Chapter 2280

This middle-aged patient is an odd one out.

People's choices differ; as long as you have no regrets, others have nothing to say.

Zheng Ren silently recalled the whole process from his definitive diagnosis a year ago up to now. Though he didn't understand, seeing Zheng Ren's eyes carry a hint of serene fearlessness toward life and death, there was nothing to say.

Seek benevolence and you will attain benevolence?

It can be understood this way.

"Boss, is there really nothing we can do?" Su Yun asked softly.

Director Kong and Zheng Ren both shook their heads.

There are at least 20 metastatic lesions in the liver, the portal vein is blocked, and there are metastases throughout the body, making even a liver transplant impossible.

When the disease reaches this point, it's literally beyond cure. Su Yun also knew this, but he always had hope for his boss; maybe there was a way after all.

But Zheng Ren's head shake indicated everything—there was no miracle.

"He's also a real man." Su Yun said.

Zheng Ren nodded.

"Right, you're looking for me because of Lin Yuan's matter?" Director Kong also felt the atmosphere was a bit oppressive, so he smiled and changed the subject.

"Yes. Something unexpected happened today. Sorry, director." Zheng Ren looked up and said.

"What's there to be sorry about." Director Kong laughed, "It's fine. Just now Yi Ren brought little Lin back; I took a look and got the situation."

"It's not an accident during surgery; little Lin also said it was just her own curiosity, she'll be fine after a rest."

Director Kong sat smiling in his chair, completely unbothered by the matter.

"From now on I'll try..."

"Don't think too much." Director Kong laughed: "Director Lin indeed greeted me before, but frankly, he just wants to come here and take advantage. If he doesn't want to be a junior doctor, does he still want to sit in my office?"

Zheng Ren laughed.

"Director, you're right." Su Yun immediately said.

"Normal work, today is just an accident." Director Kong said: "Nobody can avoid these accidents; just be careful. By the way, what exactly is the patient's tracheal foreign body?"

I looked with the bronchoscope and felt it was like a rotten pepper wrapped in the back.

"Tsk." Director Kong sighed and shook his head: "Pepper, getting into the trachea and still lasting several years—truly indifferent to one's own body."

"Yeah, when I was a graduate student I saw a pen core sucked into the trachea." Su Yun followed Director Kong's words.

"Usually it's small kids eating jelly, part of the jelly gets in. Or peanuts, melon seeds, etc." Director Kong laughed: "Zheng Lao Ban, peanuts and melon seeds are easy to handle; if it's jelly, what would you do?"

Zheng Ren understood Director Kong's meaning.

The bronchoscope's Foreign Body Forceps can grasp hard objects like melon seeds and peanuts without problem. If it's jelly, one grab and it crumbles, which is quite a headache.

"If it's the First Time, we could try the Heimlich maneuver. But I estimate that after jelly enters the trachea, there will be transient breathing difficulty, a feeling of impending death, and the patient's violent breathing will drive the jelly deeper."

"What's the point of saying it?" Su Yun said disdainfully.

A few years ago, when I was on emergency duty in Hai Cheng with the Emergency Rescue Service, I feared encountering two types of patients the most. Zheng Ren said seriously.

Director Kong was also curious, what else does Zheng Lao Ban fear?

"The first type is tracheal foreign body. When the Emergency Rescue Service vehicle arrives, the patient is already gone. There's nothing we can do; once we get there, there's no chance for emergency rescue."

"The second type is a pregnant woman waiting to give birth at home. When her water breaks and she sees red, she calls the Emergency Department and asks for the 120 Emergency to pick her up. I worry that when we lift the pregnant woman onto the vehicle, the baby will be born, and maybe the umbilical cord gets wrapped around the neck..."

Zheng Ren's words made Director Kong shiver.

Su Yun, however, felt contemptuous, he directly retorted: "Giving birth is usually so hard; some women, after getting on the delivery table, have to labor for 24 hours."

I know, it's like... some women don't even know they're pregnant and just give birth in the bathroom.

Boss, if you always worry about low-probability events, life has no fun. Su Yun said.

But for doctors, high-probability events are meaningless. You're fine, I'm fine, everyone's fine, the patient leaves the hospital, happily presenting a banner. But once a low-probability event occurs, it's like today Lin Yuan going to look at the tracheal foreign body.

Speaking, Zheng Ren gave a bitter smile.

Even if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoid delusions, Zheng Ren would never have thought that Lin Yuan would actually go check the tracheal foreign body and even inhale a mouthful of hydrogen sulfide.

Damn it!

Next time we go on stage, we must definitely use the Hemostatic Forceps to give her a good whack, as long as we don't break a bone. Su Yun is right; we need to make her understand that what she says on the operating table absolutely cannot be violated!

"She's just curious, hey Boss, aren't you curious too?" Su Yun asked.

When I took out the foreign object, I felt my eyes hurt, considering there might be a problem. Zheng Ren began to cover up what happened in the System Operating Room.

Who doesn't have a curious heart?

This can't be blamed on Lin Yuan either.

"It's eye‑irritating, truly eye‑irritating." Su Yun said with a laugh.

Director Kong laughed; these two kids chatted on and on, and the topic drifted off to the horizon.

Zheng Lao Ban, I have something to tell you.

Hmm, go ahead, Director.

Director Lin expressed the idea that he wants Lin Yuan to learn Intracardiac Intervention Surgery. Director Kong said.

Is it because they're afraid of doing TIPS Surgery and getting tangled? Su Yun retorted, full of contempt, spilling over, even the Three Gorges Dam couldn't stop it.

Probably, and besides, Intracardiac Intervention Surgery is an emerging procedure; Director Lin has his considerations. Director Kong didn't spell it out too clearly, just said it simply.

One sentence—Director Lin has his considerations—is enough to explain everything.

Intracardiac Intervention Surgery is a top‑tier procedure; if the foundation isn't solid, it simply can't be done. Zheng Ren said, "Let's do TIPS Surgery first; I estimate that in 2–3 years Lin Yuan can start trying Intracardiac Intervention Surgery."

Hmm. Director Kong's fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, as if thinking about something.

Director, if there's nothing else, we won't disturb you. Zheng Ren said.

Go ahead. Director Kong chuckled, "There's another matter: the surgery volume on Yimei's side is a bit large; what do you think, Zheng Lao Ban?"

The way this was phrased, the sentences don't flow smoothly.

Zheng Ren thought for a moment, smiled and said: "Liu Xu zhi's Shou Bing is not bad; if you Worry, I'll find time to go over there and knock him a few more times."

Director Kong smiled, nodded, waved his hand.

Zheng Ren understood, turned and left the director's office.

"Director Kong treats Sister Lin sincerely well." Su Yun said softly after going out.

"Is Worry that side has a problem." Zheng Ren said.

"You speak nonsense with a straight face, looking honest and simple, absolutely carrying strong deceit." Su Yun blew a breath, the black hair in front of her forehead fluttered.
