Chapter 3118

Ning Shu, you've only had this for 24 hours, the edema isn't serious. Zheng Ren took the laryngoscope equipment and walked into the room under Su Yun's astonished gaze.

He didn't wait for Su Yun to question him, he spoke directly. He was like a child who had done something wrong, coming out with the laryngoscope, afraid someone would ask where it came from, and even speaking with Xie Ning went more smoothly.

Xie Ning smiled, trying to maintain a steady expression.

When I was interning in school, I encountered a patient; back then I didn't understand much, but now looking back it's especially scary. Zheng Ren said offhand.

This kind of Technique dog, even when chatting with someone, wanting to keep talking endlessly, only has one situation—stating the case.

It's not because of gossip, just a habit. Wanting to say something else, Zheng Ren doesn't even know what to say.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, but Zheng Ren didn't notice, asked Xie Ning about the anesthesia time, then began examining the sterile-packaged tweezers, tongue depressors, etc. brought by Feng Xu Hui.

The patient I previously encountered came to the Hospital for a fish bone stuck for a week; the condition wasn't serious. He just felt Uncomfortable, not good, so he came to the Hospital. Seeing nothing wrong, I still thought the fish bone should be removed quickly, so I took him to see the Teacher.

The fish bone had been lodged for a week; theoretically it's dangerous, but I hadn't seen such a case back then. Zheng Ren smiled, feeling he was gentle and friendly.

Under Ning Shu's strong aura and the halo of reaction, Zheng Ren, like an idiot, completely failed to notice Su Yun's continually changing expression and Xie Ning's and Lin Wan's ugly looks.

The Teacher used an indirect laryngoscope to look, but the patient's tongue tie was too short, nothing was seen, and finally decided to check with a fiber laryngoscope.

I gave the patient local anesthetic and told him to hold it; I'll come find him in 10 Minute. Zheng Ren was still preparing, carefully checking each instrument, fearing any mishap, "The result was, less than 10 Minute later, someone shouted that something had happened from the restroom."

I ran over and saw the patient lying on the restroom floor. Quickly I lifted him into the Emergency Resuscitation Room; his neck had swollen into a big lump. My Teacher performed a tracheotomy on him, and that blood—it went straight up.

Xie Ning hearing this could no longer stay calm. Zheng Ren this brat was hinting at something to him?! Su Yun wanted to stop the boss's suicidal awkward small talk, but seeing he was already preparing to insert the laryngoscope into the nostrils, she immediately shut up.

At this point Su Yun had even forgotten to ask where he got the laryngoscope; from this angle, Zheng Ren was quite successful.

I was holding the rubber ball, the Teacher was pressing on the neck, sending the patient straight to ICU. Then the whole hospital held an emergency consultation on stage, with the thyroid department and Blood Vessel department coordinating closely, plus the general thoracic staff, and after a nine‑hour surgery we finally managed to save the patient.

The laryngoscope had already gone in; Zheng Ren's technique was very gentle. As it passed the pharynx, Su Yun faintly saw the laryngoscope twitch twice. He wasn't even sure if it was his eyes playing tricks, but looking closely at Xie Ning, there was not the slightest gag reflex sensation.

Boss, is he avoiding the nerve? Or is there still a faint trace of anesthetic elsewhere? Just this move alone is enough to astonish the world. If… this guy weren't saying such a buzzkill while doing a laryngoscope fish‑bone removal for his own father‑in‑law, the effect would be even better.

"That time I went up on stage, I was only responsible for the retractor, and when I came down my legs were a bit swollen."

"You guess what? Actually the fish bone was originally located near the carotid artery, and with long‑term infection and decay, the local tissue became congested and swollen, thin and fragile. Because it was close to the artery, applying force caused problems."

Saying this, Zheng Ren made a gesture.

Su Yun understood and immediately assisted with the laryngoscope. Zheng Ren picked up the tongue depressor, pressed down the tongue, and the tweezers went in.

"Why did it bleed heavily? The teachers said it was just a fluke. It was also lucky that it was a fluke; otherwise, a mere two‑minute delay would have been fatal."

The tweezers had already gone in while he was speaking; Zheng Ren watched the fiber‑optic laryngoscope's lens, and the tweezers made a slight movement in the pyriform fossa before being withdrawn.

"Here, this is the fish bone, it's out." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"What then?" Xie Ning asked, and then he made a swallowing motion; the feeling of a bone stuck in the throat vanished completely.

In a world without fish bones, even the snowflakes drifting across the sky feel simple and pure. Even the heavy clouds outside the window are no longer oppressive, set against Stockholm's ancient buildings, making them feel all the more substantial.

"But I think it's because of a throat infection; the patient has a lot of phlegm, and after local anesthesia the throat's reflexes are almost gone, so the phlegm can't come out."

Zheng Ren used tweezers to place an almost transparent 2.2 cm fish bone onto the gauze, then began tidying up habitually.

"But the patient still felt uncomfortable, couldn't bring up phlegm. In trying to get the phlegm out by pressing on the throat or coughing violently, the fish bone went deeper, piercing the blood vessel. Moreover, because of the local anesthetic, the pain of the penetration might have been overlooked, and various coincidences ultimately led to this outcome."

"Of course, I'm only considering a minimal possibility, so from now on when I encounter similar patients I will repeatedly warn them: never try to force it down with a steamed bun, that's too dangerous!"

After tidying up, Zheng Ren let out a breath. At that moment Xie Ning was staring blankly at the 2.2 cm fish bone on the gauze—just this little thing had tormented him all day?

"Zheng Ren, are you alright?" Xie Yiren's voice trembled slightly.

"Huh? I'm fine!" Zheng Ren said cheerfully, "Just a fish bone; this time I was very meticulous—if it were in a hospital, the time could probably be cut in half."

"..."

Xie Ning felt that his cheap son‑in‑law was scolding him.

"How long did he take? He hadn't even finished explaining one case, two minutes? Roughly that. I myself spent twenty‑four hours, and at Karolinska Hospital the waiting, examination, and attempts to remove it before and after took about eight hours."

And Zheng Ren actually said two minutes was long; if it were at 912, this guy could get it out in one minute.

Is the medical gap really that huge? No way!

Xie Ning knew Zheng Ren's surgical skill was not ordinary, but how could the difference be so great! Just remember, the place he'd just gone to was Karolinska Hospital, Sweden's top, world‑leading Karolinska Hospital!

While waiting for Zheng Ren earlier, I had even thought I might have misunderstood. My condition might truly be serious, and the doctors at Karolinska Hospital had exhausted every effort yet still couldn't resolve it.

But all of this was completely resolved within two minutes, everything feeling like a dream.

A single 2.2 cm fish bone shattered the worldview that Xie Ning had built up over forty or fifty years of countless experiences.
