Chapter 473: 465 Recovery

~7 min read 1,236 words

"It's fine." Zheng Ren said: "Tomorrow's surgery, during the operation you do one……"

He had only said half when Zheng Ren suddenly realized the patient had no family, only Xiao Aolifu and others had accompanied him.

"Fugui'er, the patient has no family…… there won't be a problem, right?" Zheng Ren spoke vaguely.

"Boss, rest assured, being able to receive treatment at Heidelberg University Medical Center is an honor. No matter how the postoperative period goes, there will be no problems. This is different from here." Professor Rudolf Wagner said affirmatively.

"Oh, I have no problem here." Zheng Ren said: "As long as you confirm your side is fine, I can teach you during the operation."

Professor Rudolf Wagner's eyes lit up with excitement, he opened his arms, wanting to give Zheng Ren a warm hug: "Boss, you're truly straightforward!"

Zheng Ren hurriedly dodged; he wasn't used to such enthusiastic expressions of emotion. Moreover, the word "straightforward" carrying a martial-arts vibe, Zheng Ren also wasn't accustomed to it.

Xiao Aolifu stood to the side watching Professor Rudolf Wagner and Zheng Ren, he suddenly felt the world was utterly absurd.

His Chinese proficiency is not high; he could only understand about half of the conversation between the professor and Zheng Ren.

Yet just that small portion of content left Xiao Aolifu extremely shocked.

Professor Rudolf Wagner, at Heidelberg University, is known for his high ability and short temper.

Was the professor just asking this Eastern young man to perform a guiding surgery?

Moreover, the professor's temper, as fierce as a lion's, was nowhere to be seen in front of this young man; the gentle, lamb-like professor was also completely different from Xiao Aolifu's memory.

This is simply unbelievable, and that Eastern young man actually refused the professor's hug without hesitation.

His face still bore…… a look of disdain?

Why is it like this?

Clearly this young man is still handling emergency patients and working night shifts; this is work only the youngest interns do.

Xiao Aolifu felt he simply couldn't grasp the reasoning here; perhaps Professor Rudolf Wagner has been assimilated by them.

Seeing Zheng Ren dodge his hug, the professor immediately scratched his head, hehe laughed, and said: "Boss, you all express your feelings here in a reserved way; I was wrong."

Zheng Ren shook his hand.

He had originally wanted to greet Xie Yiren, but with the professor beside him, it was really inconvenient.

This is what Zheng Ren dislikes most about the professor; as for surgery and such, they're trivial.

Several people returned to the emergency ward; early in the morning, Director Pan again went to the hospital to soft-soap and hard-press, seeking to find a 120 doctor.

However, Zheng Ren estimated that Director Pan's chances of finding external help were not great.

After checking around the rooms, everything was stable.

Soon, a patient with acute cholecystitis was sent up by the emergency department.

The patient was in severe pain, and the family also agreed to laparoscopic surgery. Zheng Ren then had Yang Lei admit the patient, first urgently check various preoperative data, then prepare for surgery.

Around nine o'clock, Director Pan came to the emergency ward with a stern face.

Zheng Ren took one look and knew the outcome of Director Pan's negotiation.

Surely it's not possible.

But we also can't put Zheng Ren or Su Yun on the 120 emergency side, after all they both can handle things independently.

Finally, Director Pan had Lu Tianran keep an eye on the surgical 120 emergency for a few days.

And the emergency ward also became a three-day rotation, leaving hardly any room for maneuver.

For now this is all we can do; Director Pan knows he can't help worrying. The staff is just this tense, and he can't perform a major overhaul of living people—no matter how great his abilities, they can't be deployed.

After arranging everything, he returned to the emergency department to take charge.

The busier it gets, the more things come to cause chaos; Director Pan wants to eliminate all unstable factors at the bud.

Zheng Ren slept only four or five hours yesterday and didn't feel tired; he sat in the emergency ward and began reading.

During this period he hasn't gone home; he misses the big bathtub at home a little.

People, it's easy to go from simple to luxurious, hard to go from luxurious to simple.

While he was reading, Chang Yue came over and asked: "Chief Zheng, when can Sister Zheng be discharged?"

During morning rounds, Zheng Ren saw that Zheng Yunxia was just like a healthy person—walking, eating, sleeping, and bowel movements were all normal.

This surgery, there was no postoperative fever at all.

For a "normal" person, staying in the hospital is indeed a torment.

Radiofrequency ablation, recovery is quick, and moreover radiofrequency ablation has a relatively small impact on liver function imaging.

But Zheng Yunxia underwent a dual procedure; the embolization still has a considerable impact on liver function.

Looking normal, but Zheng Yunxia's liver function will certainly not be normal.

"Take liver-protecting medicine for a few more days. Post-op days 5-7 she can be discharged; you decide." Zheng Ren answered without lifting his head.

"Chief Zheng, can Sister Zheng be cured this time?" Chang Yue asked with some worry.

The relationship between him and Zheng Yunxia has already changed from doctor-patient to friends.

Chang Yue had heard Zheng Ren say that a cure might be possible.

But Chang Yue knew Zheng Yunxia's condition very well; when she first came, Zheng Yunxia was beyond treatment, even prepared to jump off a building.

Yet now, after just over two months and three surgeries, she could actually be cured.

Although he is a doctor…… precisely because he is a doctor, Chang Yue feels Zheng Ren's words are fantastical, hard to believe.

"The primary lesion should be curable." Zheng Ren pondered briefly and replied: "But Sister Zheng has hepatitis B; hepatic cirrhosis nodules could change at any time. If finances allow, test a hepatitis B virus DNA activity level to see if hepatitis B is under control."

"Really!" Chang Yue felt both surprise and joy.

Although the result was already known early on, hearing it formally spoken from Zheng Ren's mouth gives it a different meaning.

"Really." Zheng Ren smiled: "Didn't I already say that earlier? Why are you still so happy?"

Chang Yue moved her lips, but said nothing.

Although during this hospitalization check-up, Zheng Yunxia's alpha-fetoprotein had dropped from an unmeasurably high level to around fifty, this confirmed the effectiveness of the prior treatment.

But speaking truly of late-stage cancer, even late-stage liver cancer, dubbed the king of cancers, being curable still feels impossible.

"Well..." Chang Yue hesitated a little, "Next Shou Bing, when should we do it?"

Zheng Ren smiled, Chang Yue still didn't believe.

"This follow-up will take a bit longer, maybe two months. It can be done in outpatient or inpatient follow-up; the Shou Bing may not be necessary. The Opportunity of doing a fourth Shou Bing is actually not big, about 20%." Zheng Ren said: "But, you shouldn't tell Zheng Sister this first."

Chang Yue was happy, still wanted to ask something.

At that moment, Zheng Ren's phone rang.

Seeing it was the Emergency Department, Zheng Ren's heart rate instantly went above 120 beats per minute.

Immediately answered the phone.

"Chief Zheng, Emergency Department! High-altitude fall, penetrating injury from a sharp weapon!"
