Chapter 828: Cannot be Copied
Shenzhen City, People’s Hospital of the Development Zone.
The chief’s office was completely silent.
Wu Haishi, Elder Wu, sat in the middle with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep. However, his fingers would occasionally tremble slightly, just like his thoughts. They kept jumping, but he could not find the direction.
Mu Tao stood beside Wu Haishi with a dumbfounded expression.
As for the other doctors, regardless of their qualifications, experience, or education, they all looked at Old Wu in confusion.
The live broadcast of the surgery ended. The time they spent was even less than the preoperative preparations for a normal surgery.
And…
this was…
TIPS surgery!
The most difficult surgery in the history of interventional medicine!
Was this the end? This was a little too fast.
Was this the standard of a n.o.bel Prize candidate?
Mu Tao looked at the frame that was frozen on the screen. What he recalled in his mind was not the process of the TIPS surgery, but the scenes in Pengxi Village.
An interventional embolization surgery for a severe pelvic fracture took 15 minutes.
And in front of him, the most difficult surgery in the interventional medicine, the TIPS surgery, was still 15 minutes.
Mu Tao knew very well that the thing that prevented the surgeon from shortening the time of the surgery was preoperative preparations. Just like Pengxi Village..
The corridor outside the operating theater was filled with the busy figures of doctors and nurses, as well as the patients who were being pressured to stop bleeding after the surgery.
The surgeon was wearing a lead jacket, a hat, and a mask. He stood in the operating theater, performing surgeries one after another, seemingly without end. He looked extremely tired, but he stood there, never falling down.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes and partic.i.p.ated in it personally, Mu Tao would never have believed it.
But even so, he could not believe it.
Knowing that the surgeon in the Xinglin Garden’s operating room was Zheng Ren, Mu Tao was still a little absent-minded.
Could there really be someone who could perform surgeries like this?
Looking at it, it was not difficult at all. It was very appropriate to describe it as ‘big, but simple’.
Zheng Ren’s honest face was full of bruises. His honest smile appeared in front of Mu Tao.
Wu Haishi, Elder Wu? He could not reach this level.
The Mayo Clinic? They could not reach that level either.
This surgery live broadcast video was worth thousands of gold coins. But Zheng Ren just had to put it on Xinglin Garden’s website to broadcast it live.
Was this the standard and magnanimity of a n.o.bel Prize candidate? How great must one’s background be to dare to do such a thing?!
“Mu Tao, did you have contact with Boss Zheng at the front line?” Wu Haishi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the last frame of the image.
“Professor, he and I did three days and four nights of surgery in Pengxi Village. Between the two surgeries, Boss Zheng was alone, and I was in the same surgery room as his a.s.sistant.” This was the umpteenth time that Mu Tao had answered this question. However, he still said it very seriously, without a trace of impatience.
“Boss Zheng’s skill level is really that high?” Wu Haishi, Elder Wu, said with an incredulous tone. “A few months ago in the Imperial Capital, Boss Zheng’s skill level was high, but it was only slightly higher than yours. And it was achieved through the three-dimensional reconstruction of 64-Slice CT scans.”
Mu Tao knew what his teacher meant. The improvement of Boss Zheng Ren’s skill level in surgery was too fast.
This was TIPS surgery!
A 15-minute TIPS surgery? What kind of level was this?
If Mu Tao had stood out in the Middle-aged and Young Doctors’ selection half a year ago and lost unjustly, now it seemed that it was inevitable.
“Teacher, my surgical skills are very different from Boss Zheng’s.” Mu Tao admitted it directly without any shame.
“Yes.”
“In Pengxi Village, Boss Zheng taught me how to do pelvic fracture embolization, which benefited me a lot,” Mu Tao said. “Also, Boss Zheng said that when I go back from the front line, as long as I have time, I can go find him.”
Wu Haishi was silent.
It was human nature for a medical pract.i.tioner to hide his achievements.
These were all skills.
To put it simply, they were used to feed their families.
To put it simply, this was a symbol of their academic status.
Other than their most trusted disciples, it was impossible for them to tell anyone else, especially the key details.
Some geniuses could comprehend and break through on their own. However, most people could not make any progress until they reached a certain point in their lives.
There were many grudges in the medical circle, and they were all related to surgical techniques.
Not to mention, in the hospital where Elder Wu used to be, the current director of the Department of Intervention was one of his disciples. Wu Haishi especially liked that person. He was talented, hardworking, and had a tenacity.
Because he had expectations, and he hoped that he would inherit his legacy, Wu Haishi was very strict with this disciple.
However, it was this kind of strictness, like that of a parent who wanted their child to succeed, that caused a huge gap between the master and disciple.
When Wu Haishi retired, he was kicked out of the hospital less than half a year after he handed over the position of chief.
Yes, he was kicked out dejectedly.
This was also the reason why many chiefs were unwilling to teach their own skills, so that they would not be kicked out.
Even if their subordinates did not know anything, it did not matter. It was the best, because only in this way would these bunch of wolves not be able to leave him.
The skills were not casually taught.
But this Boss Zheng…
Wu Haishi was stunned for a moment. His mind was filled with thoughts of the matter and he was stunned.
Mu Tao and the other doctors stood silently beside Wu Haishi and waited quietly.
After a long time, Wu Haishi let out a long breath and said, “Let’s prepare for today’s surgery.”
“Okay.” The few doctors turned around and left, starting to get busy.
“Mu Tao, do you want to go to the Imperial Capital?” Wu Haishi asked.
“Can I?” Mu Tao was a little nervous and asked softly.
After all, he had already delayed a lot of work by going to the Mayo Clinic first. Since he was not around, the surgery had to be performed by the teacher himself. He was already old. It was very difficult for him to perform the surgery while wearing lead clothing.
“Go ahead. It’s a pity not to go when there’s such a good opportunity.” Wu Haishi smiled and said, “I’m not too old to perform the surgery.”
“Thank you, Professor,” Mu Tao said.
“Tell me, how did Boss Zheng come up with a new surgical method?” Wu Haishi did not answer Mu Tao’s question. Instead, he changed the topic to Zheng Ren.
“I don’t know either. But I heard from Boss Zheng’s a.s.sistant that his standard has been greatly improved during his recent disaster a.s.sistance at the front line.”
“Is it the volume of the surgery?”
“It shouldn’t be. According to Hoss Zheng’s a.s.sistant, it should be in Nanchuan town. He found an undamaged gastrointestinal machine and performed surgery in the ruins of the front line. He encountered several strong aftershocks,” Mu Tao said softly, his heart still hurt when he spoke of the memory that he had sealed up. “Between life and death, he broke the shackles of technology and improved the level of surgery.”
“It’s like this. It cannot be replicated,” Wu Haishi said softly.
