The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 503: Backup Plan And Scumbag Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everything went smoothly as they had expected it to.

The sedative continued to be pumped through. The suction machine made a slight sound, giving everyone a sense of security.

Old Chief Physician Pan and Chief Zhou had finished their work. After giving Zheng Ren a few instructions, the two men and the legal consultant with his personnel dispersed.

After Lawyer Ge had printed out the legal documents, he remained silent. He looked at Zheng Ren with a very complicated expression.

Everyone had left except for him. Instead, he followed behind Zheng Ren. Zheng Ren realized that he was still there but felt like it would be inappropriate to just simply chase him out.

Chasing someone away after using them was no different from putting on pants and leaving after certain activities.

Zheng Ren brought the young man named Li Liang to the emergency ward. When they entered the corridor, Zheng Ren saw Tang Xiu standing in the corridor with her small team. She was probably waiting for him.

Damn it... He forgot about Tang Xiu.

Zheng Ren immediately broke into a sweat. He rarely used social resources to do anything. Today, in the Provincial Capital, he looked into Liu Tianxing’s eyes as he lay on a hospital bed. There were feelings of pity, hatred, and other emotions mixed together. Furthermore, when the patient came back to her senses, she tried her best to bite the tracheal tube with her teeth when her tube was being pulled out.

The collision between life and death today was so intense that Zheng Ren was a little dazed.

He had actually forgotten the fact that Tang Xiu and the rest were already here.

“Hello, Chief Zheng.” There was no trace of unhappiness on Tang Xiu’s face. When she saw Zheng Ren return, she walked over enthusiastically and extended her hand.

After shaking hands, Zheng Ren said apologetically, “Lead Editor Tang, I’m sorry. There’s something that the higher-ups have to take care of, please...”

Forget about it? He could not bring himself to say that.

“It’s fine.” Tang Xiu smiled. “I asked the nurse where you were and went up to take a look.”

While she spoke, Tang Xiu used her hands to brush her hair back out of habit. She was skilled in doing so, giving her a slightly charming aura.

“I also want to thank you for providing us with good material.” Tang Xiu smiled. “This helps to promote a certain positive energy within society...”

Zheng Ren listened with one ear as it came out of the other.

He politely let Tang Xiu into the room. Zheng Ren apologized and made the best use of his time to explain the procedures to Li Liang before the surgery.

Naturally, the earlier the surgery, the better it would be for the patient.

When he first saw Du Chunfang, there were no immediate family members present so he could not perform the surgery.

After a few hours of commotion today, the legal Issues between them were finally resolved. Now, it was time for the surgery.

Tang Xiu did not mind. She gestured for the photographer to start filming so that they would have some material to work with.

Zheng Ren felt guilty, so he did not refuse their actions.

He got Li Liang to sign off for the patient’s surgery as he started to print out the informed consent form.

Sea City General Hospital’s Emergency Department had never carried out an operation on patent ductus arteriosus. This was the first case in the hospital, so there was no standard procedure for them to fall back on.

He could only rely on his own knowledge of it and write things down one by one.

Within the System’s Library, journals with a high impact factor would not be relevant to this topic.

After all, patent ductus arteriosus...was really nothing much. Even if it was done with fancy methods, it could not be published in literature with an impact factor of more than 10.

Li Liang was very cooperative. Moreover, he had brought Du Chunfang to a few hospitals before, so he had a general understanding of the condition.

Zheng Ren printed out the informed consent form for the surgery and explained it to him in-depth. Li Liang nodded repeatedly.

The bloody spot on his forehead was no longer bleeding, but it looked a little hideous. However, neither Zheng Ren nor Li Liang cared about these things.

After giving the pre-operation instructions, Li Liang signed the consent for surgery. Zheng Ren called Su Yun, who was left in the ICU, to prepare for the surgery.

After that, he informed Xie Yiren, Chu Yanran, and the others to come for the emergency surgery.

Finally, he called Feng Xuhui, who rushed over immediately with the related equipment.

He had already informed Feng Xuhui about it before, so Zheng Ren believed that Feng Xuhui had already prepared all the equipment beforehand.

The facts proved that his theory was true. Feng Xuhui told him that he would wait for Zheng Ren at the operating theatre’s entrance within the next five minutes.

“Chief Zheng, you’re going to do an operation, right?” Tang Xiu was very tactful. Seeing that Zheng Ren was busy, he definitely would not be able to accept an interview.

The reason why she was called over was probably as a backup plan. Since the matter had already been resolved, her presence there was now meaningless.

Even if she was treated as a backup plan and rushed over from home after work, Tang Xiu still did not have even the slightest bit of resentment.

Her smile made Zheng Ren feel very embarrassed.

Zheng Ren also knew his intentions when he had done this, painting him as a ‘scumbag’. He was quick-witted and wanted to make things less awkward.

“Lead Editor Tang, this is what has happened...” Zheng Ren used a short period of time before the surgery began to inform Tang Xiu about the entire incident.

Tang Xiu was dumbfounded when she heard it.

She, who lived such a pampered life due to her parents, would never have thought that there would be such indifference in the world.

Zheng Ren quickly wrapped his story and said, “I’ve seen something similar to crowdfunding in newspapers. Look...”

Tang Xiu was in tears when she heard that. She nodded repeatedly and said, “Chief Zheng, leave this to us.

“Nowadays, a lot of crowdfunding is simply feeding into people’s sympathy and creating a story to scam for donations. We also do not dare to report it casually. We can’t let the bad guys get away with it. But here, we have obtained first-hand information so we know it’s credible.”

Zheng Ren nodded. He had repeatedly stopped Chang Yue and the others from starting crowdfunding because of this reason.

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best to help you with the plans you’ve arranged,” Tang Xiu guaranteed.

Zheng Ren was sweating. Tang Xiu’s attitude was far too optimistic, making him feel like there was something else she wanted.

“You can go ahead.” Tang Xiu brushed her messy hair and smiled gently. “During the surgery, I’ll interview the patient’s family members and try to collect more detailed information. Regarding the press release, I’ll discuss it with my managing editor.”

“Then I’ll leave that to you then,” Zheng Ren said as he nodded.

Alright, the matter was settled. Zheng Ren still did not know what to do with the surgery.

There was only a limited amount of time he had to run through some training simulations in the System. Zheng Ren could only rely on his confidence in the grandmaster-level interventional surgery skills to perform the surgery itself.

It was better to hurry to the locker room and find a quiet place to spend his remaining scattered surgical training time and practice the surgery itself.

Although it was not difficult, he still needed to face it in a serious manner.

Zheng Ren called Su Yun and asked him to call him once he went on stage.

The professor was observing the patient’s vital signs and all relevant information after the prostate interventional embolization. Like a scientist doing scientific research, Zheng Ren felt too embarrassed if he were to ask him to go on stage as well.

When he walked out of the ward, Lawyer Ge was still following him.

Zheng Ren stopped and looked back at him.

He had just finished seeing the patient, so it was not good to fuss about what had happened before then.

Lawyer Ge was the first and only lawyer Zheng Ren had come into contact with in his life, so he remembered him at the most critical moment.

“Lawyer Ge, thank you for helping today.” Zheng Ren squeezed out a smile.

It would be a lie to say that he did not mind what had happened before.

Zheng Ren was now in the type of situation where one should not bite the hand that helps feed them.

If there was anything, he would first feel wronged. Once he had the ability, he would definitely take revenge. However, after today’s incident had occurred all of a sudden, Zheng Ren had unintentionally used Lawyer Ge.

He could not say anything else after that.

Lawyer Ge’s gaze was a little complicated. He sighed and said, “Chief Zheng, I’m sorry about what happened before.”

Zheng Ren was stunned. Lawyer Ge had changed the topic a little too quickly.

“Chief Zheng, I’ve never believed in any medical ethics. I don’t even believe in morality. Nothing is more practical than money. That is truly how I think.” It felt as if Lawyer Ge was speaking in court, his tone and demeanor serious.

“Today has really opened my eyes about these things.” The corner of Lawyer Ge’s mouth twitched. He wanted to smile but did not. “In the face of life, money is really not important. Chief Zheng, will that girl be okay?”

“It’s not a serious illness. As long as there are no accidents, she’ll definitely be fine,” Zheng Ren said.

“Forget it, don’t be unreasonable.” Lawyer Ge lowered his head and took out a business card from his suitcase. He put the bag under his armpit and held the business card in both hands as he handed it to Zheng Ren. “Chief Zheng, this is my business card. If you have any similar problems in the future, just call me directly about them.”

Zheng Ren took the business card, nodded, and stuffed it into the chest pocket of his white coat.

“Chief Zheng, you’re busy so I won’t bother you anymore.” Lawyer Ge bowed slightly and left.

Zheng Ren looked at his back as he left and shook his head with a smile.

When he arrived at the operating theater, Zheng Ren changed his clothes and went to the small smoking room in the changing room. He lit a Purple Cloud and entered the System’s space.

After tallying the time he had left for surgical training, he noted that he still had around three hours left.

This was his accumulation after he had finished the main mission and reaped the rewards of it.

It was a little urgent, but it was probably enough.

Zheng Ren immediately began the surgical training.
