Chapter 927: The Patient Has A Problem
“Although Boss Zheng is working on a n.o.bel Prize project, he’s still young. It would be awkward if no one supported him,” Zhou Chunyong said with a smile. “I’ll go down with you. Don’t let others find fault with you. They’ll say that our Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Hospital doesn’t value technology and talents.”
Zhu Liangchen knew what this guy was thinking. He chatted with him indifferently and they went downstairs together.
Standing at the entrance of the inpatient department, he saw a few people walking over from afar. There was also a girl whose ponytail was swinging happily.
“Why are there so many people?” Zhou Chunyong asked in puzzlement.
It was said that he was a junior doctor who was poached from Sea City in Northeast China by Chief Kong of the 912. He had just arrived not long ago. In Zhou Chunyong’s imagination, it should be Boss Zheng, who won the n.o.bel Prize, coming alone.
“Boss Zheng’s team,” Zhu Liangchen said with a smile, “In the middle is Boss Zheng, and on the left is Boss Zheng’s a.s.sistant, Su Yun. The tall foreigner on the right is Professor Rudolf Wagner from the medical center of Heidelberg University in Germany, and the one next to him is Professor Rudolf’s a.s.sistant.”
“Who is that girl?”
“She’s Boss Zheng’s scrub nurse.”
“…” Zhou Chunyong cursed in his heart. He had been in clinical work for so many years, but he had never seen anyone who had a scrub nurse.
Was she so ostentatious?
Originally, he had wanted to mock Boss Zheng and make things difficult for Zhu Liangchen. But from the looks of it, he even brought his own scrub nurse. What else was there to say?
Young people always showed off. Zhou Chunyong thought this to himself as a way to comfort himself. However, he was even more interested in this young Boss Zheng. Many chief physicians and academicians did not dare to hire their own scrub nurse. Where did his confidence come from?
Zhu Liangchen waved at Zheng Ren and greeted him with a smile on his face.
As the chief physician, Zhou Chunyong did not take the initiative. Instead, he stood on the steps and waited for Zhu Liangchen to introduce him after the small talk.
They were really young. Other than Rudolf Wagner, everyone else was very young. They were not even thirty years old, and they were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a vitality that Zhou Chunyong envied.
However, they also had an advantage when they were older. They would not be as rash as young people. Chief Zhou and Zhu Liangchen had the same thoughts. They were not very strict when it came to live broadcasts of surgeries.
In an instant, Zhou Chunyong even thought about how Zhu Liangchen did not introduce him and deliberately left him aside.
This kind of thing had happened before. After that, as long as he said that he was in a hurry for the surgery and forgot about it, would he really be able to find trouble with him?
Countless thoughts arose in Chief Zhou’s mind, but the smile on his face became warmer.
“This is Chief Zhou from our Intervention Department.” Zhu Liangchen did not take extreme measures. Instead, after he received Zheng Ren, he introduced Zhou Chunyong to Zheng Ren.
They shook hands, exchanged a few simple greetings, and walked all the way to the ward.
“Where’s Chief Kong?” Zhu Liangchen asked.
“Professor Pei Yingjie from the Sorcery Capital left a message early this morning. He said that he had rushed over. He had said that he would come earlier, but there was an academic conference there, and it was delayed for a few days,” Zheng Ren said. “I booked the surgery, and Chief Kong said that he would pick it up and then come with Professor Pei.”
“Oh.” Zhu Liangchen nodded.
Zhou Chunyong frowned. Was Pei Yingjie also coming to watch the TIPS surgery?
They came all the way to the ward. Hu Yanhui was carrying a black backpack and had already been waiting in the corridor outside the ward.
Zheng Ren nodded and motioned for her to wait for a while. Then, he followed Zhu Liangchen to start reading the radiographic films before the surgery.
Usually, when the patient met the professor, the patient was already waiting on the operating table. When they arrived at the hospital, they went straight to the operating table.
Regarding the patient’s condition, it was enough for them to take a look at the radiographic films during the surgery.
Actually, with Zheng Ren’s standard, he could totally do this.
However, Zheng Ren insisted on taking a look at the patient and the radiographic films before the surgery. He wanted to understand the patient’s condition before he went on stage and try his best to prevent the patient from finding out that there were other taboos during the surgery after he went on stage.
Zhou Chunyong just followed behind and watched coldly.
This young man was very cautious. He did not know his level yet, but just the way he acted was not something that an ordinary person could do. Did he not run freelance surgeries for the sake of money? He saved as much time as he could. However, the person in front of him was a different kind of person.
In Zhou Chunyong’s heart, Zheng Ren’s impression of him increased a little.
He read the radiographic films and looked at the patients. Zhu Liangchen repeated these tasks three times, afraid that he would make a mistake. Therefore, Zheng Ren read them very quickly. When it was time for the fifth patient, Zheng Ren asked Zhu Liangchen to send the patient to the operating theater.
In this case, the timing was better. After he finished reading the radiographic films and the patient, the preoperative preparations for the surgery were completed. He went up to change his clothes and went straight to the surgery.
When Zheng Ren saw the eighth patient, he suddenly stopped.
The smooth procedure was suddenly stuck fast.
“Boss Zheng?” Zhu Liangchen was stunned. He looked at Zheng Ren in confusion and asked.
“Let me take a look at this patient’s test report,” Zheng Ren said.
A doctor who was in charge of the bed was waiting at the back with a medical record holder. When Zheng Ren mentioned the test report, he flipped to the test report and handed it over with his right hand.
Zheng Ren frowned slightly and looked at the test report carefully.
He looked up at the radiographic films and looked down at the test report. For a full two minutes, Zheng Ren remained silent.
“Boss Zheng?” Zhu Liangchen was even more puzzled. This patient looked fine on his own. Why was he stuck here.
“Don’t you think it’s strange that the patient has cirrhosis, Professor Zhu?” Zheng Ren said.
Strange? There was nothing strange about it. Zhu Liangchen went through the diseases related to cirrhosis of the liver and portal hypertension in his mind.
It was not related to the patient in front of him.
“Routine blood investigations showed thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, and erythrocyte reduction. Routine urine investigations showed hematuria and microalb.u.minuria.” Zheng Ren frowned and said, “From the radiographic films, it’s not very accurate. Professor Zhu, let’s go take a look at the patient.”
Almost all patients with cirrhosis had hypersplenism. Platelets were maintained at 80, which was a good number. Similarly, there was a decrease in white blood cells, which was not of diagnostic significance. As for erythrocytes… it was just a little less.
Zhu Liangchen thought that Zheng Ren was not being cautious… It was not easy for him to determine what it was. Previously, there were patients with routine blood investigations similar to this patient, but Zheng Ren did not say anything.
However, he did not refuse Zheng Ren’s request to take a look at the patient. He accompanied Zheng Ren to see the patient with a head full of disappointment.
Zhou Chunyong did not go. After all, they were two departments. In name, he was the chief director, but in terms of business, it was better not to cross the line.
Otherwise, Zhu Liangchen would definitely fight back at all costs. Everyone would be embarra.s.sed.
When Zhu Liangchen and Zheng Ren went out, Zhou Chunyong walked to the radiographic film viewer and carefully looked at the radiographic films.
There was nothing wrong with the diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver. There was also portal hypertension and a large amount of ascites. It was an indication for TIPS surgery.
Zhu Liangchen was an old doctor for many years. His level and skills were not to be picked on. There would definitely not be any problems with this.
But what did Boss Zheng’s performance mean?
