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 Nobel 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 Nobel 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 noble person in the world who did not regard the Nobel 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 ownership 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 snatched away by others. Moreover, it's normal to wait for ten to twenty years to apply for the Nobel Prize. It seems like no one has won a Nobel 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 publishing his thesis and confirming the matter of first author, to teaching wealthy people to learn prostate surgery so that they could compete for the Nobel 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 Nobel Prize. In the world, there are two hundred million hepatitis-B patients and more than half of them reside in China." Zheng Ren ignored Gao Shaojie's sigh as he continued, "Hepatitis-B cirrhosis is much higher than cancer. If I were to win the Nobel 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 Nobel 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 reassured 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 embarrassed.
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.
While they were chatting, Zheng Ren's phone rang.
"Hello, Chief Xia.
"Oh, okay. I'll be there right away."
After a few simple sentences, Zheng Ren hung up the phone.
"Teacher Gao, I still have something to do here so I'll have to end the conversation here. When you're ready, give me a call. If there's nothing important, then I'll be there as soon as possible." After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he exchanged phone numbers with Gao Shaojie and left the changing room.
He had just received a call from Chief Xia of the gastroenterology department. He said that he wanted the emergency department to come over for a consultation.
There was something strange about this. Why would the gastroenterology department want the emergency department to come for a consultation! It was not a TIPS surgery patient.
Chief Xia did not elaborate and said that they were meeting to chat.
Zheng Ren pondered over what might happen as he quickly walked to the gastroenterology department.
Just as he entered, he heard a man's voice coming from the office.
"I've asked the specialists in the Capital Province. This disease needs to be treated in the out-patient department of the hepatobiliary and pancreatic department! The gastroenterology department is for treating the stomach so therefore, if this pancreatic disease isn't cured, don't bully me because I don't know anything about medicine."
Zheng Ren had another headache.
This kind of patient's family was the hardest to deal with.
Generally speaking, there were two types of situations for a patient's family to be able to say such words.
The first was when the patient's family was too concerned about the patient's condition. Before and after the patient was hospitalized, they would rush to the Provincial Capital—or even the Imperial Capital—and Shanghai to find people to inquire about the illness's severity and how to treat it.
However, because most of the patient's family members did not know much about medicine, even if they found someone who understood the situation to inquire about it, they would say the same thing when they came back.
When Zheng Ren was a child in the orphanage, he heard many stories about cases like that. This was probably what they were talking about.
The second was the complete opposite. The patient's family members did not want to spend money. This was especially true for diseases like pancreatitis. Due to the upgrade of somatostatin, there was basically no need for surgery to treat acute pancreatitis anymore.
However, the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis required water fasting, high nutrition in the veins, and daily pumping of somatostatin.
The high cost of treatment was daunting.
Especially for family members of patients who did not earn much, it was even more difficult to bear the treatment costs.
If the middle-and late-stage malignant tumor was a big pit that could never be filled, then the acute pancreatitis pit might be even bigger than the malignant tumor in the short term.
After all, it would take at least tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan to remove it in such a short period of time. In the Northeast, many families could not afford it.
Zheng Ren walked past the doctor's office and saw a young doctor from the gastroenterology department communicating with the patient's family.
After hearing a few words, Zheng Ren had a rough idea in his heart of what was going on.
The patient's family was unwilling to pay the money and found all kinds of reasons to beat around the bush.
"Brother, are you planning to stay at the cashier's office?"
Zheng Ren continued walking forward and went straight to Chief Xia's office. He knocked on the door first before entering.
Chief Xia did not waste time talking nonsense. He began to talk about the patient's condition with shrewdness and skill.
The patient was hospitalized last night because of acute pancreatitis. When he came, he said that his family's financial circ.u.mstances wer
e average, so the gastroenterology department did not give him any expensive drugs.
Somatostatin was a must. There was no doubt about that.
Regarding the other intravenous high-nutrition drugs, he tried to prescribe the cheapest alternatives possible.
One night and he had already spent 3,500 yuan. The patient was now in a state of debt and could not even pay for his somatostatin.
Because the patient's family raised doubts today by saying that the gastroenterology department did not specialize in treating pancreatitis, they said he had to seek treatment from the hepatobiliary and pancreatic department.
The young doctor in the gastroenterology department said, "I'll find you a doctor from the general surgery department then."
Thus, the family became angry.
"I want to find the hepatobiliary and pancreatic department and you want to find me a general surgery department doctor? Are you bullying me because I don't understand all these medical terms?"
No matter how they explained it, the patient's family was stubborn.
Later, Chief Xia had an idea. She remembered that Zheng Ren once performed emergency surgery on a patient with a pseudocyst of the pancreas. She told the patient's family, "I'll find you a doctor from the emergency department. All emergency cases are under their jurisdiction."
The family was a little unhappy but reluctantly agreed.
This was what had happened.
Chapter 483 - Are You Talking About Lian Xiaoliu
"Chief Zheng, I'm sorry." Chief Xia had an apologetic look on her face. She knew that this situation was messy, and she was indeed embarrassed to have to find Zheng Ren to help settle it.
"It's fine." Zheng Ren smiled. "However, I might not be able to solve the problem."
"I know."
As they spoke, the two of them fell silent at the same time.
The sad thing was that this was not happening to a patient who was incurably ill.
Life and death were determined by fate, while wealth and honor were determined by the Heavens. People had seen too many life and death situations, so they did not think too much about literature and art.
The saddest thing was that this was the kind of patient who could obviously be treated but could not afford to do so.
Zheng Ren and Chief Xia both knew that the patient was most likely to be automatically discharged from the hospital and go home to wait for death.
This made people's hearts ache.
"I'll go take a look first." Zheng Ren knew that it would not solve the problem even if he just stared into Chief Xia's eyes here. It was better to see what was going on first. If it really could not be settled, he would inform Chief Xia and leave.
Chief Xia also knew the twists and turns involved regardless of whether he would help or not. Zheng Ren was already being a great help by coming and leaving without giving it a second thought.
The two of them left the Chief's office and entered the doctor's office.
Zheng Ren only heard the voices before but had not actually seen anyone yet. When he walked in, he saw a man with a fierce face. He was half-sitting and half-lying on a chair in such a ruffian manner. A golden chain as thick as a finger hung around his neck, resting on top of his shirt. It was flashy and attention-seeking.
Zheng Ren really wanted to know if he would float when he took a bath with the gold chain.
"This is Chief Zheng from the emergency ward. You can ask him about anything," Chief Xia said while pointing at Zheng Ren, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Chief Zheng? He's so young but is also a chief? Seems like 'chief' is just a useless title given to anyone nowadays." The man with the huge gold chain insulted Zheng Ren while staring at him.
Sigh, people were really different from each other.
Zheng Ren was a little absent-minded. This kind of Ge you paralysis, Su Yun looked very good when she was paralyzed. When this big golden chain was paralyzed, it was like a high-ranking paraplegic.
It was the same with slander.
Seeing that Zheng Ren did not say anything, the man with the gold chain was feeling a little haughty. He thought that it was his imposing presence that had silenced the other party.
"I've consulted an expert about this disease. It seems like there's no cure here in Sea City! Don't try to fool me with your bullsh*t. Do you even know how to treat patients? You only know how to make people spend money! Three to five thousand dollars will be gone in one night. If you delay my old lady's treatment, I'll kill you later!"
"Arguing here won't solve the problem, alright? Why don't we go and see the patient first?" Zheng Ren suggested.
"Hey, have you grown some balls? How dare you talk to me like that! There are only a few people in Sea City who dare to talk to me like that. Do you think you're Master Liu?"
"Master Liu?" Zheng Ren was stunned. "Do you mean Lian Xiaoliu?"
The man coughed and spat on the floor of the office. The muscles on his face seemed to twitch as he emitted a fierce aura.
"You dare to even say Master Liu's name in such a manner?" The man was extremely fierce and oppressive.
Chief Xia was shocked. It was the most annoying thing to deal with these types of people in society.
Each and every one of them was rude. It was as if Sea City General Hospital was owned by his family. Furthermore, their clothes were not cheap. However, once they were asked to pay up, not only would they refuse, they would often start all kinds of arguments.
They had free time on their hands so they had time to argue. However, what doctor would have time to argue back with them?
"What's your surname?" Zheng Ren's expression was a little strange. He seemed to ask this question in a polite manner.
The man was even more pleased. "I'm Li San from the Jianhua Factory. Who doesn't know me?"
Zheng Ren took out his phone and found a number to call.
"Brother Liu, there's... It's a little troublesome here. A patient's family member is causing trouble here.
"There's no need for you to come. It's a small matter.
"Oh, okay then. He said he's Li... Li San from the Jianhua Factory, am I right?" Zheng Ren looked at the man wearing the gold chain and asked.
He was stunned for a moment and nodded absentmindedly.
"Yes, Li San from the Jianhua Factory," Zheng Ren said.
"You don't know him either. Okay then."
Zheng Ren immediately hung up the call.
"Mr. Li, Lian Xiaoliu said he doesn't know you," Zheng Ren said in a very serious manner. "The hospital is not a place to talk about money. Let's go see the patient first before working out a treatment plan that can save money and also treat the disease. What do you think?"
The man was stunned.
How did the infamous Master Liu become Lian Xiaoliu in the mouth of this young doctor?
He did not seem to have any respect when he was talking to him.
This was most probably an act!
The man immediately felt that he had discovered the truth. However… He was not too sure.
At that moment, his arrogance disappeared without a trace. He frowned and decided to be cautious for the time being. He did not want to risk offending this person.
What if he really knew him...
He stood up and carefully tidied up his black sable coat. He carried his bag and walked out of the office horizontally. (Note 1)
Zheng Ren shook his head. Just as he was about to follow him out, Chief Xia grabbed Zheng Ren and asked in a low voice, "Chief Zheng, do you know Lian Xiaoliu?"
"He's alright. We don't have a close relationship. He owns a skewer place."
Chief Xia was stunned for a moment.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-surgeon's-studio_16489637605120805/are-you-talking-about-lian-xiaoliu_50182145389428599 for visiting.
If they could eat together, what kind of
relationship did they have?
After that, Chief Xia brought the attending doctor and Zheng Ren to the resuscitation room. The bed doctor held a medical record holder in his hand and stood at the end of the bed. He began to report his medical history, as well as the treatment done for the entire night and the test this morning.
The patient had recovered pretty well. However, she felt a little uncomfortable with the gastric tube. With the water fasting, the old lady felt very hungry and could not stand it.
Additionally, the pain of severe pancreatitis had been alleviated. There was tenderness in the abdomen, rebound pain, and muscle tension.
The treatment was very effective and did not cost much. Zheng Ren really did not know what the man had been going on about earlier.
Zheng Ren comforted the patient with a pleasant look and told her that the stomach tube and water fasting could not be done without for the time being. They had to pass the test before it could be removed.
However, the treatment seemed quite effective now. Zheng Ren emphasized this point to reassure her.
The patient was very happy. However, when he looked at the man wearing the gold chain, his eyes there was a slightly fearful look in them as they flickered.
When he left the ward, the man followed him.
He had a bag under his arm and was walking unsteadily. The gastroenterology department's corridor was full of extra beds. It was a tight squeeze for him.
After taking a few steps, a few people appeared at the door. They saw them enter the office from afar.
The expression on the man's face changed.
"I'm going back to take care of my mother. I'm telling you, I'm delaying the treatment..."
While he spoke, a few people came out of the office and saw Zheng Ren from afar.
They walked quickly through the crowd in the corridor. The person in front bowed deeply to Zheng Ren first. "Hello, Chief Zheng."
Zheng Ren was shocked. His brain was working fast, trying to find out who this person was from his memory.
"Master Liu asked me to come. He said that Li San was causing trouble." That person then stood up straight and glared at the confused Li San behind Zheng Ren. He berated him, "Li San, you've finally appeared!"
