The Surgeon's Studio - Chapter 634
Chapter 634: Those Who Couldn’t Put On Weight Had Nothing To Fear
Zheng Ren also sighed.
“This is still considered good.” Su Yun suddenly interrupted. “When I was in my maternity internship, I met a little girl who came every two months for an abortion. Can you guess why?”
“It can’t be to lose weight, right?” Zheng Ren was stunned.
“Yes, that’s right.” Su Yun drank the wine in the cup in front of him in one gulp and said, “My teacher tried to persuade her a few times but it was completely ineffective. In fact, I still don’t understand why she would pay such a big price to lose weight.”
“Children are not sensible.” Lin Jiaojiao said, “They think about eating and drinking all day long so can they not be fat? How many people are lucky enough not to gain weight?”
Zheng Ren suddenly remembered that Xie Yiren seemed to be able to eat and drink quite a bit but was not fat… In an instant, he had a deep feeling about the saying that those who could not eat were fearless.
“Boss Zheng, the child did lose more than twenty pounds in the three months after the operation. But the day before yesterday, she showed signs of brown urine and jaundice all over her body. I took her to the hospital for hospitalization and performed a percutaneous hepatobiliary and bile duct drainage. Now, her symptoms are not that serious; she can still be saved. But after checking the ultrasound and CT, I did not find any problems.”
“What do you think is wrong?” Zheng Ren asked simply.
This was the Imperial Capital. The hospital that Lin Jiaojiao took the patient to was probably the Imperial Capital hospital, which was one of the top Class Three Grade A Hospitals in the country.
It was fundamentally different from Sea City.
“I haven’t thought much about it. I’m preparing to do an ERCP and use a mirror to confirm the diagnosis before proceeding with the next step of treatment,” Lin Jiaojiao said. “Since you just came back, wouldn’t this be the best time for you to take a look?”
“Are the radiographic films here?” Zheng Ren asked.
“Yes, I especially sent someone to pick them up when I came.” Lin Jiaojiao nodded. The assistant behind her walked out and quickly ushered a few people in.
She was holding the radiographic films in her hand. Two staff members followed her in, carrying the radiographic film viewer.
“Boss Zheng, give me a hand.” Lin Jiaojiao stood up, took the film bag from her assistant’s hand, and went to the radiographic film viewer.
Zheng Ren smiled. “Sister Lin, you’re too kind.”
He took the radiographic films from Lin Jiaojiao’s hand and inserted them into the radiographic film viewer. Zheng Ren crossed his arms and rested his chin on his palm, looking at the radiographic films seriously.
He was already very tired but once he stood in front of the radiographic film viewer and began to observe the radiographic films, his fatigue suddenly washed away.
The professor wiped his mouth with a napkin and also came to Zheng Ren’s side. Meanwhile, Su Yun held his phone in his hand and did not look at the radiographic films.
“Boss, is this a stack of artifacts or something?” The professor pointed at a tiny dot and asked.
“It’s only a CT so it’s really tough to determine.” Zheng Ren was also a little hesitant.
Many patients’ conditions could not be completely determined with a single radiographic film.
Experienced doctors could judge based on the probability of the patient’s actual condition. However, no one would dare say they were 100% certain without doing a pathology test.
“The resolution of the density here is not good, and there are also some problems with the spatial resolution. Try to increase the energy of the electron beam fired by the electron gun a little more and increase the gradient. Do you think it’ll be clearer?” Zheng Ren rested his chin on his hand. He said something that Lin Jiaojiao did not understand at all.
Even a doctor like Department Chief Kong, who came from an imaging background, did not understand what Zheng Ren was talking about.
The principle of CT was that the electron beam produced by the electron gun was shot at a circular tungsten target. The circular detector was arranged to collect information. However, raising the energy by a gradient?
The professor did not fully understand it, but with his experience in the research of TIPS surgery, he could roughly understand what Zheng Ren meant.
Su Yun played with his phone. The corners of his mouth twitched as he revealed a mocking smile. He thought to himself, ‘This guy is talking out of his ass again.’
However, he did have confidence. It could be said that he was pretending but in the end, he could always find a way to solve the problem. Even if Su Yun wanted to, he could not.
He calculated according to Zheng Ren’s words in his heart and his brows furrowed.
Looking up at the radiographic films, Zheng Ren’s finger just happened to touch a point.
“If the energy is a large gradient, the density here should be an ulcer,” Su Yun said.
“Yes, the periphery is an ulcer but under the ulcer, there is a high density of material. Considering that it may be a small solid tumor, we need to do pathology to determine what it is,” Zheng Ren said as he heavily tapped the radiographic films with his finger.
Su Yun felt that there was no flaw in his observation. Why could Zheng Ren still see more?
Department Chief Kong was stunned and his mind was in a mess. After thinking for a moment, he felt that his entire brain was heating up and his head was a little dizzy.
Department Chief Kong understood the principle that Zheng Ren spoke of. However, if he relied on mental arithmetic, Department Chief Kong was already old and definitely could not reach this level.
He was not the only one. Professor Rudolf Wagner was stunned for a long time. Finally, he asked hesitantly, “Boss, is it here?”
“Yes. The duodenal anastomotic ulcer, the ampulla, and the area around the head of the pancreas are problematic,” Zheng Ren said. “Sister Lin, hurry up and do an ERCP. Use the mirror to look at it. By the way, tell the doctor that you want to do intraoperative freezing.”
Lin Jiaojiao did not think that Zheng Ren would be able to solve the problem. It was just that she did not know what to say in order to avoid awkwardness during the meal.
For a surgical junkie like Zheng Ren, it would be more enjoyable to let him eat and sleep in the operating theater than to eat the best food. Without surgery, it would be a hundred times better to watch radiographic films than to sit and chat.
However, she never expected that Zheng Ren would give such an accurate diagnosis.
Lin Jiaojiao was a little confused. She subconsciously turned to look at Department Chief Kong.
“Listen to Boss Zheng. When will you do the ERCP?” Department Chief Kong asked.
“The day after tomorrow,” Lin Jiaojiao said.
“I’ll give Shi a call and do it tomorrow.” Department Chief Kong then asked for the patient’s name and dialed the number.
“Shi, it’s me, Kong. There’s a minor patient. I just looked at the radiographic films. I think there might be a big problem. Please do an ERCP tomorrow. We can’t delay it. The patient is young. I’m afraid there might be bigger problems if we delay.
“Okay, then you can get off work at noon. Okay, I’ll treat you to a drink some other day. Oh right, prepare for intraoperative freezing. Don’t forget about it.”
After saying that, Department Chief Kong hung up the call.
Xie Yiren suddenly looked at the scene in front of her with her big eyes and there was a smile in her eyes.
Lin Jiaojiao saw Zheng Ren’s affirmation and was a little impatient. She had only wanted to adapt to the situation and let Zheng Ren take a glance at her…but felt like he was not interested.
Only the person involved could clearly feel the slight difference between the two of them.
It left a bitter taste in her mouth and Lin Jiaojiao had something on her mind. Seeing that Zheng Ren and the others were also very tired, she allowed them to leave after another twenty minutes.
Chang Yue was holding her phone and watching with great interest. Xie Yiren went to call her and saw that she had turned off the volume and was watching cartoons.
“Such a good for nothing,” Su Yun said coldly from behind.
“What do you know?” Chang Yue’s voice was even colder. “It’s no fun drinking with you guys. What else can I do except for watching cartoons?”
With just that one sentence, Su Yun’s battery ran out…
