Chapter 202: 0197 Studying Under Montreal

Because he had to attend two meals in the afternoon and evening, Zheng Ren came back relatively late. After screening the patients, only seven remained.

These patients either have a simple, solitary large tumor, where the catheter just needs to be placed on the hepatic artery and drizzle iodized oil inside, or they have countless lesions less than one centimeter, cirrhotic nodules, and it's unclear how to perform the surgery.

Zheng Ren didn't care; setting aside the system task, in his eyes these were just patients, with no notion of difficulty.

As for the system task, although Zheng Ren felt envious, he adhered to a doctor's duty.

He was only there to treat and save people; other matters could wait until later.

What also interested Zheng Ren was that the patient with countless small nodular lesions had a condition similar to that of a patient known to Bu Ruotian, both belonging to the type that is hard to judge as benign or malignant.

One……

Two……

Three……

Zheng Ren had already performed similar operations at Haicheng Shi Yiyuan, with a high degree of conformity to master-level technique, and the more he did, the more proficient he became.

The doctoral student beside him stared dumbfounded.

Originally thinking everyone was joking, they called him Zheng Lao Ban.

But…… after seeing his proficient operation, the doctoral student had already knelt in secret.

He could understand a bit or two of what Zheng Ren was doing, but anything more was beyond his clinical level.

He seemed to be retrograde-searching for feeding arteries according to the tumor's slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction.

What the hell, this isn't human operation!

The doctoral student in imaging studies learns diagnosis.

Whether it's CT, nuclear magnetic resonance, or X-ray films, being able to analyze the patient's condition and learn to this extent, the doctoral student should have no problem graduating.

The specific operation…… the machine's built-in software can solve it; what era is this, still needing manual solution? It's said that in the 'ancient' period, some people also performed slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction themselves, but that was only done manually when the software couldn't keep up.

Nowadays, it's completely unnecessary.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have denounced this 'absurd' claim.

Feeling dizzy from watching, the doctoral student knew he couldn't continue; if he did, he feared he'd vomit a mouthful of old blood.

Suppressing his curiosity, he walked out of the operating room.

He feared that if he kept watching, he would faint right here.

He went to another room to check out the commotion, not knowing what they were doing there.

He quietly came to another operating room, gently knocked on the door, and whispered a greeting to Deputy Chief Zhang.

Then…… he suddenly saw that this side was also performing slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction of liver tumor……

Damn, did I encounter a ghost tonight?

An operation never seen before, and now two people are actually doing it simultaneously.

Where the hell did these monsters come from?!

"Xiao Liang, can you understand?" Chief Zhang, also bored, started chatting with the doctoral student.

"I…… I can understand……"

"Huh? You actually can understand?"

"I can understand a little." The doctoral student's head was spinning, his speech incoherent.

"Not bad, being able to understand a little is already impressive." Chief Zhang said with a chuckle, his voice lowered extremely low, "Nowadays few people do this. You have good talent; the first time you looked, you only glanced once, yet you could actually understand what he was doing."

"Uh…… it's not the first time." The doctoral student said softly.

"Oh? Who else have you seen doing this?" Chief Zhang asked with a smile.

The doctoral student gulped hard, looked outward, and said, "That side is doing it right now."

Deputy Chief Zhang also startled a moment, then realized that recently the research institute side seemed to have some activity.

Out of professional integrity and years of experience working at the unit, he suppressed his curiosity.

Don't meddle in what shouldn't be meddled with; don't ask what shouldn't be asked.

Mu Tao's operation was nearing its end, the liver tumor tissue displayed on the screen like a butcher dissecting an ox.

Deputy Chief Zhang felt astonished in his heart.

The image he had imagined when Mu Tao operated earlier, and the image now presented before his eyes, were completely different.

On Mu Tao's completed reconstruction image, besides the hepatic artery branches supplying the tumor, two tortuous vessels appeared, one originating from the diaphragmatic artery, one from the renal artery.

He could actually do that!

Seeing Mu Tao looking for the print button, Deputy Chief Zhang immediately stood up, one hand helping Mu Tao print out the film, while sighing he said, "Your skill is truly rare; is this new research by Wu Lao?"

Mu Tao smiled, his teeth very white, "I learned this from watching the surgery videos of the Mengte li'er Medical Center."

"Technically speaking, it's simply flawless." Deputy Chief Zhang remarked.

"At first I didn't realize it either; later, thanks to the Teacher's reminder and Persistence, I only went to the CT Shi to learn this technique in the past month." Mu Tao said: "I've applied it clinically twice, and the effect is very obvious."

"Youth is still good; you learn anything quickly." Deputy Chief Zhang patted Mu Tao on the shoulder, saying, "I have high hopes for you, keep it up!"

"Will do."

"Xiao Liang, I'm leaving first; don't forget to shut down the equipment, turn off the lights, and lock the door when you're done." Deputy Chief Zhang greeted the doctoral student.

"All right." Liang Boshi replied eagerly, thinking how fortunate it was. Good thing it was Deputy Chief Zhang who came; if it were his own boss, he'd surely get a scolding.

"Working this late, you really are hard at work." Mu Tao glanced over, saw the lights on in the operating room inside, and casually chatted, asking a question.

"Inside is Zheng Lao Ban from the Northeast, who came with your batch." Liang Boshi said: "He's also doing slice CT three-dimensional reconstruction."

"Huh?" Mu Tao startled a moment; he's also doing it?

That day, watching the surgery livestream at the Xinglin Yuan Surgery Livestream Room, and then, under Wu Lao's urging, studying day and night, Mu Tao barely managed to grasp the essentials of this technique, far from perfect mastery.

But just with this, Mu Tao had confidence to stand out in this selection.

In Mu Tao's view, this is almost a secret exclusive skill, the absolute skill learned from the Mengte li'er Medical Center.

Is there still someone doing 3D reconstruction in there? It probably isn't this kind of reverse-direction blood-vessel 3D reconstruction I'm doing; it's likely just ordinary machine reconstruction.

Mu Tao smiled, but at the moment of leaving, he inexplicably chose to take a glance.

From the Northeast? Are there any technical talents over there? Even if there are, they've probably all gone south by now.

Mu Tao still remembered how Professor Pei held that young doctor from the Northeast in high esteem, and also remembered how Professor Pei's senior disciple, Jin Yao Wu, felt hostile toward that young doctor.

He understood Jin Yao Wu's thinking, but a young doctor actually calling himself boss? That's too arrogant.

Boss Zheng, Boss Zheng, hehe, interesting.

"Boss Zheng? I'll go say hello." Mu Tao said with a smile.

Doctor Liang didn't think much of it, bringing Mu Tao to the operating room where Zheng Ren was.

In the operating room, Zheng Ren wasn't doing reconstruction work; instead, he was staring at a patient's 64-slice CT, lost in thought.

Mu Tao smiled.

I was just saying, how could he have mastered such an advanced technique? It's not reverse reconstruction at all—he's just reading images on the machine, wanting to look more closely.

But no matter how careful, it won't be as direct as reverse reconstruction, nor will it fundamentally change the surgery.
