Just past ten on Saturday morning, Gu Lin, the deputy chief of cardiac surgery at the Affiliated Hospital, and Ni Leixing, a senior attending physician, made their way leisurely to a private room on the second floor of Xinlei Tea House near the hospital's family housing complex.
Pushing the door open, the two of them saw Liang Zhao Kui, Deng Chunming, and Zhang Shi'an had already arrived and were leisurely sipping tea.
Gu Lin sat down in an empty seat by the tea table and chuckled. "I heard that kid yesterday couldn't hold it until the end of the surgery because he had to pee."
"The kid's out of shape. He's not even as tough as us old-timers. He really needs to work on his physical fitness."
Liang Zhao Kui snorted, bluntly calling him out. "Mr. Gu, don't flatter yourself."
"Everyone knows your routine. You start preparing a day in advance, eating and drinking less, and you even wear an extra-large diaper into the operating room."
