Sister Zhao was also a little puzzled. She nodded and stood up, taking her phone with her as she walked outside and started to contact her neighbor.
Zheng Ren had said everything that he needed to say, but it was not his decision to make.
For things like finding someone to treat a patient, the bigger the hospital, the better their reputation was. If Sister Zhao needed it, Zheng Ren could also contact a hospital in the Capital.
However, Sister Zhao did not say anything. She had mentioned Gao Shaojie, so Zheng Ren did not have to worry about pulling more strings.
Recalling the hospital in the Capital, Zheng Ren remembered that Old Chief Physician Pan had told him to contact Chief Kong more often in the future.
'After I finish the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction, I'll give Chief Kong a call,' Zheng Ren thought to himself.
Chapter 516 - Was Busy
Zheng Ren used less than an hour to finish the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction for the two patients.
He also completed it much faster than when he did it for Zheng Yunxia the first time.
He told Sister Zhao that there would be a bed for her neighbor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University if she needed it but did not push her to go there.
If he himself wanted to go then he would. Gao Shaojie's skills were not bad either.
If he went to look for a certain godly doctor, Zheng Ren would probably have to say a few more words.
After saying goodbye to Sister Zhao, Zheng Ren thought about the surgery as he walked to the emergency ward.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-studio_16489637605120805/was-busy_50340028924084412 for visiting.
Recently, there were more and more things to do. Zheng Ren felt that he constantly did not have enough time.
After entering the System library, he did not have time to read. This should not have been the case.
While walking, his cell phone rang.
Zheng Ren took it out and saw that it was Cui Heming. He immediately felt relieved.
"Old Cui.
"Oh okay, I'll have to trouble you first then.
"You're welcome. When will she arrive? I'll go pick her up.
"Okay, take care of yourself. I'll go over to the Capital in a few days' time. See you then."
After saying that, Zheng Ren hung up the phone.
Zheng Ren only had a vague idea of how to celebrate Xie Yiren's birthday and what birthday present to prepare for her.
He would have to gather other people's opinions on this matter.
Cui Heming was very enthusiastic. He would support Zheng Ren as long as he said something.
He called last night and confirmed the candidate at noon. He said that the plane would arrive at Sea City in the afternoon.
Zheng Ren thought about preparing a gift for Xie Yiren and still felt that it was inappropriate.
However, there were still a few days before the tenth of December, so he was not in a hurry.
When he returned to the ward, Zheng Ren received a series of calls.
One of them was from Chief Sun from the General Surgery Department. The patients who had undergone the TIPS surgery were in excellent condition and there were no signs of hepatic encephalopathy. He asked Zheng Ren when he could undergo the second-stage surgery.
There was also a call from the Secondary Hospital asking about the same thing.
There was also a call from the Vascular Surgery Department. Zheng Ren had almost forgotten about the patient whose pregnancy would cause her body to be in a state of hypercoagulability. She had been constantly monitored for some time. Now that she seemed to be in a better state, the abortion had also been done.
The Vascular Surgery Department still had to seek Zheng Ren's opinion on when to remove the filter.
While pondering all these things, Zheng Ren became overwhelmed.
When he thought of going to work in the Capital in the future... Zheng Ren felt quite unwilling.
If he went to the Capital, would he not just be worked to death?
Zheng Ren replied to everyone one by one. Tomorrow, he would do an interventional embolization for liver cancer. After that, he would take out a recyclable stent during the second-stage TIPS surgery and on the same day itself, he would do another surgery to remove the filter.
The day after tomorrow, he would do Li Chen's interventional embolization for liver cancer.
He was not in a rush for the Secondary Hospital's second-stage surgery and would simply observe the patients for another day or two. He knew that it was important to make sure that everything was alright first before proceeding.
There were many things to do. There were also some important things to be done by Su Yun. Zheng Ren knew that if he were to participate in the publication of his thesis and establish a relationship with the judges... He would not be able to concentrate on performing surgery.
Like Xie Yiren, Zheng Ren had a kind of obsession with performing surgery.
The Nobel Prize was not as important to him.
Anyway, he was still young. If he were to kick the professor away, he would not feel any psychological pressure from doing so. However, he knew that it meant that persuading the judges about his thesis would probably need a couple more decades without him.
How many years did Tu Youyou wait before she had gotten it?
How many years did Mo Yan get it? Moreover, Mo Yan also took a very different path from most and had a good relationship with the Japanese literary world.
That was that. Zheng Ren could not care less.
Saving lives was more important than the Nobel Prize. That was what Zheng Ren thought.
Sitting in the office, Zheng Ren wanted to order a meal but had no appetite.
He found a sunny place and steadily sat down. He took a book and pretended to read it, but in reality, he went into the System's Library to read various periodicals.
After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Ren heard someone call him.
"Chief Zheng, when's the surgery? It's time to do the water fasting."
It was Zhong Min's voice.
Uh... Zheng Ren felt so busy and confused. The patient with colonic diverticulum who was admitted early in the morning had to be operated on as soon as possible.
"How's the patient's family?" Zheng Ren asked.
When he watched the x-ray earlier, Zheng Ren could feel a strong sense of distrust from the patient's family.
Therefore, he had to put such patients aside for now. If he hurried to get the surgery done, it would not be beneficial to him as any problems caused could turn into a major medical accident.
Zhong Min knew what Zheng Ren meant. She smiled and said, "At first, my family was a little reluctant. They were hesitant to go to the hospital to pay for the surgery. I was thinking of telling you to be cautious during the surgery. "
"Oh? What happened after that?"
"I don't know who my family called. When I came back, they asked me if you were Chief Zheng of Sea City General Hospital."
Zheng Ren felt speechless. This title sounded like a bandit's name.
This made him feel like a famous figure. He was Chief Zheng of Sea City General Hospital. It made him sound quite low-class.
"Have you been proactive lately?"
"Yes, quite a bit." Zhong Min's gaze toward Zheng Ren changed slightly. "Chief Zheng, you're really amazing. Now, your reputation has spread far and wide."
"It's useless." Zheng Ren waved his hand and said casually.
The mess in front of him was annoying even to just think about.
There was still a long way to go before the System mission was completed.
However, things had to be done one step at a time.
There was no such thing as rushing.
With a smile, Zhong Min said, "Chief Zheng, the surgery has been signed off already. If you're preparing for it,
you can take the list."
"Okay." Zheng Ren did some calculations. It seemed that there was nothing much to do. He could list out one thing after the other. There were still a bunch of surgeries tomorrow and the day after. The Secondary Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University were also still waiting for him to do his freelance surgery.
It seemed like he still needed to find a few helpers.
Zheng Ren was thinking about things as he gave Su Yun a call to tell him to come back for surgery as soon as possible.
Although it was an emergency surgery, there was a fundamental difference between that and the emergency treatment.
Emergency treatment was a race against time. However, there was not much difference between an hour earlier and an hour later for this type of emergency surgery.
Zheng Ren put his hands behind his back and leisurely went to take a look at the patient, waiting for Su Yun to rush over to send the patient off.
The patient was in severe pain and discomfort. He lay on the bed and complained to his family about how uncomfortable the stomach tube was.
When they saw Zheng Ren enter, the family members immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully. Their attitude was completely different from that morning.
"Don't be nervous about the surgery later. There won't be any problems," Zheng Ren comforted the patient and said with a smile. "I'll just be taking a short nap. I'll be back when I wake up."
"Dad, this is Chief Zheng that I told you about just now," a man in either his forties or fifties said.
"Chief Zheng? He looks very young. Are you sure you're not mistaken? " The old man asked, slightly confused as he looked at Zheng Ren.
In front of Zheng Ren, the family began to criticize him. Zheng Ren also felt very helpless in this situation.
"Was this really the person that the professor in the Capital was mentioning?" The old man still refused to believe that was the case.
The more he said it, the more embarrassed his family became.
Chapter 517 - Anxiety Caused By The Red Packet
"Who are you asking?" Zheng Ren was curious as well. He did not feel embarrassed and asked with a smile.
"Isn't this a hospital in the Capital?" The patient's family was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "They say that it's a difficult disease to treat, but we don't dare to get it done in Sea City... If we delay it, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives."
Zheng Ren understood. He smiled and nodded.
"My family contacted Chief Wang of the General Surgery Department in the first-aid department. Chief Wang said that when you were participating in scientific research in the Capital, you helped him solve a big problem," the patient's family member said. "Chief Wang said that he didn't understand this disease. With you around, there's no need to consult him again. With you around, things should definitely not go wrong."
Chief Wang? Zheng Ren tried hard to recall, but he could not remember what the General Surgery Department's Chief Wang looked like.
He only remembered that he happened to meet a patient with PJS at that time. He went on stage and helped him perform the surgery.
A basin of intestinal polyps. That was Zheng Ren's impression of Chief Wang.
Since that was the case, he would need to prepare for surgery.
Zheng Ren smiled and comforted the old man with a few more words. After that, he received a call. The operation room was ready. Su Yun had also rushed back.
Just as Zheng Ren was about to leave the room, a patient's family member hurriedly called out to Zheng Ren.
"Chief Zheng, please wait a moment."
"Yes?" Zheng Ren turned his head.
"This is a small gift from my family. Please accept it." The patient's family member stuffed a red packet into Zheng Ren's white pocket before holding his hand tightly so that he could not reject it.
Zheng Ren felt helpless. He took a glance and saw that there were other patients in the room. Causing a commotion here would not do any of them good.
Zheng Ren smiled and made sure not to make a fuss about it.
Seeing that Zheng Ren had accepted the red packet, the family was relieved.
The patient had already been sent up. Zheng Ren did not have time to deal with the money. He felt the thickness of the red packet. It probably had about 2,000 yuan.
For general surgery, it was already a lot. However, for someone of Zheng Ren's status... If the family knew about it, then they would know that the money they had given him was far too little.
"Zhong Min, there's a red packet here. I need to go on stage. I don't have time to deal with this. Help me make a trip to pay the hospital fees." Zheng Ren threw the red packet toward Zhong Min.
Zhong Min was stunned for a moment, slightly puzzled.
"Chief Zheng, are you not confident about the surgery?" Zhong Min asked worriedly.
"The surgery? I've no issues with it. It's just removing a section of the intestine and then anastomosing it. It's very simple," Zheng Ren said.
"Then..."
"I'm not short on cash. I just don't like taking money from others since it gives me unnecessary pressure. Hurry up. If you're late, the family will definitely think that there's something wrong with the surgery," Zheng Ren urged as the thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Although Zhong Min did not understand, she did what Zheng Ren instructed her to do.
Su Yun sent the patient away as Zheng Ren slowly went up to change his clothes.
When Zheng Ren changed his clothes and entered the operating theater, Chu Yanzhi had already finished administering the anesthesia. Su Yun had also already begun to disinfect all the necessary tools.
Zheng Ren brushed his hands and went up to the stage. He helped Su Yun finish laying out the sheet and the surgery began.
..
..
After the patient entered the operating theater, the patient's family members waited anxiously outside the operating theater.
Within a few minutes, Zhong Min arrived at the waiting area of the operating theater.
"Who paid the patient's hospital deposit?" Zhong Min asked.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-studio_16489637605120805/anxiety-caused-by-the-red-packet_50340029444181693 for visiting.
"Wait, did I not have enough money?" an elderly man stood up and asked.
"This is the red packet you gave Chief Zheng just now. Chief Zheng asked me to pay the hospital deposit with it." Zhong Min smiled, "This is the deposit ticket. You have to bring all the deposit tickets with you when you exit the hospital. Otherwise, you won't be able to go through the discharge procedures. That's all. I'll go down first."
After saying that, Zhong Min handed the deposit ticket to the patient's family and turned around to leave.
The red packet was not accepted... The family immediately began to panic.
What the hell was going on? This surgeon did not understand their superstitious beliefs at all!
If he knew the surgery could be done successfully, why would he not accept the red packet? Why did he pay the hospital deposit with it before he went on stage?
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"Chief Zheng looks very young. Is the surgery going to go smoothly?"
"The doctors in the Imperial City all said it would be okay. I think it'll be fine."
"Don't tell me you got the wrong person. Although he looks quite honest and reliable, he's still too young. I think he only just graduated a few years ago."
"Yeah, I also feel like I've gotten the wrong person. Otherwise, why wouldn't they accept the red packet?"
The more they talked about it, the more nervous the family became. Finally, one of them said, "I know someone here. He's the best friend of the General Surgery Department's Chief. Why don't we get him to take a look for us?"
"Will that be…al
right?"
"It's okay to take a look. If we can't then we still have a helper on our side. Dad is old. If he doesn't get through the surgery, then finding a helper afterward will be too late."
With that said, it was decided.
After a few twists and turns, he got someone to help him. He had made nearly ten calls before he finally got in touch with Department Chief Sun.
The family member who contacted him had an ugly expression on his face. When he finally got a hold of Department Chief Sun, he did not say anything over the phone and was simply redirected to head to the General Surgery Department itself.
Despite bragging about how close they were, he had needed to call Department Chief Sun so many times when he actually needed help.
He definitely did not have much pride left. He was prepared to give Chief Sun a red packet so that he would not lose any more of his ego.
When Chief Sun heard that Zheng Ren was performing the surgery and the family wanted him to go and take a look, he shook his head like it was a rattle.
What a joke. Was he not done being slapped in the face by Zheng Ren?
Go to the viewing platform? Zheng Ren was still alright. Just as long as he did not provoke him, Zheng Ren would leave him alone. However, his assistant beside him...
Damn it, how could there be such a person in the world.
At the thought of Su Yun, Chief Sun shook his head even more fiercely.
He was not afraid of raising his blood pressure and causing a cerebral hemorrhage from shaking his head so hard.
"Chief Sun, look..." The patient's family members were also dumbfounded. They had said so much, but they did not expect Chief Sun to not even budge on the matter.
"It's Chief Zheng so would you even need to take a look at the surgery? You should hurry back. At around this time, the surgery would most probably be wrapped up already." Director Sun firmly rejected their request.
Care about his ego? He was not very close to the person who had come to him. He refused to be put into such an embarrassing situation. Chief Sun would not do such a thing.
