  • by Christopher Thompson Zheng Ren documented the surgery while recalling its preoperative process. He had gained a lot from the intensive training in the System’s operating theater. Moreover, he had a feeling that the increment in his overall skill level had had some effects on certain subspecialty surgeries as well. Should he put all his savings of 930 skill points into the general surgery skill tree? After contemplating for a while, Zheng Ren decided to wait. Old Chief Physician Pan was extremely satisfied with…
  • by Christopher Thompson The live broadcast room in Xinglin Garden was barraged with ‘666’. The subsequent procedures were nothing new as they were similar to surgical wound closures in open surgeries. The battle would be over in two to three minutes. Only a few viewers stared at the operation on the screen in distress. They were veterans of this live broadcast room who had witnessed this surgeon’s idea of using protein-based surgical glue to close the subcutaneous layer, and were worried about missing any details in…
  • by Christopher Thompson There were severe adhesions around the gallbladder, wrapped in the omentum and a capsule formed by exudative inflammation, without any clear view of its anatomical structure, Zheng Ren continued making two incisions—one below the xiphoid process and another two centimeters below the costal margin on the anterior axillary line—without hesitation after observing the condition of the peritoneal cavity through the laparoscopic camera. Liu Tianxing smiled disdainfully as, in his opinion, Zheng Ren’s…
  • by Christopher Thompson Single room 303 in the special demands ward. Chief Surgeon Liu Tianxing lay quietly on the bed as Cen Meng sat by him. Neither of them said anything as they were immersed in their own trains of thought. Random dot-pixel patterns of static flickered on the television on the wall opposite them with its monotonous, dull noise lingering in the room. Chief Surgeon Liu broke the silence after a while. “The patient’s diagnosis is correct?” asked Chief Surgeon Liu in a croaky voice. “Yes.…
  • by Christopher Thompson The patient’s diagnosis was displayed in the upper right corner of Zheng Ren’s vision—chronic cholecystitis. Zheng Ren’s heart sank immediately as this was clearly a complication of acute food poisoning. The risk of complications would be minimized if the patient underwent an intravenous infusion of antibiotics for one week, but antibiotic misuse by idiotic doctors had become a trend in the country these days. There were indeed idiots among doctors. For example, there was the usage of…
  • by Christopher Thompson “Primary... Primary cell,” Cui Heming stuttered. “Yes.” The elderly professor forcefully took down the film and turned off the radiographic film viewer. “She’ll be fine after a tooth extraction.” “...” Ten thousand alpacas broke into a furious gallop in Cui Heming’s heart. The same diagnosis as the young doctor in Sea City General Hospital?! “Are... Are you sure?” asked the absent-minded Cui Heming subconsciously. “Of course I’m sure.” Despite being questioned,…
  • by Christopher Thompson Reading could increase skill points as well, but the increment was very minimal. After one whole day of revision, Zheng Ren’s skill points in the general surgery skill tree had increased from 1690 to 1690.12... Zheng Ren had no idea that the System’s skill points could go up to two decimal places. ‘When can the System assign a mission to me?’ Zheng Ren prayed eagerly. Only the System’s mission could compel Zheng Ren to consume more than twenty hours of surgical intensive training in a…
  • by Christopher Thompson The golden chain as thick as a finger dazzled against the night sky. “Doc... Doc... Doctor Zheng, I was wrong.” Black Tower had lost his usual savagery and looked incredibly pathetic after waiting for god only knew how long outside the door. Zheng Ren ignored him and asked Little Six, “Brother Six, is this your car?” An Audi Q7 was parked in front of the main entrance. Zheng Ren recognized this model, unlike Bu Li’s high-class luxury vehicle which was beyond the knowledge of the people…
  • by Christopher Thompson “Please, go ahead,” replied Zheng Ren. In order to ease future consultations with the doctor, the patient’s family members would normally try to promote a friendly relationship first by inviting him over for a meal. However, the richest man in Sea City should not worry about such an issue at all. Zheng Ren had a vague feeling that it was going to be another troublesome case. “Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Zheng.” Bu Li clapped her hands and a female assistant entered the room with a…
  • by Christopher Thompson Zheng Ren hurried back to the emergency department and saw Old Chief Physician Pan chatting with someone in the hall. They seemed very happy and laughed heartily from time to time. That person looked familiar, but who was it? It was practically impossible for Zheng Ren, who had late-stage face blindness cancer, to remember anyone unless he met that person every day. This was a fact even if he had an IQ of over 150 or a photographic memory. It was undoubtedly a SS difficulty rank to ask someone…
