Chapter 482 - Gastroenterology Consultation (1/2)

Slightly speechless, Zheng Ren smiled.

Gao Shaojie was a little embarra.s.sed.

He was in his forties and afraid of being beaten with hemostatic forceps.

This kind of thing had never happened to Gao Shaojie before.

When Gao Shaojie was in school, he had only seen his cla.s.smates being beaten by their teachers. He had always been an excellent student and was skillful with his hands. Therefore, he had never been through any similar experiences.

After all, Gao Shaojie was a straight A’s student.

However, no matter how good of a student he was, he still had to kneel.

Professor Rudolf Wagner was beaten like a dog in the operating theatre…

Although Gao Shaojie was humble and serious, he suddenly s.h.i.+vered at the thought of being beaten by a small doctor with hemostatic forceps in front of his students and colleagues when he returned to the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Medicine.

“I did that at Lil Fugui’s request,” Zheng Ren said with a smile. “As long as you don’t have such a special request, I won’t use the hemostatic forceps that way on you.”

Gao Shaojie carefully observed Zheng Ren’s expression. When he saw that Zheng Ren did not seem to be lying, he was relieved.

“Moreover, TIPS surgery is different from prostate interventional embolization surgery. The former is a brand-new and subversive method of diagnosis and surgery. It tests the ability to combine preoperative screening with intraoperative imaging.

“On the other hand, the prostate interventional embolization surgery tests more on one’s surgical technique.”

At this point, Gao Shaojie suddenly remembered something.

He hesitated for a moment before firmly saying, “Teacher Zheng, do you know that the professor wants to declare the new diagnosis and surgical method for the TIPS surgery for the n.o.bel Prize?”

“I didn’t.” Zheng Ren smiled.

Gao Shaojie really could not see through Zheng Ren.

It was normal that he did not know about such a big thing. However, after hearing what he said, his expression did not change at all. This was far too strange.

“I know that Lil Fugui wants to do something. However, it has nothing to do with me. If he wants to apply for the n.o.bel Prize with the diagnosis and surgical method of the TIPS surgery, he should go ahead with it,” Zheng Ren said with a smile.

“You… Aren’t you worried?” Gao Shaojie did not think there was such a n.o.ble person in the world who did not regard the n.o.bel prize as anything.

“Are you asking me how I feel about my name being used in the research results between the two of them?” Zheng Ren asked.

“Yes.” Gao Shaojie was honest.

“I feel like it doesn’t really matter,” Zheng Ren said. “Even if Lil Fugui doesn’t apply for it, Su Yun will slowly figure it out. As for writing a thesis, he’s much better at it than I am. The thesis has already been mailed out and I’m most probably the first author. The owners.h.i.+p of the innovation of the TIPS surgery should already be settled.

“There are indeed top scholars in the academic world, and their results will be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by others. Moreover, it’s normal to wait for ten to twenty years to apply for the n.o.bel Prize. It seems like no one has won a n.o.bel Prize for a new surgical method in decades.

“Therefore, if Lil Fugui likes it, he should go and do it since he has the connections and all. “This kind of thing is the most energy-consuming. I can’t be bothered with it.”

He did not say much and simply sorted out the misunderstanding to the best of his abilities.

Gao Shaojie sighed. From publis.h.i.+ng his thesis and confirming the matter of first author, to teaching wealthy people to learn prostate surgery so that they could compete for the n.o.bel Prize, Zheng Ren made this sequence of events feel so natural.

Young people really thought things through.

“What I’m concerned about is not the n.o.bel Prize. In the world, there are two hundred million hepat.i.tis-B patients and more than half of them reside in China.” Zheng Ren ignored Gao Shaojie’s sigh as he continued, “Hepat.i.tis-B cirrhosis is much higher than cancer. If I were to win the n.o.bel Prize myself and push it across the country, it would take at least ten years. How many people would die by then?”

Gao Shaojie sobered up at that thought.

“It’s best for a rich and powerful person to do it. I only thought of it after hearing about it from Su Yun these few days.” Zheng Ren smiled. “Teacher Gao, you have to work hard on your end.”

Gao Shaojie quickly nodded.

He knew that this was a great opportunity.

It was not because he wanted a n.o.bel Prize. Gao Shaojie did not have any intentions of getting that kind of award. It was just a faraway dream.

Just the technical status of the Provincial Capital’s Medical Department and the status of the country’s Jianghu. To be one step ahead of others, the benefits were huge. Just thinking about it made Gao Shaojie excited.

“Teacher Zheng, don’t worry,” Gao Shaojie nodded repeatedly and said, “I’ll rush back to the Provincial Capital and comb through the patients again. Those who have problems must not be rushed to the operating table.”

Zheng Ren felt very rea.s.sured talking to Gao Shaojie.

“If there are no problems on that side then I’ll have to ask you to make a trip then.” Gao Shaojie was a little embarra.s.sed.

This kind of thing…

Without the professional consultation fees, Zheng Ren still had to teach him award-winning surgical techniques.

Even Gao Shaojie himself felt that it was unjustifiable.

He was so grateful.
