Chapter 534: Afraid To Be Embarrassed

Since Chief Kong was here, he could not escape the situation.

Zheng Ren wanted to ignore it but Old Chief Physician Pan would not. When Zheng Ren received a call from Wang Qiang and was about to leave, Old Chief Physician Pan used the opportunity and said that he would treat Chief Kong to lunch.

Chief Kong did not reject it and nodded in agreement.

They had all been men from the army. What was wrong with eating a meal with an old squad leader? Although Old Chief Physician Pan’s squad was far from Chief Kong’s back then, there was a kind of faint camaraderie that existed despite the fact that they were not actually that close either.

Zheng Ren had a headache. At noon... He did not know how much he would have to drink.

He still remembered that not long ago, Chang Yue and Su Yun had defeated the two waiters that China Changfeng Microinvasive Surgery had invited. Old Chief Physician Pan said happily that they were indeed worthy of being his soldiers.

Old Chief Physician Pan kept sending them out. After another confirmation, Zheng Ren and Chief Kong returned to the emergency ward.

“Little Zheng, I heard that you’ve developed a new surgical method for TIPS surgery?” Chief Kong asked.

“Chief Kong, it’s not a new surgical method. It uses magnetic diffusion to make a diagnosis and determine the puncture location so that the surgeon can avoid doing it blindly,” Zheng Ren replied politely.

“Is the success rate of doing it with just one needle quite high?”

“Yes... The failure rate is quite low. There haven’t been any mishaps till now,” Zheng Ren replied after pondering about it for a while.

Chief Kong had previously contacted Su Yun through Zhao Yunlong and the others since they knew that Zheng Ren was doing TIPS surgery in Sea City. He had some understanding of the research process.

However, Su Yun’s words had been vague then, his replies more like jokes.

Chief Kong was like looking at flowers in the fog when he heard about Zheng Ren’s progress.

When he heard about the new progress of the TIPS surgery from Zheng Ren today, Chief Kong was stunned at first before sighing.

Young people nowadays were really amazing. A few months ago, they did not even have the qualifications to go to the Capital to participate in the selection. If not for the insistence of Professor Pei Yingjie from Shanghai, Zheng Ren would still be holed up in Sea City.

But how long had it been? A month? Two months?

Not only had he figured out how to do a prostate interventional embolization, but there was now even a new surgical method for TIPS surgery.

Chief Kong’s thoughts of cherishing talents were great, and he was secretly glad.

Fortunately, Zheng Ren had Su Yun by his side. Su Yun was very familiar with the middle-level chief residents of all the Class Three Grade-A hospitals in Imperial City, so it was convenient for him to ask for information.

Based on the usual procedure, he would become a candidate for the Nobel Prize in medicine after a year and a half of waiting. If he were to raise another condition, it would not be as simple as going to the Capital to be a professor under him.

On the issue of who would be sent from their hospital to Sea City, Fang Lin could not hold back the decision even if he wanted to.

If it were not for Professor Gu from the cardiothoracic department scolding him and telling him to recuperate properly, he would have already tried to fly the kid over.

No matter how tight the manpower was, it was still easy to transfer three to five PhD students. It would just be a temporary exchange. Even if dozens of PhD students replaced Zheng Ren alone, they would still be the ones at an advantage.

Chief Kong fell silent, his mind constantly calculating.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that Zheng Ren had to be dragged away as soon as possible. The longer he stayed in Sea City, the more uncertain his future would be.

When he arrived at the emergency ward, Wang Qiang was standing in the corridor and holding a bunch of scans in his hands.

Zheng Ren was stunned when he saw Gao Shaojie there as well.

‘Teacher Gao is too enthusiastic,’ Zheng Ren thought to himself.

“Teacher Gao, why are you here?” Zheng Ren went up to him with a smile.

“Teacher Zheng... Please don’t call me Teacher Gao. It makes me blush.” Gao Shaojie reached out his hand and shook Zheng Ren’s. He said politely, “Call Me Old Gao instead.”

“That would simply be impolite of me to do so.” Zheng Ren smiled. “Why are you here?”

“After I went back, I studied the film and what you taught me. I have now gotten more experience and want to learn through your surgeries of patients in Sea City to polish up this knowledge,” Gao Shaojie said.

“Thanks.” Zheng Ren nodded. “By the way, let me introduce you.”

“This is Chief Kong from the interventional medicine department at a hospital in the Imperial Capital. This is Professor Gao Shaojie from the interventional medicine department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University.” Zheng Ren introduced them to each other.

“Hello, Chief Kong,” Gao Shaojie said courteously. However, he did not have the admiration that Zheng Ren had when he spoke to him.

“Hello.” Chief Kong was also somewhat aloof.

Their greetings were warm, but the feeling they gave off was as if they were a thousand miles away from each other.

“Let’s go and see the scans.” Zheng Ren did not want to waste any more time with pleasantries. He took the scans from Wang Qiang and strode into the office.

“Chief Kong, do you want to look at the TIPS surgery first, or at Lil Fugui... Professor Rudolf Wagner’s post-prostatectomy patient?” Zheng Ren asked Chief Kong.

“Let’s look at the TIPS surgery. After that, we’ll look at the professor’s patient,” Chief Kong said. “Does the professor have a Chinese name?”

“Yes, the others gave it to him while fooling around.” Zheng Ren smiled bitterly.

Chief Kong nodded with a smile. Lil Fugui did indeed sound like a name that had come out of the Republic of China from the 1920s to the 1930s.

This time, Wang Qiang had been the one to select the patients who were suitable for the TIPS surgery. There were only four patients.

Not all patients with stubborn ascites and late-stage cirrhosis were suitable for TIPS surgery. There would still be indications regardless of surgery, it just depended on whether the patient’s condition allowed it or not.

There was a patient whose liver function was not too good. Wang Qiang was a little hesitant at first, so he asked Gao Shaojie for his opinion.

Gao Shaojie denied surgery without any hesitation.

No matter how good Zheng Ren’s surgery was, the odds did not look good. It would be weird if nothing happened to a patient who was close to liver failure after the surgery was performed.

Zheng Ren did not know this. He counted and saw that there were only four patients’ scans. He guessed in his heart about that possibility occurring.

However, he did not care. He took a patient’s medical history brief from their scan bag and began to familiarize himself with the patient’s situation.

When Su Yun saw that Chief Kong had arrived, he quickly stood up and greeted him.

“Su Yun, are you familiar with Zheng Ren’s set of procedures?” Chief Kong asked when he saw that Zheng Ren was looking at the information.

“Fortunately, the first surgery was done by Boss and me in the emergency department. We succeeded after four punctures. The boss might have felt that there was a problem with that, so he began to study more about it. It was also around then that Lil Fugui and Boss had discussed it in-depth for some time.” Su Yun briefly explained to him what Zheng Ren had done during his research and refinement process.

Chief Kong was silent.

According to Su Yun, Zheng Ren had just started studying TIPS surgery not long ago and had become so skilled at it just like that?

“Chief Kong, there’s something I have to say. Please don’t be upset with it.” Su Yun did not have any intention of mocking him. His expression was serious.

“Hmm?”

“The diagnostic method that the boss has researched is similar to the operating principle of a nuclear magnetic machine. It also requires brain reconstruction...” When Su Yun said this, he intentionally paused for a moment, letting his sentence hang just like that.

As an adult, pausing mid-sentence was sometimes important.

It was not that Su Yun did not understand. It was just that he did not need to hand out all the knowledge he had to people who were similar to him in terms of status in the Capital.

They were just a bunch of ants. Did he even need to tell them so much? That was what Su Yun thought. Chief Kong was a different situation entirely.

“Kid, are you afraid that I won’t be able to face the consequences?” Chief Kong laughed.

Su Yun’s expression was serious as he nodded.

Chief Kong was stunned.
