The Surgeon's Studio

Panda Novel

In a middle-class restaurant at Sea City, more than twenty people were sitting around a table, chatting and eating.

They had chosen this place simply because the table was big enough to house their group.

If the people in the department were divided amongst tables, the atmosphere between them would not be as good. Gatherings were all about reunions. It was not good to be separated.

Xie Ning and his wife sat together with Old Chief Physician Pan. They toasted with each other, warm yet reserved.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, they addressed everyone else in the room and expressed their gratitude. The others did not have their own speeches to say. Instead, they tried to curry favor. Old Chief Physician Pan did not like what was going on and neither did those below him.

Xie Ning smiled and drank a few glasses with Old Chief Physician Pan. After that, she looked at Chief Wang who had come from the Imperial Capital. She raised her glass and asked, “Chief Wang, are you used to being in Sea City?”

Although Chief Wang was a chief resident at Imperial Capital, he did not have much time to go out and socialize. However, in the Imperial Capital, he had seen many rich and noble people so he had his own judgment of how things worked.

The person in front of him was different.

Chief Wang was certain that the dishes he ordered were definitely not what a medium-sized restaurant could provide. Each of them was very exquisite but not ostentatious. In other words, they were a low-key luxury.

Only those who could understand would know what he meant.

Those who did not would not think about it twice.

Everything was just right. Judging from what was on the table, the person in front of him was not any ordinary person.

Chief Wang did not drink because he would have to go back to perform surgeries and see patients at any time.

He picked up his drink and smiled. “Imperial Capital is also in the north, so there’s nothing that I’m not used to. It does get a few degrees hotter than the Imperial Capital, and the air quality here is better. Overall, it’s been pretty good.”

“Are you on duty today?” Xie Ning looked at Chief Wang’s drink and asked with a smile.

“Yes, I won’t drink,” Chief Wang said frankly. “Chief Zheng just left so I don’t dare to be even a little careless.”

Xie Ning led the topic to Zheng Ren and did not say anything else, waiting for the man to continue.

“Old Chief Physician Pan and Chief Zheng were the ones holding the fort at Sea City General Hospital’s emergency department. Although I’m not up to par with either of them, I still have the ability to maintain and keep it going.” Chief Wang’s face suddenly became serious, as if he had thought about something.

“Oh? You’re being too modest.” Xie Ning put down his wine glass and looked at Chief Wang with a smile.

The nurses and doctors on the other side of the table were chatting happily. They were singing, using the background music as their backtrack. Chu Yanzhi was standing on a chair with her arms raised up, her phone held high.

Behind her, she found two nurses to help move the chair. They were recording some videos for the people in the operating theater and the emergency ward. They were having a great time.

The topic had ventured into something that Xie Ning was finally interested in.

“I know Chief Zheng. He’s in the Imperial Capital. Chief Zheng is going to participate in a research project on a new interventional technique.” Chief Wang began to recall, “When Chief Zheng first went, something happened and he managed to save a friend of mine so I kept saying that I should thank Chief Zheng. You also know that chief residents don’t usually get to operate. Later, Brother Yun brought Chief Zheng to see me.”

Xie Ning smiled. He knew about the matter Chief Wang did not want to mention.

Young people… It was a good thing to be hot-blooded.

“At that time, I just received a difficult-to-treat illness. I judged that there were some problems. When Chief Zheng entered the room, he told me to diagnose it. Later, he even helped me finish the surgery a few hours earlier on the operating table,” said Chief Wang. “Originally, I thought that Chief Zheng…”

While speaking, Chief Wang had a complicated expression on his face.

Xie Ning was curious. What was going on?

“Please don’t take offense at my words.” Chief Wang thought for a moment but he could not find a suitable word so he said it directly.

Xie Ning nodded and was even more curious.

“I thought that Chief Zheng was already awesome enough! But after coming to Sea City, I saw with my own eyes that Chief Zheng went to the emergency department for a major surgery. It was so f*cking awesome that I couldn’t believe it!” Chief Wang sighed from the bottom of his heart.

“Hahaha.” Xie Ning laughed loudly.

When he was in a bad mood, he could not vent his emotions without letting a few profanities slip. No wonder he looked at Chief Wang with that kind of expression.

However, was he really that awesome? The chief resident from Imperial Capital Hospital was already considered very skillful. Xie Ning’s previous judgment was that Zheng Ren’s level was higher than theirs but he was also young so how good could he be?

However, he realized after hearing Chief Wang vent his emotions, there was a hint of respect in the man’s words and even…a bit of worship.

That was not possible. He could not have been so good.

Looking at Xie Ning’s gentle expression, Chief Wang could not tell what he was thinking. Moreover, he was immersed in the atmosphere of venting so he continued.

“When I first met Chief Zheng, I heard Brother Yun call him boss. I was wondering who had the ability to be conferred that sort of title by him.”

“Who is brother Yun?”

“Su Yun. When he was a postgraduate student in the Imperial Capital, he did his own research. He cloned his own stem cells to grow a heart and then transplanted it himself. After the surgery, the mice lived for more than 40 days.”

“Oh, more than 40 days. That’s not easy. If we work hard for a few more years and perfect it, the mice will probably live longer.” Xie Ning did not know much about medicine but he still knew the basics. After that, he said a few words to save the awkward atmosphere.

“Live?” Chief Wang was stunned for a moment then he smiled and said, “The mice didn’t actually die either. In the end, they broke the cage and ran away.”

“Oh? Is medical technology so advanced now?” Xie Ning’s expression, which was like a distant snow mountain, finally relaxed a little.

“That’s because Brother Yun is awesome. No one can do it except for him,” Chief Wang said. “At first, I didn’t believe that Brother Yun had found such a small boss. But later when I saw Chief Zheng do surgery, I couldn’t help but sigh. Brother Yun’s eyes really know how to spot talent!

“Don’t doubt it. Actually, before this, I didn’t believe it either.” Chief Wang said, “A few days ago, there was a series of car accidents on the highway leading to the Provincial Capital. Chief Zheng received an emergency patient whose liver had been crushed. Although my skills aren’t good enough, I’ve seen many surgeries in the Imperial Capital. I still have a good eye for these sorts of things.

“I really didn’t think there was any way to suture that kind of liver. Resuscitation efforts for the patient had been given up since they were pretty much a corpse at that point.

“Don’t blame me for being cold-blooded. Sometimes, there’s no other way. But when Chief Zheng went up, I couldn’t even keep up with supporting him during surgery. He intervened and performed surgery, sewing up the liver in less than an hour.

“That patient has already left the critical stage today and was transferred back to our emergency ward from the ICU. I want to do a case report on this case but I can’t contact Chief Zheng. It’s so frustrating.”

Seeing the conflicted look on Chief Wang’s face, Xie Ning smiled, raised his glass, and downed it in one gulp.

It was the kind of thing that could be added to wine or written in books.

“Then you have to work harder,” Xie Ning said gently.

“Of course!” Chief Wang downed the fruit juice in his glass in one gulp as if he was drinking wine. His eyes were slightly red, looking like a soldier downing his last shot before going to war.

After drinking that glass of juice, he looked a little heroic and determined.
