My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s - Chapter 361

Chapter 361: Chapter 354: The Most Proud Student

“This student of yours is not bad,” Director Liu could not help but compliment Director Tao, “I heard she’s only a sophomore.”

“Yes, a sophomore, she’ll be a junior next year,” Director Tao was very proud, this child was someone he had firmly snatched from Professor Hui’s hands, a promising seedling in surgery, if fostered well, she is sure to become a great doctor in the future.

“After graduation, can she work in our hospital?”

Director Liu had his eyes set on Tang Yuxin, amongst all the graduates over the years, she was the best one yet, and she was only a sophomore, merely 20 years old. Yet, she already possessed such skills, if she were to be trained well in their hospital, she would assuredly become a qualified resident doctor. Their hospital was just lacking such talent.

“Keep dreaming,” Director Tao was not oblivious to Director Liu’s intentions, ” This child is wanted by the Beijing headquarters, she is to go there after graduation, do you think you can keep her?”

“I want her to stay by my side for further studies, I even thought about keeping her in this school to be my assistant, but even I can’t keep her, what makes you think you can?”

Director Liu’s face fell, “Why is it always the headquarters? We are also short of talent!”

“They need more,” Director Tao had no choice, “Last time I visited, they requested the details of my students, without a word, none were kept except the one they were interested in, my student.”

“Young and easy to nurture, haven’t you noticed that her technical skills and experience give an impression of a doctor with decades of expertise.”

Director Liu kept nodding, “Exactly, that’s why I want to keep her.”

“Unfortunately…” Director Tao gave him a helpless look, “You’re too late, I can’t help you.”

Director Liu sighed, “Can you keep Shi Yuan for me, at least?”

“That is possible,” Director Tao could agree to this, “But forget about Tang Yuxin, too many eyes have noticed her, you won’t get to snatch her.”

“What else can I do?” Director Liu rolled his eyes, “I don’t have the courage to compete with the headquarters over doctors.”

“Let me tell you something else,” Director Tao leaned in closer against Director Liu.

“Go ahead,” Director Liu had already calmed down by now, nothing could shock him anymore. His most desirable talent had slipped through his fingers.

“I discovered this by chance.”

Director Tao looked at Tang Yuxin who was attending the patient with ease, only in times of dire need, could they realize how fast she had grown. It had completely exceeded his expectations.

“What is it?” Director Liu was slightly dispirited and spoke in a weak voice, because he was heartbroken.

“After saying this, you might not believe it,” Director Tao chuckled, “That child Yuxin, apprenticed with a village doctor to learn medical skills, but later I discovered that the village doctor must not be an ordinary person. Yuxin knows miraculous acupuncture techniques that could save lives when necessary.”

Director Liu was on the verge of tears.

“Can you talk to the headquarters on my behalf to keep her? They can set any conditions, I agree to all,” He clutched Director Tao’s clothes urgently, wondering why such an excellent talent didn’t belong to him? Why didn’t she belong to him? Why did the headquarters want to compete with him over people?

Director Tao shrugged, the only thing he could tell him was, he was sorry, he couldn’t make these decisions.

This talent was prepared for the headquarters.

At this moment, a commotion arose outside the hospital.

A group of orderly dressed men came striding over, carrying a young man on a stretcher.

“What happened?” Tang Yuxin had just finished her task and walked over to inquire about the situation.

Upon catching sight of the man on the stretcher, she paused in surprise, wasn’t this the older brother who walked her home that evening?

“What happened to him?” Tang Yuxin quickly grabbed the man’s hand. She remembered his name, it seemed to be Xu Fei.

“Rescue, car accident, vehicle’s wheel ran over his leg.”

A calm voice tinged with worry followed. She lifted her face and saw Gu Ning, whom she was overly familiar with, standing on the side. His clothes were covered in blood and he had some visible scrapes.

During normal times, this wouldn’t be a big deal. But it was the SARS period, not only the injured needed to be worried about, but also the chance of contamination.

“Get them masks first,” Tang Yuxin quickly instructed the nurse while, her, along with a few others, lifted Xu Fei into the operating room. Both Director Tao and Director Liu had come over, but after seeing Xu Fei’s leg, the injury was too severe, amputation might be necessary.

“Can amputation be avoided?” Gu Ning clenched his fists, “He’s only 25, so young, his future is limitless, plus he hasn’t married and had children.”

“His leg can’t be lost, we must not amputate.”

But what was the use of saying this now, with an injury like this, amputation was the only option. Otherwise, once the tissue necrosis spread, it wouldn’t be as simple as amputation, it would lead to death.

Choose life or leg, this was a difficult decision, nobody wanted to die, nobody wanted to cease living. But if the quality of life was worse than death, then why live?

Life is precious, one only has one chance in a lifetime, but for some people, some things are more precious than life, such as the things he loves.

Like Xu Fei, he was young, good-looking, he was a good person, and also an excellent technologist, but now that his leg was to be amputated, he’d rather die.

“What’s your decision?” Director Liu asked Gu Ning, a SARS outbreak was going on now, their medical resources were already strained. This kind of surgery was major and of utmost urgency, they couldn’t even have the luxury to wait for his family to arrive.

Gu Ning squinted his eyes, torn between a life and a leg.

“Start the surgery,” he turned away, unable to bear the sight of his good friend, who had studied and worked with him, grown up with him.

Director Liu has already arranged for the surgery, the urgency warranted them to start immediately, they could not afford to wait for any family member to arrive.

Just then, Tang Yuxin suddenly lifted her head…

“Wait a minute,” she placed her hand on the bed, clutching the sheets tightly.

“What’s the matter?” Director Liu also stopped, “Xiaotang, is there anything else?” But his attitude toward this student was just too good. He had no choice, he really wanted this talent, but it was a shame that they couldn’t afford her.
