Chapter 2352: with translation of chapter title
Lin Ge, shortly after the Shou Bing ended, accompanied Vice President Yuan and the director of the Women and Children's Hospital to outside the Operating Room, waiting for Zheng Lao Ban to come out.
Shou Bing is extremely difficult, but Lin Ge has no idea just how difficult it is. His duty isn't to admire the Shou Bing; it's to, if Zheng Lao Ban's Shou Bing fails, keep the situation under control and shield Zheng Lao Ban and his medical team from fallout as much as possible.
Zheng Lao Ban, as always, is steady and cautious—so steady, so cautious!
If he doesn't act, it's fine; once he acts, success follows, as if accidents simply don't exist.
Not to mention all that, the Shou Bing is already finished, yet he bluntly refused the Women and Children's Hospital leadership's suggestion to enter the Operating Room.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Ge felt a bit tense, unsure whether Vice President Chen and Director Zhang would lose their temper.
Originally, asking was meant to show respect for Zheng Lao Ban and also a gesture of goodwill from the Women and Children's Hospital. But nobody expected Zheng Lao Ban to simply and directly refuse the director's request to come in and take a look.
But after seeing Vice President Chen respond with a cheerful laugh and honestly sit beside Director Zhang to chat, he felt a mix of emotions.
Having managed to separate conjoined twin hearts—pulling off this kind of Shou Bing—what else could there be to worry about?
I overthought it.
After a while, Vice President Chen and Director Zhang whispered a couple of sentences, then stood up and told Vice President Yuan, 'It's about time; let's go greet him.'
Lin Ge accompanied the Women and Children's Hospital's various hospital leaders as a noisy group of over a dozen people left the Hand Surgery Department's demonstration classroom, put on caps and masks, and came to the Operating Room hallway.
But Vice President Chen did not go into the hallway where the Shou Bing was being performed; instead, she stood outside, focusing her attention while waiting.
It seemed as if this place wasn't the Women and Children's Hospital's territory, and ahead lay a forbidden pool—she dared not step over it even half a step.
Zheng Lao Ban said a word—what exactly, I don't know. Lin Ge muttered a complaint to himself, but a feeling of pride welled up inside him as he stood beside the two hospital directors of the Women and Children's Hospital and Vice President Yuan.
After a few more minutes, the airtight door of the Operating Room opened, and two gurneys were pushed inside.
The Shou Bing finally ended; after being observed on stage for thirty minutes with no abnormalities detected, Lin Ge seemed to hear everyone at the Women and Children's Hospital let out a sigh of relief.
Two teams escorted the two gurneys out, with Director Zhang leading the way, walking toward Zheng Lao Ban.
He smiled and said, 'Zheng Lao Ban, you've worked hard.'
'You're welcome,' Zheng Ren said, then glanced at Director Zhang and added, 'I'll send the patient back; we still need to be careful on the way.'
Director Zhang stared for a moment, but instinctively stepped aside, standing against the wall of the Operating Room to let the gurneys pass as quickly as possible.
The hospital leaders from both institutions stood like soldiers, instantly forming two rows, leaning against the wall and giving Zheng Lao Ban a salute of attention.
Generally speaking, after external experts and professors finish a Shou Bing, they just change clothes and leave; nobody is willing to send the patient to the ICU.
Even if they want to check the postoperative patient's condition, if there's anything unsettling, they'll change clothes first before going.
Our hospital has plenty of doctors and nurses; we're not just eating dry rice.
But Zheng Lao Ban insists on personally sending the patient.
'Zheng Lao Ban is not bad,' Director Zhang said, showing no annoyance at being defied; he waited while over a dozen people sent the two child patients out, then softly added.
'Well, for this Shou Bing, their medical team hasn't really rested for two or three days,' Vice President Chen added.
'Really hard work.'
'Vice President Yuan, Director Lin, let's first arrange for Zheng Lao Ban's medical team to rest a bit, then have a simple meal this evening,' Director Zhang said.
'I... I estimate...' Lin Ge said, giving an embarrassed smile.
Director Zhang also had preparations, after all, there had been a prior lesson.
He smiled and said, 'Is Zheng Lao Ban's Flying Knife the same elsewhere?'
'Pretty much the same; he rarely goes out to eat,' Lin Ge said helplessly.
'Director, Chief Cheng's calling from Philadelphia,' Vice President Chen's phone rang; she glanced at it and said softly.
'Hehe,' Director Zhang gave a faint smile and lifted his head.
Speaking, Vice President Chen answered the call.
After a brief chat, the other side explained the meaning, then hastily hung up.
She glanced at Lin Ge the same way, said nothing. Lin Ge understood in his heart that it was inconvenient to speak with him present.
What else could it be? Zheng Lao Ban is like a rare treasure, and yet someone is eyeing him covetously.
When we go back, we need to tell the hospital; otherwise, we shouldn't let Zheng Lao Ban come out to do Shou Bing anymore. East Tumor is stirring, and although the Medical University Affiliated Hospital says they look down on Zheng Lao Ban's arrogance, they're even harsher—the Clinical Supervisor, Vice President Lin, directly slipped his daughter in.
Whether this counts as marrying into the family or whatever, they just went ahead and did it openly.
And right now, the Women and Children's Hospital has had another idea.
They're all in clinical work—how could Lin Ge not know what the Women and Children's Hospital is thinking? After performing a Shou Bing to separate conjoined twin hearts, their standing in the academic world would jump up a notch.
But Zheng Lao Ban isn't part of the Women and Children's Hospital, so they're now in an awkward position. If they publicize this widely, the biggest slice of the cake will go to Zheng Lao Ban and 912.
If they don't publicize it, having carried out such a major Shou Bing, even the Philadelphia Children's Hospital has called—likely wanting to cooperate or exchange—wouldn't that be like wearing fine clothes at night?
Lin Ge gave a slight smile, instantly sorting out these matters in his mind, but he pretended on the surface not to know what had happened.
……
……
Zheng Ren sent the patient to the ICU; all went well, and the child's parents, from afar, took one look and burst into tears.
Reporters heard the news and rushed over, but they were all stopped outside.
After spending a few minutes in the ICU and giving a brief briefing, Zheng Ren led the others away, preparing to change clothes.
'Boss, do you want to go straight back?' Su Yun asked.
'Definitely, I haven't checked the patients at home thoroughly these two days, so I'm a bit worried. You haven't slept for days either, have you? You need to go back and catch up on sleep,' Zheng Ren said.
'What's there to worry about? When we two went to participate in earthquake relief, Fugui'er did pretty well too,' Su Yun said disparagingly.
However, as they were talking, he also let out a yawn.
Having gone days without sleep, Su Yun is also tired. This seems to be the first time in his life he's given something his all, with no equal.
His talent is too high, which can sometimes be a problem. He gets it at a glance; the biggest issue is that Su Yun just doesn't want to put in any more effort.
Zheng Ren glanced at the weary Su Yun and smiled. 'This guy's talent is truly high—I'm even a bit envious.'
They also have no system, no mission rewards. After more than two days of Shou Bing training, Zheng Ren could feel Su Yun's technique improving by leaps and bounds—almost each Shou Bing training session brought some progress, and soon he reached the peak of master craftsmanship.
If one could master the feel, Su Yun might just charge straight into the peak period of Cardiothoracic Surgery Shou Bing.
One still needs to work harder; otherwise, being surpassed by him, enduring his constant scolding would be unbearable.
