The Second Hospital has clear rules: if an on-duty doctor causes a surgical failure or delays a patient's treatment due to personal reasons, resulting in death, the minimum punishment is dismissal.
In other words, if no one had stepped in to cover for him today, Doctor Wu—who failed to return in time—would most likely have lost his job. That was why he was so deeply grateful to Xu Qiaoqiao.
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't take the matter to heart. She casually waved a hand, saying, "You're too polite. This is our hospital's business to begin with. As the head of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, I naturally have the obligation to save patients. Even if you weren't around, it was only right for me to step in. You don't need to dwell on it."
