"Cough, cough, junior, you've picked up some bad habits."

Liu Ziang paused for a second, looked at Zhao Heng, smiled, and said.

Zhao Heng always gave him a feeling of light and joyful conversation.

Probably because they were both geniuses!

"Speak up, what's up? Surely you didn't just come to mooch off my coffee?"

Liu Ziang said to Zhao Heng again.

"If the coffee is this good, I'll definitely come mooch every day."

Zhao Heng replied with a laugh.

"You're so busy you don't have a moment's rest, and yet you find the time to drink coffee here every day?"

Liu Ziang ruthlessly punctured Zhao Heng's fantasy.

In fact, for doctors in this industry, once you become a deputy director or chief physician, you're not that busy anymore.

Take Liu Ziang, for example. Every morning, he would check the wards and then guide the resident and attending physicians on medication, and then handle surgeries that other doctors couldn't manage.

The rest of the time was almost entirely at his discretion.

The real workhorses are the resident and attending physicians below the deputy chief physician level.

"Yeah, I haven't passed the workhorse phase yet..."

"Actually, senior, there's a patient in the pain department with trigeminal neuralgia..."

Zhao Heng took a sip of the rich coffee and proceeded to introduce a trigeminal neuralgia patient in the pain department using strong acid for pain relief to Liu Ziang.

"Strong acid for pain relief? It's the first time I've heard of such a thing."

Liu Ziang said with some surprise.

Even though doctors see a lot, the idea of injecting oneself with strong acid just to damage nerves for pain relief was indeed unheard of for him.

"Yes, according to the patient's description, the amount of strong acid injected wasn't much. He was a chemistry teacher who had picked up a bit of medical knowledge and thought of using this method to directly destroy the nerve for pain relief."

Zhao Heng said.

"I can only say the idea is right, but he used the wrong material."

Liu Ziang remarked with some admiration.

Clinically, local blockade procedures for various neuralgias operate in a similar way to this bold chemistry teacher, except the chemistry teacher used strong acid, while doctors use glycerin or anhydrous ethanol.

"Yeah, if he had used anhydrous ethanol or something like that, it might have worked."

Zhao Heng said.

"Percutaneous trigeminal ganglia radiofrequency ablation can indeed achieve a one-and-done effect, but the risks are too high. Did you tell the patient about the risks?"

Liu Ziang asked.

"Yes, I told him, but the patient insisted on surgery, very decisively."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

"The cranial structure is complex and highly involved. Wow, you're recruiting me for this risky endeavor?"

Liu Ziang realized that although the procedure wasn't complicated, the high-risk cranial surgery seemed tailor-made for him.

"Senior, can only you recruit me?"

Zhao Heng also smiled and said.

He's not really recruiting Liu Ziang for the surgery but wants him to oversee the procedure.

In terms of cranial surgery, no one at Eastern Hospital is more skilled or experienced than Liu Ziang.

In the field of cranial surgery at Eastern Hospital, Liu Ziang is undeniably the NO. 1!

"Alright, what are your thoughts?"

Liu Ziang smiled and said.

"I want the senior to oversee it. Even though I'm confident, the risk of cranial surgery is still too high."

Zhao Heng said seriously.

Although he has absorbed many doctors' skills and experience, Zhao Heng isn't arrogant enough to believe he can handle all scenarios.

Being cautious ensures longevity, especially in the medical field. There's no shortage of experienced doctors who have been caught off guard!

"Sure. Your idea is right. While it's said that courage grows with expertise, you can never over-prepare."

Liu Ziang agreed without hesitation, appreciating Zhao Heng's professionalism.

Being a doctor requires both daring and thoughtfulness, but never arrogance. Once a doctor believes he can handle everything and stops listening to others, disaster isn't far away.

You never know what unexpected tricky situation might arise in a patient.

"Thank you, senior."

Zhao Heng nodded. With cranial expert Liu Ziang overseeing, the surgery is likely to go smoothly.

"No need for thanks. I'll keep recruiting you when the time comes."

Liu Ziang joked with a smile again.

"That's fine, but in the future, you'll supply my coffee."

Zhao Heng replied with a laugh.

To be honest, Zhao Heng felt that communication between men was much simpler and purer.

Communicating with women is much more tiring and requires more thought.

After leaving neurosurgery, Zhao Heng returned to his office.

As soon as he got back, Zhao Heng started preparing for the surgery.

Performing surgery isn't something you agree to just on a whim; a lot of preparation work is required beforehand, which involves many departments, not just the doctor's responsibility.

While Zhao Heng was busy, a cup of coffee suddenly appeared on his desk. Looking up, it was Xu Man Ni.

Why is everything happening at once?

He had just filled up on coffee at Liu Ziang's, and now he's having more?

"Drink up, it's freshly ground coffee I specially bought, not instant stuff."

Seeing Zhao Heng looking at her, Xu Man Ni said with a smile.

Watching the one you love drink the handmade freshly ground coffee you bought might just be a simple form of happiness.

Xu Man Ni couldn't help but think.

"Umm...okay..."

Already filled with coffee from Liu Ziang's place, Zhao Heng, whose stomach would make sloshing sounds with a slight movement, hesitated but nodded and took a small sip of the coffee Xu Man Ni bought.

"How is it? Tastes good, right? I tried several places, and this one's the most authentic."

Seeing Zhao Heng drink it, Xu Man Ni said with satisfaction and happiness.

"Yes, indeed, it's quite good."

Zhao Heng put down the coffee and internally wiped his brow.

First overstuffed at breakfast, now filled with coffee, Zhao Heng felt like he was becoming a glutton.

Too much love can indeed be overwhelming.

"What would you like to eat tonight? I'll buy it after work."

Xu Man Ni asked again.

Thinking of the wonderful time alone with Zhao Heng in the evening, Xu Man Ni felt particularly excited, wishing work would end in an instant.

"Anything's fine, but let's eat a bit less tonight, for health reasons."

Zhao Heng hesitated a bit and said.

Seeing Xu Man Ni looking at him with passionate eyes, Zhao Heng inexplicably felt a bit of soreness in his lower back and his calves trembling.

"Alright, then continue with your work."

"I've got a little surprise planned for you."

Xu Man Ni whispered into Zhao Heng's ear.

Having said that, she walked away happily.

Seeing Xu Man Ni leave, Zhao Heng felt a sense of relief.

This thirty-something woman is really something!
