"Dr. Zhao, it's ready."

Tian Zhen swiftly completed the disinfection and linen draping, speaking to Zhao Heng.

For a surgeon, having a nurse who cooperates well with instruments can save a lot of trouble during surgery.

However, at Eastern Hospital, most surgeons simply work with whoever is available.

As for specifically choosing someone, that's certainly too much to hope for.

However, Zhao Heng and Tian Zhen are both in the same department now, so working together doesn't require special arrangements.

As for why it's Tian Zhen and not Xu Man Ni?

Frankly speaking, Xu Man Ni's future direction is similar to Gao Jun's, also aiming towards being a head nurse and focusing on management.

In terms of professional skills, Xu Man Ni really isn't as good as Tian Zhen.

"Mm."

Zhao Heng nodded, put on his gloves, and sat down.

"Dr. Zhong, this intrathecal analgesia device implantation puncture, to put it plainly, is actually a type of intrathecal puncture. But unlike a standard intrathecal puncture, because the silicone tubing from the intrathecal analgesia device is meant to stay in the intrathecal cavity long-term, the choice of puncture location must be very precise."

Zhao Heng picked up the puncture needle, operating as he began to impart his experiences to Zhong Jiaqiang.

Since he brought someone in to observe the surgery, Zhao Heng naturally didn't hold anything back.

"Mm, mm."

Hearing Zhao Heng's sharing of experience, Zhong Jiaqiang nodded repeatedly, realizing this kind of firsthand teaching is completely different than watching video materials.

If coming in alone to observe a surgery is VIP treatment,

then Zhao Heng's dedicated explanation is VIP among VIP treatments.

For a visiting doctor like Zhong Jiaqiang, such an opportunity is truly rare.

"The most important thing to pay attention to is any congenital anatomical variation in the patient, or anatomical structure changes due to tumor infiltration. Therefore, comprehensive preoperative examinations must be done. If conditions allow, it's essential to perform vertebral body 3D imaging."

Zhao Heng went on to explain the precautions for implanting the intrathecal analgesia device to Zhong Jiaqiang one by one.

He had taught these in class before, but how can classroom teaching compare with live instruction during surgery which leaves a deep impression?!

"Mm, mm."

Uncle Zhong Jiaqiang kept nodding, listening intently to every word Zhao Heng said.

Not far away, Li Haiyang stood by, slightly touched watching the eager and sincere Zhong Jiaqiang absorbing Zhao Heng's teaching.

Perhaps, he could involve this middle-aged balding uncle as a visiting doctor more often?

Li Haiyang couldn't help but think.

An hour later.

Zhao Heng once again perfectly completed the surgery.

Zhong Jiaqiang, on the other hand, seemed to have gained a lot.

For a doctor's progress, much is related to the teaching doctor.

Having Zhao Heng teaching with such attentiveness, Zhong Jiaqiang's skills would quickly surpass those of other visiting doctors by leaps and bounds!

This could be considered Zhong Jiaqiang's good fortune.

Leaving the operating room, Zhao Heng and Tian Zhen returned to the office.

Back in the Oncology Department, Li Haiyang glanced at Zhong Jiaqiang and suddenly asked, "Dr. Zhong, how did you meet Dr. Zhao?"

To be honest, Li Haiyang was a bit curious.

After the last lecture, no visiting doctor in the department didn't want to learn techniques from Zhao Heng.

From what Li Haiyang knew, several visiting doctors were eager, making connections or working hard on their own, all hoping to observe or even assist Zhao Heng in surgery.

But today, to Li Haiyang's surprise, it was this usually unremarkable middle-aged bald uncle visiting doctor who discreetly got the opportunity and took the lead.

"Just ran into him at lunch, and chatted a bit with Dr. Zhao."

Zhong Jiaqiang said.

"You really have some good luck..."

Li Haiyang couldn't help but glance again at Zhong Jiaqiang. This uncle, though seemingly unremarkable, was extremely earnest when learning from Zhao Heng in the operating room just now.

His thirst for knowledge slightly moved Li Haiyang.

Thinking about it, Li Haiyang said to Zhong Jiaqiang, "Dr. Zhong, from now on, you can follow me in the department. If Dr. Zhao has surgeries, go and observe."

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

Zhong Jiaqiang got excited hearing this from Li Haiyang.

All visiting doctors knew that Li Haiyang was brought up by Director Liu Shangming, so it's highly likely he could be the successor in the future.

Following Li Haiyang is something every visiting doctor dreams of.

However, Li Haiyang himself was too busy and didn't have time to mentor visiting doctors.

Zhong Jiaqiang was the only visiting doctor he took on.

On the way back to the office, Tian Zhen curiously asked Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, haven't you always been reluctant to mentor? Why today?"

Since Zhao Heng had emerged, proven by several extremely complex surgeries, his skills were widely acknowledged.

With such high skills, naturally, many wanted to learn from Zhao Heng.

But Zhao Heng himself was too busy, why take on more?

This time he mentored Zhong Jiaqiang, no wonder Tian Zhen was curious.

"You mean old Zhong?"

Zhao Heng replied.

"Yes, he doesn't seem special at all."

Tian Zhen commented.

In Tian Zhen's view, Zhong Jiaqiang was just an ordinary middle-aged balding uncle visiting doctor, not only ordinary but seemed somewhat shabby and run-down.

She couldn't understand why Zhao Heng would mentor Zhong Jiaqiang instead of others.

"What more is needed? A genuine thirst for knowledge surpasses many others."

Faced with Tian Zhen's curiosity, Zhao Xu smiled and said.

Skills can be developed, but mindset can't be taught.

To others, Zhong Jiaqiang might seem too ordinary with no apparent strengths.

But to Zhao Heng, this uncle's unaffected and sincere attitude was his biggest advantage.

"Mm, that's true."

Tian Zhen nodded.

Smart and hardworking people might not be many elsewhere, but at Eastern Hospital, being smart, hardworking, and enduring hardship is the basic requirement.

If one doesn't meet this basic requirement, they won't get in at all.

As for sincerity, that's a rare quality indeed.

"Dr. Zhao..."

After a pause, Tian Zhen hesitantly said.

"What's up, Sister Tian?"

Zhao Heng asked, seeing Tian Zhen hesitate.

"It's like this, I have a relative with late-stage liver cancer who heard about this intrathecal analgesia treatment and wanted to undergo it, but they haven't been able to get an appointment."

Tian Zhen said.

Tian Zhen was traditional and reserved, so she was a bit embarrassed to ask about going through the back door.

If it were any other surgical nurse, she wouldn't have felt embarrassed at all.

"Mm, bring them over later. We'll go to the Oncology Department and find Dr. Li together."

Zhao Heng nodded, readily agreeing without hesitation.

This is also part of human relationships. As medical staff, if you can't help those close to you receive timely treatment, what's the point?!

"Mm."

Tian Zhen nodded.
