Ruan Xiaoqin suggested in a senior's tone.
"I believe the bone spur is irritating the surrounding soft tissues, causing the patient's pain. Moreover, there's swelling in the patient's wrist soft tissues; removing the bone spur surgically is the first choice. The only tricky part now is the recurrence issue, so I would like the advice of two senior doctors."
Dr. Qin spoke at length without offering a solution to the problem.
He merely pointed out the key issues.
He naturally passed the ball back to the two senior doctors.
In the hospital, there is a strict hierarchy among doctors. When encountering unsolvable issues, interns and residents consult attending physicians, who then may consult the chief physician.
This is only natural.
Therefore, without some competence, a chief physician could not lead a team.
Otherwise, getting embarrassed daily would be too much to bear!
A significant reason why Professor Wu can lead a team is his specialized skill in bone cement treatment.
