1574 Can't Understand, Go to Rheumatology Immunology

Liu Zewei gave a wry smile and said, "Zheng Lao Ban, your temper is getting better and better."

"If the patient has a problem, feels Uncomfortable, just take a quick look and give some advice." Zheng Ren felt a bit regretful and said, "It's a pity I didn't finish speaking before she left."

"Huh..." Liu Zewei wondered, hearing what Zheng Lao Ban meant, did that woman really have an illness?

"Yeah." Zheng Ren wasn't in a hurry either; Liu Zewei estimated that even if the female patient had an illness, it wasn't serious. So he also wasn't in a hurry, taking the opportunity to slack off a bit.

After spending a long time writing medical records on the computer, his eyes got a bit blurry and his cervical spine started to feel Uncomfortable.

"He's getting up there in age," Liu Zewei thought. He shook his neck while rubbing his bald head; although he wasn't doing any work, he was still quite busy.

"Zheng Lao Ban, what's the problem?" Liu Zewei asked.

"Did you notice she has acne on her face?" Zheng Ren asked.

"I noticed, it's quite Strange, someone this age still has acne." Liu Zewei said.

Chang Yue heard about the acne and turned to look at Zheng Ren.

"She must have visited many hospitals for diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc protrusion, yet it didn't improve."

"And then?" Liu Zewei found it Strange; Zheng Lao Ban's east‑and‑west remarks—what did he mean?

"There is a disease called SAPHO syndrome, characterized by synovitis, acne, Bone hyperostosis, and Bone inflammation. It is easily misdiagnosed as lumbar disc protrusion, and treatment is ineffective."

"What disease is this?"

"It's rare; I'm just saying it offhand. If she sat down and chatted more, gaining a bit of trust, I would suggest she get a PETCT or a whole-body Bone tomography scan."

"Then we could confirm the diagnosis."

"But..." Liu Zewei hesitated, his eyes flickering.

Zheng Ren knew what Liu Zewei was thinking and laughed, "Lao Liu, you're this old—why are you still thinking about all that nonsense?"

"Hehe." Liu Zewei was just joking; no harm done, and it could even bring them closer.

"I asked about chest pain because some patients also have shingles. It's not serious, but it can cause chest pain symptoms." Zheng Ren said: "I was just asking casually; who knew she would just leave."

Liu Zewei thought, Zheng Lao Ban's way of seeing patients is truly go-with-the-flow.

Patients come in randomly for consultation; he doesn't rush or panic when seeing them. If a patient is unhappy and turns to leave, he doesn't stop them, insisting on figuring out the illness.

Such an attitude is like that of an old doctor who has done clinical work for decades.

I don't even have this composure and mindset.

"Can this disease be cured?"

"It's hard to treat; there's currently no systematic approach to diagnosis or treatment. If confirmed, I would suggest she go to the Rheumatology and Immunology Department."

"Ha, Zheng Lao Ban, just send the ones you don't understand to Rheumatology and Immunology—you follow the same routine." Liu Zewei rubbed his bald head and laughed loudly.

This is a patient‑seeing routine at a large tertiary hospital.

Many diseases are quite complex, not as simple as they appear.

For such perplexing conditions, if they can't be figured out in Hai Cheng, just send the patient to the Medical University Affiliated Hospital in the provincial capital and it'll be fine.

If the doctors here can't figure it out, just send them to Rheumatology and Immunology or the Endocrinology Department.

"It's indeed a Rheumatology and Immunology disease." Zheng Ren spread his hands helplessly.

"Chief Zheng, is there no connection between young people's acne and this?" Chang Yue asked.

Zheng Ren couldn't recall Chang Yue ever having acne; seeing her so concerned, he found it a bit Strange.

"No relation, it's different. If acne suddenly appears around age fifty, you should suspect this disease."

"Oh." Chang Yue relaxed, turned back and continued working.

"Are tomorrow's patients mostly ready?"

"Mm." Chang Yue said: "Old Liu has everything ready—six surgeries, observe for a day after they're done, then transfer to the Community Hospital the day after tomorrow."

"Are there any patients here?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Outside, there are over 200 patients waiting, and people keep coming for consultations every day." Chang Yue said, "We can take in as many patients as we want."

Zheng Ren realized this must be the surge period of the Xinglin Yuan surgery livestream.

Doctors everywhere, whether they watch Xinglin Yuan or not, will receive this information within a certain time.

Perhaps it's gossip from the Zhibanshi, or perhaps from the dinner table.

Local and even large tertiary hospitals in provincial capitals have a certain apprehension toward patients with portal hypertension.

TIPS Surgery isn't something just any doctor can do.

So the number of patients keeps growing, which is foreseeable.

"Chief Zheng, I think we can admit patients to the Community Hospital and only discuss surgery on the day of the operation, thereby maximizing bed turnover as much as possible." Chang Yue suggested, "By then we could do three primary surgeries and three secondary surgeries a day—that's the limit."

Zheng Ren nodded, that should be right. If we also add Director Kong's Bed Position, performing gastric fundus and gastric left artery embolization surgeries, the daily surgery volume would be about that much.

Besides, I still have to do some surgical work when I go out to dig for wild food.

……

Two days later, the Community Hospital began admitting patients, and at the same time the first batch of postoperative patients were transferred smoothly to the Community Hospital.

Everything ran smoothly.

In the morning, after finishing today's last TIPS Surgery, Zheng Ren stepped down to change clothes.

He took out his phone and saw several missed calls.

He opened it and saw it was a call from Zou Yu.

Zheng Ren called back.

"Zou Yu, what's up?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Zheng Lao Ban, there's something; see if you have time." Zou Yu said.

Zheng Ren knew that Zou Yu and Qin Tang, following the family's arrangement, had shifted their work focus domestically, and acquisitions were proceeding in full swing.

Having money is good; when you take a liking to a small company with potential, you just directly acquire it.

Zheng Ren especially likes this simple and brutal method.

As for whether he can digest and absorb the existing company's technology, and whether staff will be lost, Zheng Ren doesn't worry about these matters.

If they're looking for me, what could they possibly want?

"Go ahead and say it," Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"Zheng Lao Ban, it's not convenient to talk on the phone; let's meet in person." Zou Yu said: "Should I come pick you up, or meet you at the hospital?"

Zheng Ren thought for a moment and said: "Is it a big deal?"

"It's about seeing a patient—not big, not small," Zou Yu said with a smile.

"Fine, then come pick me up," Zheng Ren said.

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"What does Zou Yu want with you?" Su Yun asked.

"He said it's about seeing a patient," Zheng Ren said offhandedly.

"I thought it might be about investment, and I guess it's related to this. Pay attention—this kind of thing you should ask your father-in-law about; don't just agree to it blindly," Su Yun cautioned.

Father-in-law…

Zheng Ren's expression turned stern, and he nodded.

Soon, Zou Yu drove over to pick up Zheng Ren and Su Yun.

Upon getting in the car, Su Yun directly asked, "What kind of patient?"

"Yun Ge'er, you're so anxious," Zou Yu said, covering her mouth as she laughed.
