Surgery Godfather

Chapter 290: Chapter 0274: Perfect Daughter-in-law

Old Yang and his wife were visiting their son’s hospital for the first time. They had only seen pictures of it before, but now they were seeing it in person.

Looking at the wall of experts in the outpatient hall, everyone was a deputy chief physician or above, the majority with Masters and Doctorates. Such a line-up truly gave an impression of luxury.

Old Yang tried to count them all but there were too many, so he simply gave up: “So many experts? So many doctors, Pingping, you should get a doctorate too when you have the chance.”

“Yang Ping is about to take the doctoral exam under our director, he has already signed up.” Xiao Su proved to be a qualified explainer.

“Where’s Pingping, where’s Pingping?” Mom was looking everywhere for him.

Xiao Su held her mother-in-law’s hand: “Auntie, these doctors you see here are usually attending to outpatients. Yang Ping does not need to do that anymore. If you want to see Yang Ping, you can go to our department.”

Mom wanted to go have a look, but Dad waved his hand: “No need, just have a look here. Going to their workplace would only cause trouble. Everyone is busy and it’s impolite if they don’t pay attention to you; but if they do, it wastes their time.”

Mom wisely shut her mouth, offering no further mention of this: “We’ll just walk around downstairs, we won’t go to the wards.”

Yang Ping and Xiao Su accompanied the two elderly people, touring every nook and cranny of the hospital. Whenever they met a colleague, no matter what department they were in, the younger ones would respectfully greet with a “Teacher Yang!”.

The older ones would also seriously greet them, calling him “Xiao Yang” or “Doctor Yang,” even the security guards would respectfully greet him as Doctor Yang and then enthusiastically show them the way.

The old couple felt proud; in such a big hospital, there were thousands of employees at least, and to be recognized by that many people was quite an achievement. Their son was well-respected in the hospital, that was obvious from the way people greeted him.

After touring the hospital and its surroundings, the old couple felt no fatigue, as though they had been infused with a stimulant.

For dinner, they went out to eat. Xiao Su had already booked a private room in a nearby restaurant, “Seaside Folks,” a famous seafood restaurant, so the old folks could have a taste of southern seafood.

Xiao Su really was attentive and considerate, she had arranged everything to be comfortable and appropriate. From the moment they got off the train, the elderly couple felt neither bored nor tired. There was rest, activities, and the pacing was just right.

Yang Ping gave her a surreptitious thumbs-up behind the old folks’ backs. She pretended not to see and continued holding mom’s hand, chatting with her, and from time to time, making her burst out laughing.

They drove to the seafood restaurant in Yang Ping’s Volvo XC90. Dad didn’t know much about cars, but he could sense that this one was expensive.

Mom was surprised: “This car must have cost hundreds of thousands, right?”

“Humph! Hundreds of thousands, bring me a dozen more if you can!” Dad grunted.

The son could actually afford such a nice car, it seems like his work was paying quite well, and it wasn’t just to comfort them, but they really had the ability to buy their own house. The elderly couple were truly happy from the bottom of their hearts, they were proud of their little brat, who had been spanked a lot in his childhood.

Seaside Folks, this seafood restaurant, the owner used to be a seafood dealer. This restaurant was one of his clients, but when the former owner of the restaurant was not managing well and was on the verge of bankruptcy, he took over the restaurant and made it a hit.

Xiao Su taught Yang’s mom how to eat seafood, explained how each dish was made and the characteristics of southern cuisine. She described everything so well, as though she had taken a course at New Oriental.

Dad was more familiar with seafood, he had tasted it when he was a soldier. He had been in the navy and during his time off, he would stroll around nearby, of course, he would also visit the fishing village.

Returning from the seafood meal, Mom and Dad didn’t feel tired at all, they were genuinely happy with their day.

Yang Ping wanted to go to the hospital to check on a pregnant woman who had surgery during the day, so he asked Xiao Su to accompany his parents.

Dad affirmed Yang Ping’s sense of responsibility: “Go ahead, we’ll watch TV. People often say that we should treat patients like they’re our own, referring to this sense of responsibility.”

Who would have thought that Miss Su from the Su family would be so down-to-earth. She was an excellent hostess, and she handled Yang Ping’s parents masterfully. Yang Ping couldn’t help but chuckle when he thought about it, especially how Mom and Xiao Su hung together as though they had known each other for years.

It seems that for this future daughter-in-law, Mom and Dad had given very high scores, probably full marks.

The Children’s Surgical Department was decorated very warmly, it looked like a place out of a fairy tale with various cartoon characters. If you looked up, you’d see Spider-Man looking at you on the ceiling.

Even the means of transport for children going to the operating room was not a Pingche, but electric toy cars. They could let the child drive into the operating room by themselves.

It’s said that a child, after his surgery, who had been discharged from the hospital, told his father that he wanted to have another surgery. The confused father asked why, and it turned out that the child wanted to have another ride in the little car of the Pediatric Surgery Department.

The pediatrician on duty led the way. With his baby face and the name “kid,” it seemed like he was born to work in pediatrics.

He took Yang Ping to visit the pregnant woman He Liru, whose husband was feeding her chicken soup by the bed. Although touching her belly, He was not an obstetrician or gynecologist. However, Yang Ping had trained in physical examination of pregnant women.

He listened to the fetal heart and found it normal. He checked the pregnant woman’s monitoring data at the head of the bed and found the fetal movement also normal. The little guy was quite interesting, he knew instinctively to survive, replacing cries for help with restless movements.

Coming out of Pediatric Surgery, there was a man waiting with a young boy in the doctor’s office for the pediatrician. The pediatrician told them he would look at the latest test data on his computer once they had taken their seats.

The man sat down, but the boy didn’t. Watching him walk, he must have just had a circumcision. He was walking with his legs spread like a frog, his pants bulging, which almost made Yang Ping laugh.

It was clear that there was a disposable cup in his pants, covering the littler bird that just had the surgery, for fear that the wound would be hurt by the pants.

The director of urological surgery, nicknamed “Forever Below the Waist” in WeChat, coined a term for this situation – “bird doesn’t fly”. The bird couldn’t fly because it was covered by a cup.

“It’s my cousin’s kid, he just had a circumcision and came here for a dressing change,” the pediatrician explained to Yang Ping.

Yang Ping looked at the computer, “You go ahead with your work. I’ll read it myself.”

Coming out of Pediatric Surgery, Yang Ping went to check on his department. Graduate student Xiao Li was on duty. Xiao Li was Director Gao’s graduate student and had finished his rotation in the surgical system. Now he was going to circulate through the Orthopedics Department.

Xiao Li was reading in the office. When he saw Yang Ping come in, he stood up immediately, “Teacher Yang!”

“Sit down! It’s hard work being on duty. You can read in the duty room, it’s a bit cooler now.” Yang Ping said with concern.

Dr. Li closed the book, “No problem, there are many patients who can’t sleep, and they feel better if someone is in the office.”

“You guys take a look at which books are missing from the department’s bookshelf and write them down. Dr. Zhang will arrange to buy them. And if you have any suggestions for the training, you can put them forward.”

After chatting with Xiao Li for a while, he took Xiao Li on rounds. They visited a number of patients and Xiao Li did well. He listened carefully to Yang Ping’s words. Yang Ping would ask him a question or two after each patient’s visit.

He was clear in his thinking and had a good grasp on the patient’s condition in the department. He kept a notebook in his pocket to record things at all times. He also kept a special notebook to note down Sisi’s disease management.

When he got home, Xiao Su was still chatting with his parents. His parents had already taken a shower and changed into nightgowns, all prepared by Xiao Su.

“Oh, you’re back. How’s the patient after surgery?” Xiao Su asked with concern.

Yang Ping took off his shoes, “He’s fine, I just checked on him. The department is also doing well.”

“Let your Uncle and Aunt rest early and we can go out together tomorrow,” Xiao Su had already sorted out their beds.

“We are saying, kids, you two should go to work and not worry about us. Don’t let us delay your work.” The dad was always worried about troubling the children.

The mom chimed in, “Tomorrow, we will go shopping and cook. You two should come back for lunch, the food in the hospital cafeteria lacks flavor.”

Xiao Su told the two elders to rest assured, “We have taken a week off to accompany you, don’t worry. All of Yang Ping’s work has been arranged.”

“Such a long break? No, no, it seriously affects the work.” The dad shook his head.

Yang Ping tried to reassure him, “It’s okay. As you always said, those who know how to rest are the ones who can work. I just want to take a break, it won’t delay work.”

It was late, and the parents retired to their room to rest.

As for Xiao Su, should she go back to the dormitory tonight?
