Chapter 356 - Was The Surgeon’s Last Name Zheng? (1/2)

Under the murderous gaze of Professor Rudolph Wagner, Professor Tian took the hardcopy scans and escaped with his tail between his legs.

After much thought, Professor Tian still could not figure out where he had done to elicit such a negative response from Professor Rudolph Wagner.

Back in the orthopedic department, Professor Tian took some photos of the scans and forwarded them to the deputy department chief of the interventional surgery department in Imperial Capital.

Professor Tian was not adept in interpreting the image but he could tell there was minimal bleeding during the surgery.

He wanted to understand how it was done, and this required the expert opinion of an interventional surgeon.

Soon, a WeChat notification popped up on his phone.

It was a reply from the deputy department chief. Before he could read the text, a call came in.

“Who is the surgeon for this case?” the agitated voice of the deputy department chief sounded on the phone.

“An emergency department chief resident from Sea City General Hospital,” Professor Tian replied.

“Impossible, the other…” The speaker’s voice died down for a few seconds before asking, “Is the surgeon’s last name Zheng?”

‘Oh? How did the deputy department chief know?’

Question marks appeared on the head of Professor Tian.

“Yes, his name is Zheng Ren.”

“d.a.m.n. Old Tian, that man is a genius. You heard of the lumbar artery embolization surgery, he came up with a novel method for that. It must be him.”

“…”

‘Sounds like he’s quite famous.’

Professor Tian was confused, the man was just a chief resident in a prefecture-level hospital. It was such a lowly rank that Professor Tian would have to bend down with a magnifying gla.s.s to notice.

Professor Tian’s mindset was not unique. As a professor in Imperial Capital, he had to perform three to five surgeries daily and on weekends, he had to travel around the country to a.s.sist in surgeries. Occasionally, he was required to attend academic seminars to boost his reputation.

Even within the field of orthopedics, he had trouble obtaining the latest news. News of interventional radiology-a.s.sisted surgeries were way beyond his reach and focus.

‘Was the young man really that good?’ Professor Tian frowned.

However, most rising stars were found and developed in Imperial Capital or Sorcery Capital.

“Who is this man?” Professor Tian asked.

“There’s too much to say through the phone but mark my words, he’s going to be a future superstar. This surgery was done perfectly!”

Professor Tian considered his friend’s words.

The deputy department chief was likely busy pouring over the scans to notice the sudden silence of his friend.

Professor Tian hung up the phone in frustration. He glanced at the clock, it was almost time to head to the airport.

“Little Zhou,” Professor Tian called out after a moment’s thought.

“Ah? What’s up, Professor Tian?” Dr. Zhou answered.

“Help me keep track of incoming patients with spinal neoplasms. If they’re from the rural area, negotiate for an affordable fee but the prerequisite is Dr. Zheng has to perform the embolization surgery. If you manage to get some patients, inform me earlier and I’ll fly in. I want to observe Dr. Zheng’s method,” Professor Tian instructed.

Without a second thought, Dr. Zhou agreed.

The ulterior motive behind Professor Tian’s words was disregarded. For now, Dr. Zhou would do as the professor says.

…

In the emergency ward, Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolph Wagner were discussing pointers that could be derived from the diffusion-weighted MRI scans of the liver to aid in the TIPS surgery.

Previously, Zheng Ren had discovered the correlation in the System’s training room.

There was a limit to one person’s mind and strength.
