Frontline News, the midday interview segment, unprecedentedly aired for an entire half hour.
In this half-hour period, the first half unfolded like a documentary, narrating the process from the moment the news was received to when Shen Qiang entered the operating room and perfectly completed the surgery, removing a huge tumor from the patient's abdominal cavity.
It vividly captured everything including the arrogant director Wang's mockery, despair, and eventual pleading for help, as well as the reactions of the General Surgery doctors and interns at Bikang Hospital when they heard Shen Qiang was going to perform the surgery.
In the latter half of the news.
It was a real investigative report.
From the cleaning staff to the female nurses.
From other interns to other Tumor Surgery doctors.
From patients' families to the patients themselves, it extended to the heads of General Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Neurosurgery.
Upon seeing that they all concurred that Shen Qiang was the best surgeon at Bikang Hospital and expressed regret that Bikang was too small to retain him, countless comments flooded the midday interview's online comment page instantly.
"Damn, so that's what it was, the director is so infuriating! If it were me, even if they begged me, I definitely wouldn't have done that surgery!"
"Exactly, it's absolutely outrageous!"
"Fire that director, what's the point of keeping such a director around?"
Beyond that, many others said.
"My God, I just watched the news on the provincial station, that director said Dr. Shen's skills were poor and he was temperamental, and he said it with such contempt!"
"666, this director is truly extraordinary, the ability to lie without blushing, really breathtaking."
"I'm upset now, I had criticized Dr. Shen as a scumbag earlier because of what this director said, and it turns out he's not the scumbag."
The countless message pop-ups instantly filled the video stream page.
It made the staff of the Urban Station's Frontline News cheer and jump with joy!
"We did it! Our ratings have now surpassed the provincial station!"
"Incredible, a news piece that was originally so ordinary, after the editor's handling, the ratings exploded!"
"Hahaha, that feels so good, now let's see who still dares to look down on our Frontline News!"
The people in the program team were cheering.
Meanwhile, the program was still airing.
At the end of the program, the person interviewed on camera turned out to be the cameraman who had gone to Bikang.
Sitting in a chair, he described with a nervous and trembling voice how, when he realized the surgery that director Wang couldn't complete in over two hours was done by Shen Qiang in just a few minutes.
After a moment of silence on the live stream page, the message pop-ups started furiously refreshing again.
"Holy crap, I was too caught up watching that director's despicable face before and missed this detail. Dr. Shen is amazing!"
"I'm a bit stunned, I don't really understand surgery, but previously the heads of Bikang's surgical departments all agreed that this Shen Qiang was the strongest surgeon. Comparing him with this director Wang, I suddenly feel that this Shen Qiang might truly be a 'Divine Level' surgeon."
"What do you mean 'might'? I study medicine, let me tell you, without going into details, just Shen Qiang's speed during surgery, by national standards, is top-tier. Forget ordinary doctors, even general surgical experts could only assist him at best."
"6666. This guy is awesome! No wonder he dared to make that rule about the 'three not to save'!"
The message pop-ups were crazy.
The comments were crazy too.
The midday interview was also coming to a close.
"As of the time of publication, Shen Qiang, a Tumor Surgery intern at Bikang Hospital, completed his second surgery of the day at 11:20 AM."
After the rolling captions had paused on the live broadcast screen for five seconds.
The midday interview program had ended.
Staring at the suddenly ended live broadcast screen.
All the viewers were stunned.
There were no insights, no morals, and no contemplation.
Nor was there any discussion of trust, morality, or humanity.
The entire midday interview had just ended like that.
After being silent for a good ten seconds or more, various comments suddenly erupted.
But what truly caught people's attention was the City Channel's morning news anchor, who was the first to apologize on his own social media.
"Doctor Shen, I want to apologize for my frivolity during the morning news, if my presumptiveness caused you any trouble, please allow me to say sorry here."
This apology was shared hundreds of times within just a few minutes.
Not only that.
Those who had published articles with harsh wording attacking Shen Qiang.
Also reacted quickly after the midday interview had ended.
"After watching the morning news, I, misguided, published 'The Most Capricious Doctor in History' because of my carelessness and preconceived notions leading to harsh wording. Here, I say sorry to Doctor Shen."
"In the hospital, the one who takes over the patient is responsible. The real person to attack is that Director. As the saying goes, 'in learning there are no firsts or lasts,' the teacher is the one who excels. Doctor Shen's medical skill is better than his, yet he spoke nonsense, so we should turn our guns around..."
The more professional commentators started using various methods to respond to the midday interview.
The sincere ones plainly admitted that they had been misled without much thought and conveniently shifted the blame onto the morning news.
The commentators who were being clever faced trouble.
Although they tried to divert the audience's attention to Director Wang, the audience was not so easily fooled.
"Didn't you say before that you've seen many like Doctor Shen? No abilities, yet he made a show. Now that he has ability and courage, why don't you continue to criticize him?"
"Exactly, his surgical abilities are widely recognized as the strongest. You criticized so much before, now not even a word of apology, you just want to shift the blame, that's not acceptable."
The internet, and the notion of 'no help for doctors,' was completely ignited by the City Channel's midday interview.
Numerous netizens and various commentators were having a field day arguing online.
Rising to notoriety was also the despicable Director Wang.
Only, compared to Shen Qiang, his situation was undoubtedly much worse.
Not only was he subject to all sorts of mockery like a storm, but as time passed, more scandals emerged such as accepting red packets, having interns buy lunch, taking advantage of patients' families, and underpaying after soliciting prostitutes.
As a result, Director Wang was like a small boat in the storm, at risk of capsizing at any moment.
City Channel.
In the editorial office of the Frontline News program, the editor-in-chief downed a shot of whiskey and excitedly looked at the ratings.
"Although we still don't know what the final outcome of this debate will be, it's undeniable that Shen Qiang has now become famous. Going forward, this 'no help for doctors' will undoubtedly be a focal point of the news in the short term."
Turning to look at the delighted female reporter, the editor-in-chief smiled and said, "So, the task I'm handing over to you is to continue digging into news about Shen Qiang, hmm, for half a month, handle it well."
