Chapter 717 - Hotline For Relatives And Friends
"Yes, there's the number 1329 at the top right of the medical record," Chief Li said in a deep voice. "Is there a problem?" Zheng Ren asked. This... He had countless questions, but Zheng Ren asked so directly. He was way too straightforward. Chief Li did not know how to answer for a moment. He composed himself and immediately said, "I have three radiographic films in my hands. I can see the existence of four groups of capillaries." There was no need to exchange pleasantries. He would just skip straight to the point. "There are a total of seven groups of capillaries. The position at the far end of the capillaries has not expanded significantly due to insufficient observation time after thrombectomy. However, the radiographic films can provide evidence." Zheng Ren's voice was a little tired but still very firm. Chief Li was silent. There were seven groups of capillaries? "Chief Li, please place the first radiographic films on the radiographic film viewer." Zheng Ren seemed to have guessed that Chief Li did not understand. Chief Li was a little absent-minded but still inserted the radiographic films into the radiographic film viewer according to Zheng Ren's instructions on the other side of the call. "Chief Li, are you calling the hotline for relatives and friends to ask for help?" The chief of the orthopedics department had just finished brushing his hands and came back to disinfect and put on his clothes. When he saw that Chief Li was looking at the radiographic films while holding the phone, he teased him. Everyone was on the verge of breaking down after performing so many surgeries. They joked a little to make the atmosphere there a little more relaxed. However, Chief Li did not hear him at all. He had his back facing the operating table and was focused on looking at the radiographic films. "Doctor Zheng, the position of the upper and lower-left corner of the radiographic films—" Chief Li voiced out the question in his heart. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zheng Ren on the other end of the phone. "That position was specially made by me. The third branch of the anterior tibial artery is relatively thin so it's easy to overlook it. This position can not be seen on a normal silhouette. During normal surgeries, the position of this blood vessel may be directly cut off." Chief Li stared unblinkingly at the silhouette on the radiographic film viewer. With just one sentence, he had an epiphany. "Lead the orthopedic surgeon. This is not something that can be covered by local anatomy. Every person's capillary vessel branches are different so it shows the value of an interventional surgeon." "Yes, yes. Please continue." Chief Li's tone subconsciously became much more respectful. "Take a look at the first quadrant of the first radiographic films. There is a blood vessel there. It is the eighth branch of the popliteal artery. If we were to remove the bone, the orthopedic department would not preserve this blood vessel." The words were not very pleasant to hear but they were the truth. Orthopedics surgery was also known as carpentry. They were allowed to could cut, chisel, and saw everything. Moreover, no one would be so meticulous in a destructive surgery like an amputation. However, Zheng Ren did not want this to happen. He wanted to be as meticulous as possible. It would be of great help to the patient's postoperative recovery and the installation of prosthetic limbs. Chief Li smiled. He felt that Doctor Zheng was a really practical person. However, he could not let the orthopedics department's doctor hear this. "This blood vessel only has a faint image because the blood pressure of the injured is relatively low after the thrombus has been removed. The capillary blood supply has not fully recovered. Time was of the essence so we only waited on the stage for ten minutes before we started the angiography "The scope of this blood vessel can be preserved completely... In other words, the position of the amputee can be moved down about 1.3cm. The skin flap will definitely not have any problems. Please rest assured." Chief Li was silent. If it were not for Zheng Ren's reminder, he definitely would not have noticed that faint blood vessel. Even if he had noticed it, he would not be sure that it was fine. However... "Doctor Zheng, are you sure that the capillaries near this blood vessel can be opened?" Chief Li asked hesitantly. "I'm sure." Zheng Ren's voice came from the other end of the phone, very determined. It was not as ambiguous as the usual doctor's words. "Ten minutes ago, this blood vessel could not be seen. However, ten minutes after the embolus was taken out, the image could be seen. This means that the embolus did not last long, so... "Look at the third quadrant of the second radiographic films. There is a blood vessel in the lower-left silhouette. If you compare it with the first radiographic films, it is very easy to see the extension of the capillaries." Chief Li carefully compared the two radiographic films. Under Zheng Ren's guidance, he discovered the changes in the blood vessels. He looked at the time on the radiographic films and found that the two radiographic films were separated by 52 seconds. Although the changes in the capillaries were not obvious, it was already very gratifying that there were changes in such a short period of time. "Hey, Old Li, I'm about to make a move. Do you have anything to say?" Chief Sui asked. "Wait a minute. I'll be there in three minutes." Chief Li seized the time to ask. He looked at the three radiographic films from the beginning again. According to what the surgeon said, the information that these three radiographic films brought to him could be said to be a sea of information. So that was what the radiographic films he made were about! Chief Li quickly figured it out. However, figuring it out and being able to grasp such a huge amount of information in a short period of time—identifying the useful and useless capillaries—were two different things. However, it was fine as long as they did their best. "Doctor Zheng, our surgery has already begun. I'll keep in touch. If I have any questions, I will give you a call to consult," Chief Li said very politely. "Alright, thank you for your hard work," Zheng Ren said. Hard work... He was a local doctor yet he was being told 'good luck' by a doctor from outside... Chief Li's mood was a little strange. However, all the unrelated emotions had to be put aside. All his attention had to be placed on the wounded. Chief Li took one last look at the radiographic films. He turned around and walked behind the surgeon as he began to communicate with Chief Sui. .. Zheng Ren sat in front of the operating table. He was about to fall asleep. His lips were dry and chapped like the riverbed during a drought. "Doctor Zheng, have some food and rest." Chief Jiang walked in with a plate of covered rice and blocked Zheng Ren's way to the operating theater. He was very determined this time. He had to let Doctor Zheng have some food. He had not eaten a hot meal for a few days and nights. Who would be able to endure doing surgery while wearing lead clothing in such a condition? Zheng Ren glanced at him, took off his sterile mask, and grinned. Before his expression could surface, the square muscle on his lower lip moved and pulled on the bruised wound. It caused a heart-wrenching pain to shoot through him. "I can't open my mouth. Forget it," Zheng Ren said with narrowed eyes. Chief Jiang did not speak. He only used his body language to express his dissatisfaction with Zheng Ren. Helpless, Zheng Ren could only take the rice from Chief Jiang and uncover it. He lay on the table and almost fell asleep. He struggled and tried not to fall asleep. He picked up his chopsticks and tried hard to feed himself. Usually, he was not willing to eat. Now that his hormone level was high, he could not feel hunger at all. Zheng Ren ate as if he was taking medicine. "Boss, the way you eat is exactly the same as the search and rescue dogs that went to Nanchuan Town," Su Yun said loudly. He had just walked in and saw Zheng Ren eating with his head down.
Chapter 718 - The Number, Was My Father's
Silent, Zheng Ren did not even look at him and continued eating. "Could the other side understand you?" Su Yun asked without making any sense. "It wasn't a problem," Zheng Ren said vaguely. He could not open his mouth to begin with since it was stuffed with food. His voice was like dough, sounding muffled. "After the thrombectomy, the blood vessels are smoother. Even if some of the capillaries are cut off, it won't hurt the overall situation. If someone follows, the surgical progress will be higher. If there's no one, it won't have much of an impact." "Boss, don't fall asleep just like that." Su Yun's topic could change at any time and place. H
e was like an antelope hanging its horns, untraceable. "There's food in your mouth. If you fall asleep and accidentally breathe in, you'll have to be resuscitated. Even if the resuscitation is successful, the rice grains will enter your respiratory tract and cause a large area of infection in your lungs..." "You should just say something nice." Zheng Ren lowered his head and ate the fragrant rice. It was very difficult. With his current state, he could not understand how delicious the food was. "Nice. There are a few more patients with pelvic fractures and retroperitoneal hematoma. Do you want to do it together or throw it to Mu Tao?" "Let's do it together. Pelvic fractures are more urgent." Zheng Ren endured the pain from the bruise on the corner of his mouth. He stuffed the food into his mouth and swallowed quickly. "Don't you enjoy delicious food? The rice that Chief Jiang brought looks ordinary but it's actually very special," Su Yun said with a mocking expression at the corner of his mouth. "Generally, I don't feel anything. As long as I can eat my fill, that's enough," Zheng Ren said. "Surgery after surgery. There's also surgery to remove the suppository. After I'm done, I'll bring the injured with pelvic fractures up." "There aren't many patients with severe pelvic fractures now, boss," Su Yun suddenly said. "Well, it's good that there aren't many," Zheng Ren said perfunctorily. He did not know if he understood the meaning behind Su Yun's words. "Doctor Zheng, make sure to drink some water so everything goes down smoothly." Chief Jiang thoughtfully took a bottle of purified water and handed it to Zheng Ren. After Zheng Ren unscrewed it, he took a small sip and put the water bottle down on the operating table. Zheng Ren did not dare to drink too much water. If he drank too much, he would have to go to the washroom. It was extremely annoying to delay surgery for one or two minutes at a time. They were all doctors who performed surgeries. How could Chief Jiang not know what Zheng Ren meant? He saw Zheng Ren enter the operating theater and sighed softly. .. .. Xie Yiren drove to the Imperial Capital Hospital. In a few days, she had already familiarized herself with the place. However, no matter how familiar she was with this place, the absence of that figure would never give Xie Yiren a sense of belonging. Her heart felt empty and uncomfortable. Xie Yiren's daily routine was surgery. After the surgery, she held her cell phone and browsed through the news and videos of the earthquake relief on various major video websites, trying to find that familiar figure. However, she was disappointed every time. That familiar figure was like a fleeting glimpse. He only showed her head in the news on the first day before disappearing without a trace. Although she could not find it, she still went home every day and curled up on the sofa, hugging her iPad and looking around randomly. Chang Yue was calmer than Xie Yiren. She also had more work than Xie Yiren. Professor Rudolf Wagner's surgery was very fast. With the addition of the new surgical method, the side injuries were especially small. The postoperative effect was good, so the patient flow was very fast. The professor had completed more than ten TIPS surgeries in a short period of time. When the patients left the stage, Chang Yue was in charge of all the miscellaneous matters and records. Moreover, there were also corresponding data to be recorded. It required much more procedures and work compared to ordinary patients. Early in the morning, the two of them got up with dark circles under their eyes. Xie Yiren wanted to make breakfast. However, Chang Yue did not let her. After a simple wash-up, she pulled Xie Yiren and bought two egg pancakes from the breakfast shop at the entrance of the residential area as she casually took a bite. Recently, Xie Yiren had been absent-mindedly making food. She either forgot to put salt in it or put it in it two or three times. In short, it was basically inedible. After fooling around for a while, Xie Yiren drove to the Imperial Capital Hospital. The two of them got out of the car and went upstairs. They met Professor Rudolf Wagner, who was practically glowing. He did not know how long he had waited. When he saw the two of them walking over, he went up to them happily. "Guess who called me yesterday?" The professor held up his phone, his golden hair dancing in the wind. He had not washed his hair for a few days. His long golden hair was tied in a braid, making it seem very glossy. "It can't be those two, right?" Chang Yue pretended not to care and adjusted her glasses. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes. Why would those two call the professor first? Shouldn't they call Xie Yiren and herself to report their safety? The professor did not understand these details. In his opinion, the boss being alive was the happiest thing in the world. Before he could show off, the phone was snatched by Xie Yiren. "Where's the phone?" Xie Yiren did not have her previous calmness and reservedness, going straight to the point. "Here, here." Professor Rudolf Wagner unlocked the phone and opened it to find the call record. He pointed at a number with his finger that was as thick as a carrot and said happily. Xie Yiren was stunned. This number... Why did it look so familiar? She confirmed it a few times in disbelief, taking out her phone to confirm it one last time before returning the professor's phone to him. "What's wrong, Yiren?" Chang Yue saw that Xie Yiren's expression was not right so she immediately asked with concern. "This number is my father's." Xie Yiren picked up her cell phone and made a call. She had to call her parents every day but most of the time, she would call her mother. Since the two of them were together, it usually didn't matter who she called. These few days, Xie Yiren felt like she was sleepwalking so she did not contact her parents. She never expected that Zheng Ren would use her father's phone to contact Lil Fugui. What exactly happened? The phone rang and not long after, the call was answered. "Yiren, what's the matter?" Xie Ning's voice was gentle and warm, making people feel at ease. "Dad, you went to the frontline?" Xie Yiren asked. Xie Ning was very clear-headed. No matter what time it was, he was the same. After a little doubt, she immediately knew the whole story. "Yes, I even met your little boyfriend," Xie Ning said with a smile. Silent, Xie Yiren's hands were a little shaky. Xie Yiren had thought about it countless times in her mind about when they would make the big break to her parents. However, she did not expect that she would not even be around when the two of them would meet for the first time. This was too ridiculous. That fellow Zheng Ren... Would he do something stupid... "He went to the frontline. Two days ago, the main force drove in and came down with the injured." Xie Ning briefly reported that he was safe. "He's fine. He's pretty good." "Mm." Xie Yiren's voice was like a mosquito, almost inaudible. "Continue to work well at home. This side is already full. There's no shortage of people or lack of equipment." Xie Ning seemed to have guessed what Xie Yiren was thinking and directly extinguished her desperate path to the frontline. "He must be working hard." "He's alright. He just had his meal and is undergoing surgery." "Take care of yourself." "Got it." After hanging up the phone, Xie Ning shook her head slightly. This girl... She only asked Zheng Ren if he was working hard. What about her own father? Xie Yiren put down the phone, bit on her hairband, and tied up her hair with both hands. Chang Yue felt something was wrong and asked, "Yiren, what are you doing?" "I'm going to the frontline." Xie Yiren's voice was not loud, but it was firm.
Chapter 719 - Acute Myocardial Infarction
Chang Yue was shocked but knew that Little Yiren's personality was soft on the outside but firm on the inside. Since she had made up her mind, it was useless no matter how she tried to persuade her. Professor Rudolf Wagner was stunned. He had no idea what Xie Yiren was doing. He was just showing off that the boss had called him and now the lady boss was going to go thousands of kilometers away to teach the boss a lesson? Oh my God, women were really too scary. The professor looked at Xie Yiren with admiration. He wanted to say something but he didn't know what to say. "You can't just leave like this." Chang Yue thought for a moment and said, "The conditions at the frontline are tough but you can't be like those stinky men and not even bringing a change of clothes. Also, you have to prepare some daily necessities. Don't be in a hurry. It won't take more than a few hours." A familiar smile appeared on Xie Yiren's face again as she nodded. Since she had caught Zheng Ren, Xie Yiren felt that her days had returned to normal. It was her duty to pack some things. She would not rush to the frontline without even
bringing a bottle of water. Chang Yue took a leave of absence and went home with Xie Yiren to pack her things, leaving Professor Rudolf Wagner alone in the ward as a mess. .. .. Zheng Ren continued to perform surgery. He was not bored. He did not even feel tired. It was like he was training in the System space. The only thing that changed was that his surgical technique was getting better and better. At the end of the rope, this guy raised a ladder again and climbed into the endless void. "Next!" Zheng Ren shouted loudly after he finished one patient. "Coming, coming!" A roar came from the corridor of the operating theater. Only after the surgery was completed did he have this privilege. Usually, when Chief Jiang communicated with other people, he tried to be as quiet as possible. He did not dare to shout at the top of his lungs for fear of disturbing the surgery. This kind of roar was like a war horn, the sound of the drums of victory. It struck the hearts of people, creating multiple ripples. Zheng Ren rarely slept. To be precise, after coming down from the frontlines, he did not sleep for more than ten minutes. He was very tired but could no longer feel it. Every corner of his body was piled up with all kinds of endorphins, dopamine, epinephrine, lactic acid, and so on. The patient was carried onto the stretcher trolley by a few young doctors. Chief Jiang's voice came from the door. "Slow down, make way. Let the stretcher inside come out first before you push this patient in." Zheng Ren seemed to see a touch of red from the corner of his eye. He was a little stunned. The patient in the operating theater was shown in a bright red on the System panel. This was understandable. The patient who was about to be pushed in was also shown with bright red background. However, Zheng Ren's keen senses had noticed that the red spot did not seem to be right. He raised his head and saw that Chief Jiang's background on the System panel was red! Acute myocardial infarction! Zheng Ren frowned and said calmly, "Chief Jiang, don't move!" "Huh?" Chief Jiang did not realize what was going on, to busy with work. He was stunned. Zheng Ren asked him not to move? What was he going to do? "Put the injured aside first and speed up the blood transfusion. Give me ten minutes," Zheng Ren said. So that was the case. Chief Jiang's heart was clear. Doctor Zheng was tired. For nearly three days and three nights, he had been carrying out the surgery in lead-lined clothes. Who wouldn't be tired? Doctor Zheng's assistant wanted to replace him several times but was constantly rejected. Doctor Zheng only used his actions to express his thoughts. Sleep for a while. Don't be too tired. Chief Jiang was especially afraid that Zheng Ren would faint from exhaustion and suddenly die. It was indeed possible for such a situation to occur when he was extremely tired. There were at least dozens of doctors who died suddenly every year in the country. Moreover, the intensity of their work could not be compared to the current situation. Although the injuries of the injured were serious, if they were to speed up the blood transfusion and endure for a few hours, there would not be any irreversible changes in their condition. Chief Jiang immediately said, "Xiao Liu, push the injured to the side first. Put them on ECG monitoring. You are in charge of monitoring. If there are any abnormalities, let me know immediately." "Doctor Zheng, you should go to the duty room and sleep for a while. It's not good to rest here." Zheng Ren frowned as he looked at Chief Jiang. The background color shown on the system panel was already very red. Normally, there should be complications such as pain in the anterior cardiac region, c.h.e.s.t tightness, shortness of breath, and so on. However, Chief Jiang was completely fine... Strange. Could it be that the System was exhausted? A strange thought flashed through Zheng Ren's mind. No way! After the earthquake relief, the relationship between Zheng Ren and hoof the pig had become closer. Although System did not issue any missions, Zheng Ren had solved many problems with the System's diagnosis. Unlike in Sea City General Hospital where there were time and the proper facilities, Zheng Ren had to confirm the System's diagnosis with a physical and supplementary examination. However, there was no chance at the frontline. Zheng Ren could only choose to believe it unconditionally. The System had not betrayed Zheng Ren's trust. It had not made a single mistake. Therefore, although Zheng Ren was puzzled this time, he chose to believe it. "Su Yun!" Zheng Ren shouted while craning his neck. "Boss, what's the matter?" Su Yun's voice came from another room. "Come here." After Zheng Ren said that, he said to a junior doctor under Chief Jiang, "Hey, push the electrocardiograph over here!" The junior doctor was stunned for a moment. He looked at the injured patient next to him and then at Chief Jiang. "If he asked you to do it, then hurry up," Chief Jiang shouted. He was completely unaware of what was happening. Su Yun was wearing a sterile surgical gown. He came down from the operating table and handed it over to Mu Tao to handle. The junior doctor pushed the electrocardiograph and rushed over. "Help Chief Jiang lie down," Zheng Ren said as he patted the operating table in front of him. Chief Jiang was stunned. Was this a joke? Why was he joking with him? Was he about to be operated on by this legendary surgeon... Chief Jiang immediately thought of preparing the skin... Burying the needle...and a series of preoperative preparations. But he was fine! "Relax, don't exert yourself. Walk over slowly. "Zheng Ren's voice was very gentle. He did not sound as irritable as when he was yelling at the patient. Uh... Really? Chief Jiang was stunned. "Chief Jiang, do you feel anything unusual now?" Zheng Ren asked gently. The entire operating theater and the corridor were filled with a strange atmosphere. It was as if a racing car was racing at full speed but the brakes were being floored. Sparks flew from the friction between the tires and the ground, the smell of rubber filling the air. "I don't feel anything special. I'm just a little tired and my whole body aches." Chief Jiang seemed to have realized something but he refused to believe it. He grinned and said, "Doctor Zheng, I'm fine." "Come, lie down," Zheng Ren said. Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren and felt unhappy. However, Zheng Ren's strange expression and behavior made Su Yun restrain the urge to scold him. Something must have happened!
