Chapter 1311: with translation of chapter title
Afternoon 3:40, Operating Room preparation was complete.
Director Ye and Director Kong knocked and entered, interrupting the conversation between Zheng Ren and Dr. Mei Ha'er.
It was obvious that being interrupted at this moment left Dr. Mei Ha'er feeling somewhat regretful.
The discussion about that transparent ceiling ends here; we're about to go onto the operating table.
If I had met Zheng Ren a few years earlier, how much could have been—Dr. Mei Ha'er thought to himself. Back then I could still don a lead apron like a knight, fighting for glory.
Unfortunately, now I'm too old to even wear a lead apron. I can only lie on the operating table and watch Zheng Ren perform the surgery. Though called an assistant, it's really just a chance to gain experience, something Dr. Mei Ha'er is aware of.
"Zheng Boss, shall we go now?" Director Ye asked, looking at Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren nodded, looked at Dr. Mei Ha'er, and said, "Doctor, let's go do the surgery."
"I'm thirsty," Dr. Mei Ha'er murmured.
He's talked too much, Zheng Ren knows. After discussing nonstop with Dr. Mei Ha'er for two hours, Zheng Ren also gained many insights.
The discussion about that transparent ceiling ends here; we're about to go onto the operating table.
Such a forbidden zone in physics requires a great deal of time to accumulate and constant reflection before understanding can be achieved.
After gaining understanding, one must then use the reflection and summary distilled from countless years and accumulated time.
With Dr. Mei Ha'er, Zheng Ren put together the final piece of the puzzle, although it's still incomplete.
The peak remains the peak, but Zheng Ren can see it more clearly now.
Previously, many operations were done by feel, but now Zheng Ren can clearly know why he should do it this way.
Interacting with Dr. Mei Ha'er indeed brings Zheng Ren great benefits.
After the surgery succeeds, he definitely wants to spend several days chatting with Dr. Mei Ha'er.
Dr. Mei Ha'er's female assistant took out the prepared items, pushed a wheelchair, and accompanied the doctor to the catheter room.
Although the doctor can walk, he still has to serve as an assistant; even a little bit of his limited strength is valuable, and this is Zheng Ren's strong request.
Upon arriving at the catheter room, Director Yan and Vice President Yuan were already there. They each exchanged words with Dr. Mei Ha'er, while Zheng Ren took the opportunity to scrub up and went to the system operating room for a final pre-surgery training session.
"Ding dong~"
As Zheng Ren entered the system operating room, the system quest's notification sound also came through.
"Huh? One surgery, double quests?" Zheng Ren blinked in surprise.
This kind of thing is still happening for the first time. It seems that even a big pig trotter pays close attention to performing surgery on Dr. Mei Ha'er.
【Main Line Quest: Recognition.
Quest content: Use superb technique to conquer and gain recognition from the other judges.
Quest reward: 1,000,000 experience points, Luck +6.
Quest time: 24 hours.】
The quest reward is simple—a string of zeros that dazzled Zheng Ren's pay-to-win dog eyes.
One million experience points equates to eleven and a half days of surgical training time. This is a huge fortune, and it seems he could soon live a life of abundance again.
And the Luck +6 indicates that this quest is exceptional.
In previous quests, Luck was always +2. Zheng Ren relied on continual accumulation to raise his Luck to +18.
Now they directly demand +6, and his heart stirred.
"Boss, I keep telling you you keep rushing in but not scrubbing—are you dizzy? Don't count on me to do this surgery; I'm just a stand-in. I can't perform a coronary stent procedure."
Zheng Ren blinked, realizing he'd been looking at the quest and forgot he hadn't entered the system operating room; time was still passing.
He didn't go out to talk to Su Yun; instead, he dove straight into the system operating room and began surgical training.
In previous surgical trainings, Zheng Ren could barely complete them no matter what.
But this time, an unexpected change caught him off guard.
The experimental subject was unusually uncooperative, as if it didn't want to be an assistant and kept wanting to operate on its own.
The surgery failed……
The surgery failed……
The surgery failed……
Zheng Ren was speechless, and he began cursing in his heart.
"Can't Dr. Mei Ha'er show a little restraint? This is surgery on him, a matter of life and death—why does he keep causing trouble here?"
Let alone properly understanding the concept of turbulence; even a normal surgery can't proceed smoothly.
Zheng Ren was anxious and burning inside.
The surgical training time was dwindling, while the experimental subject kept causing trouble, like a child who has just begun to cognize the world and finds everything curious.
In the system operating room, Zheng Ren struggled with an experimental subject that lacked self-awareness yet kept causing trouble.
: …… No.
: …… No.
Su Yun found it strange; Zheng Ren's condition was not right.
Like a fool, he turned on the faucet and stood there dazed.
Probably because the surgery is too important, even someone like Zheng Ren, who usually doesn't care about anything, feels the pressure.
Although he says he's not interested in the Nobel Prize, his body is still honest.
But he himself is quite the opposite; this is something Su Yun has always been proud of.
He belongs to the type of person whose energy erupts more violently under greater pressure. Similar to a couple of days ago when he performed a demonstrative liver and gallbladder dissection in the imperial capital, Su Yun's condition was superb beyond compare.
Today, the boss shouldn't faint; the surgery should be done by himself.
Su Yun is somewhat worried, but he doesn't mind.
When talking about cardiac anatomy, how to avoid inducing myocardial ischemia, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation and other complications after Catheter insertion, Su Yun was quite confident that his/her level was also among the best in the world.
There are hardly any who are stronger than him.
In interventional procedures, among all doctors, who has done animal dissection experiments? Su Yun back then had performed over a thousand surgical dissections; it can be said his hands are stained with blood.
Back then, he radiated a killing aura; even the mice in the dormitory vanished without a trace.
Speaking of proficiency in dissecting the heart and aorta, plus understanding of interventional surgery, if it weren't for Zheng Ren, whose depth is still unfathomable to this day, Su Yun could proudly say he is number one in the world.
Even if the boss backs down, I'm not afraid—I'm still here.
Su Yun thought so. Deep down, he felt some anticipation. Perhaps this was the best chance for him to surpass the boss.
On the biggest stage, to reverse a raging flood on the verge of collapse, to support a great building about to fall—that feeling is truly great!
"Oh, I was thinking about turbulence." Zheng Ren replied lightly.
Still holding on! Su Yun's worry deepened a bit. Seeing Zheng Ren's fatigued state as he spoke gave him a bad feeling.
Even after doing surgery in lead clothing for three days and nights in Pengxi Township, Zheng Ren didn't seem this fatigued. He must be under too much pressure, unable to catch his breath.
Thinking of this, Su Yun smiled and comforted: "Boss, don't overthink it; if there's a problem, I'm here."
"……" Zheng Ren froze for a moment, then glanced at Su Yun.
"What kind of look is that?" Su Yun asked unhappily.
"Your task is to pay attention to Doctor Mei Ha'er's movements, be careful the guidewire doesn't get contaminated. The surgery will have no problems—rest assured about that." Zheng Ren said lightly.
This guy still talking tough, Su Yun smiled and didn't retort to Zheng Ren.
"The head nurse of the operating room will personally go on stage, and Director Zhang Lin will also wear lead clothing into the operating room." Su Yun said, "It's the first time so many people are standing in the operating room."
"Oh, if you need medication, just say so—don't listen to them." Zheng Ren said firmly.
Su Yun liked this domineering attitude.
It's a pity Director Zhang Lin isn't the type who's clueless and likes to provoke; if there were a few such people, how great that would be.
Su Yun sighed a little.
It's a pity that among countless medical students, few stand out enough to secure a place in a top-tier national tertiary hospital.
If only Zhao Wenhua hadn't taken leave, Su Yun felt regret while scrubbing in. Thinking of this, he inexplicably felt some fondness for Zhao Wenhua.
"Right, Lao He has arrived, Director Xu is a bit displeased." Su Yun said.
"Nothing much, just basic anesthesia later—fentanyl, propofol; even intubation and ventilator won't be needed, so Director Xu isn't required." Zheng Ren said.
"Boss, you had better give Director Xu an explanation for this, or I'm worried there will be problems." Su Yun was careful in his interpersonal dealings.
Constantly sparring with others yet living quite comfortably—there's a reason for that.
"Let's talk after it's done." Zheng Ren's whole mind was on the surgery.
After scrubbing in, the two entered the operating room.
The instrument nurse was already ready.
