Chapter 1744: with translation of chapter title

Speaking of which, Zheng Lao Ban could come from far away to perform Shou Bing on me, and along the way watched me get better; this favor is truly a lifesaving grace.

How could I have the nerve to ask Zheng Lao Ban to add trouble?

Liu Xu zhi also hesitated a bit.

"Oh? When was the appendix removed? First, explain the medical history." Zheng Ren lifted his head from behind and asked.

Li Yong instantly rejoiced, hurriedly stood up, turned and walked to Zheng Ren's side, saying, "Zheng Lao Ban, thank you so much."

"It's fine, sit down and Explain Situation." Zheng Ren smiled warmly.

When he wasn't smiling, Li Yong felt Zheng Ren was like the legendary expert. But when he saw Zheng Ren's warm, friendly smile, he was instead stunned.

The directors he had seen were all arrogant; it was uncertain whether they would even bother to listen when he stood and spoke.

This expert from Di Du, how can he be so amiable?

Could it be fake?

"How is it?" Zheng Ren, seeing him stunned, asked somewhat puzzled, "Is there anything in the medical history that's hard to say?"

"Oh, oh." Li Yong quickly apologized with a smile; regardless of whether he was a real expert, there was no need to register—just take a look.

"My spouse had lower abdominal pain five days ago, hurting for about three or four hours, then came to the hospital. At that time the Inpatient Doctor diagnosed acute appendicitis and needed an emergency Appendectomy."

I thought the junior doctor's skill might be insufficient, so I called Director Wang to look. Director Wang also said it was appendicitis, and the emergency surgery removed the appendix.

After the surgery, he showed me the appendix; I felt the inflammation wasn't typical. But it's already cut, so…

Zheng Ren felt Li Yong's speech was all over the place; if he were my subordinate doctor, I'd kick him to Chang Yue for a few months of further training before having him report the history.

"Simply put, focus on the key points." Zheng Ren said lightly, "All that talk boils down to one sentence: the Appendectomy was done five days ago, and the inflammation was atypical."

Li Yong's dark face grew even darker.

Wasn't this just a chat? How did it turn into a lecture in the blink of an eye? This time, looking at Zheng Ren, he seemed like a Di Du expert.

Liu Xu zhi noticed Zheng Ren's serious expression and took note.

It seems Zheng Lao Ban is usually gentle, but when it comes to medical matters, he is as serious as can be.

"Old Li, get to the point, Zheng Lao Ban is busy." Liu Xu zhi reminded immediately.

Li Yong nodded repeatedly, shifted his butt forward, and sat only on half the chair.

"After finishing the Shou Bing, my spouse still had stomach pain, but could tolerate it; I thought it was postoperative pain and didn't pay attention."

"After a day, the pain lessened but abdominal distension began. Everyone says postoperative appendectomy can lead to intestinal obstruction; who would have thought I'd run into it—what fate!"

"Then what happened?" Zheng Ren asked.

"After three days post-op, still no gas passage, they took a flat X-ray. Diagnosis was intestinal obstruction…"

Intestinal obstruction after appendectomy?

Zheng Ren found it somewhat hard to believe.

According to Li Yong's account, the appendicitis inflammation was not severe.

On the contrary, it's possible that the condition itself was mild, but the patient's manifested signs were severe.

But this doesn't match Li Yong's account; if the appendicitis inflammation wasn't severe, there would be little exudate, and the surgery should have been relatively smooth.

Without inflammatory exudate, the likelihood of postoperative intestinal adhesions or obstruction is low.

Moreover, if the surgery were difficult and required manipulating the intestines, he ought to know that.

"Later, following intestinal obstruction protocol—fasting, continuous GI decompression, fluid replacement—after one day they passed gas and had bowel movements, but the abdominal distension remained severe, worsening day by day, soon the belly was swollen like a pregnancy." Li Yong said, somewhat anguished.

"Then what happened?" Zheng Ren's tone sank.

"I saw her belly swollen, tapped it—didn't feel like gas—so I did a B-ultrasound." Li Yong said: "There's a large amount of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, Zheng Lao Ban, you tell me what's going on. A case of appendicitis causing peritoneal fluid."

"Later, Director Wang also couldn't help, suggesting I go to Sheng Cheng to get checked."

"Isn't it convenient that you're here to do Shou Bing for Old Liu? Could you take a look?" Li Yong asked.

"May I take a look, is it convenient?" Zheng Ren found no problem in Li Yong's account.

The account itself is a mess; listening to him, I might as well just check the medical records myself. Of course, being able to see the patient directly is best.

Li Yong hesitated a bit.

"Old Li, last time I invited Zheng Lao Ban to do Shou Bing, the little girl with the chair blast injury was the one Zheng Lao Ban operated on." Liu Xu zhi reminded.

Li Yong knew about the previous incident, but didn't expect it to be this young-looking "expert" in front of him who performed the surgery.

That incident later spread wildly through Xilin Town People's Hospital.

Everyone said the little girl had good fortune, meeting a great professor from Di Du. Who would have thought that this great professor was rumored to be very young, indeed this young.

"Zheng Lao Ban, sorry, sorry." Li Yong repeatedly apologized, "Please, this way."

"Old Liu, I'll be back after taking care of business; do you need to urinate?" Zheng Ren asked.

Liu Xu zhi felt a bit embarrassed, he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Zheng Lao Ban, you're busy; I have nothing to do on my end."

"Do not get down." Zheng Ren gave a final warning, then he and Li Yong went to the General Surgery Department.

Walking through Xilin Town People's Hospital, Zheng Ren still feels lingering fear.

What is the loneliest thing in the world?

One person performing Shou Bing.

Performing Shou Bing isn't the issue; it's encountering an emergency critical case with no one able to help.

This time, directly bringing Professor Rudolf Wagner and Feng Xu Hui and others, Zheng Ren is drawing on lessons learned.

If it weren't for Liu Xu zhi wanting to livestream the Shou Bing, Zheng Ren would definitely have brought Su Yun along.

That guy is practically a universal tool, able to try any surgery, and working with him becomes ever more perfect.

Zheng Ren is the type who learns from a single loss; asking him to perform Shou Bing alone again would probably be difficult.

Arriving at the General Surgery Department, Zheng Ren wore ordinary clothes, still somewhat hesitant, fearing that entering the office would get him chased out.

If that were the case, this matter would require many more words.

But it exceeded Zheng Ren's expectations; upon entering the office, the working doctor looked up, immediately stood up, and showed even more respect than Liu Zewei had shown toward himself.

"Zheng Lao Ban, when did you arrive?" the young doctor's humble face shone with enthusiasm and nervousness.

"Do you know me?" Zheng Ren asked strangely.

"Um…" the young doctor was a bit embarrassed, then said: "Zheng Lao Ban, last time you came for Shou Bing, I set up the table. The rod you pulled to move the electroplating chair—that was me."

"Oh oh, it's you." Zheng Ren immediately put on a standard fake smile, pretending to recognize him and greeting, "Lao Li asked me to come check on his lover's condition."

"Zheng Lao Ban, please sit." The young doctor was eager, swiftly pulling out a chair for Zheng Ren, then immediately grabbing the medical record, as if preparing to face the director's rounds.
