Chapter 1773: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,289 words

The surgery ended, and Zheng Ren took off the livestream glasses.

He was very satisfied with the outcome of this surgery.

The foreign object was removed, the liver abscess was thoroughly cleaned, and the surgery was a great success.

Postoperatively, it was confirmed that the foreign object was indeed a toothpick. This was an accumulation of experience.

Although the case was very rare, initially there was no clear diagnosis; Big Pig Trotter only gave a diagnosis of liver abscess and liver foreign body. But if encountered again in the future, I would have experience.

Zheng Ren turned and stepped down from the stage, chatting and laughing with Director Luo.

"Director Luo, the preoperative diagnosis was correct; it was indeed a toothpick." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"Perhaps the patient accidentally swallowed a toothpick, which passed through the cardia and pylorus into the duodenum." Director Luo analyzed: "Because the duodenum is relatively narrow, the toothpick penetrated the intestinal wall and lodged in the liver."

"It's possible; I was thinking the same. Old Liu... a resident doctor of mine said they had seen a similar case at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital in Northern Province. However, that patient seemed unlucky—the toothpick formed a fistula between the duodenum and liver, leading to a severe condition." Zheng Ren said.

"Just removing it surgically is fine." Director Luo said with a smile.

"One can be discharged within a week; do you have any postoperative suggestions?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Normal treatment will do; antibiotics don't need to be too high-grade, and discharge will be soon." Director Luo knew Zheng Ren was being polite, didn't put on airs of a senior doctor, and just casually said a few sentences.

The two went to change clothes, and Zheng Ren received a call from Su Yun.

It was already late, preparing to go out for a bite in the evening. Zheng Ren and Director Luo were together, and he casually invited him to join for a meal.

Director Luo gladly accepted the invitation.

Being able to have more contact with Zheng Lao Ban, Director Luo was still quite willing.

Originally wanting to go eat big plate chicken, but last time I had only eaten half before running to see Zhang Xiao Hui for a check-up, leaving me somewhat unsatisfied.

But with Director Luo present, eating big plate chicken seemed somewhat improper.

Everyone in the group began discussing what to eat to be good.

Such matters have nothing to do with Zheng Ren; he doesn't even look, just waits for the final outcome. As long as he follows along, it's fine—what to eat is completely unimportant.

Director Luo was also not in a hurry, taking this time to ask Zheng Ren for some details about the endoscopic submucosal dissection surgery.

The relationship between the lens magnification and the surgical technique is what Director Luo cares about most.

Zheng Ren answered everything he knew, holding nothing back.

Zheng Ren had never considered preserving his own technical barriers.

One's abilities are limited; as for the original intention, to heal and save lives, Zheng Ren has persisted. If Director Luo wants to learn, just tell him—it's no big deal.

【They said write quickly...】

Zheng Ren took out his phone, surprised to see it was Su Yun calling. Why is she calling me?

"What's wrong?" Zheng Ren answered the phone, asking somewhat anxiously.

His first thought was that the postoperative patient's condition had changed.

While answering the phone and repeatedly thinking, the likelihood of postoperative problems was small. The system gave the surgery a completion rate of 100%, an evaluation that basically made any mishap impossible.

"Uh... you scared me."

"Okay, go to the community hospital?"

"I'm on my way."

Having said that, Zheng Ren hung up the phone.

"Director Luo, sorry." Zheng Ren felt a bit apologetic, "I just received a consultation request from Massachusetts General Hospital for a patient previously diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome who now has a new situation; they are requesting consultation and guidance."

Director Luo was stunned for a moment, the consultation request from Massachusetts General Hospital, requesting guidance on treatment.

He felt a myriad of emotions.

To say he isn't jealous would be false. Director Luo's academic standing is quite high, but not high enough for Massachusetts General Hospital to submit a consultation request.

Let alone a consultation; even if I sought a consultation from Massachusetts General Hospital, they might not bother. Not just might not—they definitely would not.

"Another day I'll treat you to a meal; today I really have something to do." Zheng Ren apologetically said.

In his view, having a meal is really not as good as looking at the medical records of a patient with cyclic vomiting syndrome.

"Cyclic vomiting syndrome? Can I come along to take a look?" Director Luo asked.

"If you're interested, just come take a look." Zheng Ren said indifferently, "Are you also interested in cyclic vomiting syndrome?"

"I've seen a few patients, all children." Director Luo laughed: "Currently, the cause and pathogenesis of this disease are unclear; the overlap of cyclic vomiting syndrome's clinical symptoms with pediatric migraine features supports the view that this disease is a variant form of migraine."

"Therefore, some scholars have proposed that mechanisms related to migraine and neuronal hypersensitivity could be the cause of cyclic vomiting syndrome."

"Hmm, but the specific pathogenesis is still unclear." Zheng Ren said: "It's said that this patient's situation is rather special; today possibly inhaling toxic gas caused a change in condition."

Toxic gas?

Director Luo also became interested.

If it's toxic gas, the condition would be more complicated and more difficult to handle.

He wasn't interested in solving Massachusetts General Hospital's case; he was only interested in how Zheng Lao Ban analyzes and judges.

How far this young man can go in the future, Director Luo also greatly anticipates.

We're all clinical people; there's no need for excessive politeness.

Director Luo asked for leave from home, saying he'd return later, left himself a meal, and then went with Zheng Ren to the community hospital's demonstration room.

This demonstration room can accommodate over twenty people; the equipment is very new, and moreover, it's all things Director Luo cannot understand.

Su Yun, Xie Yiren, Chang Yue, and Lao He were already seated inside; Professor Rudolf Wagner and Liu Zewei were not present, as they had no interest in gastroenterology cases, each going off to eat and rest.

Especially Liu Zewei, who is now almost every day in a state of utter exhaustion.

With the use of the community hospital, surgeries suddenly accelerated, and he could only cope with all his might.

As long as it had nothing to do with interventional surgery, he was unwilling to pay attention. With this time, he might as well go back and lie down in bed for a good sleep.

Recently, the workload has been enormous; Liu Zewei already feels he is on the verge of collapse.

"Director Luo, how did you come?" Su Yun saw Director Luo enter, put down her laptop, and asked with a chuckle.

Come take a look, you guys keep chatting, don't mind me.

Then I won't stand on ceremony with you; I'll hurry up and export the data on my end. Su Yun knows this equipment very well; after all, this is... my boss and my stage.

"What patient?" Zheng Ren stepped over wanting to look, but Su Yun pushed him away.

"In a moment I'll tell you on the big screen, give you a surprise." Su Yun said mysteriously.

Zheng Ren felt somewhat helpless, what equipment, I've used it too, and yet a surprise.

Xiao Yi Ren sat smiling in the back; in the big plate chicken and consultation case, she chose Zheng Ren.
