He Liang took the advantage of being partially drunk to deshell the egg boldly.
The basis of becoming a successful surgeon was to be bold but cautious.
A cowardly surgeon would not be successful. At most, he could only become a doctor in the General Surgery Department, and he would be a truly normal surgeon in all sense of the phrase.
Meanwhile, if he wanted to become a cardiologist, being bold was essential, regardless of how skilful he was.
The surgeon would have to push the needle through a beating heart and suture it in a surgery like cardiac trauma repair. Without courage and without the guts to take on a responsibility, the surgeon would not be satisfied even if he was able to perform a surgery like this.
There was no need to even mention the need for them to be attentive and observant.
Even if He Liang drank some alcohol, his hand still held the egg steadily.
He put one end of the egg in a champagne glass. Then, he held it gently with his left hand, steadied the egg, and held the osteotome with his right. Then, he cut the surface of the egg with a strength that was neither too light nor too heavy.
As the line became clearer, the egg shell gradually became loose, and it started to shake.
Associate Hospital Director Zhou held a glass of wine like the king enjoying watching his subjects performing a sword dance. Then, he chuckled and said to Huo Congjun, “It looks good.”
“Quite interesting.” Huo Congjun nodded as well.
Department Director Kang smiled faintly and said, “We always do something similar in the department.”
“Like the simulation training space of the Hand Surgery Department?” The first thing that came to the Associate Hospital Director Zhou’s mind was the mouse room in the Hand Surgery Department that cost millions of RMB.
Department Director Kang picked up the champagne glass and took a sip. Then, he smiled and said, “We can’t afford a simulation training area like the Hand Surgery Department. It’s already good enough that we can have an egg to practice.”
Huo Congjun was slightly drunk. When he heard this, he subconsciously smiled and asked, “Do you want a simulation training space?”
If it were another department director asking, Department Director Kang would answer with laughter, because he knew other department directors could not affect the probability of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery getting a simulation training space.
However, Department Director Kang knew that Huo Congjun just built an 8-bed ICU in the Emergency Medical Center.
That was way more expensive than a simulation training space.
“Aren’t you paying too much attention to the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department Director Huo?” Department Director Kang picked up a piece of lobster. It looked as if it was sparkling slightly under the light, just like a big, irregularly shaped pearl.
“Shouldn’t the departments care about each other?” Huo Congjun spewed nonsense in front of him.
“If the Emergency Department really cares about us, you should send more patients with cardiovascular diseases over,” the drunk Department Director Kang complained.
At Huo Congjun’s position, his impact on the emergency system was not as simple as the repositioning of patients. For example, when Ling Ran performed Achilles tendon repair, he could get many patients with ruptured Achilles tendons for him. Therefore, sometimes, the patient needed by the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery might be passed to other hospitals by Huo Congjun.
Department Director Kang was not very certain whether this was the case, but he had truly wondered about it before.
Department Director Huo laughed and answered in a hostile manner, “It’s easy to pass the patients to you, but you should be able to treat them.”
“We can’t improve in just one or two days,” Department Director Kang answered casually. He pointed at He Liang and said, “He Liang might be peeling off the egg shell easily right now, but he spent months practicing this motion alone.”
Huo Congjun looked at He Liang before he smiled at Department Director Kang. ‘He’s not exactly doing it easily, you know?”
Department Director Kang was stunned. ‘Did you not get the point of what I’m saying?’
As He Liang was peeling off the egg shell, he also listened to the conversation among two of them. When he heard Department Director Huo saying that he was not doing it easily, he became very mad.
‘How could he say something like this?!
‘Although I’m really not doing it easily, shouldn’t he be encouraging me at this time?’
“Doctor Zuo, Doctor Lu, do you want to try?” Department Director Kang asked Zuo Cidian and Lu Wenbin, who sat quietly across him.
“I’ll pass.” Zuo Cidian knew about himself very well, so he would never stand out when it was the time for them to show off their skills.
Lu Wenbin showed a smile as well and said, “I haven’t played this before, so I’m not joining.”
“It’s not difficult, just try and see.” Department Director Kang showed a faint smile, and he took a glance at Huo Congjun.
Huo Congjun schooled his face. “When the Emergency Medical Center performs surgeries, we like to operate on the patients boldly, and we don’t like doing things meticulously. Even Ling Ran didn’t practice this way in the past. He performs an average of at least three surgeries a day, and he always needs to perform more than six surgeries every day, so he can be said to have a specialization in the industry…”
The main reason behind why Huo Congjun gave this explanation was because he wanted to give Ling Ran a way out so that he would not be checkmated by the doctors from the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery.
Honestly, this “peeling off the egg shell” thing was a way for the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery or Neurosurgery Department to show off. They usually needed five to ten years’ time to train up a qualified, so it was also pretty normal for them to occasionally look down on the General Surgery Department and Emergency Department.
However, Kang Jian’s Department of Cardiovascular Surgery was so weak that Huo Congjun was not willing to be looked down upon, and he believed that Ling Ran also had the same thought with him.
“I’m done peeling it.” He Liang carefully put the egg into the champagne glass, put the glass at the center of the turnplate, pushed it slightly, and made it turn until it was in front of Associate Hospital Director Zhou.
Only a quarter of the egg shell was left on the egg, and half of that quarter remained on top of the egg. The rest of the egg was supported by the egg membrane, and the liquid from the egg white and yolk could be seen clearly.
“Nice. You’ve done it really well.”
Associate Hospital Director Zhou took the lead and applauded He Liang.
The waiters around the table also looked at He Liang differently, and this made his face blush.
“Doctor Ling, try it.” He Liang passed the osteotome.
When he made the suggestion, his idea was to compete with Ling Ran.
He could talk about it in great length if he won against a doctor like Ling Ran in a competition, but even if he lost, it was nothing to him. After all, if they both could compete on the spot, it was the best advertisement for He Liang.
For a junior attending physician from a small department like him, being able to enter the sight of the hospital management with this was not bad.
Ling Ran naturally took the osteome over.
A waiter who had been staring at him immediately handed over a big egg that was specially chosen.
He Liang was stunned. ‘This egg is double the size of my egg, can this be considered cheating?’
He Liang did not feel that it was right for him to say anything, as it was not an open competition…
Naturally, He Liang’s mood was not very good. He lifted his glass again, stood up, and said, “Associate Hospital Director Zhou, I propose a toast to you again…”
Associate Hospital Director Zhou smiled and nodded. Hee took a sip and asked, “Ling Ran, are you carving a word? What are you engraving?”
“Yes, engraving feels more fun,” Ling Ran answered.
As He Liang listened to this, he spilled his alcohol. He quickly turned around, and he saw Ling Ran holding an egg with a hand while he brandished the osteotome on the egg as if he was spinning a pen.
The egg was so stable like it was stuck on Ling Ran’s hand, but the egg shell was weak, like the friendship between the colleagues in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery…
He Liang was completely stunned as he watched.
“Doctor Ling, you’re engraving really quickly.” Associate Hospital Director Zhou smiled and said so that there were no awkward silences during the time.
Department Director Kang and He Liang hummed softly in agreement.
“What letters have you engraved?” Associate Hospital Director Zhou asked out of his curiosity.
“Look.” As Ling Ran spoke, he lifted the osteotome, and a piece of the egg shell fell off. The remaining egg shell showed a small line of beautiful text.
Zuo Cidian immediately walked forward. He did a half squat and raised his head to read it out loud. “When a great physician treats diseases, he has to be mentally calm and resolved. He should not give way to wishes and desires, but has to first develop a heart filled with kindness and compassion. He should commit himself firmly to a willingness to take the effort to save every living creature out of kindness.”
