I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Therefore, since experience is essential, there must be a need for opportunities to perform surgery.

If their assigned mentors are unavailable, they'll look for other doctors.

The two people who focused their attention on Aki Tomoya also noticed the extent to which Yoshida Aoba had mentored him.

Aki Tomoya now has the opportunity to be the lead surgeon, which means that Yoshida Aoba will arrange surgeries for him one after another. The basic work that should have been his responsibility will no longer need to be worried about by him; it can be handed over to the rotating resident trainees.

As for their status, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the three of them are mostly responsible for basic work within the department. They have to do everything, and they are called upon to participate in surgeries.

Similarly, Aki Tomoya knew that there were some things he couldn't agree to, so he passed the buck to Yoshida Aoba.

If Majima and Nishikino wanted to use their relationship to increase the chances of surgery, Aki Tomo could put in a good word for Yoshida Aoba. But getting Aki Tomo to agree and nod in consent was a different story.

In reality, it was Yoshida Aoba who made the decisions.

After getting information from Aki Tomoya, the two realized that if they really wanted to get more surgical opportunities from Aki Tomoya, they needed to find a breakthrough with Yoshida Aoba.

After all, Aki Tomoya hadn't completely secured his position as the head surgeon.

Furthermore, it remains to be seen what kind of surgery Yoshida Aoba will arrange for him.

"Dr. Nishikino, I'll mention some things to Dr. Yoshida. You don't need to be afraid of Dr. Yoshida; just go and talk to him directly."

"An Yi, why don't you put in a good word for me too?"

Perhaps sensing the difference in treatment, Majima asked with some dissatisfaction.

However, Aki Tomoya just rolled his eyes at him.

They slept in the same place as Yoshida Aoba for two years, so how can their relationship be the same?

If it weren't for the fact that Nishikino really didn't have much contact with Yoshida Aoba, Aki Tomoya would have just let her say it herself.

"Thank you very much. I will apply to Dr. Yoshida."

When Nishikino Maki heard that Aki Tomoya was willing to speak up for her, she nodded happily.

As for Majima, he can talk to him himself; there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, there is one thing that Aki Tomoya is still a little worried about.

"By the way, you're seeking more surgical opportunities from my supervising doctor. Does that count as betrayal?"

To be honest, Aki Tomoya was still a little worried about what their supervising doctor thought.

He still knew about Dr. Nakagawa and Dr. Sagara.

One of them mainly handles the adults' side, and the other mainly handles the children's side. They got along quite well when they rotated before.

But these two are essentially traitors now, and it's hard to know what they'll think on their side.

Don't make them angry, that would be bad.

Aki Tomoya was still a little worried about their side.

"Dr. Nakagawa should understand."

"As for me, it was Dr. Sagara who suggested it. The surgical team members for his surgeries are basically arranged by Dr. Sasaki. Who can go in has to be approved by Dr. Sasaki."

The arrangement of the surgical team requires not only technical skills, but also the synergy between the personnel.

The surgical plan needs the head surgeon's approval, and who goes is also arranged by higher-ups based on the situation. It's not as simple as you want to have surgery with anyone. To ensure the success rate of the surgery, many factors need to be considered.

The main reason why Aki Tomoya was able to stay in the surgical team with Yoshida Aoba was that Yoshida Aoba was the head of the surgical department's prized student.

Furthermore, in addition to his academic background, Yoshida Aoba is an excellent cardiac surgeon, and surgery is not unfamiliar to him; on the contrary, he is very familiar with it.

So as long as there are no other problems, Aki Tomoya staying by his side as an assistant or something won't affect anything.

In terms of influence, Yoshida Aoba still has enough say in cardiac surgery.

The head of the Mono-bu department holds the highest position, but he delegates authority to Sasaki Ichiru, so Sasaki Ichiru is nominally second, but in reality, he is almost as powerful as the first.

The third one is Yoshida Aoba, who used to help the head of the Department of Physics with basic research at the university.

Whether it's Sasaki Ichiru or Yoshida Aoba, even if they didn't come to Kanto General Hospital, they could still be hired as professors at other university hospitals, and becoming the head professor of a department would be no problem at all.

Their qualifications and skills are indeed sufficient.

Therefore, it is important to follow the right people.

Whether Yoshida Aoba will agree to accept the two of them is beyond Aki Tomo's control.

But he's a good person, and if you're soft-hearted, you might accidentally nod in agreement.

Because of this incident, after they went to talk to him about it, Yoshida Aoba even had a private talk with him.

"Dr. Anki, you are such a good person!"

"You're the good person, Dr. Yoshida!"

Judging from Yoshida Aoba's expression, Aki Tomoya knew how conflicted he was.

Aki Tomoya is technically his disciple, so he can train him without much concern.

But Majima and Nishikino are different; we still need to consider the feelings of their supervising doctors.

They went directly to him and asked for his help, hoping to have the opportunity to join their surgical team in the future, which gave Yoshida Aoba a headache.

Does everyone think of him as some kind of pushover?

"Dr. Yoshida, what do you think?"

"Let me sound them out first!"

Build a young team?

It's not that it's impossible, but we need to see how things go first.

Chapter 482 What do you think?

Majima and Nishikino's requests were a somewhat troublesome matter for Yoshida Aoba.

However, he also had some ideas.

It's not impossible to build a young team around Aki Tomoya, and at the same time discuss with Nakagawa and Sagara to jointly cultivate these three promising young people.

But that would put a lot of pressure on him.

Because if he were to bring it up, those two people definitely wouldn't have time to help him.

Big head...

Let’s take a look at the situation first.

……

“This is my VIP patient, Mrs. Omi, the wife of the big boss in Chiba.”

Sasaki agreed that Aki Tomoya could now be the lead surgeon, but he didn't immediately schedule him for his first surgery.

However, a few days later, Yoshida Aoba took him to meet a VIP.

She was a 65-year-old woman, staying in the best single room in the hospital, with dedicated staff to take care of her; she clearly came from a wealthy family.

For VIPs like this, barring any unforeseen circumstances, everything needs to be arranged in advance and carefully.

However, Yoshida Aoba was not good at ingratiating himself with such important people.

A patient is a patient, and he sees everyone the same, no matter who they are.

Therefore, it's not uncommon for me to encounter some eccentric people and get entangled in medical malpractice lawsuits.

He has offended quite a few people.

Right now, there's someone they can use. Aki Tomoya looks like a young and handsome guy. Yoshida Aoba thinks that Lady Omi would prefer a young and handsome guy like Aki Tomoya to an old man like him.

So even if he is the attending physician of Lady Omi, all the formalities can be left to Aki Tomoya.

In response, Aki Tomoya could only say, "This is a hospital, not a host club."

"I know, I brought you here to see the report."

Yoshida Aoba smiled sullenly, touched his nose, and pushed the patient's report in front of Aki Tomoya.

The patient, a 65-year-old woman, was hospitalized after experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath following activity, accompanied by an inability to lie flat at night for a month.

In his past medical history, he underwent left-sided closed mitral valve commissurotomy twenty years ago due to rheumatic heart disease and mitral stenosis.

Several years ago, for the same reason, plus a new symptom—aortic stenosis with closure.

Incomplete; underwent mitral and aortic valve replacement surgery.

Having undergone two surgeries before, this hospitalization again seems to indicate a somewhat complicated situation.

"Rheumatic heart disease, post-mitral and aortic valve replacement surgery, mitral stenosis with regurgitation, aortic stenosis, tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension, NYHA class III-IV heart failure, grade II hypertension..."

Based on the diagnostic report and reviewing the patient's medical history, it's clear that surgery will be required again this time, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

"It will definitely require double valve replacement. Are you interested?"

Yoshida Aoba looked at Aki Tomoya, who was carefully reading the report, and asked him what his thoughts were on the surgery.

Aki Tomoya raised his head, a thought flashing in his eyes.

He looked at Yoshida Aoba with some surprise.
