Chapter 2531: and translation of title

One day, Zheng Ren and Su Yun came to the Emergency Department together.

Zhou Litao is no longer the Inpatient Chief, but during the National Day holiday there weren't enough staff on duty, so he still covers the daytime shift here.

He looked around but didn't see Zhou Litao; Su Yun asked a hurried little nurse, "Where is Manager Zhou?"

Now Tang Haitao is Tang Boss, but Su Yun is used to it and still calls him Manager Zhou.

"An elderly patient has come; Manager Zhou is examining him," the little nurse said shyly.

The Emergency Department doesn't go with the words "elderly patient"; it's like a truck stop—people come and go. No one stays like in oncology or neurology or cardiology internal medicine wards, where elderly patients are repeatedly hospitalized, to the point that patients, doctors, and nurses become friends.

However, Zheng Ren didn't take it to heart; he leisurely paced the hallway, completely emptying his mind.

Accompanying Yi Ren on a shopping trip is truly exhausting, more tiring than doing surgery while wearing lead clothing. That's Yi Ren; Zheng Ren, gritting his molars, could still endure two days. But if it were anyone else, Zheng Ren feels he would directly refuse without hesitation.

"Manager Zhou, the key!" Su Yun said while knocking on the door of the treatment room.

Zhou Litao opened the door and handed the key to Su Yun. Su Yun glanced inside, didn't think much of it, and opened Cui Lao's office door.

Here Zhou Litao sweeps every day, spotless, as if waiting for the day Cui Lao returns to work.

But Zheng Ren and Su Yun both know that day probably doesn't exist.

"What patient?" Zheng Ren asked casually.

"A little child, looks about under two years old," Su Yun said.

Zheng Ren froze for a moment— a child under two? Actually an elderly patient in the Emergency Department?

Previously I thought Zhou Litao was good at diagnosing and treating internal medicine emergencies, but I didn't expect pediatric emergencies to be his forte as well, and he's even developed feelings for them.

He smiled, and Zheng Ren sat in the chair.

"Do you think there's any meaning in staring at medical records every day?" Su Yun said contemptuously.

"No." Zheng Ren said flatly.

"Boss, it's holiday season now, and we keep finding people to keep you company just in case you get emotionally stirred one day and act on the idea of performing surgery on Xiao Shitou." Su Yun said sincerely; he rarely speaks in such an earnest tone, seeming a bit anxious.

"Hmm, just thinking about it." Zheng Ren said: "You say sending it to Germany to do the new algorithm DeepMACT, what would we see?"

"The screen is full of tumor cells." Su Yun said affirmatively: "In his case, any treatment is meaningless."

"The cover of 《CELL》 looks really shocking." Zheng Ren held the medical record, looked ahead, and said lightly.

《CELL》 did a cover issue for the new algorithm DeepMACT.

This new algorithm and new examination allow doctors to quickly locate the metastasis sites of cancer cells spread throughout the body, with efficiency increased by over 300 times. Previously, such a workload would take humans months to complete.

This is a technological leap, and Zheng Ren is very interested in it.

Moreover, this technology platform can also show which metastasis sites have been bound by antibody drugs and which have been missed.

According to researchers, 23% of metastasis sites are missed by antibody drugs, which may be one reason cancer easily recurs.

It's a pity it was discovered a bit late; this new algorithm DeepMACT is one of the best solutions Zheng Ren could think of, but it seems it can't be used on Xiao Shitou's body.

"All you do is think about useless stuff." Su Yun said disdainfully: "If you could get a call before the 15th, you'd have made it. Let's do an interview, Boss, what are your plans next?"

Zheng Ren shook his head. Plans? Even if he won the Nobel Prize, he'd still be doing surgery in the hospital.

Originally the idea was to promote TIPS Surgery to let more patients with end-stage liver cirrhosis and massive ascites receive treatment.

But after completing the mission in the Alps, with the strong promotion of the Bruhl Family, the goal of promoting TIPS Surgery has almost been achieved.

The effect is even more significant than actually winning the Nobel Prize, and judging by the number of surgeries completed, Lanke Company also gained huge benefits there.

This is a win-win cooperation.

Su Yun saw Zheng Ren lost in thought, his eyebrows raised as he was about to speak, when a child's crying came from outside.

"Baby, be good, don't cry, don't cry." The mother's warm, affectionate voice coaxing the child came in immediately.

This should be the old patient that Zhou Litao was looking at, Zheng Ren thought.

A child of this age, if there were no congenital disease, shouldn't become an "old" patient.

Zheng Ren glanced curiously, and the diagnosis was still clear—acute gastroenteritis.

It might be due to the patient's family feeding incorrectly, or the child's low immunity causing this. Zheng Ren didn't think much, and said lightly: "When will Da Chu and Xiao Chu arrive?"

"Not decided yet, home is also busy, they have no time." Su Yun said, "Don't return to Hai Cheng lately; if you go back, you'll definitely be scolded by the director. As soon as I mention looking at maple leaves, they both lose focus on work."

Zheng Ren chuckled, recalling the video call a few days ago with Director Pan, whose spirit was still pretty good, and the therapeutic effect of Marluni Blue Bacteria was still not bad. But Zheng Ren didn't understand: the plan to look at maple leaves was clearly Su Yun's idea, how did it become his responsibility?

Outside, the child's crying suddenly changed tone; Zhou Litao shouted anxiously, "Turn your head, don't choke!"

Immediately after, a slight vomiting sound and the footsteps of medical staff were heard.

Su Yun twitched his nose, "How come it's so smelly?"

Zheng Ren smelled it; there was a faint foul odor drifting over. If it were vomiting, there wouldn't be a smell; could the child be vomiting and having diarrhea? If so, that would mean the inflammation of acute gastroenteritis is severe, requiring hospitalization.

Su Yun curiously walked to the doorway, half his body inside, half outside, gazing at the emergency rescue scene.

"Boss, something seems off." Su Yun frowned and said.

"Huh? How so?" Zheng Ren asked.

"The child is vomiting not just stomach contents, but also feces."

"……" Zheng Ren stunned for a moment; vomiting feces first suggests severe intestinal obstruction.

Normally, intestinal obstruction first presents with abdominal pain; to reach the point of vomiting feces, it must be quite severe!

The key is, just now Zheng Ren glanced at the child's System Panel, which had no diagnosis of intestinal obstruction at all!

Zheng Ren doubted; he now rarely questions the diagnosis of Big Pig Trotter, as that would be useless. Although he doesn't fully believe it, he always does some checks to corroborate Big Pig Trotter's diagnosis.

But the facts each time tell Zheng Ren that Big Pig Trotter is correct.

But it's just acute gastroenteritis, yet vomiting up intestinal contents, and even relatively low-positioned feces?!

Zheng Ren suddenly stood up and strode out.
