Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Chapter 658: 658: One must not perform surgery on their relatives. Chapter 658: 658: One must not perform surgery on their relatives. Xie Wanying raised her head to see a group of seniors crowding into the ultrasound room to look at the examination results, Zhao Huaming was among them.

Speaking of which, Teacher Tan seemed to be a bit talky tonight.

Tan Kelin was never one to speak more than three sentences in a row.

“Call Dr. Tao over!”

Teacher Tan suddenly became fierce, and Xie Wanying hesitantly passed the mobile phone to her senior brother.

Tao Zhijie, looking at the preliminary patient lesion images on the ultrasound machine, turned around to see the mobile phone his junior sister handed him and flashed surprise in his eyes: What’s this?

“Teacher Tan wants senior brother to take the call.”

Tao Zhijie took the mobile phone: “Dr. Tan.”

“Is Professor Zhao Huaming planning on treating his grandson himself?”

“Impossible!” Tao Zhijie firmly denied, “This is not a minor illness, how could he treat his grandson himself? Even if he wants to, neither the department nor the hospital would allow it.”

What’s going on! Xie Wanying was shocked by the conversation between her teacher and her senior brother. The department and the hospital wouldn’t allow it? For what reasons wouldn’t they allow it? The law doesn’t explicitly prohibit doctors from treating or performing surgery on their own relatives. Could some hospitals have internal rules against it, fearing complaints of nepotism?

The question involved the possibility of her performing surgery on her grandfather in the future.

Tao Zhijie was also puzzled: Tan Kelin had him take the call to ask about this instead of first asking about the patient’s condition.

“His teacher will call later to ask Hepatobiliary Surgery about the situation,” Tan Kelin explained; it’s not his own student, so don’t ask indiscriminately. Asking would be a violation of the patient’s right to privacy, and then he reproached Tao Zhijie, “Make it clear to my student. She thought you informed his grandfather to treat him.”

What!! Tao Zhijie turned back in surprise, his gaze falling on his junior sister’s face. His studious junior sister was unexpectedly stubborn about such matters.

Xie Wanying met her senior brother’s assessing gaze and remained tight-lipped. Before the situation was clear, it was best not to divulge anything about her grandfather.

“Do you really think Professor Zhao would treat his own grandson?”

“Yes.”

“Yingying, let me tell you, it’s impossible. Doctors don’t treat themselves for any sickness, nor do they treat their relatives for serious illnesses. This is a unanimously recognized viewpoint within our hospital. Otherwise, major problems could easily arise. — Do you understand?” Tao Zhijie lectured her earnestly.

“I — understand,” Xie Wanying said, although she didn’t truly understand in her heart. If the doctor is confident in treating their own relative, or only that doctor has the skills to do so, what then?

“Do you have anything you don’t understand?” Seeing she had questions, Tao Zhijie asked.

“Do you mean we can’t treat people we are familiar with? If so, can teachers no longer treat students? Can students not treat teachers? It’s impossible for colleagues to treat each other, right? Can’t we treat our friends?” Xie Wanying fired off a series of questions. In her mind, this was completely unachievable. Before her rebirth, she had seen colleagues treating each other in the hospital. She had done it herself, too.

“Yingying, a friend is a friend, a teacher is a teacher, a student is a student, a colleague is a colleague, and a relative is a relative. If they were all the same, there would be no distinction. Your household registration book wouldn’t list someone as a relative without a blood relationship. So when we say ‘relatives,’ we mean immediate family, and it doesn’t extend to ancestors eighteen generations back. ‘Not treating relatives for serious illnesses’ means not conducting major surgeries that involve life and death.”
