Yuan Ye found Director Liu and expressed to Director Liu that he wanted to assist him in operating Li Minru. Director Liu said that he did not need it and walked into the elevator without looking back. Yuan Ye hesitated for a while, stopped the elevator, and expressed that he understood Director Liu and that Director Liu was affectionate and loyal to Li Minru. After hearing this, Director Liu smiled and said he understood.
On the day of Li Minru's surgery, Yuan Ye was in charge of delivering the examination, and He Tong served as the third assistant. Director Liu did not let Chen Hui participate, but Chen Hui watched the entire operation. Li Minru was pushed into the operating room. When she saw Director Liu, she expressed her uneasiness to Director Liu. Director Liu comforted her and asked the doctor to anesthetize Li Minru. After the tumor was removed, Yuan Ye helped send it for pathological examination and learned that the resection margins at three o'clock and six o'clock were positive. He sent it again for examination and learned that the resection margin at three o'clock was still positive. After repeated attempts several times, the resection margin was still positive at three o'clock. Bai Chun suggested that Director Liu switch to total resection, because if the resection was performed at three o'clock, the value of breast conservation would be less. Director Liu proposed to try one last time, this time sending the sentinel lymph nodes for examination. Facts have proved that Director Liu’s persistence is meaningful. This time the test showed negative margins and negative sentinel lymph nodes, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After the operation, everyone sat down to rest. Bai Chun mentioned that he was very tired recently, and Chen Hui kept making trouble. After hearing this, Director Liu said that Chen Hui should be left to fend for himself.
The surgery held a meeting the next day, and Bai Chun announced that this year's residency system would be reformed, and that the surgery would only have two places in the hospital. This means that only two of Chen Hui, Yuan Ye and He Tong can remain during the year-end assessment. Director Liu said that he did not want the three people to be mentally burdened by this notice, and asked the three people to share their inner thoughts. Yuan Ye and He Tong were both optimistic, while Chen Hui seriously stated that he would not leave and would become a surgeon. After hearing this, everyone laughed and left the conference room to go to ward rounds. In the corridor, Dr. Wang complained a few times, feeling that the hospital system was a bit unreasonable and that people were being eliminated due to insufficient manpower. Bai Chun said that surgery has the lowest elimination rate and only newcomers are eliminated. In other departments, even the elderly in the hospital were dismissed.
During the ward rounds, someone was admitted to a ward but no one was there. Director Liu asked someone to find the patient. He Tong found the patient based on the bottle of perfume placed on the patient's table and the fragrance in the air. The patient wore a white coat from Puyun Hospital, pretended to be a doctor, and mingled with the team of doctors. Director Liu asked about the source of the clothes, and nurse Zhang Keai said that she borrowed them. Zhang Keai thought that the patients could help promote the clothes. Afraid that Zhang Keai would be scolded, the patient Zhang Kejia took the initiative to explain that he was an actor and wanted to experience the life of a surgeon because he had to play a surgeon. At the same time, she kept praising Director Liu and said that she would learn from Director Liu how to play a good surgeon. Director Liu said that it was working time now and he wanted to see Zhang Kejia. Bai Chun introduced the basic situation of Zhang Kejia. After listening, Director Liu asked Chen Hui and the others to come up with solutions.
Zhang Kejia's hospitalization was known to the director of the production crew. The director wanted to visit Zhang Kejia, and Zhang Kejia was extremely panicked. The role of Zhang Kejia was obtained with great difficulty from the management, and it was hard-won, so Zhang Kejia must not be hospitalized and affect the start of filming. When Zhang Kejia learned that the director of the production was coming, she quickly ran to the surgical office to ask the doctor for help in concealing her condition. Chen Hui and the others immediately helped Zhang Kejia tidy up the room. The crew director only knew that Zhang Kejia was here for a physical examination. He Tong also helped Zhang Kejia act in a scene to convince the crew director that Zhang Kejia was in good health.
After seeing off the crew director, Director Liu told Zhang Kejia that he was suffering from apathetic thyroid crisis. If he was not treated in time, he might go into coma and shock at any time. Without surgery, his life would be in danger. But Zhang Kejia was unwilling to give up the drama and said she was determined not to undergo surgery. The agent was very anxious and asked Director Liu about the recovery situation from the operation.
He Tong felt that someone should watch Zhang Kejia. He thought that Zhang Kejia might have escaped to avoid the operation, so Director Liu sent Chen Hui to follow Zhang Kejia. In the evening, the nurse asked Zhang Kejia, who was memorizing the script, to rest, but Zhang Kejia refused. But he still pretended to sleep, and after the nurse left, he secretly ran to the stairwell and memorized the script. Chen Hui, who was writing a paper outside the ward, saw her and followed her into the stairwell. Chen Hui heard her reciting the lines for appendicitis surgery. When Zhang Kejia recited the wrong lines, Chen Hui suddenly appeared and pointed out Zhang Kejia's mistake. Zhang Kejia took the opportunity to ask Chen Hui what the young doctor looked like during appendicitis surgery, and Chen Hui described it. But Zhang Kejia still couldn't express that feeling in the performance, so Chen Hui proposed to take Zhang Kejia for an appendicitis operation. The two performed the appendicitis operation in front of the air. After the operation, Zhang Kejia praised him for his superb skills and felt that he had performed many appendicitis surgeries. But Chen Hui said that it was his first time doing it today, and Zhang Kejia was stunned for a moment.
