Dr. Zhou was completely stunned. The professor's criticism just now made him feel very uneasy.
The professor was right. This kind of disease was uncommon, but he himself was quite clear about it.
However, in the end, he actually let the emergency department's Chief Resident solve the problem. Should he not reflect on it himself?
"Parathyroid adenoma will absorb the calcium in the bones and be expelled through the patient's urine. As the calcium is drained, the bones become very fragile. In the end, if you sneeze, your whole body will be fractured. After some time, your height may decrease. This is because the bones can no longer support the muscles and are deformed by their pressure. Currently, the patient does not have symptoms of low blood calcium, but..."
As he said this, Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment.
The patient's family was anxious and immediately asked, "Chief Zheng, what's next?"
"Surgery is required and I can definitely do it without any issues. However, the actual key to treating this disease is the endocrine treatment post-surgery. The surgery is actually secondary," Zheng Ren said. "Because it's a rare disease, I suggest you go to the Capital for surgery. Tell the doctors in the Capital about my diagnosis and opinion."
"Su Yun!" Zheng Ren saw the confused look on the family members' faces and knew that they did not know which doctor to look for in the Capital.
Zheng Ren was also afraid that something would go wrong. Although the patient did not have a tumor, it was a very troublesome disease.
"Boss, you're not making me save face for you again, right?" Su Yun immediately complained as he took out his phone.
"Chief Wang, this is Su Yun.
"When will you be at Straits Hospital?
"Oh, it's fine if you don't leave yet. Boss Zheng has diagnosed a patient with parathyroid adenoma. We can't really treat it properly with our resources and the patient…
"Alright, at least you're sensible. We'll go over in a few days' time and treat you to a meal." After saying that, Su Yun hung up the call.
He wrote a name and a phone number on the paper, as well as the ultrasound numbers.
"Go to the Capital and find this person. Quickly go and get her admitted to the hospital," Su Yun said.
Chapter 530 - Reading A Book Is Still Useful
The patient and her family left pleasantly surprised, but Dr. Zhou did not leave after them.
When the emergency ward was quiet, Dr. Zhou said with some shame, "Chief Zheng, your diagnostic standards are really high!"
Zheng Ren smiled and did not bother saying thanks.
This time, Zheng Ren did not see the patient and gave the diagnosis first. The accuracy was 80%. When he saw the patient, the system panel indicated that the disease matched his diagnosis, so he became even more confident.
It was the easiest to follow the clues left by the body.
The ultrasound was only the final diagnosis. The clinical evidence was used to convince the patient and everyone else.
Zheng Ren was still very satisfied with this outcome.
"Boss is definitely the best. Do you even need to say anything more?" Professor Rudolf Wagner said from the side.
Zheng Ren felt a little strange. The professor had wanted to learn prostate interventional embolization in the past. He still felt the professor's d.e.s.i.r.e, but he knew that it was not as strong as before.
"Chief Zheng, do you have...a diagnosis book? Can you lend it to me?" Dr. Zhou asked.
Zheng Ren then understood why Dr. Zhou had stayed back.
"Brother Zhou, there's no book," Zheng Ren said. "Read more periodicals and magazines. When you encounter something interesting, you should read up more about it."
Dr. Zhou felt a bit regretful but he knew that Zheng Ren was telling the truth. After chatting for a short while, he left.
"Lil Fugui, why do I feel like you've become a different person recently?" Zheng Ren asked the professor.
"Is that so? Maybe it's because I like this place more and more lately and can't bear to leave it?" The professor pretended to be confused.
"Lil Fugui, the boss is pretending to be stupid but actually isn't. You don't want the boss to be an idiot, right?" Su Yun, who was at the side, did not give the professor any face since Zheng Ren's words were quite straight to the point.
The professor smiled embarrassedly. Under his long golden hair, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have loosened a little.
"Boss, I recalled the surgery process and feel that my probability of successfully pulling it off is not as high as you," Professor Rudolf Wagner told him the truth. "I'll go back and try it out on other patients. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to step in for Dr. Mehar's surgery. Although it's far away, but..."
Zheng Ren nodded and said, "Just contact me then."
Professor Rudolf Wagner did not expect Zheng Ren to agree so quickly. He had prepared a lot of excuses but it seemed like he did not even need them now.
"Lil Fugui, the boss usually has a short fuse so don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and pack up to prepare to go back to Heidelberg," said Su Yun. "By the way, if you invite the boss to Heidelberg, remember to book a flight ticket for me as well. And... Boss, do you want to bring your girl as well?"
Zheng Ren glared at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Su Yun was full of confidence. "Most men don't want to take their wives on business trips but you're different so isn't it right to ask?"
Zheng Ren was defeated by him.
Hearing Su Yun say the word 'wife', Zheng Ren felt joy, sweetness, and even a hint of shyness in his heart.
In the midst of his awkwardness, a WeChat notification rang from his phone.
Zheng Ren quickly picked up his phone and opened the message. It was from Chief Kong.
He had already booked a plane ticket for tomorrow morning's flight.
Zheng Ren contacted Feng Xuhui. Tomorrow morning, he would drive Zheng Ren to the airport to be picked up by Chief Kong at the other side.
After all of that was done, Su Yun invited him for food but Zheng Ren rejected his invitation.
For Zheng Ren he did not care about food as long as he was not hungry. However, eating with Xie Yiren was an exception.
After everyone left, Zheng Ren went to make his ward rounds. Ji Fei'er had nothing to do after the surgery and was chatting and laughing with her young boyfriend.
When they saw him, her boyfriend chatted with Zheng Ren enthusiastically.
His name was Li Sheng and he was from the South. He had known Ji Fei'er from their university years until now. Zheng Ren felt a little envious when he thought about their relationship.
The family expressed their gratitude to Zheng Ren. Zheng Ren smiled and forgot about it all as soon as he turned around.
Gratitude was not important to Zheng Ren. Instead of helping each other, it was better to forget.
Everyone was doing well. That was the most important.
When he returned to his office, Zheng Ren found a sunny spot. He held a surgery journal in his hand and entered the System's space to read various doc.u.ments in the Library.
Today's cases seemed to be rarer and rarer, so it was especially easy to misdiagnose the diseases.
Zheng Ren himself had been reading a lot recently. Although he did not realize what the disease was in an instant, he had eventually come to the right diagnosis.
This gave Zheng Ren more motivation to read up about these sorts of things.
It was still useful to read difficult material as it would help his skill points to grow. He wanted to encounter more rare diseases. This was to make sure that once the System went away one day, he would not be pushed off the peak and unable to climb back up again.
For Zheng Ren, reading and studying were things he could enjoy.
The winter sun was warm. Zheng Ren could feel the warmth in the System's space.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-studio_%!d(string=16489637605120805)/reading-a-book-is-still-useful_%!d(string=50350435361411434) for visiting.
After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Ren heard a knock on the door and exited the System.
An elderly man stood at the door. His back was slightly hunched and his face was as wrinkled as a mountain.
"Old man, who are you looking for?" Zheng Ren quickly stood up and asked.
"Young man, I'm looking for Chief Doctor Zheng," the old man said.
Zheng Ren's mind wandered for half a second. He immediately realized that the doctor from the emergency department must have asked him to look for Chief Zheng and it took some time for him to register the new name he had been given.
This was just a small misunderstanding. There was no problem with that.
The System panel on the upper right side of his vision marked the old man's illness as fulva acute cholecystitis.
The illness was also minor, without any serious complications.
Zheng Ren brought the old man to the treatment room for a physical examination.
As he carried out the physical examination, Zheng Ren asked, "Old man, where is your family?"
"They're not here. I came alone." The old man seemed a little sad, the wrinkles on his face instantly deepening.
Zheng Ren did not say anything. After the physical examination, he looked at the report in the old man's hand and compared it with the System's diagnosis. He confirmed that it was an acute cholecystitis.
The tenderness in the upper right abdomen was very obvious. It was accompanied by rebound pain and no muscle tension.
It could be treated with surgery.
However, he had no family members with him. This made things a little difficult for him.
He had to remove the gallbladder. The patient would need someone to accompany him after the surgery. However, in the current situation...
However, since he was sick and needed surgery to treat it, he had to admit him to the hospital first.
Zheng Ren could not bear to let a sick old man run around. He arranged for the old man to be placed in the ward. After asking him more information about the situation, he then handed him the admission form.
When he heard Zheng Ren asking if he had money, the old man took out a bag from his pants. It was a blue floral cloth that had already faded into white.
He held the blue bag and said, "Chief Zheng, I have money. Please operate on me."
Zheng Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at the old man like this, he felt like he was committing daylight robbery.
However, Zheng Ren did not care. The old man was wary of him. To put it bluntly, it was not a big deal.
People who believed the smile of strangers were the ones who could not survive in society.
Zheng Ren said, "Old man, I'll write the admission form for you later. Do you need me to help you pay for it?"
The old man looked at Zheng Ren warily. The veins on his hand that was holding the blue cloth were protruding from his skin.
Chapter 531 - Who Would Be Better At A Painless Abortion
Zheng Ren could not force this kind of thing.
Zheng Ren sighed as he handed the hospital admission form to the patient. He wanted to return to the office but was worried that something might happen to the old man. As such, he could only find a wheelchair, inform the nurse, and push him to the counter to pay the hospital deposit.
"Chief Doctor Zheng, you're such a nice person," the old man said.
"Old man, my name is Zheng Ren. I'm the emergency department's chief resident. The other doctors call me Chief Zheng," Zheng Ren explained patiently.
"Oh, I see." The old man continued, "Nowadays, there aren't many doctors like you."
"I don't think so," Zheng Ren said. "Most doctors are similar to me, old man."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-studio_%!d(string=16489637605120805)/who-would-be-better-at-a-painless-abortion_%!d(string=50350436972024194) for visiting.
Zheng Ren wanted to ask the old man where his family was. Judging from his expression and tone beforehand, he did not look like a widower or a lonely old man.
However, when the words were about to spill from his mouth, Zheng Ren swallowed them back.
The issue of the signature needed for surgery would be difficult to deal with in this situation. He needed to find the medical office to solve this problem.
If it was not absolutely necessary, no clinician would be willing to deal with a situation like this at the medical office.
However, the emergency department and the ICU were the two departments that dealt with the medical office the most. Zheng Ren wanted to avoid them, but he could not.
The two of them chatted and paid for the admission fee. Zheng Ren then pushed the old man back to the ward.
When they reached the ward, everyone who went out to eat lunch had already returned.
Su Yun saw Zheng Ren pushing a patient back. The patient did not seem to be in a hurry, so he tossed a casual remark at him, "Boss, did you help an old man cross the road?"
"It's a new patient," Zheng Ren said. "Is there anyone who can help take the patient to the wards?"
"Yang Lei, the boss is looking for you," Su Yun said casually.
This guy seemed to be careless but nothing could be hidden from him. Zheng Ren smiled and handed the patient to Yang Lei. He said, "The patient has just eaten. In five hours, he should be able to go through the surgery."
Yang Lei nodded and pushed the patient to the ward.
Zheng Ren said, "Su Yun, you and Yang Lei will do the surgery later."
"Boss, are you really not going to participate in the gallbladder surgery now?" Su Yun asked.
"Shouldn't your presence there be more than enough?" Zheng Ren said the truth but somehow, it did not make Su Yun happy to hear it.
However, he did not say anything. He moved closer to Zheng Ren's ear and whispered, "Boss, the girl who thought she was pregnant seems to have recovered."
"Oh?" Zheng Ren had not gone back to see her. When he saw Su Yun's expression, he guessed that he had gone to take a look. He then asked, "Is she not nauseous or vomiting?"
"Yes, she has recovered. She said that you're so good in bed, so her abortion didn't hurt at all." Su Yun blinked, practically grinning. "Boss, you're amazing. Who else would be better at performing a painless abortion..."
"Don't be ridiculous," Zheng Ren reprimanded him.
It was already late and the day had not been easy either.
The emergency department's daily routine and the slow-motion surgery had already made Zheng Ren feel that he was very busy.
Fortunately for him, Su Yun was there. What he had said earlier about him being reliable was the truth.
Zheng Ren turned around and sat in a daze on the chair. He was thinking about Crown Jewel's ultimate mission.
There were a few more patients at the Secondary Hospital. This was a good thing. The mission's progress bar could still be progressed. He did not know how the patients Gao Shaojie had taken in were doing or if they could be done on the same day as the second-stage surgery.
If they could, then they would not have to travel to the Provincial Capital so often.
Just as he was thinking about this, Zheng Ren heard a loud 'clang'. The office door was kicked against the wall.
Zheng Ren frowned and looked up toward the sound.
A middle-aged man around his thirties to forties glared at Chang Yue who was sitting at the door and shouted, "Who told you to admit my father into the hospital?"
Chang Yue was stunned. Seeing the fierce look on the man's face, she was a little afraid.
However, before she could say or do anything, a black shadow nimbly appeared in front of her, blocking her from sight.
"Who ar
e you!" Su Yun shouted.
"Why do you care who I am!" The middle-aged man pointed at Su Yun and scolded him, "You little bastard, get out of my way! If you continue to be an eyesore, I'll kill you!"
"Come on then!" Su Yun took a step forward, almost face to face with the middle-aged man. "I'd like to see you try."
Zheng Ren immediately went to separate the two of them. If they were to fight... Zheng Ren was not worried that Su Yun would be at a disadvantage. This fellow was very skilled.
He was worried that if Su Yun touched the person, the middle-aged man would probably be lying on the ground for the entire day.
He did not even need to bother.
"Are you Xu Guangcai's family member?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Who are you?"
"I'm in charge here. Let me tell you, if you cause trouble in public, I'll be forced to call the cops," Zheng Ren said seriously.
"Oh, come and detain me then!" The middle-aged man tried to egg him on as he looked at Zheng Ren provocatively.
"I'm not trying to cause trouble." Zheng Ren was very patient. He used his shoulder to block half of Su Yun's body. He was afraid that Su Yun would get hot-blooded and cause trouble.
There had been enough trouble recently. He did not have time to deal with this scoundrel.
"Is Xu Guangcai your father?" Zheng Ren asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, why did you admit my father into the hospital?" the middle-aged man asked bossily.
Zheng Ren guessed something was wrong from the old man's expressions and actions previously, further enforced by how the young man was acting now.
"I did. If you are going to bring the old man back, you can," Zheng Ren said. "But when I asked, the old man said that he has no relatives."
"Who said that?! I'm his son!" the middle-aged man said sternly. "F*ck, does he think he has enough money to be admitted into a hospital even in such a small town? He went to Sea City to be hospitalized. It costs a thousand and eight hundred yuan a day to be admitted here. You guys must be practically rolling in cash."
