“Yes, the lesion is relatively large and deep. It’s very difficult to perform an endoscopic mucosal dissection.” Zheng Ren pondered for a solution. “Let’s first use an endoscope to take the pathology and then seize the time to perform the surgery.”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the patient’s family.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be speaking a little too much. He was in Chief Luo’s office.
Chief Luo looked at Zheng Ren with interest. He felt that this young man was particularly interesting.
He had some ability but talked too much. He was probably anxious to show off.
Could it be that he did not go through the normal procedures to continue his studies, but that he used his connections to work here for a few months before he would need to leave again?
The patient’s family left gratefully. Chief Luo asked the next patient’s family to wait. He looked at Chief Resident Shen with a smile and waited for him to speak.
“Chief Luo, this is Boss Zheng. He’s just been transferred to our hospital,” Chief Resident Shen explained in a low voice.
Things had already exceeded his expectations. This was not a conventional way of visiting Chief Luo and greeting him.
Boss Zheng directly discussed the patient’s condition with Chief Luo. Chief Resident Shen was not sure what would happen.
“Boss Zheng?” Chief Luo muttered these three words softly. He thought to himself, ‘Is this really a colleague and not some rich businessman’s son?’
However, had he receive a provincial-level scientific research fund or a national-level scientific research fund?
“Chief Luo, I just came to the Imperial Capital Hospital to be in charge of the research of the new TIPS surgical technique. Also…” Zheng Ren tried his best to keep a smile on his face, enduring the pain that came from the corners of his eyes.
Before he could finish his words, Chief Luo’s expression suddenly changed.
“You’re Zheng…Ren?” Chief Luo stared at Zheng Ren and asked.
“Yes, I’m Zheng Ren. I’ll have to trouble you in the future,” Zheng Ren said politely.
“Is it true that you were recommended as a candidate for the Nobel Prize?” Chief Luo asked. His tone was no longer as calm as before. He sounded a little anxious.
“Yes.” Zheng Ren nodded.
Due to some coincidences, when Zheng Ren was recommended by Dr. Mehar and was nominated for the Nobel Prize, he was on a mission in the South. He had not gotten many details about him.
Department Chief Kong did not say anything in detail, but the nomination for the Nobel Prize did not involve confidentiality. Therefore, he would occasionally show off to his colleagues while he was eating and drinking.
He had dug up the Nobel Prize candidate to the Imperial Capital Hospital. Wasn’t that amazing enough?
This fact had only spread to a small portion of people. Everyone did not believe it, but they did not expect to see the main player today.
Chief Luo was stunned.
What Old Kong said was actually true!
It would be nonsense to say that there were no doubts. But today, this junior doctor with a bruised and swollen face appeared in front of him and gave the same diagnosis as him in the face of a relatively difficult ‘ordinary’ case. This meant that there were some problems with the original diagnosis.
The last three surgical methods that Zheng Ren proposed were also very reasonable.
Chief Luo also had these three surgical methods in mind and was very inclined to the third one. The two of them could be said to have the same idea when it came to diagnosis and treatment.
After all, the patient had a medical history of Crohn’s disease. If the colon was not removed, there was a high probability that the disease would still occur in the future. Preserving the rectum was to improve the patient’s quality of life after surgery. It was worth taking a little risk.
If the patient were to go through a colostomy, he would need to bring a bag with him everywhere to use for his excrement. The physiological structure of the patient would change from that of a normal person. It would cause huge psychological pressure and become a mental burden on the patient.
In some extreme cases, it might even lead to the patient’s premature death.
The choice of the plan was directly related to the doctor’s personality and diagnostic level.
It seemed that this young man’s standard was really not bad.
Chief Luo stood up and extended his hand. He smiled gently and said, “Boss Zheng, nice to meet you.”
Zheng Ren quickly extended his hand and shook Chief Luo’s hand.
He was now finally on track with introducing himself, even if it was still a little too formal. Chief Luo gave him respect as an equal, out of respect for the Nobel Prize.
“Sit, sit, don’t be so polite. Is it because the bed that Old Kong gave you is not enough, or is it difficult to take in patients?” Chief Luo said a few simple and polite words before going straight to the point.
As a doctor from the upstream department, what else could there be for him if a doctor from the interventional department came to find him?
“Both.” Zheng Ren smiled politely and sat on the chair. He said, “Department Chief Kong is not at home and I don’t know how to carry out my work. As such, I came to pay you a visit first.”
“You’re too kind, Chief Zheng. How’s the progress on the TIPS surgery?” Chief Luo was more interested in this.
Zheng Ren was about to answer when a light knock sounded against Chief Luo’s door.
Chief Luo shook his head and smiled. “It’s like this in the hospital. I don’t even have time to chat.”
“I don’t even have time to do most things. Please, go ahead.” Zheng Ren smiled.
“Please come in,” Chief Luo said as he sat up straight.
A man pushed open the door with an apologetic smile on his face. He wanted to come in. However, there were other family members of the patients in front of him.
“Chief Luo, I was introduced by Doctor Ding.”
Chief Luo noticed the slight panic and said, “Wait for me outside. I’ll have some other matters to settle first.”
As he spoke, he waved at the people in line outside.
This way of handling things was very appropriate. One look and one could tell that Chief Luo faced these matters every day. He had already formed a pattern on how to solve these things.
It was all because of connections. It was better to line up.
Zheng Ren was not in a hurry. Anyway, he had nothing to do when he went back. The most important thing was to straighten out his relationships within the hospital. Chief Luo’s attitude was unexpectedly good, which made Zheng Ren feel at ease.
A middle-aged woman squeezed in and bowed first. Then, she whispered, “Hello, Chief Luo.”
“Give me the radiographic films and tell me about the situation,” Chief Luo was still very gentle. He did not say too much and was quite direct.
The woman put the radiographic films and other information on Chief Luo’s desk. Her waist was still slightly bent and she maintained a respectful attitude as she said, “It’s my daughter who has some problems. She’s 22 years old this year. Recently, she’s been feeling very tired. There are also a few times when she has abdominal pain. Her face is pale when she’s in pain. It makes her look very scary.
“Every time she has an illness, she’s sent to our local hospital. At first, she was diagnosed with intestinal obstruction but after careful examination, she was denied bedrest. The standard of the doctors in this small place is really low.”
Chief Luo listened as he flipped through the patient’s test results.
Zheng Ren sat upright on the chair. He was a little tempted but he forced himself to hold it in. This was the Imperial Capital Hospital, and he was in Chief Luo’s office within the gastrointestinal department. He could not overstep his authority and do anything else. Otherwise, he would really lose his cool.
Chief Luo caught a glimpse of Zheng Ren’s eager look from the corner of his eye. He found it funny, so he flipped through the test results and said, “Boss Zheng, can you take a look?”
