Chapter 2242: 2164 Heart Attack (Alliance Leader's Sturdy Rice Cake Bonus Chapter 4)

Lin Ge was accompanying a group from the UK King's Hospital for academic exchange.

Although the liver transplant surgery wasn't performed by them, this was still part of the academic exchange. Moreover, you can't compare with Zheng Lao Ban; compared to others, Dr. Gai De·Wu Zi is still very strong.

With the planned process, after several exchanges and lectures, Gai De·Wu Zi finally explained the many points to note about liver transplantation by referring to the recorded surgery live broadcast.

Watching Gai De·Wu Zi excitedly explaining the surgery on stage, Lin Ge felt somewhat puzzled.

Including the early morning of that surgery day, Dr. Gai De·Wu Zi had watched the surgery recording many times and explained technical details repeatedly. Why was he still so excited, like a child?

The phone rang, and Lin Ge glanced at it—it was an internal number from the operating room.

Really annoying, but all this will soon have nothing to do with me. A promotion, becoming head of the Science and Education Department, is right ahead.

Everything had proceeded as expected; Lin Ge remained composed, suppressing his inner excitement and keeping his sharpness hidden.

I hope it's nothing serious; if I had to handle a major medical dispute on the eve of my promotion, that would be screwed up, wouldn't it?

"Hello." Lin Ge answered the call, lowered his voice, and walked out of the venue.

"Mm, mm." He listened to the report from the other side, responding with murmurs.

"Mm, mm, mm."

"Mm… mm?"

When Lin Ge heard it was a transurethral resection of the prostate, he inexplicably felt annoyed. Such a trivial surgery, yet they had to call him.

But when Zheng Lao Ban's name was spoken by Lao He, everything changed.

Lin Ge felt a bit of a headache.

Zheng Lao Ban usually treats the senior directors with respect, not to mention his own Director Kong. Calculating digestion, hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal, ultrasound, CT… all the way through, even Lin Ge was stunned.

Zheng Lao Ban's relationship with this group of directors seemed very close; even in the obscure pathology department, his rapport with Director Zhi was good as well.

What's going on today? What happened, causing such a commotion?

"I'm going to the operating room right now." Lin Ge prepared to "handle things on-site" to resolve the issue.

Anything involving Zheng Lao Ban is a major matter and absolutely cannot be neglected.

He greeted someone from the Science and Education Department, said if anything came up they should call him, and then hurried off to the operating room.

As he walked, Lin Ge pondered; from Lao He's tone it seemed Zheng Lao Ban had performed a surgery, and then he heard an explosion.

The patient was fine, but Director Liu had to step down; Zheng Lao Ban said the patient had a problem and insisted on opening the abdomen.

Zheng Lao Ban is still too young; even if he knows the principle that talent in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, he cannot put knowledge into practice.

His sharpness is already too exposed; at this point, hiding his light and nurturing obscurity, waiting for his academic status to gradually rise—wouldn't that be good?

Thinking this, Lin Ge froze for a moment.

Does Zheng Lao Ban need to hide his potential dangers? In my view he is indeed overly sharp, but in his eyes, a Nobel Prize awaits ahead.

Advancing bravely and vigorously, seizing the Nobel Prize in one push—Zheng Lao Ban follows this rhythm.

But… what are you doing meddling in urology department affairs?

Lin Ge felt somewhat confused.

Clinically speaking, even if you dislike others' ways of doing things, you should still go along with the crowd. What Zheng Lao Ban is doing is problematic.

This is a landmine; I need to do ideological work on Director Liu, ensuring Zheng Lao Ban doesn't give anyone a handle to attack him.

His hurried pace slowed, and Lin Ge began to understand the truth of what happened in the operating room.

Bit by bit, as details were uncovered, a plan formed in Lin Ge's mind.

Arriving at the operating room, entering the changing room, Lin Ge smiled and gestured to Zheng Lao Ban, then greeted Director Liu.

He didn't speak, but started changing clothes while observing the expressions of Zheng Lao Ban and Director Liu.

After changing clothes, Lin Ge smiled and said, "Zheng Lao Ban, Dr. Gai De·Wu Zi's lectures are still excellent, clear and thorough. He fully endorses your liver transplant technique and gets especially excited each time he explains the surgical process."

Zheng Ren smiled and said nothing.

"These are minor matters, Zheng Lao Ban; may I first have a few words with Director Liu?" Lin Ge requested permission.

"Mm, I'll go check on the patient." Zheng Ren said, then stood up and left.

Su Yun turned her head to glance at Lin Ge and Director Liu, said nothing, and followed Zheng Ren out.

"Director Liu, could you briefly explain what happened?" Lin Ge said with a smile.

Director Liu felt somewhat depressed; this situation arose from differing opinions on the diagnosis and treatment of a complication.

At bottom, it's an academic issue. But Zheng Lao Ban, an intervention department doctor, is telling a big chief of urology who personally performed the surgery what to do—is that appropriate?

Full of resentment, Director Liu explained the situation to Lin Ge.

Lin Ge pondered, then said, "Director Liu, emotionally speaking, I support you."

Director Liu had weathered many storms; hearing Lin Ge say that, his heart turned cold. Although it sounded like support, the whole statement taken together let him guess what Director Lin would say next.

"Regarding the patient's complication, I thought of a solution on the way; let me hear if it works for you." Lin Ge said.

Director Liu was doubtful.

"You're unwell, suffering a myocardial infarction, needing emergency treatment and unable to continue the surgery. The Inpatient Chief consulted the Medical Department; a consultation on the operating table decided to switch to open-abdomen treatment."

"……" Director Liu was speechless.

"If that's the case, and Zheng Lao Ban's judgment is correct, with the patient's secondary injuries handled, even if the family has objections it won't be too big. The Medical Department will try to bear the communication and coordination with the family."

"If your judgment is correct, then opening the abdomen is unnecessary; it would be a misdiagnosis, and the surgery would have nothing to do with you. It's the Medical Department taking the lead, a consultation on the operating table, and finally producing the emergency plan."

A transurethral prostate resection ended up like this, and Director Liu said he could not accept it.

But Lin Ge's proposal is a compromise, with the Medical Department bearing the greatest responsibility and taking the blame.

Has the little Zheng Lao Ban's momentum become this fierce? Director Liu felt somewhat at a loss.

"This is the best solution I could think of; Director Liu, if you're not at ease, find a nearby team-leading professor to come take a look. If there are problems, isn't our powerful Medical Department still here?" Lin Ge said with a smirk.

"Uh……" Director Liu thought it over, finally sighed, and agreed to Lin Ge's plan.

I myself, had a myocardial infarction.

That's also fine—jumping out of this vortex, even if there are problems, it has nothing to do with me.

Actually, Director Liu is also quite curious; given Young Zheng Lao Ban's technique level, persisting in something like this surely has his internal logic.

Could it be that I really made a mistake in judgment? After thinking it over, Director Liu also felt a hint of confusion.
