The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 458: A Master’s Dignity

“The Provincial Capital? Was it The First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University?” Gao Shaojie suddenly raised his head and asked.

Although he had devoted himself to the study of 64-row CT reconstruction, the argument was so intense that it was impossible not to listen in.

They were all old doctors in the clinic. They had never eaten pork before, but they had seen pigs run.

After listening to a few sentences, Gao Shaojie understood the general situation.

There was faint anger in Gao Shaojie’s heart. It was not much but it was still there.

How dare you speak to Chief Zheng like that? Who gave you the right to do so!

At this moment, Gao Shaojie had unknowingly treated himself as Zheng Ren’s student and wanted to protect his master’s dignity. These were the feelings in his heart.

The young woman saw Gao Shaojie’s scholarly demeanor and could not help but feel a little discouraged.

However, she was still unconvinced and called out a name.

“I know him.” Gao Shaojie picked up his phone and called a number.

“Little Jiang, it’s Gao Shaojie.”

“There’s a little girl, not even in her twenties. Did you diagnose her with acute appendicitis?”

“Yes, wait a moment.”

As he spoke, Gao Shaojie looked at the young woman and asked, “What’s the patient’s surname?”

“Zhang,” the young woman answered without thinking.

“Zhang Ruoning,” Gao Shaojie said. “How did you come up with this diagnosis? You didn’t even screened for an ectopic pregnancy, but you dared to say the diagnosis is acute appendicitis?! Is this what your Department Chief taught his students to do?”

“Yes, I got it. ”

After he said that, Gao Shaojie hung up the phone.

“Doctor Jiang said that he suggested a urine test for early pregnancy and also issued a test sheet but you refused,” Gao Shaojie said lightly. “Moreover, the diagnosis given by The First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University was acute appendicitis but they said they were uncertain if that was actually the case.”

The young woman was stunned.

She had indeed taken her child to The First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University yesterday to see a doctor. The whole process was no different from what Gao Shaojie had said.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University refused to admit the child into the hospital after she refused to let her take the early pregnancy urine test. This matter could not be pushed, so she brought the child back.

After they returned, they went to Sea City General Hospital. While processing the documents, the process was very smooth. However, they were now stuck in the hands of a young doctor.

Who was this Doctor Zheng? With just a word, a random person beside him could make a phone call and confirm Sea City General Hospital’s standard procedure!

He was not an ordinary person.

The young woman’s expression turned ugly. However, she was not a pushover. The criticism earlier had made her hit her limits.

With a cold snort, the young woman picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Zheng Ren felt very bored. This was not a battle of power. What was the point of calling people over and over again? If they could not perform the surgery, they could not. That was just how it was.

“Chief Xiao, it’s Shen Xiaomin. Yes, I called you this morning.”

“I contacted Chief Physician Pan but Doctor Zheng from the emergency ward refuses to allow my daughter to be admitted into the hospital.”

“Okay.”

After saying that, Shen Xiaomin held the phone in her hand and handed it to Zheng Ren. “It’s a call from Hospital Director Xiao.”

Zheng Ren felt very helpless and could only take the phone from the young woman’s hand.

“Hello, Hospital Director Xiao.”

“Oh, the patient is missing an examination. We can’t rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy.”

“No, she refuses to be admitted into the hospital to conduct this examination. The test results in her hand are also relatively complete. They are all recent but still lacking in differential diagnosis.”

“If you really want to do it, you can go to the General Surgery Department. Director Xiao, this is a violation of medical principles!”

Zheng Ren’s answer was very firm. Su Yun stood to the side, a little dazed.

In the General Surgery Department, this kind of thing was not common. It happened once or twice a year. Judging from the gentle and virtuous look on the young lady’s face, it did not seem like... Ahem. Well, it was impossible to tell from her looks. He was not a fortune-teller.

However, he was rejecting the Hospital Director’s request just like that? Was this not courting death?

The young lady Shen Xiaomin did not expect Zheng Ren to reject even Hospital Director Xiao’s request. Her face was flushed red as she pointed at Zheng Ren and trembled slightly.

Zheng Ren felt that she now looked similar to the patient who had pneumonia complicated with pleural effusion earlier today.

Perhaps their status and starting points in life were different. However, the distrust in the depths of their hearts was the same.

Zheng Ren handed the phone to Shen Xiaomin and said seriously, “I need to conduct the test. If I can’t do it, I won’t do the surgery.”

“You’re not the only one who knows how to do the surgery in Sea City General Hospital!” Shen Xiaomin said through gritted teeth.

“Then you can do whatever you want. But I’ll advise you for the patient’s sake, it’s better to complete the relevant examinations so that a complete diagnosis can be made,” Zheng Ren said.

Shen Xiaomin’s face turned even redder, her eyes filled with tears. “It’s impossible! I’ve been accompanying Ruoning in the Provincial Capital. I know what she does every day! It’s just appendicitis. You... You...bully!”

Huh...

At this moment, Zheng Ren was most grateful to the System’s diagnosis.

If not for the fact that the System never made a mistake in its diagnosis...

If it was not for the fact that the System had diagnosed the patient as having ectopic pregnancy...

At this moment, Zheng Ren would probably already be on his knees.

The young woman was like a cuckoo crying blood, causing people to feel pity for her.

However, Zheng Ren knew that even if he did nothing, there was a high probability that it would be a huge shock when he went on stage. Therefore, he was very determined and unmoved by the young woman’s grievances.

Seeing that Zheng Ren was not moved by her tears, Shen Xiaomin pulled Zhang Ruoning out of the emergency ward.

Zheng Ren sighed.

“Boss, you really have a heart of stone,” Su Yun said at the side.

At the same time, Chang Yue nodded. This was a rare sight.

Everyone was moved by the young woman’s tears.

“Go to the General Surgery Department and see if you want to go on stage. If you do, follow and take a look,” Zheng Ren said.

“I’m really curious,” Su Yun said casually. “Boss, what are you gonna do now?”

“I need to report this matter to Chief Physician Pan,” Zheng Ren said. “After all, Chief Physician Pan was the one who called for me to take this case. I guess the old chief didn’t see the patient and the test results before sending her over.”

“Are you asking Chief Physician Pan to take the blame? Let me tell you, I haven’t settled the score with you for asking me to do the patient’s check-up just now!” Su Yun suddenly remembered that Zheng Ren had conned him.

“Whatever. I’m going to find Chief Physician Pan.” Zheng Ren shrugged his shoulders like Rudolf Wagner and walked out of the emergency ward’s office.

Zheng Ren went downstairs and came to Chief Physician Pan’s office in the emergency department. He knocked on the door.

“Please come in,” Chief Physician Pan’s familiar voice chimed through the door.

Zheng Ren pushed the door open and went in. He sat obediently on the chair right opposite his desk and reported the whole incident to him.

Sure enough, just as Zheng Ren had guessed, Chief Physician Pan had only received a call from the Hospital Director and did not know anything else.

After the report was done, Chief Pan was silent for a few seconds. His fingers gently tapped on the ‘Guan Awl Chapter’. The rhythm was somewhat familiar to Zheng Ren.

“You did the right thing regarding this matter.” Chief Pan quickly concluded. He stood firmly on Zheng Ren’s side. “I’ll report to Chief Xiao. Remember, I’m not allowing you to do this surgery.”
