In front of the faucet, Doctor Chen carefully scrubbed his fingers with a brush, focused on washing his hands. Next to him, Doctor Higashiyama and Nakagawa Susumu were doing the exact same thing.

"Doctor Chen, is it really possible to perform two different surgeries simultaneously?" Even though the surgical plan had been confirmed and he had already rehearsed it with Doctor Chen, Doctor Higashiyama was still visibly worried, "Shouldn't we cancel the glossopharyngeal nerve sheath tumor excision surgery and just do the esophagectomy and the colonic reconstruction surgery today?

It would be safer that way!"

"Doctor Higashiyama, did you clearly see Dr. Daimon's technique during my last surgery? Do you still remember it?" Doctor Chen didn't respond to Doctor Higashiyama's suggestion to cancel the surgery but instead asked about the last operation.

"Of course I remember Dr. Daimon's technique, but that's not something just anyone can do, right? I'd be grateful enough to complete the surgery successfully myself; I can't possibly reach Dr. Daimon's level." Facing Doctor Chen's question, Doctor Higashiyama showed a lack of confidence because, after all, not everyone possesses the superhuman surgical skills of Daimon Michiko.

"Relax, Doctor Higashiyama, I was just asking if you remembered Dr. Daimon's technique because I will need you to assist me with the colonic reconstruction surgery that Dr. Daimon performed last time." Doctor Chen smiled at Doctor Higashiyama and then turned to Nakagawa Susumu, asking him, "Nakagawa, how do you feel about being the second assistant for the first time?

Don't get too nervous and mess things up, alright? You are going to assist Doctor Higashiyama with the esophagectomy later!"

"Ye... Yes!" Although Doctor Chen had told him not to be too nervous, it was still Nakagawa Susumu's first time as a second assistant in a surgery.

Especially during the beginning of the operations, when Doctor Chen and Doctor Higashiyama would each be performing a different surgery, one being the glossopharyngeal nerve sheath tumor excision and the other the esophagectomy, and he had to help Doctor Higashiyama with the esophagectomy as if he were the first assistant, Nakagawa couldn't help but feel extremely nervous, and it even made his speech stutter.

Seeing Nakagawa Susumu's nervousness, to the point where his brush almost fell from his hands, Doctor Chen could only shake his head helplessly, hoping he would be less nervous when he got to the operating table.

Although Doctor Chen wasn't worried about Nakagawa's issue, Doctor Higashiyama was still concerned, "Doctor Chen, are you really sure about performing the glossopharyngeal nerve sheath tumor excision and the esophagectomy at the same time? Will we have enough time? What if something goes wrong? Without you leading, I won't be able to complete the colonic reconstruction!"

"Relax, Doctor Higashiyama." Doctor Chen wanted to pat Doctor Higashiyama's shoulder to comfort him, but since he was washing his hands, he couldn't, so he said with a smile instead, "Although I don't have the speed and technique of Dr. Daimon, the glossopharyngeal nerve sheath tumor excision is not a complicated surgery. It may be Dr.

Daimon's catchphrase, but using it should not be a problem, I will not fail."

After speaking, Doctor Chen rinsed off the suds from his hands and put on the surgical gown with the help of a nurse next to him before heading towards the operating room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the observation room above the operating room, Professor Kube and Yamamoto Hisae stood in that place once again, observing Doctor Higashiyama's... no, rather Doctor Chen's surgery.

```

"To avoid burdening the patient with two separate operations, we decided to concurrently perform the glossopharyngeal nerve sheath tumor excision and the esophagectomy, a feat only Mr. Chen Yu could confidently accomplish," Professor Kube couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the ongoing surgery below, marveling at the young man's daring spirit.

Although the glossopharyngeal nerve sheath tumor excision wasn't a particularly complex surgery, it involved nerves, demanding high skill levels from the leading surgeon. It wasn't something any doctor could do, as accidentally cutting a nerve could lead to a medical incident.

Only doctors with the skill and courage of Chen Yu would dare undertake a major surgery like an esophagectomy while simultaneously performing a glossopharyngeal nerve sheath tumor excision.

However, as Yamamoto Hisae watched Chen Yu skillfully operate alone, she had a different opinion, "Although Doctor Chen's skills are already very refined, Doctor Daimon's surgical prowess from last time was still superior to his."

"Daimon Michiko?" Professor Kube raised his eyebrows at the mention of the name, reminiscing the awe he felt watching her surgery, "It's a pity that she was banned from practicing medicine in Japan by the former president of the Japan Medical Association. No matter how good her surgical skills are, they can't be utilized by Eastern University Affiliated Hospital."

Professor Kube knew well of Daimon Michi's exceptional medical skills, but a banned doctor, even if a freelance one, couldn't be employed by a hospital, unless Eastern University Affiliated Hospital wanted to offend the behemoth that was the Medical Association, comprising all the doctors in Japan.

"That said, there's still room for maneuver. If the incumbent president overturns the decision of his predecessor, it wouldn't be considered offending the Medical Association, would it?" Yamamoto Hisae, with more experience in these machinations than Professor Kube, smiled confidently before adding, "Your star pupil is currently on the rise.

Once his research is disclosed and becomes known to the world, all eyes in the medical community will converge on him. Eastern University Affiliated Hospital and the University of Tokyo Medical School will subsequently garner immense attention. At such a time, a small issue of a freelance doctor's license to practice—if your star pupil voices support, who would refuse?

Especially since that Doctor Daimon happens to be a good friend of his girlfriend." Find more chapters on empire

"Even if Daimon Michiko's medical skills are exceptional, she's still just a freelance doctor in the end. Why would you, Director Yamamoto, go to such lengths to court her? Since when did Eastern University Affiliated Hospital become so short of doctors?" Professor Kube failed to see through Yamamoto Hisae's intentions.

Yamamoto Hisae turned to face Professor Kube, but rather than explaining, she posed a question, "Have you heard of DoctorX, Director Kube?"

"I have heard a bit, apparently, they're a group of doctors with concealed identities internationally, specifically tackling various complicated diseases, even daring to perform surgeries without established surgical techniques, which can be considered a group practicing experimental medicine without moral boundaries." As a highly traditional academic doctor, Professor Kube naturally had little regard for such individuals.

Although the medical skills of DoctorX might be exceptional, it was difficult for him to feel their sense of responsibility for patients' lives given their readiness to perform any surgery.

"While that may be true, it's undeniable that DoctorX's medical skills far surpass those who follow the systematic education of a school, and Daimon Michi is the best proof of that," said Yamamoto Hisae, her hands crossed over her chest as she gazed down at Chen Yu in the operating room, who had just completed the glossopharyngeal nerve sheath tumor excision surgery.

"Her surgical skills are like a scalpel. If used well, they can bring great benefits to our Eastern University Affiliated Hospital. To wield her, however, one needs the hands that can hold the scalpel."

"Mr. Chen Yu?" Although Professor Kube spoke in a questioning tone, he and Yamamoto Hisae both already knew the answer.
