The Surgeon’s Studio

ng Ren and Xie Yiren rushed to the inpatient building without a second thought.

Incidentally, at the main entrance of the inpatient department, Zheng Ren passed the elderly lady from earlier who had tinnitus and dizziness.

The elderly lady’s son’s expression darkened instantly upon noticing Zheng Ren.

As he passed by, the man snarked, unintentionally or not.
“What a lousy doctor.”

“Huh?” Zheng Ren noticed them both, whom he had referred to the oral surgery department for the removal of a denture, only after hearing the man’s hostile voice.

“You didn’t get a tooth extraction?” asked Zheng Ren.

The middle-aged man lost his composure and started complaining aggressively.
“The doctor from the oral surgery department said that wasn’t the case at all.
Do you even know how to diagnose a patient? Did you think it was fun to mess around with us in the middle of the night?”

Helplessly, Zheng Ren could only smile bitterly and spread his hands in response.

The keening wail of an ambulance siren approached the hospital.

Zheng Ren was not an oral surgeon, nor could he force the patient to extract a tooth.
Unable to do anything else, he explained, “Truth be told, this is a rare condition.
You can go to Peking University Third Hospital if you’ve the chance.
They’ve better knowledge of oral medicine and surgery.”

Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren then darted to the first general surgery department.

Cen Meng, who was standing by at its corridor, started mocking as soon as he saw them.

“Chief Zheng, you’ve become more impressive after working in the emergency department.”

“Chief Cen, don’t make fun of me,” replied Zheng Ren; he had no desire to start an argument with the chief resident.
The only thing on his mind at the moment was to finish ten perfect appendectomies as soon as possible.

Cen Meng sneered upon seeing Zheng Ren’s usual ‘cowardice’.
He then approached Zheng Ren and patted his shoulder gently, just like Chief Surgeon Liu normally did.
“Chief Zheng, I’ll give you my full support even when you’re in the emergency department.
Let me know if you can’t perform the surgery later.
I’ll do it for you.”

“Thank you, Chief Cen.” Zheng Ren smiled in response, but failed to detect the murderous aura radiating from Cen Meng’s soul.

Cen Meng snickered and thought, ‘Enjoy your triumph and pride while you still can.
The acute appendicitis and pregnancy case will bring you straight to hell later.’

However, he made no attempt to inform Zheng Ren in advance, and looked forward to seeing Zheng Ren’s face when the upstart surgeon finally realized the patient was twenty-eight weeks pregnant.

Both men’s expressions turned serious as the transport stretcher trolley’s wheels rolled across the marble floor.

Spotting them, a rural medical escort running ahead of the stretcher trolley said, “The patient is here.”

He let out a sigh of relief.

“What’s the situation?” Despite being slow and woozy at the moment, Zheng Ren detected something fishy about this one.

“Acute appendicitis in pregnancy.
Twenty-eight weeks of gestation with symptoms of potential miscarriage due to abdominal ache,” explained the escort.

Soon, Zheng Ren saw the patient with her distended abdomen being wheeled into the department.

Hiss…

What a tricky case!

Acute appendicitis in pregnancy was uncommon and its current appearance in Sea City General Hospital had taken him aback.

Well, to operate or not to operate… That was the question.

It was a question that would stump even a chief surgeon of any department.

“Doctor, please save my child,” pleaded an anxious young man in his twenties, who had followed the stretcher trolley into the first general surgery department.

“Are you the patient’s family?” asked Zheng Ren.

“I’m her husband.
Doctor, please save my child,” replied the young man as he held onto Zheng Ren’s arm.

Xie Yiren frowned in disgust at the young man, who clearly cared only for the safety of his unborn child without a word about his pregnant wife; she hid in the office to stop herself from berating the irresponsible husband.

This sort of situation happened in hospitals nearly every day.

Since nothing could be done, it was better to simply escape.

Cen Meng approached Zheng Ren, who did not have that luxury to escape, and said with a wide grin, “Chief Zheng, the case is yours.
Don’t forget to ask for my help if you need anything.”
