The Surgeon’s Studio

When he arrived at the gastrointestinal department, Chief Resident Shen found a young doctor he was familiar with to confirm that Chief Luo was there. Then, he brought Zheng Ren to the door of the chief’s office.

When they opened the door, there were a few people holding radiographic films inside. It seemed that they were the family members of patients that were waiting for Chief Luo.

Since they were already here, there was no need to be shy. Zheng Ren did not hesitate and knocked on the door.

“Please come in,” a man’s voice said.

Zheng Ren pushed the door open and entered. In the office, the patient’s two family members stood beside him. A man in his fifties was viewing the radiographic films on the radiographic film viewer.

“Hello, Chief Luo,” Zheng Ren said politely.

“Wait for me. I’ve just wrapped things up with this patient,” Chief Luo said as he glanced at Zheng Ren and Chief Resident Shen.

Zheng Ren immediately realized that Chief Luo must have mistaken him for the doctor who was treating the patient.

The few patients who were waiting outside were probably the same.

‘It’s really busy here,’ Zheng Ren thought.

Chief Luo looked at the radiographic films very carefully. He wore reading glasses and looked at them frame by frame.

Zheng Ren was curious. He took a few small steps inside and found an angle to look at the radiographic films from afar.

It was radiographic films of the abdomen. There seemed to be something wrong with the intestines, a little out of the ordinary from usual.

The Imperial Capital Hospital had gathered all the difficult and complicated diseases from all over the country. This was something that Sea City General Hospital could not compare to.

Zheng Ren’s eyes narrowed. He stared at a frame of images very seriously.

At Pengxi Village Hospital, the idea of building a new 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction through restoring the original data had finally been put into practice.

Radiographic films, data, original data, recombination…

Not long after, Zheng Ren felt that his brain was beginning to ‘heat up’.

His internal ‘CPU’ was running too fast, so heat dissipation was a problem.

Perhaps the hall flowmeter could be used to display the flow rate, and its pulse output had a nonlinear positive correlation with the flow rate. The average number of pulses in the computer’s water-cooled working flow rate range and the flow rate ratio proved that circulated water cooling could solve this problem.

When Zheng Ren finished looking at the radiographic films, this thought appeared in his mind.

However, carrying a water-cooling instrument to cool his brain… That was a strange thought.

“Has the patient’s colonoscope been done?” Chief Luo asked as he looked at the image that Zheng Ren had been staring at.

“Not yet. Didn’t he rush over immediately after discovering that there was bleeding?” The patient’s family member answered somewhat anxiously.

“I’m considering non-polyposis colorectal tumors. The possibility of malignancy is relatively high. We can choose to operate directly,” Chief Luo said slowly as he continued to stare at the radiographic films.

It seemed that he still had some difficult problems to solve.

After all, the patient’s examination was not complete. There was only one abdominal CT radiographic film. Chief Luo’s standard was indeed very high for him to be able to see so many problems.

“As for the surgery… you should go to the general surgery department for further consultation.”

Zheng Ren habitually crossed his arms and resting his chin on his palm. After seeing the patient’s radiographic films, he had already forgotten the purpose of his visit. He was immersed in searching for the exact cause and treatment of the disease.

Chief Resident Shen saw that Chief Luo had already given the diagnosis and treatment plan, so he hurriedly pushed Zheng Ren in.

Zheng Ren did not say anything. His eyes were staring at the radiographic films, entranced.

“Uh…” Chief Resident Shen was stunned. What was Boss Zheng doing?

“Huh?” Chief Luo noticed Chief Resident Shen’s small movements and glanced at Zheng Ren. Whose naughty kid was this? His face was black and blue. Did he just get into a fight with someone? How could someone at his age get into a fight with someone?

This person did not seem to be reliable. He was wearing a white uniform that was the standard of the Imperial Capital Hospital. However, he did not wear a name tag. He was probably here to study at the last minute.

Where was he looking at the radiographic films? Could he decipher the problem?

Zheng Ren did not know that in the time he was looking at the radiographic films, Chief Luo’s impression of him had dropped by a few grades.

Chief Luo was looking at the radiographic films. It was a patient with Crohn’s disease. He had been receiving oral medication for eight years. Two years ago, he realized that he had already recovered and stopped taking oral medication. Ten days ago, he had blood in his stool. The patient and his family were scared out of their wits. They hastily took a CT scan of his entire abdomen and came to the Imperial Capital Hospital.

Getting treatment at the Imperial Capital Hospital was not as simple as treating a patient in a local hospital.

When the patient’s family arrived, they were dumbfounded. At that time, they were only concerned about the situation. All the major hospitals had a one or two months queue unless you had your own connections. The better the hospital, the longer they had to queue for admission.

Therefore, their main task became to contact all kinds of acquaintances, dig for connections, and find doctors who hailed from the Imperial Capital Hospital. They even lowered their standards and did not ask to be admitted to the hospital. They only needed to find someone to take a look at the radiographic films.

After enduring for ten days, they finally found Chief Luo of the Imperial Capital Hospital.

When they heard Chief Luo’s words, they were all terrified—it was a malignant tumor!

The patient’s wife had tears in her eyes. She wanted to ask something but couldn’t say a word. The family members who accompanied her didn’t know what to ask either. They stood there in a daze. They wanted to ask something but didn’t know what. They simply stood rooted at the spot.

Chief Luo glanced at Zheng Ren, and then at Chief Resident Shen.

The scene in the office suddenly became very strange.

Chief Luo looked at Chief Resident Shen, Chief Resident Shen looked at Zheng Ren, and Zheng Ren looked at the radiographic films. No one said anything.

After a few seconds of silence, Chief Luo felt that something was wrong. He coughed and looked at Chief Resident Shen, asking, “Which department are you from?”

“Hello, Chief Luo. I’m the Chief Resident of the intervention department. My surname is Shen, and I’m Department Chief Kong’s doctor,” Chief Resident Shen said vaguely.

He was not very sure. Zheng Ren had not introduced himself but he had already jumped out to talk.

But since Chief Luo had already asked, he could not pretend not to hear it. However, Brother Yun was not with Boss Zheng today. It seemed that it did not matter if he did something wrong.

“Oh, so you’re Senior Kong’s doctor. Why are you looking for me?” Chief Luo crossed his hands and lightly tapped the back of his hands. He looked at Chief Resident Shen with interest, then glanced at the junior doctor who was focused on the films from the corner of his eyes.

“Uh…” Chief Resident Shen was stunned. He looked at Zheng Ren for help.

However, Zheng Ren was half a step in front of him. Even if he tried to give him a silent signal, Zheng Ren would not be able to see him.

Chief Luo was slightly stunned. What was Chief Resident Shen doing? Why did it look like he was the weaker one? That junior doctor who was younger than him was more like a senior doctor instead?

Could it be that some family’s child was coming here for an inspection? It couldn’t be. If it was someone else’s child, he would have already gotten a phone call. And his face was bruised and swollen. Had he been in a fight or even a race recently?

Or perhaps…

Strange.

The atmosphere became more and more awkward. Soon, Chief Resident Shen was at a loss.

This was Zheng Ren’s first time… He had recovered once before but it was with the System’s help—he first used the System panel to determine the condition of the illness and then reverse-engineered it.

Reverse extrapolation consumed a lot less energy than now and couldn’t be compared at all.

This was Zheng Ren’s first time using the Legend-level ability to restore the original data, then reconstruct the image.

He was immersed in a mysterious world and couldn’t extricate himself, so he didn’t notice what Chief Luo and Chief Resident Shen were talking about.
