Stunned, Zheng Ren turned around to look.
He instinctively assumed that one of the big shots had entered the room with him, but he was too tired to notice.
However, when he turned around, he saw Su Yun's head lowered, his black hair wet with sweat and sticking to his forehead. He looked slightly disheveled.
What was going on?
Zheng Ren was stunned. Then, he heard a voice say, "Doctor Zheng, thank you for your hard work."
Huh? Talking to him? It couldn't be!
Even then, Zheng Ren still did not realize that the applause in the demonstration room was for him.
What kind of people were sitting in this room? They were all big shots in the field of interventional radiology. Why would they be clapping for him?
He must have misunderstood.
As Zheng, he would definitely not be so narcissistic. After all, he was not Su Yun.
"Say something," Su Yun whispered behind him while he was still in a daze.
"…" Zheng Ren would not feel so tired even if he had to perform another surgery.
A room full of white-haired old professors stood up and welcomed him with a smile. Why was this scene so surreal?
"Doctor Zheng, you must be tired. Come in and have a seat." Li Haitao reacted quickly. Seeing Zheng Ren's dazed expression, he knew that the young doctor had not experienced such a scene before and was probably lost in thought.
As the person who had saved the day, he immediately came forward and shook Zheng Ren's hand.
The moment he touched Zheng Ren's hand, Li Haitao's expression changed.
"Doctor Zheng, do you have a fever?" Li Haitao sensed that something was wrong with Zheng Ren. His skin temperature was rising and his palms were clammy with sweat.
Exhausted, Zheng Ren said weakly, "I'm fine. I just caught a cold."
"It was 38.6 degrees in the morning. It's 39 degrees now," Su Yun said from behind.
"…" Li Haitao was stunned for a moment. Could it be that Zheng Ren's surgery had been performed under the condition of a high fever?
Professor Gu came to Zheng Ren's side and asked with concern, "Little Zheng, are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine." Zheng Ren forced a smile. "It's just a common cold, nothing serious."
"You were injured yesterday. Did the wound get infected?" Professor Gu asked.
"No, Brother Zhao changed my dressing this morning and said I'm fine," Zheng Ren replied.
Jin Yaowu, Mu Tao, and the others stood in the demonstration room in a daze.
Professor Gu had arrived earlier. While waiting for Zheng Ren, he chatted with the other professors he was familiar with and recounted what had happened the day before.
The day before yesterday, there was a vicious case in the outpatient department of the hospital. A cardiothoracic surgeon was seriously injured.
Since Fang Lin was not a doctor from the same family and was not familiar with Fang Lin, many of the professors and disciples present did not visit him. Instead, they reposted the Weibo post and expressed their anger.
This matter actually had something to do with Doctor Zheng? According to Professor Gu, his shoulder was injured?
Even Professor Pei, who knew that Zheng Ren had participated in the rescue, only had a rough idea of what had happened.
When they heard the news, their indignation faded. It was as if countless sharp arrows had pierced through the self-esteem of Jin Yaowu, Mu Tao, and the others.
How could he have surgery with an injured shoulder?
Moreover, it wasn't an ordinary surgery. It was much more difficult than ordinary surgeries. He had to wear a lead apron that weighed dozens of kilograms and perform a more delicate interventional surgery!
How was this possible?
However, they also knew that Professor Gu would not lie, and there was no reason for him to.
Mu Tao finally understood why the surgeon's operation was slightly sluggish, yet he was able to overcome countless obstacles.
Then …
It was because his shoulder had been injured by the assailants the day before yesterday!
The pride that he had accumulated for decades crumbled in an instant. He was not even disappointed, his mind blank.
Jin Yaowu refused to believe it, but the bulge on the left side of Zheng Ren's shoulder proved that it had been bandaged.
He was not stupid. Of course, he would not doubt Professor Gu's words.
However, his burning desire to win was unbearable. He had to work harder. Jin Yaowu clenched his fists and found a direction to strive for.
Old Wu was familiar with Professor Gu and was very interested in the young doctor after learning about what had happened the day before.
He walked to Zheng Ren's side and patted his uninjured shoulder, praising, "Doctor Zheng, I didn't expect you to be so good at emergency rescue."
"I … I'm a general surgeon and currently the emergency department's chief resident. It's only natural that I'm familiar with emergency rescue." Zheng Ren smiled humbly out of habit.
Even Wu Haishi was taken aback by what he saw.
Professor Pei Yingjie had interacted with Zheng Ren before, so it was understandable that he had expected this. However, everyone else was dumbfounded.
The doctor who had dominated the entire field with his interventional surgery skills was not an interventional surgeon, but a general surgeon … and now he was in the emergency department …
What kind of nonsense was this?
What happened to the technical specialization?
Didn't they say that the wooden barrel theory no longer existed?
Jin Yaowu's face darkened when he heard Zheng Ren's words.
How could he be outdone by a general surgeon? It would have been fine if it was general surgery. However, he was inferior to a general surgeon in interventional surgery!
Mu Tao was stunned as well. Zheng Ren's focused back in the CT room that day appeared in his mind.
Was there a need for a general surgeon and a chief resident of the emergency department to be so focused on imaging?
Wasn't the ICU supposed to clean up the mess of the hospital and the hospital for the emergency department?
How could he …
Mu Tao was the most shocked. He had thought that after watching the live broadcast of Xinglin Garden's interventional surgery and learning the three-position reconstruction under Old Wu's supervision, his skill tree would be filled to the brim and he would win easily.
However, he did not lose to Jin Yaowu. Instead, he lost to a guy from a small city whose name he did not even know … a general surgeon and a junior chief resident in the emergency department.
"You guys handle this. Just let Zheng Ren know if there are any results." Professor Gu stopped the others. "I'll bring Zheng Ren to change his dressing. It'll be terrible if the wound gets infected."
The other professors would show respect to a professor of the same rank, especially when Professor Gu's words were reasonable. Most importantly, Professor Gu's gratitude was irrefutable.
The young man was interesting. The professors who were initially dissatisfied with their students and apprentices forgot about the outcome and began to pay attention to Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren was still in a daze when Professor Gu dragged him out of the classroom and toward the inpatient department.
"Seriously, don't you know you have a fever? Why are you here for surgery? "Professor Gu grumbled as he walked.
"I'm fine. After a few surgeries, I sweated a little and feel much better," Zheng Ren explained with a smile.
Su Yun followed behind expressionlessly. He could not understand why the man in front of him was like an insurmountable mountain that he could not surpass.
