Chapter 33: with translation of chapter title

"Little Zheng!" Director Pan almost shouted to stop Zheng Ren from continuing to be reckless; being so reckless will get someone killed.

It's damn embarrassing, damn clueless about priorities.

Even Director Liu was stunned, looking at Zheng Ren, not knowing what medicine he was selling from his gourd. Zheng Ren is not stupid; this point is absolutely correct. One day and one night, he performed forty-nine appendectomies, the surgeries were so perfect that even Director Liu, who is famed as Hai Cheng's top surgeon, could find no fault.

If he were really an idiot, could he achieve this?

But Zheng Ren's confident expression instantly shook Director Liu's confidence.

Upon second thought, this kind of thing is simply impossible; how could there be a surgical method for an appendectomy without an incision?

In a daze, Zheng Ren walked to the projection screen, facing everyone present, and spoke at length.

"ESD technique, everyone should be familiar with it, right?"

ESD is a recently emerging laparoscopic technique, full name endoscopic mucosal resection. Haicheng Shi Yiyuan's laparoscopic department is preparing to launch this technique, but it is still in preparation.

The Director of Medical Affairs had heard of this new technology, whereas Director Liu and Director Pan, like other senior directors, rarely encountered new technology and found it very unfamiliar.

"Briefly introduce, ESD technique, it is using an endoscope, through technical means to strip the diseased mucosa, to achieve a new technical means of treatment." Zheng Ren said loudly: "In 2010, the laparoscopic department of Harbin Medical University Affiliated Eryuan had already carried out laparoscopic transrectal appendectomy. To now, although it has not been widely launched nationwide, there are often case reports. Therefore, this technique is not an isolated case; there are already records of over a hundred successful surgeries."

The Director of Medical Affairs felt a stir in his heart, calmed down, and listened to Zheng Ren.

"I believe the patient has special needs; looking at the case summary, he is also suitable for laparoscopic transrectal appendectomy." Zheng Ren spoke solemnly, making Director Pan shake his head directly; he did not want to take such a risk.

"May I first examine the patient?" Zheng Ren said: "After all, without seeing the patient, I also don't know whether I can perform the surgery. As for whether I should do it, the hospital will decide."

The Director of Medical Affairs pondered, nodded: "The patient is in Special Needs Ward 3-2, Director Pan, you and Zheng Ren go take a look; I will consult Chen Secretary for his opinion."

……

……

Zheng Ren and Director Pan left the demonstration classroom; Director Pan complained: "Little Zheng, you're too impulsive; is it because you're too tired, causing emotional instability?"

"No." Zheng Ren smiled, wanting to show an optimistic and positive emotion. But after a night of surgery, his hair was deformed by the Sterile Cap, looking however you look, exhausted.

"It's my fault." Director Pan did not overly blame Zheng Ren, began self-reflection: "I didn't expect Liu Tianxing to be so shameless; rest assured, I, Old Pan, will settle this score within a month. This time we back down, okay?"

Zheng Ren said: "Director Pan, no need."

"Huh?"

"Performing laparoscopic transrectal appendectomy, my technical skill is high, my confidence is great, not riskier than open surgery." Zheng Ren continued his solemn "bragging"; when he spoke of his high technical skill, he had not a shred of shame.

"What joke is this? Haicheng Shi Yiyuan hasn't even launched this surgery; where did you learn it?" Director Pan did not believe.

"Surgery relies on talent; look, I haven't done a pancreaticoduodenectomy either, Professor Senyu left, yet I still managed to do it." Zheng Ren said.

This example was truly persuasive; Director Pan immediately fell silent, no longer insisting.

But he also did not support Zheng Ren; he merely stayed silent, head lowered, as if pondering something deeply.

The two remained silent all the way, arriving at the special needs ward in the rear courtyard, reaching Room 2 on the third floor.

Zheng Ren knocked on the door, entered, and saw a girl lying on the hospital bed. The girl is at least 1.8 meters tall; because she is lying down, her feet already stretch beyond the bed's edge. A standard bed of length 180 cm is not as long as she is……

That height, tsk tsk, Zheng Ren pondered in his heart, then lifted his gaze to carefully read the patient information in the upper right corner of his field of view.

Acute simple appendicitis, conservative treatment for three days ineffective, already at the brink of perforation. Moreover, the system gave accurate time data: perforation will occur in 3 hours.

The assistant beside the girl stood up to receive Zheng Ren and Director Pan, the two doctors; although still ill, the model-like girl was also courteous, greeting the two doctors.

Her brows tightly furrowed, she clutched her chest in the classic Xi Shi pose; not only beautiful, but one could see she had excellent upbringing.

In order not to appear too abrupt, Zheng Ren examined the patient before leaving the ward with Director Pan.

"How is it?" Director Pan asked.

"Perforation will happen in three hours; if surgery is to be done, it must be done now." Zheng Ren said firmly.

This way of speaking sounded somewhat alarmist to Director Pan.

Being able to judge imminent perforation already makes one a master among masters; Zheng Ren actually could estimate the time? That's too far-fetched.

However, Director Pan did not refute; no matter how he refuted, Zheng Ren would ultimately say, "Look, even Professor Senyu left the pancreaticoduodenectomy, and I still did it alone."

This example leaves no room for refutation.

"Are you confident?" Director Pan asked.

"Yes."

"How certain?"

"Fully."

Saying this, Director Pan stopped his steps, earnestly looking at Zheng Ren, eyes bright and spirited, as if before going to battle years ago, drinking a bolstering drink.

Zheng Ren stopped his steps, not knowing where to put his hands and feet under Director Pan's gaze.

The old man had been to battle; it is said that in Nanjiang years ago, the fighting troops suffered heavy casualties, and Director Pan even picked up a submachine gun and personally killed the enemy.

That killing aura emanating from the bones was something Zheng Ren could not withstand.

"I trust you, prepare for surgery." Director Pan threw out a weighty sentence, took out his phone and began dialing.

"I trust you," these three words weigh as much as a thousand catties; Zheng Ren's heart boiled with hot blood.

A mechanical female voice suddenly sounded like a ghost in Zheng Ren's ear; a semi-transparent screen appeared in his field of view, displaying a new quest.

【Emergency Quest: A scholar dies for one who knows him.

Quest Content: Do not let the senior director's expectations and trust down; complete the laparoscopic transrectal appendectomy.

Quest Reward: 30 skill points, 300 experience points.

Quest Time: 5 hours.

Um…… Zheng Ren froze.

Director Liu's little tricks Zheng Ren had long seen through, but he knew the chance of this surgery being entrusted to him was not high.

Never expected that Director Pan's trust would actually trigger a system quest; now I have no choice but to do it.

Zheng Ren knew he had to perform this surgery himself.

Not for anything else, just the quest name—"A scholar dies for one who knows him"—is enough.

If I don't do this Shou Bing, I'd be letting down the fervent passion that just surged in my heart.

Soon, Director Pan returned, "Xiao Zheng, I called the city and made a pledge, striving for this Shou Bing Opportunity. Only success is allowed, no failure."

"Director Pan, rest assured, I will definitely succeed!" Zheng Ren clenched his fists and said firmly.

In system training, Zheng Ren had practiced various imaginative ideas, among which was this laparoscopic appendectomy procedure.

In the real world, Zheng Ren has never performed it. But in the System Space, Zheng Ren has done at least 100 such Shou Bing.

Speaking nationally, Zheng Ren can be considered the person who has performed the most laparoscopic appendectomies.

That's why he is so confident.
