Chapter 118: with translation of chapter title
Chang Yue looked anxiously at Zheng Ren, her eyes silently and urgently asking what had happened.
Su Yun, however, was not convinced and asked, "What's wrong?"
"At the hospital entrance, there was a car accident, and Professor Pei was sent to the Emergency Department." Zheng Ren said while hurrying downstairs.
Chang Yue wanted to follow, but Zheng Ren drove her back.
Arriving at the Emergency Department, Zheng Ren saw Manager Feng anxiously standing outside Director Pan's office, with a sorrowful face as he said something.
He quickened his steps, came up to Manager Feng, and asked, "How is it?"
"He was hit by a three-wheeled motorcycle, striking the rear seat. When braking suddenly, Professor Pei's left knee hit the front seat's backrest, injuring the knee joint." Manager Feng was very gloomy.
The work, prepared for a long time, had been going smoothly, but unexpectedly an accident occurred at the hospital entrance.
"Where is the person?"
"In the Emergency Resuscitation Room." Director Pan said.
Zheng Ren hurried to the Emergency Resuscitation Room, and upon entering saw an elderly person with gray-white hair lying on the emergency bed.
The diagnosis was marked in the upper right of the system panel; Zheng Ren examined it carefully and saw the diagnosis: left knee joint soft tissue contusion, left knee internal cruciate ligament injury, his heart half joy, half worry.
The condition was not serious, but the ligament injury required at least two or three days of rest before he could exert himself.
It was not fatal, would leave no sequelae, but today's Shou Bing was delayed.
Zheng Ren and Director Pan came to the bedside, Director Pan greeted Professor Pei and asked about his medical history.
"It's nothing." Although Professor Pei was old, his body was sturdy; he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's just a soft tissue contusion plus a cruciate ligament contusion, nothing serious."
"Let's get an X-ray first." Director Pan was not at ease.
Professor Pei originally wanted to refuse, but could not withstand Director Pan's insistence; he still got into a wheelchair, and Zheng Ren pushed him to undergo an MRI.
The MRI results matched Zheng Ren's system panel and Professor Pei's judgment; the condition was not serious.
Professor Pei felt somewhat helpless, sighed, and said, "What about the Shou Bing?"
Zheng Ren had been pondering this; after a brief hesitation, he said, "Professor Pei, why don't you come and do a guiding Shou Bing?"
A guiding Shou Bing means the professor gives guidance from the side while a junior doctor completes the Shou Bing.
"Have you done it before?" Professor Pei's eyes lit up.
Previously he had received the information that Haicheng Shi Yiyuan had no full-time Intervention Department Doctor, but it had brand-new equipment, meeting the conditions to carry out Interventional surgery.
This was also one of the basic conditions for Longwind Micro-creation to be willing to carry out publicity in Haicheng.
"I have done a few cases, such as uterine artery embolization, renal artery embolization, and similar hemostatic Shou Bing." Zheng Ren answered truthfully.
"That would also work." Professor Pei was delighted, "If I encounter a difficult point, I can also go up on stage, but being old, my body is not as before; one leg cannot bear weight for long. Then I'll trouble you, young man."
"You are the one who has worked hard." Zheng Ren felt sincere respect for the elderly man; such medical ethics deserve superb medical skill.
The elderly man was also short-tempered; perhaps every doctor has some obsessive-compulsive tendency, and if a Shou Bing patient is not operated on, he will feel restless.
At Professor Pei's request, Zheng Ren pushed him directly to the Jizhenbingfang.
"Dingdong~~~" the System Quest voice sounded.
"Huh? Is this triggering a System Quest?"
【Continuing Quest: A Doctor's Parental Heart (II): Hope in Despair.
Quest Content: Complete one hepatic artery embolization for liver cancer.
Quest Reward: 100 skill points, 1000 experience points.
Quest Time: 4 hours.】
Chang Yue waited anxiously, but no one had time to tell her about this side. When she saw Zheng Ren pushing the wheelchair back, Chang Yue was somewhat disappointed.
Professor Pei saw Zheng Yunxia, took a detailed medical history, then went to the office to review the contrast-enhanced CT images on the computer, examined them carefully for a few minutes, and only then was satisfied.
Preoperative preparations were already completed; Chang Yue, rarely, brought Zheng Yunxia to the Operating Room.
Although she had been in the Jizhenbingfang for a while, this was still her first time going to the Operating Room; usually it was Su Yun or Zheng Ren who took patients there to undergo Shou Bing.
Upon entering the Operating Room, Professor Pei first looked at the machine and was very satisfied.
This Siemens model machine is considered advanced nationwide; performing hepatic artery interventional treatment for liver cancer poses absolutely no problem.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun began to busy themselves, preparing for the Shou Bing.
At this point, there was nothing more to say; the difference lay only in the difficulty of the Shou Bing and whether Professor Pei needed to step in.
Disinfection, laying sterile drapes—Su Yun completed all preparations; Zheng Ren had already put on the system's lead clothing, scrubbed his hands, donned the surgical gown, wore sterile gloves, began another disinfection, and performed femoral artery puncture.
……
Inside the System Space, a faint buzzing filled the air, and as usual, the Xinglin Yuan live-stream account was not activated.
After a moment, the buzzing disappeared and calm returned.
I don't know why, but this Shou Bing was not live-streamed.
……
Behind the thick lead-shielded radiation-proof glass, Professor Pei watched the two people inside busy at work and asked, "Where did Xiao Zheng learn Interventional surgery?"
Director Pan had been accompanying him all along; when Professor Pei asked such a sharp question for Zheng Ren, he immediately replied, "He probably did further training earlier; I'm not entirely sure. However, I observed the two previous hemostatic Shou Bing, and the basic operations were fine."
At this moment, Director Pan felt fortunate that Zheng Ren was not beside him.
If Zheng Ren gave a blunt answer, as he had shown in school, Professor Pei would probably fly into a rage.
This child is good in every way, just too blunt in temperament.
Zheng Ren performed the Shou Bing well, and Director Pan liked him greatly; thus even his shortcomings, in his eyes, turned into more neutral descriptors like being blunt.
"Oh, then let's see the situation." Professor Pei remained noncommittal.
Doing well in emergency Shou Bing does not mean one can do well in hepatic artery Interventional embolization Shou Bing for liver cancer.
Because emergency Shou Bing usually involves embolizing relatively thick blood vessels, which is simple to operate; whereas outpatient hepatic artery Interventional embolization Shou Bing, to achieve a better postoperative outcome, requires embolizing very fine vessels, ideally reaching fourth-order or higher arterial branches.
However, having a foundation is good; if needed, one can still step in during super-selective arterial angiography.
In the time it took to exchange a few words, the arterial sheath was already in place in the Operating Room, and the Microguidewire began entering the femoral artery.
"The two are working together very smoothly, not like novices." Professor Pei nodded.
Puncturing the femoral artery is simple if you call it simple, and difficult if you call it difficult. Although the patient was not in hemorrhagic shock, in such a remote small town as Hai Cheng, not being a professional Intervention Department Doctor, being able to get it right on the first attempt is already quite commendable.
Director Pan smiled, said nothing. Zheng Ren's Shou Bing always hits the mark on the first try; he didn't think it was that hard.
Director Pan still had some Worry, after all, he had never seen Zheng Ren perform a liver cancer interventional embolization; who knows what problems might arise.
Soon, the Microguidewire was in place, and Su Yun opened the imaging system in the Operating Room.
On the forty-inch screen in the operating suite appeared the Shou Bing image, which Professor Pei watched attentively and seriously.
The operating suite was filled with an unusual Silence, because the liver cancer interventional embolization procedure also required a perfusion chemotherapy, i. e., injecting the chemo drugs into the liver, which has far fewer side effects than systemic chemotherapy, so Xie Yiren prepared the drugs ready to go in at any moment.
Everyone else had nothing to do, but the Chu Family Sisters, Chang Yue, and Feng Xu Hui stood stiffly against the wall, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Professor Pei's train of thought.
In the Operating Room, Zheng Ren watched the black shadow of the Microguidewire under the X-ray, slowly guiding it into the blood vessel he needed.
"Super-selective level is not bad." Professor Pei praised.
