here!”

“Hurry, hurry, stop blocking the door, make room for Secretary Li.”

Secretary Li suddenly came to the ward corridor and immediately caused a commotion.

There were many people gathered in the corridor, some from the hospital and some from relevant departments.

Some of them knew Secretary Li, while others did not know him before but just got to know him during the old man’s illness.

But anyway.

Everyone present knew the position that Secretary Li held in the heart of the provincial governor.

To use the words from Hong Kong movies to describe him, he is definitely the one who has the final say.

However, after they made way, Secretary Li did not take the lead.

Instead, he stopped and stretched out his hand to let the young man beside him go forward.

“Xiao Xiao, bed 2.”

Secretary Li said respectfully.

In fact, Xiao Chenguang didn’t need Secretary Li’s guidance. He could see that the corridor outside the bed was full of people.

“good.”

Although Xiao Chenguang didn’t recognize the people standing in the corridor, he still nodded slightly.

After all, most of the people standing here are from the hospital, and Xiao Chenguang is very familiar with this scene.

Xiao Chenguang, who had been greeted, didn’t say much. Led by Secretary Li, he walked directly into the ward.

It wasn’t until the door closed that the people in the corridor outside responded.

“Who was that person just now? How could Secretary Li be so respectful?”

“I’m not sure, but when Secretary Li left just now, I heard from the people inside that he was waiting for experts from outside the hospital.”

“Expert? That young man, maybe?”

When everyone thought that the young man who was not even wearing a white coat just now was actually the expert that Secretary Li had greeted, they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, someone suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.

“Did you hear what Secretary Li called that young man just now?”

“What’s your name? Why didn’t you hear it?”

“Xiao Xiao! That young man’s surname is Xiao, and he is an expert that even Secretary Li needs to invite. Can you think of any expert named Xiao who is so young in the provincial capital during this period of time?”

As everyone fell into deep thought, a cry of surprise like thunder exploded in the crowd.

“Expert Xiao… could it be him?!”

As the director of the respiratory ward, Yu Shoucheng naturally thought of the provincial health care experts meeting held in the Provincial First Hospital a few days ago.

At that time, I heard that the newly appointed chief expert was very young and was respectfully called “Chief Xiao”.

At that time, not only were all the leaders of the health system present, but Secretary Li also authorized it personally.

Even the provincial leader, who was very busy with affairs of state, came to the scene in person.

The more Yu Shoucheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. After all, who else could be the expert that Secretary Li personally “invited” to be so young except for the newly appointed chief expert?

“The expert is here and will definitely ask about the condition. Go in first and we’ll talk later if you have anything else.”

Yu Shoucheng’s throat was surging, and 껩 walked into the ward together.

…

There were not many people left in the ward at this time. They all had heavy expressions and were silent.

The old man was lying on the hospital bed with a painful expression and obvious breathlessness. Even from a few meters away, one could hear the old man’s two lungs wheezing like a cattail leaf fan with holes in it.

“Chief Xiao is here.”

Because Secretary Li has a close relationship with Xiao Chenguang, he can call him “Xiao Xiao” in private, but in front of everyone, he still respectfully calls him “Chief Xiao”.

One is out of respect, and the other is to introduce Xiao Chenguang in front of everyone.

After all, in the entire ward, except for that guy from the province, no one else knew very much about Xiao Chenguang.

But at this moment, the appearance of Chief Xiao shocked everyone who didn’t know Xiao Chenguang.

Since they can stand in the ward, they are naturally the leaders of the hospital’s decision-making level, but even so, they are still a certain distance away from the provincial health experts.

I know that in the entire Qianyi, there is only one provincial health care expert. At this moment, he has led a team to the lower-level cities to prepare for the hospital grade evaluation tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

But Chief Xiao standing in front of them now is not only a member of the provincial health care expert group, but also the chief expert of the provincial health care expert group.

I don’t know how much higher his status is than theirs.

“Chief Xiao!”

“Chief Xiao!”

Following Secretary Li’s introduction, everyone stood up and looked at Xiao Chenguang.

Yu Shoucheng, who had just walked into the ward, happened to see this scene.

“!!!”

Although Yu Shoucheng was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard the three words “Chief Xiao”.

Especially those who usually have the final say in the hospital, now they are very reserved when seeing Xiao Chenguang.

Even though Xiao Chenguang was incredibly young, no one dared to be negligent in the slightest.

At this moment, the person guarding the bed stood up and walked towards Xiao Chenguang.

“Xiao Xiao, I’m sorry to bother you this time.”

The man’s face had long lost its usual casualness, and fatigue was visible between his brows. Although his face remained dignified, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes when facing Xiao Chenguang.

That’s right, it’s anticipation.

At this moment, facing Xiao Chenguang, this person is no longer the high and mighty leader of the provincial capital.

He is a son who is helpless in the face of his seriously ill father.

At this moment, he knew very well that no matter how powerful he was, he could not save his father’s life.

Because every doctor who talked to him about his condition shook his head helplessly.

Some even suggested that he be transferred to another hospital in the imperial capital.

But now, due to my father’s illness, he can’t make the long journey to the imperial capital.

Even though he had used his connections to ask Academician Zheng from the imperial capital to come for a consultation.

But it was a long journey, and even if we hurried, it would not be until after dawn.

Moreover, after hearing the father’s medical condition on the phone, Academician Zheng could not guarantee that his father would be able to overcome this difficulty.

One frustrating piece of news after another made him realize that his father might not survive this time.

“Secretary Liang, please check on the old man’s condition first.”

Xiao Chenguang naturally saw the worry in Secretary Liang’s heart. He didn’t say anything polite, but went straight to the old man’s bedside.

“Old man, it’s 놖, do you remember 놖?”

Xiao Chenguang held the old man’s hand tightly. Although it was just a simple action, in the old man’s heart, it was an inexplicable encouragement.

“Remember……”

The old man’s originally dim eyes suddenly lit up the moment he looked at Xiao Chenguang.

Even though he was in a state of confusion at the moment, he could still remember that it was Xiao Chenguang’s surgery that saved his life when he fell ill.

“Don’t worry, old man. I will do my best to cure your illness.”

Xiao Chenguang comforted the two and prepared to auscultate the patient’s lungs, but when he instinctively touched his neck, he was suddenly stunned.

As he came in a hurry, Xiao Chenguang did not wear a white coat, and naturally did not bring a stethoscope.

“Quick, who has a stethoscope? Give it to me!”

Secretary Li responded the fastest at the scene. While Xiao Chenguang paused, he started asking questions.

Faced with the questioning, the scene was a bit awkward.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Those who can enter the ward are leaders at all levels. However, it is precisely because of the leaders that they have long lost the habit of carrying a stethoscope.

In other words, they used to be doctors, but they got used to being away from clinical practice, which gradually changed them.

“With so many people guarding here, there’s not even a stethoscope?!”

At this time, Secretary Liang’s face began to cloud over, and Secretary Li, who was always angry, became even more angry.

When everyone was trembling, a faint voice came from the corner.

“The leader… has a stethoscope.”

Yu Shoucheng, who had just entered the room, didn’t care about anything else. Under the gaze of leaders at all levels, he took off the stethoscope hanging around his neck and quickly handed it over.
