Chapter 485: Chapter 278: Carrying Jiang Ming and Dropping a Black Entry
After painting a grand blueprint for Wu Ting, Scholar Jiang had other matters to attend to and let him leave first.
...
...
After leaving Fuwai Hospital, Wu Ting checked the time. It was about when Jiang Ming got off work.
Wu Ting gave Deng Feifei a call.
Deng Feifei was just about done resting, so she drove over to Fuwai to pick Wu Ting up.
This time, Deng Feifei was driving a car she rarely used, one she usually kept parked at her mansion in Qinghe City.
It was a silver Hennessey Venom GT supercar that Deng Feifei had purchased some years ago.
Upon its arrival at Fuwai, Deng Feifei’s supercar naturally attracted a great deal of attention.
Watching Wu Ting get into Deng Feifei’s car, many onlookers wore knowing expressions. ’As expected of a handsome guy, he’s got a rich girlfriend.’
Hu Zhipeng, who had just gotten off work, was in the hallway when he saw Wu Ting sitting in the convertible supercar, and in the driver’s seat, Deng Feifei—wearing sunglasses, with a figure, face, and aura all scoring above a nine out of ten.
Hu Zhipeng thought about his own second-hand Golf and the mortgage he was still paying off. For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy and bitterness.
’This Director Wu is really something else,’ he thought. ’He’s living the life every male doctor dreams of.’
Just as Wu Ting and Deng Feifei arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Ming showed up as well.
Watching the lovey-dovey couple, Jiang Ming chuckled from a distance. ’Director Wu is just in the honeymoon phase right now,’ he mused. ’Let’s see if you’re still this clingy in a few years.’
These days, Jiang Ming’s legs practically trembled when he saw his own wife. After all, before Wu Ting came along, he had been the number one handsome doctor at City First Hospital.
After arriving at the restaurant, Jiang Ming greeted Deng Feifei and Wu Ting, and they all went to the private room he had booked.
As the host, Jiang Ming began to order.
Thinking of how lovey-dovey Wu Ting and Deng Feifei were, Jiang Ming, with his wealth of experience, thoughtfully ordered several hearty, "restorative" dishes for Wu Ting.
Watching Wu Ting and Deng Feifei reminded Jiang Ming of when he had just graduated, renting an apartment with his girlfriend. Back then, he had researched all sorts of restorative foods and learned countless recipes.
After the food was ordered, the three of them started to chat.
"Wu Ting, you rascal, you really scared me today. I never expected you to be so incredible at diagnosing and treating aortic diseases."
"After the successful surgery, our Director Liu couldn’t stop praising you. If you hadn’t left, he would have insisted on having a long chat with you."
Thanks to Wu Ting, Jiang Ming had also received some rare praise from Director Chen.
"Even Director He, who was on the remote call, phoned our Director Chen after the surgery and they talked for a long time. I have no idea what they were discussing."
"I took the opportunity while Director Chen was on the phone with Director He to clock out early and come over."
Hearing that Wu Ting had earned such admiration and praise from the head director of the emergency department on his very first visit to Xingke University Hospital, Deng Feifei felt happy for him. ’That’s my Brother Ting!’
They chatted for a while longer. As Wu Ting and Deng Feifei were talking intimately, Jiang Ming, sitting to the side, pulled a few pieces of paper from his pocket and began to quietly read and memorize them.
"Patient, 6 years old, echocardiogram... parasternal left ventricular long-axis view shows the right pulmonary artery originating from the posterior wall of the ascending aorta..."
"Parasternal great artery short-axis view shows an aortopulmonary window with a defect visible in this plane..."
"Color Doppler shows a left-to-right shunt... The aortopulmonary window causes increased blood flow in the main pulmonary artery trunk and the left pulmonary artery, while the right pulmonary artery, originating from the ascending aorta near the defect, also causes an increase in blood flow..."
As Jiang Ming was reciting it for the fifth time, Wu Ting placed a piece of beef into Deng Feifei’s bowl with his chopsticks and said casually:
"It’s a rare case of Berry syndrome. The pulmonary hypertension is because, during the embryonic period, the shunting through the aortopulmonary window defect and the drainage from the abnormally originated right pulmonary artery lead to reduced blood flow in the aortic arch, causing aortic hypoplasia. At this point, the patent ductus arteriosus becomes a critical channel for blood supply to the lower limbs after birth..."
Hearing Wu Ting’s words, Jiang Ming froze.
"Wu Ting, what did you just say?"
Wu Ting didn’t answer, asking instead, "What are you reading?"
Jiang Ming explained, his face turning a little red:
"I’m not a monster like you, able to direct Director Chen and Director Liu to perform a primary surgery on your first visit to our emergency surgery department."
"I’ve been doing my fellowship in the emergency surgery department at Xingke University Hospital for a few months now. For the most part, I just follow the attending physicians and manage the patients on the ward."
"What I was just reciting was the case file for a patient I’m responsible for, who was just transferred from a lower-level hospital. The child’s condition is very unusual and rare. Our department admitted him, but we still haven’t determined the final diagnosis. So, tomorrow morning there will be a joint consultation with other hospitals. I need to prepare in advance so I can report the patient’s symptoms and physical exam findings to the senior doctors and directors from the other hospitals."
The work Jiang Ming was doing was the typical role of a grunt, common for junior doctors.
His own skill level wasn’t high enough to make a diagnosis, so all he could do was memorize the symptoms to report to the experts at the consultation. To avoid getting stuck, stammering, or being nervous during his report, Jiang Ming was preparing thoroughly beforehand, aiming to be able to present fluently without notes.
He just never imagined that after he had read it out loud only a few times, Wu Ting would hit him with a seemingly random diagnosis.
Wu Ting responded with clear and firm certainty:
"What I just said was the diagnosis for your case."
’After obtaining He Guangzong’s "black entry," Wu Ting hadn’t thought much of it, but after hearing Jiang Ming recite the case several times, the diagnosis naturally surfaced in his mind.’
’It felt as natural, effortless, and easy as flowing water!’
Wu Ting himself was shocked by the power of He Guangzong’s entry. ’Worthy of the First Blade of Fuwai, this black entry!’
After hearing this, Jiang Ming was in disbelief. He had never even heard of the rare Berry syndrome.
Wu Ting had no choice but to explain it to him in detail.
Then, he added another point for Jiang Ming:
"Berry syndrome is indeed clinically rare, and most cases are concentrated and treated at Fuwai Hospital and Anzhen Hospital. Here’s what you can do: log into the rare disease database. It has some clinical cases and detailed explanations of Berry syndrome..."
"This condition is difficult to diagnose, but it does have some characteristic features. The most important one is the easily overlooked ’butterfly sign’..."
"...In the parasternal great artery short-axis view, you can detect the typical ’butterfly sign’ of Berry syndrome. That is, when the aorta and pulmonary artery are displayed simultaneously, you can clearly see the left pulmonary artery continuing from the main pulmonary artery, and the right pulmonary artery continuing from the ascending aorta..."
After Wu Ting’s detailed explanation, a skeptical Jiang Ming re-examined an easily overlooked plane in the echocardiogram. It was exactly as Wu Ting had described.
He took out his phone and immediately logged into the rare disease database jointly established by Qinghe City Children’s Hospital, Qinghe City Anzhen Hospital, and Fuwai Hospital, just as Wu Ting had mentioned.
After reading through it, Jiang Ming was thrilled. ’At tomorrow’s inter-hospital consultation, I’ll be able to call the shots!’
Jiang Ming immediately asked Wu Ting to repeat his diagnostic reasoning and conclusion while he recorded it on his phone.
"HAHAHA, Wu Ting, I really have to thank you for this one."
"Waiter, bring two more hearty dishes!"
