Chapter 153: with translation of chapter title

Because the surgical scope of Jizhenbingfang is limited to the level of General Surgery Department, it's not that busy.

With the pressure exerted by Xiao Liu, the frequent professional medical disturbances that used to be seen have completely disappeared at City First Hospital, and Zheng Ren's days are still quite comfortable.

Three to five 120 Emergency cases per day; occasionally, departments such as obstetrics that recognize the importance of interventional surgery request consultations, letting Zheng Ren help resolve some acute bleeding patients.

Days passed, and the System's Big Pig Trotter never released a new task; recently, Zheng Ren almost forgot about the System.

Only when receiving the long-term Main Line Quest does Zheng Ren sit in front of the Thatched Hut and small pond in System Space and space out for a while.

Another half month passed, and Zheng Yunxia came for a follow-up check.

After liver cancer interventional surgery, follow-up time varies depending on the attending physician. Zheng Ren's surgical technique and postoperative management lean toward the northern school, and moreover Zheng Yunxia's condition is relatively severe, so thirty-five days is the longest time.

Zheng Yunxia was not hospitalized; she just had blood drawn and tested in the outpatient clinic, and underwent a 64-slice CT with three-dimensional reconstruction.

If it weren't for Zheng Yunxia's three-dimensional reconstruction, Zheng Ren would almost have forgotten that he still possessed a master-level skill.

Zheng Ren decided to try it himself; after all, he had a master-level skill at his disposal, but he didn't know how to use it, and whatever he thought felt off.

The next day, Zheng Yunxia's test results all came out. Liver function fully recovered; ALT and AST were only slightly above normal, and direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, and total bilirubin began returning to normal.

AFP had dropped from over 2000 to 132.

The effects of the surgery were fully manifested.

Looking at the objective test numbers, Zheng Yunxia's hand holding the report trembled involuntarily.

Her understanding of surgery came solely from Baidu, and after countless disappointments, she subconsciously held no hope for surgical treatment or any other treatment.

Because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Unexpectedly, at the most desperate moment, there was such a hand, such a group of people pulling her out of the abyss.

She took the test report to Jizhenbingfang to find Chang Yue; after looking at it, Chang Yue didn't say congratulations or anything to Zheng Yunxia, but instead took a photo of the report and posted it in the group.

While everyone was happy for Zheng Yunxia, they also began discussing the next steps in treatment.

To clearly understand the changes in malignant liver tumors, the test report can only provide part of the evidence; the most important is still the 64-slice CT.

As before, Su Yun contacted Sister Zhao, preparing to work overtime after work to finish this promptly.

Zheng Ren wasn't just thinking about the surgery; there was also an important matter—the issue of surgical credentials.

Last time, we sought Professor Pei from Modu via Longwind Micro-creation to perform the surgery; since the professor was doing the surgery, there was definitely no problem with credentials.

But if we wanted to continue treatment, constantly asking the professor would be infeasible for Zheng Yunxia.

Although the previous surgery was entirely performed by Zheng Ren and Su Yun, … rules are rules; one can skirt the edge of right and wrong, but cannot take too big a step.

It's easy to get into trouble.

Zheng Ren was very satisfied with Zheng Yunxia's test report, so the issue of surgical credentials was brought onto the agenda.

To settle this, Zheng Ren would handle it; even if it took three to five years, there would be absolutely no possibility.

So he went to Director Pan's office.

Only Director Pan, with high standing in the jianghu, could settle this. Besides, Director Pan runs errands to the offices every day when he's free, seeking people, money, and policies; this should also count as a kind of policy.

He knocked on the door, but Director Pan wasn't in.

Zheng Ren picked up the phone, found Director Pan's number, and dialed.

Sure enough, Director Pan was at the office; hearing that Zheng Ren had something to discuss, he immediately rushed back.

Sitting in the office, Director Pan first said: "Last time I told you about Professor Pei inviting you to Di Du to study new techniques; word has come again—prepare yourself, the flight is in a few days."

"Huh?" Zheng Ren paused.

"This is a great opportunity; facing such a huge platform, aren't you a bit excited?" Director Pan looked at Zheng Ren with a cheerful smile.

"Not bad." Zheng Ren answered honestly; research on new techniques is generally done occasionally by bold doctors at prefecture-level hospitals. Speaking frankly, Zheng Ren isn't particularly interested in such projects.

"Young people, be optimistic, proactive, and upward-looking." Director Pan said seriously, "Go on, what do you need from me?"

"It's also somewhat related to Professor Pei." Zheng Ren said: "A month ago, the patient whom Professor Pei came to our hospital to guide in surgery returned for a follow-up, and likely needs continued consolidation treatment."

"Hmm, continue." Director Pan pondered.

Emergency rescue has already exceeded my professional scope. But the hospital-designated Emergency Department Inpatient Chief, performing emergency interventional procedures, still has some leeway; however, doing outpatient interventional surgery is comparatively difficult.

"This matter," Director Pan chuckled; to Zheng Ren it seemed a huge issue, but to Director Pan it was just a trifle.

After a brief consideration, Director Pan said: "The hospital's Intervention Department has been shut down and transferred; related surgeries are now handled by our Emergency Department Catheter Room—we can't just watch patients suffer without helping."

The last sentence was just empty talk; Zheng Ren pretended not to hear it.

What Director Pan said earlier is the key point: without the Intervention Department, all related surgeries are handled by the Emergency Department Catheter Room.

"Is it feasible?" Zheng Ren asked cautiously.

"Of course." Director Pan laughed heartily: "On my end there's no problem; the first thing to worry about if something goes wrong is you."

"Me?" Zheng Ren blinked.

Director Pan shook his head, his face showing the expression that young people just don't consider things thoroughly.

"I'm just afraid your body can't take it, and that's only one part. Outpatient is not like emergency; I read that liver cancer outpatient surgery needs to be done multiple times. You say, what if you tomorrow find a girlfriend, need to avoid radiation and prepare for a child—then the surgery would have to stop."

"..." Zheng Ren had not considered this before.

Things like marriage and children are too far off. Zheng Ren, who stays single by his own ability, wouldn't go against his character setting; but as soon as Director Pan said that, he immediately realized: if he took on a batch of liver cancer patients and needed to avoid radiation, what would happen to the patients?

"However, this is only the most extreme case." Director Pan, obviously having thought it through, said: "We can start small—for example, with Zheng Yunxia—keeping patient numbers within a certain range. As long as the numbers are few, arranging things later will also be easier."

"Emergency, after all, still has to focus on emergency work."

Director Pan gave the final word.

Zheng Ren nodded repeatedly—ginger, the older the spicier.

"Right, go prepare. Send me a photo of your ID card; once that's done, Manager Feng of Longwind Micro-creation will book your flight for you." Director Pan's final reminder.
