Chapter 2008: and translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,370 words

Director Pan asked about the situation on Director Sun's side, and he was very satisfied with Zheng Ren's handling.

No wonder Director Sun said once that he would invite Zheng Ren back to do surgery and then there was no movement; it turned out he had encountered a difficult situation.

But it's also this guy's fault, hiding things. If he had spoken up earlier, wouldn't it have been resolved sooner? Director Pan doesn't care whether Zheng Ren was in Hai Cheng at the time; anyway, it's all Director Sun's fault.

Since the matter has already been resolved, there's no need to ask further.

Having prepared white coats for Zheng Ren and Su Yun, Director Pan energetically led his entourage, starting from the emergency observation room.

Under Director Pan's management, the Emergency Department and Jizhenbingfang, with the busy work of the four inpatient chiefs including Wang Zong who came to support, have expanded in scale to nearly double what it was when Zheng Ren was there.

It seems indeed that one person's strength is limited; Zheng Ren thought as he walked.

The entire Jizhenbingfang was overcrowded, with few errors in diagnosis and treatment; Zheng Ren checked everything one by one using the System Panel.

Wang Zong's technical level is still sufficient, after all he is an inpatient chief of 912. Although he is slightly inferior to Zhao Yunlong, he is also a standard young talent, and it is highly likely that he will start leading a team within a few years after returning.

Him coming to preside over the Emergency Department work in Hai Cheng is somewhat of an overqualification for the position.

After making a round of the wards, Director Pan looked at Zheng Ren and asked, "Zheng Ren, how is it?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Director, and thank you, Wang Zong." Zheng Ren replied very seriously.

"Work well in Di Du, don't constantly worry about family matters." Director Pan said with a smile.

"Mm." Zheng Ren nodded repeatedly.

Su Yun stood behind, smiling broadly.

Their boss is outwardly gentle but inwardly firm; his usual politeness is fake, for example, the time he bowed to Director Cheng in the EmergencyDepartment.

But he only shows his true obsequious self when Director Pan is present!

That obedience comes from the heart; besides, even when facing Director Kong, he puts on three parts false politeness.

Everyone went about their own business; Director Pan brought Zheng Ren, Su Yun, and Wang Zong back to his office.

Wang Daoshi sat in the office waiting for the rounds to end; he wasn't that anxious either. Yesterday his son had already gone to the special needs ward of 912 for inpatient treatment, which steadied his mood.

After a few people chatted for a while, someone knocked on Director Pan's office door.

"Come in." Director Pan said in a low voice.

Doctor Yuan pushed the door open and entered; even now, seeing Zheng Ren still made him a bit embarrassed.

Therefore he kept his gaze straight, looking at Director Pan, "Director, there's a patient with hematuria; the ultrasound shows a huge stone, but the patient's family refuses hospitalization no matter what."

"Huh? Why not hospitalize?" Director Pan asked.

"They say the stone is nothing; it will go away on its own after a while, so hospitalization isn't needed."

"Nonsense!" Director Pan was about to stand up, but Zheng Ren quickly rose and said, "Director, please rest; I'll go take a look."

Director Pan nodded.

His illness hasn't fully recovered yet; the treatment of Blue Bacteria is a very lengthy process and will definitely not be resolved overnight.

Early in the morning, full of energy, he brought Zheng Ren on a round of the wards; Director Pan looked at him and already seemed somewhat listless.

He nodded, and Zheng Ren walked toward Doctor Yuan, smiling, "Brother Yuan, let's go check it out."

Su Yun really wanted to kick him from behind, but if she could beat him, she would have done so long ago.

Yuan Li gave an embarrassed laugh, and everyone walked out of Director Pan's office together.

"What's the patient's condition?" Zheng Ren stepped out of the office, and his aura shifted instantly; the sudden change caught Yuan Li off guard.

This is the aura of a department head; Yuan Li instinctively reported the medical history: "The patient's main complaint is lower abdominal pain after urination for one month, accompanied by visible hematuria for three days, coming to our hospital for consultation."

"One month ago, the patient experienced lower abdominal pain after urination without any obvious trigger, which was not noticed at the time. Three days ago, visible hematuria appeared; at a local hospital, a routine urine test showed ++++ red blood cells under microscopy."

"This morning the patient's pain worsened, and he came to our hospital for examination. An ultrasound of both kidneys, ureters, and bladder revealed a huge stone in the bladder, approximately 5×6.5 cm."

Normally, bladder stones are expelled with the urine flow when they are small; therefore, the incidence of bladder stones is much lower than that of kidney stones and ureteral stones.

Although the probability is somewhat lower, it is still a common disease.

But a stone as large as 5–6 cm appearing in the bladder is relatively rare.

Zheng Ren came to the treatment room and glanced at the patient's System Panel.

The red indicator wasn't serious, but the diagnosis was strange—bladder foreign body.

Isn't it a stone? How could it be diagnosed as a foreign body?

If this had happened a while ago, Zheng Ren would surely have thought it was the Big Pig Trotter crashing again; but after half a year of adjustment, he has also developed some trust in the Big Pig Trotter.

Foreign body…

This diagnosis can perfectly explain why the patient's bladder stone is so huge.

In the urinary tract, foreign bodies are less common in the upper tract and more common in the lower tract; lower urinary tract foreign bodies can be further divided into bladder foreign bodies and urethral foreign bodies.

Non-absorbable sutures left after surgery, wires, plastic threads, pen refills, hair clips inserted through the external urethral orifice, etc. The duration a foreign body remains in the bladder can be short or long, up to several years or decades, often leading to infection and bladder stones.

It should be a bladder stone caused by a foreign body; Zheng Ren immediately straightened out the whole logic.

"Brother Yuan, push the bedside ultrasound machine over; I'll take a look." Zheng Ren said.

Yuan Li hesitated slightly, but didn't refuse; instead, he turned and ran to the emergency ultrasound room.

If it were when Zheng Ren first arrived, he would have felt unbalanced and wanted to drive away this parachuted young doctor; but now, Yuan Li feels no urge to oppose at all.

Wang Zong, and any doctor who will later lead a team at 912, all admire Chief Zheng wholeheartedly. As long as Yuan Li has even a little bit of confidence, he won't dare to recklessly challenge the already formidable Zheng Lao Ban.

"How long has the pain lasted?" Zheng Ren asked gently.

The patient's family member is a nearly fifty-year-old big guy, tall and stout, estimated to weigh over 200 catties.

He looked at Zheng Ren with puzzlement and asked, "Who are you? Why isn't the senior doctor seeing the patient, and you've brought a junior doctor instead?"

"He's a professor from 912." Wang Zong hurriedly explained; saying that made him feel a bit dazed.

Upon hearing "912", the burly man's attitude immediately improved.

He smiled apologetically and asked, "May I have your esteemed surname?"

"My surname is Zheng."

"Professor Zheng, my wife has been in pain for three days."

"I just had a B-ultrasound done and it said bladder stones, why aren't you hospitalized?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Doctor, there's really no need to be hospitalized." the man said.

Zheng Ren felt somewhat doubtful; he didn't look at the patient's family, but directly at the patient's expression. The couple's relationship is bad, they quarrel every day, and when sick they don't even look at each other—this is a common occurrence.

But Zheng Ren saw the patient nodding with a pained expression.
