"An allotransplantation?"

Qin Ying shook her head at Yu Suye's spontaneous suggestion.

"The patient specifically stated that he will not consider an allotransplantation."

"He said that for such a... special area, he couldn't emotionally accept a transplant from a donor."

Yu Suye pursed her lips. "Given his condition, he's still being picky."

"For that part of a man's body, only an allotransplantation can restore male function."

"All the various prosthetics used in female-to-male transitions in the world today are just for show. They're for looking at, not for using."

Qin Ying smiled and said, "If his request were simple to fulfill, it wouldn't have been delayed until now."

"Let me give you all a little more motivation..."

Qin Ying said enticingly, "The patient is quite a successful man now, with a net worth in the tens of millions."

"If you can come up with a genuinely feasible solution..."

She raised her hand and waved it, chuckling. "He is willing to generously offer a five-million reward."

After a brief pause, Qin Ying clapped her hands. "Let's set this aside for now. You can think about a solution in your own time."

"Today, I'm going to teach you a few key points you need to pay special attention to during a phalloplasty..."

After finishing his morning studies, Yan Feifan had lunch and hurried over to the Trauma Surgery Department.

This afternoon was his instruction time with Dr. Chen Yu.

When Yan Feifan arrived at the office, he saw Dr. Chen doing yoga again.

"Have you checked on the patients in the wards?"

Yan Feifan answered honestly, "Yes, I did a round in the wards before coming over."

The patient whose hand tendon repair surgery he performed last week was discharged yesterday. It will be at least two or three months before the cast can be removed.

Yan Feifan had mainly gone to check on the patient with the total hand bone replacement and the recovery of Zhou Jiaojiao's reattached left hand.

As for We Qing, whose kidney he had removed, he had long since been transferred to the General Surgery inpatient building to recover under their care.

"You're quite responsible."

Chen Yu finished her pose and rolled up her yoga mat.

"Zhou Jiaojiao's left hand is recovering remarkably well. In my opinion, you can be considered to have graduated when it comes to limb replantation surgery."

"How far you'll go in this field, and whether you can surpass Dr. Qin Ying and me, will depend on your dedication and effort."

Yan Feifan said with a serious expression, "Director, I will work hard and not let you down."

Chen Yu put the yoga mat in a closet and chuckled lightly. "I believe you can do it."

"Now, about this afternoon's schedule..."

"I've taken on six more patients with old hand tendon injuries."

"This time, you and I will each be responsible for three..."

Just then, someone pushed the door open and strode in.

The visitor was an unfamiliar male doctor in a white coat. He looked to be in his mid-thirties and had an anxious expression. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Director Chen, I'm Cui Bo, a supervising lab technician from the Pathology Department. My sister-in-law's child was playing at an amusement park and severely crushed his right hand. He's on his way to the hospital now."

"Please, Director Chen, make the necessary arrangements quickly."

Chen Yu said in a serious tone, "Dr. Cui, don't worry. The Trauma Surgery Department receives emergency patients every day."

"We have extensive experience in handling such emergencies. There's no need for me to make special arrangements."

Cui Bo said bluntly, "Director Chen, perhaps I wasn't clear. What I mean is, I'm asking you to personally handle the child's treatment."

Chen Yu said, "Oh," and explained, "Dr. Cui, the deputy director, Dr. Niu JieWei, is on duty today."

"Dr. Niu is also an attending physician in our Trauma Surgery Department. He's highly skilled, no less capable than I am."

"Dr. Cui, you can place your full trust in him."

Cui Bo said anxiously, "But I heard that you, Director Chen, are the best surgeon in the Trauma Surgery Department."

Chen Yu's face hardened. "I'm the department director, which is why people say that. It doesn't mean my skills are the best in every area."

"Dr. Cui, you also have formal medical training. You must understand that every department's field can be subdivided into many branches. I only happen to specialize in a few of them."

"Dr. Niu, as an attending physician, also has his own subspecialties where he is the best in our department."

Cui Bo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Director Chen, I promised my sister-in-law that I would get the very best doctor to treat her child."

"Director Chen, all I know is that you're the best doctor in Trauma Surgery. Please, you have to help."

Chen Yu's expression darkened.

She said curtly, "Dr. Cui, do you think coming to a hospital for treatment is like ordering from a menu, where you can just pick and choose your doctor?"

"I've already told you, Dr. Niu is on duty today, not me. I have several scheduled surgeries this afternoon."

Chen Yu extended a hand, gesturing for him to leave.

"Dr. Cui, please leave. Don't disturb my work."

Seeing that Cui Bo was about to speak again, Yan Feifan quickly stepped forward and urged, "Dr. Cui, it's already come to this. You should just leave!"

Cui Bo looked at Chen Yu's stern face, then at Yan Feifan, huffed angrily, and turned to leave the office.

Yan Feifan closed the office door, turned around, and asked, "Director, aren't you worried he'll try to cause trouble for us with lab tests in the future?"

Chen Yu snorted. "What can he do? At most, he'll delay the test results until the very last minute."

"If he dares to do anything out of line, believe me, I'll make sure he faces serious consequences. Getting fired would be the least of it."

At this, Chen Yu warned, "Feifan, as your reputation grows, you'll definitely encounter many people asking for favors."

"You can't be too soft-hearted and grant every request."

"Otherwise, you'll find that you could work yourself to death and still not be able to satisfy everyone."

Chen Yu advised, "Feifan, you have to be a bit more ruthless, a bit more impersonal."

"As a doctor, if you're too kind, what awaits you is an endless sea of trouble."

"That is a lesson many have learned through blood and tears."

Yan Feifan nodded and said, "Director, regarding asking for favors, I've received advice from my seniors on this more than once."

"I'll be careful."

Chen Yu shook her head, a little disbelieving. "Feifan, in my opinion, you're still a bit too soft-hearted."

"If I were you, I wouldn't have asked Dr. Qin Ying to be your teacher back then. I would have just let her fend for herself."

"With your learning ability, it doesn't matter who your teacher is!"

Yan Feifan smiled lightly and said, "Director, but I heard that back then, you risked your life, ran several red lights, and rushed to City First Hospital as fast as you could?"

Chen Yu scoffed. "I was in a hurry to treat her, but you could never guess what I was thinking."

Before Yan Feifan could ask, she continued with a self-satisfied smile, "Feifan, every time she thinks about that incident, she'll remember that her fingers were reattached by me."

"Tell me, how do you think that makes her feel?"

Yan Feifan didn't want to argue the point with Dr. Chen Yu, who had a soft heart despite all her tough talk.

He glanced at the time and reminded her, "Director, it's almost one o'clock. You should get ready..."
