Chapter 2484: 2397 Having finished the task, brush off one's clothes and go; deeply conceal body and name
2397 Having finished the task, brush off one's clothes and go; deeply conceal body and name.
"Zheng Lao Ban." Director Luo coughed and asked.
"Director Luo, is there something?"
"You...?"
"Oh, after using local anesthetic, wait a few minutes for the roundworm to be anesthetized, then we can operate." Zheng Ren said.
""
Director Luo was stunned for a moment.
This is a very simple operation; I fell into a mental blind spot and simply didn't think of it.
"It's like taking a worm out of the ear; you need something like lidocaine." Professor Yang whispered to Director Luo.
Director Luo nodded.
But he didn't turn off the intercom, and continued listening to Zheng Lao Ban and Su Yun chatting casually.
"For diabetic patients, the weight-loss effect of metformin is still obvious, but for ordinary people taking it, it's truly incomprehensible. However, this divine drug metformin is said to have been developed for countless other uses."
"There's also an old drug banned for nearly a hundred years that's recently being sold again; it's said that after taking it, it will go 'bang' and explode."
"Don't talk nonsense; it's not an explosion, it's necrosis. The 'bang' is just a description; there's really no such thing as the body exploding after taking medicine."
Their casual chat was very simple, with many keywords left unsaid. Curiosity itched like a little worm in their hearts.
"Zheng Lao Ban, what drug causes explosions?" Professor Yang couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
"Surgery? We'll chat after it's done." Zheng Ren turned his head, locked eyes with Professor Yang, and then said.
""
You old-timer still know about surgery?
After Zheng Ren said that, he immediately started stepping on the line.
The image of the bile duct roundworm indeed became much 'softer'; the guidewire smoothly passed through the roundworm and reached a deeper position.
Take it out backwards? Or how? Director Luo looked a bit bewildered.
Then the screen showed the balloon opening on the inside, while the forceps grasped the front section of the roundworm on the outside.
The intercom fell silent; during their casual chat the two had communicated, but when it came time to actually perform the surgery, Zheng Ren and Su Yun didn't say a word.
The forceps gripping the roundworm began to move outward; when the roundworm was pulled straight, the internal balloon also began to move.
Thus, with one pushing and one pulling, the anesthetized roundworm was bit by bit extracted from the intrahepatic bile ducts.
Uh...
This also works?
This also works!
Director Luo felt truly enlightened; if he knew this operation, he seemed like he could try it himself.
Just thinking about this, Director Luo's trigger finger twitched; he now wanted Zheng Lao Ban to leave the roundworm in the intrahepatic bile ducts so he could go up and perform the surgery himself.
But it's just a thought; could he really throw the patient onto the operating table and himself complete an experimental surgery? Moreover, the difficulty lies in the tacit understanding between Zheng Lao Ban and Doctor Su.
If it were me, I couldn't find such an assistant.
After 1'22", the roundworm in the bile duct was removed.
After a repeat angiogram, the patient's bile duct was clear, and the surgery was declared a success.
The airtight lead door opened, and Zheng Ren tore off his sterile gown and walked out.
"Professor Yang, take the worms to show the patient's family." Zheng Ren said, "Tell them more, and make sure the patient never eats such random junk again."
Professor Yang nodded, took out seventy-two worms. Without saying anything else, that number alone is enough to shock people.
The patient's family doesn't understand the difficulty of extracting worms via ERCP, nor do they need to. The extracted worms aren't just for the family to see; the patient should see them too.
After seeing them, if she still has the guts to take roundworm egg capsules, then she's ruthless!
"Boss, let's go!" Su Yun took off her lead clothing, threw it on the ground, and casually said, "Director Luo, Professor Yang, we're heading back."
"You two have worked hard; take your leave slowly." Director Luo said with a smile.
"Director Luo, then we're leaving." Zheng Ren gave a polite slight bow, then took off his lead clothing and turned to leave.
Watching Zheng Lao Ban and Su Yun's departing figures, Professor Yang suddenly felt a kind of chivalrous spirit of having finished the task, brushed off one's clothes and gone, deeply concealing body and name.
However, to have such chivalry, one also needs the ability.
For a problem that nobody else can solve, when they come, finish the surgery and walk away, I probably couldn't learn it. In front of Zheng Lao Ban, I'm just a background.
"Keep it quiet when going home." Zheng Ren reminded.
"I reckon Yi Ren woke up long ago and is now drawing circles in the corner, cursing you for doing the surgery without bringing her." Su Yun said with a chuckle.
"Don't talk nonsense; it's possible Heizi hasn't even slept yet." Zheng Ren said.
"Boss, have you watched 'Slim Men and Women'?"
"I've watched it; it seemed that successful weight loss was achieved through scientific exercise." Zheng Ren said.
"Yeah, eating whatever worms. And that patient who ate cotton that gastroenterology admitted a while back—same thing. They'll eat anything, not knowing what to say."
"I recall that on 'Kangxi Coming', a guest said bathing in capsaicin can lose weight and beautify."
"Don't mention it; at least a first-degree burn. Healing takes months, that person is quite fortunate; if they left scars all over, they'd still need cosmetic surgery."
The two chatted while walking home.
Going back, there's no need to rush; a slow walk will do.
The late July night in the capital was sultry; the two, just out of the constant-temperature operating room, quickly broke out in a layer of sticky sweat.
"There was a summer that was especially hot before." Su Yun said, "One of my classmates would rather stay in the operating room all day, enjoying the 24° constant temperature, than go back to the dorm to sleep."
"Your dorm doesn't have air conditioning?"
"You talk as if you'd be willing to turn on the AC in your Hai Cheng rental."
"That's also too hard, huh."
Returning home, the cool air washed over him, refreshing and pleasant. Home is still the best, Zheng Ren thought.
Heizi crouched at the doorway, wagging his tail to greet Zheng Ren and Su Yun.
"The old song by Zhang Chu says finding a girlfriend is no match for keeping a dog—really true." Su Yun stroked Heizi's dog head as she said.
"Don't talk nonsense, Heizi won't cook for you, nor keep you company chatting." Zheng Ren lowered his voice, "Sleep, sleep, tomorrow there's still surgery."
……
In the dead of night, after finishing his work, Zheng Ren fell into a deep sleep.
And many others were still awake, still striving for something.
Tangxiu was sorting through the recent interview materials—Di Du liver and gallbladder, East Tumor, Medical University Affiliated Hospital, and so on. Many doctors described Zheng Lao Ban from various angles; the more they described, the more a perfect image ought to have been able to be pieced together.
But gradually, Tangxiu felt somewhat lost.
The Zheng Lao Ban described by different people was completely different.
Some said he was simple and honest; some said he was arrogant, young and yet arrogant; some said his surgeries were good but too radical; some said he……
Although Tangxiu didn't understand how Zheng Lao Ban had achieved this in less than a year since arriving at Di Du, she was still desperately trying to piece together as complete a picture as possible, so that more people could learn about this doctor from Hai Cheng.
