Chapter 861: The Devil in the Details
As they chatted, the dishes were quickly served.
The first impression these dishes gave people was that they were big.
The plates were extremely big. Mu Tao felt that a plate of the dishes could fill four people.
He originally thought that four servings would not be enough, but he did not expect it to be such a big plate. This point was fundamentally different from Cantonese cuisine.
When the dishes were served, there was basically no room for more on the small table. Even the cup and the plate could barely squeeze into a small corner.
The appearance of the buns were golden. After one bite, it was sour, sweet, crisp, fragrant and tender. All kinds of flavors reverberated at the tip of Mu Tao’s tongue, causing him great amazement.
This taste was much better than the taste of the buns he had eaten before.
Although the northeast cuisine was similar to Sichuan cuisine, with heavy oil, heavy salt, and taste, it was not very similar to Mu Tao’s preference. However, it did not affect him from having a meal. He still enjoyed it very much.
Zheng Ren also rarely ate such authentic meat.
There was an old saying in the northeast that meat cooked this was was the most delicious dish, just like the TIPS surgery that Zheng Ren performed.
Knowing how to do it was absolutely not enough. Not only did he have to know how to do it, but he also had to do it well. That was very difficult.
The meal was delicious and sweet.
Because Xie Yiren and Chang Yue were not around, Zheng Ren and Su Yun did not talk much. Soon, they finished eating and rushed back to the hospital.
Chief Luo called Zheng Ren. Professor Yang left a message on Zheng Ren’s WeChat. He said that the patient had been admitted and that he had time to come and take a look.
This time, the patients came with the radiographic films. If everything went smoothly, the surgery could be carried out tomorrow.
In addition, the patients from the Interventional Department could be discharged from the hospital one after another tomorrow. It seemed that the surgeries could be carried out continuously.
Zheng Ren was very happy about this. This was the first time that the surgery was broadcasted live. After the first successful start, they had to add fuel to the fire in order to make the fire burn even more fiercely.
There were still three to four months left. There were more than two thousand surgeries. At least dozens of successful doctors would be required to complete them.
‘Let’s just do it for now. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have a good talk with Dr. Mehar when he comes to China to perform the surgery.’
When he thought of this, Zheng Ren suddenly smiled.
He had not realized these things before, but Su Yun said that he was shrewd.
Now, he seemed to be able to see the meaning behind it.
He returned to the Interventional Department and looked at the patients after the surgery. Then, he looked at the blood ammonia value that he had just reported. Everything was very stable. The patients would probably be discharged the next day or two.
Su Yun and Rudolf Wagner stayed behind to sort out the information about the morning’s TIPS surgery. Zheng Ren brought Chang Yue to look at the five new patients.
It was a meticulous task to communicate with the patients’ families.
Zheng Ren could also do this task, but it was Chang Yue’s job? Zheng Ren could only be lazy.
It was noon. Chief Luo of the Department of Digestive Internal Medicine was taking a lunch break. Zheng Ren did not disturb him. He contacted the chief resident of the Department of Digestive Medicine and began to look at the patients.
Chief Luo accepted three patients. In order to make Chang Yue’s job easier, Zheng Ren asked the family members of the patients to come to the doctor’s office one by one while he looked at the radiographic films to explain the origin of the disease and what kind of surgery they were going to perform.
Zheng Ren even drew a map of the local anatomy according to the different conditions of each patient and explained it in detail to the family members of the patients.
Mu Tao was stunned by what he saw.
Generally speaking, it was a long-term specialization for surgeons to draw a simple map and explain the local anatomy.
However, the map drawn by Boss Zheng could be said to be a work of art.
It was detailed and appropriate. The few veins were as clear as if they had just been dissected from cadavers.
The TIPS surgery that had to be done, from the approach to the puncture and the lower stent, also appeared in front of the family members of the patients in a short period of time.
Moreover, each patient had a different condition. The pictures that Zheng Ren drew had slight differences.
The patient’s family members likely did not know, but after Mu Tao watched Zheng Ren communicate with the patient’s family members, his understanding of the TIPS surgery seemed to reach a new breakthrough.
‘Judging the puncture point based on the different anatomical structures from those boring pictures…and so on…’ As Mu Tao thought about it, he suddenly wondered how Zheng Ren drew the anatomical relationship between the portal vein and the liver vein that was to be punctured.
Looking at the hand-drawn picture, Mu Tao seemed to be looking at how Zheng Ren analyzed the puncture point of the TIPS surgery before the surgery through the complicated space folding.
The Devil was usually in the details.
However, just communicating with the patient’s family hid a shocking secret. This was something Mu Tao had not thought of before.
Boss Zheng did not seem to have any intention of hiding such things. He openly communicated with the patient’s family in front of him.
This level of doctor-patient counselling was already at the godly level. It was only the simplest clinical work, but Mu Tao knew that he could not do it.
After Zheng Ren finished explaining to the first patient’s family, Mu Tao suddenly said, “Boss Zheng, can I keep the drawing you drew?”
Zheng Ren was slightly stunned, but he understood Mu Tao’s meaning.
A few thoughts appeared in Zheng Ren’s mind, and they sounded like thunder.
The originally pitch-black train of thought, which was like the night, directly blasted out with a few flashes of light.
Zheng Ren had been thinking about how to explain it so that the nuclear magnetic dispersion would be smoothly accepted by most people. This was a very difficult thing. Zheng Ren thought for many days on and off, but he still could not come up with a solution.
At this moment, Mu Tao’s intention gave Zheng Ren a brand new idea.
It was really dark under the lamp. Zheng Ren immediately laughed at himself happily.
Mu Tao did not understand. Looking at Zheng Ren’s smile, he became more and more unfathomable. It was like a dream since childhood to meet an old immortal with a white beard and teach him immortal techniques… When he learned a certain trick, the old immortal would look at him with a smile.
However, the old immortal looked a little too young.
The patient’s family had already understood. Initially, they did not take this piece of paper seriously. However, when they heard that Mu Tao wanted to keep it, the patient’s daughter held onto the piece of paper and refused to let go.
To them, this was just a piece of waste paper. However, at this moment, it was like a rare treasure.
Someone snatching it and no one snatching it held two completely different meanings.
“Let me draw another one for you.” Zheng Ren was also very helpless. However, once he had an idea and drew another one, the key points that could be shown would be clearer.
Mu Tao was silent as he nodded.
Zheng Ren introduced Chang Yue to the patient’s family. Chang Yue would communicate with them about everything that happened before the operation. Only then did he let the patient’s family leave.
After that, should he draw a picture?
Zheng Ren recalled the radiographic films. Three-dimensional anatomical drawings appeared, shattered, reconstructed, and then shattered in his mind. In the end, they became countless primitive data streams.
Seeing that Zheng Ren was deep in thought, Mu Tao did not disturb him. Instead, he recalled the entire diagnostic process.
The office fell into a dead silence.
Chang Yue looked at Zheng Ren and Mu Tao. She did not know what they were doing, but she did not disturb them either. Instead, she waited quietly.
Time flew by. After more than ten minutes of silence, Zheng Ren suddenly moved!
