Employee poaching in Old Chief Physician Pan’s presence? That was awkward. However, Professor Pei thought nothing of it as he merely had a pure love for talented students. Once young men like Zheng Ren with skills comparable to himself were placed on another high-level platform, they would be flooded with infinite opportunity for development; as the saying went, “the immense sea allows fish to leap at liberty, while the vast sky lets birds freely fly.” Even those who fell would not fall…

Unusual arteries were usually thinner and more complicated, so it was particularly difficult to superselect the designated artery on the first attempt. Arteries such as the hepatic, uterine and renal arteries were considered straight highways compared to the next artery Zheng Ren was going to superselect. The radiculomedullary artery had a very complicated network. Zheng Ren carefully worked out the dosage of the contrast medium and parsimoniously made every injection after precise analysis and…

“Just try your best and don’t be too hard on yourself,” said Old Chief Physician Pan after a few moments of hesitation. However, before he could finish, Zheng Ren had already returned to the interventional radiology suite, closing the lead door behind him and giving the crowd a smile with crinkled eyes. It was a genuine smile of trustworthiness rather than bravado. The surgery resumed. Zheng Ren reinitiated superselective catheterization. Since the hepatic artery had been superselected,…

“He’s experienced.” The professor’s praise made Old Chief Physician Pan incredibly happy. He shielded Zheng Ren from people’s anger but showed humility at the professor’s compliments. Zheng Ren was like his own son. The boy was very talented and deserving. “The superselection was well-done,” Professor Pei said a few minutes later, impressed. The guide wire moved from the hepatic to the branching artery. The path got narrower as Zheng Ren maneuvered deeper into the network of…

Chang Yue looked anxious. Her eyes searched Zheng Ren’s for answers. Su Yun finally asked out loud, “What’s wrong?” “They had an accident at the hospital entrance. Professor Pei is being sent to the emergency department,” Zheng Ren said as he rushed downstairs. Change Yue made to follow, but Zheng Ren ordered her away. In the emergency room, Zheng Ren saw Manager Feng standing at the door of Chief Physician Pan’s office, a look of despair on his face. He sped up to reach…

“Good day, Chief Zheng. This is Feng Xuhui speaking,” the voice buzzed from the phone. Zheng Ren could hear his youth cracking through. “What did Professor Pei say?” “He is up for it. I have already booked the flight for tomorrow. He should reach Sea City at 1.30 pm,” Manager Feng said cheerfully. “Good. Thank you for your help.” Zheng Ren was relieved. All was going well. Zheng Ren had worried the Sorcery Capital professor’s schedule was full. A delay of one or two weeks…

It took twelve minutes to travel from the operating room on the third floor to the emergency department ward on the second floor. The patient was lifted onto the hospital bed. Zheng Ren breathed a sigh of relief. The sky was already dark. Two to three hours for an appendectomy that he did not perform. It dissatisfied him somewhat. Chang Yue was typing up the first-time admission record, the ward round record, the post-surgery record and other paperwork. “Be wary of the patient’s family,”…

Zheng Ren was numb from disappointment. After the nurses checked her vital signs and completed their laborious preparation, Zheng Ren went to look for the patient’s son. As silence was the norm in the wards, he could not shout out for the young man. If he raised his voice, some old grandfather could suffer a heart attack. He suspected the man might not even hear him if he shouted. When Su Yun came down and found Zheng Ren and Chang Yue only halfway done with the informed consent documents,…

The rest of the morning was uneventful. In the afternoon, Zheng Ren received a call about a patient in the emergency department that required his attention. He rushed to the emergency department. The patient awaiting him for consultation was a middle-aged woman with a provisional diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The System confirmed the diagnosis. There was nothing left to do but to admit her to the ward. Whether she would undergo emergency surgery tonight, or do so tomorrow to ensure…

Su Yun, lunchbox in hand, smiled at Zheng Ren’s diligence. “You were indeed born to be a chief resident.” “I’ve nothing to do at home, anyway. Besides, it’s better to be ready for emergency cases and potential emergency surgery in the hospital.” Zheng Ren stood, accepted the lunchbox and walked to the on-call room. “What’s your purpose in life?” Su Yun was obviously trying to mock him. “Perform surgery, earn money, raise a family and make ends meet. Are there any other…
