Chapter 2913: with translation of chapter title
Zheng Ren gently placed that stent onto the sterile drape.
It was completely removed, the stent that had been placed 14 years ago was truly taken out!
Zhu Liangchen stared in disbelief at that stent, which looked like a fossil, his mind going blank.
In his view, even if Zheng Lao Ban could achieve this, he would never have removed it so completely, and there wouldn't even have been a minor bleeding incident during the Shou Bing.
Everything was completed unconsciously in a few hours of "meticulous carving," and Shou Bing had already ended perfectly.
Zhu Liangchen looked at the removed stent and simply couldn't fathom how it had been extracted bit by bit from the bile duct. Even Shou Bing, he followed from start to finish; looking back now, he still had no clue.
"Zheng Lao Ban, your Shou Bing..." Zhu Liangchen said hoarsely.
Zheng Ren didn't communicate with Zhu Liangchen, but looked at the anesthesiologist and said, "Wake up."
"Oh, oh." The anesthesiologist only then reacted, immediately starting to push medication to the patient.
Zhu Liangchen picked up a forceps, preparing to examine this stent covered in mud-like stones. At that moment, recalling the minute details of Zheng Lao Ban doing Shou Bing, Zhu Liangchen seemed to grasp something.
It turned out that a seemingly insignificant maneuver at the time contained so much meaning. By using the energy released from electrohydraulic lithotripsy, he turned it into an invisible scalpel, gradually grinding down the stones bit by bit.
Aside from anything else, just this skill left Zhu Liangchen in awe. He could imagine trying it himself, but he would absolutely be unable to do it.
Zhu Liangchen held the hemostatic forceps, wanting to clamp the stent to examine closely the details of Zheng Ren's Shou Bing just now.
But as soon as the hemostatic forceps touched it, before Zhu Liangchen could apply force, a silent crack appeared, and the segment he clamped snapped off.
"Uh... I didn't use any force," Zhu Liangchen thought dazedly. "Is even the slight pressure of the hemostatic forceps too much? How did Zheng Ren manage to extract it just now?"
"Don't move, let the patient's family have a look." Zheng Ren said lightly, then turned and tore off his sterile gown.
Normally, for an ERCP you don't need to scrub up and wear a sterile gown, but Zheng Ren still did; Zhu Liangchen noticed this detail, though he hasn't yet had a chance to wonder why.
"Zheng... Zheng Lao Ban." Zhu Liangchen asked, "After the patient goes home, does he need any special treatment?"
"Protect the liver, reduce jaundice, anti-inflammatory; nothing else is needed for now, just treat the symptoms." Zheng Ren said while walking out, "Director Zhu, if there's nothing else, I'll head out first."
Zhu Liangchen froze for a moment, then quickly placed the hemostatic forceps on the operating table and followed Zheng Lao Ban out of the Operating Room.
This is a midnight call to save the patient; at the very least, basic courtesy and respect must be maintained. Moreover, Director Kong had previously instructed, how could we let Zheng Lao Ban just leave like that?
Chasing after that mountain-like silhouette, they hurried out of the Operating Room; Zhu Liangchen saw Zheng Lao Ban remove his mask and was talking with Director Kong.
"Director, I didn't bring a car; please have the equipment picked up tomorrow."
Zhu Liangchen didn't catch what was said earlier; he only heard the tail end.
"You don't need to worry." Director Kong said with a smile: "Shou Bing was well done, Zheng Lao Ban's skill is improving."
"Director, please don't joke; these are just basic operations, nothing difficult. It's just that the stent is too fragile, so I dare not work too fast; you've worked hard." Zheng Ren said with a laugh, "Then Su Yun and I will head back first; since you're not on our way, we won't hitch a ride with you."
"Sure, it's already late at night; go rest early." Director Kong also had no intention of keeping them, chuckling: "There's still Shou Bing tomorrow; hurry back."
Saying that, he patted Zheng Ren and Su Yun on the shoulders and spoke gently.
Zhu Liangchen muttered inwardly, Director Kong really isn't the least bit polite.
Seeing Zheng Ren and Su Yun leave directly without even greeting him, he didn't have time to be upset and set off to chase after them.
But his movement stalled, and Director Kong grabbed him.
"Don't go."
"Boss..."
"Zheng Lao Ban usually doesn't like going out for social engagements; it's also late today, I'll arrange another time." Director Kong said lightly.
Zhu Liangchen stared, then finally nodded wearily.
After sending the patient back, Zhu Liangchen pressed Director Kong into his own office, refusing to let him leave no matter what. Zheng Lao Ban didn't dare to stop him, but his own superior wasn't so polite either.
After waiting half an hour, the patient woke up and everything was stable; only then did Zhu Liangchen feel relieved to return.
"Boss, leave the car here, let's go out for a bite." Zhu Liangchen said, "After Shou Bing at this point, I'm starving."
"I'm not eating; I can't hold out." Director Kong laughed: "If you want to eat, whenever you have time, just come to my place; it's not like we don't know each other."
"Okay... tomorrow... tonight I'll bring some liquor, let's have a good chat." Zhu Liangchen realized it was already late at night and corrected himself.
Director Kong gave Zhu Liangchen a meaningful look and said slowly, "Old Five."
"Hmm."
"Last year I went to Haicheng Shi Yiyuan to inspect Zheng Ren, preparing to transfer him to 912; his Shou Bing wasn't as good as now." Director Kong said.
Zhu Liangchen nodded; he could see that Zheng Ren was sprinting forward in the technical field at breakneck speed. This is a miracle that defies gravity, utterly unimaginable.
Even Zhu Liangchen felt he could no longer see Zheng Ren's back; all that lay before him was the fossil-like stent on the blue sterile drape and the fragment that snapped off when he lightly touched it with the hemostatic forceps.
Damn it, how did he manage that!
"Past experience doesn't apply to Zheng Ren; it's Zhou Chun Yong who has a keen eye and low stance." Director Kong said, "Old Five, you should learn more from Director Zhou."
"Hmm." Zhu Liangchen nodded seriously; the things he used to cling to have now largely been let go, "Boss, when it comes to having a keen eye, it's still you."
Director Kong gave a faint smile, an unspoken sense of pride and arrogance.
At the time I went against the consensus, even sucking up to Director Yan and Vice President Yuan, stubbornly transferring Zheng Ren from that godforsaken little place in Haicheng. For that, I even found a few inpatient chiefs to swap.
At the time there were quite a few people below who objected, although nobody said it to their faces.
But now, who dares to criticize? Zheng Ren has used sheer strength to carve out a highway to heaven!
"Alright, no more nonsense." Director Kong let out a yawn and said, "Go home and sleep, but I can't hold out. Just now, watching Zheng Ren do Shou Bing, I almost fell asleep."
"Boss, shall I give you a ride home?"
"Cut the crap, tomorrow I still need to come pick up the car; why are you pretending?" Director Kong said, then yawned and left the Di Du Hepatobiliary.
