Chapter 13 — After I Resigned, The Whole Hospital Was Paralyzed

"Very good."

"Now I have become General Instructor Tran."

"Fame is bigger than this old man."

I reluctantly burst out laughing.

"Teacher, stop teasing me."

"I'm not teasing."

Academician Truong's voice suddenly became serious.

"I'm really proud of you."

"From start to finish."

"You have proven the simplest thing."

I listened silently. He said slowly:

"On the operating table."

"Technology is the only truth."

Speaking of this. He suddenly changed the subject.

"Ah yes."

"Next month in Beijing there will be an International Summit on Micro-Invasive Surgery."

"All members of the board of directors have agreed."

"I want to invite you to be the keynote speaker."

I was stunned. Heart rate suddenly increases. Keynote speaker at international conferences. It is the highest stage of the world's surgical world. It is an honor that countless doctors pursue all their lives. I haven't finished my sentence yet. Was interrupted by Academician Truong.

"Do not refuse."

"This is not my personal opinion."

"But it is the expectation of the entire domestic surgical community."

He laughed loudly. There was undisguised pride in his voice.

"Let those green eyes and big noses see."

"In the most advanced fields."

"We Chinese can also stand at the top."

After hanging up. I stood in front of the office window. Quietly looking at the traffic below. Remember everything that happened in the past months. It feels like a dream. From a oppressed doctor. Removed from primary surgical site. Forced to resign. Until today. Facing the opportunity to step onto the highest academic stage in the world. My life has completely changed. But I know. What supported all those achievements was never luck. It's the years standing at the operating table. Day after day. Sharpen your technique. It is the courage to dare to face injustice. It is the unwavering faith of a doctor. One month later. International Convention Center. I stood on the podium. Below are thousands of leading surgical experts from all over the world. Behind me. The giant screen is showing the center's most typical surgeries. Each movement is as smooth as flowing water. Each dissection operation is extremely precise. Each step of the treatment makes the viewer almost forget that it is surgery. It's more like a work of art completed with a scalpel. In the auditorium. There were continuously sounds of suppressed surprise. I don't use flowery words. Not trying to create exaggeration. Just calmly tell it. Talk about technique. Tell about treatment thinking. Tell about our team. And tell about the patients whose lives have changed thanks to those advances. When the speech ends. The entire hall fell into silence. There was a long silence. To the point where I could hear my own heartbeat. Then the next second. Applause rang out. From one person. Then ten people. One hundred people. Finally, it turned into a fierce wave that swept across the auditorium. The applause was like thunder. Lasts endlessly. Everyone stood up simultaneously. For me. The longest round of applause at the conference that year. That moment. What they respect is not just Tran Hy. It's the ability of the whole team behind me. Is the Primary Center for Micro-Invasive Surgery body. Central Hospital. It is a surgical foundation that we have devoted all our heart and soul to building. We don't need to use words to prove anything. Because on the operating table. Strength is always the most powerful language. And this time. We have used our strength to win the respect of the whole world. After the conference ended. I almost became the focus of the entire event. Many surgical experts from all over the world proactively came to see me. Someone wants to exchange academically. Someone invited me to their hospital to teach. Some people also offered to cooperate in research. Even a leading medical equipment corporation in the world offers remuneration that makes anyone moved. They wanted to offer me the position of Global Medical Director. Salary calculated in astronomical numbers. But in the end. I refused.
