Chapter 2362: with translation of title

"Director Tai?" The head of vascular department didn't understand; he only glanced and didn't even know which blood vessel had just been.

Director Tai didn't speak, still staring blankly at the final image on the screen.

"Nothing at all?" After the head of vascular department understood the image, he felt a bit displeased.

"Director Tai, there's nothing to see now." Zheng Ren walked out, casually tossing the lead clothing into a corner, where it made a bang.

The head of vascular department was stunned for a moment.

The head nurse in the operating room is present; she's a famous tigress, daring to throw the lead clothing into the operating area, just waiting to be scolded.

But then the head of vascular department saw the head nurse step forward with a smiling face, asking after his health.

Her smile was genuine and warm, not just out of politeness for Director Tai's sake; it was full of gratitude and… why do her legs feel a bit weak? Strange.

Which department's doctor is this, or did they bring someone in from Sheng Cheng? Even the head nurse in the operating room has turned from a tigress into a meowing kitten; the head of vascular department was puzzled.

"The broken IABP tube is twisted, but not severely." Zheng Ren said in a low voice.

"Is there any special handling needed afterward?" The operating room head nurse asked hurriedly.

"No." Zheng Ren said, "Just follow the circulatory department's standard postoperative medication. That… Director Zhai, please apply pressure to stop the bleeding; Lin Yuan and I are leaving."

Only then did Director Tai realize what had happened; although he couldn't understand why, after several attempts he had thought the IABP tube was firmly stuck, it came out so easily. But this didn't affect his ability to speak.

"Zheng Lao Ban, you're truly impressive!" Director Tai felt astonished, only able to utter this completely unnutritious sentence.

"Hehe, it's just normal procedure." Zheng Ren chuckled, "Don't worry, practice more and you'll naturally become familiar with handling emergencies."

"You're in 912, do you often handle emergencies?" Director Tai still had in mind the extremely agile movements of Zheng Lao Ban during the surgery, and he unconsciously followed Zheng Lao Ban's words.

"Occasionally, the standard in 912 is still quite high, with few operational errors." Zheng Ren said, "We're leaving now; let's meet in Di Du when we have time."

He glanced up and saw Director Zhai already helping Lin Yuan down, so he greeted Lin Yuan to leave. Although his words were somewhat unpleasant, they were just the facts, and there was nothing to be pretentious about.

"Zheng Lao Ban, Zheng Lao Ban…" Director Tai only then realized they were leaving, and hurriedly grabbed the hem of Zheng Ren's isolation gown.

But he couldn't get the next words out.

"It's fine, don't worry, we'll have a chance to meet again." Zheng Ren patted Director Tai's shoulder and lightly tapped his left radial styloid.

Director Tai felt a slight pain and involuntarily loosened his grip on the isolation gown's hem.

"I… I'll see you off." He then said.

"No need, just grab a taxi and go. You're busy here, stay and look after the patients." Zheng Ren laughed as he and Lin Yuan left the operating area.

Director Tai glanced at the operating room, then at Zheng Lao Ban, and strode out after them.

The head of the vascular department stared in astonishment at the scene before him; he had become invisible, ignored by everyone, and even that young doctor just now didn't glance at him.

Seeing the nurses busy and Director Zhai still pressing in the operating room, he went in and asked, "Little Zhai, who was that 912 professor just now?"

"Director Zhao, that's Zheng Lao Ban from 912." Director Zhai said.

"Zheng Lao Ban?" The head of vascular department looked at Director Zhai's expression, feeling puzzled. Usually you'd add the department name when saying who's who. Zheng Lao Ban from 912—does that mean 912 is his family's?

After muttering to himself, the head of vascular department immediately saw the removed IABP tube.

The IABP tube was twisted, deformed, and broken; placed on the instrument tray, it looked shocking.

Is this the thing that was stuck in the blood vessel?! The head of vascular department immediately realized that being consulted wasn't a joke—there really was a problem.

"Yeah, a while ago I and the director went to Di Du to attend lectures; it was Zheng Lao Ban who gave the TIPS surgery talk. After returning, we invited Director Zhou of Di Du's hepatobiliary department to perform two cases, and only then did we start our own." Director Zhai also stared at the IABP tube, speaking softly.

"……" The head of vascular department was immediately speechless.

So he's a real expert… Wait! A name instantly popped into his mind: Zheng Lao Ban!

He's the operator from the Apricot Grove Garden Surgery Live Broadcast Room!

Holy cow… No wonder he's so awesome! Director Tai couldn't get that IABP tube out, but this person came in and, with a few swishes, finished the surgery.

"Is… is that the person from Xinglin Yuan?" The head of vascular department didn't notice his voice trembling; he asked softly.

"Yeah, that's Zheng Lao Ban. His skill is genuinely high; usually watching the livestream doesn't feel special, but seeing him perform so effortlessly makes you think it ought to be that way. Now that I've seen it, his skill is truly high!"

Director Zhai said excitedly, using the phrase "his skill is truly high" twice to express his excitement.

As for this matter, although I and Director Tai ended up as side characters, background, props, or extras, this story could be bragged about over drinks for years without getting tired.

At that moment, Director Tai was already about to lose his temper on the operating table; Director Zhai knew that whenever the chief encountered difficulties during surgery, he would lose his temper—that's his habit.

No matter how they tried, they couldn't remove the IABP tube; anyone would lose their temper.

But look at Zheng Lao Ban—he came up and, in less than a minute, pulled the IABP tube out smoothly. Afterwards, angiography showed no thrombus or tube residue, and the surgery ended just like that.

People, there is still a gap, and it's not too huge.

Upon hearing that it was the Xinglin Yuan operator, the head of vascular department turned and left; Director Zhai saw him hurrying and asked, "Director Zhao, where are you off to?"

But all he got in return was silence; the head of vascular department had no time to entertain an Inpatient Chief, and left the operating room directly.

"Head Nurse, you saw that, right? Earlier I and the director went for further training, and you kept nagging about it." Director Zhai, unable to contain his excitement, grabbed the head nurse and started chatting.

The head nurse held the elderly lady's hand; all the monitor readings were good, and seeing that she could be discharged in a few days post-op, she felt a bit excited.

This was like falling into an abyss, already desperate, when suddenly a hand grabbed her and she saw the light of day again.

The change in circumstances was so drastic that her mind went completely blank.

"You talk too much!" The circulating nurse, clearing medical waste, snapped, "If I'd known Zheng Lao Ban was coming, why didn't you just call someone up?"

"Easy to say, what's my status? I'm just an Inpatient Chief! Zheng Lao Ban doesn't even glance at me." Director Zhai chuckled: "Zheng Lao Ban looks kind, but he actually has a big temper! In Di Du, is Director Zhou of the hepatobiliary hospital fierce? He got swung at with hemostatic forceps by Zheng Lao Ban and beaten like a dog."

The circulating nurse thought of Director Zhou, who had been invited to perform surgery a few days earlier; it was hard to imagine such a dignified director being struck with hemostatic forceps on the operating table… and being like that.
