The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 492: Seen Crying

While Zheng Ren and Gao Shaojie were watching the video, Li Jianguo had already brought the patient to the operating table. The scrub nurse was busy cleaning up the medical waste from the previous surgery and preparing the surgical bag for the next one.

Li Jianguo also wanted to hear what Teacher Gao was learning but someone had to prepare for the surgery, right?

The young doctors in the clinic were born to do this kind of work.

All the old doctors were trained since they were young doctors. They had been doing this kind of work for god knows how many years.

Ten minutes later, Li Jianguo had already laid out the sterile list and prepared everything for the surgery.

“Teacher Gao,” Li Jianguo called out.

“Teacher Gao, that’s basically how it is. Su Yun and I will go on stage first. You just observe this one first,” Zheng Ren said with a smile.

Gao Shaojie did not have time to be polite. His mind was filled with the sequence of diffusion-weighted MRI images. All kinds of correct and incorrect virtual sequences appeared repeatedly in his mind. It was overwhelming.

“Su Yun, let’s get to work.” Zheng Ren turned around and told Su Yun to wash his hands.

However, that man did not make any preparations first. Zheng Ren did not even have time to take out the System’s lead apron.

He could not perform a ‘magic trick’ in front of Su Yun.

Forget it, he would just wear this lead apron for a few TIPS surgeries. It would not eat much thread.

Zheng Ren and Su Yun put on the lead suit, washed their hands, and put on the sterile gown. After that, they began the surgery.

In the operating room, Gao Shaojie watched through the lead-lined glass.

“Old Gao, how many needles does Zheng need for TIPS surgery?” Chief Liu came over and asked.

Gao Shaojie was still immersed in the image of the magnetic field diffusion, unable to extricate himself from it.

“Would it be done with around five needles?” Chief Liu continued to ask.

“Uh…” Gao Shaojie hesitated slightly. “I’ve seen the TIPS surgery done by Zheng. They’re all done with one needle.”

Chief Liu felt his scalp go numb.

Had Gao Shaojie not snapped out of his thoughts yet? It was usually supposed to be five needles but Chief Liu said it with his teeth clenched. It was only because Zheng Ren had been of great help that Chief Liu said it out of respect.

Now Gao Shaojie said that he could do a one-needle puncture!

How was that possible!

“Old Liu, I didn’t believe it at first but it’s the truth.” Gao Shaojie knew what Chief Liu was thinking.

What else could he be thinking!

When he saw Zheng Ren performing the TIPS surgery at the Secondary Hospital that day, he also thought the same.

Chief Liu was silent. He did not dare blink as he focused on the surgery.

When the LCD screen began to show images again, he immediately found a good spot and carefully looked at the puncture kit.

He did not blink. He had prepared himself mentally. He was waiting to be surprised.

After all, he had spent a lot of effort but still could not fish out the micro-conducting wire. The other party had casually fished it out as soon as he stepped on the stage.

This was the difference between their skill levels.

However…

Three minutes later…

Chief Liu was still dumbfounded.

A few minutes later and he still did not blink. His eyes were so dry that he was about to cry.

However, what had he seen?

Chief Liu saw the needle appear in the portal vein. When it reached the position where he could test the needle, it seemed to move for a moment before it went out.

Now, even the membrane-covered stent had gone in.

Was the surgery difficult?

Not at all! If it was someone who did not know anything, they would definitely think that this was a simple surgery.

However, Chief Liu’s standards were very high. He was also a graduate of a famous school. There were thousands of clinical chief surgeries, and he had performed dozens of TIPS surgeries.

How could he not understand?

However…

However…

However, he really did not understand!

Chief Liu felt his eyes start to water. He did not know if it was because he did not dare to even blink over the past few minutes and his eyes were dry, or if it was because he could not take his eyes off the TIPS surgery. He actually did not understand how the surgeon had done it and was now suffering a huge blow. It caused an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

Damn it! He was actually crying while watching the surgery…

Chief Liu turned his head to look at Gao Shaojie. He saw that the expression on his face was not ignorance but a hint of joy.

Could it be that he understood?

At this moment, Chief Liu remembered that Gao Shaojie had initially said he would ask Teacher Zheng to teach him TIPS surgery.

Now that he thought about it, those words were actually true!

“Old Gao, this TIPS surgery doesn’t seem very difficult,” Chief Lin said.

Gao Shaojie and Chief Liu were speechless.

There was nothing to say to an amateur like him.

However, he was the head of the Medical Service Department. If he could guarantee that he would not make any mistakes for the rest of his life, he could ignore the head of the Medical Service Department. He could even point at him and scold him. You idiot, how dare you say that TIPS surgery was not difficult at all! Are you a doctor or not?

However, who could guarantee that the mistakes made by the neurosurgery department today would not happen to him in his own lifetime?

Gao Shaojie thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Chief Lin, Old Liu and I are quite skilled, aren’t we?”

“We’re the best in the province and the country can barely be considered to be at the bottom line.” Chief Lin gave a very pertinent evaluation.

Currently, other than the equipment supplier brought by Teacher Zheng, everyone in the operating room was on the same side so there was nothing that could not be said.

“I need about ten needles to perform the TIPS surgery. Old Liu, I think you would probably need about the same.” Gao Shaojie gave an example to prove it. “That’s usually the average number for successful surgeries. Sometimes, twenty needles may not necessarily solve the problem. It would simply write off the surgery as a failure.”

Gao Shaojie explained Chief Lin’s problem very clearly in a few simple sentences.

It was not that the surgery was simple, it was that Teacher Zheng was far too skilled. ‘Chief Lin, your cognition is problematic.’

Chief Lin nodded. His eyes narrowed slightly. No one knew what he was thinking about.

A few minutes later, the second recyclable stent went in as well. Zheng Ren took out the puncture kit, the angiogram, and the guide wire. The surgery was over.

Walking out of the operating theater, Zheng Ren asked with a smile, “Teacher Gao, how is it?”

Gao Shaojie pondered for a moment and said, “Teacher Zheng, I think I have some grasp of it.”

“Okay, then step down from the stage and I’ll run it over with you,” Zheng Ren said very naturally without any pretense.

Gao Shaojie nodded his head happily.

Li Jianguo ran forward and back before leading the second patient to the stage.

The second patient’s diffusion-weighted MRI film was already inserted into the reading device. This time, Gao Shaojie did not let Zheng Ren speak first. Instead, he said, “Teacher Zheng, I’ve studied this film before. Do you think it should be punctured at this position?”

As he spoke, Gao Shaojie tapped a spot on the door vein of the film.

Zheng Ren smiled but did not say anything. He only shook his head slightly.

Gao Shaojie’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

When Zheng Ren was performing the TIPS surgery, Gao Shaojie did not even look at how the recycling stent was placed. He was focused on studying the second patient’s film.

The most important part of the TIPS surgery was the puncture spot. Once the puncture spot was found, everything would be more natural.

Even if he was not as fast or good as Zheng Ren, he could at least achieve 80 points.

Gao Shaojie was already very satisfied to be able to achieve 80 points.

He combined the knowledge that Zheng Ren had just explained with his many years of clinical experience to make a judgment. He seemed to have understood the main point of Zheng Ren’s choice in regard to puncture points during TIPS surgery.

However…

Why did Zheng Ren still shake his head?
