Chapter 1039: with translation of chapter title
He checked around the ward; all six patients were in Sun Ming's sight. Although clinical matters had been neglected for many years, he could still tell what the patients' post-operative condition was like.
The patients had basically no problems; their post-operative symptoms were extremely mild, similar to those of normal people.
Thus, Sun Ming's thoughts also stirred.
Director Kong was arranging to go out for a meal; Zheng Renxian told Xie Yiren that he would return home a bit later that evening, and then he got in the car alone with Director Kong, Sun Ming, and the others to go eat.
The place Director Kong arranged couldn't be called luxurious, but it was relatively quiet.
Zheng Renye had no mind for eating; from the moment he sat down, without waiting for Sun Ming to express thanks for the medical visit, he directly began explaining the new TIPS Surgery to Sun Ming.
Sun Ming listened, dazed.
The TIPS Surgery, touted as the most difficult in the Intervention Department, was, in Zheng Lao Ban's hands, as easy as Chinese cabbage.
Other hospitals do one case every few days, whereas Zheng Lao Ban does several a day.
After some calculation, Sun Ming was completely moved.
When he heard that Zheng Ren was actually performing TIPS Surgery via livestream at Xinglin Yuan, he fell into a state of bewilderment, unable to extricate himself.
Livestream TIPS Surgery!
His reaction was the same as Director Kong's initial reaction; both found it hard to believe.
But the livestream had been ongoing for a while, the surgeries went smoothly, with essentially no mistakes.
Sun Ming felt somewhat moved; this Zheng Lao Ban, though appearing young, is truly impressive!
"Zheng Lao Ban, you're going to the Mayo Clinic to perform TIPS Surgery, right?" Sun Ming asked.
"No." Zheng Ren said: "They are researching renal radiofrequency ablation treatment for hypertension; after the procedure there were some issues, so I went to perform vascular and nerve separation surgical Shou Bing."
Sun Ming was instantly speechless.
Mastering a single Shou Bing is still understandable; either one has accumulated enough experience, or it is due to extraordinary talent plus good luck, encountering a special method for treating a certain type of Shou Bing, which could lead to this situation.
Although the possibility is extremely low, it is still possible.
However, Zheng Ren Zheng Lao Ban's case is hard to understand.
Being proficient in both Intervention and surgical Shou Bing is rare.
Although he was inwardly surprised, he did not show it, offering Zheng Ren a couple of plain compliments just to liven the atmosphere, keeping the mood neither cold nor hot, so everyone felt comfortable.
After having two drinks with Director Kong, he gradually became acquainted with Zheng Ren as well; Sun Ming asked about some related matters, but also gave no definite answer. He planned to go back and ask the relevant people, then speak later.
This community hospital can be said to be Sun Ming's sole capital, his hope for the second half of his life.
After finishing his meal and returning home, the phrase echoing in Sun Ming's mind remained: "Do not take lightly one's person."
……
United States, Minnesota, Mayo Clinic Medical Center.
Professor Danilo Acosta was roaring.
To him, finding another doctor to take over the postoperative treatment of patients who had undergone renal radiofrequency ablation Shou Bing was a great insult.
But the patients' condition was poor, so the project team's Boss directly decided to seek help from other doctors in the Interventional Medicine Discipline.
If that were the case, it would also be acceptable.
If there were a problem with the Intervention Shou Bing, Professor Danilo Acosta would not mind learning a bit and then improving his own Shou Bing level.
Yet in the reply email, from the very beginning they denied the entire procedure of radiofrequency ablation removing the renal sympathetic nerves.
This is something Professor Danilo Acosta cannot tolerate—truly excessive! Without any concrete, persuasive examination, they judged that the patient's renal artery and renal sympathetic nerves were fused?
This is simply absurd.
But after the experts from all disciplines of the project team discussed for four or five days, there was still no conclusion.
Finally, the Big Boss decided to let the doctor who had received a Nobel Prize Nomination this year perform the Shou Bing, and when treating the patients, Professor Danilo Acosta finally could not hold back and began to complain and roar.
This is the most outrageous thing he has encountered in his decades of medical practice.
Too hateful!
He knew the Big Boss's purpose was simple. The project had already reached a dead end, making breakthrough difficult. This project had gone smoothly in phases one and two, but upon entering phase three human trials, countless problems arose.
Having a solution is always better than having none, and better than groping in the dark by countless folds.
But Professor Danilo Acosta simply would not accept it.
If the surgical Shou Bing were successful, would that mean the entire procedure of radiofrequency ablation removing the renal sympathetic nerves had failed?
When he raised this question, the Big Boss utterly dismissed his doubt.
Professor Danilo Acosta would not care about the life or death of a Chinese doctor, but he felt a flame burning in his entire chest.
Unwillingness and anger, like a raging blaze, made him extremely irritable.
"Danilo, calm down." A friend from the research group reminded him, "Problems always need to be solved; for a difficult problem, someone coming to solve it—isn't that a good thing?"
"Luo Ni, do you think this is a good thing?" Danilo said with a cold smile.
"What I mean is, what if that Chinese doctor's speculation is correct?!" Professor Danilo Acosta voiced his worry.
For some reason, he had a faint belief in that Chinese doctor's "absurd" judgment; perhaps it was the added prestige of the Nobel Prize nomination, or perhaps it was because, when faced with the consultation, he disdained to glance, and despite the Mayo Clinic's invitation for Shou Bing, he actually claimed to be too busy and asked to wait a few days—such an excessive request.
"How could that be? Your imagination is as bad as the desserts from that sweet shop on Area 47, piled up in a heap, making you feel nauseated at a glance. Turning your imagination into research motivation, I think would be better for the project."
"I regret your description; I really want to stuff my boot into your mouth." Danilo said angrily.
"Calm down; your job is to record the relevant Shou Bing content. If there is a mistake, it's not your responsibility. This mistake is not caused by our project team, but by the erroneous, poor diagnosis of the Chinese doctor, the Nobel Prize nominee."
Professor Danilo Acosta knew it would be like this, but…… he still could not accept a Chinese doctor taking over the follow‑up treatment of renal radiofrequency ablation Shou Bing.
Because this means compromise and a lack of confidence in the entire project.
Moreover, he worries that if the Shou Bing succeeds, what will become of the entire project team, more than ten top experts from various fields?
Really, just admit the mistake and then follow the Chinese doctor's guidance to proceed with the subsequent work?
No, that is the worst possible thing, without exception!
No, that is the worst thing, there is nothing else!
