~6 min read 1,189 words

Lao He came here for the first time, he was a bit cautious.

Seeing Su Yun busy, Zheng Ren was shooed to the side, and Lao He felt a stir in his heart.

"Zheng Lao Ban, I found some cases of endotracheal tube misplaced into the esophagus; I am summarizing them, and I will send them to you once I finish." Lao He said softly.

"Huh?" Zheng Ren tilted his head, glanced at him, and smiled, saying, "You know."

"Well, I asked the on‑duty Lao Cui that day, and he told me. I thought you would be interested in this case, so I collected some cases in the anesthesiologists' group." Lao He saw Zheng Ren's eyes light up, knowing he had done right.

"How many cases?"

"In my anesthesia group, someone has encountered it, but the total number is less than 10 cases. I still need to look up related materials and add some data from medical journals; it should still be considered sufficient." Lao He said.

"Thank you for the thought." Zheng Ren smiled.

"Hehe." Lao He chuckled, saying, "As long as Zheng Lao Ban is satisfied."

Zheng Ren knew Lao He's thoughts; this kind of thing needed no guessing—Lao He never hid anything, and even feared that he himself wouldn't know.

It's pretty obvious, right? I suppose so.

Lao He's skill is not bad; Zheng Ren doesn't mind having an anesthesiologist of sufficient skill by his side.

As for whether he has other thoughts, Zheng Ren doesn't care. As long as he can work, having other ideas is normal.

"Boss, it's ready; may I present first?" Su Yunxing said excitedly.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded, turned, and sat beside Xie Yiren.

"This is a consultation case from Massachusetts General Hospital." Su Yun said, the lights in the room dimmed, then the overhead light brightened like a shadowless lamp, brilliantly bright with a hint of sanctity.

Lao He felt Su Yun was born to be on stage. Without saying more, this kind of "show" alone would make countless girls scream.

It was no different from a concert scene. Although Lao He had never attended a concert, in his imagination a concert should look like this.

Director Luo smiled slightly; young people wanting to show off is not a problem. He cared more about what kind of case Massachusetts General Hospital would use to consult Zheng Lao Ban and how Zheng Lao Ban would resolve it.

"A 39‑year‑old woman with cyclic vomiting syndrome and multiple substance use disorders presented to Massachusetts General Hospital with abdominal pain and vomiting one day ago. Two months prior to this visit, she had been treated for abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting."

Su Yun said, and the image appeared on the screen.

A 3D image, lifelike and dazzling.

Zheng Ren froze for a moment and asked, "Su Yun, what equipment is this?"

"These are items from the technology list for Chu Nu Ang Sai when we were in Nanyang." Su Yun proudly laughed, saying, "The latest product from Cavendish Laboratory—just a server… never mind, you have no idea about money, so I won't mention it. Let's start the case. I'm saying, Boss, can you be serious?"

"…" Zheng Ren hadn't expected Chu Nu Ang Sai to actually follow through on what was agreed back then; he had long forgotten about it.

The patient's symptoms resembled the attacks previously thought to be caused by cyclic vomiting syndrome.

After admission, tests for Clostridioides difficile toxin, fecal white blood cells, and stool ova and parasites were all negative; stool culture showed normal intestinal flora. Urine toxicology screening was positive for cocaine and opioids.

Su Yun said, and the image changed.

As his explanation proceeded, images of Clostridioides difficile toxin, white blood cells, and other lab tests immediately appeared as three‑dimensional figures beside him.

Even the test results included 3D models of bacteria and viruses such as Clostridioides difficile toxin.

Zheng Ren was speechless; Su Yun just loves these flashy tricks.

Lao He stared, mouth agape—was this a consultation, or merely a showcase of new technology?

Director Luo also unconsciously opened his mouth wide; he had never seen such a display in his life. Has technology really advanced this far?

Truly unimaginable!

Especially the light and shadow on the 3D models of viruses and bacteria such as Clostridioides difficile toxin were lifelike; the light and shadow floated and could even sway gently.

At that moment, Su Yun seemed like a miniature figure wandering inside the human body, her black hair fluttering over her forehead in a wild, unrecognizable way.

"After intravenous contrast, abdominal and pelvic CT showed bilateral punctate, non‑obstructive kidney stones, no hydronephrosis."

No signs of bowel obstruction or acute inflammation in the abdomen or pelvis were seen. The premenopausal ovaries were normal, containing functional follicles.

Su Yun said, and the image beside her changed again.

It was not just a plain CT scan; there were also 3D reconstructions.

A little strange, but indeed impressive!

Zheng Ren automatically dismissed those flashy tricks, keeping only the useful information in his mind.

According to the CT, there was no enteritis or intestinal tumor, only kidney stones. The stones were not large and were not lodged in the ureters.

The kidneys showed no hydronephrosis, only a few stone shadows.

In other words, the abdominal pain should not be attributed to the kidney stones.

Saying this, Su Yun paused slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Damn, the transmission of the medical records over there is a mess." Su Yun muttered, spoiling the atmosphere.

Zheng Ren smiled; this demonstration was rushed, so he couldn't blame Su Yun.

"Twelve hours before this visit, the patient inhaled smoke from an electrical fire in the basement of her home."

"After inhaling the smoke, she developed left lower‑abdominal pain and severe fatigue, yet she did not seek medical care. On the day of this visit, her menstruation began; upon waking she felt nauseous and vomited large amounts of dark‑brown fluid."

"The last temperature reading was 39.4 °C."

"Smoke? Smoke from an electrical fire?" Zheng Ren's brows furrowed.

"The patient reported persistent nausea, vomiting, and left lower‑abdominal pain."

"Her past history includes kidney stones, asthma, allergic rhinitis, chronic back pain, depression, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and severe dysmenorrhea. Surgical history includes shoulder joint replacement, RF reduction mammoplasty, and ovarian cystectomy."

Lao He clicked his tongue, remarking that people really differ; even a reduction mammoplasty is done… In China, one only hears of breast augmentation, never of anyone electing to have a reduction.

Tsk tsk.

"The patient had been unable to work for three months due to cyclic vomiting syndrome; this time, because her condition worsened and she had abdominal pain symptoms, she came to Massachusetts General Hospital for readmission and treatment."

"The current physical exam is being done by the doctors over there; the data will be transmitted shortly."

Having finished, Su Yun turned in a circle under the shadowless lamp's light, placed her right hand on her waist, and gave a slight bow.

Damn handsome.

"That's all for the temporary medical record; please, Boss, give a diagnosis."

"\"...... \" Zheng Ren remained silent."

"Give a diagnosis, give a damn diagnosis!"
