Chapter 515: Was Several Stories High
Zheng Ren’s hand paused for a moment.
Sister Zhao noticed Zheng Ren’s hand and did not understand.
Within the medical circle, was it not normal for someone to ask another to treat a patient? Why did Zheng Ren seem to have something on his mind when he mentioned Teacher Gao from the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University?
However, Sister Zhao did not say anything and waited for Zheng Ren.
“Sister Zhao, let me tell you something.” Zheng Ren only paused for a moment before he got a hold of himself and continued with the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction. “I’m very good at interventional treatment for liver cancer.”
“How good?” Sister Zhao was a little unhappy, but it was not good for her to have an episode. While she answered Zheng Ren pa.s.sively, she was thinking about who she should contact, the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University, Beijing, or Shanghai.
“It’s several stories high,” Zheng Ren said with a smile. “If you want to contact the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University, it definitely won’t be a problem. But…if you want to go there, you might as well stay at Sea City General Hospital and let me do the surgery.”
Sister Zhao was speechless in her heart.
d.a.m.n, it was easy for young people to become arrogant. How long had he been the hospital’s Chief Resident? He was already saying that his standard was higher than the professors at the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University?
Zheng Ren did not hear sister Zhao’s reply. He sighed in his heart and stopped operating the machine temporarily. He took out his phone and found Gao Shaojie’s number to make a call.
He made sure to put the phone on speaker mode before he continued the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction so that no time would be wasted.
“Sister Zhao, I’ll contact Teacher Gao right away. Bed s.p.a.ce will not be a problem. You can be hospitalized whenever you’re available,” Zheng Ren said immediately.
‘Hm, he’s finally starting to make sense,’ Sister Zhao thought to herself. However, he was still young. Would it be so easy for him to find a hospital bed in the Provincial Capital?
The phone’s beeping sound accompanied Zheng Ren as he did his work. After five or six beeps, Gao Shaojie answered the call.
“h.e.l.lo, Teacher Zheng.” Gao Shaojie’s voice bounced off the walls of the CT operating room.
Sister Zhao was stunned.
It was within Sister Zhao’s expectations that Zheng Ren would address Gao Shaojie as Teacher Gao. However, why would Professor Gao of the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University address Zheng Ren as Teacher Zheng?
Was it not the other way around?
Moreover, Gao Shaojie’s tone was filled with surprise and…nervousness?
Why would he be nervous when talking to Zheng Ren?
She was not a fool. Sister Zhao could hear the silent, unspoken meanings behind Gao Shaojie’s words.
These mixed signals seemed to contradict each other like a tidal wave, making her surge with questions.
“h.e.l.lo, Teacher Gao.” Zheng Ren said absent-mindedly while operating the machine to get Li Chen’s scans. “I have a patient here I need a bed for in your hospital. I’ll get them to look for you.”
After hearing Zheng Ren say this, Sister Zhao was immediately dumbfounded.
The Provincial Capital was very close to Sea City. Many patients used various connections to go to the Provincial Capital to see a doctor. Although Sister Zhao was only a member of the auxiliary department, she also had her connections for stuff like this.
The doctors and even the Director of Sea City General Hospital were all courteous toward other directors and professors from the Provincial Capital.
After all, they would usually be requesting help. Being polite usually helped them leave a good impression on everyone else. It was common for people to not show their true colors no matter what.
However, Zheng Ren seemed to be speaking in such a demanding tone. Was he trying to court death?
“Ah?” Gao Shaojie’s puzzled voice came from Zheng Ren’s loudspeaker.
Sister Zhao’s heart clenched. It seemed that Teacher Gao was unhappy.
“Teacher Zheng, you’re not joking, right?” Gao Shaojie then asked in puzzlement. “You want me to do the surgery? Wouldn’t it be more… I got it! This is for someone else, right?”
“Yes, it’s for an acquaintance of mine. You saw her last time when she came to do the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction. A neighbor of hers wants to visit Sea City General Hospital for a checkup but she’s afraid that people might talk,” Zheng Ren answered subconsciously.
“Okay, I’ll make sure that they have s.p.a.ce here. You can just let me know when you’re coming over,” Gao Shaojie answered happily.
Sister Zhao was dumbstruck.
What was the last part of his statement that Teacher Gao had left hanging?
Was it better to stay in Sea City for the surgery? Could it be that Chief Zheng’s skill level was even better than Teacher Gao’s?
Could it be that his surgical skills were really that far advanced from most?
That seemed impossible!
“Well, that’s it then. The patients during the TIPS surgery are still in a stable condition, right?” Zheng Ren asked.
“They’re all doing well, Teacher Zheng. When will you have time to perform the surgery’s second stage for each of the patients? Oh right, I also remembered that I have booked six patients on this side as well for you. I estimate that I can still take in three to five more patients for my specialist consultation tomorrow. When’s your next available date so I can go through all of this with you?” Gao Shaojie’s tone became more and more humble.
Sister Zhao was visualizing Gao Shaojie on the other side of the phone, his old waist unconsciously bending as he talked to Zheng Ren.
Was that necessary…
Sister Zhao was very confused.
“Then I’ll leave it there first, Teacher Gao. I’ll end the call here since I’m doing a 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction at the moment.”
“Okay, I’ll bring all the patients in. After that, you can see when you’re available. Sorry to trouble you, Teacher Zheng,” said Gao Shaojie.
“No worries, I’m hanging up.” Zheng Ren’s right pinky gently swiped the screen during the operation process and hung up the call. His speed and efficiency were not affected by this action at all.
“Sister Zhao, I’m done contacting them,” Zheng Ren said to sister Zhao as he did the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction. “Tell the patient’s family that they can go at any time. Just let me know in advance or tell the hospital that they were recommended by me.”
“Uh…” Sister Zhao was still speechless.
They were all veterans, but when had they ever seen a doctor from Sea City arrange for patients to go to the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University as if it were their main hospital?
Usually, the professors from the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University would agree to take in the patient even if they did not have a close relations.h.i.+p with the doctor. However, it would take at least one to two days for them to arrange an available slot for them.
However, for Zheng Ren, the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University told him that they would reserve a bed for him. From the looks of it, that slot would remain empty even if the patient decided not to admit themselves into the hospital.
What was this impossibility!
Although the number of beds in the First Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University was not as tight as the Imperial City and Shanghai, they would usually not be so accommodating to last-minute arrangements.
Leaving a bed aside just to wait for a patient…
Sister Zhao felt extremely flattered.
When had she ever gotten such treatment?
“Sister Zhao, I still want to say that it would be better if you stayed here to do it. However, I do understand the complications that would arise from it. Anyway, you can take a look. Everything should be alright, regardless.” After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he continued to do the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction.
Sister Zhao was also a little puzzled. She nodded and stood up, taking her phone with her as she walked outside and started to contact her neighbor.
Zheng Ren had said everything that he needed to say, but it was not his decision to make.
For things like finding someone to treat a patient, the bigger the hospital, the better their reputation was. If Sister Zhao needed it, Zheng Ren could also contact a hospital in the Capital.
However, Sister Zhao did not say anything. She had mentioned Gao Shaojie, so Zheng Ren did not have to worry about pulling more strings.
Recalling the hospital in the Capital, Zheng Ren remembered that Old Chief Physician Pan had told him to contact Chief Kong more often in the future.
‘After I finish the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction, I’ll give Chief Kong a call,’ Zheng Ren thought to himself.
