The Surgeon’s Studio

Chapter 926: There Was an Undercurrent

Early in the morning, Xie Yiren drove to the hospital.

He was going to Imperial Capital for hepatobiliary surgery today, so Zheng Ren had to come early to see the patients.

Seeing patients had already formed a deep-rooted habit, just like eating and sleeping. Zheng Ren always felt that something was missing when he did not see the patients before and after the surgery every day.

Although Professor Shen had returned a long time ago, and there was still a doctor like Chang Yue who did not leak a single drop of water, Zheng Ren was still worried.

Perhaps this was also one of the types of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Intervention, hepatobiliary, and digestive. There were three wards and eleven postoperative patients. Their condition was stable. When Zheng Ren arrived, there were still three patients who had not woken up. The patients from the department were discharged today. They were to change to another group of patients who had already been scheduled for surgery the day after tomorrow.

The surgical arrangements in the Imperial Capital had been calculated to the bone. The bed turnover rate was something that would never have been expected in Sea City.

After the ward rounds, Chang Yue stayed in the Department of Interventional Medicine and continued to work.

The surgery was completed, but Chang Yue’s work was endless. Every day, the condition of each patient, what items needed to be checked urgently, and whether there were any changes in the condition of the patient, all needed to be taken care of by a good doctor.

Zheng Ren was very at ease with Chang Yue. After arranging the matters at home, Xie Yiren drove all the way to the Imperial Capital’s Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Hospital.

…

At the Imperial Capital’s Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Hospital, Zhu Liangchen arrived at the hospital early in the morning. He first looked at the patients who were going to be operated on today to ensure that there were no mistakes.

Zhu Liangchen was under a lot of pressure to invite Zheng Ren to perform the surgery.

This was especially so when he needed the surgery to be broadcasted live. This was clearly written in the agreement. However, the issue that the freelance surgeons were most concerned about — the surgery fee, or the issue of hiring an outside expert — was not marked.

Every time Zhu Liangchen thought about it, he felt a little emotional. He even secretly envied this group of young people.

They did not perform surgeries for money. They did not have any restrictions. They only focused on scientific research. This was a life that many doctors yearned for.

Young people were full of vigor. They looked unstable, but after interacting with them for a period of time, Zhu Liangchen sincerely lamented that his dorm leader’s vision was really sharp.

Not only was Boss Zheng good at performing surgeries, his lectures were even more in-depth and simple. From anatomy to imaging to surgery, they were all closely related.

He pondered for a long time, but in the end, he could not enter. However, after listening to a class, he suddenly understood. After asking the remaining questions, Zheng Ren also answered them one by one.

At this level, if he were twenty years younger, Zhu Liangchen would definitely abandon everything and work for Boss Zheng no matter what.

Unfortunately, he already had a foundation on his side. To abandon the chief of a Class Three Grade-A Hospital in the Imperial Capital and work for someone else?

Zhu Liangchen had already lost the courage to start over again.

Moreover, he could not bring himself to do so. In the Imperial Capital, he could be considered a person of status. If Zheng Ren accepted his position, he would bow down to him. He would be the big brother. The best outcome that Zhu Liangchen could think of was to protect him with all his might.

Zhu Liangchen could not accept changing his position.

However, it was still necessary to invite Boss Zheng to perform the surgery. Zhu Liangchen knew that he only understood it in theory. The actual operation was another matter.

The Department of Interventional Surgery in Imperial Capital’s Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Hospital had 100 beds. There were two departments, and Zhu Liangchen was only the chief of one of them.

In terms of business, he had the final say, but in terms of administration, the chief of the Department of Interventional Surgery and the Chief of Administration of the Department of Interventional Surgery, Zhou Chunyong, had the final say.

It was just that the administrative level was half a level lower. Usually, they would not interfere with each other’s business, so it was not a problem.

However, the conflict between the two of them had been going on for a long time. Zhu Liangchen knew that Zhou Chunyong had been watching him during the live broadcast of the surgery.

In fact, he also had his own complaints. He just wanted to do a demonstration surgery. Why did he have to do a live broadcast?

However, after watching Boss Zheng perform more than ten TIPS surgeries, he could only hold back his complaints.

The other party’s surgery really did not have any flaws at all. Even a surgery like the TIPS surgery, which was the most important surgery in the discipline, was simplified. The success rate… not to mention success… Zhu Liangchen had never seen Zheng Ren fail before.

However, even though Boss Zheng did a good job with the TIPS surgery, he was still very careful to prevent any accidents from happening.

Zhou Chunyong had been staring at him, waiting for him to make a mistake.

Especially with the live broadcast surgery. When he thought of this, Zhu Liangchen had a headache.

The agreement did not force all the teaching surgeries to be broadcast live, but there was not a single one. Zhu Liangchen was also afraid that Boss Zheng would think that he was not paying attention.

Therefore, ten patients were prepared to perform the teaching surgery today. Two of them were persuaded to do the live broadcast surgery because their families had financial difficulties.

After all, if it was a live broadcast, all the medical supplies for the surgery could be saved.

When it came to the cost, it was another account that was not clean.

Zheng Ren insisted on using Changfeng’s minimally invasive medical supplies and equipment, but Zhu Liangchen rejected his request without hesitation.

Medical supplies could be said to be the most fundamental problem, and Changfeng’s people who came to do business were not very enthusiastic. They said that the manager in charge of this area was in the hospital and would only come over in a few days.

Zhu Liangchen could not understand why Boss Zheng chose such an unreliable company. He did not even have his joints cleaned, yet he wanted to go to the hospital. He must be dreaming.

However, he was too lazy to think about it. All he needed to do was to learn the TIPS surgery.

The agreement only required the surgery within three years to be recorded according to the format of the Nobel Prize. Nothing else was involved.

These things were complicated. It was not something that could be done in a short week. Zhu Liangchen felt that it was already very impressive for him to be able to do this in such a short time.

However, he still had to say that Chief Kong was amazing.

If it were not for his repeated warnings, he would not have put down his pride so quickly and shamelessly went to learn a new surgical technique from a junior doctor who was not even thirty years old.

After leading his subordinates to check the ward, he contacted Zheng Ren and knew that they were almost there. Zhu Liangchen did not take advantage of the situation. Instead, he personally went to the inpatient department to welcome Zheng Ren.

He had always been the one who went out to perform freelance surgeries. Now, it was his turn to be welcomed by others. Zhu Liangchen was not unhappy. He wore a white suit and slowly walked downstairs.

Just as he walked out of the entrance of the ward, he ran into the chief physician, Zhou Chunyong.

Although the two of them did not get along, it was all in private. On the surface, they were still very gentle.

“Chief Zhou, why are you here?” Zhu Liangchen asked with a smile.

“Isn’t there a surgery broadcast today? Let me take a look.” Zhou Chunyong said with a smile, “Little Zhu, I’m also curious. I’ve watched Boss Zheng’s surgery broadcast on Xinglin Garden. You really invited a god this time.”

It sounded very normal, but Zhu Liangchen heard it in his ears, and his words were full of sarcasm.

However, he did not refute it. He just smiled and kept praying that nothing bad would happen to Boss Zheng’s live broadcast of the surgery today.

He was a little regretful. One live broadcast of the surgery was enough. It meant that everyone could live with it. Two cases… The risk was still a little high.

After greeting Zhou Chunyong, Zhu Liangchen went downstairs. He did not expect Zhou Chunyong to follow behind him.

“Chief Zhou, what are you…” Zhu Liangchen was a little unhappy.

“I’m going to pick up Boss Zheng. This is the first time I’ve seen someone who can come to our specialized hospital to perform freelance surgery. I need to see him properly.”
