After he finished changing, Professor Rudolf Wagner entered the console room outside the operating theater.

Through the leaded gla.s.s, he saw the patient positioned at a strange angle. Before he could take a closer look, a tiny woman asked, “Who are you?”

Chief Xia from gastroenterology was confused by Professor Rudolf Wagner’s entrance.

“Chief Xia, this is Professor Rudolf Wagner from Heidelberg University.” Xie Yiren made the introductions, being familiar with the professor after he had a.s.sisted in Zheng Ren’s surgeries the night before.

Chief Xia was at a loss for words. When had a German professor come to the hospital? Normally, the hospital’s publicity would be off the charts when a professor came for a visit and exchange.

Could the man be a fraud?

She stared at Professor Rudolf Wagner doubtfully.

“I’m here for Zheng, beautiful lady,” Professor Rudolf Wagner explained in stiff Mandarin.

“You’re looking for Dr. Zheng? Why?” Chief Xia asked without thinking.

“Zheng has G.o.d’s own hands,” he answered, “I wish to form a research team on a novel surgical method with him, but Zheng has rejected my offer.”

Chief Xia began sweating profusely.

Her first instinct told her that this foreign-looking expert was a fraud conspiring with Zheng Ren.

However, on second thought, it was pointless to be in denial.

Was he telling the truth?

She hesitated.

“Professor, you specialize in…” Chief Xia asked.

“Interventional surgery,” Professor Rudolf Wagner said. “I began performing TIPS surgery twenty years ago. To date, I’ve completed more than three hundred TIPS surgeries and am probably one of the doctors in the world with the most under their belt.”

This was an impressive number and the professor knew it.

It was rare to find an interventional surgeon who had done more than a hundred TIPS surgeries, but he had accomplished thrice that.

In terms of experience, no one could match him.

Especially since TIPS surgery required experience and luck… Professor Rudolf Wagner felt slightly disappointed as he thought of luck.

Many years ago, he had tried to improve the surgery to reduce its reliance on luck, but failed.

Perhaps it was a test from G.o.d. The adage placated him somewhat.

Chief Xia’s eyes widened upon hearing Professor Rudolf Wagner’s words.

If… if the professor was telling the truth, there was hope for her old cla.s.smate.

Truthfully, Chief Xia doubted that a young doctor like Zheng Ren could complete a TIPS surgery, especially an emergency one.

The possibility of that happening was near zero.

There was a vast difference between an emergency and non-emergency surgery, especially one that involved hematemesis and ascites.

An ordinary TIPS surgery required the patient be in the supine position with local anesthesia on the neck region. If the patient felt pain during the puncture, a dose of Dolantin would easily solve the problem.

On the other hand, patients in emergency TIPS surgery vomiting blood could end up choking on their own blood in that position.

That was why the patient had been placed in the lateral position for surgery, even if it was a little awkward…

Professor Rudolf Wagner was surprised to see the goings-on in the operating room.

Zheng was too daring!

This was TIPS surgery. A tiny mistake would lead to failure.

This was the man’s first time performing it and he had still chosen to use such an awkward position.
