The people at Beidou Third Hospital are quite concerned about Doctor Hu’s illness.

No matter who has personal opinions or prejudices against Doctor Hu, as doctors, they can’t stand to see someone fall ill.

In the morning, when Xie Wanying arrived at Beidou Third Hospital for her internship, she was asked by Teacher Zuoliang about Doctor Hu’s recent condition.

"I heard you’re quite familiar with Doctor Cao Yong. Can you help me and Teacher Du find out when Doctor Hu’s surgery is scheduled?"

Xie Wanying had inquired about this with Senior Brother Huang and replied, "They say they want to invite a specialist from Fangze Hospital for a consultation before making a decision."

Doctor Zuoliang recalled. If it truly was a neurological issue, with Doctor Hu’s connections, finding an expert from Fangze shouldn’t be difficult. But why did Doctor Hu continue to choose Cao Yong at Guoxie?

Doctor Hu previously had grievances against Cao Yong. During her hospitalization, her opinion of him changed somewhat.

Doctors assessing other doctors might not be as accurate as patients evaluating them. Cao Yong has a good reputation among patients, which isn’t unfounded. A doctor praised by everyone is at least adept in interpersonal relations and must have top-notch skills.

It had been said before that neurological patients have many sequelae. Cao Yong uses his skills to support these patients, which isn’t something an average doctor can achieve. Most importantly, Cao Yong truly dares to perform surgeries others wouldn’t risk.

This time, Cao Yong saying he would invite experts from Fangze to come over was unexpected for her.

The history of Guoxie’s neurosurgery is long-standing, and while it may not have the renown of specialized hospitals, its foundation is solid. It’s akin to Guoxie’s cardiothoracic department never conceding it’s inferior to Guo Zhi Hospital.

Why would Cao Yong go to Fangze? Is there something Cao Yong can’t resolve?

Dr. Guan from Beidu hinted to Chang Jiawei and the others, "I didn’t expect President Xiao to be very concerned about Doctor Hu’s illness; he even called the president of Fangze, asking them to send an expert to Guoxie for a look."

So that’s how it is. It wasn’t Cao Yong requesting, but someone specifically wanted a third-party expert to evaluate, similar to when Zhang Huayao didn’t quite trust Guoxie’s technology. Colleagues evaluate doctors based solely on their technical reputation, disregarding other aspects. Though young, Cao Yong has minor fame in the circle, it’s not as resonant as that of senior experts. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

For President Xiao to personally call Fangze, the expert they send must be remarkable.

Chang Jiawei felt a bit conflicted after hearing the news. On one hand, he was pleased to see Cao Yong encounter setbacks, but on the other, he’s now also with Guoxie, and dislikes hearing anyone speak condescendingly about Guoxie.

"What kind of surgery is Dr. Cao planning for Doctor Hu?" Dr. Guan was curious about how Cao Yong, a neurosurgeon, intended to treat an ophthalmic disease patient.

Chang Jiawei played with his phone and looked over at Fu Xinheng at his desk.

Receiving his gaze, Fu Xinheng answered, "How could I possibly know."

He specialized in cardiothoracic surgery, not neurosurgery. If there were any guesses to be made, it should be more closely related to the scope of spinal surgery business.

In fact, that day when he first heard about Doctor Hu’s illness, Chang Jiawei had considered whether it was related to the carotid artery. Then he thought, if it were a carotid artery issue, the ophthalmology department wouldn’t have missed it. If it’s not a carotid artery issue and involves cerebral internal blood vessels, neither ophthalmology nor their spinal surgery would be involved.

"I guess Cao Yong spotted something, perhaps an anomaly within the patient’s brain," Chang Jiawei said.

Fu Xinheng looked up at him, his gaze deep.

Subconsciously, Chang Jiawei had long viewed Cao Yong as a rival and might have been the person who understood Cao Yong the most.

The saying ’know your enemy best’ is generally true.
