Chapter 22 Section 22

It was almost one o'clock in the morning when Xi Ji finished all the work.However, this was not because of a sudden deterioration of the patient's condition or an emergency operation. She returned to the hospital with Xiyuan and had to deal with a lot of heavy routine work. This is because the chimney commotion made the patients panic, and some patients asked for transfer or temporary discharge.Usually the hospital does not accept such applications during this time period, but if it is rejected, the hospital will not be able to shirk its responsibility if an explosion does occur and someone is injured.Therefore, as a temporary contingency measure, the hospital decided to open the case 24 hours before the incident was resolved.

When dealing with transfers, arrangements must be made for a hospital that can take over.Even after being discharged from the hospital, since the patient has barely recovered, the future treatment plan must be discussed in detail.Whether it is transfer or discharge, starting from filling in the medical records, there are various processes that need to be dealt with. Just filling in the discharge summary, such as confirming the name of the diagnosed disease, complications, operation name, transcribing the hospitalization experience, etc., time flies by. When Xi Ji finished dealing with all these and returned to the office, Yuan Gong was drinking instant coffee with a tired face.He raised his eyes to see Xi Ji, and whispered to her, "Thank you."

"You've worked hard." Xi Ji also used her own mug to make coffee. "Is it done?" "It's over. Where is Doctor Yuangong?" "Yes, but the work of subpoenas is left to the nurses." He rubbed his shoulders and turned his neck. "It's terrible, I didn't expect it to become like this." "When they first received the threatening letters, the patients seemed to think it was a prank." "There is a bomb now." After finishing speaking, Yuan Gong changed his words again. "No, it's a chimney. However, if this kind of thing happens, everyone will be afraid. To be honest, I am too. I can't calm down."

Xi Ji silently poured hot water into the mug, but she also felt the same way. "I guessed wrong." "Wrong guess?" "I always thought it was a prank. Of course, there is still that possibility now, but at least the situation is different from when I only received threatening letters. I really underestimated the prisoner." Xi Ji sat down opposite Yuan Palace. "Even the police seem to think so." "I heard that the trash cans will be removed tomorrow, and surveillance cameras will be added. Also, the police will be stationed everywhere, and the atmosphere will become very strict. The police must also be very worried, because as soon as you find the threatening letter, the hospital I called the police, and if something really happened, the police would not be able to escape responsibility.”

Yuki thought of Nanao.From the beginning, he said that he didn't think it was a simple prank, so what does he think now? Xi Ji was drinking coffee and saw the bag on the sofa.That's something from West Garden. "Is the professor still there?" "I'm having a meeting with the police and the bureau. It seems that the policy that will be implemented tomorrow is still uncertain." "This means..." "To put it simply, it is to discuss what to do with the diagnosis and treatment business. The police will want the hospital to suspend its business. Of course, this will not work. There are still many hospitalized patients. The hospital must operate normally, and the patients who have made an appointment must have someone come to the door as usual tomorrow. But , it is difficult to decide how many places to accept.”

"Such as refusing to accept new patients?" "I think it's appropriate to do this, because we can't predict how prisoners will get in. We can't send people to check people's belongings like Tokyo Dome." So it was still possible to do this, Xi Ji felt a sense of crisis again.Thinking about it carefully, not only this time, when the threatening letter was received before, the prisoner must have approached the hospital disguised as a patient. Xi Ji thought to himself, if the usual practice is to open up without restriction, then from tomorrow onwards, even passing through the waiting room will inevitably look at patients suspiciously.

"You were supposed to have dinner with the professor tonight." The sudden sentence made Xi Ji look at the supervisor in surprise.He smiled slightly: "The professor has already told me about him and your mother. Don't worry, I won't tell others." "Did you know that before?" "From the time I knew you were coming here. It's a bit troublesome to pretend not to know, but I can understand what the professor said. He didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstanding." "Then why are you still..." "Your training is almost over. Before the end, there is still a major operation, Shimabara-san's operation. You should participate as an assistant. Before that, I have something to tell you."

"What words?" "In the future, if I want to work with you, even if you are the professor's daughter, my attitude towards you will not change. You are a fledgling doctor, not even half-baked. I will watch you where I should, I will not be stingy when it comes to praise.” "Of course, please do so." "Professor Xiyuan also said that he would treat you with the same attitude. As far as I can see, the professor's words are true. But the problem lies with you." Xi Ji raised his head, and Yuan Gong's serious gaze was in front of him. "My mother remarried. I don't have such experience, so it may be very irresponsible to say that. However, you are already an adult, shouldn't you give them some space?"

"what do you mean?" "I mean, you should make it clear that you are you and your mother is your mother." "I can tell the difference very clearly." "Really? Looking at you like this, I really don't think so. The way you look at the professor is still a bit unnatural and forced. You can't be an assistant like this." Xi Ji lowered her eyes and swallowed the cold coffee. "Do you object to their marriage?" "No, I have no objection..." Xi Ji shook his head. "Just a little...mind." "Is that so?" Yuan Gong carefully observed her expression.

"Do you think there is any other reason?" "That's good. I just think that if you have a lump in your heart, you want it removed before the operation. The teamwork in the operation is the most important thing." "I know. I'm sorry to make you worry." Xi Ji bowed his head and saluted. It is true that she has a lump in her heart, but the reason is beyond Yuan Gong's imagination.She cannot speak out at this time. Yuan Gong seemed to have something to say, kept looking at Xi Ji, but sighed, and put down the coffee cup. "Have you met the professor's son Dao Xiao?"

"Yes." Xi Ji nodded.She was surprised that Xiyuan even said such a thing. "The professor said he was a libertine. In fact, he has a pretty good mind and is very sensible. He should be able to get along well with you." "Have you seen him?" "Several times. He must be happy to have a sister." "He's an only son." "Yes, but he is not an ordinary only son. If you think he was spoiled, you are wrong. Because he has never had a mother, and he had an older brother." "Brother?" This is the first time I've heard of it. "How to say?" "He died in an accident a long time ago. He was young at the time, but I think he must have been hit pretty hard." Xi Ji looked at the bag on the sofa. "I haven't heard about it." "The professor probably doesn't want to mention it." "What kind of accident?" "Yes—" Yuan Gong was about to say, but shook his head. "Forget it, don't talk about this matter again. I don't know the exact process, and this matter should not be told by a third party. One day, the professor will tell you." Yuan Gong's words were very vague. When he stood up with an empty cup, the door opened, and it was Xiyuan who came in. "Why, you are still here." He looked at Xi Ji and Yuan Gong. "Because we have to deal with the patient's procedures..." Xi Ji explained. "It seems that there are suddenly more patients who want to be transferred or discharged. Thank you for your hard work." Xiyuan sat down on the sofa as if he fell down. "How will we decide tomorrow's business?" Yuan Gong asked. "It will be held as usual. Patients who come to ask for help cannot be driven back. However, the chimney riot has made the news. If there is no special reason, ordinary people should stay away from it." "The operation scheduled for tomorrow has not changed, has it?" "That's right." "Then, I want to go back early and take a rest. Professor, you have worked hard." "Oh, great work." Once Yuan Gong left, the atmosphere in the room became suffocating.Yuki went to the sink to wash the mugs. She heard Xiyuan let out a big sigh. "It's been a tiring day, and you're tired too." "I'm fine." "Usually the burden on the resident is very heavy. It is really hard for this kind of thing to happen again. Just now, other professors have also discussed that before the incident comes to an end, the resident can suspend his training." Xi Ji stopped what she was doing and turned around. "You mean..." "Until the incident is resolved, the resident is on standby at home. According to the current situation, it is difficult for the training mechanism to operate normally. If something happens that endangers the resident, how to compensate the resident is also a problem. To be more realistic, the resident is not officially in the hospital. in the compilation." "Is this mandatory?" "No, it's according to my own wishes." "In that case, then I..." Xi Ji faced Xiyuan, "I want to continue my training, please let me continue." Xiyuan looked at her with a surprised expression, then nodded slightly. "Okay. It's just that you have to sign the document of the secretariat, which is the consent form, just in case." "I see." "Then, I'm going back too." Xi Yuan stood up with his bag in his arms. "Shall I send you off?" "No, I still have something to do." "Really? Don't force yourself too much." Xi Yuan walked towards the door, stopped again, turned his head and said, "I apologize to you for Dao Xiao's rudeness, you must be very unhappy." "Won't……" "He didn't object to the marriage, he just cared about you from the beginning." "I?" "He was arguing to see you, and said he wanted to tell you face to face. I didn't expect him to embarrass you like that." "I don't care at all, please don't worry." "That's good." Xiyuan turned his back to leave, but this time Huanxiji called him to stop. "professor……" "What's up?" Xi Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva before speaking. "I heard that you have another son. Is it true?" For a moment, Xiyuan looked very embarrassed, but he immediately nodded with a calm expression. "Did Yuangong tell you? It's true. It's been twenty years, and died of an accident." "Does my mother know about this?" "Yes, I was going to tell you later." "Is it a car accident?" "Well, on the way to school, he was hit by a truck. He was only fourteen years old at that time." Xiyuan replied in an outsider's flat tone. "What's wrong?" "No..." What Yuan Gong said just now made her very concerned, that tone seemed to have a more complicated inside story. "It's my father's negligence. Knowing that there is a lot of traffic there, I let him go to school by bicycle. So I definitely don't allow Daoxiao to ride a bicycle." Xiyuan's eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, and then turned to Xiji. "You want to know the details?" "No. I..., sorry, reminded you of something sad." "Twenty years, it's been fine. But..." Xiyuan pointed at Xi Ji's chest with his index finger and continued, "I heard that Mr. Shimahara will not be hospitalized and will not be transferred. According to the schedule, the operation will be performed on Friday, please be prepared .” The look of a heart surgeon appeared on Xiyuan's face. Understood——Xi Ji replied in a formal tone of a resident doctor.
