Chapter 516: Was Busy
Zheng Ren used less than an hour to finish the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction for the two patients.
He also completed it much faster than when he did it for Zheng Yunxia the first time.
He told Sister Zhao that there would be a bed for her neighbor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University if she needed it but did not push her to go there.
If he himself wanted to go then he would. Gao Shaojie’s skills were not bad either.
If he went to look for a certain godly doctor, Zheng Ren would probably have to say a few more words.
After saying goodbye to Sister Zhao, Zheng Ren thought about the surgery as he walked to the emergency ward.
Recently, there were more and more things to do. Zheng Ren felt that he constantly did not have enough time.
After entering the System library, he did not have time to read. This should not have been the case.
While walking, his cell phone rang.
Zheng Ren took it out and saw that it was Cui Heming. He immediately felt relieved.
“Old Cui.
“Oh okay, I’ll have to trouble you first then.
“You’re welcome. When will she arrive? I’ll go pick her up.
“Okay, take care of yourself. I’ll go over to the Capital in a few days’ time. See you then.”
After saying that, Zheng Ren hung up the phone.
Zheng Ren only had a vague idea of how to celebrate Xie Yiren’s birthday and what birthday present to prepare for her.
He would have to gather other people’s opinions on this matter.
Cui Heming was very enthusiastic. He would support Zheng Ren as long as he said something.
He called last night and confirmed the candidate at noon. He said that the plane would arrive at Sea City in the afternoon.
Zheng Ren thought about preparing a gift for Xie Yiren and still felt that it was inappropriate.
However, there were still a few days before the tenth of December, so he was not in a hurry.
When he returned to the ward, Zheng Ren received a series of calls.
One of them was from Chief Sun from the General Surgery Department. The patients who had undergone the TIPS surgery were in excellent condition and there were no signs of hepatic encephalopathy. He asked Zheng Ren when he could undergo the second-stage surgery.
There was also a call from the Secondary Hospital asking about the same thing.
There was also a call from the Vascular Surgery Department. Zheng Ren had almost forgotten about the patient whose pregnancy would cause her body to be in a state of hypercoagulability. She had been constantly monitored for some time. Now that she seemed to be in a better state, the abortion had also been done.
The Vascular Surgery Department still had to seek Zheng Ren’s opinion on when to remove the filter.
While pondering all these things, Zheng Ren became overwhelmed.
When he thought of going to work in the Capital in the future… Zheng Ren felt quite unwilling.
If he went to the Capital, would he not just be worked to death?
Zheng Ren replied to everyone one by one. Tomorrow, he would do an interventional embolization for liver cancer. After that, he would take out a recyclable stent during the second-stage TIPS surgery and on the same day itself, he would do another surgery to remove the filter.
The day after tomorrow, he would do Li Chen’s interventional embolization for liver cancer.
He was not in a rush for the Secondary Hospital’s second-stage surgery and would simply observe the patients for another day or two. He knew that it was important to make sure that everything was alright first before proceeding.
There were many things to do. There were also some important things to be done by Su Yun. Zheng Ren knew that if he were to participate in the publication of his thesis and establish a relationship with the judges… He would not be able to concentrate on performing surgery.
Like Xie Yiren, Zheng Ren had a kind of obsession with performing surgery.
The Nobel Prize was not as important to him.
Anyway, he was still young. If he were to kick the professor away, he would not feel any psychological pressure from doing so. However, he knew that it meant that persuading the judges about his thesis would probably need a couple more decades without him.
How many years did Tu Youyou wait before she had gotten it?
How many years did Mo Yan get it? Moreover, Mo Yan also took a very different path from most and had a good relationship with the Japanese literary world.
That was that. Zheng Ren could not care less.
Saving lives was more important than the Nobel Prize. That was what Zheng Ren thought.
Sitting in the office, Zheng Ren wanted to order a meal but had no appetite.
He found a sunny place and steadily sat down. He took a book and pretended to read it, but in reality, he went into the System’s Library to read various periodicals.
After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Ren heard someone call him.
“Chief Zheng, when’s the surgery? It’s time to do the water fasting.”
It was Zhong Min’s voice.
Uh… Zheng Ren felt so busy and confused. The patient with colonic diverticulum who was admitted early in the morning had to be operated on as soon as possible.
“How’s the patient’s family?” Zheng Ren asked.
When he watched the x-ray earlier, Zheng Ren could feel a strong sense of distrust from the patient’s family.
Therefore, he had to put such patients aside for now. If he hurried to get the surgery done, it would not be beneficial to him as any problems caused could turn into a major medical accident.
Zhong Min knew what Zheng Ren meant. She smiled and said, “At first, my family was a little reluctant. They were hesitant to go to the hospital to pay for the surgery. I was thinking of telling you to be cautious during the surgery. ”
“Oh? What happened after that?”
“I don’t know who my family called. When I came back, they asked me if you were Chief Zheng of Sea City General Hospital.”
Zheng Ren felt speechless. This title sounded like a bandit’s name.
This made him feel like a famous figure. He was Chief Zheng of Sea City General Hospital. It made him sound quite low-class.
“Have you been proactive lately?”
“Yes, quite a bit.” Zhong Min’s gaze toward Zheng Ren changed slightly. “Chief Zheng, you’re really amazing. Now, your reputation has spread far and wide.”
“It’s useless.” Zheng Ren waved his hand and said casually.
The mess in front of him was annoying even to just think about.
There was still a long way to go before the System mission was completed.
However, things had to be done one step at a time.
There was no such thing as rushing.
With a smile, Zhong Min said, “Chief Zheng, the surgery has been signed off already. If you’re preparing for it, you can take the list.”
“Okay.” Zheng Ren did some calculations. It seemed that there was nothing much to do. He could list out one thing after the other. There were still a bunch of surgeries tomorrow and the day after. The Secondary Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University were also still waiting for him to do his freelance surgery.
It seemed like he still needed to find a few helpers.
Zheng Ren was thinking about things as he gave Su Yun a call to tell him to come back for surgery as soon as possible.
Although it was an emergency surgery, there was a fundamental difference between that and the emergency treatment.
Emergency treatment was a race against time. However, there was not much difference between an hour earlier and an hour later for this type of emergency surgery.
Zheng Ren put his hands behind his back and leisurely went to take a look at the patient, waiting for Su Yun to rush over to send the patient off.
The patient was in severe pain and discomfort. He lay on the bed and complained to his family about how uncomfortable the stomach tube was.
When they saw Zheng Ren enter, the family members immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully. Their attitude was completely different from that morning.
“Don’t be nervous about the surgery later. There won’t be any problems,” Zheng Ren comforted the patient and said with a smile. “I’ll just be taking a short nap. I’ll be back when I wake up.”
“Dad, this is Chief Zheng that I told you about just now,” a man in either his forties or fifties said.
“Chief Zheng? He looks very young. Are you sure you’re not mistaken? ” The old man asked, slightly confused as he looked at Zheng Ren.
In front of Zheng Ren, the family began to criticize him. Zheng Ren also felt very helpless in this situation.
“Was this really the person that the professor in the Capital was mentioning?” The old man still refused to believe that was the case.
The more he said it, the more embarrassed his family became.
