Chapter 1726: 1667 Absolutely Impossible to Foresee in Advance (Alliance Leader National Scholar Never Seen Peerless Extra Chapter 4)

"What a waste!" Su Yun sneered, "It's nothing big."

Zheng Ren knew that Su Yun was just saying that. If his mental fortitude were really as good as he claimed, he wouldn't have gone back to Hai Cheng back then, preparing to quit medicine and become a veterinarian.

To be honest, if Su Yun gave up clinical work, it would truly be a huge loss.

One look and you'd see; this kind of talent really leaves Zheng Ren speechless.

"Yun Ge'er, you really scared me." Lao He sighed and said, "At first I could be sure that when I inserted the needle, I definitely wouldn't hit a blood vessel. But the more I thought about it, the more nervous I got, to the point that I couldn't even be sure whether I had inserted the needle at chest 12–lumbar 1 back then."

"You have a compulsion, just like that female patient a couple days ago who compulsively wiped her lipstick." Su Yun sneered.

"Sigh." Lao He sighed again. "Zheng Lao Ban, Yun Ge'er, you two, how can endometrial tissue end up in the spine?"

"Normally, endometrial ectopia is most commonly seen in the pelvic cavity." Zheng Ren said, "But there have also been reports of metastasis elsewhere, mainly in the limbs..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Yun and smiled: "When we were in Hai Cheng, we encountered a female patient with endometrial ectopia of the finger."

"Whenever you run into a troublesome female patient, you just push me to the front." Su Yun sneered.

"Even if you wore two masks, they couldn't hide your peerless looks." Zheng Ren joked.

Lao He felt a bit nauseous.

"Mm, after all this time, you finally said something true." Su Yun nodded, feeling uneasy.

If Lao He weren't so drained, he would definitely have commented further. But after all that back-and-forth, he felt like he'd been on a roller coaster, with no energy for that.

"Zheng Lao Ban, Yun Ge'er, if we encounter this in the future, how should we handle it?" Lao He thought ahead.

"How should we handle it?" Su Yun widened his eyes, looked at Lao He, and asked, "Are you a doctor?"

"Anesthesiology specialist, attending physician." Lao He said.

"Then why are you asking? Of course it's just luck." Su Yun laughed, "If you run into it, consider yourself unlucky—most people never encounter it in a lifetime."

"……"

As a salted fish, Lao He never imagined his luck would be so bad that he'd end up in this situation.

Fortunately, Zheng Lao Ban was there; otherwise he'd likely have to pack up and roll away. As for whether he has a practice license and could still make a living outside, he couldn't even think about it for now.

"Before surgery there were no special symptoms; even an appendicitis case couldn't warrant a full-body check. Wanting to predict it in advance is simply impossible."

Having said that, the topic has reached a dead end, with no way to resolve it.

But after this incident, Lao He also gained some experience.

If a similar situation arises next time, he won't panic.

He just hopes he never encounters it in his lifetime.

The incidence is already low, and with spinal involvement... frankly, most anesthesiologists would never see a case in their entire career.

Lao He chatted for a while, and his emotions gradually stabilized.

Although he was still a little frightened, his full recovery would take a few days. But seeing his expression, Zheng Ren knew he was alright.

The worst thing is an urgent matter that makes one feel stifled; a surge of anger bottled up inside would likely lead to a serious illness.

Lao He appeared cautious and careful, but the more someone is like that, the harder it is for them to accept an unusual situation.

"It's fine, go home and rest; you're on the night shift today." Zheng Ren reassured, smiling.

"Sigh, it's not that easy." Lao He said: "Taking advantage of today's incident, I still need to go sit at Director Xu's place. Last time I went to Nanyang, from the big red envelope, I'll take out some money to give Director Xu a gift."

"Why?" Zheng Ren asked, puzzled.

"Isn't it just because Lao He wants to follow our medical team?" Su Yun said.

"No need to go through all that trouble; I can just call Director Xu." Zheng Ren said.

"That wouldn't be troubling you, Zheng Lao Ban, would it?" Lao He, knowing the situation, said: "Director Xu today also wanted to look out for me; although nothing happened in the end, I still need to express my thanks. Otherwise, Director Xu would have a grudge, and nothing would go smoothly for him later."

"Lao He, you're not bad at handling worldly affairs, are you?" Su Yun asked: "Then why have you never brought it up before?"

"Yun Ge'er, don't mention it." Lao He sighed: "Every time I try to bring up a promotion, something goes wrong; it's been like this for years."

"Are you aiming to become a team-leading professor, then take charge of our group's surgeries?" Su Yun looked at Lao He with a smirk.

Lao He froze for a moment.

For such a matter, he planned to wait for an opportunity, to speak when Zheng Lao Ban was in a good mood.

But after thinking it over, he felt today was too busy and chaotic, and he still owed Zheng Lao Ban a huge favor, so the timing wasn't right.

But he didn't expect his thoughts to be laid bare by Su Yun.

He felt a bit worried, glancing sideways at Zheng Ren, fearing that Zheng Lao Ban would flatly refuse.

"It's fine; go talk to Director Xu first, and in a couple days I'll find a chance to mention it to him." Zheng Ren smiled: "I've thought about this—should you approach Director Xu directly, or have Director Lin help you speak to him?"

"Zheng Lao Ban, this... is really embarrassing." Lao He rubbed his hands and said.

"It's nothing; I'm more at ease with you handling anesthesia. When we do surgeries abroad, the few you've completed have all gone well, which also benefits me." Zheng Ren laughed.

"Lao He, don't rush the pleasantries—go home, get some sleep, then tonight go to Director Xu's place to express your thanks."

Lao He grinned, thinking to himself whether this counted as turning misfortune into blessing?

In the struggle with those twin sisters, did I come out on top?

No! I'm just getting carried away.

The moment that thought arose, Lao He came to his senses.

I absolutely must not let my guard down.

Before even joining the medical team, I'm already getting cocky—am I just waiting for Zheng Lao Ban to do me in?

After a bit more small talk, Lao He received a phone call.

He felt a bit apologetic as he picked up his phone and stepped aside to make the call.

"Boss, what should we eat tonight?" Su Yun asked lazily.

"Just eat whatever."

"I suggest you eat something tasty." Su Yun smiled: "Ning Shu will be back in a couple days."

"……" Zheng Ren's heart jolted; he instantly realized Su Yun was using Ning Shu to strike at him.

Damn it! Zheng Ren glared at Su Yun.

Su Yun exhaled, his black hair drifting loosely over his forehead, looking damn handsome.

Soon, Lao He returned with a strange expression.

"What's wrong? Any trouble?" Seeing Lao He's expression, Su Yun asked directly.

Er...

Don't hem and haw—be decisive." Su Yun said contemptuously: "If you've got something to say, spit it out; if not, I'm leaving.

I have an acquaintance back home who said he had a headache and a lump on his body; he claimed the lump seemed like a living thing that could move back and forth on its own." Lao He stammered.
