The Surgeon's Studio c1-799

by Black Ursa Prime

  There was Zhong Min's signature and time stamp on it. Zheng Ren did not have the time to sign it. Usually, the higher-level doctors would only sign it before they were discharged. Otherwise, it would waste a lot of time just to sign forms every day.

  However, there was no patient's signature or consent to the surgery on this pre-operation statement!

  Zheng Ren frowned and flipped through it again and again. He could vaguely see scratches on the paper with a hard pen, but there was no handwriting.

  He took the pre-operation statement and held it underneath the sunlight to read it.

  This time, he could clearly see the consent for surgery and the patient's family members' dragon-like signatures.

  There was a problem with the pen!

  Zheng Ren instantly realized what had happened.

  "Chief Zheng..." Zhong Min was timid and almost scared to tears.

  In fact, it was not a big deal. However, if he met a pretentious person and asked him to sign it again, there might be a dispute.

  Zheng Ren comforted Zhong Min and said, "It's okay. It's the patient's family member's pen that has a problem. I'll go and talk to him."

  "Chief Zheng, will you be getting into trouble?" Zhong Min's tears started to fall.

  "Nope. She's not even on the operating table yet so what problem could there be?" Zheng Ren said with a smile, "Don't worry. If anything happens, I'll take care of it. If I can't then we still have Chief Physician Pan upstairs."

  At the mention of Chief Physician Pan, Zhong Min finally felt a little relieved.

  Zheng Ren sat down at his desk and asked Zhong Min to go and find the patient's husband.

  This kind of thing was about being mindful. If Zheng Ren went to look for the patient himself, he would feel threatened.

  Soon, Zhong Min brought the patient's family member to the office.

  The patient also bent down and held her right lower abdomen as she followed them.

  Zheng Ren smiled and asked them to sit down.

  "The signature that you signed just now has disappeared." Zheng Ren tapped on the pre-operation instructions with his finger. He maintained a gentle smile on his face. "It's the pen that you used just now. Is there something funny going on with it?"

  Chapter 472 - Bizarre Relationship

  Zheng Ren was very busy today, especially when he saw the child's parents leaning against the wall and hovering. He was in a bad mood, so he did not beat around the bush and went straight to the truth.

  The man smiled slightly, without any awkwardness caused by his little trick being exposed.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-surgeon's-studio_16489637605120805/bizarre-relationship_50116727920455396 for visiting.

  "Doctor, I don't want to cause a scene and I didn't mean any harm with it." The man's attitude was not arrogant, nor had he truly been caught red-handed. Instead, he used his voice to cover up the panic in his heart.

  His voice and tone were very calm, as if nothing had happened.

  Zheng Ren felt like he was strange.

  "I just don't know why I have to sign it." The man looked straight into Zheng Ren's eyes and said, "If I don't sign it, then the surgery can't be performed. On the signature, I wish I could write down the one-in-a-million possibilities that might happen. Don't you think this is an overbearing clause?"

  "Uh... " It was the first time Zheng Ren had met such a rational family member of a patient. However, did he actually care about his wife's feelings as she stood next to him?

  Just as this thought flashed through Zheng Ren's mind, he heard the patient say, "If you have rules, we can come up with countermeasures. All the risks are borne by me alone while you guys push the responsibility away. Doctor, do you think that's reasonable?"

  They were a couple, their worldviews the same even to the extreme.

  Even their sentence patterns were very similar.

  Zheng Ren looked at the female patient who was bending her waist. Due to the pain she felt, her face was a little pale. He was speechless.

  "We pay for medical treatment, which is considered capitalism. But if there is a problem, we have to bear the responsibility ourselves while you guys push it away. This is not appropriate, is it not?" The man smiled and said to Zheng Ren.

  Zheng Ren could not be bothered to explain the medical treatment. It was not truly all aout capitalism.

  Other businesses would not sell if they did not want to. However, when would a hospital stop accepting patients just by being in a bad mood?

  The emergency department was already so busy. Were they not still operating at their maximum capacity?

  Naturally, everyone thought that the reasoning behind this was correct. It was a waste of time.

  "This is our rule. It is also a rule that every hospital has to abide by," Zheng Ren said calmly. He smiled and continued, "It's almost time. I've told you all the complications that may occur during the surgery. If you agree to the surgery, please sign here."

  As he said that, Zheng Ren took out a pen from the pocket of his white coat and handed it over.

  The patient's husband did not take the pen. Instead, they looked at each other before staring at Zheng Ren in a serious manner. He asked, "If I don't sign, is the surgery not allowed to happen?"

  "Yes," Zheng Ren replied. "No matter where you are, if you don't sign, there will be no surgery."

  If he did not sign, there was actually a possibility of surgery. Zheng Ren had just performed one himself.

  But that referred to the situation where the patient's condition was critical without the patient's family member present.

  As for the female patient in front of him, her condition was not too bad. It was neither here nor there. The surgery was relatively simple.

  Zheng Ren naturally did not back down from their insistence on not signing the papers.

  The couple looked at each other. The husband asked, "Doctor, are you sure?"

  "I'm sure."

  "Aren't doctors supposed to save lives and help the injured?"

  Zheng Ren could not be bothered to answer this question. Recently, when he was in the emergency department, he had been accused of having no medical ethics. He had not saved lives and helped the injured. He had been accused too many times and was somewhat numb to it all.

  Patients in the emergency department were most willing to ask such questions. This was because this sentence was equivalent to pointing at their noses and cursing. If they were to lose all decorum, how would they be able to see each other in the future? Not to mention, they would have to find someone else to treat their illness.

  However, once they were hospitalized, things would usually get better.

  As long as their family members were prepared to not cause trouble, they would endure the small losses. Who would bring up medical ethics?

  Doctors had a natural advantage. The details would depend on the situation.

  "But this is the rule. If the two of you have any objections, you can file a complaint with the medical office or give your opinion to the Chief." Zheng Ren's attitude was very firm.

  The couple hesitated for a moment while looking at each other. Then, the husband said, "We want to be discharged."

  "Okay, Zhong Min, go discharge them immediately," Zheng Ren said to Zhong Min.

  "Alright." Zhong Min immediately took action.

  "What about the self-payment section?" the patient's husband asked.

  Every time the patient was hospitalized, there would be a certain percentage of self-payment. The 200 to 800 yuan that was spent at the beginning would not be reimbursed.

  After the patient was hospitalized, the corresponding preoperative check-up and preoperative preparation cost a few hundred yuan. This part of the money definitely could not be reimbursed.

  Zheng Ren had long thought about this and smiled, "That's a matter you need to take up with the Medica
l Insurance Bureau. We can't change it. However, you can take the laboratory report to other hospitals for surgery. This way, you can reduce some of the losses. Overall, it's not big, only two to three hundred yuan."

  After a pause, Zheng Ren said seriously, "No matter where you go, I suggest you hurry up and do the surgery. Right now, your wife's illness is not considered serious. After her appendix is removed, she can recover in a few days. However, once she has a perforation, she'll be in danger."

  The patient and her husband looked at each other again.

  Zheng Ren felt that the two of them had a telepathic connection. From the moment they sat here, the two of them had never spoken to each other. They only communicated with their eyes.

  They really had a telepathic connection.

  In fact, Zheng Ren had a good impression of the couple. He also believed that the risk of performing the surgery on the patient was almost negligible.

  It was really rare to see such a rational patient.

  However, this couple was full of vigor. Moreover, they were using their own bodies and illnesses to argue with their doctor. They were a bit too into this.

  "Okay, Doctor Zheng. Then we'll be discharged and go to another hospital for surgery," said the patient's husband.

  Zheng Ren smiled and nodded.

  Zhong Min had already printed out an informed consent form for automatic discharge. Zheng Ren took out a pen and asked the patient's husband to write on the bottom that they had requested to be automatically discharged due to family and financial reasons. The doctor had already informed him that the patient's condition was more serious, so she needed emergency surgery for treatment. But after repeated communication, he still refused the surgery and asked for automatic discharge. He said that he would take responsibility for any consequences.

  This long paragraph still made the patient's husband feel a little uncomfortable.

  However, she was ready to be discharged. There was no need to waste his breath. As Zheng Ren spoke, he wrote these words.

  Finally, he signed his name at the bottom.

  After everything was done, the two of them turned around and left. Zheng Ren stood up to send them off.

  This was the first time things had developed to this stage.

  The couple were extremely rational. They did not quarrel or scold each other. If they could not come to an agreement, they would be booted out of the hospital. They also did not dwell on the issue of fees.

  Therefore, Zheng Ren still wanted to give them a reminder.

  "The two of you cannot trust the hospital. You can also think that signing before the operation is a tyrant clause. However, you're still sick. It's best to have surgery to treat it. Do not delay fixing your illness."

  Zheng Ren smiled and emphasized this point.

  The couple nodded at the same time. The husband and Zheng Ren shook hands. The two of them packed their things and left Sea City General Hospital's emergency ward.

  "Chief Zheng, why did you still treat them as friends?" Zhong Min asked in a low voice. She did not understand.

  Chapter 473 - Small Tycoon Kebabs

  Zheng Ren did not know how to answer. He could only laugh dryly.

  Zheng Ren could not hate this couple. Moreover, he had a faint appreciation for them. He did not know why.

  "Teacher... Teacher Zheng," Gao Shaojie suddenly said.

  When he heard Gao Shaojie call him 'teacher', Zheng Ren was shocked.

  "Teacher Gao, you shouldn't call me that." Zheng Ren quickly waved his hand.

  "No, no. I must." Gao Shaojie was very determined. "Teacher Zheng, the The First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University has already accepted four patients. They have performed preoperative examinations and have no surgical taboos."

  Although Gao Shaojie had said that there would be ten patients at a time, Zheng Ren knew that was only the most ideal state.

  The professors at the The First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University would come out one day a week for specialist consultations. The patients they accepted would be operated on the following week.

  This cycle continued.

  It would be a bit of a joke if they had to accept 10 patients for TIPS surgery in one day.

  Unless Gao Shaojie had the intention to make an appointment, leave the number of patients required, and collect all 10 of them to conduct the surgery simultaneously, it would be impossible.

  If there were four of them, then so be it. The Provincial Capital was not far anyway, and the high-speed train would arrive very quickly.

  The surgery was not a problem. The problem lay at home.

  He was already so busy... Was it really alright for him to leave to go and do the surgery himself?

  Zheng Ren thought about it and said apologetically, "Teacher Gao, I'm sorry. You've seen the situation here. We really don't have the manpower."

  "It's okay. I'll finish your prostate embolization tomorrow and go back to settle the patients myself. Tell them not to be anxious." Gao Shaojie understood.

  For the sake of learning, what did it matter if the bed usage rate decreased a little? What did it matter if the patient's work was difficult?

  Zheng Ren nodded. This was the only way.

  The peaceful and quiet atmosphere in the afternoon was completely gone after the incident with the fake signature.

  Zhong Min still had a lingering fear. She sat on the side with a terrible expression on her face.

  Zheng Ren comforted her a little but was unable to provide her comfort through words.

  Although this matter was resolved easily, if Zhong Min had not realized that the words on the preoperative signature were gone, the consequences would be extremely serious.

  Regardless of whether the surgery was successful or not, as long as the family members raised objections, this would have become a huge matter.

  Without a signature and the authorization of the medical affairs department, who would dare to perform the surgery?

  If the patient was fine, it would cause a stir. Once the patient's recovery was not stable after the surgery, it would definitely cause a huge uproar even if the patient's family member pretended not to have done it, they performed the surgery and was discharged from the hospital normally.

  If this medical record was thrown into the medical record room, it would also be picked out and judged to be a grade-c medical record. After that, the doctor who wrote the medical record would lose his bonus for the next one to three months.

  Whether he needed to go to the medical office to talk about it or not, that was another matter.

  "Chief Zheng, you're not qualified to be a boss." Chang Yue mocked Zheng Ren at the side.

  "Huh?" Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment. He recalled the process of handling the matter in the afternoon. It was almost watertight, and he did not shift the blame at all. If he wanted to shift the blame, it should have been Chief Physician Pan rather than Zhong Min there.

  Did he seem that incompetent?

  "This matter has frightened Little Min. You should treat her to dinner tonight to calm her down," Chang Yue said.

  Zheng Ren kept quiet. It did not matter if they ate, but when he thought of the table full of people gathered together and talking in a mess, Zheng Ren felt a headache creeping up.

  "Look at your heartache. If you don't eat expensive food, you can at least eat kebabs, right?" Chang Yue joked.

  "No, no, it's not heartache," Zheng Ren quickly explained. He took out his phone and called Su Yun.

  "Something happened in the department... It's fine. It's been resolved. "

  "Well, I have to calm Zhong Min down tonight. I'll treat her to kebabs. Can you come here in an hour's time? "

  "Okay, it's settled then."

  Zheng Ren put down the phone and said with a smile, "The ICU patient still seems to be stable. His urine output has already reached 30ml per hour. Su Yun said he can come."

  "Then I'll mention this in the group chat. Don't call
Chief Physician Pan. The old chief can't be there," Chang Yue said.

  Yang Lei was on duty today. He could only sit quietly in the corner and watch Chang Yue begin to arrange for her meal.

  In the afternoon, the ward was very quiet. After a few days of busy work, he could finally have some quiet rest.

  When it was time to get off work, the Chu Sisters and Xie Yiren came to the emergency ward with a bunch of flowers. Everyone carpooled and went to eat barbecue together.

  Speaking of eating barbecue, Zheng Ren only ate at one restaurant. It seemed like there was only one restaurant in his mind.

  He was such a character...

  Actually, it was hard to comment much about this.

  In the hundred years of loneliness, there was a saying: "All the brilliance that once existed in one's life must be repaid with loneliness."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-surgeon's-studio_16489637605120805/small-tycoon-kebabs_50116733020718187 for visiting.

  Zheng Ren's situation was the opposite.

  All the loneliness that he had in his life must be repaid with brilliance.

  For him to be able to get to this point, the System's help was only one factor.

  In the System's operating theatre, there were not many people who could endure the loneliness and carry out surgeries for hundreds of hours continuously.

  Zheng Ren just happened to be one of those people.

  Since Zheng Ren was the one who treated them to food and barbecue, the only place they could choose was the kebab shop next to the rented house that Zheng Ren used to live in, Small Tycoon Kebabs.

  This was an old-fashioned name.

  The kebab shop was opened by a young couple, starting right below Zheng Ren's rental house. Because the business was particularly good, people got jealous and it was constantly closed down.

  But after a few years, they had also acc.u.mulated some money. They gave up on the casual shop and set up a shop in a place a little further away as they started to run a more proper business.
