“Thank you, Chief Zheng.” Gao Shaojie’s voice was very soft but his sincerity could be felt.

The selfless spirit in Zheng Ren’s words made Gao Shaojie feel extremely small.

“You’re welcome, Teacher Gao.” Zheng Ren smiled and said, “Since you’re from the Provincial Capital, there will definitely be a lot of places for you to hone your skills in the future.”

“Chief Zheng, you are too kind.” Gao Shaojie did not say anything.

He understood that if Zheng Ren really taught him how to do TIPS surgery step by step, they would have the relations.h.i.+p of master and disciple in everything but name.

These words were kept in his heart. There was no need for him to say them out loud.

The more pa.s.sionate the person was, the more they would cower in such a situation.

After Chang Yue finished recording his medical history, the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction was next. Zheng Ren and the others brought the patient in for a check-up.

The patient was an 82-year-old male. He was of Slavonic descent. He had a heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and a series of old age diseases. All of them were serious.

The patient prepared by Professor Rudolf Wagner was the best candidate for prostate embolism surgery.

Such a patient could not even take a plane.

A change in air pressure could directly cause the patient to die from high blood pressure or a heart disease.

Therefore, no matter how anxious professor Rudolph Wagner was, he could only allow the patient to travel across Asia by train to Sea City, a small city in the East, to receive treatment.

Oliver pushed the wheelchair around and carefully followed the group of people.

He looked around curiously.

Originally, Oliver was silently criticizing them for bringing in an aging patient on the brink of death to the East for surgery.

This must have been a brainless decision made by Professor Rudolf Wagner.

Well, he only dared to think about it in his heart and not say it aloud.

Professor Rudolf Wagner had a strong artistic aura, learning violin up to a professional level. But in the Heidelberg Medical Center, if he was not happy, he would roar like a lion and no one would want to provoke him.

But when he reached the East and came to this small city, Oliver found that his entire perception had been overturned.

That irritable professor seemed to no longer exist… Well, he was still there. It just seemed that when he was around that group of Asians, the professor’s temper was particularly good. He was filled with joy and relaxation, and perhaps even a hint of flattery?

It was really strange. This was not Mayo Clinic. Why would professor Rudolf Wagner be like this?

Even if it was Mayo Clinic, he would not have changed so much.

Moreover, the professor forced him to learn Mandarin, which made Little Oliver very distressed.

Not everyone was like the professor, who was extremely proficient in languages. Learning a brand new language in a short period of time made Little Oliver’s world become gloomy, like the muddy grounds of Sixth Street in Heidelberg after a heavy rain.

Soon, everyone arrived at the CT room.

It was almost noon. Except for the emergency machine being worked by the person on duty, the operators of the other machines were already getting ready to get off work.

Su Yun found Sister Zhao and went to the innermost operating room.

Sister Zhao was a little surprised. After all, in a place like Sea City, there were not many opportunities to diagnose and treat international patients. Rather than not many, there were practically none at all.

She asked Su Yun in a low voice, “Su Yun, what’s going on?”

“The professor wants to ask the boss to do a surgery. Germany is so far away so who wants to go there? The WiFi signal isn’t good at all. You know, they read books on the subway and don’t use their phones because there’s no WiFi signal down there,” Su Yun joked with a smile.

“Don’t lie to me. They’re eager to learn here,” sister Zhao reprimanded. “So now he’s here for the surgery?”

“Of course. The boss’s surgical skills are among the best in the world.”

“Cheh! Su Yun, you’re becoming ruder nowadays. The best in the world is living in Sea City? What a joke. Tell me what’s going on.”

“Sister, it’s true. I’m not lying to you.”

“Hmph…” Sister Zhao glared at Su Yun, thinking that he was not being serious at all.

They came to the room where the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction was being performed. There was still one patient who was not done, so they had to wait for their turn.

Professor Rudolf Wagner was so anxious that he could not sit still. He paced up and down the corridor with long golden hair fluttering about. He looked as if he was about to shatter the void and become an immortal.

Zheng Ren sat quietly on the hard, red plastic chair outside the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction room. As he waited, he recalled the entire procedure for the prostate interventional embolization in his mind.

When he was performing the surgery in the Capital, he was still at the grandmaster level. Now, from the perspective of a Master, there was much to fix about his previous methods.

There were many parts that could be more precise so that the patient would have fewer side effects.

That way, the patient would recover faster after the surgery.

As he was thinking this, a conversation could be heard from the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction room.

“Doctor, my mother has led a difficult life so please make sure that she’s alright.”

“Don’t worry, everything will be alright.”

This was an unusual conversation between the patient’s family and the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction operator.

Although the conversation was uncommon, it was still within reason. Therefore, Zheng Ren did not pay attention to it. In the hospital, there were many similar things like this, so he had long turned a blind eye to them.

Another man’s voice said, “Doctor, we have not had a father figure in my life since young. It was our mother who brought us up. Please, please, please make sure that she’s okay.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll do our best,” said the operator. “Since she’s old and the CT scan bed is quite high, be careful to make sure that she doesn’t slip off. One of you should stay here to make sure that she’s alright. Otherwise, you can both stay inside if you want. With more people, you can all help each other.”

There was a sudden silence in the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction room.

This silence carried a hint of awkwardness and embarra.s.sment.

Zheng Ren suddenly thought of the patient who accused him of not forcing him to be hospitalized. The corners of his mouth curled into a helpless smile.

Although there was silence in the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction room, Zheng Ren did not need to listen to the conversation to predict what was going to happen next.

“Why aren’t you here with me? Don’t you know that this thing emits radiation? You definitely know that. You left me here on purpose, didn’t you? What kind of bulls.h.i.+t is this? Do you practice good medical ethics?”

“We have protective clothing here. I’ll help you put it on. The radiation dosage is not high…”

“Bullsh*t! If it’s nothing, why don’t you go in!” Another family member shouted.

His att.i.tude was completely different from before. It was as if he had become a completely different person.

The moment he started shouting, the operator also became angry.

“I’ll watch from inside. You do the check-up!” With that retort, the two family members stopped moving around.

There was an extremely awkward silence.

After a few seconds, one of the family members said, “It’s fine, doctor.”

“Yeah,” The other family member responded. “I think the bed is quite wide. Mother can lie down just fine. It’s alright.”

“That’s right. How much radiation is there here? It’s easy to get cancer. Well, doctor, the two of us will leave first. You have to make sure to check my mother properly. Life hasn’t been easy for her.”
