Chapter 3020: with translation of chapter title

Thus many glossary terms appear.

We need to list each named entity that appears. The glossary includes terms like "Zheng Ren", "Su Yun", "Zheng Lao Ban", "Zhou Chun Yong", "Peng lao", "Boss", "Title: Teacher", "Professor Su", "Xiehe", "Di Du", "Medical University Affiliated Hospital", "Hospital", "Ming", "Fu Yuan", "Bone", "Titanium Clip", "Transparent Cap", "Shou Bing", "Thoracoscope", "Technique", "Understanding", "Impact", "Balance", "Worry", "Argument", "Nobel Prize", "Cardiothoracic Surgery", "Thoracic", "Persistence", "Uncomfortable".

But some of these are not proper nouns but common words like "Technique", "Understanding", etc. According to rules, we exclude common words/objects, generic forms of address (not ranks). So we should only include actual named entities: person names, place names, organization names, ranks/titles, techniques (if they are named techniques), cultivation realms/pills/treasures, named beasts/items, fan-fiction names.

Thus from glossary, we need to decide which are actual named entities appearing.

Now we need to output the glossary list after all lines. The format:

Even when eating rice, they couldn't get full, let alone meat. At that time, seeing a bowl of red-braised pork, their eyes turned green with hunger, like a starving wild wolf in the wilderness.

Twenty-year-old Bao Longtao and his classmates had no oily food in their stomachs; each month after receiving their meat coupons, Peng lao would invite them to his home to eat something with meat and fish.

This is a special memory belonging to that era.

Now Bao Longtao is tired of eating anything; at home, most of the time he eats plain congee and small dishes to relieve the greasiness.

But whether it's plain congee and side dishes or mountain delicacies and seafood, eating them always lacks countless flavors compared to the modest meat dishes his teacher's wife used to make.

Thinking of the elderly person reaching the end of life, the meaty flavor he had missed for so many years could only become a memory, making Bao Longtao feel especially Uncomfortable. Memories from years ago surged in his heart, his emotions surged, and his eyes unknowingly grew moist.

"Director, Zheng Lao Ban is still pondering."

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chun Yong softly advised.

"Zheng Lao Ban… sigh." Bao Longtao sighed, shook his head slightly, and didn't say anything unpleasant.

It's just old age; the Zenker diverticulum is merely a trigger. If it were twenty years ago, this wouldn't even be considered an illness—hospitalization and surgery, discharge after a week, with no impact on the body.

But for an 84-year-old, to put it bluntly, even staying still can cause bits to fall off. Once there's the slightest disturbance, any so-called 'minor' issue like a final fracture in life could be fatal.

Once the Zenker diverticulum disrupts the body's original balance point, the whole body will plummet at an accelerating rate until death is the endpoint.

Zheng Lao Ban… people mean well; from the moment he arrived, he has been arguing with Professor Su. Sometimes they speak softly, sometimes someone insists on their view, adopting a quarrelsome posture.

More often, both are silently thinking, focused like the Thinker statue.

The pen given by the waiter lightly sketches on paper; the sketch is indeed good, Zheng Lao Ban has a solid art foundation. But besides that, Bao Longtao doesn't think he can solve the problem of an 84-year-old's Zenker diverticulum.

After waiting half an hour, Bao Longtao wasn't anxious; instead, he chatted in the group with a few old classmates about gathering tomorrow and reminiscing about the past.

As people age, they like to reminisce and summarize; Bao Longtao is no exception.

Many details from his youth were dug out from dusty corners, yet they still carry that fresh, youthful flavor.

Thinking of sending the elderly person off tomorrow, Bao Longtao pondered what he needed to do, feeling somewhat absent-minded. The weather isn't good; outside, dark clouds gather, looking like it will snow soon—may the elderly person not insist on staying until he can return home.

"Done!" Su Yun suddenly shouted loudly, startling Bao Longtao into a jerk.

"" Bao Longtao didn't know how to describe it, interrupted in his reminiscence, almost scared into a heart attack—do today's young people not know how to respect this elderly person?

"Director Bao, Old Zhou, the surgical plan is ready." Su Yun held the final sketch, smiling as he walked to the table and "slapped" the noodles in front of Bao Longtao.

Bao Longtao looked at a delicate sketch, not realistic but more expressive, even… he felt it was a three-dimensional geometric conclusion formula.

"Professor Su, the teacher and his wife have already decided to discharge themselves; by now they should already be at their home in Di Du." Bao Longtao sighed, "The elderly person wants to return to his roots; recently recuperating at the Shu Fu residence has been fine, but returning to his hometown requires an eight- to nine-hour drive, and they worry that delaying further will make it impossible to go back."

Su Yun blinked slightly, then said, "It's just a Zenker diverticulum; once cured, he can return anytime. Wanting to return to his roots, that leaf could probably stay on the treetop for another three to five years without problem."

"" Bao Longtao looked at Su Yun with a bewildered face, not knowing who gave this young man such confidence.

In the Shu Fu residence, nearly the nation's top cardiothoracic surgery and geriatrics experts have examined the elderly person's records; aside from attempting a risky combined neck and chest incision, there's little else they can do.

"Professor Su, are you planning to use an interventional approach?" Zhou Chun Yong said full of anticipation, hoping Zheng Lao Ban and Su Yun could once again fly beyond the heavens, solving this problem with a divine stroke.

"Old Zhou, what are you thinking!" Su Yun said disdainfully, "If it were a few years earlier, Zenker diverticulum could be solved with titanium clips and transparent caps, but unfortunately that technology wasn't mature then."

"It's not that it wasn't mature; it simply hadn't been invented yet." Zheng Ren corrected.

"Basically, the Zenker diverticulum is now too large to be resolved with endoscopy or diverticuloscopy." Su Yun said, "The combined neck and chest incision causes too much trauma; I and the boss have designed a procedure using thoracoscopy to resolve it."

Designed a procedure…

Bao Longtao and Zhou Chun Yong were both stunned.

What the heck is this talking about? Offhand, designing and solving specific diseases based on each patient's condition?

Actually, every surgery more or less involves similar situations; that's called adapting on the fly. No one can step into the same river twice, nor can anyone perform two identical surgeries.

But to fundamentally re-plan a brand-new procedure from scratch—that's creation! Just like a new TIPS procedure, it's called the Zheng-Rudolf procedure.

However, that is a Nobel Prize–winning procedure; how long ago did that pass? An hour? And the procedure was already created?!

Bao Longtao, relying on his decades of clinical experience, believes this is impossible.

"Director Bao, the most we can do is this. Originally I thought I'd just show this picture to the teachers at Shu Fu and they'd understand; the surgery should be doable, boss, so don't go showing off. But now the elderly person has discharged himself, we can go to 912, and I and the boss can go on stage!" Su Yun said, slightly overexcited.

As someone from Xiehe, he rarely returns there; after all, seeing anyone requires calling them Teacher, which lacks the straightforward fun of going to a place like Medical University Affiliated Hospital and smashing people with medical records.

Upon hearing the news of the elderly person's discharge, Su Yun became even more interested, looking at Bao Longtao and saying, "This way, Director Bao, hurry up and send the drawings to the professionals for review. Saying it bluntly, it's not that I'm lazy to explain; it's because specialties are as different as mountains, and you, being a senior doctor of several decades, surely understand this."

Bao Longtao laughed helplessly; frankly, he doesn't really understand Zenker diverticulum himself, and as for the new procedure Zheng Lao Ban and Professor Su researched, he probably wouldn't grasp it either, let alone its subtle details.

As a favor to Zheng Lao Ban and Professor Su, Bao Longtao nodded, took a photo of that sketch, and simultaneously sent it to several people.
