Chapter 958: Liver Hernia?
The patient was sent to the ICU by Dong Jia from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic surgery.
Now that Professor Yang recalled the process of the operation, he still could not believe that it was real.
Partial splenectomy was a very difficult and difficult operation for the current medical conditions and technological level. Not to mention that the surgery that was completed was a huge spleen caused by Gaucher disease.
But how could it be so simple in Boss Zheng’s hands?
Professor Yang had a feeling that, even without the last package of the spleen omentum, the surgery was successful and established!
“Boss Zheng, are you free tonight? Do you want to have a meal together?” Yang Lei came to Zheng Ren’s side and asked with a slightly confused expression.
“I have something to do tonight.” Zheng Ren smiled apologetically and said.
“Oh, let’s do it another day then.” Professor Yang felt lost.
However, it did not matter. His relations.h.i.+p with Boss Zheng was very harmonious. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Professor Yang had already predicted that many patients would come to seek treatment soon after the live broadcast of the giant spleen surgery for Gaucher disease.
They went to change their clothes and smoked a cigarette together. Professor Yang and Zheng Ren waved goodbye and returned to their respective wards.
“Boss Zheng, why don’t you go and get in touch with them?” Chief Kong asked after seeing Professor Yang leave.
Su Yun had wanted to ask Zheng Ren a long time ago.
“There’s a consultation case from the Mayo Clinic. I want to go back and study it,” Zheng Ren said calmly. “The case is very interesting. I saw on the 64-slice CT scan that the intima of the renal artery was incomplete. I thought that the stent might have been placed there, but for some reason, the stent was removed.”
“Mayo Clinic?” Chief Kong was dazed for a moment when he heard the name.
“It’s a patient from India who underwent an experimental surgery. After he underwent RDN, he developed severe bilateral renal artery stenosis,” Zheng Ren explained.
Chief Kong smiled bitterly.
Zheng Ren had actually used the surgery live broadcast to stir up a huge wave under his very nose, and at the same time, he had silently gained the recognition of Mayo Clinic.
If one day, the Mayo Clinic extended an olive branch to him, would he still be able to stay in the 912 hospital?
If it were him, he definitely would not.
It was really a very difficult thing to keep Boss Zheng. Chief Kong was suddenly lost in thought.
“Boss, you say you don’t want it, but your body language is very honest. It’s still the same. I’m very gratified,” Su Yun said.
“A consultation fee of a hundred thousand US dollars? I think it’s okay,” Zheng Ren said. “This kind of experimental surgery costs a lot of money. A hundred thousand US dollars is really not a lot to ask me to treat a patient.”
“…” Chief Kong felt a little dizzy.
“The key thing is, I don’t want to get too involved in this.” Zheng Ren walked. As he spoke, he voiced his thoughts. “The research on hypertension is too complicated, and it involves knowledge of internal medicine. I don’t have time to systematically study and solve it now.”
Su Yun’s expression changed. Before he could say anything, Zheng Ren continued.
“The key is that even if I want to solve it, I can’t.”
Su Yun’s expression relaxed a lot.
If Zheng Ren said that he could solve the problem of hypertension, then it would be too freakis.h.!.+
The more familiar the disease was, the more popular it was, and the harder it was to solve it. There were many types of hypertension, and kidney-derived hypertension was only one of the many research directions in Western medicine.
Looking at the situation, Medtronic had invested a lot in this, but there was no progress.
If it could be done… Even Su Yun’s heart jumped. If… hypothetically… if… This was a sure-fire n.o.bel Prize project, and it was uncontroversial.
Chief Kong shook his head. He smiled and said, “Go and do your work. You have to pay more attention to the interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps in the hospital. I reckon that Little Yang is going to invite a few familiar young, leading group professors for a meal today. This is a very good opportunity. Don’t miss it in the future…”
Speaking up to this point, Chief Kong paused.
Miss it? It seemed that Professor Yang had missed Zheng Ren. With Zheng Ren’s standard, it seemed that he did not need to be like a junior doctor to curry favor with the professor.
In fact, professor Yang needed to spend a lot of effort to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Zheng Ren.
He was still too young, and people could not help but want to ignore him. He immediately thought of Zhu Liangchen. That Old Fifth Zhu, he would probably suffer a big setback in this matter.
However, he had already made everything clear. He could not possibly go to the Imperial Capital Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Hospital and point at Old Fifth’s Zhu nose and scold him.
When they were in school, everyone was still young and inexperienced. It was fine to do so. But now… It was better to forget about it.
Returning to the Intervention Department, Chief Kong went straight to his office. Zheng Ren began to ponder over the email sent by the Mayo Clinic.
Su Yun had already replied to the email, but he had yet to receive any feedback.
Su Yun was a little interested in Zheng Ren’s research this time. He began to discuss the relevant cases and solutions with Zheng Ren, guessing why the Mayo Clinic had failed and why the renal artery stenting surgery had failed.
Strictly speaking, this was a real scientific research. It was boring. The most important thing was that there was no direction that could be broken through.
However, every time Zheng Ren brought the topic of research back to a simple case, he did not allow Su Yun to think outside the box and bring it to the research on hypertension.
One hour…
Two hours…
At around three o’clock in the afternoon, Zheng Ren’s phone rang.
“Boss Zheng, there is a patient who has been transferred to another hospital in the emergency department. Cui Lao asked you to take a look,” Zhou Litao said after picking up the phone.
“What patient?”
“A patient with a diaphragmatic hernia who developed a hepatic hernia after two operations.”
“…” Zheng Ren was slightly stunned.
A hepatic hernia was very rare. Most internal hernias were hollow organs such as the gastrointestinal tract.
For example, because the liver was relatively large, the ligaments were fixed firmly. It was very difficult to pa.s.s through the diaphragm and form a hernia in the chest.
“Boss, what’s the matter?” Su Yun asked when Zheng Ren hung up the phone and was about to turn off the computer.
“Cui Lao has a patient with a liver hernia. Let’s go take a look,” Zheng Ren said.
“It’s a long-distance consultation. You don’t want to do a job that costs a hundred thousand US dollars just for a casual opinion? Are you out of your mind to be involved in such a troublesome matter?”
“Are you not interested in a liver hernia?” Zheng Ren did not answer Su Yun’s question. Instead, he asked.
Su Yun chuckled. He closed the notebook and handed it to Chang Yue. Then, he walked out of the office with Zheng Ren and headed straight for the Emergency Department.
“Boss, I feel that Cui Lao wants to trap you one patient at a time in the Emergency Department.” Su Yun nagged as they walked.
“Yes, I know.” Zheng Ren nodded.
This was just a small trick. Anyone could have thought of it. However, Cui Lao had not looked for Zheng Ren for a while. Once he made a move, just the word ‘liver hernia’ would make Zheng Ren’s index finger move.
Not only Zheng Ren, even Su Yun could not suppress his curiosity this time.
