Chapter 251: Perfect (Part 5 of 5)
“Huh?” Departnt Chief Kong was intrigued.
Zheng Ren’s assistant was full of surprises. What had he done now?
Publishing in The Lancet was truly an impressive feat.
Successfully performing an artificially-grown heart transplant as a research graduate was another. Were there more achievents?
One of the departnt chiefs, watching Su Yun handle the guidewire with utmost care, joined in the discussion. “I don’t know much about Su Yun’s research, but I rember a young female patient who had been traveling all over the country looking for him. She visited Union dical, Pan Garden and us.
“I heard she went to any hospital that had a cardiothoracic departnt in search of Su Yun.”
“Ah? Seriously?”
“I ran into her while arranging admission for a patient with pulmonary nodules. She seed like a nice girl, albeit a little obsessed.”
“Obsessed? According to my subordinates, Su Yun has a verified fan club on Weibo.”
The ntion of Su Yun had completely derailed the topic. It was better than Departnt Chief Kong had expected.
The man was not an entertainnt idol but had a verified fan club on Weibo? Was he going to get a Baidu page next?
“He’s a popular guy. So of the nurses in our hospital are in his fan club. I heard they were in mourning for a few days when he left us. One of them even wanted to quit. We spent a few days persuading her to stay and her family even travelled here to join in on the effort. She did stay in the end,” contributed another departnt chief who had previously been enraptured by the surgery.
“None of you saw him perform the heart transplant?”
“Heart transplants are common these days. In a decade or two, there won’t be much fanfare. Robots could take over the surgery. We might not see another dical celebrity in another hundred years, though,” soone else said jokingly. “But I’m not from cardiothoracic, so who am I to say anything? The leap from cardiothoracic researcher to interventional surgeon’s assistant is rather odd.”
“Su Yun is now Boss Zheng’s assistant,” Departnt Chief Kong said with a twinkle in his eye. “He is an outstanding young man with a bright future. If you were him, you wouldn’t just take up an assistant role without careful consideration of who your superior was.”
“Definitely not. If I were him, I would give up my dical career and be a model or actor. Who needs the adrenaline from helming an operation?”
The joke led to more nonsensical chatter.
Although the tone of the conversation was jovial, a heaviness settled in their hearts.
Su Yun, the legendary research graduate, was assistant to Dr. Zheng and Departnt Chief Kong called the man ‘Boss Zheng’...
With the exception of a few old and respected experts in the country, Departnt Chief Kong never used the title ‘boss’ to refer to anyone.
The departnt chiefs were witnessing one of the hardest interventional surgeries in history. Not only had Zheng Ren not broken a sweat, the whole procedure had been perford perfectly. None of the chiefs could replicate what they had just seen.
“Old Kong, you lucky man!” so of the departnt chiefs jeered.
“I have a good eye for talent.” The complints made Departnt Chief Kong beam.
“Ah, this is like finding a diamond on the floor. Anyone who isn’t blind would pick it up. Good on you.”
As the departnt chiefs chatted good-naturedly, Zheng Ren completed the sixth and final embolization.
One radiography later, the area around the prostate was clear. The surgery was a success.
Zheng Ren did not step away from the operating table to allow Su Yun to finish up. The System display showed that the surgery was 99% complete.
He decided to see the surgery to the end. He retrieved the materials from the patient’s body and closed the entry point. Gauze and bandages were used to seal the wound.
Su Yun did not question Zheng Ren’s decision and helped with the dressing. Throughout the whole surgery, he had not spoken a word.
100% completion.
The chi echoed in Zheng Ren’s ears, signalling a completed mission.
[Mission: The First Stage of The Great Beginning 2
[Task: Complete the prostate interventional embolization surgery.
[Reward:
[1. Passive ability—Luck points 4
[2. Passive ability—Unlimited Charm, double effect
[3. Passive ability—Integration. Include joint diagnosis across different specializations, equipped with multiple skills during treatnt.
[Ti: 7 days.
[Ti remaining: 6 days, 13 hours, 22 minutes.]
The passive abilities did not interest Zheng Ren as he could not see the benefits of having them.
The 6.5 days of intensive training ti was what he was after.
He felt uneasy without a substantial store of training ti on hand. Smiling, he removed his surgical gown and tossed it into the red bin before heading back into the changing room and returning his special lead vest to the System.
He entered the control room in an isolation suit.
The control room was sizable, at least twice the size of the one in Sea City General Hospital. However, having 20 doctors in it still made it feel crowded.
“Perfect!” Departnt Chief Kong stood up and patted Zheng Ren on the shoulders.
He noticed no sweat marks on the isolation suit and shook his head in admiration. “Young man, how envious I am of your stamina.”
“Boss Zheng! That was incredible!” An interventional surgery departnt chief from another Class Three Grade A hospital stood, approached Zheng Ren to shake his hand and introduced himself.
Every person in the room wanted to introduce themselves to Zheng Ren. The barrage of nas and backgrounds made him see stars.
He wanted to tell them to stop. His late-stage face blindness was bad enough that he could hardly rember a single stranger, let alone twenty.
These doctors all looked the sa to him and he was sure that he would not recognize them upon their next encounter.
However, he did get a confidence boost from their eagerness to greet him. The surgery must have been perfect to garner the attention of all these top-tier doctors.
Once the introductions had died down, Departnt Chief Kong asked, “What’s there to look out for post-surgery?”
“Within 24 hours, prostate hyperplasia will subside and the urinary catheter can be removed then,” Zheng Ren said matter-of-factly.
There was muttering among the crowd in the control room.
It usually took 24-48 hours for the prostate to show any significant shrinkage. How had this doctor arrived at his figure?
“Sure.” Departnt Chief Kong did not argue. “You must be tired. Co, rest in my office.”
Zheng Ren nodded.
