Chapter 447 - The First TIPS Surgery At Master Level (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Heavy snow swept across the vast expense of the night
The busy day was swept away.
Zheng Ren was alone for a few minutes. He went to check on all the patients before going to the on-duty room to lie down for a bit.
He would sleep for a while if he could. There was still a TIPS surgery tomorrow.
Although Zheng Ren knew that he was already considered a highly-skilled intervention doctor, he still had to carefully prepare for tomorrow’s surgery.
The second half of the night was very quiet. Only a few patients came in intermittently, and their conditions were not serious.
When Zheng Ren woke up early in the morning, he looked at the vast expanse of snow outside the window and felt a sense of satisfaction.
He could sleep for four hours a night in the emergency department. What else could he not be satisfied with?
After he got up and washed up, patients began to come in sporadically.
At around seven o’clock, Zheng Ren was checking in with patients and doing a physical examination when he actually saw Chief Physician Pan walk in.
He quickly finished the examination of the patient at hand, opened the blood test sheet, and sent him away.
“Zheng Ren, were you busy last night?” Chief Physician Pan asked.
“I’m fine.” Zheng Ren smiled. He was especially busy during the day yesterday. However, because of the snow at night, the busy rhythm instantly quieted down.
“Go back and prepare for the surgery.” Chief Physician Pan was essentially kicking Zheng Ren out of the department.
“Today…”
“Chief Xiao has sent a doctor from the Department of Internal Medicine to help us. Your job here is done,” Chief Physician Pan said to him.
It seemed that Chief Physician Pan’s visit to Chief Xiao’s house last night had been fruitful.
However, the Department of Internal Medicine would probably be very angry. After all, all the clinical departments were facing a shortage of manpower.
This was none of Zheng Ren’s concerns.
He bade Chief Physician Pan farewell and left the emergency department. Zheng Ren did not return to the emergency ward. Instead, he went to the operating theater to take a shower.
The scalding hot water pelted at his skin, was.h.i.+ng away all the grime from his body. After taking a shower, Zheng Ren felt much more refreshed.
Zheng Ren did not wear his casual clothes. Instead, he wore an isolation suit and a white coat over it as he went downstairs to sign in for his s.h.i.+ft.
Because of the heavy snow, both doctors and nurses were late. Only Professor Rudolf Wagner arrived at the emergency ward at 7.55am that morning. He was as accurate as a Swiss-made watch.
Gao Shaojie and w.a.n.g Qiang were afraid of being late, so they drove at a slow speed while rus.h.i.+ng to Sea City General Hospital.
The early s.h.i.+ft was canceled. Zheng Ren called Chief Sun and told him to bring the patient to the emergency operating room to prepare for the operation.
When the professor and the others changed their clothes, Chief Sun had already brought the patient over.
When Chief Sun saw Gao Shaojie, he was stunned for a moment. After that, he smiled and asked, “Are you Chief Gao of the Medical University?”
“Yes, have we met before?” Gao Shaojie smiled and asked in a refined manner.
“Last year, the provincial capital held an annual meeting for the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. You expressed your expectations for the interventional treatment of liver cancer there,” Chief Sun said, wondering why Gao Shaojie was here.
The province was very big.
However, to the top medical circles in the Province, they were unaware of all others.
There were about a hundred people in total. Even if they were not familiar with each other, they could still recognize each other when they met. Whether it was the annual meeting, academic meeting, consultation, freelance surgery, or even surgery, there was always a way to get to know each other.
Of course, it was the doctors from lower-level hospitals who took the initiative to get to know the doctors from higher-level ones.
Just like Department Chief Qian and Department Chief Sun, if they came up to Gao Shaojie and said a few words to him, it would be to make an impression on him.
In the future, he would become a good connection for them to get further in life.
“Oh.” Gao Shaojie nodded his head in a reserved manner.
Of course, he would not pay attention to the Chief of Sea City General Hospital’s General Surgery Department. There were more than a hundred people in the annual meeting. For someone of Gao Shaojie’s status, there was no need to get to know him.
Although Chief Sun’s status was a little higher, there was not much of a difference.
