Chapter 45: Doctors have no authority~~Ten minutes later… Lin Feng successfully guided the wire to the location of the myocardial infarction.
Next step: retrieving the blood clot!
Lin Feng stepped aside and handed the task over to Dr. Zhang Faxing to perform. After an hour, the blood clot was successfully extracted and placed in a plastic container (the type that shows the clot’s coagulation pattern).
The entire operating room collectively sighed in relief.
The surgery was a success!
The young man’s life had been saved!
At that moment, applause filled the entire operating room. The applause was not only for Director Zhang Faxing but also a tribute to Lin Feng’s outstanding performance.
“Dr. Lin, impressive!”
“Incredible!”
Words of praise filled the air, full of admiration from the interventional doctors and nurses.
Lin Feng humbly acknowledged the compliments, washed his hands, removed his surgical gown, and left the operating room.
Outside, he encountered the anxious parents of the young man who had been waiting. Lin Feng didn’t say anything and simply left.
Shortly afterward, the operating room doors opened, and Dr. Zhang Faxing delivered the good news to the young man’s parents.
“Congratulations, the surgery was successful… your son’s condition is stable!”
“Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!” The parents were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude profusely.
Dr. Zhang Faxing felt a bit ashamed. “Don’t thank me. You should thank Dr. Lin Feng from the Emergency Department. He came to help me and made the surgery successful.”
“What? That young doctor?” The parents were shocked.
“Yes, it was him.”
“Then we must go back and thank him properly!”
The parents felt both ashamed and grateful. They planned to make a banner to express their gratitude and send it to Lin Feng as a token of appreciation for saving their son’s life.
…
Back at the emergency department, Lin Feng had barely returned when he received another phone call from the Cardiovascular Surgery department.
Another surgery was in progress, and they again needed Lin Feng’s assistance!
“Seriously?”
“Why is everyone looking for me?”
“I want to rest, darn it!”
Well, he decided to go. After all, he had fallen in love with this profession.
Lin Feng sighed and, accompanied by his mascot, Zhang Yuan, headed to the Cardiovascular Surgery ward.
To his surprise, this visit would last through the entire night!
…
The next morning.
After completing a life-saving surgery in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department, Lin Feng was washing his hands and reflecting.
Twenty hours?
Working overtime every day, losing track of time, Lin Feng couldn’t even remember the taste of the street food anymore. Finally, he finished this surgery and was eager to go out and enjoy himself!
Lin Feng washed his hands, took off his surgical gown, and tossed it into the specialized medical waste bin. With his feet in slippers, he kicked the foot-operated button near the operating room floor (designed to prevent doctors’ fingers from touching bacteria).
In the hospital, doctors often prefer wearing slippers. Don’t inquire why; just try working continuously for 20 hours, and experience immediate relief when you remove your shoes.
Zhang Yuan caught up with him and inquired, “Is your shift over?”
“Yeah,” Lin Feng replied.
Casually, Lin Feng asked, “When did you start your shift?”
“Well, I…” Zhang Yuan was about to respond when he nearly spat blood, exclaiming, “I’ve been standing on the opposite side of your surgery for over an hour! I even acted as your second assistant, and you didn’t notice me? Remember, I’m the one who approved your surgery! Don’t forget your position as an intern! Can you perform surgeries without my approval?”
Zhang Yuan’s eyes filled with resentment, thinking, Even if I’m not the most noticeable, I’m still your supervising doctor. You, an intern, couldn’t even see me!
Lin Feng suddenly realized and apologized, “Sorry, hahaha! I was wondering why the assistant’s role seemed odd. My bad.”
“” Zhang Yuan couldn’t believe it, and he nearly spat out blood, collapsing to the ground and convulsing.
As a senior doctor, I humbled myself to assist you, and you say it’s a mismatch? Zhang Yuan thought, feeling utterly frustrated.
Lin Feng quickly tried to remedy the situation, realizing things were going south. “Haha, it’s all good. Let’s continue to improve next time. I must go now before Director Zhou sees me or another emergency patient arrives, and I can’t leave.”
He made a hasty exit to avoid further embarrassment. Emergency physicians lead a demanding and often grueling lifestyle, with no fixed working hours. The idea of a regular 9-to-5 schedule is nearly unthinkable for them. If they don’t act quickly, a critically ill patient might be rushed in just as they change into regular clothes.
Lin Feng left the hospital, and the bright sun outside temporarily blinded him. He couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder there are so many rumors about affairs between doctors and nurses in the hospital. Their relationships are kept internal. Who has time to interact with the outside world? Having a romantic relationship is nearly impossible.
When he realized the traffic was heavily congested, Lin Feng was about to hail a taxi, so he decided to wait for the bus instead. He noticed a middle-aged woman with a long-legged girl standing next to him. They appeared to be a mother and daughter waiting for the bus.
The girl was attractive, and Lin Feng couldn’t help but glance at her.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman glared fiercely at Lin Feng and scolded him, “Kid, if you keep ogling at my daughter, you’re a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh!”
Lin Feng was shocked.
The long-legged girl secretly stole a glance at Lin Feng, thinking, Damn, he’s handsome!
Her face blushed secretly. She pulled her mother’s arm and said, “Mom, stop making a fuss. It’s just a glance.”
The middle-aged woman didn’t relent. “Although the mother is unhappy, the daughter and the young man are willing. Hehe.”
People around them burst into laughter.
“Haha, the overprotective mother is worried for nothing.”
“The young ones won’t be stopped!”
“The key is that the young man is good-looking!”
However, the middle-aged woman wasn’t pleased and continued criticizing Lin Feng, scolding her daughter for showing interest in him.
Lin Feng was left speechless.
