Chapter 31: with translation of chapter title

【I just arrived, who told me why the live broadcast of doing appendicitis is such a low-class Shou Bing?】

【Low-class? When you can finish one appendicitis in three Minute, this all becomes art. Art, get it?】

【Agree, I watched all night, today I directly took leave. I want to see how many appendectomy Shou Bing the surgeon can do. Parentheses, in one breath.】

Zheng Ren is doing a simple appendectomy Shou Bing; in itself there's nothing to see, no matter how skilled and exquisite the technique, those watching the livestream will get bored if they watch too much.

Besides newcomers marveling at how skilled the surgeon's Shou Bing is, and being mocked being a highlight, the doctors who persist in watching in the livestream most want to know how many appendectomy Shou Bing the surgeon can do in one breath.

This is definitely a national record, even those competing don't have it.

The only suspense is how shocking the number of this record is, for posterity to admire.

【Is this a person doing Shou Bing? How can it be so fast?】

【The Shou Bing incision is not the standard McBurney's point, but each time the opening estimated by sight is the point closest to the appendix. Help, is there any new test item that can locate the appendix position?】

【Young man, don't be childish. The surgeon has been doing Shou Bing, and pre-op looking at patients is also in the Operating Room. There definitely won't be any new detection methods; it should be rich clinical experience giving him extremely precise judgment.】

none.

The doctors watching the livestream have an illusion, as if the surgeon will keep doing Shou Bing forever.

If mountains have no ridges and heaven and earth unite, then one would dare not do Shou Bing.

At 9:15, when the patient was lifted off the Shou Bing bed, the next patient still hadn't lain down.

none.

The doctors watching the livestream all felt a bit dazed.

Ten Minute later, they finally confirmed, even the expert doing appendectomy Shou Bing had finally completed all acute appendicitis cases in the city and surrounding counties.

【Finally finished, I watched for fifteen hours.】

none.

none.

Less than 24 hours, 49 appendectomy Shou Bing were done; this number makes people dizzy. Perhaps if it were changed to one's own Hospital, even the anesthesia time wouldn't be enough.

Put yourself in their shoes, the doctors watching the livestream are all discouraged; their level, their Technique strength, their instrument nurses, their anesthesiologists.

Zheng Ren appears again.

none.

none.

After finishing the last emergency appendectomy Shou Bing, Zheng Ren finally stepped down.

He hesitated a moment, didn't call Xie Yiren. That girl must be sleeping; no matter how straight-laced Zheng Ren is, he still has some emotional intelligence.

Director Pan

Director Pan, it's me.

Mm-hmm, I'll go down right away.

After a brief exchange, Zheng Ren changed his clothes, didn't even have time to shower, left the Operating Room, and rushed to the General Surgery Department's demonstration classroom.

Upon reaching the floor where the General Surgery Department is located, as the Elevator doors opened, Zheng Ren froze.

A strong smell hit him in the face.

This smell was very familiar to Zheng Ren: it was the mix of stinky feet, disinfectant, the smell of a blanket-held fart from overnight, food odor, and the stench drifting from the bathroom—all together called the smell of busyness.

Now the National Health Commission doesn't allow tertiary hospitals to add beds, and Zheng Ren hasn't smelled this familiar odor for about two years.

He realized this was the fuss caused by doing dozens of Appendectomies in one night, with the patient ward overflowing.

It truly felt like coming home; Zheng Ren didn't dislike this smell, but instead felt increasingly at ease, as if he had returned to his youthful days when he first arrived at City First Hospital.

Arriving at the demonstration classroom door, Zheng Ren raised his hand and knocked.

From inside the demonstration classroom came a loud scolding, and no one paid attention to Zheng Ren's knocking.

He pushed the door open and entered, seeing the Director of Medical Affairs sitting in front of the projector, opposite him were Director Liu of General Surgery Department One, Director Sun of General Surgery Department Two, as well as the various Deputy Chiefs and Inpatient Chiefs.

Director Pan leisurely sat by the window, his fingers lightly tapping the worn cover of the Pipe and Awl Chapter, the rhythm so pleasant.

"Director Liu, you are now a backbone of our hospital—how can you act like this?" the Director of Medical Affairs said sternly, "Do you still have any sense of the bigger picture?"

Director Liu's lips twitched, but he neither spoke to refute nor stood up to shamelessly apologize.

"This morning the hospital leadership was holding a morning meeting when Head Nurse Li barged in." the Director of Medical Affairs continued, "You know Head Nurse Li's temper— the point is what she said made sense. Your handling of this matter..."

"After an urgent consultation among the hospital leadership, this matter is settled; from now on, emergency appendicitis will be handled by the Emergency Department." Finally, the Director of Medical Affairs gave a definitive conclusion.

"I want to do it, but what about manpower?" Director Pan asked leisurely.

The two directors of the General Surgery Department are no longer in Director Pan's sight; they were defeated badly, and if anyone dares to lose their temper, there are forty-nine videos to slap them in the face.

Forty-nine consecutive hits—who could endure that?

"Director Pan, don't rush," said the Director of Medical Affairs, who had a headache about this. As medical disputes increase and medical disturbances have become a new occupational backdrop, hospitals nationwide are short-staffed, especially the Emergency Department and Pediatrics.

But it's not just these two departments; other departments also have varying degrees of staff shortage, only that the shortage in these two is the most severe.

Director Pan, being senior, will slam the table and curse if provoked; the Director of Medical Affairs doesn't want to touch that hot potato.

With elders, one must show respect and coax them. But this time, the troublemaker who started the commotion has entered, and the Director of Medical Affairs acts as if he didn't see him. If it were anyone else, regardless of right or wrong, the first thing would be to curse him out profusely—no matter how capable he is, the hospital would still see patients normally without anyone.

"Chief, I have an opinion." Director Liu stood up, gave a look, and Cen Meng, steeling himself, went to the computer operating the projector, beginning to search for something.

"If you have an opinion, keep it to yourself; this is the hospital leadership's view." The Director of Medical Affairs was firm, leaving no room for maneuver.

Director Liu had long expected such a reply; he also ignored the Director of Medical Affairs' words, looked at Director Pan, and said, "I remember Zheng Ren saying that if it's simple appendicitis, he can achieve an incisionless procedure."

Saying that, Cen Meng had already found the video of Zheng Ren speaking with Xie Yiren during the surgery and projected it directly.

"Well, if it's simple appendicitis, I can achieve an incisionless procedure." Zheng Ren's words were clearly heard by everyone present.

"If he can do it, I'll resign." Director Liu grabbed Zheng Ren's single braid, like a dog biting onto a turd, refusing to let go no matter what.

Even Director Liu didn't hesitate to set a resignation flag, just to save a shred of face in the end.

"You wouldn't take the Operating Room joke seriously, would you?" Director Pan chuckled and said, "I really doubt how you've been doing your surgery all these years."

"Director Liu, I also think Zheng Ren is joking; please don't make trouble for no reason, okay?"

"How am I making trouble for no reason?" Director Liu's eyes were red, he stiffened his neck, and said: "I admit his surgery is indeed good, but it's not better than mine... how much better?"

Even in his final protest, Director Liu couldn't say that his level of appendicitis treatment was the same as Zheng Ren's. Under everyone's gaze, who doesn't know who? If you don't have a clear idea in your heart, you'll be stabbed in the back and scolded to death later.

"But I took his words seriously. Anyway, I've put my words out there: if he can do the incision-less appendectomy, I don't care who does the appendectomies, I'll just resign directly."

""Villain." Director Pan showed contempt."

"Director Liu, you can't be so hot-headed." The Director of Medical Affairs, speaking earnestly, wanted to persuade Director Liu not to escalate things further. Now Director Pan has stood firm on his reasoning; if they push him to demand staffing be completed within a day or two... I'm afraid many people in the hospital administration will jump to their deaths.

"Director Liu, I don't demand you resign; you just need to promise that from now on, the General Surgery Department won't touch any acute appendicitis cases. Listen carefully, it's the General Surgery Department, not General Surgery Department One." Zheng Ren glanced sideways at Director Liu and stood his ground.

Damn, crazy, everyone's crazy.

Incision-less appendicitis? Who's ever heard of that?! Zheng Ren must be muddle-headed from doing surgery; how could he bring up this topic?
