Chapter 634: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,286 words

After Su Yun and Professor Rudolf Wagner heard, their expressions became solemn; Zheng Ren rarely used such a stern tone when speaking.

It is estimated that now there is hope; if delayed any longer, there really will be no hope.

The professor spoke seriously at length; the people present stopped arguing and fell silent. After the professor finished speaking, the elderly woman in the wheelchair said a few words, and then everyone left.

「Boss, just now it was really great. 」 Su Yun still had a feeling of defiant excitement.

「Bored. 」 Zheng Ren said lightly.

「You don't know what! 」 Su Yun said, not convinced: 「These people, if you don't scold them with solid evidence until they're drenched in dog blood, they won't be convinced. I estimate Fugui'er failed to persuade them; just now I scolded that person thoroughly, until he didn't utter a sound. Looking now, in ten minutes it'll be our turn to go into Shou Bing. 」

「Wait then. 」 Zheng Ren sat down, gazing blankly at the life values on the screen.

After a long while, the professor finally returned, his face a little pale, somewhat excited and Tension.

「How is it, Fugui'er? 」 Su Yun asked.

「The wife has agreed to Shou Bing, currently preparing legal documents. 」 The Professor said in a low voice; Zheng Ren felt the Professor's voice tremble slightly, opened his eyes, saw the Professor looking embarrassed, and then smiled.

「Fugui'er, don't worry, Shou Bing won't have any problems. 」 Zheng Ren comforted the Professor.

Professor Rudolf Wagner cracked his mouth, trying to show a faint smile, but this kind of smile was uglier than crying.

Zheng Ren was speechless; there was no way to persuade anymore.

I don't know what guarantee the Professor made, nor what connections he used, but it can be imagined that this time the Professor has placed a huge bet on Shou Bing.

Shou Bing does not have a hundred percent success rate, but Zheng Ren believes in the training results from the System Operating Room. Adding his own Luck +12 and the Interventional surgery success rate +4 bonus, the failure rate should not be high.

Wanting to comfort the Professor, Zheng Ren didn't know what to say.

Just like the patient's family feeling Tension and Anxiety before the operation, whatever the doctor says is useless. Only if Shou Bing succeeds and the post-op recovery is good is it truly so.

Faint footsteps sounded; the footsteps were messy and many.

The Professor became more Tension.

Soon, a group pushed Mehari's wife in her wheelchair as she entered.

The people who came didn't even look at Zheng Ren; they were merely solemnly communicating with the Professor.

Behind Mehari's wife's wheelchair, a person in a suit resembling a lawyer held documents, seeking the Professor's signature.

Isn't this all just the opposite of what it should be? What is the reasoning?

Zheng Ren looked bewildered; this didn't seem like the doctor-patient communication he knew.

How could it be the Professor signing? It should be the patient's family signing.

This point, Su Yun also does not Understanding, feeling somewhat bewildered.

After the paperwork was completed, the Professor introduced Zheng Ren to Mehari's wife sitting in the wheelchair, then began to get busy, preparing for Shou Bing.

Professor Rudolf Wagner had paid a huge price, but the most important thing was——the previous defibrillation, Su Yun demonstrated such professional expertise and knowledge reserves regarding cardiac currents that it left world‑level experts speechless.

However, only these are definitely not enough.

The key lies in the judgment of the doctors at the Stockholm Karolinska Medical Surgical Research Institute: even with extracorporeal membrane lung support, Mei Ha'er has less than two days of lifespan.

That is to say, the time the machine can sustain life is less than 48 hours, and it could terminate at any moment.

Although Professor Rudolf Wagner is not a doctor specializing in cardiac intervention, despite his repeated solemn promises, Mei Ha'er's wife also had a change of heart.

Even if Shou Bing fails, what is lost is at most 48 hours of time; why not give it a try?

All pressure ultimately rests on Professor Rudolf Wagner's shoulders.

He assisted the doctors at the institute, running back and forth. He asked Zheng Ren what consumables were needed; if they were somewhat special and the institute didn't have them, they could be mobilized from anywhere in the world at any time.

But Zheng Ren said, he doesn't need any special equipment; only the existing equipment for coronary artery rotational atherectomy is sufficient.

Looking at the doubtful gazes around, Professor Rudolf Wagner's heart felt as if it were being suspended.

He trusts Zheng Ren, and can only choose to believe.

If Mei Ha'er passes away, all the work I have done before will come to nothing.

That is the Nobel Prize in Medicine; for several decades no new surgical technique has won the award.

Even if just the second author, the Professor is quite content.

This is his ideal, the ideal he has striven for his whole life.

For this ultimate ideal, the Professor finally decided to give it his all.

He put his prospects, honor, future, and status on the line.

The Operating Room is on the second floor, less than a hundred meters from the ward. Pre-op preparations complete, a professional doctor escorted Mei Ha'er directly to the Operating Room.

No communication, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive; Zheng Ren is still accustomed to the environment of Hai Cheng's Emergency Operating Room. Here, one cannot hear Chu Yan zhi shouting 'burn my calories', nor see the busy, gentle figure of Xie Yiren.

「Boss, is the chance really that great? 」 Su Yun asked softly while changing clothes.

「Uh……」 Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment, 「When you were talking to Fugui'er, I saw you speaking with full confidence. You spoke so well that even I almost believed it. 」

「What do you mean by 'even I almost believed it】? 」

「Even I thought I could pull it off. 」 Zheng Ren, with an innocent look, spread his hands and said: 「I've never done it before; who knows if it will work. 」

「Heavens……」 Su Yun covered his forehead.

「Stop fooling around, hurry up and scrub in. 」 Zheng Ren laughed: 「The chance of success is at least ninety‑five percent. Well, I said one hundred percent, which might be a bit high, but ninety‑five percent is still quite modest. 」

Su Yun stared for a moment, 「This also counts as modest? 」

「I've seen in the videos that there are contraindications for rotational atherectomy Shou Bing. 」 Su Yun is not unaware; he has his own ideas.

About to go up, his heart is never at ease, especially since Zheng Ren confidently said that the Shou Bing success rate is so high; he lacks Understanding, so he pursued the question.

「That's because the operator's skill is insufficient and the technique not delicate enough, which is why it's considered a contraindication. 」 Zheng Ren smiled, because wearing a Mask, the slight upturn of his lips couldn't be seen, 「Otherwise, why would perforation and dissection complications of Shou Bing have only a 90% probability, and not still have a 10% chance of success? 」

「You mean the 10% is just a fluke, but you…… huh? Who gave you your confidence? 」 Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren in astonishment.

The contraindications written in textbooks, in Zheng Ren's case, actually become ordinary ailments; just who gave him this confidence?

「Technology advances quickly; textbooks can't keep up with the latest developments. Su Yun, you need to study hard. 」 Zheng Ren said, while scrubbing in, with earnest advice.

……

……

Indeed, textbooks are also constantly being adjusted. For example, a 60° angle is a Shou Bing taboo, now it has been changed to 90°.
