Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chief Kong hung up the phone after he finished speaking. He was in an extremely happy mood.
Although Director Sun’s side had no power or influence and was only the small director of the community hospital, the two of them had a good relations.h.i.+p. To be able to pretend for a moment in front of an old friend, Chief Kong felt refreshed. It was as if he was ten years younger.
However, Chief Kong immediately began to worry.
Boss Zheng’s progress was simply too fast.
The average freelance surgeon was only in the city or province. There were not many people who could fly all over the country. However, it had only been a few months. Not only had Zheng Ren started his freelance surgery, but even the Imperial Capital and the entire country could not accommodate him. In the blink of an eye, he had gone to Mayo Medical Center.
At this speed, if he was given three years, would he fly to Mars to perform surgery on the Martians, let alone Mayo?
Chief Kong smiled awkwardly.
What he could do was to help the young people find the flaws and fill in the gaps. That was all.
Was there anything that Boss Zheng had overlooked? Chief Kong thought about it and immediately thought of a few points.
His t.i.tle was still attending physician. This was a hidden danger.
Could an attending physician be an expert? The speed of his progress was too fast, and his foundation was still unstable. However, it seemed that Zheng Ren did not need it at all… He was a talented person who directly flew to the Mayo Clinic to partic.i.p.ate in international consultations and surgeries.
An expert could not go to the Mayo Clinic. Those who could go to the Mayo Clinic were not considered experts…
The huge difference between them made Chief Kong feel ridiculous.
Forget it. He would do his best on this matter. Regardless of whether Boss Zheng could use it or not, he had to do something.
Chief Kong smiled and began to think about what Zheng Ren needed to break through to the next round.
…
Sun Ming hung up the phone. It took him two minutes to react.
Was what Chief Kong said true? There was no doubt about that.
It was harmless to joke around. However, when it came to the n.o.bel Prize and the Mayo Clinic, it would be too much to joke around.
Moreover, doing so would be easy to be exposed. That would be unkind.
Chief Kong was not this kind of person. Sun Ming did not even check the information before he believed Chief Kong’s words.
He thought for a moment and suppressed the surprise in his heart. He calmly took a sip of tea before he slowly stood up and opened the door.
“Director Sun…” the middle-aged man asked hesitantly.
“You guys.” Director Sun did not mind taking a pinch at this time. He shook his head, turned around, and walked to the office desk with his hands behind his back. “Come in.”
The two family members of the patients did not know what was going on, so they followed him in with confusion.
“Chief Kong is very dedicated. I didn’t expect that he would…” Director Sun said and shook his head. In order to express his feelings, he deliberately let out a long sigh, which made the two distant relatives feel uneasy.
Director Sun said, “The young doctor who showed you the radiographic films is a candidate for this year’s n.o.bel Prize in Medicine. Tell me about you.”
If it were other awards, outsiders would most likely not know about it. However, the n.o.bel Prize was such a top award. Almost everyone knew what it meant.
There was no need for more description. Just the word n.o.bel prize alone was enough to make them dumbfounded.
“Do you know why Chief Kong is in such a hurry?” Director Sun did not pause, but he directly said, “It’s because the young doctor you mentioned is going to the United States to perform surgery on foreigners. The cost of one surgery was hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it was still US dollars.
“Do you know how much it costs to look at radiographic films? A hundred thousand dollars! Do you think ten thousand dollars is too much? Boss Zheng showed you the radiographic films for free, but you think he’s too young!”
“…” the two members of the patient’s family were completely dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that a ‘random’ junior doctor from the 912 would have such a background.
“Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and bring the child here. Take out the things that the young doctor wrote for you and show it to me. If you can do the test with me, do it directly. If you can’t do it, I’ll go find someone and do it quickly.”
“Tell me, how many people will be offended by this?” Director Sun scolded them, feeling particularly proud in his heart.
Three-dimensional CT reconstruction of the head, urine galactose test, blood galactose concentration test…
What the f*ck was this!
Director Sun looked at the A4 paper and was stunned for a long time.
This was definitely not an ordinary clinical examination. It was a rare item. The standard of the n.o.bel Prize candidate was indeed extraordinary. Director Sun kneeled extremely quickly and did not hesitate at all. Not to mention anything else, the ident.i.ty of a n.o.bel Prize candidate had shattered his inner self-restraint.
How many n.o.bel Prize winners had appeared in the entire country? How many candidates were there? Which one of them was not a mighty figure? He could not help but question.
This time, Director Sun personally brought his distant relatives to go through all sorts of examinations. He did not expect that he would actually ask such a G.o.d for medical treatment. However, this was also a chance to get to know each other. Director Sun was proficient in this and already had plans to befriend him.
The few examinations that Zheng Ren needed were relatively rare, but he could do all of them at the 912. Director Sun still had some connections at the 912, so it would not be difficult for him to rush the examinations.
It was not a big deal for him to brush his face for this matter.
Sun Ming was curious about what this young man was like. If he treated him to dinner tonight, would he drink himself to death?
He hurried over. Before he got off work, he finished all the examinations. Sun Ming brought the patient and the patient’s family members to the Department of Interventional Therapy.
Although it was time to get off work, the Department of Interventional Therapy was still busy. The patients, doctors, and nurses who performed the surgery were extremely busy.
This was the norm in a top-cla.s.s hospital in the country. Sun Ming was already used to it.
When he came to Chief Kong’s office, Sun Ming gently knocked on the door.
He had contacted Chief Kong before, so he must be in the office. Sun Ming directly pushed the door open and entered.
“Chief Kong, I’m here to trouble you again,” Sun Ming said with a smile as he entered the office.
As he spoke, he glanced around. In the office. Chief Kong was sitting in front of his desk, and a young man was sitting on another chair.
He was indeed a young man. He was really too young.
Sun Ming had expected this, but when he saw Zheng Ren, he could not help but be stunned.
He was thirty years old?
No way.
How could he be so young!
“Come, Old Sun, let me introduce you.” Chief Kong stood up and said with a smile, “This is the candidate for this year’s n.o.bel Prize in Medicine, Boss Zheng.”
Sure enough, it was him… Sun Ming stretched out his hand in confusion. The ideas that he had previously imagined to be pa.s.sionate and proactive all turned into smoke and disappeared without a trace.
“h.e.l.lo, Director Sun,” Zheng Ren said lightly.
“Uh…” A few seconds later, Sun Ming said, “Here is the check-up you wanted. Please take a look.”
Zheng Ren glanced at the people behind Sun Ming. One of the young men had a dull expression. The System panel showed the diagnosis: galactose.
His judgment was right. Zheng Ren smiled.
However, according to his habits, he still had to verify the diagnosis given by the System according to the patient’s objective check-up to avoid making mistakes.
