"Are you going to operate on this patient?" James looked at Su Jie and asked.

"Yes." Su Jie replied.

"In his case, if he wants surgical treatment, he can only use total aortic replacement."

James’s Chinese is not good, but he still tried his best to express his thoughts: “Surgery requires opening the patient, separating tissues, going deep into the most critical and core areas of the human body, removing, and suturing...

"

"Furthermore, this patient had just undergone a major emergency thoracotomy surgery a year ago, and his tolerance for surgery is definitely not as good as that of ordinary people."

"If you want to do this surgery, it must be very difficult!"

Su Jie said calmly: "I understand."

Do you know?

Are you sure you still want surgery?

James' mind was filled with questions. He didn't understand the brain circuit of the young doctor in front of him at all.

Is it possible that my Chinese is too poor, so I didn’t express my meaning clearly?

This operation is extremely difficult, so it is impossible for you Chinese doctors to complete it... Do you have to say this?

In fact, under other circumstances, James would not be so excited. There will always be some doctors in this world who think too highly of themselves. They always feel that they are the chosen one and can complete operations that other doctors cannot.

But for some reason, James felt deep down in his heart that Su Jie would not be such a person.

Although this was only the first official meeting between the two of them, a doctor who could complete corrective surgery for complex tetralogy of Fallot and suture a beating heart could not be an idiot with unclear self-awareness.

Su Jie was very surprised by the reaction of Dr. James, but out of politeness, Su Jie didn't say anything. He just turned to Dr. Sun and said, "Where is the patient now?"

"In the Sports Bureau, he is a well-known basketball player in the province. In fact, I just came from him, and his current mental state should not be very good."

When saying this, Dr. Sun couldn't help but glance at James.

Su Jie also took the opportunity to look at James.

James said very frankly: "I don't think this patient can be cured by surgery in China. My diagnosis is that he has very little life left, and he should cherish the remaining time."

Su Jie, who had been very gentle just now, frowned immediately after hearing James' words. He asked: "You just told the patient directly?"

"Of course, patients have the right to know this. I have always adhered to this approach at Mayo." James replied naturally. From beginning to end, he never felt that there was anything wrong with his approach.

"You shouldn't do this." Su Jie said somewhat rudely.

Dr. Sun felt that there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, so he immediately stood between the two of them, wanting to act as a peacemaker, but before he could speak, Su Jie and James said calmly at the same time:

"It's okay, Dr. Sun, we'll just have a reasonable discussion."

"Dr. Sun, it's okay!"

The two of them had a very tacit understanding and behaved very restrainedly. They did not look like they were about to roll up their sleeves and have a big fight. Dr. Sun had no choice but to stand aside and continue to watch the development of the situation.

"You shouldn't do this."

Su Jie continued what he just said: "You don't know what impact your words will have on the patient. Words may be good medicine, but they may also turn into the sharpest knife."

"You are not qualified to directly sentence the patient to death. You are just a doctor, not God."

James shrugged easily, still not feeling that there was anything wrong with him. He said: "Of course I am not God, but I tell the patient my diagnosis, which is also one of my responsibilities."

"Can't a doctor truthfully tell his patient his judgment?"

"And patients also have the right to choose to believe or not believe."

Su Jie frowned, and suddenly realized that the two people's ideas were completely different, and there would be no results if they continued to argue, so he said with some waning interest:

"In my opinion, you do not have the responsibility and responsibility as a doctor. You may be an excellent surgeon, but that's all."

James said a little reluctantly: "Why do you think so."

Su Jie was too lazy to continue arguing with James, but James was a little reluctant and insisted on Su Jie giving an explanation.

"Why do you say that I am just a surgeon? A doctor is not a tool for surgery. Your evaluation of me is an insult to me."

Su Jie couldn't bear the annoyance anymore, so he could only look at the foreign doctor who was masked for the first time seriously and said: "I didn't mean to insult you. In fact, I don't know you either. I just simply feel that for this

As far as the patient is concerned, you have not fulfilled your obligation."

"What obligation?" James asked, glaring at Su Jie.

"Remain humble and reverent. You can diagnose a patient as incurable, but your diagnosis can only represent the boundary of your ability. In other words, why do you think other doctors can't save him?"

Su Jie didn't care about anything now, and said bluntly: "Southeast Hospital is confident to operate on this patient, why do you want us to give him a blow before contacting him? What if the patient completely loses confidence and is unwilling to continue receiving treatment?

, so what role did you play?"

"You are a doctor. What you should give your patients is hope, not despair."

"Moreover, this is not Mayo, this is China. Our doctors here are never willing to tell patients the cruel truth. Of course, you have your reasons, and you have always implemented your beliefs at Mayo."

"But the world is never black and white. Patients in China are not used to facing the cruel truth. Why do you have to use your method to treat patients in our country?"

"You don't have the absolute ability to sentence patients to death. At the same time, you just came here and you don't abide by our rules here."

Su Jie looked at James coldly: "So I said you didn't fulfill your obligation, is it wrong?"

"You!" James opened his mouth, but he didn't know whether he was unable to express his thoughts in Chinese or was speechless. He finally remained silent.

After dealing with this strange foreign doctor, Su Jie turned to Dr. Sun and said, "Dr. Sun, please contact the patient. Southeast Hospital is willing to operate on him!"

Dr. Sun nodded sluggishly and glanced at James, who was silent. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The first time we met, he was able to make Dr. James feel embarrassed... He is indeed Dr. Su Jie.
