Chapter 10 — After I Resigned, The Whole Hospital Was Paralyzed

The corners of the lips curled slightly. I don't refuse anymore. Because I know. A new journey. Just started. Tan Tranh's words were like a small stone thrown into the already calm lake in my heart. An independent surgery center. Absolute autonomy. Wholeheartedly conquer new limits of medicine. That is almost every surgeon's biggest dream. What Tan Tranh gave me is not simply a position. It's a stage wide enough for me to develop my full potential. I was silent for a long time. Finally, I still couldn't help but ask:

"Principal Qin."

"Why do you trust me so much?"

There was a soft laugh on the other end of the line.

"Because we are the same type of people."

"You and I both believe that."

"New expertise is the foundation to solve all problems."

Tan Tranh paused for a moment then continued:

"I also need your professionalism to get something done."

"Do you remember the Da Vinci robot system?"

Of course I remember. That is the starting point of it all. It's what caused Liu Zhenhua and Tu Khai to gradually fall into the abyss. Tan Tranh continued:

"Tu Dong Thang kept his word."

"The robot has been transported to the hospital."

"Currently in the process of installation and calibration."

"But this whole hospital."

"Even me."

"None of them really understand its full potential."

"We only use it to perform routine surgeries."

"For example, gallbladder removal."

"Or prostatectomy."

"That usage is like driving a supercar to the market."

"Extremely wasteful."

I smiled softly. What Tan Tranh said is not wrong. The Da Vinci robot was never created just to do simple things. Her voice suddenly became more serious.

"I know you keep up with the latest technology in surgical robotics."

"I know you understand it."

"I want you to be the first tamer of this machine."

"Taking it into areas we never dared to think about before."

"For example, the Whipple surgery is completely robotic."

"Or robot-assisted liver transplant."

"I want to turn the machine that appeared in a scandal..."

"The city symbolizes the rise of the hospital."

"Using the highest technology."

"To wash away the darkest past."

Each word of Tan Tranh seemed to hit my heart hard. The blood has already cooled after recent events. Started to boil again. The idea of going to Tibet to see the snow mountains suddenly became no longer important. Because before my eyes. There is a much higher mountain peak. Waiting for me to conquer. I gently squeezed the phone. Just answer one question.

"I'm back."

Three days later. I once again entered the gate of Central Hospital. No banners. No fresh flowers. There was also no welcoming applause. Tan Tranh just quietly led me to the new operating room. Where the Da Vinci robot has just been completely installed. Giant mechanical arms. Sophisticated metal joints. The same control system emits pale blue light. It all feels futuristic. I reached out and touched the cold metal shell. As if feeling the pulse of a new era.

"Welcome back."

"Director Tran."

Tan Tranh stood beside him, smiling. I also smiled slightly. I'm really home. News of my return quickly spread hospital. Especially the Department of General Surgery. When Headmaster Vuong saw me. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Just kept patting my shoulder. Red eyes. As for Tieu Vuong, there is no need to say anything. He almost wanted to cry. After a period of thorough training. Now he has become a key subject that Director Vuong is devoted to cultivating. Can undertake many important tasks on your own. No longer the inexperienced intern. News about the establishment of the Precision Micro-Invasive Surgery Center was also quickly announced. During the personnel selection session. I only give two standards. Expertise must be strong enough. Quality must be clean enough. I want to build a pure team. Where people come for medicine. Not for relationship or benefit. The first person to join the center is of course Tieu Vuong. I brought him directly from the Department of General Surgery. Although director Vuong is very sorry. But he understood. Follow me. Little King will have a broader future. Some core personnel from the Department of Anesthesiology. Department of Diagnostic Imaging. Department of Pathology. Also actively apply to join. They were tired of fighting in the hospital. What they need is a place where they can focus on their profession. Each piece of the puzzle appeared one after another. My team gradually took shape. But at the same time. The challenge also begins. The Da Vinci robot is very powerful. But to control it. Requires extremely high learning ability and accuracy. It amplifies the doctor's vision. Increase accuracy to amazing levels. But at the same time. Also magnify every mistake, even the smallest one. Including me. Everyone has to start again from zero. For weeks. We almost live in a simulation room. Practice stitching over and over again. Cut blood vessels. Fingertips ache. The wrist joint is stiff. Neck and shoulder are numb. But no one ever complained.
