Chapter 500: 492 Brought to Tears

Zheng Ren and Gao Shaojie were looking at the images when classmate Li Jianguo had already brought the patient onto the operating table; the instrument nurse was busy cleaning up the medical waste from the previous case, preparing the surgical pack for this case.

Li Jianguo also wanted to hear what Teacher Gao was studying, but someone has to do the preoperative prep, right?

Junior clinicians are born to do this work.

All senior doctors were forged from junior doctors; they've been doing these tasks for who knows how many years.

Ten minutes later, Li Jianguo had already laid out the sterile drape and completed all preoperative preparations.

"Teacher Gao." Li Jianguo called out.

"Teacher Gao, basically it's like this; I and Su Yun will go up first, you watch one case." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

Gao Shaojie had no time for pleasantries; his mind was filled with diffusion-weighted nuclear magnetic resonance imaging sequences, various correct or incorrect virtual sequences repeatedly appearing in his brain, making him breathless.

"Su Yun, let's get to work." Zheng Ren turned and called for Su Yun to scrub in.

However, this guy didn't go prepare first, so Zheng Ren didn't even have time to get the lead clothing from the supply system.

Surely he wouldn't turn into a magician in front of Su Yun.

Forget it, wearing this lead clothing is just for a few TIPS surgeries; it won't consume much lead.

Zheng Ren and Su Yun put on the lead clothing, scrubbed, donned sterile gowns, and began the Shou Bing.

In the operating room, Gao Shaojie focused intently, looking through the lead glass.

"Old Gao, how many punctures does Teacher Zheng need for the TIPS Surgery?" Professor Liu asked, leaning in.

Gao Shaojie was still immersed in the nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion images, unable to extricate himself.

"Five punctures, can you manage that?" Professor Liu continued asking.

"Uh..." Gao Shaojie hesitated slightly, "I've seen Teacher Zheng perform TIPS Surgery, and it was always just one puncture."

"..." Professor Liu felt his scalp go numb.

Has old Gao not woken up? Originally saying five punctures, Professor Liu had gritted his molars to say that. This was only because Zheng Ren had helped a lot, and Professor Liu was giving him face.

And Gao Shaojie actually said it was just one puncture!

How could that be possible!

"Old Liu, I didn't believe it at first either, but this is the fact." Gao Shaojie knew what Professor Liu was thinking.

What else could he think!

That day when I watched Zheng Ren perform TIPS Surgery at Hai Cheng City Second Hospital, what I thought, he also thought.

Professor Liu remained silent, not daring to blink, intently watching the Shou Bing.

When the LCD screen began to show the image again, he immediately found a good spot and carefully examined the puncture kit.

Not blinking, having made all mental preparations, he might be very surprised.

After all, the microguidewire that I had struggled to retrieve with great effort, they just casually pulled it out upon going up.

This is the gap between levels.

But...

Three minutes later,

Professor Liu was still dazed.

Several minutes, eyes not blinking, almost drying out to the point of tearing.

But what did he see?

Professor Liu saw the puncture needle appear in the portal vein, reach a position where probing puncture was possible, seemed to twitch slightly, then withdrew.

Now the stent-graft has been lowered in.

Is the Shou Bing difficult?

Not at all! If you replaced it with someone who doesn't know the field, they'd definitely think it's a simple, no-brainer Shou Bing.

But Professor Liu is highly skilled, a graduate of a prestigious school, has performed thousands of chief surgeon Shou Bing clinically, and has done dozens of TIPS Surgeries as an expert.

How could he not understand.

But...

But...

But really, I just didn't get it!

Professor Liu felt fluid flowing from his eyes, unsure whether it was from not daring to blink for several minutes causing dryness, or from staring unblinkingly at a TIPS Surgery, failing to grasp how the operator did it, suffering a huge blow, with inexplicable sorrow in his heart.

Damn it! Watching the Shou Bing, I actually ended up crying...

Professor Liu turned his head to look at Gao Shaojie, seeing his expression was not clueless ignorance but a faint delight.

Could it be that he understood?

At this moment, Professor Liu recalled that Gao Shaojie had initially said, please have Teacher Zheng teach him TIPS Surgery.

Now thinking back, that statement actually turned out to be true!

"Old Gao, this TIPS Surgery doesn't look very hard." Director Lin said.

"..."

"..."

Gao Shaojie and Professor Liu were both speechless.

There's nothing to say with such a layperson.

But the person is the Director of Medical Affairs; if they could guarantee a lifetime without mistakes, you could ignore the Director of Medical Affairs, even point at their nose and curse, you idiot, daring to say TIPS Surgery isn't hard! Are you even in the medical field?

But who can guarantee that today's neurosurgery mistake won't happen to oneself for a lifetime?

Gao Shaojie thought for a moment, then smiled: "Director Lin, Old Liu and I still have decent skills, right?"

"Top-notch in the province, the country can barely count us as first-tier tail." Director Lin gave a very fair evaluation.

Those currently in the operation room, except for the supplies merchant brought by Teacher Zheng, are all our own people; there's nothing that can't be said.

"I do TIPS surgery, need to puncture about ten needles. Old Liu, estimate also roughly the same." Gao Shaojie directly gave an example to prove, "This is still the average number for a successful surgery. Sometimes, twenty needles may not necessarily solve the problem; we can only announce the surgery a failure."

Gao Shaojie explained Director Lin's problem very clearly in just a few sentences.

It's not that the surgery is simple; it's that Teacher Zheng is too damn good, Director Lin, your understanding has a problem.

Director Lin nodded, his eyes slightly squinting, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few minutes later, the second retrievable stent was also put in place. Zheng Ren took out the puncture kit, performed imaging, removed the guidewire, and the surgery ended.

Walking out of the operating room, Zheng Ren asked with a smile: "Teacher Gao, how was it?"

Gao Shaojie pondered for a moment, then said: "Teacher Zheng, I feel I have some insight."

"Hmm, then step down, I'll take you through it." Zheng Ren said it especially naturally, not at all affected.

Gao Shaojie gladly nodded.

Li Jianguo ran back and forth, went down to bring the second patient up onto the stage.

The second patient's nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion image had already been placed on the viewer; this time Gao Shaojie did not let Zheng Ren speak first, but directly said: "Teacher Zheng, I have studied this image; do you think we should puncture at this location?"

Saying this, Gao Shaojie pointed to a certain point on the portal vein in the image.

Zheng Ren smiled without speaking, merely shaking his head slightly.

Gao Shaojie's eyebrows furrowed all at once.

Just now, while Zheng Ren was performing TIPS surgery over there, Gao Shaojie didn't see how the retrievable stent was placed; he was wholly focused on pondering the second patient's image.

In TIPS surgery, the most crucial thing is the puncture point; once the puncture point is found, everything follows naturally.

Even if it's not as fast as Zheng Ren's, not as good as Zheng Ren's, at least it can reach an 80-point level.

Being able to reach 80 points, Gao Shaojie is already quite satisfied.

He combined the knowledge Zheng Ren had just explained with his own years of clinical experience to judge, seemingly having understood the focus of Zheng Ren's choice of puncture point for TIPS surgery.

But……

Why is Zheng Ren still shaking his head?
