  • by Christopher Thompson “Are you suggesting crowdfunding?” asked Zheng Ren. “Old Chief Physician Pan made a policy during the establishment of the emergency center. In some cases, the medical charges of patients can be reduced or exempted.” Chang Yue bore a flat expression with no attempt to flatter her direct superior—Zheng Ren—and added, “In the general surgery department, the surgeons will use a synthetic mesh for hernia repair, but it costs between 1000 to 2000 yuan; basically his family’s annual…
  • by Christopher Thompson Zheng Ren was left alone after the ladies happily went for their meal. Finally, some peace and quiet for more revision. He was fully aware that Rome was not built in a day. Reading books attentively offered many advantages. For example, during his intensive training in the System, how could he have come up with various creative ideas if he lacked even the basic knowledge of surgery? Wasting the System’s intensive training time was a crime! In addition, Zheng Ren had a feeling that the growth…
  • by Christopher Thompson Ding-dong... The mission completion sound was indeed heart-warming. The System’s robotic female voice was like music to Zheng Ren’s ears. [200 skill points and 10000 experience points obtained. Time used: 2 hours and 15 minutes. Additional 14100 experience points awarded. Zheng Ren was momentarily stunned. According to the System, Cen Meng must have admitted defeat, but because he had achieved a 100-percent completion rate in this surgery, Cen Meng knelt down completely and…
  • by Christopher Thompson Anxiety plagued Cen Meng as he repeatedly looked at the time on his phone. He had been imagining the perioperative procedures ever since his uncle was pushed into the operating theater. As far as he knew about Zheng Ren... Of course, given recent events, the incision and drainage of acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis should have been finished within an hour. There was nothing difficult about it, after all. The minutes ticked by and when it reached the fiftieth minute, he started texting…
  • by Christopher Thompson In the fiber-optic choledochoscope view emerged a tiny forceps-like instrument. Even though there were thousands of doctors watching the livestream, none of them could identify this device. A few comments expressing their surprise were soon suppressed. This may be a new surgical technique and was likely more advanced than endoscopic transrectal appendectomy. Perhaps this was the first appearance of a new surgical procedure. Silence hung in the air as numerous pairs of eyes stared at…
  • by Christopher Thompson The doctors in Xinglin Garden understood everything that had been done up to this point. It did not matter if they could perform the exact same procedures, but it would be humiliating if it had all been Greek to them. Doctors who had received professional training still possessed this basic quality, at least. ‘It’s time to extract the gallstones.’ Everyone had the same thought on their minds. Since the common bile duct had been incised, the next step would be gallstone extraction to…
  • by Christopher Thompson Intraoperative exploration revealed that there were no abnormal changes in the stomach and small intestine. The liver was normal in size and smooth with no irregularities or nodules commonly seen in cirrhosis. However, the gallbladder was congested and visibly edematous, and it was slightly larger than half an adult man’s fist. The swollen gallbladder looked like an inflated balloon. From its appearance alone, any iatrogenic perforation would blow this surgery sky-high. Despite their…
  • by Christopher Thompson In the emergency resuscitation room, the doctor in charge of B-scan ultrasonography had already started examining the patient. Before Zheng Ren had time to read the patient’s condition in the upper right corner of his vision, a bell rang in his ears. “Ding-dong!” Huh? A mission? Was this person suffering from a special disease? [Sudden Mission: The Opponent’s Submission. [Task: Complete surgical treatment for acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis. [Reward: 200 skill points and…
  • by Christopher Thompson “You...” Zheng Ren was slightly puzzled. He still vaguely remembered that one of these two ladies mentioned something about coming back for training. He did not expect it to be true. “We’re back,” said the twins in unison. Old Chief Physician Pan smiled and said, “Even though we don’t have EICU, they can still engage in anesthesia first. You’re lacking anesthesiologists, right?” That was true. An anesthesiologist seconded from the operating theater would not be as attentive…
  • by Christopher Thompson Old Chief Physician Pan and Little Chang chatted casually along the way. The untalkative and reserved lady did not shamelessly lick the new chief physician’s boots but held the emergency department in high regard. Every sentence was straight to the point, which pleased Old Chief Physician Pan greatly. Especially with the two recent events involving the medical administration division—the endoscopic transrectal appendectomy and nitrite poisoning, in Chang Yue’s words, Old Chief Physician Pan was…
