The Surgeon’s Studio Chapter 724

Chapter 724 - I’ll Have To Trouble You

Mu Tao was stunned.

What was Zheng Ren talking about? Amputation surgery? He was the only one who could do the interventional… No, Zheng Ren came from the general surgery department.

In some small hospitals, general surgeons were like all-rounder doctors who also performed amputations.

He wasn’t from the department but his skills were insane.

However, could he really do it?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Mu Tao immediately smiled sheepishly. If he couldn’t do it, who else could?

Seeing that Mu Tao was in a daze, Zheng Ren smiled and said, “Teacher Mu, I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

“Doctor Zheng, don’t call me teacher. It’s embarrassing to be called that by you.” Mu Tao smiled bitterly. “The peak period of sending the injured from the frontline has passed. Occasionally, there will be some injured people who need to be embolized. I can deal with them myself.”

After being beaten by Su Yun with the hemostatic forceps, Mu Tao had also made great progress.

The time taken for him to perform an interventional embolization for a severe pelvic fracture had rapidly decreased from about one hour to 40 minutes.

Mu Tao could feel the improvement in his technical level.

It felt like magic to him. Although he had to endure the constant sarcasm of that talkative assistant, it was all worth it.

Mu Tao and Zheng Ren exchanged a few polite words and he watched as Zheng Ren waited for Su Yun to step down.

Inside, Su Yun and Liu Xuzhi were supporting the stage. The surgery had already reached the end.

“Doctor Zheng, you’re working on the Nobel Prize Project, right?” Mu Tao confirmed it for the final time.

Actually, there was no need at all. Mu Tao had already heard about Zheng Ren calling in regards to the prosthetic limbs. Moreover, he was well-informed at the Mayo Clinic and had long known about this matter.

However, listening to others say it was different from Zheng Ren admitting it himself.

“Yes.” Zheng Ren looked at Su Yun’s actions on the screen during the selection, his right hand moving slightly.

Mu Tao caught this detail and smiled bitterly in his heart.

It turned out that the sharp and mean Su Yun that used hemostatic forceps to hit people had learned it from Doctor Zheng.

There were indeed some flaws in Su Yun’s technique earlier. Although it did not affect anything, Zheng Ren always wanted to hit him a few times.

Su Yun was performing surgery in the operating theater. Zheng Ren could not hit him even if he was standing in the operating theater but the subtle movements of his hands exposed his thoughts.

“I have read the documents you published and there are some questions I have for things I don’t understand. After the earthquake relief is over, do you think I can go to the Imperial Capital to seek advice from you then?” Mu Tao asked.

This question was a little too direct.

However, after a few days and nights of surgery, Mu Tao had gotten used to being direct.

He did not have the time to ponder over other people’s various mind tricks. Moreover, he was sure that Zheng Ren would not reject him.

“Mm, you’re too polite. You can come at any time and we can discuss it together,” Zheng Ren said casually.

As he spoke, Su Yun’s last selection ended. The embolization and angiogram were confirmed, the tube removed.

Su Yun walked out of the surgery room. He had already seen Zheng Ren sitting there through the lead-lined glass.

After he came out, Su Yun asked, “Boss, can’t you sleep for a while if you don’t have any surgery to do? Do you really think that you’re an Iron Man? People say that in life, dying from old age is the slowest, while illnesses might happen later down the line. However, death is always imminent. Boss, you didn’t even touch the previous few things and you’re already prepared to die so quickly?”

Speechless, Mu Tao suddenly felt much better.

Su Yun didn’t just insult him, he even insulted his own boss.

Zheng Ren was already used to Su Yun’s way of speaking so he didn’t mind. He just smiled and said, “I just received a call from Chengdu Provincial Hospital’s Chief Chen. He’s inviting us over.”

“Chengdu Provincial Hospital? Is it that skinny old man?” Su Yun asked.

After hearing what he said, Zheng Ren remembered Chief Chen’s appearance and nodded.

“Boss, let me tell you. Don’t tell me you want to remove the embolus on the hybrid operating table and then amputate the leg yourself?” Su Yun asked.

“Yes, why?”

Su Yun took off his sterile cap and sneered. “The surgery can be performed until twenty days later. If you constantly do surgery like this, you will probably die suddenly in three days. “It’s said that the medical team has come up from behind. Don’t be like Chief Jiang. If he falls down, you can operate on him. If you fall down, you can only watch as you yourself die.”

“I’ll rest,” Zheng Ren said. “I can sleep for a while on the way there. Besides, don’t you stay here?”

“It’s useless even if I’m here. I learned how to do heart bypass surgery but how many people actually need it? Doctor Mehar’s coronary artery embolism was so difficult that you had to use a grinding technique to do it. Boss, do you know that you’re making me despair about my position in the cardiology department by doing this?” Su Yun’s thought process was extremely fast. After he said this, he turned around and went to change his clothes.

Liu Xuzhi had just sent the injured person out of the operating theater when he heard this sentence.

Su Yun and Zheng Ren brushed past him. Liu Xuzhi thought about it but did not understand what Su Yun meant.

“Teacher Mu, where are they going?” Liu Xuzhi was a little reluctant to let Zheng Ren go, but now was the time for emergency treatment. He could not interfere with Zheng Ren’s work.

“They’re going to Chengdu Provincial Hospital and do the surgery to remove the embolus and amputate the leg.” Mu Tao said this then but did not quite believe it himself.

A doctor from the Department of Interventional Medicine directly performing a hybrid surgery with his bare arms. Wasn’t this nonsense?

Doctor Zheng really walked his own path, leaving others with no other route.

“Teacher Mu, Doctor Su just mentioned something about a coronary artery grinding technique? Does Doctor Zheng still know how to do such a thing?” Liu Xuzhi asked in puzzlement.

“I don’t know either.” Mu Tao adjusted his glasses and smiled. “But I reckon that he should know how to do it and is probably quite good at it.”

“Uh…”

Mu Tao still remembered that he had told Liu Xuzhi that Su Yun did not dare to go against Zheng Ren. It seemed that he only did it a little less frequently than toward everyone else.

..

Zheng Ren and Su Yun were silent as they quickly changed their clothes. After staying in Pengxi Village for nearly three days and three nights, they finally passed the peak period of treating the wounded.

It was supposed to be a very fulfilling thing but when he remembered that there was still a huge number of wounded waiting to be treated at the provincial hospital, Su Yun’s head ached.

He was in the best shape he could be in, all things considered. Moreover, he had exchanged surgeries with Mu Tao and took some time to rest. At this moment, he wasn’t sure how he was still standing.

As for Zheng Ren? For three days and three nights, he had performed most of the surgeries while in lead clothing. How could he still endure?

Su Yun even had the idea to use the most primitive type of anesthetic to put Zheng Ren down and let him rest. After all, the follow-up medical team could be sent in at any time to replace the local doctors and the first batch of medical teams in Chengdu. If they collapsed, it would be all thanks to them.

“I’ll sleep on the way there. Wake me up when we arrive,” Zheng Ren said as he changed his clothes.

“You make it sound like I won’t sleep myself.”

“Tell Uncle Ning to make arrangements for the injured people on this side,” Zheng Ren said.

“Got it.” Su Yun waved his hand impatiently.

He took the time to change his clothes and started to contact Xie Ning.

Xie Ning, who had unknowingly become the head chief of Pengxi Village Hospital, did not say anything when he heard that Zheng Ren and Su Yun were going to Chengdu Provincial Hospital. He only arranged a spacious private car for them.

The best he could do was provide them a comfortable place to sleep along the way.

The sky was already turning light. Seeing the two of them leave, Xie Ning smiled. This young man was really good. His daughter had good taste.
