Chapter 1135: [1135] Proposed surgical team members

Tao Zhijie and others had mixed feelings, but the only firm belief was not to assume that these two newcomers would be spared from criticism after seemingly turning the tables today. The scolding they received that day was necessary and appropriate.

Even if the dual chief surgeon model could work, with such a shortage of clinical staff, it’s impossible to allow two top-notch surgeons to operate together. Such outstanding young surgeons are bound to lead their own teams sooner or later.

As the department director wanted to watch, He Guangyou quickly fetched the surgical video and played it in the conference room.

Doctors who had not seen this surgery took an interest in the operation footage on the video.

The more they watched, the brighter the gleam in all the doctors’ eyes: Could the chief surgeon and first assistant really work together like this? It’s too clever, too flexible. They had no fixed mindset. The two did as they pleased, and whatever they did seemed to seamlessly integrate as one.

Fang Xueqing’s hands unknowingly covered her heart, thinking: My goodness, I didn’t expect that Guoxie had really attracted a “traitor” from Beidu. No wonder Song Xueling had been so adamant about his decision to join Guoxie being correct.

Zhu Huicang sneaked a peek at his old classmate Cao Yong’s expression. Could it be that he was already a little jealous of that Doctor Song?

Cao Yong’s face was solemn and serious. In academic matters, he would not mix personal feelings. Jealous? Yes, very jealous. So he must pull her into neurosurgery.

The most composed individuals present had to be Xie Wanying’s two mentoring teachers. Tao Zhijie and Tan Kelin were not surprised because they knew she was capable. Tao Zhijie was also clear about Song Xueling’s abilities, so it was no surprise that these two geniuses worked together like fish in water. Geniuses think alike, after all.

“I think it’s feasible, just do it as she suggests,” Director Tang decisively approved.

Wasn’t the external opinion questioning Guoxie’s capability? Look, here is the capability.

“Director Tang,” doctors from the Hepatobiliary Surgery reminded him cautiously.

The main issue now was who would pair up for the double chief surgeon operation. Who would Tao Zhijie find as his partner? Director Tang? But Tang himself wasn’t very good at laparoscopic surgery. It wouldn’t work if Tao Zhijie chose a doctor from his own team either, as despite long-term coordination and good communication within his team, they lagged far behind him in technical capability.

Other associate senior doctors from the Hepatobiliary Surgery could pair with Tao Zhijie, but they would still need time to get in sync. Good cooperation between doctors is best developed over time. This is not an emergency surgery; adequate preparation is essential, and a hastily assembled surgical team is unacceptable.

“What about pairing Doctor Song with you?” Director Tang asked, patting Tao Zhijie on the shoulder.

Song Xueling was capable and it seemed possible.

But unexpectedly, Song Xueling himself spoke out, “It’s not quite suitable.”

Director Tang looked at him in surprise: “How is it not suitable?” Did this newcomer dare to disdain an associate senior?

“Doctor Song means that, like Teacher Tao, he is somewhat of a slow-tempo person, which may not be quite fitting,” Xie Wanying explained.

Song Xueling nodded at her words: Indeed, Dr. Xie understands me best.

“Isn’t it good if both are slow-tempo?” Zhu Huicang, representing a large group of doctors, expressed extreme surprise at her explanation.

If both are slow-tempo, it should mean their personalities would mesh well.
