Chapter 2150: with translation of chapter title

"Boss, what are you thinking?" Su Yun asked the patient's family about the medical history, seeing the patient himself was in great distress, with myocardial injury and respiratory failure both present, merely sustained by medication, he wanted to ask Zheng Ren's opinion.

But when he turned around, seeing Zheng Ren folding his arms and looking at the patient, Su Yun almost burst out laughing from anger.

Is he looking at the film, or doing physiognomy? This posture is too familiar.

Seeing Zheng Ren had no reaction, Su Yun nudged him with his elbow and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"

"Er..." Zheng Ren already had a rough idea, and said in a low voice, "Come on, let's go see the hospital-wide consultation."

"Huh? You've figured it out?" Su Yun sounded somewhat surprised.

"I still agree with Professor Gu's approach." Zheng Ren said, "We'll talk after we get there."

The two spoke very softly, after all they were in the ward. Normally, such a manner of speaking would not be displayed in front of the patient's family.

Because they were whispering to each other, at first glance they didn't look like good people.

Moreover, for the patient or the patient's family, this behavior is a relatively important piece of evidence—the condition is complex and uncontrollable. Otherwise, why wouldn't the doctors dare to speak loudly?

Sneaky, they must have something shameful to hide.

But Zheng Ren and Su Yun couldn't consider all that at the moment; after speaking, Zheng Ren walked straight out of the ward, Su Yun said a couple of sentences to the patient's family to try to calm their emotions, and then followed him out.

"Boss, what do you think?"

"I see the pump at the bedside has given furosemide; I estimate that the cardiotonic and diuretic treatment for heart failure has already been administered. There's about 100 ml of urine in the urine bag, and the patient's condition has eased somewhat."

"The patient is undergoing physical cooling, he's a bit dazed, I estimate his temperature is at least 38.5°C." Su Yun added the details he had observed.

At this point, whatever we say is just speculation; we're merely supplementing each other's observations, and we'll cross-reference with the patient's records during the hospital-wide consultation.

In a short time, that's all we can do, Su Yun thought.

As for why the boss agreed with Old Gu's opinion, that remains unknown.

The situation is now urgent; after the hospital-wide consultation, they will decide on the current diagnosis and next-step treatment. Once a conclusion is reached, if they want to reverse it, they would at least need to organize another hospital-wide consultation.

"Knock knock knock~" Su Yun knocked on the door.

The office door opened, the Inpatient Chief of the Obstetrics Department opened a crack, and Su Yun immediately slipped his foot inside.

"Huh? The hospital-wide consultation?" Su Yun broke into a smile, "We're here to find Big White..."

Saying that, he had already squeezed his way in.

"What a thick-skinned person," Zheng Ren thought to himself.

Lin Ge saw Zheng Lao Ban and Su Yun come in, feeling somewhat amused in his heart. Zheng Lao Ban's level is indeed high, but this style of insistently wading into murky waters will inevitably lead to mistakes.

For example, today's case is quite difficult to handle. Zheng Lao Ban has come... probably won't be of much use.

But our current cooperation with Zheng Lao Ban is in the honeymoon phase, so he's willing to listen, let's hear him out.

If there could be another diagnosis... Lin Ge felt a glimmer of hope rise in his heart.

"Zheng Lao Ban, Doctor Su has come, have a seat for a moment, wait a bit for me." Lin Ge offered a step.

Su Yun cheerfully took two chairs, squeezed to the computer in the corner, and shoved the thin, tall male doctor sitting there to the side.

"Big White, move aside a bit, you're so clueless." Su Yun scolded.

When entering, hearing Su Yun call him Big White, now seeing this person, Zheng Ren glanced at him, noticed his name tag was slightly askew, and could see the words "rheumatology immunology" written on it, guessing he was Professor Gu.

But why he's called Big White, I don't know.

Zheng Ren didn't bother with that either, and immediately began sitting at the computer to review the medical records, lab tests, and imaging data, cross-referencing them with the earlier diagnosis of Big Pig Trotter in the ward, tracing backward to find evidence.

"Continue." Seeing Zheng Lao Ban quiet down, Lin Ge said lightly.

"The urology department considers urinary tract tuberculosis untenable, possibly related to a systemic disease, because the bladder capacity is too small, taking a bladder wall biopsy carries high risk, and cystoscopy also poses considerable risk." A professor of urology continued the previous discussion.

Afterwards, the professor of respiratory medicine began to speak.

The chest X-ray showed marked thickening of the lung markings, mainly in the right lower lung; high-resolution chest CT revealed no definite infectious foci. He offered no valuable suggestion, merely saying to administer anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment, then observe and see later.

This is a fairly common routine.

Over twenty minutes of discussion, Zheng Ren reviewed the medical records while keeping his ears open.

Finally, Lin Ge gave a light cough and said, "Based on the above opinions, the patient..."

"Director Lin, I haven't spoken yet." The "Big White" shoved aside by Su Yun said stubbornly.

"Little Gu, what else do you think?"

"I still think it's systemic lupus erythematosus." Professor Gu said, "The patient..."

"Professor Gu, your treatment plan last time caused the patient to develop heart failure." The chief of obstetrics interrupted him.

It's obvious the obstetrics chief is somewhat indignant, but during the hospital-wide consultation, there's no way to point at Professor Gu's nose and yell at him.

A single diagnosis and treatment directly worsened the patient's condition, making the obstetrics department's situation even more perilous; who wouldn't be angry?

Professor Gu furrowed his brows, very stubborn, neck stiff, with no thought of retreat, "The conventional treatment has had no effect; perhaps the intensity wasn't enough, I recommend shock therapy!"

Lin Ge looked at Professor Gu helplessly; this person is also considered a rising star of the 912 cohort, one of the youngest team-leading professors.

How can his temper be so stubborn? After giving hydrocortisone hemisuccinate and cyclophosphamide, the patient's symptoms deteriorated sharply—didn't he notice?

And still want shock therapy...

The patient can't even tolerate normal-dose therapy; if we give shock therapy, the patient would directly suffer multi-organ failure—what would we do?

This is no joke, nor is it someone picking a fight just to save face.

Not even wanting to think about further troubles down the line, just the thought that a life might wander further down the wrong path until it disappears is enough to make Lin Ge irritable.

Most importantly—Zheng Lao Ban has been here for over twenty minutes and hasn't said a word.

The condition is complex, what's the point of saying more?!

"Professor Gu, your plan has already been tried; as for whether it's systemic lupus erythematosus, I still need to continue communicating with Director Jiang." Lin Ge said in a low voice.

"Director Lin, you should call Director Jiang right now and have him come to the hospital-wide consultation." Professor Gu still refused to compromise, not even realizing whether he missed the threat in Lin Ge's words or simply deemed them unworthy of notice.

Seeking the department head might mean a punishment is coming.

But he is still stubbornly persisting.

Lin Ge was somewhat annoyed, saying: 'System...'

"Director Lin, may I say a few words?" Zheng Ren suddenly lifted his head, a smile on his face.
