Chapter 451: Crossing Half The Asian Continent For Medical Consultation

Seeing Zheng Ren enter, the patient immediately put down his phone and sat up from the bed with a smile on his face.

“Department Chief Sun, the patient needs to continue having his blood ammonia checked for at least three days after the surgery,” Zheng Ren instructed as he walked to the patient’s side and began the physical examination.

[So high, this is what life feels like~]

While the physical examination was going on, Professor Rudolf Wagner’s phone rang.

The professor looked annoyed. He quickly took out his cellphone from his pocket and was about to hang up.

When he saw the caller ID, his expression immediately as he sneaked out of the ward.

Zheng Ren did not pay much attention to the professor. Instead, he did a detailed physical examination and a test for hepatic encephalopathy.

The patient’s condition was particularly good after the surgery. He was fine and unfettered. He predicted that after a few days under the effects of diuretic drugs, the ascites would gradually decrease and his life would be able to return to normal.

“Everything seems completely fine.” After the examination, Zheng Ren said, “Department Chief Sun, if everything goes well, we can do the second stage of the surgery in three days and remove the recyclable stent.”

“Can I be discharged after that?” the patient asked.

“Your discharge depends on the condition of the ascites and protein,” Zheng Ren said. “But in theory, after we solve the problem of the high pressure within the portal vein, there should be no other issues.”

The patient showed a happy smile.

At first, he had some complaints about having a young doctor perform the surgery. However, when he saw Professor Rudolf Wagner beside Zheng Ren, his complaints immediately ceased.

There were not many people who had some idea, but there were definitely many.

Before performing the TIPS surgery, he had consulted many large tertiary grade-a hospitals. The news he received was that the surgery was very risky, its mortality rate among the top three of all current surgical methods.

However, after the surgery today, it only took him half an hour to get in and out.

He was only relieved when he heard Zheng Ren’s confirmation.

Zheng Ren reminded the patient of a few more things regarding dietary requirements before he left the room.

“Chief Zheng, the patient is really lucky to have met you.” Gao Shaojie sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Shaojie had seen patients after TIPS surgery before. At this time, they were probably beginning to have symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. However, Zheng Ren’s postoperative patient was carefree as if he had not undergone surgery.

How could he reason with this?

“It’s alright.” Zheng Ren smiled.

“Do you have some time?” Gao Shaojie asked. “To be honest, I could not comprehend today’s surgery at all. I had a few things I wanted to consult with you after the surgery, but after you finished, I was completely confused.”

“Oh, that’s fine. Let’s go back and study it together,” Zheng Ren said ‘modestly’.

Department Chief Sun had some doubts and worries, but when he saw that Chief Gao praise Zheng Ren so highly, he hid all his doubts in the bottom of his heart and said a few words of praise.

Compared to Gao Shaojie, Department Chief Sun’s words lacked a lot of sincerity. He did not touch on the essence of the problem, but Zheng Ren did not care.

“Boss!” Professor Rudolf Wagner walked over and said excitedly, “My a.s.sistant has brought the patient to the emergency ward!”

“Oh? The prostate case?” Zheng Ren’s expression was calm.

“Yes.” The professor nodded.

So what if he arrived? If he needed surgery, then he needed surgery. If he needed a check-up, then he needed a check-up. Why was he so excited?

When Professor Rudolf Wagner saw Zheng Ren’s calm expression, he smiled sheepishly. He moved closer to Zheng Ren and said, “Boss, can you make an appointment for the examination in advance?”

“If you’re in a hurry, you can do it tonight,” Zheng Ren replied.

The professor was very happy. He seemed to have forgotten about the inviolability of his private time after work.

“What patient?” Gao Shaojie asked curiously.

With Professor Rudolf Wagner’s ident.i.ty and status, there were not many surgeries that he would be interested in.

Moreover, according to the professor, he had rushed over from Germany for the surgery. This was all so strange!

“Prostate hyperplasia, an interventional embolization treatment,” Zheng Ren said.

Gao Shaojie was stunned. Prostate? Recently, he heard that there was research in this area in the Capital. However, Gao Shaojie was focused on the diagnosis and treatment of liver disease and was not interested in the prostate, so he did not ask more.

When he heard it, all his questions were suddenly answered.

Zheng Ren was about to become a legendary person who created the interventional embolization of the prostate! If he could operate on the prostate, it was no wonder his TIPS surgery was so flawless.

As he thought this, Gao Shaojie suddenly saw Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolf Wagner talking as they walked away.

He quickly chased after them.

This time, it was right for him to stay! Gao Shaojie praised himself in his heart.

Back in the emergency ward, Chang Yue was busy.

A Chinese girl in her twenties was acting as an interpreter for a German man in his thirties. He was trying to answer her questions in stiff Mandarin. The Chinese girl next to him kept correcting his mistakes.

The patient was not in the office, so the ward had probably been arranged beforehand.

“Little Oliver, you’re finally here.” Professor Rudolf Wagner went up and gave the young German man a big hug.

“Professor, it’s too far to travel across the Asian continent by train,” the German man answered in stilted Mandarin.

Zheng Ren was a little surprised and asked, “You can also speak Mandarin?”

“It was the professor’s request. My G.o.d, Mandarin is too difficult to learn,” Oliver replied.

“No, it’s a very beautiful language. You’ll soon know its uses,” the professor said excitedly. “Little Oliver, in the future in this great country, we have to communicate in the local language, even if it’s just the two of us.”

Oliver’s eyes reflected his despair.

“I’ve already chosen your Chinese name for you. Xi Bao’er, isn’t it nice? I’ve often said that this name is the same as ‘cells’ in Mandarin. It’s a name I have carefully chosen for you.” The professor patted Oliver’s shoulder, his long golden hair fluttering about.

“Xi Bao’er…” Oliver was about to cry.

Zheng Ren was speechless. When he was not in the ward, what exactly did Chang Yue say to Professor Rudolf Wagner?

Lil Fugui was not enough, now Xi Bao’er had arrived.

In this day and age, puns were cringe-worthy.

“Lil Fugui, sit down. I want to record his medical history.” Chang Yue was a little unhappy. She despised the professor for wasting time.

Oliver was stunned.

Why did this girl speak so harshly to the professor? In the next second, the professor probably started to roar like an angry lion.

However, what Oliver had expected did not happen.

Professor Rudolf Wagner’s face was practically beaming. It seemed that every strand of his long golden hair was radiating gentleness.

“Chang Yue, do you want to experience the feeling I had when I met Xi Bao’er? It’s called…meeting an old friend in a foreign land?”

“The 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction has been booked. Do you still want to do it today?” Chang Yue’s answers were always curt except when dealing with patients.
