Chapter 206 - Master Mu, You’re Good (Part 3 of 5) (1/2)

“Let’s go to the interventional radiology suite,” Su Yun said just as Zheng Ren was about to make the call.

“Okay.” How did Su Yun know? Zheng Ren had no clue and could not be bothered to ask the nancy boy, who would surely respond with sarcasm.

“Just try your best, and remember, giving up doesn’t mean failure,” Su Yun advised along the way.

“Is it legal for us to perform surgery here?” asked Zheng Ren upon realizing the potentially major issues that could arise.

Su Yun smirked. “It’s too late for you to think of that now.”

“…”

“The patients have signed informed consent doc.u.ments long ago. None disagreed after knowing that the top experts in the country will be performing surgery on them. Our medical certificates, licenses to practice, and both photocopies of and original ident.i.ty cards have been submitted to the medical administration division for the record as well. There won’t be any problems,” Su Yun added.

Zheng Ren was finally relieved. He had been so immersed in thought about the patients’ conditions and diagnoses that he had forgotten about this particularly complicated issue. However, it was hardly his fault as such affairs were usually handled by hospital management.

Fortunately, he had Su Yun, who was clearly the perfect a.s.sistant.

Whether Su Yun also thought the same remained a mystery.

Perhaps he was more interested in establis.h.i.+ng that pet medical center.

“The professors are standing by, so don’t push yourself too hard if you can’t complete the surgery.” Su Yun repeated tirelessly. “Your illness has weakened you; you’re profusely sweating after that short walk. Did you do something unspeakable behind my back last night?”

“…” Zheng Ren was speechless.

…

…

All patients were transferred to the operating table at eight o’clock sharp.

After the doctors repeatedly confirmed the patients’ medical records and imaging films, six surgeries began at the same time.

Mu Tao was in a good mood. He had performed retrograde 3D image reconstruction of the 64-slice CT scans and compiled the data of three patients in the past two days.

The image reconstruction of the CT films made him feel that he had fully grasped the patients’ conditions, which felt exhilarating!

There was absolutely no need to worry about intraoperative accidents in the slightest.

Mu Tao glanced at Old Wu, who was chatting with a few elderly professors, and left with a smile.

A doctor working in the hospital was instructed to a.s.sist Mu Tao in surgery. They then proceeded to change their attire.

When he began to scrub up, he noticed that Jin Yaowu and the rest had come to perform the surgical scrub at almost the same time. All of them were now at the same starting line.

However, Mu Tao firmly believed that the compet.i.tion, which was merely a transition, was now completely unnecessary.

After all, he had mastered a core technology, one that could significantly minimize the risk of intraoperative accidents, while others had not. Was there still a need to compete? Absolutely not!

The doctor from Sea City had been smart enough to find an excuse to leave before the surgery began. As for Jin Yaowu and the rest… Hehe, the truth would utterly humiliate them!

Without letting pride consume his mind, he began to recall the imaging films of the patient who was about to undergo surgery.

One of the tumor-feeding arteries originated from the renal artery, which could have easily been overlooked by another surgeon.

Even if the surgeon was serious, responsible and finally managed to locate the artery, both patient and surgeon would have been exposed to significantly more radiation over time.

This patient was really lucky to have been chosen by Mu Tao.

It was incredibly important to learn and promote new technologies. Had it not been for the livestream broadcast by Montreal General Hospital in Canada, there was no way he would have suspected the origin of this tumor-feeding vessel.

He put on his lead ap.r.o.n and finished scrubbing up.

When Mu Tao returned to the interventional radiology suite with a steady gait, the doctor had already applied surgical drape on the operating site and was waiting for him to perform an arterial cannulation.

Mu Tao knew that all surgeries would be broadcast to the surgical demonstration cla.s.sroom. Every operation would occupy a small section of the screen, and if anyone wished to watch a particular surgery in detail, each could be zoomed in on for the professors to study and evaluate.

He would definitely be the focus of discussion today. That was beyond question.

Mu Tao stood in front of the operating table, unhurried.

Pursuing speed would make him fall behind dramatically.

After calming his thoughts, he checked the patient’s name and read the imaging films on the radiographic film viewer while recalling the 3D image reconstruction of the 64-slice CT films.

This patient’s condition was considerably tricky as the tumor-feeding blood vessel branched from the renal artery. Without the 3D image reconstruction of the 64-slice CT scan, the surgery would have taken at least three hours for him to complete.

Now, he only needed a little over half an hour to finish it.

Mu Tao quickly recalled and extrapolated the patient’s blood vessel network for surgery before confidently picking up an arterial cannulation needle.

A flashback of blood came at the first p.r.i.c.k.

The introducer sheath was then inserted. Following the insertion of the guidewire, Mu Tao estimated its location and turned on the imaging system at the perfect moment.
