Lin Yuan finished speaking, Zheng Ren turned off the computer, turned around and said to Lawyer Ge, "There are two possible situations: one is massive release of catecholamines due to metabolic causes leading to sympathetic nervous excitation symptoms, manifested as palpitations, cold sweat, etc."

Another is neuropsychiatric symptoms, manifested as headache, dizziness, blurred vision, anxiety and unease, mental confusion or slowed response, abnormal behavior, personality changes, even impaired consciousness or coma.

The patient has lung cancer; I suggest performing Shou Bing as soon as possible." Zheng Ren said, "The defense side has detailed evidence, so it shouldn't be a problem. But no matter what, I suggest we still do Shou Bing first before doing anything else."

After saying that, Zheng Ren glanced at Lawyer Ge, "Can you do it?"

That question was a bit blunt, but Lawyer Ge didn't find anything strange about it, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Does the patient's family have no money?" Su Yun asked.

He's a migrant worker, his family lives in a mountain valley, and it's estimated he can hardly afford hospitalization and Shou Bing." Lawyer Ge also felt somewhat helpless, but his mind had already begun to consider seeking social assistance and such.

The law firm won a lawsuit that was surely to be lost, then took out some money to donate and also sought social assistance.

Seeking assistance, for Lawyer Ge, was akin to advertising and promotion.

With proper means and proper hype, this incident could be fermented to an extent even beyond one's imagination.

The client-patient benefits, I benefit, and there are no losers.

Of course, going to Zheng Lao Ban for treatment, he gets no benefit at all—this is the only regret. But later, finding an opportunity to compensate Zheng Lao Ban, Lawyer Ge thought quickly, already having an idea in mind.

Zheng Lao Ban is indeed awesome! I just had a bit of doubt, went to see Zheng Lao Ban, and within less than half a day everything became clear. Lawyer Ge immediately felt moved, realizing the benefits he could gain from this matter were greater than imagined.

"Do you need a live stream?" Zheng Ren asked, "It's free."

"Zheng Lao Ban, you're putting me to too much trouble." Lawyer Ge hurriedly stopped Zheng Lao Ban's words, "I'll first think of a way myself, do my best. If it doesn't work, I'll come to you right away."

Zheng Ren didn't insist, and smiled.

The diagnosis was clear; the patient's tumor was medium-sized, and neither the System Panel nor my own judgment showed any metastasis.

Perform Shou Bing promptly; postoperative, likely no need for radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

There is a chance of cure, and it's not small. The five-year survival rate is at least over 80%; the patient can be considered a great fortune amidst misfortune.

"Alright, then you hurry up on your end." Zheng Ren said, "We must perform Shou Bing promptly; absolutely no delays."

Lawyer Ge nodded repeatedly; Zhou Litao issued an admission slip, admitting the patient via the Jizhen Lü Se Tong Dao to prepare for Shou Bing.

After the matter was settled, Zheng Ren let out a sigh of relief.

"Boss, have you ever seen paraneoplastic hypoglycemia before?" Su Yun asked.

"No." Zheng Ren answered honestly, "I initially thought it was a pancreatic issue."

"Hmm, reports of lung cancer inducing hypoglycemia are rare both domestically and abroad." Su Yun said, "Hypoglycemia caused by intra-abdominal tumors is relatively more common."

"I'm also seeing this for the first time." Lin Yuan said.

She also encountered a case mentioned in textbooks but rarely noticed by anyone. Such cases leave a deep imprint in her mind and will become part of her rich clinical experience in the future.

As for what Lawyer Ge was thinking, Zheng Ren didn't bother to ponder it carefully. The diagnosis was already clear; if Lawyer Ge were again unreliable and delayed the patient's treatment……

Zheng Ren never even considered this possibility; after all, for Lawyer Ge, the archway that should be erected still needs to be erected.

The "Opportunity" before him was quite glorious for Lawyer Ge; he couldn't possibly let it slip. As for Shou Bing, any Team-leading Professor in thoracic surgery could easily handle it, and Zheng Ren had little interest.

After chatting with Zhou Litao for a while, a few emergency cases came up over there, and Zhou Litao went to help out.

Zheng Ren leisurely returned to the department; Su Yun left midway, and Zheng Ren didn't bother to ask where she went.

Sitting on the longest chair, basking in the sun, Zheng Ren unusually did not go to the System Library to read, but instead took out his phone to chat with Xie Yiren.

【Finished reading, the patient's diagnosis is lung cancer.】

【Wow, you knew this all along?】

【No, I initially considered this patient might have a pancreatic disease, but later ruled it out.】

【Should the patient undergo Shou Bing?】

【Thoracic surgery will handle it well; it's just a wedge resection Shou Bing that can be done, no need for me to step in.】

【In that case, how is the boiled fish for lunch?】

Xie Yiren was obviously still savoring the taste of the boiled fish, and suddenly asked Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren laughed.

When I was in school, I occasionally went out to eat with classmates; Rongcheng has many old shops whose boiled fish is quite authentic.

But Zheng Ren had no thought whatsoever about it, and those delicacies left him no pleasant memories.

For Zheng Ren, gourmet food is merely a part of the past, or rather a part he simply cannot remember.

Even the Shou Bing dog that nothing in great Rongcheng can change collapsed under Xie Yiren's question.

【Delicious!】

Zheng Ren without hesitation uttered a contrary-to-his-feelings remark, then guiltily added a few emojis, preparing to divert the topic.

【Another day I'll make it at home.】

【Good! I'll remove the bones and cut the meat.】

Zheng Ren, who had a clear idea, immediately responded "agile".

That should count as passing, Zheng Ren immediately opened his phone and searched for information about boiled fish.

Fortunately, his memory was excellent; Zheng Ren glanced a few times and then chatted with Xie Yiren about "speculating".

Off work, go home, eat, walk the dog.

Such days are dull as plain water, but Zheng Ren held Yi Ren's hand, Heizi lazily followed beside, refusing to play with any other dogs. The two persons and one dog strolled around the neighborhood, which was actually quite relaxed and content.

In old age, one must definitely find a place with clear mountains and clean water, sit there day after day in a daze, buy groceries, and watch Yi Ren cook.

Hmm, this kind of life is truly life.

As for now, it's simply too busy. Although he enjoys it, Zheng Ren still prefers to simply stroll with Yi Ren in the sunset.

"Why is Heizi so well-behaved, while other people's dogs are all jumping around? Could it be… that he drank alcohol and developed problems?" Zheng Ren didn't quite understand; he had one hand holding Xiao Yi Ren and the other holding Heizi… both were very well-behaved, so well-behaved that Zheng Ren felt a sense of tranquil beauty in life.

"No way, it's very smart." Xie Yiren said with a smile, "Sometimes when we're not home, it sneaks drinks of alcohol."

……

"But after I discovered it once, I just hid the wine."

"Zheng Ren's eyes were full of helplessness; Yi Ren said she hid the wine just so Heizi wouldn't find it?"

"Is this the reality? Do you really think a rescue dog's nose is just for show? Yi Ren's idea leaves Zheng Ren feeling utterly helpless."

"\"Where is it hidden? \" Zheng Ren asked curiously."

"\"Nowhere works; later I just put the wine in my and Yue-jie's room, and close the door when I leave. \""

"\"Then what? \""

"\"Heizi can open the door, and can open the wine bottle cap himself. \" Xie Yiren wasn't angry, laughing happily."

"\"Is drinking like this really okay? \" Zheng Ren instantly recalled the times Su Yun and Chang Yue competed in drinking, feeling somewhat troubled."

"For him, not to mention drinking, even smelling it is impossible; he gets dizzy from the scent."

"\"Later I talked with Heizi once. \" Xie Yiren said, taking the leash from Zheng Ren's hand, squatting down to pet Heizi's head, smiling brightly: \"Heizi is really great; we two discussed for an afternoon, saying that if we have time to take it out to play, it agrees not to steal wine to drink. \""

"\"...... \""

"Zheng Ren felt it was amazing, wondering if Heizi could really agree, or if Yi Ren's inner drama is too much."

"\"If we have time to go out and play, I promised Heizi. \""

"\"Let's pick a weekend, where do you want to go play? \" Zheng Ren asked."

"\"Hot springs? \" Xie Yiren asked."

"\"Okay. \" Zheng Ren had no principle, no opinion, as long as Xiao Yi Ren thinks it's okay."

"\"Then it's set, pick a weekend, you push aside your matters. We'll go play together; in the wilderness Heizi can run freely, I estimate it will be very happy. \" Xie Yiren said happily."

"Afterwards, she squatted on the ground, eyes looking into Heizi's eyes, rubbing his ears, saying: \"After a while, go out to play on the weekend; these few days don't be mischievous. \""

"Heizi stuck out his tongue, rubbing his head against Xie Yiren's hand, as if saying he knows."
