Soon, it was lunchtime.
Cao Dongge saw that there was only one follow-up appointment left for the morning. Just then, Dr. Cao received a phone call.
Besides his clinic hours, Cao Dongge spent most of his time in the operating room. He was the subordinate Director Shen Xiaofei trusted most, as well as his go-to assistant.
Seeing the call was from Director Shen Xiaofei, Dr. Cao answered immediately.
He glanced at the time; there was just one follow-up patient left.
"Dr. Wu, could you keep an eye on things for a moment? I need to take a call. When the patient for follow-up number 23 arrives, you can take a look at her test results first. Don't say too much, just tell her to wait for a call from me. I'll be quick."
Physician Cao took his phone and stepped behind the curtain in the consultation room to take the call.
A few moments later, a woman in her thirties walked in.
