The Surgeon's Studio - Chapter 852
Chapter 852: A Pleasant Surprise
“Uh…” Zheng Ren hesitated.
What did he just do? He seemed to be standing here, directing the rescue.
Was this because he did not know what he was doing? Zheng Ren deeply reflected on himself. Although he knew that if there was a next time, he would probably rush up and do whatever he could. This did not affect his current reflection.
“Young man, which department are you from? Have you seen malignant high fever before?” The chief anesthesiologist bent down and rubbed his numb legs, asking with a smile.
The patient was injected with dantrolene and went to the intensive care unit for a critical period of 72 hours before he could be considered fine.
This matter was like a mountain rain in summer. It came and went in a hurry. The treatment was timely and correct. There was no future trouble. It was enough.
“I’m from the Department of Interventional Medicine.” Zheng Ren no longer had the imposing manner that he had when he was commanding the resuscitation. He lowered his head and said, “I’m from the Department of Interventional Medicine.”
“Hmm?” The Chief of the Anesthesiology Department was stunned for a moment.
Department of Interventional Medicine? What was he doing in the operating theater? Moreover, he was such a young doctor from the Department of Interventional Medicine. He was commanding the resuscitation, for an extremely rare case of malignant hyperthermia. Yet, he was actually very familiar with it.
How strange!
He looked at Zheng Ren in shock. Suddenly, he thought of something. “Are you Boss Zheng of the Nobel Prize?”
“It’s a nomination, a nomination,” Zheng Ren corrected him embarrassedly.
It was just a nomination and a candidacy. It was far from the level of winning the Nobel Prize. How far had these words traveled? In a few days, would he think that he had won four or five Nobel Prizes?
“No wonder, he’s really amazing,” Chief Xu Sighed.
“Chief Xu, Are you alright?” Professor Yang ran back. He saw Chief Xu of the Anesthesiology Department using his hands to support his legs and constantly kneading them, so he quickly asked.
“I’m fine,” Chief Xu said. “My arms and legs are old. Fortunately, I didn’t delay the resuscitation.”
“Malignant high fever… I didn’t expect to really encounter it.” Professor Yang still had lingering fear.
When it came to malignant high fever, both Chief Xu and Professor Yang had solemn expressions on their faces.
There were many hidden landmines in the medical field. Once they encountered it, in the current medical environment, the only thing that awaited the doctor was to be crushed into pieces.
For example, the patient just now walked onto the stage. He was fine and did not have any major issues. However, he had not even undergone surgery, and he had to stop it.
Who would be able to accept this?
Not to mention the patient’s family members. Even if a few of them were present, they would not be able to face such a situation calmly, no matter what.
However, small as the probability of such a disease appearing was, it was an objective existence.
If they could not encounter it in their entire lives, it was because they were lucky–both the patient and the anesthesiologist.
He remembered something…
Zheng Ren still remembered that he had read a biographical article written by a Doctor of Medicine. He was a doctor specialized in anesthesiology. After encountering a case of malignant high fever, he resolutely gave up the medical profession and became a medical lawyer.
Ten years of hard work from university was ruined in an instant.
But Zheng Ren understood.
This was the Imperial Capital. With Concorde and dantrolene, everything could be explained and saved.
But if it was the Sea City General Hospital, what would they do?
This was a disease that had already been determined as fatal by modern medicine. There were still many cases that had not been determined by modern medicine. What would happen if a patient died suddenly out of nowhere?
There was no solution.
“Boss Zheng, have you also studied emergency cases in the Anesthesiology Department?” Chief Xu asked with a smile.
“I’ve seen relevant reports. It says, whatever the situation, just treat it.” Zheng Ren was a little embarrassed. “Chief Xu, I’m sorry.”
“What’s there to be sorry about? Your treatment and rescue plan were right. Why do you have to say sorry?!” Chief Xu said with his eyes wide open.
Zheng Ren still apologized honestly.
After resuscitation, Zheng Ren had a rough idea of the context. The main reason was that his hormone levels had dropped, and now he had calmed down.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll go to the ICU to take a look,” Chief Xu said. “I’ve only seen two cases of this disease. This is the third case, and also the only successful resuscitation. I’ll go take a look at the patient’s symptoms after the treatment of dantrolene. If I encounter it again in the future, I’ll have a way.”
As he spoke, Chief Xu gave Zheng Ren a deep look before he turned around and left.
“Boss Zheng, it’s all thanks to you.” Professor Yang was still in a state of shock. His expression was very foul as he said this.
“It’s nothing.” Since he was already very familiar with Professor Yang, Zheng Ren was no longer so restrained and polite. He spoke with a smile.
“What are you doing in the operating theater?” Professor Yang asked.
“Chief Miao has a patient with an adrenal tumor complication along with other rare endocrine diseases. I attended the consultation of the whole hospital. Isn’t this the surgery today? Chief Miao asked me to take a look,” Zheng Ren said.
“How fortunate,” Professor Yang touched his heart and said exaggeratedly.
“It’s all in the past. The patient probably won’t have any problems. It’s only been more than an hour now, and dantrolene can reach all parts of the skeletal muscle. I touched it earlier, and the patient’s limbs are already soft. It should be fine. Don’t worry, Brother Yang.”
Professor Yang wanted to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, they turned into a sigh.
Zheng Ren knew what he wanted to say. There was no point in saying it. It was better to just let it go.
“Boss Zheng, did you do the live broadcast of the TIPS surgery yesterday?” Professor Yang suddenly remembered something and asked.
“Yes.” Zheng Ren nodded.
“You…are brave because of your skills. But Boss Zheng, it’s better to be careful.” Professor Yang kindly reminded him. “TIPS surgery is different from other surgeries. If it were any other surgery, it would be fine. TIPS surgery requires luck. Once the live broadcast of the surgery fails, it will have a very bad impact on your future work.”
Zheng Ren knew that this was a good thing, but Professor Yang did not seem to understand the situation.
“It’s alright, Brother Yang.” Zheng Ren smiled. “I’ve made some improvements to the problem of the surgical approach of TIPS surgery. I can basically determine the surgical approach. Failure… It can’t be said that there is no such thing, but the probability is very low.”
Professor Yang looked at Zheng Ren with a surprised gaze. He really did not know where Zheng Ren’s confidence came from.
“Brother Yang, is everything alright here? Then I’ll go take a look at the Urology Department’s surgery,” Zheng Ren said.
“Boss Zheng, are you sure there’s no problem?” Yang Lei pondered for a moment and asked.
“In theory, it’s the same as an appendectomy.” Zheng Ren smiled. “There’s not even the problem of an ectopic appendix.”
“…” Professor Yang was stunned. Then, he asked, “The Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery used to have similar operations for portal hypertension and varicose veins in the fundus of the stomach, but it’s very rare now. Boss Zheng, I’ll bring in a patient. Will you do it?”
“Thank you in advance,” Zheng Ren said with a smile.
It seemed that he had opened up a gap in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.
He really did not expect that he would actually gain something when he went on stage to watch the surgery in the Department of Urology. This could be considered a pleasant surprise.
