Chapter 3031: 2831 The Future Can Only Be Minimally Invasive

"This……" Feng Jianguo asked hesitantly.

"More or less like that." Zheng Ren saw Feng Jianguo hadn't sat down, so he also stood and said, "My experience learning endoscopic technique is basically not being afraid of mishaps. Why? Because if something goes wrong, I can handle it myself."

Zheng Ren speaking while standing doesn't hurt his waist, and it's not entirely a lie. The system operating room… also counts as being able to solve problems when they arise; in fact, it basically needs no fixing—just sum up the experience and lessons, and try again.

However, looking at this from Feng Jianguo's perspective, Zheng Ren thought even more thoroughly, and what Su Yun said was fine.

What's there to fear about new technology? The biggest obstacle isn't being unable to learn, but the high risk. For someone who already has a meal to eat… simply put, it's the difference between being barefoot and wearing shoes.

Actually, although it's called new technology, its core is still rooted in the most basic anatomical structure and pathophysiological knowledge.

The reason progress is slow is because of fear of mishaps. When circulatory intervention was aggressively promoted, many patients with cardiac tamponade occurred; some couldn't be rescued, and for others, cardiothoracic surgery had to handle the aftermath.

But Feng Jianguo has no worries in this regard; if he can't do it himself, he'll just operate. Everything is clear in his chest, and his advantage over Director Luo's side is more than just a little bit.

"Brother Feng, don't worry, these so-called new technologies are trivial for you." Zheng Ren said with a smile, "For example, today we're going to perform a total thoracoscopic giant esophageal diverticulum with intrathoracic esophageal side-to-side anastomosis; if the patient were a bit younger, it could be resolved via the diverticuloscope."

"If the diverticuloscope fails, we just cut open—it's not that we can't or won't do it." Su Yun said with a smile, "No problem, you old surgeon, why are you so full of reservations?"

Zheng Ren and Su Yun repeatedly instructed and enlightened Feng Jianguo.

Actually, the principle is very simple—just a thin layer of window paper. Feng Jianguo was just knocked silly by a stick from the student he brought last night.

Plus, he's older, so he tends to have a mindset of sticking to his old ways; his drive and ideas to push forward aren't as strong as a young person's, which is why he didn't think of it for a moment.

"Boss Zheng, lately……" Feng Jianguo asked hesitantly.

"Recently I might not have time; actually, no need to teach—just watch it twice and you'll be familiar, the operation is really simple." Zheng Ren said with a smile, "It's mainly a matter of mindset; it's much simpler than when you first encountered laparoscopic equipment after starting in surgery."

"Alright, then I'll go try it." Feng Jianguo nodded, taking a deep breath.

No matter how many times you explain the principle, it's still there; concretely, it's up to you! With that determination, nothing can't be done.

Or should I swallow my pride and let Xiao Cao teach me? Feng Jianguo left the intervention ward, walking and thinking.

But Xiao Cao is his own disciple, his own student; he can't just lower his face for a while. Teacher's dignity must be upheld; he can't just casually do that.

Or…… Feng Jianguo pondered as he walked, and turning a corner he nearly bumped head‑on into someone.

Beside him was a cart; it looked like it was bringing a patient's family member.

Feng Jianguo jumped, tried to dodge sideways, but after a closer look, the person he almost collided with turned out to be…… Director Yan.

"Director." Feng Jianguo stared for a moment, then whispered a greeting.

But Director Yan didn't acknowledge him; instead, she was speaking with an elderly person beside her.

It seemed to be Peng Lao…… Only then did Feng Jianguo recall that Boss Zheng had just mentioned wanting to operate on someone.

Was it Peng Lao's family? He took another careful look and saw an elderly lady lying on the cart, her mind still fairly clear, and she was curiously looking around.

The surgery Boss Zheng mentioned using the thoracoscope was actually for Peng Lao's spouse; she seemed to be over eighty, Feng Jianguo mused, watching the crowd enter the intervention ward.

He really should have gone to the VIP ward; Feng Jianguo sighed and muttered to himself.

Whoever comes to the door for surgery proves the surgeon's ability from the side. Peng Lao, an academician of both institutes, is a towering figure in the medical world; not going to Shuai Fu for 912, but instead being pushed straight to the intervention department—Boss Zheng is mighty!

……

……

"Peng Lao, let Boss Zheng take a look first; the VIP ward side has already been arranged." Director Yan said to Peng Lao while discussing their side's arrangements.

"Thank you, Xiao Yan." Peng Lao held his lover's hand and said with a smile.

"Qingqiu."

"Director."

"Go handle the paperwork."

"Okay."

Ye Qingqiu has now become an intern doing odd jobs; just after contacting, Boss Zheng had already arrived at the hospital, and Ye Qingqiu hurried all the way to the doctors' office in the intervention department.

Completing admission procedures, preoperative signatures—everything is routine. With Chang Yue in the medical team, the person running the paperwork is still the head of the 912 Medical Department; everything went smoothly, and after handing over shift, they went straight into surgery.

The emergency operating theater is up and running; everything is ready.

Zheng Ren weighed it up, and amid Su Yun's laughter he didn't stop his own surgery, waiting to resume after this side finishes.

Whether it's Gao Shaojie, Lin Yuan, or Gu Xiao Ran, they're all capable of working independently; sent out they'd be fully qualified surgeons, yet Zheng Ren still subconsciously feels that everything they do in surgery is wrong.

After glancing at Peng Lao's beloved, under Director Yan's tiger‑like stare, Zheng Ren could only perform numerous unnecessary physical exams to prove he was doing his best.

Some superficial formalities still need to be done; otherwise Zheng Ren would feel it's too hasty, not given enough importance.

Su Yun watched on the side, smiling narrowly; his boss's acting skills are getting better and better. Although it's not exactly a prop‑less performance, the whole process looks perfect, fully expressing the doctor's professionalism.

When one wanders the jianghu, one always ends up doing many unnecessary things—it's a matter of attitude.

After finishing the physical exam, they first sent the elderly person to an empty ward to wait for the operating room; Director Yan took the opportunity to pull Zheng Ren aside.

"Little Zheng, how confident are you about the surgery?" Director Yan frowned, asking tensely.

"Quite confident." Zheng Ren said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I estimate the patient will be discharged soon after surgery."

Director Yan let out a soft sigh, really not knowing how to say about this uncontrollable Boss Zheng under her.

Shuai Fu had already given a clear diagnostic opinion, and Peng Lao had also arranged for self‑discharge; he apparently doesn't mind trouble at all, and it's said he went to Peng Lao's house last night to persuade him.

Doing this well would surely forge endless good karma, but if it's done poorly?! Adding Shuai Fu's diagnosis and treatment together with Peng Lao's opinion, Director Yan looked at Zheng Ren's kind, honest face and felt endless anguish.

Being too capable also won't do; you say, what kind of thing is this high‑difficulty surgery trying to take on oneself?

But everyone has come, we might as well go ahead with Shou Bing; as for the result... now, aside from believing Zheng Lao Ban, there's nothing we can do.
