Chapter 1299: with translation of chapter title

After Mei Ha'er's female assistant Feishe left, Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren with a strange gaze and asked, "Boss, the left radial artery serves as the Shou Bing entry, and the right hand still needs to assist in the Shou Bing. Are you sure that at some critical moments, Mei Ha'er's left hand won't come up to help?"

"I'm not sure, but the Doctor said, this might be his last time performing Shou Bing. When he was young, he wanted to get a Nobel Prize recommendation through the cardiac stent Shou Bing technique, but he was rejected. The old man wouldn't accept it, dragging me into a fight." Zheng Ren shook his head.

Beauty fades with time,

Heroes meet their end.

This sense of loss is something ordinary people cannot feel.

If one day I grow old, my hands tremble and I can no longer perform Shou Bing, and I have an unfulfilled wish in my heart, would I also have this kind of request like Mei Ha'er?

One spends a lifetime on the operating table, and that elderly person's bizarre request in their twilight years—is it truly incomprehensible?

Who knows?

"Uh... a fight, with an old man over eighty." Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren, burst out laughing, and said, "Boss, work hard—this is the best opportunity."

Professor Rudolf Wagner excitedly clenched his fist and said, "Boss, this is a damn good opportunity; we must seize it. I can already smell the Nobel Prize medal—it's this close."

"Fugui'er, stop talking nonsense; we're still far from winning the Nobel Prize. Su Yun, you said that one day I would grow old..."

"Boss, you have a patient with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis—did you grow connective tissue in your brain?" Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren with contempt, "You're only this age? A mental illness? Should you go see a doctor?"

"I am the best doctor." Zheng Ren said: "So I worry that I've gotten sick, and you guys can't cure me..."

Just chatting a few sentences, teasing each other, when they said this, both were stunned.

Wait until you're old and sick, then you'll know.

This sentence echoed in both of their minds.

Really, is it really like that?

After a long silence, Zheng Ren cracked a smile.

"Today I admitted a patient with alien hand syndrome." Zheng Ren said.

"……" Su Yun stared wide-eyed, tacitly forgetting the previous topic, "I wasn't home, just went out for less than a day, and you guys did all this?"

"You also know about alien hand syndrome?" Chang Yue looked at Su Yun somewhat surprised.

"In this room, everyone else knows except you." Su Yun, accustomed to retorting Zheng Ren, blurted it out.

"Say it again? After work, when eating, don't chicken out." Chang Yue adjusted her glasses, saying coldly.

"Look at you, with such a bad temper, how could you get married?" Su Yun said: "Alien hand syndrome is just like a haunting. A haunting—are you scared?"

"What's there to be scared of?" Chang Yue scoffed.

She completely forgot that when she earlier listened to the patient's daughter describe the condition, she herself had felt the whole house filled with gloomy, eerie air.

"That's when you found out." Su Yun laughed: "I heard my Teacher say he once encountered a female patient with alien hand syndrome; when asking about her condition, her hand would undress itself."

"……" Zheng Ren and Liu Zewei were speechless.

This is damn scary.

More frightening than a haunting.

If someone saw it and the patient shouted a couple of indecent remarks, would they still be considered human?

"Let's not talk about this; with ghosts, one should respect and keep away." Zheng Ren said.

"Tch, you still believe it." Su Yun said: "Sadako—scary? She's also a patient. By the way, Boss, if you're looking at your phone and Sadako suddenly pops out, would you perform Shou Bing on her?"

Liu Zewei had only heard of *Ring*, hadn't seen the movie, felt nothing. Chang Yue's face turned somewhat pale, as if she were imagining the scene Su Yun described in her mind.

In an instant, Chang Yue felt the air in the room grow much gloomier.

"I won't, Hu Hai's lover Li Sumeng Teacher has done this kind of Shou Bing before." Zheng Ren said: "But if Sadako pops out, I can sit down and have a good chat with her. If the illness is cured, I guess her mental knot would also be gone. But whether a spirit can undergo Shou Bing is a question."

"Does Sadako have an illness? What illness?" Chang Yue suddenly asked.

A sick ghost, or Sadako that famous—her curiosity overcame her fear.

"The movie you watched is an incomplete version; the complete version… maybe you should read the book. Sadako has ** syndrome, she's intersex. It seems when in Hai Cheng, Director Sun performed Shou Bing and encountered this situation." (Note 1)

"Mm, I remember clearly." Zheng Ren said: "Just happened to meet Hu Hai and his lover coming to Hai Cheng to thank me; the patient's family then contacted Li Sumeng Teacher."

Chang Yue's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"What I'm saying, what's that expression? This illness just needs Shou Bing, pick a gender, then take Hormone treatment, and it's fine." Su Yun said: "It's not a major illness; you can also say you're a doctor."

"Do you drink alcohol?" Chang Yue provoked.

"……" Su Yun angrily glared at Chang Yue, but thinking that no matter what she said, Chang Yue would eventually use the drinking alcohol matter to shut her up, she lost interest, like a deflated balloon.

"By the way, Boss, the new consumables brought by Mei Ha'er and those brought by Fugui'er, I directly filed them with Lin Ge." Su Yun especially helplessly wanted to change the topic.

"Chang Yue, I ask you, you said the most difficult Shou Bing in Cardiothoracic Surgery, the one surgeons are most reluctant to perform, what is it?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Heart transplant, Su Yun has done it." Chang Yue glanced at Su Yun and said.

"Hmm, that's where the misconception lies." Zheng Ren said: "It's not that the more important the organ, the harder the Shou Bing."

"Hmm?"

"Cardiothoracic Surgery has two most difficult Shou Bing." Saying this, Zheng Ren extended a finger: "First, aortic arch replacement; Zhao Yunlong is relatively skilled at this."

"Do you know why Zhao Yunlong doesn't dare to cross me?" Su Yun said this, standing straight: "Once he couldn't perform the Shou Bing, he called for the supervisor to come up. Coincidentally I came over to play with him, just brushed my hand onto the stage, and in three hours I completed the Shou Bing."

"Hmm, this is Chang Yue's misconception." Zheng Ren smiled faintly and didn't argue with Su Yun. Chang Yue can invite him for drinks; I can't exactly invite him to compare Shou Bing, can I?

That would be too unserious.

"Second, congenital heart disease." Zheng Ren raised a second finger.

Chang Yue fell silent; in her mind, the most troublesome aspect of congenital heart disease is Tetralogy of Fallot, but the Shou Bing difficulty is just so-so.

"Fallot's tetralogy, it's not the most difficult." Zheng Ren chuckled: "In adults, the biggest is transposition of the great arteries, but in infants and young children, there are many difficulties; many simply can't undergo the Shou Bing and can't grow up."

Su Yun wanted to say something, but seeing Chang Yue's big glasses, she lost interest. No matter what she said, others invite her out for drinks in the Evening; does she dare to drink openly?

In an instant, Su Yun understood Zhao Yunlong's and their distress.
