Stomach cancer …

Old Xu looked at the report and said nothing for a long time.
The captain and Qin Min stood next to each other. At that moment, their carefully rehearsed statements were caught in their throats.
Only the police dog Chestnut whimpered as it went near Old Xu. It rubbed his leg with its head.
Old Xu looked a little happy as he touched Chestnut’s head, and he said,
You’re such a superficial dog. How long haven’t you rubbed against my leg? And you’re finally coming to me today?



Chestnut did not appear to understand as it looked at Old Xu. After rubbing against him for a bit, it left.
Old Xu felt melancholy as he looked at Chestnut’s thin waist, and he said,
This superficial dog is actually pretty good-looking, but it’s not friendly enough. That’s why it has become our police team’s dog. If it’s sold at a pet shop, buyers might eliminate him from their choice.

The squadron officer looked at Old Xu and said,
Are you trying to express your feelings through the dog? What’s with that? Are you afraid we don’t want you anymore?


I’ve sweated and bled before. I’ve suffered before, yet have never enjoyed my life. Why would I be afraid about getting thrown out? If you guys don’t want me, I can always find someplace I’m wanted,
Old Xu said a little loudly. He seemed proud, but his eyes were seemingly afraid.
Qin Min sighed secretly and whispered,
you can treat this as a work injury. After you’re healed from your injury, you can go back to work.


Why should I continue working? I could just keep a dog.
Lao Xu pouted and said,
Dogs nowadays only look at faces. Rather than feeding them, it’s better to just have a good-looking face.

Zhang Anmin, who was listening, thought to himself. ‘The problem is that you don’t have a good face.’
Of course, this statement cannot be said to cancer patients. It was too cruel, so Zhang Anmin kept those words to himself, and at the same time, distracted himself from the uneasiness.
As a doctor, there was nothing Zhang Anmin could do about the patient’s illness, and this left him rather helpless. To add on to the misery, this patient was actually the descendant of someone who died for the country. It almost sent Zhang Anmin reeling.
Aside from studying for more than ten years, Zhang Anmin had also been a doctor for more than ten years. It could be said that Zhang Anmin had spent most of his life studying. After studying for so many years and struggling for so long on the nights where he recalled his past, Zhang Anmin always came back to the same happy moment—when his potential took to the stage.


If he had six dreams in a night, three of them were about standing in the operating theater, or outside the operating theater, or in the ward. After curing the patient in any of these three places, he would smugly and righteously reject the red envelopes.
Of the remaining three, only two were scenarios in which he earned enough money and fled poverty, and one would be a scenario that resolved hair loss problems or him falling into the fear of hair loss…
Unfortunately, stomach surgery had never been in Zhang Anmin’s strike zone.
Zhang Anmin shook his head secretly and said to Old Xu,
Mister Xu, don’t dwell on it. Our General Surgery Department in Yun Hua Hospital is first-class in the country. Our skill level and accumulated experience are very great. Associate Department Director Ouyang is a doctor who specializes in studying stomach surgery. Later, we will ask him to give you a detailed consultation. At present, cancer is no longer a terminal illness, and many patients can survive even with cancer.


You mean it can be cured?
Old Xu looked up and asked.

There are many people who can be cured.
Zuo Cidian moved Zhang Anmin away so that he can take over the conversation, and he calmly said,
The malignancy of stomach cancer is usually relatively low, and the difficulty of the operation is not very large, as long as it has not developed to the stage where it’s too late. Just like what Doctor Zhang said just now, Associate Department Director Ouyang of the General Surgery Department is very good…


Can you ask Doctor Ling to perform the surgery on me?
Old Xu suddenly interrupted Zuo Cidian’s words.

Doctor Ling is not a doctor in the field of general surgery. He does not perform stomach cancer surgery.
Zuo Cidian paused and instead questioned him,
Why do you want Doctor Ling to perform stomach cancer surgery for you?


Isn’t it said that Doctor Ling’s surgeries are done well? And the prognosis is consistently good. The daily amount of exercise of the Police Dog Squad is still quite extensive, and what I’m thinking is that we must have a good body to be able to get through it. I can’t just kick the bucket after receiving one operation,
Old Xu said with a smile.
Kicking the bucket has always been my second choice. But it’s better that I only kick the bucket when I’m older. I’ll be able to tolerate loneliness better by then.

Zuo Cidian nodded subconsciously. If it were a surgery that Ling Ran was good at, he would have no qualms suggesting Old Xu to be operated by Ling Ran. However, stomach cancer surgery was really not Ling Ran’s forte. At least, he had not seen Ling Ran perform a stomach surgery before.


In comparison, Associate Department Director Ouyang of the General Surgery Department might just be an associate chief physician, but he had more than ten years of experience as a surgeon. The rarest thing about him was that he had performed stomach surgery all year round. He had accumulated experience of thousands of cases of stomach cancer surgery alone. This was his capital as to why he was able to settle down in Yun Hua Hospital, and even if he was placed at a province which had a stronger General Surgery Department, he would still be able to remain as a unique and powerful existence.
A smile appeared on Old Xu’s face.
Can Doctor Ling perform the surgery on me…?


That’s not what I mean.
Zuo Cidian wanted badly to slap himself and said quickly,
I mean, originally, looking for Doctor Ling is a correct choice, and it shows that you still have a clear head. But the classification of this disease is very wide. There are many types of stomach cancer surgery. Doctor Ling has never performed stomach cancer surgery before, and hence, he cannot do it for you.


If that’s the case …
Old Xu smiled and did not force the issue anymore.
The captain and Qin Min also comforted him in whispers.
Old Xu’s condition was not bad. After his initial discomfort, his voice became louder.
Not long after, Associate Department Director Ouyang of the General Surgery Department brought a resident doctor to the ward in the Emergency Medical Center.
Zuo Cidian hurried to drag Ling Ran, who was performing a ward round, over.
Several people gathered around Old Xu to perform another physical examination on him, and he read the examination report again. Of course, this time, the report was much more comprehensive, and the results of the spiral CT scan definitely confirmed the existence of stomach cancer.

Let’s have the surgery as soon as possible. The location is okay, but we’ll have to think further about how we’re going to perform the surgery…
Director Ouyang was about fifty years old, his hair was half white, and he looked like he was about to retire. If it were not for him being in the General Surgery Department and he was in a less competitive department, he would have become a chief physician much earlier than he did.


Associate Department Director Ouyang had seen similar CT scans like the one in front of him countless times, so he made his decision very quickly.
Old Xu just nodded. If he were forced to speak about the four symptoms when a dog was sick, he could talk about it with clarity and great fluency, but he could not diagnose his own condition.
Qin Min looked helpless and thought for a while. She quietly moved to Ling Ran, and said quietly,
Doctor Ling, if you can, can you perform the operation for Old Xu?

Ling Ran looked at Qin Min.
Qin Min boldly looked at Ling Ran and said,
I have been to the ward, and the patients and family members say that your surgery is effective. I know you don’t like to perform cancer surgeries, but if you can do it …

Ling Ran remained silent.
Qin Min seemingly mumbled to herself beside Ling Ran’s ears,
Old Xu is particularly afraid of death because he was an orphan in his youth, so he kept saying that he must not make his son an orphan. When he was in the criminal police force, he had a great future ahead of him, but as soon as his son was born, he immediately applied to be in the police dog unit. Who knew that…

Ling Ran quietly opened the system interface, and his gaze went to the remaining two Intermediate Treasure Chests.
If he were required to perform stomach cancer surgery, he could acquire the relevant skills in those two treasure chests.
