Chapter 501

493 Do they need to recognize the value?

Su Yun applied pressure to stop the bleeding; a few minutes later, he applied a hemostatic patch to the patient, bandaged the area locally, and lifted the patient off the operating table.

He tore off the sterile surgical gown, removed the gloves, and returned to the operating room.

Seeing Zheng Ren explaining the second patient's images to Gao Shaojie, Su Yun listened for a moment, grew impatient, walked over and said, "Move down 1 cm, angle the needle 15 degrees to the right-front."

Gao Shaojie was stunned.

This position……

"Su Yun, when did you learn this?" Zheng Ren asked with a smile.

"You've been discussing this with Fugui'er for days, your ears are calloused. How stupid would I have to be to not know this?" Su Yun said disparagingly, "It's such a small thing; don't make it so complicated."

"……" Gao Shaojie felt embarrassed over such a small matter.

This is definitely not a small matter.

"It's exactly that position, Teacher Gao." Zheng Ren, seeing the patient already on the operating table, didn't let Gao Shaojie think and said directly, "Intraoperative imaging might be off; we'll need to combine it with angiography. Anyway, Teacher Gao, just try it and you'll know."

Gao Shaojie solemnly obeyed.

He knew that saying ten thousand things downstairs was no substitute for getting up on the operating table and doing a case.

This was the first TIPS procedure he performed using the new diagnostic and surgical approach, and it was of great significance.

After calming himself, Gao Shaojie nodded slightly and said to Su Yun, "Yun Ge'er, thanks."

"Why thank me? It's the boss who taught you the surgery." Su Yun showed no appreciation, plopped onto a chair, and started fiddling with his phone.

Gao Shaojie wasn't angry either; he smiled and called Zheng Ren to put on the lead clothing and scrub up.

The two stood on the operating table as the lead door slowly closed.

Professor Liu looked at Zheng Ren and Gao Shaojie with a complex expression.

Feelings of envy and jealousy surged in his heart, impossible to control.

Professor Liu kept wishing that the person standing on the operating table right now were me! Being able to learn the new TIPS surgery technique is something countless Intervention Department Doctor dream of.

But I don't have Gao Shaojie's good luck.

He proactively wanted to follow and learn? Professor Liu immediately dismissed that idea.

Although I get along well with Gao Shaojie, in the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, several leading professors engage in close-quarters combat, the brutality of which is no less than a battlefield ablaze with war.

Going against the current, if you don't advance you retreat.

Gao Shaojie has basically latched onto a big thigh; if I were to bring it up, once Gao Shaojie rejects it, I'd never even think of learning again.

This is Gao Shaojie's resource; when doing things you need to understand the rules. Professor Liu merely sighed, why don't I have such good luck?

Thinking about it, he suddenly recalled that Teacher Zheng's assistant seemed to be in the operating room; just now that sharp-tongued assistant seemed to be sitting off to the side.

Before, that person had even mocked me a few times, come to think of it.

But compared to the new TIPS Surgery approach, these are nothing.

He put on a frown, walked over to Su Yun with a chuckle, and asked, 'Yun Ge'er, right?'

'Anything?' Su Yun lowered his head, playing with his phone, seeming to be chatting with someone via a messaging app. Black hair hung over his forehead, drifting, exuding an aloof aura.

Professor Liu was somewhat displeased; this was too much.

I'm over forty, and calling a young man Yun Ge'er isn't enough? He actually didn't even lift his head!

Do you really think latching onto a big thigh will let you soar to the skies?

But it seems that… just now, when Gao Shaojie misjudged the puncture point for the TIPS Surgery, it was that sharp-tongued young man who casually remarked, ending the discussion.

'Yun Ge'er, Teacher Zheng's TIPS Surgery is really well done.' Professor Liu began to probe.

'Just say what you need, I'm busy.' Su Yun was utterly blunt, stiff as a steamed bun left out for a month—throw it and it could knock a dog over.

"…" Professor Liu stared for a moment, then gave a wry smile, 'Yun Ge'er, I'm just curious—about the new diagnostic and therapeutic method of the TIPS Surgery, is it Zheng… Zheng Lao Ban who researched it himself?'

"Yes." Su Yun answered matter-of-factly: 'The Boss researched it himself; later Fugui'er… Professor Rudolf Wagner also participated. I just followed along and took a look—only the idea was good, it's basically a thin layer of window paper; once pierced, there's nothing much to say.'

A thin layer of window paper! Professor Liu continued to lament. If someone could help me pierce that layer of window paper, how great that would be.

Huh? No way! Professor Rudolf Wagner? Is he a foreigner?

'Yun Ge'er, Professor Rudolf is…'

'A professor at Heidelberg University, huh? You don't know? You're an Intervention doctor—don't you know the world's top professors in the field?' Su Yun's words remained as sharp as ever, without mercy.

"…" Professor Liu truly didn't want to talk to him anymore.

But the TIPS Surgery was like a seductive little trinket, flirting from afar, making Professor Liu unable to resist.

'Has the related article been published?' Professor Liu asked, feigning concern: 'This kind of research must be published as soon as possible; otherwise, if someone scoops you, it would be disastrous.'

'We're talking about it right now; if you weren't speaking to me, maybe we'd have finished by now.' Su Yun said: 'New England Journal of Medicine, latest issue.'

"Ugh…" Even for Professor Liu, the New England Journal of Medicine is an unattainable medical journal.

Just having research is absolutely not enough.

Those arrogant reviewers, Professor Liu knows them well. The higher a journal's Impact factor, the more aloof the reviewers become.

After all, they are scarce resources.

Even if you have solid substance, you can still pass the reviewers' selection, but you still have to wait in line.

Three months is considered short; at most it takes over six months.

But a paper on TIPS Surgery can actually slip right in—apparently their weight is enough.

'Yun Ge'er, it seems the reviewers also know quality. Teacher Zheng's technique has been recognized—congratulations.' Professor Liu gave a dry laugh.

"Know quality?" Su Yun snorted coldly, "What use is it for them to know quality! If it weren't for Fugui'er wanting to take something…"

Su Yun felt he'd said a bit too much, looked up at Professor Liu, shook his head, and said: 'I have a good relationship with the Willow Leaf Blade reviewers, and Fugui'er has a good relationship with the Xin Ying Ge Lan Medicine reviewers. You don't know how much effort I put in just to turn down the Willow Leaf Blade reviewers.'

"…" Professor Liu froze instantly.

What Su Yun meant was, are the reviewers and the journal rushing to get this paper? Or are the two parties competing for it?

"I can't be bothered dealing with those reviewers from Xin Ying Ge Lan; each of them has their eyes grown onto the back of their heads." Su Yun complained, "If it weren't because Fugui'er is the second author, and the results also need to be submitted by him before January 31, I would definitely have sent the article to Willow Leaf Blade."

Hiss— Professor Liu sucked in a breath of cold air.
