The Surgeon's Studio

Chief Chen looked inside. Zheng Den weakly tore off his sterile clothes and threw them into the medical waste bin, preparing for the next surgery. When he turned around, he saw someone staring at him.

‘Who is this person? ‘Do I know him?’ Zheng Ren glanced at Chief Chen. He was wearing a mask and his smile was covered. He only used his eyes to express his goodwill.

“Are you Doctor Zheng?” Chief Chen asked when he saw Zheng Ren smile at him.

“Yes, you are…” Zheng Ren perked up and asked.

At this moment, Zheng Ren was very hungry and his body had reached its limit. However, he did not dare to rest. He did not dare to waste his time on a meal or a nap.

He used all his energy for surgery. After the surgery, his body tried to recover itself and he looked a little absent-minded.

“I’m…” Chief Chen was also stunned. How would he introduce himself? The retired chief of Chengdu Provincial Hospital? Or something else?

No matter what, there seemed to be a problem.

“Young man, it’s very awkward to perform surgery alone, right? I’ll give you a hand when you get off the stage,” Chief Chen said. “I’m old and can’t do too much but one or two won’t be a problem.”

Zheng Ren yawned and said, “Please rest. I’ll be fine on this side alone. If you come up, the surgery won’t be that fast.”

Chief Chen was furious. Were all young people nowadays so arrogant?

Even if the surgery was done well, did he not know that surgery was not performed by one person?

“Look, my own assistant has already been sent over to help Professor Mu.” Zheng Ren, Chief Jiang, and the others carried the next patient onto the operating table listlessly.

“By the way, what happened to your assistant? I saw him hit Mu Tao with the hemostatic forceps,” Chief Chen asked.

“I guess professor mu did something wrong and he helped to correct it.” Although Zheng Ren did not see the situation with his own eyes, he instantly guessed the reason that was close to the truth.

“Teach Mu Tao surgery?” Chief Chen was stunned.

Young people were really good at bragging but…he was also a little absent-minded. He did not know why, but he vaguely felt that these words were true.

He recalled the scenes in his memory. It was really not flirting, but teaching surgery instead.

“Since you can teach surgery, why not let your assistant be the chief surgeon? It’ll be faster this way.” Chief Chen still did not believe it. He knew Mu Tao’s level. There did not seem to be many people who were qualified to teach someone like Mu Tao surgery.

He quickly found the flaw in Zheng Ren’s words and asked that question.

“That guy’s level is about the same as professor Mu’s but his eyesight is better.” Zheng Ren listlessly answered Chief Chen’s question. He walked to brush his hands and began to doze off. “But after this, I estimate that his skill level will increase by leaps and bounds.”

Chief Chen was a little surprised. What exactly did these young people eat to grow up? Why were they all so fierce?

The standard of Imperial Capital doctors was high, but it definitely would not be to such an extent.

He had a thought and followed Zheng Ren to scrub his hands.

At his age, if he wanted to scrub his hands and take the stage, he could not be kicked out by the young man in front of him, right?

“The key is that he is a cardiosurgery major. He only participated in the surgery for a few months and has only really practiced it a few times. He can only teach Mu Tao. If he does it himself, he has to show his cowardice. He’s not that stupid,” Zheng Ren spoke the truth as if he was talking to himself.

Uh… A cardiosurgery major… He only watched the surgery for a few months…

Chief Chen was cursing in his heart.

Forget it. Forget it. I’ll just scrub my own hands and go on stage.

‘First, I’ll help. Since I’m already here and there’s still room for me, I’ll come up and lend a hand. Second, I’ll have a closer look at this young man’s level.’ He did not really believe Zheng Ren’s words.

Zheng Ren saw that Chief Chen was also wearing lead clothes and scrubbed his hands. He wanted to say a few words of advice but when he saw his silver hair and skinny, withered body, his heart ached for no reason. He did not say anything and started to disinfect.

Soon, the surgery began.

Chief Chen followed the standard procedure as an assistant but made mistakes time and time again.

He did not use a normal guide wire. Instead, he used a micro-guide wire. He did not confirm the position of the micro-guide wire and began to step on the line. The micro-guide wire was at the edge of the internal iliac artery branch.

A guide wire? It did not seem to be necessary.

The surgeon operated with his left and right hands. There was no difficulty in the super selection.

The only thing that was needed was to apply the medicine. It was just a matter of pressing a button. Chief Chen even felt that he was hindering the surgeon through his action of pressing a button.

However, he was really skilled in his selection despite the fact that he looked so listless that he was about to fall asleep. However, no matter how difficult the internal iliac artery branch selection was, it was all a success. He did not even hesitate or test it out.

This was really…

“Doctor Zheng, who’s your teacher?” Chief Chen asked after a moment of surprise.

Such a young and talented person must have learned from a prestigious family. A few names of big shots who had intervened appeared in Chief Chen’s mind. They were probably among these few people. There was no escaping it!

“My teacher is Old Chief Physician Pan,” Zheng Ren said casually.

“Pan… Professor Pan Jie of Concorde?” The only person that Chief Chen could think of with the surname Pan was a demon.

“No, it’s Chief Physician Pan of Sea City General Hospital’s emergency department.” Zheng Ren completed the selection of a blood vessel and made a hand gesture.

Chief Chen quickly interrupted his thoughts and began to administer medicine.

After completing the embolism of a blood vessel, Zheng Ren began the selection of the next step. Only then did Chief Chen start to ponder.

Sea City? Sea City General Hospital? Even though he did not know where Sea City was, it was obvious that it was only a city-level hospital.

Moreover, it was not the department of Interventional medicine, but the emergency department. What kind of mess was this?

Was his judgment wrong yet again?

While he was thinking about it, he was also observing Zheng Ren’s selection.

Chief Chen did not want to delay the medication and the surgery because of these thoughts. He had always remembered what he was here for.

As for these questions… They could be considered gossip. There would be plenty of time to think about them in the future.

In just over ten minutes, a surgery was successfully completed.

Zheng Ren began to withdraw the tube. Before the micro-catheter was withdrawn from the femoral artery, his hand was pressed down.

“Doctor Zheng, after the interventional embolization operation, it should be confirmed with angiography,” Chief Chen said seriously and stubbornly.

“There’s no need. We’re wasting time.” Zheng Ren’s hand moved slightly. He felt that Chief Chen’s hand was very strong.

“There will always be mistakes during surgery. It’s better to check it once,” Chief Chen insisted.

“Uh… okay.” Zheng Ren felt helpless but Chief Chen was right.

He was only certain in his heart that he should try to reduce unnecessary steps and save time so that he could perform more surgeries.

If he had the time to argue with the old man, he could just do an angiogram. It would not be a waste of time.

Soon, the guide wire catheter arrived at the branch of the internal iliac artery.

The angiogram was injected, and the image appeared on the opposite screen.

The smoke-like images from before disappeared completely. The surgery was done perfectly.

Chief Chen nodded. Although there was something wrong with the procedure, it was a confident performance.

He walked out of the operating theater and looked at the corridor full of postoperative patients trying to stop the bleeding. He thought back to the few surgeries he had just seen. He had worried for nothing. Sea city. Old Chief Physician Pan. Who was this demon? Who could have taught such a powerful disciple?
