The Surgeon's Studio

Panda Novel

“I know. Department Chief Kong took one bed from every department chief. He gave us two beds so that it would make up at least six. We will definitely offend someone, but we won’t offend him.” Zheng Ren knew that because space was limited, he would definitely offend someone.

The hospital beds in the Imperial Capital were so expensive. Just look at the sea of people waiting to be hospitalized outside.

If Department Chief Kong was here, it would be easier to talk and deal with people.

But now that Department Chief Kong was not at home, it was entirely possible for him to encounter some minor problems. He did not even think about Professor Zhao’s true thoughts. Something felt wrong now.

“Then why did you agree? Are you stupid?” Su Yun said with disdain.

“It’s just a look? What if we can solve the problem?” Zheng Ren smiled.

“Boss, even though you’re from the general surgery department, it’s too difficult for you not to participate in such a thing as liver hydatid disease,” Su Yun warned.

Zheng Ren nodded.

Su Yun knew what Zheng Ren was thinking. He had formed a habit in Sea City General Hospital’s emergency ward. If there were emergency patients, he would definitely do his best to go and take a look.

However, there was a strange feeling in this matter.

Could Professor Zhao easily admit defeat? Zheng Ren did not know, and he was not willing to expend his energy to guess. However, Professor Zhao’s intention of asking him to take a look at liver hydatid disease and whether he could perform interventional surgery was too obvious.

Su Yun took out his phone and dialed a number. “Let me ask.”

Soon, Su Yun picked up the phone. He glared at Zheng Ren and communicated with whoever it was on the other side.

The other side seemed to be very busy. After saying a few words in a hurry, he hung up the phone.

“The patient was thrown to the entrance of the inpatient department. You know that, right?” Su Yun asked.

“I know.”

“Originally, Professor Yang wanted to see if he could have a liver transplant. Not to mention the hospitalization fee, there wasn’t even anyone who signed the contract before the operation. Even general surgery was very difficult. Later, he reported it to the medical administration division and was waiting for the results. The patient went into anaphylactic shock,” Su Yun said, “He’s in the midst of resuscitation. It doesn’t involve the interventional department at all.”

No matter how much he thought about it, he knew he just needed to check. Zheng Ren nodded and said, “Go and see when the young patient’s mother will come out.”

“Oh? You’re quite caring. You’ve gotten along with the young child so quickly?” Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren. He wanted to squeeze out a smile on his face, but in the end, he left expressionlessly.

Seeing Su Yun enter the ultrasound room, Zheng Ren said to Xie Yiren apologetically, “Yiren, you can go back first.”

“No.” Xie Yiren gave Zheng Ren an unexpected answer.

In Zheng Ren’s impression, the gentle Xie Yiren would say yes, allergic to the word ‘no’.

Zheng Ren was surprised.

“Don’t think of ditching me like last time,” Xie Yiren said firmly. She held Zheng Ren’s hand tightly as if she was afraid that this guy would run away again.

“Okay, let’s go and take a look together then.” Zheng Ren was just afraid that Little Yiren would work too hard but seeing that she insisted, there was no need to say anything about it.

Soon, the little patient’s mother came out. Zheng Ren quickly sent a message to the little boy on QQ.

The little boy instantly turned off his phone and the flickering light disappeared. He came out of the corner regretfully and gave Zheng Ren a thumbs up.

Zheng Ren nodded and smiled.

“Mommy, I’m here.” The little boy ran over and held his mother’s hand.

The two of them talked while walking away. When they were about to turn the corner, the little boy turned back and made a face at Zheng Ren before disappearing.

Zheng Ren looked at the thin and small figure with his naughty face. There was turmoil in his heart.

“Let’s go, Boss.” Su Yun ran out and said, “Chief Qi said that we should look for him for surgery tomorrow.”

That’s good. Zheng Ren’s heart was relieved.

He had almost forgotten that this was the Imperial Capital Hospital.

It was said to be a small outpatient surgery. In Sea City General Hospital, he could open up an emergency operating theater, borrow a needle and a puncture gun, and perform an emergency ultrasound. However, in the Imperial Capital Hospital, he could not do it so casually. There were procedures involved.

Since Chief Qi had agreed to let him perform the puncture, the rest of the matters would be much easier to handle.

Zheng Ren saw chief Qi walk out from afar. He bowed and headed straight to the general surgery department with Su Yun.

As they walked, Zheng Ren recalled liver hydatid disease.

As the name implied, this was a parasitic disease. It was mostly found in Qinghai, Gansu, Tibet, and other places. It was already very rare everywhere else.

Zheng Ren had only seen one case of liver hydatid disease in Sea City. It was a very simple disease. At that time, he still could not go up for surgery. According to Zheng Ren’s estimation, the surgical progress bar of the surgery performed by Liu Tianxing was only 70%. Just like that, Liu Tianxing bragged about it for half a year.

The surgery was extremely difficult, but it should not be difficult for an Imperial Capital doctor, right? Zheng Ren had always been confused about this.

Soon, they arrived at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.

The earliest general surgery department had long been divided into departments such as hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal, and glandular surgery. It was not a general surgery department. Zheng Ren still remembered that when he came here last year, he coincidentally met a small patient with P-J syndrome in the gastrointestinal department. Then, he went up on stage to take a look.

That basin of intestinal polyps was still fresh in Zheng Ren’s memory. However, the division of departments at Sea City General Hospital was not that detailed, so Zheng Ren was still used to calling it general surgery.

There were people wearing white clothes running in the corridor. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

It was a very familiar feeling. In just a moment, Zheng Ren felt the hormone levels in his body rise as his heart rate rose to 110 beats per minute.

“Dong Jia!” Su Yun shouted at the entrance of the resuscitation room. His voice was not loud, but the people inside could hear him clearly.

“Brother Yun!” A doctor in his thirties walked out, his forehead covered in sweat.

“How is it?”

“What are you guys doing here?” The chief resident, Dong Jia, was so busy that he could not help but ask that question.

“You seem busy. Are you panicking just because of a major resuscitation? My boss came to take a look and tell me about the situation,” Su Yun said disdainfully.

Dong Jia looked at Su Yun and Zheng Ren who stood behind him in surprise. How could he hide from such a troublesome matter as long as he could? He was still in a hurry?

However, he was busy on the other side and the nurse was pushing the medicine. He did not have time to think too much and directly told him.

“A young female patient, 22 years old, diagnosed with terminal liver hydatid disease. She was admitted to the hospital today for emergency treatment. 45 minutes ago, the patient showed signs of infection and poisoning. She is now being treated.”

“End-stage?” Zheng Ren asked.

Hydatid disease was a serious zoonotic disease. Domestic dogs were the main source of infection for hydatid disease.

Contact with sick dogs and eating food or water contaminated by eggs of the hydatid disease were the main ways of contracting the disease.

China’s hydatid disease was mainly divided into three types: cystic, vesicular, and vesicular mixed. Among them, vesicular hydatid disease was the most serious and had a high mortality rate. It was even called ‘insect cancer’.

If it was the terminal stage, it meant that the hydatid disease had eroded at least two or more organs.

When Su Yun heard Dong Jia say this, his expression became solemn.

“The thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and portal vein have all been eroded. It’s very difficult to perform the surgery.”

Dong Jia did not waste any more words and said everything that he could.

The surgery could only be completed by a thoracoabdominal incision. Moreover, when it came to the portal vein, there was a high probability that the vascular department would have to go on stage and perform the surgery together with many other departments.

In particular, the portal vein needed to be rerouted. This was something that required a lot of skill.

Why were clinicians still working tirelessly on TIPS surgery, which was so risky? Wasn’t it because the risk of portal azygos devascularization was higher?
