Episode 3 recap: Lin Yi directly confronted Zhou Xiao Feng.
An elderly person rushed to the hospital because of chest pain, and Lin Yi examined them. He suspected that the person had aortic dissection and quickly took them through the green channel. Director Jiang handed over the surgery to Lin Yi, which made Lin Yi happy, and he assured them that he would successfully complete the task.
Lin Yi abandoned the patient he was examining and hurried to the operating room. First, Lin Yi explained the situation of aortic dissection to the patient's family and emphasized the potential life-threatening danger. If intervention was not done quickly, the mortality rate could be as high as 50 percent. The family didn't think much and quickly prepared to sign the consent form. The daughter mentioned that her father had sought medical advice before, but a doctor named Zhou Xiao Feng said it was nothing serious and just prescribed some medicine for them to go home. Upon hearing this, Lin Yi became even angrier and vowed to give it his all.
Soon, they were in the operating room. This was also the first collaboration between Lin Yi and the team. Everyone held their breath, and even the hospital director was observing the surgical procedure. Thanks to Lin Yi's timely discovery, the patient's life was saved from being in grave danger. The operation proceeded intensely, and overall, it was a great success. Lin Yi's abilities gained recognition from the team.
Liu Dong took the patient to the ICU and informed Fang Xiao Ran about the situation. However, Fang Xiao Ran didn't like him because Lin Yi and Zhou Xiao Feng were in a conflicting state. After finishing his busy work, Lin Yi remembered the daughter's suspicion that the diagnosis might have been a misdiagnosis. The patient's family also lodged a complaint against Zhou Xiao Feng and even accused him of misdiagnosis.
Zhou Xiao Feng received a phone call from the director and explained the situation when he received the patient. However, Lin Yi persisted in his accusations, feeling that after the incident with Mr. Wang had just passed, a similar situation had occurred again. Director Bai continuously spoke in support of Zhou Xiao Feng, who firmly insisted that there was no aortic dissection when the patient was discharged. If there was evidence to prove otherwise, Lin Yi promised to clear Zhou Xiao Feng's name, and Lin Yi agreed to that.
Zhou Xiao Feng took out the CT scan of the patient when they were discharged, and indeed, it showed no signs of aortic dissection. Lin Yi had nothing to say, and Fang Xiao Ran quickly found two similar cases on the internet. Director Bai naturally didn't want his subordinate to be wronged, so Lin Yi had to stand up and apologize to Zhou Xiao Feng. Zhou Xiao Feng didn't blame Lin Yi and accepted his apology.
Liu Dong apologized to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi admitted that he also had responsibility in this matter. Afterwards, Lin Yi voluntarily explained the situation to the patient's family. Zhou Xiao Feng would also find time to check on the condition of the elderly patient. When Zhou Xiao Feng was about to leave, Lin Yi also came by. Before leaving, Zhou Xiao Feng proactively offered to be consulted if needed.
Fang Xiao Ran approached Lin Yi to question him, but ended up being criticized by colleagues because, after all, Lin Yi was her superior. Zhou Xiao Feng would also go to the school to give lectures to students. The students wanted to attend a lecture by Professor Fang, Zhou Xiao Feng's mother, and Zhou Xiao Feng didn't directly refuse but said that academics should be their priority.
While Zhou Xiao Feng was teaching a class, Zhang Zhen called. Zhou Xiao Feng hung up the phone, and Zhang Zhen sent a message informing Zhou Xiao Feng that a car accident victim had just been brought in, and other doctors were all in the operating room. Zhou Xiao Feng quickly returned to the hospital without thinking too much.
As the patient had a ruptured heart and needed immediate surgery, Zhou Xiao Feng quickly performed the operation with Lin Yi watching by their side. After all, both cardiology and cardiovascular surgery required strong collaboration. Zhou Xiao Feng finished the initial tasks and now it was Lin Yi's turn.
Fang Xiao Ran learned that her brother had been busy all day, so she took the opportunity during his break to bring him food. However, Zhou Xiao Feng didn't need so much and only kept a sandwich in the end, but Fang Xiao Ran was still very happy.
At that moment, an ambulance arrived at the entrance. Zhou Xiao Feng didn't have time to eat and quickly went to the ambulance. This time, it was a female patient who had been brought in.
I really dislike Lin Yi's character portrayal; it's truly speechless. Although geniuses can be arrogant at times, his arrogance lacks any intelligence. He's commonly referred to as lacking emotional intelligence. Moreover, after practicing medicine for so many years, he's still just an associate chief physician.
His personality somewhat contradicts his experiences. Honestly, I find this character portrayal quite perplexing. Does the screenwriter really have to rely on such conflicting and contradictory elements to depict a person's growth?
Where does this kind of narrow-minded thinking come from? It's truly baffling. It's not even one-thousandth as informative as a documentary. It's purely for entertainment purposes, and if you watch the drama without engaging your brain, it can still be enjoyable.
Speaking objectively, this Dr. Lin, without knowing the facts, blindly criticizes other doctors from a moral high ground. Then why don't you send the patient to the doctors you trusted in your previous unit?
Why didn't you go find Mr. Wang when you called him and knew that he hadn't undergone the imaging procedure? Why didn't you forcefully take him to the hospital, spend a bunch of money, and then get blamed for making him spend money?
