Chapter 907: Chapter 794: Gathering a Crowd to Build a Bridge

The two Academicians were not joking around; they completed the hospitalization procedures at the fastest speed and then lay on the hospital beds, urging the nurses to quickly draw blood and arrange the preoperative examination.

Moreover, both Academicians had not eaten breakfast and were still fasting—it seemed they had come prepared, rather than on a whim.

Dean Liu and Commissioner Qiao rushed to the ward to work on the two Academicians’ mindset, they spoke at length, but to no avail. After much persuasion, Academician Ding, running out of patience, directly retorted, "What are you implying? You don’t want me to have the surgery promptly? You don’t want me to get rid of the ticking time bomb in my heart?"

This counter-question left Dean Liu and Commissioner Qiao speechless—they feared any further discussion would indeed lead to misunderstandings.

The bosses’ children of the two Academicians also rushed to the hospital to urge them not to be so hasty, that there would be plenty of time for thorough examinations and well-arranged procedures.

Academician Ye, who had a better temperament, explained a plethora of reasons to his family and ultimately convinced them.

Academician Ding had no patience to reason and directly asked his daughter, "Do I have coronary heart disease? Have I been diagnosed?"

The daughter replied, "Yes, it’s been diagnosed!"

"Is the left main artery blocked by more than 50%?"

"Yes!"

"Is the left main artery prone to sudden death?"

"Yes!"

"Is there an indication for surgery? Either a bypass or a stent?"

"Yes, doctors have long suggested a stent, but you were considering the long-term effects and have been wanting a bypass."

"Now that there is a doctor with the world’s top heart bypass skills, why shouldn’t I have the surgery quickly, why waiting, am I supposed to wait for sudden death?"

"---"

Academician Ding’s daughter was at a loss for words and gave up. To urge any further would be unfilial and akin to sentencing her father to death.

So everyone was left without options but to proceed with the card by the two Academicians, the only hope being that the preoperative checks would reveal some contraindications to delay the two hasty surgeries.

Unfortunately, the preoperative examinations of the two senior Academicians did not reveal any contraindications. After the checks, Academician Ding said to Director Dai with a chuckle, "Were you hoping to find something so that you could say—’Ah, surgery contraindication, no choice but to wait and treat before proceeding.’"

Academician Ye angrily said, "Young people today are more and more timid. I can’t understand it. Our surgeries are necessary, we’ve met the best doctors, why wait, what’s the purpose of waiting? Will coronary heart disease cure itself?"

"Yeah, these young people, when it comes to performing surgery on patients, are they hesitant? Without even seeing the patient themselves, just looking at the images they dare to make a decision—surgery! Yet when it comes to themselves, they become indecisive and timid."

"Exactly, it’s a sure thing, what’s there to fear? We are all surgeons, believe in science, huh? Have the surgery early, feel at ease sooner."

The two senior Academicians’ conversation among themselves made Director Dai and the other doctors nearby feel ashamed; the words of the Academicians seemed to make a lot of sense.

The surgeries for the two senior Academicians were quickly arranged, and then came the headache-inducing news for Dean Liu and Commissioner Qiao, the hospital’s leaders.

Somehow, the news had leaked that the two Academicians had been hastily admitted for cardiac bypass surgery in order to have Professor Yang as the chief surgeon. Several old staff members from the 301 heard and came inquiring, hoping to catch the same lucky break.

Even worse, several old cadres who were in the hospital for physical examinations joined the bustle, hoping to undergo surgery as well.

Since Academician Ding himself was from the cardiac surgery department and now actively sought surgery from Yang Ping, the exemplary power was immense. Those old cadres understood what that implied.

Dean Liu calculated quickly—there were five or six people demanding to be admitted for surgery, and he could not afford to offend any of them. Wasn’t this putting Professor Yang on the spot?

"Professor Yang, what should we do about this? I really need to explain properly, I truly had no prior knowledge, I had no idea they would demand emergency surgery so suddenly. Now so many people are piling up, this is getting—" Dean Liu himself was at a loss, having seen many situations in his years as a dean, yet never had he encountered anything like this and felt at a loss about dealing with it.

Commissioner Qiao’s skills in ideological work were also failing now, as several senior experts and old cadres would not listen to him at all. They just wanted to quickly get the surgery done, seeing that Academician Ding trusted him so much. If this young man had no issues, Academician Ding, a cardiac surgeon, wouldn’t hand over his surgery carelessly.

Dean Liu was anxious, but Yang Ping was not—he would merely have to delay his return by a day: "No worries, I can just postpone my return by a day. Whether it’s one surgery or several, let’s ensure the preoperative examination is thorough. If there are contraindications, it’s straightforward, we’ll exclude them. For those without contraindications, let’s arrange together."

Young people, fearless as inexperienced calves unconcerned by tigers—what if something unexpected occurred?

Dean Liu always felt something was not quite right about being so rushed.

"Don’t worry, it’s just a few surgeries. We can do them all using thoracoscopy, which disturbs the internal environment very little and has minimal trauma, with a quick recovery, so there’s no need for too much concern," Yang Ping reassured Dean Liu.

Meaning, treat it as a minor surgery.

Then, Dean Liu received another phone call and his expression darkened. After hanging up, he said, "Professor Yang, I shouldn’t have arranged this meeting. Now, several more people are clamoring for hospitalization and surgery, and the number has risen to 11."

"Look, 11 people have already been admitted to cardiac surgery; they are either our senior experts or old cadres. What should we do? I’ve just told Dai Yuansheng, we can’t accept any more, absolutely no more admissions, and for surgeries, we’ll schedule for another time."
