Chapter 1082: 【1082】Must be the scalpel that cuts out the malignant tumor

Speaking of which, he had stumbled over his grandson’s matter before, and was truly grateful to the young lady Xie Wanying for her relentless effort in giving his grandson a hand.

President Wu nodded and as his gaze swept across Cao Yong sitting next to Tao Zhijie, he said: "There’s no need to fear what she has written being difficult to read. No matter what, could she possibly be more inclined to curse us out than Cao Yong back in the day?"

Old Naughty Boy said he had wanted to curse people out four years ago. Cao Yong listened with an expressionless face.

"Speak!" President Wu commanded Tao Zhijie.

What’s the use of dawdling now? At this stage, one cannot afford to hesitate anymore. Teacher Zhang has passed away, but Teacher Lu is still among the living. If Tao Zhijie hardens his heart, he should take out the stack of papers written by Xie Wanying and scan the writing on the pages with his sharp eyes.

The elegant handwriting seemed a bit sloppy due to the rush of writing at night, but the contents were well-organized. Tao Zhijie’s lips tightened.

"Why aren’t you reading?" President Wu pressed him.

Section Chief Yang anxiously stood up, moved behind Tao Zhijie to sneak a peek with the others, and quickly made out the content of what Xie Wanying had written through his glasses, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Sitting beside the two of them, Cao Yong sharply caught their fleeting expressions. Knowing her straightforward nature when it comes to academic issues, it seemed that what she wrote was like a scalpel, ready to remove the mental tumors of those seated here. Only by excising these psychological tumors could they hope to start curing Teacher Lu’s actual tumor.

Her efforts cannot be wasted. With that thought, Cao Yong grabbed the papers from Tao Zhijie and said: "I will read it."

After all, everyone present knows about his desire to curse people out four years ago, and since he had already been driven away once, he had nothing to fear. If she too gets dismissed, he would join her in leaving.

By the time Tao Zhijie snapped back to his senses, Cao Yong had started to read and he could only retract his hand.

"Listen up. She has listed ten points here, your ten cardinal sins," Cao Yong started as if half-joking.

The others sitting there inadvertently straightened their backs, finding it amusing, wondering when it became a medical student’s place to discuss their "sins".

"The first mistake you made is being overly optimistic. These words are not hers but my own summary. The first piece of evidence she presents talks about your excessive optimism," explained Cao Yong succinctly.

(Xie Wanying: Senior Cao, it’s clear that you are really the scalpel aiming to excise the malignant tumors.)

"Go ahead," the group responded with laughter, familiar with Cao Yong’s personality.

"After the initial examination of the patient, the various indicators were not very good, yet you rushed to operate on the patient first. It can be said that the preoperative planning was not rigorous. She has analyzed this from the preoperative discussion records in the medical history and the subsequent surgical records. The result of being too optimistic was that the initial preoperative treatment plan was too conservative, which led to difficulties during surgery when rapid pathological diagnosis during the operation deviated from the preoperative prediction," he expounded.

The attending doctors became anxious upon hearing this and said: "Teacher Zhang’s preoperative indicators at the time were not entirely poor. The tumor was five centimeters in size when discovered, which isn’t large for Hepatobiliary Surgery. We were relatively optimistic at that time. But no one took Teacher Zhang’s case lightly. Teacher Zhang wanted to have surgery as soon as possible to clarify the situation, so we chose the surgery date taking the patient’s condition and his wishes into account."

Someone else questioned the medical student’s understanding: "Students are naive, that’s why they are keen on such medical discussions. Those who have been in clinical practice for a long time know that some things are quite superficial to discuss."
