The Surgeon's Studio Chapter 536 – Close Combat

Chapter 536: Close Combat

Wang Qiang stood at the back looking confused.

He could not understand what Zheng Ren and Gao Shaojie were talking about.

It was not because he was not serious enough in his studies, but because it involved the core principle of nuclear magnetic dispersion. As such, the theory seemed to hurt his brain at that moment.

Su Yun was playing on his phone while listening to Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolph Wagner talk. After listening a few times, he managed to understand what was going on. However, Wang Qiang could not do the same…

Not only could he not do it, but even if he were to seriously study it, it would be a long road of despair.

Although he was confused, Wang Qiang still forced himself to hold back. He held Gao Shaojie’s phone in his hand and recorded the discussion between Zheng Ren and Gao Shaojie for post-operative research.

Wang Qiang was really unconvinced that he was born with a twisted spirit.

If he could not develop it then so be it.

There were not many people in the world who could develop this new technique. However, there would be a big problem if he also could not understand it.

He knew how big the opportunity in front of him was. Although it was difficult, he still had to overcome it no matter what.

However… Every time he watched the film intently, Wang Qiang would feel dizzy.

Zheng Ren’s words were simple. He would subtract a gradient increment and reconstruct it in his mind.

There was simply too much data and procedures involved. Wang Qiang’s brain was unable to comprehend it.

…

At the same time in Sea City’s Secondary Hospital.

Cheng Lixue’s face was gloomy. He sat in the Chief’s office with a heavy heart.

He was thick-skinned enough to learn TIPS surgery. He did not expect that the small chief resident at Sea City General Hospital would be able to catch up on the lesson regarding diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.

It was so humiliating for him!

Cheng Lixue left angrily then.

However, Cheng Lixue felt somewhat embarrassed after he had managed to calm down. He knew how much importance the two hospital chiefs attached to TIPS surgery.

If he was not worried about the huge risks involved in performing TIPS surgery and was not looking to have a peaceful retirement, the Secondary Hospital would have already started performing TIPS surgery.

Now, there was the opportunity to learn it and he even fought to make sure that he could get the opportunity so how could he just let it slip through his fingers? How would he explain himself later when he was back?

He had no choice. He had to take a few days of sick leave. Cheng Lixue was at home thinking about the matter with a frown on his face.

In the end, he felt that the possibility of the small chief resident at Sea City General Hospital trying to humiliate him was slim. There was a possibility that the new technique really required one to understand diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.

He then contacted the nuclear magnetic field department’s Department Chief at the hospital to learn it from them over the next few days.

He thought his comprehensive skills had improved and his confidence returned. However, there was still a part of him that was telling him that his efforts were still not enough.

On Wang Qiang’s other side, Cheng Lixue was clinging onto Teacher Gao’s thigh. He felt like a threat to the other.

It was because his subordinate doctors told him that Wang Qiang had already contacted the next batch of patients who needed to undergo TIPS surgery. Cheng Lixue could not make himself sit still while waiting for Zheng Ren to perform the surgery.

He wanted to conduct the surgery himself and his impatience was evident.

When in close proximity, Cheng Lixue could feel Wang Qiang’s sharp gaze on him.

He could not sit still and wait for the other to thwart his efforts. Cheng Lixue immediately got his subordinate doctors to contact the patients who needed to undergo TIPS surgery. He was also prepared to put down his pride. At the very least, he wanted to perform the surgery.

That way, he would not seem so unsightly.

Was it not the professor just…trying to hire someone else to do it! What was the big deal?

In his heart, he still did not think that the young doctor from Sea City General Hospital was considered a professor.

There was a knock on the door. Cheng Lixue’s mind was unsettled then so the sudden noise shocked him. He took a moment to steady himself before he called out, “Come in.”

A young doctor pushed the door open and came in. He was holding a film in his hand.

“Chief, I have a patient with advanced cirrhosis. He had a large number of ascites for many years. I contacted him and he really wants to do the surgery. ”

After hearing this news, the expression on Cheng Lixue’s face improved.

It was not much but as long as there was at least one patient, that would be good enough.

There were too many things in the middle to think about. Just the thought of it allowed Cheng Lixue to come up with countless ways to make sure Wang Qiang could not monopolize the balance of power within the department.

“Where’s the patient?” Cheng Lixue asked.

“The patient has just been admitted. He’s in the ward,” the young doctor replied. “Their scan is here.”

Cheng Lixue took the scan and glanced at it briefly. It was indeed an MRI sign of liver cirrhosis, so the diagnosis was accurate.

“Let’s go and see the patient.” Cheng Lixue had just stood up when his phone rang.

“Hello.

“What? The fire department is currently undergoing a safety check of the building?

“No, I can’t. I’ve already informed Old Ma. You have to calm them down first. I’ll be there right away,” Cheng Lixue said hurriedly.

The phone call was from Cheng Lixue’s partner. The fire department was undergoing an inspection of a restaurant in his house.

Cheng Lixue knew what his own restaurant was like. To be honest, he knew that all of his stores would not be fit to undergo a thorough inspection.

He hurriedly took off his white doctor coat and changed into his own coat.

“Chief…” The young doctor stood where he was, not knowing what to do.

“Write down the case, prepare for surgery, and just wait till I’m back,” Cheng Lixue hurriedly instructed. “Oh right, we need to talk to the patient about the specialist fees.”

After he finished speaking, he locked his cabinet and chased the young doctor out. After that, he locked the office door and left in a hurry.

The young doctor stood in the corridor looking very confused.

TIPS surgery was such a top-notch and difficult surgery. He himself did not know how to do it, nor did he know how to prep for it beforehand.

After all, the Secondary Hospital was different from the Provincial Capital, Imperial capital, and Shanghai. TIPS surgery was carried out routinely there. For them however, it was still considered something brand-new.

He was so lost… The young doctor stood there for a few minutes and sighed.

He could only follow the normal preoperative examination. If there was anything wrong… Oh right, he could look at the other group of patients. His eyes lit up as he thought about it.

The two chiefs were divided into groups. The young doctors below did not have any conflict of interest. They were still harmonious and did not shed all pretense of cordiality.

Their conflict had nothing to do with him and it did not feel necessary to join in.

It was the safest option for him to take a look and ask a few questions in regards to it.

The young doctor quickly returned to his office and began to work.

…

Zheng Ren and Gao Shaojie watched the video for at least two hours. The phone in Wang Qiang’s hand had long run out of battery. Later, he used Gao Shaojie’s phone to record the video. When his power supply was in danger again, the preoperative discussion finally ended.

It seemed like he had to bring a charger next time, Wang Qiang thought to himself.

It was called a preoperative discussion because that was the common terminology for it but in fact, the whole process was mostly Zheng Ren constantly pointing Gao Shaojie in the right direction whenever he got lost in the discussion.

Even so, Gao Shaojie only managed to comprehend just a fraction of what had just gone on.

As for Wang Qiang, he was like a duck listening to thunder and could not comprehend anything at all.

After finishing his research, Gao Shaojie felt dizzy.

“Teacher Zheng… Can I just call you boss?” Gao Shaojie was not very interested in calling him teacher. In this day and age, there were too many teachers. It was just a title. Gao Shaojie felt that calling Zheng Ren that way did not match his status at all.

“Anything’s fine with me.” Zheng Ren smiled.

“Boss, I’ll be going back for the surgery tomorrow.” Gao Shaojie’s waist could not help but bow down to him slightly as he continued, “I’ll study it well and if there’s anything I have difficulties with, I’ll trouble you to explain it to me tomorrow.”

“It’s not a problem.” Zheng Ren smiled.
