Chapter 99: A Surgeon with a Stuck-Out Butt Has High Surgical Skill

As they spoke, a group of people walked in.

The leader took off his hat and mask as he walked, rubbing his crew cut with one hand, a professional smile on his face; he looked gentle and refined, which made people feel pleased.

He seemed to notice the atmosphere in the locker room was off, glancing at Geng and then at Ji Xiang.

This Professor Zhou was not old, only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but his eyes seemed to speak; the look he gave Ji Xiang seemed to be asking what had happened.

"Professor Zhou, hello." Ji Xiang greeted him honestly, "We are about to go in for surgery to stop the bleeding, it's a..."

"Geng, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying and howling like that?"

The person following behind Professor Zhou asked in surprise.

"Did you do something and get caught by your wife?"

"That shouldn't be, you usually have to report to your wife even when you go out for a drink, do you even have the guts?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, what kind of hurdle can't a grown man get over?"

The few of them offered comfort; it was clear the hospital wasn't large, and everyone saw each other all the time, so they were very familiar.

It wasn't like a large Grade A Tertiary Hospital, where only a few people in different departments were close due to personal relationships.

A small hospital has its own advantages; at the very least, it is full of human warmth.

"There's a patient who had a Renal Cancer Partial Nephrectomy, and damn it, they suddenly had delayed bleeding a month and a half after surgery." Geng said fiercely, his eyes red and his neck stiff, "I'm going up to stop the bleeding; if that doesn't work, I'm out of options."

"Heh."

A cold laugh came, and Ji Xiang's DNA stirred.

This laugh was so familiar, so... hateful!

The laugh itself wasn't special, but Ji Xiang had experienced many "next time for sure" situations, and he knew that after that person laughed, some nasty words were about to spray out.

【Superior Doctor's Gaze】, was he the template for the copy?

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, looking at the young Professor Zhou.

The System NPC said he was a template, but now Ji Xiang was wavering. The Professor Zhou in front of him was so familiar that he could even guess what he was going to say.

Was he the legendary Zhou Congwen?

"What can you do after opening them up?"

Sure enough, what Ji Xiang expected happened.

The smile on Professor Zhou's face was still gentle and kind, but his tone had already begun to turn acerbic.

"If you perform a Retroperitoneal incision, there's a 28% chance the blood will spray out directly, and you won't be able to find the blood vessel at all. Even if the bleeding is light, inserting a Suction Device will only accelerate the patient's blood loss."

"..."

Geng grimaced; he didn't notice the acerbity in Professor Zhou's words at all.

Because these words were exactly what he was thinking in his heart.

"After opening them up, you'll be busy for over an hour, pumping three or five thousand units of fluid inside, plus red blood cells, plasma, and so on. Besides spending a huge sum of money, is there any other use?"

"Right, there is a use. In the future, when you think back on this, you can comfort yourself by saying you did your best."

"Tsk tsk, hurry up and go; if you're any later, I'm afraid you won't even be able to make the incision in time."

"It really is pitiful, death is inevitable either way, and they have to take a knife before they die."

Professor Zhou's tone grew sharper, whipping against Geng's face like the biting cold wind of midwinter.

Geng's eyes were red, "Get lost, what the hell do you expect me to do!"

"You were able to perform a partial Kidney Resection, which proves your skill is decent, so you didn't know about the complications? Did you perform the surgery blindly?" Professor Zhou wasn't angry, but mocked instead.

"..."

He was like a colleague of many years, seeing everything. A few sentences, and he was basically close to the truth.

Geng wanted to explain something, but then he thought, even if Professor Zhou could perform the surgery, the county hospital didn't have the relevant DSA equipment, let alone consumables like Guide Wires, Catheters, Spring Coils, or Gelatin Sponges.

Even a god couldn't help.

He stiffened his neck and remained silent for a second, then immediately began to change his clothes.

"Geng, I can perform Interventional Surgery, how about I give you a hand?"

After the mockery, Professor Zhou smiled and offered a solution.

"It's no use even if you can." Geng felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, especially when he thought of the patient's home that day, seeing the little lamb with a bell hanging on it, the image of it jingling kept floating before his eyes, making him feel even worse.

"A fluoroscope is all I need." Professor Zhou said gently, "If the surgery can't be done, I'll accompany you to perform the incision. If I perform the incision to stop the bleeding, there's still a tiny possibility of preserving part of the kidney function."

"!!"

"We don't have a Guide Wire; since the centralized procurement, the only doctor in our county hospital who performed Catheter Surgery went to the South." Geng sighed, unable to hold back his tears, which fell again.

"Who goes out without bringing a medical equipment supplier?" Professor Zhou smiled and patted Geng, "But regarding the emergency procurement..."

So Professor Zhou had already thought of everything; Ji Xiang was silent, carefully sizing up that young Professor Zhou.

Time waits for no one; the other party was a big shot from a superior hospital of a superior hospital; with him helping with the surgery, what was there to hesitate about!

Geng thanked him repeatedly, and he and Professor Zhou left the locker room to prepare to push the patient into the X-ray room, to try it with the simplest fluoroscope.

Outside the door, a young and beautiful woman carrying a suitcase appeared at the right moment, like Professor Zhou's summoned beast.

"This is Wang, this is Geng; you two discuss the emergency procurement of consumables." Professor Zhou said briefly, then rushed off, personally pulling the gurney, striding with his long legs at a full run.

Geng, on the other hand, seemed like an outsider; he wiped his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed as he greeted Wang.

After a brief exchange, Wang looked young but was extremely professional; after clarifying the condition, she passed the necessary consumables to Geng and instructed him on where to process the surgery and who was most suitable to find.

Compared to Wang, Geng looked more like a rookie, like an outsider.

After the exchange, Geng knew what he had to do and ran quickly to the X-ray room. Ji Xiang followed behind him, his heart filled with countless questions.

This Professor Zhou did things cleanly and efficiently, but he didn't know how well he performed surgery.

By the time they ran to the spot, Professor Zhou had just raised his hands to his chest, walked to the lead door, and stuck his butt out.

This movement...

Afterwards, Zhou Jiaoshou gave a sheepish laugh and found someone to open the lead door.

"Mine are all infrared-sensor operated; I use my butt to open the door," Zhou Jiaoshou said, feeling uncharacteristically embarrassed as he offered an explanation.

"......"

"For a Surgeon, the one with the perkiest butt usually performs the best surgeries; it's not absolute, but you can tell quite a bit just by looking at their physique."

Zhou Jiaoshou walked into the control room and asked the technician to replay the surgical imaging.

Ji Xiang ignored Zhou Jiaoshou's talk about perky butts and good surgery, focusing his attention on the imaging.

The Spring Coil had already been inserted, and upon further Angiography, the bleeding was stopped.

In the dozen or so minutes that Geng and Wang were discussing matters, he had actually finished the surgery!

"Alright, it's done," Zhou Jiaoshou smiled after seeing the imaging. "Wheel the Patient back; there's about a 22% loss in Kidney function, but it's acceptable. Tell the Family Member, and also, regarding the costs..."

Geng's apple muscles twitched.
