The Surgeon's Studio c1-799

by Black Ursa Prime

  The young man was stunned for nearly a minute, his eyes void of emotions.

  Zheng Ren looked at him and felt bad. He wanted to persuade the young man but did not know where to start.

  After a minute of silence, the young man suddenly put his canvas bag in front of him and took some money out.

  "Doctor, this is money my parents left me after they passed away," he said as he wept. His tears fell onto the crisp notes. "My uncle had a tough life. My cousin gambled and ran away after owing hundreds of thousands of dollars. My aunt divorced him a few months ago and he recently found out he has liver cancer. I have money here and this is all of it. Doctor, please save him. My uncle raised me and has never had an easy life."

  The money was not that much, just tens of thousands. However, this was all the young man's savings. It was his college tuition, what he was relying on for his future.

  Now, he had taken it all out and placed it in front of Zheng Ren.

  The bright red was so eye-catching.

  "Doctor, I've done my own research. I also know that there is no cure after one sip." The young man looked at Zheng Ren with tears in his eyes. His voice was choked with sobs. "But that information was from a few years ago. Is there any medicine that can treat it with now? "

  Looking at the young man's hopeful eyes, Zheng Ren knew that he was trying to find hope in all the despair he was facing right now.

  How should he say it?

  He could not.

  Zheng Ren's eyes dimmed as he shook his head gently.

  In the young man's heart, the glimmer of hope that had just risen was extinguished as expected.

  "I knew it... I knew it..." the young man lowered his head and muttered.

  "There are still a few more days. You have to accompany your grandfather well," Zheng Ren said softly.

  The young man was silent. His eyes were fixed on the yellowish wall.

  "Young man, you're still young. There are some things that you should do your best and leave to fate. You've tried your best but there's nothing you can do." Zheng Ren could only try his best to calm the young man's emotions.

  There were a few patients outside who wanted to come in. However, they saw the young man standing in the consultation room looking like a zombie. When they saw the wads of red banknotes on the table, they knew that something must have happened. Under persuasion from Fan Tianshui and the others... They could either sit outside and wait, or they could go to the surgical consultation room to see the patient first.

  Zheng Ren patted the young man on the shoulder. After listening to his comforting words for a long time, the young man finally regained his strength.

  He let out a loud cry as he broke down.

  It was only then that Zheng Ren felt relieved.

  Being able to cry out meant that he was fine. He was afraid that he would not be able to cry out, just like the family members of the patients who were stabbed in the heart at night.

  Zheng Ren let out a long breath. Although he was a little disappointed, he had seen it many times, so he was more or less indifferent.

  He put the wads of money on the table back into the young man's canvas schoolbag and zipped it up.

  Indifference was also a form of self-protection.

  In the hospital, there were patients who had passed away on the hospital beds every day. If he was not more indifferent, the doctors themselves would be hospitalized.

  After sending the young man out, Su Yun had already pumped out the patient's stomach.

  The patient sat quietly on the chair. There was no joy, anger, sadness, sorrow, or fear. He had long seen through everything.

  Seeing the young man come out, the patient stood up and smiled at him. He then bowed to Su Yun and Zheng Ren and dragged the young man out of the hospital.

  "Let's go." Su Yun saw Zheng Ren's blank expression and dragged him out through the side entrance.

  At times like this, he needed a cigarette to sober up.

  Su Yun rarely smoked but this time, he took out Zi Yun's box from Zheng Ren's pocket. The muscles on his face twitched as if he wanted to jest with Zheng Ren, but he held it back in the end.

  He lit a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Ren.

  "Life and death. There's nothing else," Su Yun said.

  "Okay." Zheng Ren took a deep puff of the cigarette. The smoke swirled in his lungs and only after he exhaled did he feel a little more alive.

  This was not the first patient Zheng Ren had encountered who drank paraquat, nor was it the most tragic case.

  Many years ago, when Zheng Ren was interning at university, he had encountered a case of drinking paraquat in the emergency department.

  The couple had just gotten married not long ago, and they started quarreling over a trivial matter. The woman pretended to take a sip of paraquat in order to scare him.

  The man did not know how powerful paraquat was. He snatched it and said, "Let's die together then." He took a big sip from the bottle.

  After that, the two people who drank the pesticide were moved by each other's actions and made up.

  What should they do after drinking the pesticide? They could go to the hospital and have their stomachs pumped. It was not a big deal.

  After they arrived at the hospital, Zheng Ren's teacher and the patient's mother explained their complications after the gastric lavage. They said that if they drank paraquat, they would definitely die.

  If their family had money, they could go to the ICU and use a ventilator to help them breathe. It might be able to extend their lives by about three months. However, that was a huge expense, so whether they could continue the treatment or not depended on their family's conditions.

  The patient's mother cried then. After the patient came to ask about the situation, she scolded Zheng Ren's teacher.

  Everything had been spent on gastric lavage but they still needed to spend more money. The hospitals and doctors nowadays were really evil.

  Zheng Ren could not remember most of what had been said.

  After that, the couple who drank the pesticide left the hospital.

  When they left, the two of them were loving each other. However, the medical staff present knew that their days were not long.

  Half a month later, the two of them were sent over again.

  As the man drank more paraquat than the woman, his condition was particularly bad. He was already showing signs of respiratory failure. Although the woman was in a better condition, she was not much better off.

  A blue curtain was drawn in the emergency room. The two of them lay on their respective beds to receive resuscitation.

  It was still Zheng Ren's teacher and the patient's mother who explained the patients' condition. From the very beginning, their final fate had already been determined. The doctor was especially helpless.

  In the end, Zheng Ren's teacher advised the family not to resuscitate the patients.

  It was already determined. No matter what they did, it was meaningless.

  At this moment, the couple seemed to have realized their own fate.

  At the last moment of a man's life, he used all his strength to extend his hand to the woman's side. However, the simplest actions usually appeared to be extremely difficult in the moment.

  He did not manage to hold the woman's hand in the end.

  When he was halfway there, he took his last breath.

  Although the woman's condition was slightly better, it was not by much.

  At this moment, she had also walked the last moments of her life.

  She used the last of her strength to hold the man's hand.

  Between her fingers, she passed through the blue curtain and touched her fingers with his. It was then that she passed away.

  Zheng Ren remembered this scene very clearly.

  Life was filled with all kinds of helplessness.

  However, the pair of fingers that were placed together in the end were still fresh in Zheng Ren's mind.

  He sighed and sorted out his emotions.

  People still had to look forward.

  After putting out the cigarette, Zheng Ren glanced at Su Yun and asked, "The professor and Gao..."

  "Gao Shaojie." Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren disdainfully. "They are all sitting in the office. Let me tell you, you have to seize the right moment to kick out Chief Gao of the First Affiliated Hospital. Chang Yueke has already given her opinion about this."

  "Huh? What opinion?"

  "There are too many people in the office. She can't stand it."

  F*ck... This was definitely a valid reason.

  "The main reason is that Teacher Gao has been using the hospital's wifi to watch videos and has been using our bandwidth. Even when I play my games in the afternoon, I have to be on offline mode."

  Zheng Ren was speechless.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-surgeon's-studio_16489637605120805/forced-to-give-up_49977381464628755 for visiting.

  However, Zheng Ren immediately remembered the mission's third phase which involved 100 TIPS surgeries.

  Haicheng's population is small, and its number of radiation cases eve smaller.

  In the end, it would all depend on Teacher Gao.

  "Then you can cover for me for a while," Zheng Ren said.

  "Go, go." Su Yun put out the cigarette and stuffed the lighter into the cigarette box. He handed it to Zheng Ren and said, "Boss, no matter what, you're someone who's skilled in performing TIPS surgery. Isn't it embarrassing to smoke purple clouds?"

  "Tell me, if I go and receive the Nobel Prize in the future and everyone else is smoking cigars, wouldn't it be especially cool if I smoke purple clouds?" Zheng Ren smiled and turned to leave.

  That...weird scene appeared in Su Yun's mind.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-surgeon's-studio_16489637605120805/free-freelance-surgery_49977382555144695 for visiting.

  However, it was indeed like what Zheng Ren said. It would be really cool.

  To be cool was essentially to use the contrast to increase one's charm. But it was best to be really good at it because everyone was watching. The operating table was both a place for one to be cool or make a fool of oneself.

  The key was that the boss was really f*cking good at it.

  This guy... Su Yun shook his head. The black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind.

  ...

  Zheng Ren returned to the emergency ward's office. The professor had already left. He was not waiting for Zheng Ren like Su Yun had said.

  Gao Shaojie was sitting at the desk in the corner with a notebook in his hand. He was working so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep. Wang Qiang sat behind Gao Shaojie with a dumbfounded look on his face. He was already tired.

  "Teacher Gao, are you busy? If you have any problems, let's talk quickly. You've been waiting for me to go on duty." Zheng Ren entered the room and greeted him first.

  He was extremely busy today and could not be bothered to be reserved. He rarely played around but he was usually not as direct as today.

  Gao Shaojie was studying the magnetic resonance imaging. He was so engrossed that he forgot where he was.

  When he heard someone call him, he did not have time to listen to the rest of the words before he raised his head with an unhappy expression.

  However, the moment he saw Zheng Ren, he was in a trance for a moment before immediately standing up.

  The movement was so intense that Gao Shaojie did not even realize his chair had bumped into Wang Qiang behind him.

  "Chief Zheng, you are back." Gao Shaojie's words were filled with endless surprise.

  "Yes." Zheng Ren nodded and walked over to the other computer. He turned on the screen and then opened the video workstation to find Lin Peisen's liver diffusion-weighted MRI.

  "What do you not understand? Tell me," Zheng Ren said.

  Wang Qiang stood in the corner behind him and gently rubbed his wrist that had been hit. His expression showed the pain he felt.

  Wang Qiang knew that Gao Shaojie was studying diffusion-weighted MRI.

  Wang Qiang was also a trained student. How could he not understand diffusion-weighted MRI. However, he had no idea how to use the diffuser image to determine the relationship between the liver and portal vein.

  He was a little dissatisfied with Zheng Ren's attitude but could not complain.

  No matter how young he was, he was only a Chief Resident. He was still a young man who knew how to perform TIPS surgery. He was also a Chief Resident who knew how to perform TIPS surgery.

  In a thousand words, it did not matter how he acted as long as he knew how to perform TIPS surgery...

  Wang Qiang sighed in his heart. Looking at Teacher Gao being so humble, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

  Teacher Gao was very proud. Normally, one would not be able to tell when they first met him.

  But after a long time, one would know that it was not arrogance, it was pride.

  And now, his iron-like bones had turned into soft silk.

  Gao Shaojie bent down and stood beside Zheng Ren. He stared at the screen. In his right hand, he held a piece of paper. The paper was filled with things that he needed to consult Zheng Ren about.

  Wang Qiang was highly suspicious. Given Gao Shaojie's age, if this posture continued for an hour, he would be hospitalized with a protruding disc.

  He wanted to listen carefully to what Zheng Ren and Teacher Gao were talking about, but it was full of professional terms in the field of nuclear magnetism. Wang Qiang even suspected that even Philips' engineers could not understand what Zheng Ren and Teacher Gao were talking about.

  It was just an operation. Was there a need to study it so deeply?

  He silently looked at Gao Shaojie. From this angle, he could only see half of his face. The image on the screen kept changing, and the light reflected on Gao Shaojie's face kept changing.

  So serious, so determined.

  He had to grit his teeth and persevere. He must not give up such a good opportunity like Cheng Lixue, that coward.

  Wang Qiang encouraged himself in his heart.

  Even if he did not understand, he had to serve him tea and water. Teacher Gao had learned how to do so, so he had to teach him a little bit more. Wang Qiang believed that Gao Shaojie would not hide anything from him.

  It was not because he was special, but because he had accompanied him throughout the entire process of learning TIPS.

  Thinking of this, Wang Qiang's expression softened.

  What stupid annual meeting? Even teacher Gao's attitude was so humble. He was like a student, earnestly seeking advice. Why did he have to hold on?

  Time passed bit by bit. The confusion on Gao Shaojie's face became less and less as his excitement continued to grow.

  Half an hour passed...

  Followed by another hour...

  "That's it." Finally, Zheng Ren spoke up. "Teacher Gao, you can refer to Lin Peisen's film. The surgical approach tomorrow will be using it as a reference."

  "Yes, yes," Gao Shaojie repeatedly acknowledged.

  "Then I'll go to the emergency department since I'm on duty. You should go back and rest early. The surgery will start early tomorrow," Zheng Ren said.

  It was only then that Gao Shaojie straightened his back, and the sound of his lumbar vertebrae cracking could be heard.

  Shit... How could he forget about his old waist.

  Wang Qiang hurriedly supported Gao Shaojie so that he would not fall.

  "Director Zheng, I'll think about it when I get back. I think I'll have to trouble you with something I don't understand tomorrow," Gao Shaojie said respectfully with one hand on his waist.

  "There's no trouble at all." Zheng Ren glanced at Gao Shaojie and asked,
"Are there many patients who need TIPS surgery in the Provincial Capital?"

  Gao Shaojie was still thinking about how to invite Zheng Ren.

  He did not expect Zheng Ren to ask him about this.

  He could not miss this opportunity. Gao Shaojie endured the pain in his back and quickly said, "Chief Zheng, there are about three hundred cases a year. There will definitely be some more at times. But..."

  "Huh?" Zheng Ren stared at Gao Shaojie. "But what?"

  Unknowingly, Zheng Ren's tone and aura had already taken on the air of an old-school big shot.

  Gao Shaojie quickly said, "Chief Zheng, I really hope to invite you to the Provincial Capital to conduct TIPS surgery. However, there might be a small problem with the fees."

  Zheng Ren was already well off and had no concept of money. All he thought about was how to complete the task given by the System.

  Seeing Zheng Ren looking at him expressionlessly, Gao Shaojie felt a little guilty.

  "Chief Zheng, as you know, if I were to tell the patients in the Provincial Capital to ask the professors from Haicheng to perform the surgery... I don't think there would be anyone left," Gao Shaojie told the truth. "But regarding the fees, all surgical fees will be handed to you. I can also make sure that all the equipment within the hospital is top-notch."

  "There's no need." Zheng Ren shook his head and smiled. "There's no need for money. You just need to prepare the patients. Prepare ten at a time. I'll be there immediately. However, the sooner the better."

  With that, Zheng Ren turned around and left. "Teacher Gao, go back and rest well. I'm on duty in the emergency department."

  Gao Shaojie was stunned.

  What else could he ask for besides money to do freelance surgeries?

  Chief Zheng even asked for a time. Could it be that he wanted to do some huge scientific research and was lacking patients?

  Gao Shaojie instantly understood what was going on.

  Chapter 443 - Here Comes The Father-In-Law

  Before Zheng Ren walked out of the corridor, he saw Xie Yiren.

  "Uh..." Zheng Ren was very busy today and forgot to call Xie Yiren.

  "I finally found you." Xie Yiren smiled. "I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to pick up the phone when you were on house call, so I went straight to the emergency department. Su Yun told me that you came back to talk to Teacher Gao about the film so I decided to look for you now."
