Chapter 2518: 2428 Don't act up!

2428 Don't act up!

Boss, you wouldn't want to operate on him, would you? Su Yun asked.

Normally speaking, it wouldn't be. Zheng Ren answered very rigorously, as if explaining the condition to a patient's family, saying a sentence that sounded like stating a fact but was actually meaningless.

Don't act up! Su Yun's voice grew much stricter as she said, "Recently many reporters have been interviewing around here, you know about this, right?"

I know.

Zheng Ren refused all interviews, including those from Hai Cheng Urban Daily chief editor Tangxiu, and even the requests of Sun Zeli, the reporter who had followed him to the front lines during earthquake relief.

For Zheng Ren, standing in front of a camera with a microphone is worse than letting him do a few more surgeries. That's too difficult—at least for him it's really too difficult.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Zheng Ren thinks it's unnecessary.

Propaganda and such are secondary; doing the surgery well is the real deal.

Media people have a keen sense; Zheng Ren unhesitatingly refused all interviews, but the people around him weren't so resolute.

Su Yun knew that just Fang Lin had accepted over a dozen interviews about their boss, and Zhou Litao's side also had some.

This is to shape the boss's image from all sides; Su Yun carefully monitored the situation around them.

He worried that the boss's stubborn temper would invite disaster.

The right to speak is always the most important. Sometimes whether the surgery is done well or not isn't that important.

Su Yun was vigilant like a night-watch soldier, observing the surroundings. But all feedback so far has been relatively positive; it's not that no one has opinions about the boss—it's said that Director Sun Chao of the Vascular Department at Medical University Affiliated Hospital had an unpleasant argument with a reporter over this.

Sun Chao seems okay; next time I won't need to smash him with forceps, Su Yun thought. However, the biggest implication of this is that someone in a dark corner is eyeing the boss, eyeing the entire medical team.

From now until next year, it's a time when mistakes cannot be made.

I don't know how many eyes are fixed on our boss; if nothing goes wrong, out of admiration for strength, everyone will speak well of him. Countless words of praise push his academic standing to a certain height.

But if something goes wrong, the scenario of beating a drowning dog could happen; the boss and the entire medical team would be that poor drowning dog.

Besides reporters like Sun Zeli, who are comrade-in-arms type, and Tangxiu, who are patient-family type, who wouldn't rush over at the first opportunity to see what mistake the Nobel laureate made!

Su Yun even came up with a relatively dark headline: "Is the Nobel laureate really that capable? Under the famous name, they actually fall short……"

Adding a simple summary phrase for a medical accident, a sensational news story is born.

The Nobel laureate, this shining subject, attracts the eyes of the onlookers; everyone happily clicks to read the news.

If that happens, it will surely dominate the hot search list at number one for at least a week.

Pay to take down the hot search? That basically doesn't exist!

Just thinking about this, Su Yun shuddered.

Boss, don't act up, be careful. Su Yun warned again.

Hmm, don't worry. Zheng Ren said lightly: "The surgery probably can't be done; Xiao Shitou's mother said bringing the data back would be too heavy and meaningless, so she gave it to me."

Su Yun knows the boss's temperament; looking at him, there's no thought of just saying it'll be fine. Next step will surely be to carefully study the condition, then use the intraoperative navigation system and 3D printing system to fabricate a simulated person and begin surgical training.

But this really has no meaning, Su Yun shook her head.

Shi Jian's condition is said to be complex, it's complex to the extreme. But if we put it simply, a few sentences can summarize it.

After the New Year this year, the little boy said his stomach felt uncomfortable, but no one paid attention at the time. Later, due to chronic diarrhea accompanied by weight loss, he came to the hospital for diagnosis and was diagnosed with stomach cancer, liver cancer, and colon cancer, with lymph node metastasis.

No one knows exactly where the primary lesion is. By the time it was discovered, it was already late stage, with tumors filling the abdomen.

This was also the situation when they first met the little boy in Director Qi's clinic.

Afterwards, Wen Xiaonuan took Shi Jian to travel across the country's major tertiary hospitals; some places tried treatment, others directly advised them to go home.

Targeted drugs and first- and second-line chemotherapy were all used. The effect…… can't be said to be none; at least Shi Jian is still alive now.

But even with huge expenses, Shi Jian endured great suffering torment, and still inevitably reached the final step of life.

Su Yun stood behind Zheng Ren, took a quick look at the patient's condition, and shook her head repeatedly.

Zheng Ren, however, inserted the most recent examination film into the viewer.

The chest and abdominal cavities were a white expanse of tumor, impossible to count how many. Gao Shaojie glanced, frowned, and said: "Boss Zheng, this patient has no point in further treatment, right?"

No meaning? Probably so, Zheng Ren thought to himself. He held his shoulders and looked at the film, saying nothing.

Gao Shaojie stared for a moment, Su Yun repeatedly earnestly advised Boss Zheng, at this moment we absolutely cannot make a mistake. How do I feel that Boss Zheng, facing this late-stage cancer patient, wants to do surgery?

Can this be operated on? Gao Shaojie slowly stood up and examined the film carefully.

Actually, there's no need to examine closely; a quick glance shows there's no therapeutic value left. The patient has already reached the brink of life's end—perhaps in a month, a week, a day, or an hour, he will die from multi-organ failure.

It's fundamentally impossible to perform surgery; even interventional perfusion chemotherapy is unnecessary. In this state, the patient's heart might stop as soon as surgery begins.

Gao Shaojie carefully asked: "Boss Zheng, how are you considering this patient?"

He really feared that Zheng Ren would tap the film on the viewer with his finger and say to admit the patient, prepare for upcoming surgery, etc. Even in Zheng Ren's manner, he might just say "one two three four five," blatantly listing the benefits of surgery.

Normally, if the patient's family wanted to try, they could attempt to remove the tumor near the airway to relieve pressure, or place a tracheal stent. But either way, it would be palliative surgery.

As for the current situation, Su Yun is right: calm down and wait for the Nobel results, and absolutely avoid any trouble or further disturbances.

The surgery can't be done. Zheng Ren sighed and said.

Perhaps this is the first time facing a patient who cannot be operated on; Gao Shaojie won't feel regret but will be glad that Boss Zheng hasn't been blinded by repeated victories and made a wrong judgment.

If it can't be done, just put it away. Su Yun said without a word, removed the film from the viewer, and without hesitation placed it into the film bag.
