Chapter 559: 268 Surgery (Second Revision)

The woman looked up to see a thin, tall, extremely handsome man standing in front of her. She was taken aback for a moment, then quickly brushed her hair away from her face and greeted him with a smile, “Are you a relative of the patient?”

Bo Yuxun’s gaze fell on the badge on her chest; she was a cardiology intern, Lin Xia.

He ignored her and pushed open the door to the ward.

Lin Xia raised an eyebrow, seemingly impressed with the man’s unique character.

Then came the sound of the emergency alarm from inside the room. Lin Xia hurried in, only to see Bo Yuxun pressing his fingers against the patient’s abdomen. As the patient’s complexion grew increasingly pale, Bo Yuxun’s face also darkened.

“What ... what are you doing?” Lin Xia demanded.

Qi Ka, hearing the emergency alarm, rushed in and was taken aback by the scene in the room.

“The patient’s complaining of pain in the abdomen and back, has rapidly increasing blood pressure, an accelerated heartbeat. Can you tell me what your physical examination revealed?” The man demanded coldly, his tone asserted certainty in a way that inspired immediate concern.

Lin Xia wanted to question his authority, but the weight of his icy gaze rendered her speechless; the resolve in his eyes was as suffocating as a weight upon her chest.

“He has coronary heart disease caused by high blood pressure, an old ailment.”

“Have you looked into the patient’s age, medical history, and medication history?”

Lin Xia stuttered, “I didn’t admit the patient. I’m just an intern. What’s more, who are you? What gives you the authority to question me?”

Meanwhile, the old man on the bed had bulging eyes and a purplish complexion. He suddenly began to gasp for air and clutched tightly onto Bo Yuxun’s arm, “Save ... save me, it hurts...”

Lin Xia instinctively stepped back, taken aback by the sight.

Bo Yuxun looked at Qi Ka and calmly commanded, “Prepare for oxygen therapy, establish an IV access, administer nifedipine intravenously, notify the emergency room, prepare the operating room.”

Seeing Bo’s composed demeanor, Qi Ka hurriedly set out to follow his instructions.

Lin Xia, feeling helpless, asked, “Who exactly are you? Do you not realize we are in a hospital? This is not a place for you to do whatever you please.”

Qi Ka ran in with a tray. Bo Yuxun took a syringe, expertly broke the vial, pulled back the syringe, and administered subcutaneous injection, executing the sequence of actions smoothly.

After administering the medicine to quickly lower the patient’s blood pressure, the patient’s pain subsided. As Qi Ka prepared the oxygen equipment, she glanced at the tall man before her and couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask who you are...?”

Before she could finish, Lin Xia interjected, “Are you out of your mind, Qi Ka? Do you just do whatever he asks? If anything happens to this patient, none of us will be able to bear the responsibility. I think he’s only here to cause trouble.”

Qi Ka pressed her lips together, “Dr. Lin, didn’t you notice the patient’s abnormal condition? If anything really happens to the patient, we won’t be able to bear the responsibility either.”

The recent news in their department and even the whole hospital, 12 years ago there was a prodigy named Dr. Bo, referred to as the youngest associate attending physician since the establishment of the hospital. Those older doctors and nurses still spoke of this legendary doctor with admiration and respect in their eyes.

He chose to go abroad when his career was skyrocketing 12 years ago, and he had really made a name for himself overseas during these 12 years. His name had even become a symbol. Last year, he was voted one of the top 100 outstanding people worldwide, he had been hired as a columnist professor in the authoritative medical magazine The Lancet. Leaving out his theoretical achievements, just his clinical ones, no one of the younger generation could match.

The news of his return to China and taking the position of Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery exploded throughout the hospital.

The return of their heartthrob, Rong Jun, left everyone from the near-retirement old ladies to the seventeen- or eighteen-year-old nurses eagerly waiting in anticipation, filled with hope.

The man from just now, could he really be the returning Dr. Bo? The legendary prodigy from the State Medical College, and now the youngest head of a department in our hospital...

She assumed that someone with such huge achievements would be a bald, middle-aged man. She didn’t expect that he would be so young and handsome; comparing those pretty-boy actors in the entertainment industry to him is simply an insult.

Lin Xia felt as if she had been hit by lightning.

What had she just done? Said? My God, she was done for.

Lin Xia was on the verge of tears, Xu Shuhua no longer spared her a glance, leaving her with the words, “Go and write a self-criticism, reflect on yourself.”

——

During the surgery, Xu Shuhua couldn’t help but admire Bo Yuxun’s elegant and steady knife work, it was such a complex and tense surgery, yet he was still leisurely and calm, as if he wasn’t facing a life-threatening disease, but a plate of fine, exquisite Western cuisine.

He watched the tall figure hunched over the operating table, Bo Yuxun was very serious during his operations, he’d always been like this, completely focused no matter what he was doing.

Twelve years, too many people and things had changed.

The sunny and cheerful big boy of the past had evolved into a mature and steady man.

But the cost was, the light in his eyes had diminished.

No more smiles could be seen on his face.

Leaving the finishing touches to his assistant, Bo Yuxun stepped away from the operating table, took off his surgical attire, he was drenched in sweat.

At this time, his cell phone in his locker was relentlessly ringing, Qi Ka said, “Director Bo, it’s been ringing for a while now, I think there must be something urgent.”

Upon finding out that this man was the newly parachuted-in director, Qi Ka could no longer hide the admiration in her eyes.

Bo Yuxun opened the locker, took out his phone and took a glance.

He frowned, then directly hung up.

Xu Shuhua quietly sighed, it seemed that Yuxun had still not wholly let go of the past.
