Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Everyone Listen to Her

Xu Ying quickly pushed Liu Wenxuan aside, blocking the way to the operating table: “Don’t move yet! This lynx is very likely misdiagnosed, it doesn’t need an amputation!”

“It says the leg pain is caused by stomach pain.”

The lynx protected by Xu Ying had teary eyes; it was thrilled that its leg could be saved.

At this moment, Xu Ying’s back appeared taller than a tiger in its eyes.

Xu Ying calmly analyzed: “The cause of the ailment should be in the abdomen, we should check for fluid accumulation, inflammation, or any organ pathology in the abdominal cavity.”

The three people who were called over by Fu Qiuhua to help were stunned upon hearing this.

Liu Wenxuan, frustrated by the disturbance of such a good opportunity for an injection, was about to flare up when she saw Kuang Ming entering. She quickly said, “Director Kuang, Xu Ying says your plan for the lynx’s amputation was a misdiagnosis.”

Kuang Ming was already in a foul mood due to the non-cooperative lynx, he tossed his sleeve: “Misdiagnosis? I’ve been a veterinarian for ten years; my skills are much more solid than your four years of college filled with eating and drinking.”

“Are you the director or am I? Are you trying to teach me how to do my job? Have the praises from Ming Sheng Daily gone to your head?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiuhua frowned and adjusted his glasses on his nose: “Director Kuang, what’s really going on with this lynx, why does it need amputation?”

Facing Fu Qiuhua’s question, Kuang Ming suddenly became patient, speaking warmly: “Professor Fu, you may not be familiar with the situation as you just arrived.”

“This lynx was rescued by Comrade Liu Wenxuan, and when it was found, it was dirty and smelly with ticks covering many parts of its body.”

“Especially the two hind legs were particularly serious, with stiffness and lameness in the hind limbs, and a blood test showing elevated white blood cells, caused by bacterial infection in the hind legs.”

“If we don’t amputate now, it might die when the infection spreads through the body.”

Xu Ying immediately caught the point in Kuang Ming’s words: “If it’s inflammation in the abdomen, that could also lead to elevated white blood cells.”

Kuang Ming snorted coldly: “We took an X-ray, there’s no problem in the abdomen.”

Xu Ying quickly retorted: “Early peritonitis isn’t obvious on X-ray, you need to assess it based on clinical symptoms.”

Although she died suddenly in her previous life, before she could accomplish much, at least she was a veterinarian recognized by the United Nations Animal Rescue Action, with a decent knowledge base and clinical experience.

She argued based on reason, not noticing Fu Qiuhua’s gaze on her becoming increasingly bright.

Kuang Ming, hearing each sentence refuting him, didn’t want to argue: “Don’t try applying those textbook formulas here, clinical diagnosis isn’t the same as your superficial talks on paper, and now you’re tutoring me?”

“The longer you delay, the more danger it gets into.”

—”Then just ask it directly!”

Xu Ying pointed to the lynx, which was curled up quietly on the table, then turned to ask it, “You don’t want your leg cut off, right?”

“It’s your abdominal discomfort causing the stiffness in your hind legs, right?”

The lynx immediately nodded, its ear tips with two black tufts swaying, behaving exceptionally obedient next to Xu Ying.

It even tapped its abdomen with its paw afterward, cooperating immensely.

This scene brought silence to the entire operating room, but it was as if everyone could hear a “smack” sound echoing, akin to slapping faces.

Kuang Ming and Liu Wenxuan were dumbfounded, wondering why this lynx was so friendly to Xu Ying when they were just kicked several times by this fierce beast.

“It was kicking from the bed with quite some strength, showing its hind limbs are not that infected.”

Recalling the scene just now, Xu Ying became more firm in her judgment: “The shocking appearance of the tick wounds misled your judgment.”

Embarrassed, Kuang Ming, face flushed, turned to Fu Qiuhua: “Professor Fu, forgive the overzealousness of my staff, what do you think about this matter…”

Fu Qiuhua straightforwardly said: “From now on, follow Xu Ying’s arrangements; your job is to cooperate.”

Kuang Ming choked on his words, stunned in place.

Fu Qiuhua is a Ph.D. advisor from Agricultural and Forestry University, a top professor in veterinary medicine, with millions, even billion-level research projects under his belt.

Xu Ying had only known her for a few minutes, how did she get into her good graces so quickly?

Liu Wenxuan, standing by, was also shocked. Fu Qiuhua had been here for several days, and she kept trying to earn a place in front of her, hoping to get involved in her projects, yet Professor Fu might not even remember her name!

Who would have thought Xu Ying got support from Professor Fu within just an hour of arriving?

Liu Wenxuan, feeling wronged, said: “Professor Fu, Xu Ying is so reckless, she just pushed me away, my arm still hurts, and if the anesthesia needle I’m holding accidentally injures me, the consequences could be severe.”

Kuang Ming was feeling uneasy all this while, quickly adding: “Yes, Professor Fu, Xu Ying has been out of college for less than a half year, she can make suggestions, but how can she lead the team?”

“Xu Ying can understand animals; of course, we should listen to her!”

Fu Qiuhua impatiently spoke: “You shouldn’t go against her just to save face. In the operating room, your role isn’t some leader; you are a doctor saving animal lives. The patient comes first.”

Fu Qiuhua’s words were piercingly direct, and instantly quelled Kuang Ming, making him too ashamed to meet Xu Ying’s gaze; it was indeed his authority being challenged that made him angry.

Turning her gaze to the resentful Liu Wenxuan, “And you, had you acted recklessly a moment ago, you might have been scratched by the lynx, and if it scratched your face, that would ruin your appearance. Xu Ying’s earlier action was to save you, yet instead of apologizing, you’re placing blame back on her.”

Liu Wenxuan, feeling ashamed, lowered her head, her throat moving as she dryly said to Xu Ying, “Sorry, I misunderstood you.”

Xu Ying blinked, looking at Fu Qiuhua with admiration, a sense of being protected like a chick by a hen.

She initially thought Fu Qiuhua was just a seasoned animal rescuer at Desert Rescue Station, but didn’t expect her to be a research professor, straightforward and sensible, she was indeed impressive.

“I’m here for academic work, don’t bother me with your games, talented individuals like Xiao Xu should not be wasted.”

Fu Qiuhua spoke approvingly: “This young woman just drew blood, injected, a series of actions were professional and skillful, seems to have years of experience, more solid than any grad students I’ve taught.”

The two graduate students under the mentor, Qi Xingchen and Zhuo Yi, nodded in agreement, their heads bobbing like chickens pecking rice.

“Indeed, Little Xu Station Chief surprised me, strong professional foundation, adept in operation.”

“Feels like she could be our senior, looks nothing like a fresh graduate, must have put in a lot of effort in private.”

Fu Qiuhua looked at Xu Ying: “How to diagnose and treat this lynx next is up to you.”

Everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned to Xu Ying.
