The Surgeon's Studio

Panda Novel

Chief Qian’s attitude toward Gao Shaojie was warm and polite. However, he did not have the urge to kneel down and Lick Gao Shaojie’s feet.

After all, he was a leading group professor within the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University. He had his own standards. If he really encountered an emergency, he would give Gao Shaojie a call and the other party would give him face. After that, he took the high-speed train to come over for a consultation to help solve any difficult issues.

Besides that, he could also arrange for a patient to be hospitalized at the Provincial Capital and undergo surgery there. These were some of the benefits of their relationship.

However, that was unimportant at the moment.

After expressing his respect, Chief Qian did not say anything else. He just greeted his buddies and brought Zheng Ren and Gao Shaojie into the ICU.

“This patient is a young team leader. His blood pressure and lipids have been high recently, so he walks ten thousand steps every day. After work, he has an event to attend and it wasn’t far from his hotel. Therefore, he decided to walk instead of drive there,” Chief Qian said as he changed his clothes. “I didn’t expect to encounter this unexpected disaster. ”

“How’s the patient’s condition now?” Zheng Ren asked.

“It’s alright,” Chief Qian said. “He hasn’t peed yet, but his blood pressure has reached 60/30 mm HG.”

Although his blood pressure was still not high, it was still better than the lack of readings they had gotten earlier. There was a tangible difference.

When he entered the ICU, he could hear the various sounds emitted by the ventilator, monitor, venous pump, and blood filter that were connected together, causing people’s heart rate and blood pressure to rise involuntarily.

Su Yun sat beside the patient’s bed, holding a pen and paper in his hands as he recorded some numbers.

“Su Yun, how’s the situation?” Chief Qian asked without any reservations.

Normally, Su Yun would have already left the ICU and was not considered under Chief Qian’s jurisdiction. However, this fellow had the ability to make Chief Qian and Chief Pan fight several times while still treating him as one of their own despite the results.

This was something Zheng Ren could not accomplish.

However, when there’s a will there’s always a way. Zheng Ren had the right to make Su Yun call him boss. He had no care about putting up some sort of delicate facade called a relationship between him and others.

Su Yun was still sitting on the chair and had no intention of standing up at all. He raised his head and said, “It’s alright. I judge that we’d be able to remove the tube the day after tomorrow morning.”

Chief Qian trusted Su Yun’s judgment. He could not help but smile when he saw how amazing Su Yun had become.

When Gao Shaojie saw Su Yun raise her head, he was puzzled. He initially thought that this person was a technician from the CT department.

Later during the emergency treatment, he saw that Su Yun had dared to hold the hepatic hilum with his own hands. He judged that Su Yun was an emergency doctor who knew how to operate a CT machine, a very experienced doctor with a very high level of skill.

The complications of pinching the hepatic hilum with one’s bare hands, such as avulsion and necrosis, would make an ordinary doctor cower.

As the saying went, it would not be someone’s problem if they did not have anything to do with it. However, if they had to do it but could not do it well, there would be complications.

However, this matter was still extraordinarily difficult.

Therefore, the doctors who did not know what to do would definitely not dare to cut open the hepatic hilum in an emergency room and stop the bleeding with their bare hands.

Even if they knew what they were doing, they would still need to be confident in their actions.

After all, it was unknown whether the patient whose blood pressure was unreadable was dead or alive. Their chances of surviving were extremely slim.

This kind of operation had hidden dangers.

However, they were now seeing him again in the ICU.

Listening to the Chief Qian’s words and the familiarity and friendliness in his tone, Gao Shaojie vaguely felt that Su Yun was the ICU’s mainstay. He was the Chief’s favorite, a capable and reliable Chief Resident.

No matter what kind of patients were handed over to him, he could go home and sleep in ease.

This…

This was too awesome.

How many monsters would he come across here?

Furthermore, he seemed to be Zheng Ren’s assistant.

No wonder Zheng Ren said that he had an assistant at home and things usually ran smoothly.

“Boss, you should be dead tired now. You better go back to sleep early.” Su Yun did not know nor care about Gao Shaojie’s thoughts. After a simple report of the patient’s condition, he blew away the wispy strands of black hair on his forehead. He looked extremely handsome as he told Zheng Ren to go home.

Gao Shaojie was so confused.

Su Yun was a junior doctor, right? What junior doctor could use such a tone to talk to their senior doctor? He told him he was dead tired!

However, even if he was not a junior doctor, the title of boss was not something that any normal doctor would have.

Even Gao Shaojie himself did not have a National Natural Science Grant, so he could not be considered an actual ‘boss’ in that sense.

Forget it. He could not understand what was going on here. The more he thought about it, the more questions he had.

Gao Shaojie stood aside calmly and looked at the strange pair.

“Yes, I’m pretty tired,” Zheng Ren answered calmly, not noticing Su Yun’s nonchalance. “I’m sorry that I’ll have to trouble you with this.”

“Not to worry. A patient with a hemorrhagic shock like this can be stabilized in under a night,” Su Yun said with a smile.

Zheng Ren glanced at the monitor and suction machine. The parameters on it made him feel very relieved, so he took his leave.

As he walked, he suddenly remembered something. He took out his cellphone and dialed a number.

“Hello, Chief Sun.”

“Chief Zheng, what’s the matter?” Chief Sun seemed to be drinking on the other side of the phone, slurring his words slightly.

“Is the patient with decompensated cirrhosis at the hospital?” Zheng Ren asked.

“Oh, he is. I’m going to bring him to you tomorrow to have a look.”

“Let’s do an MRI scan of his liver tomorrow morning. Yes, an MRI scan,” Zheng Ren said. “Just let me know when you’re done. I just want to have a look at the scans.”

With that, Zheng Ren hung up.

“Chief Zheng, do you have a patient who needs TIPS surgery?” Gao Shaojie asked in surprise.

“Seems like it.”

“You need an MRI scan of the liver? Is this a new differential diagnosis method?” Gao Shaojie was very skilled. He immediately found the crux of the problem.

“Yes, it is.” Zheng Ren exited ICU. “It’s getting late. Teacher Gao, you should go back and rest early. We’ll talk about the specific differential diagnosis while looking at the scans tomorrow.”

“Alright, sounds good.” Gao Shaojie quickly agreed.

Back in the emergency ward, Zheng Ren went in to change his clothes. Gao Shaojie thought about it but did not follow Zheng Ren. Instead, he went downstairs and prepared to take Wang Qiang’s car to Shangri-La.

“Teacher, does he really know how to do TIPS surgery?” Wang Qiang was still unable to wrap his head around the idea.

“It’s not that he knows how to do it,” Gao Shaojie said after pondering for a few seconds.

‘Oh, so that was how it was,’ Wang Qiang thought to himself. The level of interventional surgery in Sea City General Hospital could not be compared to that of the Secondary Hospital. He was not from the interventional department and yet, he still wanted to perform TIPS surgery?

“He’s looking for a new way to perform TIPS surgery.” Gao Shaojie said seriously. “However, Chief Zheng’s skill level is indeed impressive, to the point that I’m unsure how good he is. Moreover, his method might change the future direction of interventional surgery. He might even win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.”

Wang Qiang was speechless.

“Who knows? I’m just curious. We’ll know the exact details tomorrow.” Gao Shaojie exited the emergency building of Sea City General Hospital.
