305 Can the blindness ailment be cured? (1/4)

Zheng Ren sent Director Xia away, then returned to the Operating Room.

Xie Yiren was tidying the Shujian, disinfecting. After each Shou Bing, the nursing side still had a lot of work to do.

Su Yun smiled as she watched Zheng Ren move to help, but Xie Yiren drove him away, thinking Zheng Ren was such a blockhead, his luck was really good.

Driven away by Xie Yiren, Zheng Ren and Su Yun returned to the Jizhenbingfang.

The first thing after being away from the ward for a long time is to make rounds, especially since yesterday we did a bunch of surgeries; the postoperative patients' condition changes must be grasped, only then will Zheng Ren feel at ease.

Postoperative appendicitis patients, aside from the one who had the open surgery, otherwise as expected, are not in the ward.

The two laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients… actually aren't in the ward either.

Nowadays surgical procedures are minimally invasive; postoperative pain from laparoscopy isn't strong either; patients feel their symptoms are mild; wanting them to stay in the Hospital is simply a fantasy.

Zheng Ren also feels helpless; if patients go home, once something like a traffic accident happens, it would be unclear.

Such things have happened; all doctors feel helpless.

If we forcibly prevent patients from going home, and once they are not in the Hospital they process automatic discharge…… then medical complaints would likely erupt in growth.

Such matters simply cannot be resolved.

Just turn a blind eye.

Zheng Ren sighed, preparing to call the patients' families later to inquire about the situation; if anything is wrong, he will have the patients come back.

Walking to the last ward, pushing the door open, Zheng Ren saw a beaming face.

"Ah, Doctor Zheng, you've come." a girl said with a smile.

Because she is a special patient, Zheng Ren remembers this girl is the fiancée of the young man stabbed with a knife—the responsible girl.

"Hmm, how is your fiancé?" Zheng Ren asked.

The bed was raised into a semi-Fowler's position; the young man half-sat up on the bed, a nasal gastric tube still inserted in his nose, in a nil per os state.

But he looks much better, his face full of the glow of happiness.

"He's doing well today, we've talked a lot." the girl said: "He said yesterday he felt dazed, as if a ghost came to grab him, take him away, scaring him badly."

Saying this, the girl laughed until she couldn't close her mouth.

"There's none, there's none." the boy, somewhat shy, denied with a face all red.

Zheng Ren smiled, said nothing.

"People, after dying once, isn't the feeling different?" Su Yun asked.

The boy's face turned solemn, as if recalling something, he sighed and said: "Doctor, what you said is indeed true."

Silence, the ward was silent. The boy lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

After a long while, he finally lifted his head.

"I dreamed I died, Xiao Fang also committed suicide. The old woman who raised me by pulling me up cried herself blind, then later died. Gone, the whole family is gone." The boy's eyes turned red; even after surgery, with his mind clear, recalling it still filled him with dread to the bone.

At that time, if not for the urinary catheter, he would likely have pissed himself from fright on the Operating table.

Zheng Ren's face was expressionless; Su Yun's mouth corners slightly rose.

"And then what?"

"I was wrong, this time I truly know I was wrong." The boy lifted his head, a bit embarrassed, but his tone was firm: "I want to give Xiao Fang a good life, to support my mother. Before, those fair-weather friends, when disaster struck, not a single one stepped forward."

Zheng Ren smiled.

Seeing the patient's condition, there surely isn't anything wrong.

It makes sense; it's just a colon perforation, sew it up and that's it. Whether postoperative peritoneal infection will occur…… judging by his physical condition, it should be fine.

Alright then, Zheng Ren comforted the patient with a few words, then left the ward with Su Yun.

"Did you cure the blindness ailment?" Su Yun laughed.

"Maybe, who knows. How he goes forward is up to him; we've done all we can." Zheng Ren said softly.

"Don't bother, Zheng Lao Ban. Defrauding patients, falsifying conditions, alarmist talk—this sort of extremely bad conduct is enough to revoke a medical license. Please don't drag me into it; my shoulders are thin, I can't bear it." Su Yun joked.

Zheng Ren just couldn't be bothered to deal with Su Yun's type; when speaking seriously, he never puts on a proper front.

Strolling to the office, Zheng Ren sat down, preparing to read a bit then go to sleep.

Yesterday was busy; tonight perhaps it will be a bit better.

Emergency duties are done; Zheng Ren rarely gets to slow his pace.

Entering, Zheng Ren saw Professor Rudolf Wagner actually sitting in the room, with a solemn face.

"Professor? Why are you here?" Zheng Ren exclaimed in surprise.

Su Yun was speechless inside.

Professor Rudolf Wagner, however you say it, is a globally renowned professor in interventional fields; yet in Zheng Ren's eyes, it's as if he doesn't even see the professor at all. Just returned from the Operating Room, he simply forgot the professor, leaving him behind in his mind.

He really is a strange flower.

"Zheng, I sincerely invite you again; if you agree, I guarantee to set up a research laboratory for prostate interventional surgery within a month." Professor Rudolf Wagner stood up, his blond hair flowing, "Funding and patient aspects are easily settled. As for the leadership issue, we can discuss further."

"……" Su Yun was completely speechless.

Su Yun has done research, understands the importance of leadership authority in a project team.

Many professors and experts basically know nothing; but they can bring in funding, and with funding a project can start. Therefore, the final first author of the whole research will be the person who can bring in funding.

Now it's fine, Professor Rudolf Wagner takes care of various matters, all to get Zheng Ren to go to Heidelberg University in Germany?

When did he become so valuable?

Zheng Ren smiled and said: "Professor, I'm really sorry, I'm swamped on my end, can't free myself. If you're interested, you can talk to Director Kong about this."

Professor Rudolf Wagner, upon hearing Zheng Ren's words, his eyes lit up immediately.

Exactly, what Zheng Ren said is indeed a splendid idea.

When top hospitals worldwide join forces, it greatly helps one's application for donations from foundations.

"It's getting late, Professor." Zheng Ren said: "You should go back and rest; you worked hard yesterday."

Professor Rudolf Wagner looked at Zheng Ren's eyes, and said seriously: "Zheng, if you cannot go to Heidelberg, I am willing to stay here for a while."

"Then let it be daytime; daytime work is also very busy, a professor like you will be able to play a greater role." Zheng Ren said perfunctorily.

He really didn't want to be on duty together with Professor Rudolf Wagner; this guy is just too... unlucky.

The night shift god basically harbors deep hostility toward him. If the professor stays another night, Zheng Ren fears tonight will be another sleepless night.

After much persuasion, they managed to convince Professor Rudolf Wagner to leave.

Watching him get into the car, Zheng Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go check the emergency room, then go back to sleep." Su Yun said.

Zheng Ren nodded.
