Chapter 30: Finally Beco A Trophy Child
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[I just arrived. Can anyone explain to why the surgeon is performing a low-class surgery like an appendectomy in a live broadcast?]
[Low-class? It’s an art if you can finish an appendectomy within three minutes. Do you even know what’s art?]
[Agreed. I’ve watched this broadcast the whole night and I’m going to apply for leave today just to see how many appendectomies this surgeon can do consecutively.]
Zheng Ren was currently performing a simple appendectomy. No matter how skillful or superb his surgical technique was, it was quite tireso and dull especially when the viewers had been observing the sa procedure over and over again.
The main reason why the doctors continued to watch the livestream was to know exactly how many appendectomies this surgeon could perform consecutively before he burned out. Apart from that, so newcors who complinted the surgeon for his proficiency and were ridiculed in return caught so of the viewers’ interest as well.
This was definitely a world record and no competitor would co close to that result.
[Was this surgery perford by a human? How could he finish it so quickly?]
[The incisions weren’t made on the standard McBurney’s point, but every surgical wound was made closest to the inflad appendix. Is there any new investigation thod that allows the surgeon to pinpoint the exact location of an appendix?]
[Young man, don’t be naive. The surgeon has been performing surgery continuously and every patient was examined preoperatively in the operating theater. I’m certain that there isn’t any new appendix detection thod and it was his profound clinical experience that gave him such a precise judgnt in every appendectomy.]
After an appendectomy was completed, another case would be wheeled in.
Every doctor watching the livestream had the inkling that the surgeon was going to perform surgeries until the end of ti.
When the mountains beca plains, and when the heavens and earth ca together as one united piece, only then would the surgery cease.
After a patient was transferred out of the operating theater upon completion of their surgery at a quarter past nine, the operating table remained empty for so ti.
Was he done?
Every doctor in the livestream was lost in thought.
Ten minutes later, they finally confird that the demon who had perford appendectomies ceaselessly had treated all available acute appendicitis cases in the city and the surrounding counties.
[Finally... I’ve been watching for fifteen hours straight.]
[How many did he perform?]
[Forty-nine in total. 666!]
Forty-nine appendectomies within twenty-four hours. Anyone who saw this figure would definitely be agape. If they had been the ones performing the surgeries in their own hospitals, that tifra would probably not have been enough to anesthetize all the patients to begin with.
Every doctor who watched the livestream felt dispirited and disheartened after analyzing the situation from a different perspective. The surgeon’s standard, his technical skills, his scrub nurses, his anesthesiologists...
Zheng Ren had finally beco a trophy child and received tons of admiration from others.
...
...
Zheng Ren finally left the operating theater after the last appendectomy was complete.
After a brief mont of hesitation, he had decided not to call Xie Yiren, who must be in a deep sleep. Despite his insensitive and heartless attitude, there was actually so emotional intelligence left in his heart.
He searched through the contacts in his cell phone and called Old Chief Physician Pan.
“Chief Physician Pan, it’s .
“Okay, I’ll co down imdiately.”
After the brief conversation, Zheng Ren changed into normal attire quickly without taking a shower and rushed toward the surgical demonstration classroom in the general surgery departnt.
The elevator reached the floor of the general surgery departnt, and as soon as the gates slid open, Zheng Ren was shocked.
A strong miasma assailed his nostrils.
It was a familiar cacophony of slls—bromodosis, disinfectants, flatulence under the blanket for the whole night, food, and the stench from the toilets—which was also known as the sll of life.
Nowadays, the National Health and Family Planning Commission disallowed the addition of extra hospital beds in Class Three Grade A Hospitals, so it had been almost two years since Zheng Ren last experienced this familiar scent.
He then realized that the hospital was congested with patients due to the dozens of appendectomies he had perford in one night.
Instead of feeling disgust at this malodor, which slled just like ho to Zheng Ren’s, his heart was at ease as if he had returned to when he first arrived at Sea City General Hospital.
Zheng Ren knocked on the door upon reaching the surgical demonstration classroom.
There was deafening arguing coming from inside it and no one answered the door.
Thus, Zheng Ren simply opened the door and went inside. The chief of the dical administration division was sitting in front of the projector screen, and opposite him sat Chief Surgeon Liu from the first general surgery departnt, Chief Surgeon Sun from the second general surgery departnt, deputy chief surgeons, and chief residents.
On the other hand, Chief Physician Old Pan was leisurely sitting next to the window and tapping the worn cover of Limited Views with his finger lightly, obviously in jubilation.
“Chief Surgeon Liu, you’re one of the backbones of our hospital managent. How could you do this? Couldn’t you see the big picture in this matter?” the chief of the dical administration division berated harsly.
Chief Surgeon Liu’s lips parted, but a coback failed to leave his mouth, nor did he shalessly stand up and apologize for his mistake.
The chief of the dical administration division said, “Matron Li barged in while the hospital’s upper managent was having a eting this morning. You’re aware of Matron Li’s attitude as well, and most importantly, whatever she said was reasonable. What you did...”
“After the ergency board eting, we’ve decided to let the ergency departnt handle every acute appendicitis case from now on. This matter ends here,” the chief of the dical administration division concluded.
“I would like that too, but where is my manpower?” asked Old Chief Physician Pan calmly.
The chief surgeons of the general surgery departnt were no longer his concern as they had failed miserably, especially when there were forty-nine videos to slap the taste out of their mouths if either of them exploded with rage.
Who could endure a forty-nine hit combo?
“Old Chief Physician Pan, don’t worry.” The issue gave the chief of the dical administration division a headache. Increasing dical disputes had caused nurous healthcare disturbances to beco a norm in the modern dical world. Nowadays, every hospital in the country suffered from a lack of dical personnel, especially the ergency and pediatrics departnts.
In fact, every other departnt had staff shortages to a certain degree as well.
Old Chief Physician Pan was an experienced senior doctor, and if he decided to cause trouble when provoked... The chief of the dical administration division preferred not to experience that sort of calamity.
Elderly n needed to be respected and coaxed, which was exactly why the chief of the dical administration division ignored the culprit behind this chaotic ss when he entered the room just now. If the target had been soone else, the chief would have definitely co down on him like a ton of bricks no matter if they were in the right or wrong.
“Chief, I’ve a complaint.” Chief Surgeon Liu stood up and gestured to Cen ng, who acknowledged it and walked toward the computer brazenly to search for sothing.
“Keep the complaint to yourself. This is the will of the hospital’s upper managent team.” The chief of the dical administration division was stern in his answer and disallowed any room for discussion.
Chief Surgeon Liu, who had expected this sort of response, ignored the chief of the dical administration division and spoke to Old Chief Physician Pan, “Zheng Ren once ntioned that he could make the surgery woundless if he was treating a simple case of acute appendicitis.”
Cen ng found the conversation between Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren during the surgery and played it on the projector screen.
“Yes. I can make it woundless if it’s just a simple appendicitis case.” Zheng Ren’s words reached everyone’s ears.
“I’ll resign if he can do it.” Chief Surgeon Liu grasped at the only mistake Zheng Ren had made like a dog stubbornly biting onto a feces-stained wooden stick.
He even used his resignation as a bargaining chip in order to retain whatever dignity he had left.
“Are you taking a joke made in the operating theater seriously?” Old Chief Physician Pan smiled and added, “How did you perform surgeries all these years? I’m doubting you.”
“Chief Surgeon Liu, I think Zheng Ren was rely joking too, so can you please stop acting unreasonably?”
“Unreasonably?” Chief Surgeon Liu remained recalcitrant despite his overwhelming defeat and said, “I admit that he did a very good job in his surgeries, but not better... better than .”
Chief Surgeon Liu was unwilling to admit his appendectomy skill was comparable to Zheng Ren’s even in his final struggle. He was not alone here and everyone was aware of his standards. They would definitely slander him if he boasted confidently without knowing his limitations.
“Well, I took whatever he said very seriously. If he can perform a woundless appendectomy, I’ll resign imdiately and won’t care which departnt will take over all appendicitis cases in the future.”
“Despicable man,” Old Chief Physician Pan mocked.
“Chief Surgeon Liu, it’s unwise to act on your impulses without any considerations,” the chief of the dical administration division said earnestly, trying to persuade Chief Surgeon Liu not to make matters worse. If Old Chief Physician Pan, who had proved his ttle in those surgeries, coerced him into allocating essential dical personnel to the ergency departnt within two days... many staff in the dical administration division might commit suicide.
“Chief Surgeon Liu, a resignation isn’t necessary, but you’ve got to promise that the general surgery departnt won’t handle any acute appendicitis case in the future. Listen very carefully: not just the first general surgery departnt, but the whole general surgery departnt,” Zheng Ren retaliated, looking askew at Chief Surgeon Liu.
F*ck! They were crazy! All of them were out of their god damned minds!
A woundless appendectomy? Who had heard of it previously?! Was Zheng Ren getting dazed after performing so many surgeries? How could he accept the challenge just like that?
