Chapter 3042: line with translation of chapter title

"Shou Bing was…… really good." Watching Zheng Ren and Su Yun leave, the nurse standing aside said softly.

"That's right, Zheng Lao Ban previously came here to save the table, you know." Professor Liu escorted Zheng Ren to the Operating Room door and then hurried back, after all the patient was still lying on the Operating table.

The important problem solved, he just needs to take out the bile duct stone.

The a helical catheter head broken off inside was quietly placed aside; Professor Liu glanced at it, let out a long sigh, but said nothing.

"Professor Liu, what if Zheng Lao Ban isn't here?" the nurse asked.

The atmosphere in the Operating Room is extremely relaxed; for the previous two hours nobody dared to breathe, finally able to relax a bit.

"Cut open the large RT muscle, the catheter is very likely to come out on its own." Professor Liu said.

"Can it come out on its own?"

"The guidewire is very thin, with a diameter of only 0.91mm, while the main pancreatic duct diameter varies greatly but is always larger than the guidewire diameter, so I estimate the possibility of it coming out is high." Professor Liu said, "The main pancreatic duct is related to the patient's age and body type; in elderly people the pancreatic duct diameter is larger, the maximum diameter of the pancreatic duct in the head is about 6mm, in the body 5mm, in the tail 3mm; moreover, the pancreatic duct, like the bile duct, has motility, which could allow the guidewire to exit on its own."

"What if it doesn't come out?"

"The only concern is whether the main pancreatic duct sphincter is open, and leaving a nasopancreatic drainage tube may occupy some space, and the drainage tube's aperture is finer, which would increase the difficulty of the guidewire exiting, so I was just about to give up continuing to leave the nasopancreatic drainage tube."

Professor Liu spoke lightly, quickly advancing the guidewire into the patient's common bile duct and began imaging.

The imaging showed the stone located at the lower end of the common bile duct, and he had already begun preparing the basket.

"If that's the case, you'll probably lose sleep for several days afterward." The nurse joked.

"That's certain, if the broken catheter head gets stuck somewhere, that's a problem. Afterwards we still have to explain to the patient's family; although we're familiar, it's not easy to say that out loud."

Speaking, Professor Liu turned his wrist, "At that time I saw Zheng Lao Ban's hand move like this, then the guidewire got caught, and..."

"Don't show off!" the nurse hurriedly said, "Hurry up and finish the operation; if you drop the basket inside, how could you possibly call Zheng Lao Ban back? Even if Zheng Lao Ban were willing to come back, do you have the face to say that?"

Hearing the nurse say that, Professor Liu shivered. If this situation really occurred, I estimate I really wouldn't have the face to call Zheng Lao Ban back. What would I say upon returning? I showed off on the stage and ended up exposing my butt? Saying that, do you still want face or not?

"Zheng Lao Ban's level is truly high, and his temper is pretty good, he even teaches Miyamoto. Speaking of Miyamoto, what have you learned?" the nurse asked the young doctor with a smile.

The young Miyamoto doctor's head is all mush now; he shook his head.

"Not like the legend." Professor Liu looked at the impact of the imaging and said, "Just that move just now, do you know where the hardest part is?"

"Grabbing the guidewire, right? I saw you try two or three times and didn't catch it."

"No, it's grabbing the broken a helical catheter head and pulling it out." Professor Liu said, "At first I thought Zheng Lao Ban was trying to teach me, but Professor Su said there was a medical dispute, he got anxious, I watched until my eyes were blurred and still didn't see exactly what technique he used to pull out the a helical catheter head."

"Medical dispute? How come I haven't seen you go?" the nurse asked.

"If only experts registered with the Health Bureau are qualified to go, and they don't pay, it's just pointless hassle, so I haven't registered. Besides, the cases that require an expert team are all those difficult disputes, each one offending someone—either offending Party A or Party B—why bother?"

"You sound so busy." The nurse said disdainfully, "It's just because they don't pay. Professor Liu, how would you judge a case where gauze falls into the abdomen?"

"If it happened in our hospital we'd just have to pay, what else can we do." Professor Liu sighed and said, "This is a big deal; otherwise why would we need Triple Check Seven Verification? Once, Old Wang from the Orthopedics Department did a surgery, a 20-minute operation, and they searched for gauze at three spots."

"Ah? What surgery?"

"It's just a fracture, they installed a plate." Professor Liu, while using the basket to hold the stone, gossiped, "Everyone was talking and laughing, the surgery went quickly. This side has already started suturing the skin, the circulating nurse said something was wrong. The gauze count was correct, but one piece of gauze was missing a corner. You say, if the whole piece were missing, could you still spot it with a fluoroscope, do gauze pieces all have metal strips?"

"Then what?" the nurse asked curiously.

"When installing the plate, the electric drill brought a bit of gauze in, and then it cut the incision open again, equivalent to redoing the surgery." Professor Liu said: "This is still simple; the worst is when the needle in microsurgery breaks, 'pop', the needle tip flies out. Holding a magnet, we search the whole operating room, not even digging three feet deep can we find where it is."

"You say, the needle tip is so fine the eyes can't see it, trying to find it is like daydreaming."

The nurses in the endoscopy room basically never encounter such things; if a similar situation occurs during surgery, they all keep it to themselves, only when they've had too much to drink will the parties involved gossip about it.

The bile duct stone was finally taken out; Professor Liu looked at the stone and the a helical catheter head placed beside it, and let out a sigh of relief.

He couldn't even be bothered to look at the young doctor called Miyamoto; he just knows how to cause trouble, good for nothing else.

"Old Wu, thank you." Professor Liu said, "What does Zheng Lao Ban want with you?"

"It's not Zheng Lao Ban looking for me, it's Director Zhou of the Di Du Liver and Gallbladder department looking for me. A patient who has been coughing for over a year without diagnosis recently developed urinary incontinence; Zheng Lao Ban diagnosed it as a diaphragmatic hernia, and needs a gastroscopy."

"【...】" Professor Liu, hearing the condition description and the needed examination and diagnosis, was left speechless.

"Besides, Zheng Lao Ban's diagnosis is truly correct."

"Old Wu, when you have time, go eat a meal with Zheng Lao Ban; I need to sincerely thank him." Professor Liu waited for the patient to wake up, and said sincerely.

"There's no time; Zheng Lao Ban came up to save the table, the dean invited guests and didn't go, we just happened to run into each other." Professor Wu still had some sense in his mind, "Zhou Chun Yong has good luck; I saw Zheng Lao Ban go to the emergency room, and even said hello to him before leaving."

"Zhou Chun Yong……"

"That's right, the patient undergoing gastroscopy has some connection with Zhou Chun Yong. Your luck seems to be turning around; otherwise how could you have run into Zheng Lao Ban." Professor Wu patted his shoulder and said, "Listen to me, take some time off to rest a few days, go out and have fun, and when you come back your luck might turn."
