Chapter 426: I’m Not Going Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Sea City General Hospital, at the emergency building’s operating room.

Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolf Wagner were performing a percutaneous arterial embolization. The operation went very smoothly.

Su Yun was still as lazy as ever. However, his eyes were staring at the screen without blinking. There was a strange look on his face.

Ever since Gao Shaojie entered the operating theatre and went into the CT room, he had stood still all the while, his expression turning more serious as things progressed.

Because he was considered an expert, he understood what was going on better than the Secondary Hospital doctors.

The surgeon and his a.s.sistant were awesome so of course, the surgery was awesome too.

However, it was definitely not enough to only use the word “awesome” to describe it.

He searched through his memories for surgeries he had seen when studying at Columbia University Medical Center, thinking about the ones done by top international professors.

He compared his memories to the surgery in front of him through various perspectives.

In the end, he came to a shocking conclusion.

Sea City General Hospital’s standard of liver cancer interventional treatment surgery was far more advanced than Columbia University Medical Center.

At the start, Gao Shaojie did not believe this no matter what, unwilling to admit it as a fact.

He was shuffling through his mind for countless reasons to defend Columbia University’s teachers and professors, trying to protect the pride in his heart.

However…

Anyone who had some idea of what was going on and was skilled enough would be able to tell that the level of the surgery in Sea City General Hospital’s operating theater far surpa.s.sed that of Columbia University Medical Center.

What the f*ck!

Gao Shaojie cursed in his heart. He was not scolding the surgeon operating now but simply venting the confusion in his heart.

Was this Sea City or Mayo Clinic?

If it was Mayo Clinic, he would gladly accept this fact.

After all, they were not number one in the world for no reason.

However, this was Sea City. He had been “invited” by another hospital to perform a surgery.

He did not expect to encounter such an awesome surgery taking place here.

Four tumors were feeding off the blood vessels. Each embolism was extremely difficult. In Gao Shaojie’s opinion, if he wanted to do radiofrequency ablation next, there was no need to embolize at all. He would only need to use some iodine to mark the tumor’s location.

However, the young surgeon did not think about this at all. Instead, he firmly decided to embolized all the blood vessels supplying to the tumor tissue.

No matter how tortuous removing them from the blood vessels seemed to be, he seemed unfazed in the face of this all.

The young surgeon operated the locally-manufactured guide wire that was slightly stiff and difficult to use. He advanced all the way, performing the angiography, super selection, medication, and embolization all in one go.

Gao Shaojie was stunned by what he saw.

If it was only once, it might have been because of luck.

However, the four tumors were being supplied nutrients by the blood vessels. Each of them were smoothly removed without any difficulties.

This surgery was simply too f*cking awesome!

Gao Shaojie’s face was expressionless, but there was turmoil in his heart.

Soon, the tumor tissue embolism was over. He pushed the cart to the CT room and prepared to perform the radiofrequency ablation.

w.a.n.g Qiang’s expression was skeptical as he watched from the side.

Su Yun, Chu Yanran, and Xie Yiren all went to help push the patient out of the operating room.

w.a.n.g Qiang then asked in a low voice, “Teacher Gao, why do I feel like the surgery done earlier was…far too simple?”

He racked his brain for how to phrase it but could only think of the word “simple”.

Other than “simple”, what else could he say? That it had been so well-executed? What if Teacher Gao did not feel the same way? It would just be like slapping him in the face.

w.a.n.g Qiang wanted to cling onto Gao Shaojie’s thigh. If there was any surgery he could not perform, it only took a phone call to Gao Shaojie to come over from the Provincial Capital to save the patient. It only took two hours, and the majority of the surgery usually went off without a hitch.

As such, he decided to choose a word that sounded a little over the top.

“It’s not simple.” Gao Shaojie sighed and did not bother explaining to w.a.n.g Qiang. Instead, he took out his phone and dailed a number.

“Tell the department I got injured in Sea City and can’t go back for the time being.”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a minor problem. I twisted my ankle a little. The specialist won’t be able to diagnose it until tomorrow. Well, there won’t be any surgeries this week or next so if you want to go back to your hometown then you can.”

“Okay, that’s it then. I’m hanging up.”

Hearing Gao Shaojie’s words, w.a.n.g Qiang was stunned.

In the Provincial Capital, at the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Medicine, the department directors leading the group had given them a number of hospital beds, patients, and surgeries. How many were there?

To put it simply, their brains almost popped out.

What did a hospital bed mean?

The number of patients, the number of surgeries, the department’s position, and how much money they earned.

Each of the group’s professors went out to the clinic one day a week. Today, they checked in patients to fill up the hospital beds before they were operated on next week. After that, the patients were discharged and the cycle would rinse and repeat.

Even before the New Year when the department doctors were on vacation, and the advanced students and graduate students had all gone home for the New Year, the group professors still refused to give up.

Through connections, they found people to help them as they continued working until New Year’s Eve.

w.a.n.g Qiang was that sort of person.

He was nearby the Provincial Capital. When needed, he could be reached with just a phone call.

If there was a sect in the medical world, w.a.n.g Qiang had already tied himself to Gao Shaojie’s chariot. This was a known fact.

What had happened exactly? Why were they not accepting patients? Why did they stop performing surgeries?

w.a.n.g Qiang was stunned.

Gao Shaojie did not explain anything to w.a.n.g Qiang. He took a leave of absence without hesitation. The so-called costs incurred by this were nothing in front of this surgery and the second people’s Hospital’s TIPS surgery.

His surgical skills had already reached its limits. It would be difficult for him to reach another breakthrough again.

However, the TIPS surgery and liver cancer interventional embolization surgery today had opened his mind. He vaguely saw a higher level of brilliance.

Gao Shaojie followed Zheng Ren closely.

He did not ask Zheng Ren about the operation details as the surgery was still not done. He a.s.sumed that Zheng Ren’s mind was filled the radiofrequency ablation procedures that were about to be conducted.

He would just be put into an uncomfortable spot if he asked now.

Soon, they arrived at the CT room. A few people carried Zheng Yunxia onto the bed for the CT examination.

Where was the doctor in the CT room?

After that, Gao Shaojie saw Su Yun sitting in front of the machine as he started to fiddle with it.

Oh, so this guy was a mechanic and a surgeon. No wonder his words were so harsh.

In an instant, Gao Shaojie understood.

There was no interest, and he could not earn much money. There was no hope for him to rise and he merely dawdled every day… All these labels were suddenly placed on Su Yun.

He was rather handsome. Rather than being a surgeon, it was probably better for him to be at a talent show instead.

Gao Shaojie was sure that if the extremely handsome “surgeon” in front of him went to a talent show, there was a high chance he would become famous overnight.

Was that not better than operating here?

However, this was the least of his worries, as all his attention was then focused on Zheng Ren.

Professor Rudolf Wagner was busy. However, Zheng Ren was only looked at the scans in front of the scanner.

One was a 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction.

The other was an interventional embolization scan.

The two scans were being compared side by side.

Gao Shaojie was very curious about what kind of radiofrequency ablation this young surgeon would be doing.
