Chapter 453: Chapter 452: Emergency Surgery

Dr. Kevin Vega came to China alone this time, without his surgical team.

Therefore, for the brain tumor removal surgery he was leading on Ms. Caroline, he needed the assistance of Chinese medical staff.

Dr. Qiu Ge generously offered her own team.

Not only that, she also personally served as an assistant, helping Yan Feifan with the live biopsy of the brain tumor tissue and Dr. Kevin with the tumor removal surgery.

In fact, if time had permitted, Yan Feifan would have liked to guest-star as the surgical assistant himself.

After all, Dr. Kevin Vega was ranked as one of the top ten neurosurgeons in the United States; his reputation was certainly well-deserved.

This was a great opportunity to observe and learn from up close.

Unfortunately, Yan Feifan had to perform a full-face plastic surgery on a female trainee from Korea that afternoon.

He had no choice but to give this observation opportunity to Dr. Qiu.

On Thursday morning, just after ten o’clock, Yan Feifan finished the puncture injection procedure for Carolyn’s brain tumor and left the operating room.

He had just walked out of the Little Red House when he received a call from Liu Jin.

"Feifan, the PLA General Hospital has given their feedback. They completely agree to the terms you and Mr. Wen settled on."

Liu Jin added over the phone, "They’re hoping you can treat their first brain tumor patient as early as next Thursday."

Yan Feifan let out a soft "oh" and said, "Teacher, have them send the case files to my email next Monday. I’ll take a look at them before deciding."

"I’ll pass that on to them."

Liu Jin replied, then chuckled. "To think that I, the director of a special-grade hospital, am running errands for you."

"Feifan, your workload is only going to increase. You should hire an assistant to handle some of the miscellaneous tasks for you."

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but ask, "Won’t the hospital assign one to me?"

Liu Jin chuckled. "You wish."

"Other chief physicians have their students double as their assistants."

"You aren’t qualified to take on students yet."

"However, with your current achievements and fame, there should be young doctors willing to volunteer as your assistant, or even just accept you as their teacher."

"Feifan, you could try putting out a message."

Yan Feifan refused outright. "I’m still in a phase of learning and accumulating experience. I’m not going to be anyone’s teacher."

"Besides, they’re all older than me."

Liu Jin laughed over the phone again. "Then just pay out of your own pocket and hire an assistant privately."

"Hmm..."

After a moment of thought, Liu Jin’s voice came through again. "I can offer you a special arrangement. Once you sort out your professional title and get promoted to chief physician, you can transfer your assistant’s employment to the hospital."

Yan Feifan said happily, "Teacher, thank you in advance. With this arrangement, there will definitely be a lot of applicants."

"It’s great to have connections in high places."

Liu Jin laughed heartily as well. "It’s mainly because you’re so skilled, kid. It makes even me have to suck up to you a little."

After a pause, Liu Jin’s voice continued from the phone.

"We officially signed the cooperation agreement with Dr. Kevin Vega yesterday. That matter of sending someone to Johns Hopkins Hospital for advanced training needs to be formally initiated."

"While our two sides are in the honeymoon phase, we should try to send someone over within a month or two."

"Feifan, do you have anyone you’d like to recommend?"

Yan Feifan knew Mr. Liu was asking this to give him a spot to curry favor or build connections.

The problem was, he had always been proudly independent and not very sociable, so he didn’t have many friends among his classmates or colleagues.

"Teacher, I don’t have a recommendation for the training position. You all can just choose someone. Try to send a person of good character and scholarship..."

After finishing the call with Mr. Liu, Yan Feifan was almost at the Plastic Surgery Center.

Today, Yu Suye and Lin Qian had surgeries.

They were performing a corrective surgery for a congenital deformity of the left leg on one child from the welfare home, and a facial bite-mark scar revision surgery on another.

In the family waiting area outside the operating rooms, Yan Feifan saw Mrs. Gu and called her over to a quiet corner.

"Mrs. Gu, starting next week, the Marine Police General Hospital will begin accepting handicapped and deformed children from the welfare home at a rate of two surgeries per week, until the Extraordinary Fund can no longer provide financial support."

Mrs. Gu was delighted, but then asked worriedly, "Mr. Yan, what about here at the Affiliated Hospital?"

Yan Feifan explained, "Mrs. Gu, don’t worry. The surgeries by Dr. Yu, Dr. Lin, and Dr. Qi will continue."

"It’s mainly me. I will no longer be performing surgeries for the handicapped and deformed children from the welfare home on a fixed schedule."

"In the future, I will choose to perform suitable surgeries at appropriate times."

Mrs. Gu said with a look of gratitude, "Mr. Yan, thank you for everything you’ve done for those poor children."

"It’s safe to say that without you, they wouldn’t have a new lease on life..."

Yan Feifan said modestly, "Mrs. Gu, what I’ve done is quite limited. It’s mainly thanks to the help from all sides."

"I also sincerely hope that we can continue to receive strong support from everyone, so this charity project can go on for a long time."

Yan Feifan then instructed, "Mrs. Gu, regarding matters of the Extraordinary Fund, please communicate with He Junxing from now on..."

Watching Yan Feifan walk through the isolation doors of the surgical area, Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but sigh.

She knew clearly that Yan Feifan’s skill in plastic surgery was more than an order of magnitude higher than other doctors’.

The handicapped and deformed children he operated on not only recovered faster from their incisions, but after a full recovery, the original injuries or deformities were almost undetectable, and they even looked better than before.

The reconstructive surgeries performed by others could only be described as restoring basic function and making their appearance passable.

The signs of surgical repair, however, were obvious at a glance.

Naturally, Mrs. Gu hoped in her heart that all the surgeries could be performed by a master of plastic surgery like Yan Feifan.

But she also understood that her side had no room to bargain.

A top-tier doctor like Yan Feifan would choose surgeries with greater returns.

The fact that the Plastic Surgery Center was willing to let its young doctors perform reconstructive surgery on the handicapped and deformed children was already a blessing for the welfare home.

"I can’t be too greedy."

Mrs. Gu sighed to herself, then quickly took out her phone to contact the welfare home’s leadership and report what Yan Feifan had just told her...

The female trainee’s surgery began at 1:30 in the afternoon.

Yan Feifan was the lead surgeon for this operation, with Wang Chuan as the surgical assistant and Luo Zhen as the anesthesiologist.

The scrub nurse and circulating nurse were, as usual, Meng Yao and Ye Lin.

This surgical team could be called the strongest possible lineup from the Plastic Surgery Center at present.

The other party’s five hundred million won was not being spent for nothing...

Shortly before three in the afternoon, the young nurse Xv Shuang enthusiastically saw a discharged patient out of the Plastic Surgery Center building, waving goodbye.

Just then, she saw a G-Wagon SUV rushing straight toward her at high speed.

Xv Shuang was still wondering how a vehicle dared to tear through the hospital grounds like that when, in the blink of an eye, the car was right in front of her.

She was instantly scared stiff.

Xv Shuang forgot to run, forgot to dodge. She squeezed her eyes shut, covered her head with her hands, and started screaming, "AHHHH!"

"SCREECH..."

The sound of the vehicle braking sharply rang in her ears. Xv Shuang felt a gust of wind wash over her, carrying the acrid smell of rubber burning from the tires’ violent friction with the ground.

She cracked her eyes open a sliver and gasped.

The aggressive-looking front of the car was only a fist’s width away from her.

A wave of belated fear washed over her entire body. Xv Shuang’s heart was pounding violently.

Just then, the sound of a car door opening caught her attention.

She saw Jio Xin jump out of the driver’s seat and go to the rear door.

Xv Shuang followed and saw a man lying on the back seat, his head and face completely wrapped in gauze.

"Xin, who is he?"

As Jio Xin and another man who got out of the car worked together to move the gauze-wrapped man, she asked urgently, "Where’s Mr. Yan?"

"Where’s the Director?"

"They’re all in surgery," Xv Shuang replied.

Hearing this, Jio Xin saw Xv Shuang just standing there stupidly and immediately flared up, yelling, "Are you brain-dead?"

"Hurry up and get a gurney or a wheelchair!"

"And hurry, have someone notify the Director and Mr. Yan! Tell them Dr. Tang is seriously injured and needs emergency surgery..."
