Chapter 1021: The Devil that Saved the Patient and Killed the Doctor

Su Yun was used to criticizing others. It was a hobby, but it was also part of his temperament.

Professor Danilo Acosta had a small mustache in the middle of his face. His golden hair had already turned white. He was originally full of vigor, but he did not expect Su Yun to snatch the wind from under him. He did not know what to say.

He could not answer Zheng Ren’s question directly, so he could only glare at Zheng Ren and fell silent.

“Professor Danilo, my boss just asked you if we should start the surgery directly or if there are other procedures?” Su Yun blew out his breath, and his black hair fluttered in the wind. He asked with a pleasant expression, as if those words were not what he said at all.

“There are a few legal documents. After signing them and seeing the patient’s condition, you can go for the surgery. My God, it’s only 5:30 in the morning. Do you want to go for the surgery? I was going to take you to the hotel to rest for a day and get rid of the damn jet lag,” Professor Danilo Acosta could not help but complain in the end.

“Perhaps this is the reason why you invited me to perform the surgery,” Zheng Ren said faintly.

Professor Danilo Acosta was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zheng Ren meant. The last syllable of his Texas accent was still so arrogant. It sounded familiar to him, but it was also extremely unfamiliar.

It was unimaginable that this was all being said by a Chinese person. In the Mayo Medical Center, there were many Chinese doctors. They were known to be gentle and soft-spoken.

“Because when you were in surgery, my boss was in surgery. When you were eating, my boss was in surgery. When you were sleeping, my boss was still in surgery.” Su Yun continued Zheng Ren’s words.

This time, their cooperation was more perfect. Su Yun was very satisfied with this. Unfortunately, Zheng Ren rarely had the time to criticize others. Of course, he was an exception.

In the face of the tacit cooperation between the two of them and the irrefutable arguments, Professor Danilo quickly cowered. He did not want to have an argument with this young Chinese doctor who came to perform the surgery in the car. Otherwise, if he turned around and left, he would be scolded to death by the big boss.

The car quieted down.

Zheng Ren carefully examined this task. After looking at it for a long time, he felt that if he could complete this task, the advantage would be that it would be especially beneficial for him to communicate with Dr. Mehar.

Soon, Dr. Mehar would come to China to perform the second stage of the surgery. With his proficiency in all languages, he would be able to communicate with him smoothly. Zheng Ren still knew the most basic level interpersonal communication. He was just too lazy to do it.

He was not like Chang Yue; only she knew how to talk to patients in a pleasant manner. She never pretended to be nice to Zheng Ren, the team leader.

“Are you sure you don’t want to take a break? Even if we go to the hospital now, we won’t be able to perform the surgery,” Professor Danilo reminded him after a while.

“We want to take a look at the radiographic films first. Then, we can wait and try to complete the surgery as soon as possible.” Zheng Ren rejected Danilo’s suggestion.

Professor Acosta wanted to say something, but he held it back.

Was this the kind of devil-like doctor who let the patient live and let the doctor die?

He tactfully shut his mouth.

Most doctors were afraid of this kind of devil-like person. After all, some people were born with abundant energy and did not know fatigue. And ordinary people always needed to rest.

If the professor leading the group of surgeries was such a person, the doctors under him would want to die.

At five o’clock in the morning, he actually wanted to perform a surgery. This was really… Professor Danilo Acosta could only curse a little in his heart.

The car quieted down. Zheng Ren wanted to go to the operating theater to do one last session of surgical training, but after a moment of hesitation, he still felt that it would be better to wait until he finished seeing the patient.

The patient’s current condition did not represent the situation after he went on stage.

Although there was only a difference of one to two hours in between, there was still a possibility of changes.

The time for surgery training seemed to be more generous after Zou Jiahua’s surgery. However, Zheng Ren was used to being stingy, so he naturally saved as much as he could.

Rochester was not big. The permanent population was around a million people. In his country, this was a small third-or fourth-tier city. It could not even be compared to Sea City. In addition, the entire city was still asleep early in the morning. There were not many cars, and the road condition was good.

Soon, in silence, they arrived at Mayo Medical Center.

The bronze statue of the Mayo brothers stood at the entrance. The words ‘Mayo Clinic’ shone brightly in the morning glow.

This was the Holy Land of the medical world. Zheng Ren had a trace of reverence in his heart. He got out of the car solemnly and followed Professor Danilo Acosta into the medical center.

It was still early, and most of the people had not woken up. Mayo Medical Center was quiet and lonely, forming two completely different extremes from the hospitals in the country.

Zheng Ren knew that Mayo’s revenue last year was 9.6 billion US dollars, and the 10,000-bed hospital in the country, which was known as the largest rural hospital in the universe, had a revenue figure similar to Mayo, except that the unit behind it was a soft currency.

The difference between the two was deep, and there was a technological gap. The most important thing was… forget it. Zheng Ren could not be bothered to think about these things. He followed Professor Danilo Acosta to the area where the research group was located.

This was the framework of a large research room, and not the Inpatient Department that Zheng Ren was familiar with.

The entire laboratory, even the air, had a laminar flow in operating theater that used cleaning technology to control the source of microbial pollution to different degrees. A familiar smell assaulted Zheng Ren’s face, making him feel extremely familiar.

This was great. Zheng Ren could not bear it anymore and wanted to perform the surgery.

There were very few wards here. There were only three. Two of the wards were empty, and only one of them was occupied. Moreover, the wards were made of special glass that could observe the patient’s condition from the outside, and the patient could not see anything from the inside.

Looking at the empty wards, Zheng Ren had the urge to fill them up.

This was a very bad habit he had to leave behind in his country, so Zheng Ren forcefully endured it.

Because of the medical treatment in his country, the cost of a city-level hospital was less than twice the cost of a top-tier Class 3 Grade-A hospital in the country, but the medical standards were much worse. In addition to the convenient transportation in the country, many people directly poured into the Imperial Capital and the Sorcery Capital to see a doctor.

Outside of the 912 hospital in the Imperial Capital, patients had to wait for several months before they could be admitted to the upper hospital.

Ever since Zheng Ren went to the Imperial Capital, there had been no time for his hospital bed to be free. It was said that during the New Year period, there would be 10 to 15 days of empty beds, but Zheng Ren did not make it.

“The patients who are staying inside are the ones you will consul this time. Let’s go and look at the medical records first,” said Professor Danilo Acosta.

In fact, just like Zheng Ren’s curiosity, Danilo was also very curious about Zheng Ren. If it were him, he would definitely have spent the first day sleeping and playing. Why would he directly rush to the hospital to see the patient.

This kind of efficiency and attitude was simply too terrifying.

Zheng Ren smiled slightly to express his goodwill. Then, he and Danilo came to the research room.

He did not stand on ceremony. He sat down and pulled up the patient’s medical records, treatment, and the course of the surgery on the computer. Then, he looked at it carefully.
