Chapter 786: Analyzed it From the Worst Point of View
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I see,” Professor Yang whispered as he looked at the radiographic films.
Zheng Ren did not explain this matter through the use of radiographic films. Instead, he proposed the changes after the interventional embolization.
Professor Yang expressed great kindness to him. Of course, Zheng Ren would not show off his skills in front of the patient’s family. He used a more ingenious method to prove that the liver area was occupied by the spleen and not the tumor.
In this way, Professor Yang would think that it was normal for him not to know since he was not an interventional doctor.
Zheng Ren’s explanation made both sides happy, as he could save Professor Yang’s face and achieve his goal.
Moreover, it was not that Professor Yang did not see it. If he really did not see it, he would not have looked to him to analyze the film.
In the case that the patient received the right treatment, Zheng Ren did not mind making Professor Yang feel better.
In fact, the way Zheng Ren came to this conclusion was based on CT, nuclear MRI, and reconstruction. It was the reverse of what Professor Yang said, but there was no need to tell Professor Yang about this.
“Chief Zheng, are you interested in the surgery?” Professor Yang asked.
“No, no.” Zheng Ren waved his hand repeatedly and said, “I still have a lot of things to do here. There aren’t many beds, and the number of TIPS surgeries can’t go up. The hospital has to pay a visit to all aspects.”
Professor Yang was just being polite, or he was just curious about Zheng Ren’s standard in the General Surgery Department.
If Zheng Ren was really required to perform ordinary slow-motion surgeries, would the General Surgery Department lose face?
Professor Yang saw that Zheng Ren was troubled, so he smiled.
The problem with the beds… The slow-motion surgeries in the General Surgery Department were already scheduled for two months later. He did not have the right to say that he could give Zheng Ren two beds.
After putting away the radiographic films, Professor Yang handed the bag of radiographic films to the patient’s family and said, “Bring your wife to the hospital. Just look for me when you arrive.”
“Professor Yang, is it benign?” The patient’s spouse still could not believe it.
“Hmm? Didn’t I say it was a spleen?” After Professor Yang said that, he greeted Zheng Ren and turned around to leave the office.
The patient’s spouse stood in the doctor’s office, dazed. It was really hard to believe that the junior doctor in front of him was actually an amazing person.
He hesitated for a moment and smiled. He came to Zheng Ren’s side and asked carefully, “Professor Zheng, can you tell me about spleen planting?”
Zheng Ren was about to change his clothes and ask Xie Yiren to go home when he was stopped by the patient’s family.
Although it took some time, Zheng Ren did not think much of it.
“It’s like this. After a normal splenectomy, when the dorsal membrane is intact, the accessory spleen may compensate a part of the spleen’s function, resulting in an enlargement of the spleen. This is a good thing.
“But your lover’s situation is different.
“The rupture of the spleen was caused by a car accident. Considering the situation at the time, it’s possible that some spleen tissue fell onto the surface of the liver.”
As Zheng Ren spoke, a seed fell into the soil in the patient’s family’s mind. Then, it passed through autumn and winter, waiting for spring to take root and sprout.
“The spleen’s regenerative ability is a little weaker than the liver, but it’s also very strong. Take an example…” Zheng Ren muttered. “I have a patient. After the hepatectomy for liver cancer, the caudal lobe of the liver multiplied several times after two years. It has basically replaced the function of the left lobe of the liver that has been removed.
“There are similar cases of spleen regeneration in academia.
“Some people say that the probability of regeneration is as high as sixty-six per cent. I have reservations on this point.
“But the probability of regeneration still exists, and the probability is not small.
“Your partner’s illness is caused by the regeneration of the spleen.
“Don’t be nervous. We just need to do a surgery. It’s a small matter.”
The patient’s family was sweating profusely. A surgery was still a small matter? Was that how doctors advised people?
“Professor Zheng, are you sure? To be honest, I have been to many places and have been diagnosed with liver cancer.” The patient’s family had countless questions to ask. Seeing that Zheng Ren was easy to talk to, he asked a few more questions.
His heart was perturbed. If he was spoken, it would alleviate some of his anxiety.
“I can’t be a hundred per cent sure, but from the perspective of imaging, it is indeed a change in the imaging of the spleen, not a tumor. Don’t worry, it will be clear once it is removed and the pathology is done.” Zheng Ren smiled. He understood the patient’s family’s thoughts too well.
Seeing that the patient’s family was still unwilling to leave, Zheng Ren pondered for a moment before he said.
“It’s like this. Liver cancer is known as the king of cancer. There are no first- or second-line chemotherapy drugs for the right symptoms. Before using targeted drugs, there are two main treatment methods for liver cancer: surgical resection and interventional embolization.”
This sentence hit the heart of the patient’s family.
“Your lover has already accepted interventional surgery, but the facts have proven that the effect is not ideal. So, the only choice is surgical resection. I think the focus is more limited, so the probability of successful surgical resection is higher.”
The patient’s family nodded repeatedly, but for a moment, he was lost.
Why did he talk about liver cancer?
“Professor Zheng, is it liver cancer? Why are you telling me about liver cancer?” he quickly interrupted Zheng Ren and asked.
“The probability is not high, but aren’t you worried?” Zheng Ren looked into his eyes and said very seriously. “Then let’s analyze it from the worst angle. If that’s the case, you might be able to accept it in your heart very quickly.”
‘Uh…’ The patient’s family was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled bitterly.
That was indeed the case.
This Professor Zheng had said many times that it was not cancer, but happiness came too suddenly, and he could not accept it.
Still, from the worst angle, it seemed to be better.
“Now, whether it is or not, resection is the best choice. So, I suggest you take the time to bring your wife to imperial capital, and then find Professor Yang to get admitted to the hospital.
“Right now, he is more interested in your wife’s illness. There is no need to queue up.” Zheng Ren tried to reason with him. With a few words, the patient’s spouse nodded his head repeatedly.
These words were true.
…
Yang Lei walked out of the intervention doctor’s office. He was also a little tired. He had an all-night surgery. After he left the stage, he even went to the ICU to look after the patient for half a day. At noon, he had four consecutive surgeries.
His body was a little overwhelmed.
He first went to the ICU to take a look, then he went home to rest. After the surgery, the patient was handed over to Dong Jia to handle. He was still relatively at ease.
He was calculating in his heart when he bumped into Professor Zhao.
“Old Zhao, I’m busy!” Although Professor Yang was very tired, he still greeted him warmly.
“Why are you here?” After Professor Zhao went to the ICU in the morning, he was a little depressed the whole day.
“There is a patient whose diagnosis is not clear. I came to ask Chief Zheng for help.” Professor Yang was not in the mood to guess the intrigue of other departments. These things had nothing to do with him.
“…” Professor Zhao was speechless. Looking at Professor Yang, he had already guessed the ending.
This Chief Zheng really could not be held back.
Could this be the posture of a fierce dragon crossing the river?
