The Surgeon’s Studio Chapter 755

Chapter 755 - Was Out Of His Expectations

After half a year of clinical practice, Chief Resident Shen could clearly feel that the efficiency of interventional surgery for liver cancer was different from before. It was not just small nodules of liver cancer. For larger liver cancer that could not be removed by surgery, 64-slice CT scans with 3D-image reconstruction were performed before surgery and the effect of the surgery was particularly good.

Little Zheng’s level of imaging was really high.

It was just that… as a doctor of imaging, Chief Resident Shen’s face was filled with tears after listening to a few words.

Chief Resident Shen could not understand the diagnosis of a rare disease like mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. However, Zheng Ren could still explain it with his own words despite not being a specialist.

But… Chief Resident Shen could not even understand the CT imaging performance?

Abdominal CT mainly looked at the organs, but Little Zheng was telling Chief Luo about the differential diagnosis of the intestinal wall using abdominal CT…

This was a problem of standard. Chief Resident Shen was a little dazed when he saw Zheng Ren and Chief Luo discussing abdominal CT in front of the radiographic film viewer.

Initially, he was only taking Little Zheng around, but Little Zheng had unexpectedly started discussing the case with Chief Luo.

Looking at the situation, it gave Chief Resident Shen a ‘misconception’ that the two had become old friends in less than an hour.

It was really…

Sigh, it was said that gold would always shine. Boss Zheng was a piece of real gold. Wherever he was, as long as there was a bit of light, he would dazzle in front of everyone.

If he wasn’t convinced, he really couldn’t do it.

After half an hour, the two of them hadn’t finished discussing the CT scan of the abdomen. Moreover, looking at the situation, they had already started mixing in the knowledge of pathophysiology, genetics, and other subjects from imaging science.

Chief Luo’s interest was getting higher and higher, unable to stop himself.

The patient’s family came back with an electromyogram, interrupting the discussion of the case.

“Chief Luo, the doctor in the electromyogram room said that there is a problem with the electromyogram. What line should we consider…” the patient’s family asked with a hint of tears on their faces. “He wrote it on the back of the list. I can’t understand it.”

Chief Luo nodded. He took the electromyography and flipped it to the back. There was the electromyography report and the diagnosis opinion written by the Department Chief of the electromyography department.

‘Consider ME.’ ME was the abbreviation of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.

It really was true. Chief Luo looked at the line of words and was silent for a minute. Finally, he smiled.

Chief Luo was also very curious. He specially arranged for the patient to go to the relevant department for an urgent investigation. He wanted to follow this patient all the way to see if the diagnosis was true.

The patient’s family left after thanking Chief Luo profusely and followed Chief Luo’s arrangements to do a genetic test.

Seeing that there were preliminary results here, Zheng Ren took his leave. After all, there were still so many patients lined up outside. Chief Luo could not be delayed for too long.

Chief Luo sent Zheng Ren out of the door. He patted Zheng Ren’s shoulder and said, “Boss Zheng, if you have time, come over when you can. I’m going out to the clinic on Monday. Other than ward rounds, I have time.”

Zheng Ren immediately agreed politely.

This time, he had won a big victory at the dock, which was a pleasant surprise.

“Boss Zheng, on your face…” Chief Luo asked when he finally said goodbye.

Although it was the first time they met, the two of them felt very familiar with each other. Chief Luo didn’t feel that he was being rude. He just wanted Zheng Ren to behave himself and be careful. If anything happened, it would be a big loss.

Zheng Ren touched the bruise at the corner of his eyes, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, “I just came back from the frontline yesterday.”

“Chief Luo was stunned for a moment and patted Zheng Ren’s shoulder hard.

“Chief Luo, I’ll be leaving first,” Zheng Ren said.

“Go back and have a good rest. If there’s anything I can do for you, just say it!” Chief Luo said without hiding it.

There was still a distance between professional mutual appreciation. However, a casual sentence completely touched Chief Luo’s heart. He agreed to Zheng Ren without any reservations.

This was really a surprise. Zheng Ren bowed, then grinned and said goodbye to Chief Luo.

“Boss Zheng, you…” Walking out of the gastrointestinal department, Chief Resident Shen said with heartfelt emotion, “You’re too amazing.”

Zheng Ren smiled.

This was normal. Zheng Ren had expected that academics would be close to academics.

Before he came, Zheng Ren had thought about it. The cooperation with the gastrointestinal department had to be based on equal cooperation. To achieve this, he had to get Chief Luo’s approval.

However, Zheng Ren did not expect it to go so smoothly.

Although Chief Luo’s final question and unreserved support were unexpected, it was also within reason.

It seemed like it had been a long time since the System had issued a mission that added luck value. Only at this moment did Zheng Ren suddenly understand the importance of his luck attribute.

After chatting with Chief Resident Shen for a while, his phone rang.

Chief Resident Shen held his phone in embarrassment. Zheng Ren smiled and said, “You’re busy, don’t worry about me.”

“Hello.”

“Yes, where are you? Okay, wait a moment.” Chief Resident Shen covered his phone and looked at Zheng Ren. “Boss Zheng, I came to visit a fellow countryman. She came to see the doctor and has been considered to be diagnosed with breast cancer.”

Chief Resident Shen did not say the last three words. He just mouthed them.

“Don’t worry.” Zheng Ren smiled. “I’ll come over and take a look.”

Chief Resident Shen said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

“My high school classmate found something growing during his physical examination. I looked at the b-scan and thought that it was something bad,” Chief Resident Shen said and sighed.

Chief Resident Shen was only in his thirties and his classmate… Zheng Ren sighed. It was really hard to say about such things.

There were joys and sorrows, birth, old age, illness, and death. There was nothing that could be done.

And now, in clinical surgery to treat breast cancer, the skill level was still pretty good. If it was not too late, the five-year survival rate would reach more than 80%.

Even if the diagnosis was slightly late and the degree of malignancy was high, if there was no lack of money, the survival rate would also increase if targeted medication was given.

Furthermore, surgical techniques were not like before where they had to be completely removed. For women, the psychological trauma was greater than the physical trauma.

Now, more and more patients were undergoing breast-conserving surgery, and the postoperative effects were not bad.

“We haven’t contacted each other since we graduated from high school. So many years have passed, and I thought it was a scam when they suddenly contacted me in the beginning,” Chief Resident Shen said long-windedly. “The husband and wife are both my high school classmates. I didn’t expect them to end up together. The boy is the most honest person in our class. I didn’t believe him when he told me about their marriage.”

Zheng Ren smiled.

They were high school classmates and childhood sweethearts. They were pretty good.

“Professor Zheng, my classmate doesn’t know. She always thought it was hyperplasia. I didn’t tell her about it in front of her husband in detail. I only told her vaguely that it might be something bad.” Chief Resident Shen wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zheng Ren patted Chief Resident Shen’s shoulder and nodded, indicating that he knew so that he could rest assured.

An old doctor in the clinic would never say the word ‘cancer’ in front of a patient unless it was an old patient. The doctor had to know that the patient could handle the news.

Chief Resident Shen was still thinking too much, Zheng Ren thought to himself.

However, his classmate was not very old, so it was normal for Chief Resident Shen’s mood to fluctuate.

Zheng Ren saw that Chief Resident Shen was a little depressed, so he did not say anything. He just followed him all the way to the outpatient clinic.

Outside the clinic, there was a huge crowd. Although it was almost time to get off work, there were still a lot of people.

A woman was standing next to the flower bed. She was wearing a tight-fitting red suit that accentuated her exquisite figure. When she saw Chief Resident Shen, she raised her hand, waved, and quickly walked over.

Behind her, there was a man who looked honest and trustworthy, carrying a suitcase.

The man was talking to someone on his phone so he didn’t notice Chief Resident Shen’s appearance.

The woman walked a few steps and turned around to say a few words. The man hurriedly put away his phone and smiled apologetically. When he saw Chief Resident Shen, his smile became much more natural. He waved his hand and followed behind her.

“Shen, long time no see,” the woman said with a smile. There was no sad expression on her exquisite face.

Zheng Ren fell silent.

The system panel gave a clear diagnosis in the upper right corner: triple-negative breast cancer!

Against the red background, the bright red suit was even more eye-catching.

Triple-negative breast cancer was the most serious type of breast cancer. It referred to breast cancer patients who had negative estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor 2 receptors.

The triple-negative breast cancer had no relationship with the size of the tumor and whether the lymph nodes had metastases, which were closely related to the malignancy of common tumors.

In other words, as long as it was triple-negative breast cancer, even if it completely removed after surgery, it would most likely relapse within 1 to 3 years.

In particular, most of the relapses would be accompanied by brain metastases.

Clinically, there was no good solution to triple-negative breast cancer.

Chief Resident Shen shook hands with the woman and then shook hands with the man behind him. He took the opportunity to hug her and were very close.

“He always says that he can’t leave me. I’ve already said that it’s just a minor illness, but he still insisted on following me.” The woman smiled. She was extremely charming.

“Hehe, what is Old Lian doing now?” Chief Resident Shen asked with a smile.

“He’s a high school teacher who teaches physics. This time, I said that he should stay at home to look after the children and that my mother would come to accompany me. He said that he wouldn’t do anything and would definitely follow me,” The woman said with a smile. “Anyway, it’s just a minor surgery. Just treat it as a vacation.”

“It’s okay to have a good time when the family is out.” Chief Resident Shen did not say anything. He forced a smile and brought the woman to the breast surgery department. Then, he arranged for her to be hospitalized.

For such matters, he would definitely have to contact her a few days in advance. Not to mention Chief Resident Shen, even if he was the head hospital director, she would need to be hospitalized at least half a day in advance.

If she were to wait in queue on her own at the Imperial Capital Hospital, she would have to wait for at least two to three months.

After completing all the procedures, Chief Resident Shen came to the door with an apologetic look on his face. He rubbed his hands together and said, “Boss Zheng, I’m sorry.”

“It’s nothing,” Zheng Ren said. “Anyway, there’s nothing to do today. There are only three patients for the second-stage TIPS surgery tomorrow. The new patients you accepted today will be examined. The surgery can only be performed the day after tomorrow. Within these two days, I’ll just take a look around and familiarize myself with the environment in the hospital.”

“Yes, yes.” Chief Resident Shen nodded repeatedly.

“Um… Chief Resident Shen, is your classmate’s ultrasound list here?” Zheng Ren asked.

Chief Resident Shen was stunned. He could hear some hints of an ominous feeling from Zheng Ren’s tone.
