Chapter 741 - Chapter 741 【741】The patience of the doctor is extremely

Chapter 741: [(741)] The patience of the doctor is extremely important Chapter 741: [(741)] The patience of the doctor is extremely important Through her words, Yue Wentong realized he had been too anxious.

“Squad leader, with Senior Tao here, there’s nothing to fear,” Xie Wanying soothed the squad leader further.

“I know, he’s slow to react—-” Yue Wentong didn’t dare to voice the last three words, but everyone knew Tao Zhijie seemed to do things very slowly.

Standing at the operation table, Tao Zhijie, his gaze like a dense array of needle holes, scanned the monitor back and forth, where others might scan once, he could do it a hundred times.

Completely different from the people in General Surgery Department Two.

No wonder, despite recognizing his strength, people from General Surgery Department Two didn’t like working with him. As Gao Zhaocheng had said, those who liked him would really like him, and those who didn’t wouldn’t no matter what. It was just a case of incompatible personalities that could never mesh.

Was Senior Tao really a slowpoke? Hearing the squad leader say this, Xie Wanying was surprised. It seemed the squad leader hadn’t interacted much with Senior Tao, so she was more inclined to believe what others said.

“Senior Tao is not a slowpoke,” Xie Wanying clarified decisively for her senior, “He responds urgently when needed and takes it slowly when necessary. Like at the beginning, when he knew Zhao Zhaowei’s condition was not simple, he immediately ordered hospitalization, which was a prompt action, wasn’t it? That’s not being slow. But a surgery to investigate an unclear medical condition indeed requires much patience from a doctor. Not all doctors have the patience of Senior Tao. That’s why Senior Cao and Senior Zhu both said that having Tao Zhijie as Zhao Zhaowei’s attending physician was Zhao Zhaowei’s good fortune, and they weren’t just saying that without reason.”

Not all doctors have patience. Yue Wentong thought back to his own mother’s misdiagnosis, even with top-notch experts, someone had not looked carefully and had practically sentenced his mother to death. Senior Tao’s “slowness” was truly a patient’s good luck.

Then, looking at the quiet operating room where speaking required the chief surgeon’s permission, even if their whispers were extremely soft, Tao Zhijie would’ve ordered them out long ago if he’d been displeased. This was tantamount to saying that everyone in the room had heard their conversation.

In private, both Cao Yong and Zhu Huicang actually stood up for Tao Zhijie. Everyone who had heard the rumors of a fallout was probably quite surprised.

Each person secretly glanced at Tao Zhijie’s face, then at Cao Yong by the bed. One was focused on performing the surgery, the other was watching the anesthesia machine, as if oblivious to everything else. No one dared to openly question what was happening.

The surgery reached a critical stage.

“Prepare the cholangioscope,” Tao Zhijie issued an important directive, clearly intending to thoroughly examine the patient’s liver.

Everyone could sense his firm resolve, just as Xie Wanying had said.

“You handle the liver retraction,” Tao Zhijie instructed He Guangyou, the first assistant, while he passed the laparoscope he had been using for exploration to He Jiuliang.

At this end, a nurse was preparing the cholangioscope equipment.

The assistant readied to retract the liver, a necessary step since the common bile duct is hidden below the liver and partial retraction of the liver is needed to expose the common bile duct for the chief surgeon to work on it.

Carefully handling the surgical instruments, He Guangyou meticulously retracted part of the liver’s edge.

The chief surgeon’s ultrasonic scalpel entered the patient’s abdominal cavity, dividing the lesser omentum.

Then using surgical scissors to make a small incision in the common bile duct, around 7mm wide to insert the cholangioscope for examination.

The standard diameter of an adult’s common bile duct is 5mm, so the outer diameter of the fiber cholangioscope must be less than 5mm; it is a very fine and soft electronic inspection device. The head features a single rotating button to adjust the direction of the light source, with a small button for focusing. This delicate electronic instrument requires careful and gentle handling. Nurses handle it with extreme care.
