The next day, a smile appeared on Xie Yiren's face as she watched Zheng Ren get better.
"Zheng Ren, Sister Tang wanted to see you but I stopped her." Xie Yiren sat on the bed and peeled an apple for Zheng Ren.
"Well, don't bring too many people. It's tiring to watch," Zheng Ren said as he lay on the bed.
"There are ten minutes left. Sister Tang said that the CTV news channel is going to broadcast a documentary about you. There are many episodes and today is the first one. "
"Documentary?" Zheng Ren was a little confused. He had not been interviewed. Where would the documentary come from?
"You'll know when you see it." Xie Yiren handed the apple to Zheng Ren and said with a smile, "Eat slowly."
Zheng Ren happily ate the apple. He saw Xie Yiren take out a tablet and connect it to a hotspot to find the CTV news channel.
Soon, the commercial ended and the documentary began.
Zheng Ren watched the screen change curiously, wondering what kind of documentary it was.
"Sister Tang said that she interviewed the people around you. At that time, she wanted to interview me, but I refused," Xie Yiren said.
"Well, who did they interview?" Zheng Ren asked.
"A lot of people. I heard there were even patients who watched the surgery live." Xie Yiren helped Zheng Ren sit up and let him lean in her arms. She reached out and touched his forehead.
"The fever is gone," Zheng Ren said.
"Still, you have to be careful." Xie Yiren pulled a coat and covered Zheng Ren's body, afraid that he would catch a cold.
Zheng Ren felt like he was being taken care of like a child. Although it was a little strange, it was a good feeling.
Snuggling in her arms, Zheng Ren changed to a more comfortable position. This was the only way to live a meaningful life. Sometimes, being sick was not all bad.
"Zheng Ren, the news channel has been talking about you for the past two days. I've downloaded them," Xie Yiren said. "Keep them."
"There will be more in the future. You'll have to buy a big hard drive," Zheng Ren said with a smile.
"Well, when we're old, it'll be like watching a black-and-white movie to watch you on TV now."
Old … The word made Zheng Ren feel a little lost.
While he was still in a daze, the documentary began to play.
A female voice slowly began to narrate.
[Among the medical staff known as' angels in white ', there is a slightly special group — the people in lead suits.]
The background of the opening scene was black and white. It was not the festive sound of gongs and drums that Zheng Ren had imagined.
Sun Zeli and Tang Xiu made this? This scene alone was enough to pique his interest.
[They're not just interventional doctors. They're also located in the circulatory department, the vascular department, the neurosurgery department, and the orthopedics department.]
[Due to the special nature of their work, they have to wear lead aprons that weigh dozens of kilograms every day and work in the catheter room where the angiography machine radiates X-rays.
He holds the guide wire and catheter in his hands and carefully removes the patient's disease, while he himself is being eroded by the radiation. Therefore, he is also known as the man in lead.] (Note 1)
On the screen, the back of a doctor gradually became clear. After the surgery, he tore off the sterile clothes on his body and threw them into the bucket of medical waste. He wore a blue lead apron that was as thick as armor.
The doctor did not turn around. Instead, he walked to the other side of the interventional radiology room.
He took off his lead apron and hung it on an iron rack with a specially made apron.
The simple iron rack, made of steel bars as thick as a finger, swayed slightly as the lead apron was hung on. The image gradually became blurry. Only the heavy lead apron and the lead skirt swayed clearly.
[An Italian study published in the sub-journal Circulation showed that more skin damage, neck, back, and knee pain, as well as cataracts occur. Moreover, the longer they stay in the catheter room, the worse their health condition.]
The background noise came again. The color of the lead apron faded, and the image became black and white again.
[The project that Dr. Zheng Ren won the Nobel Prize for — improved TIPS surgery, a type of interventional surgery. In order to improve this surgical procedure that benefits millions of patients with advanced cirrhosis, he has to wear a lead apron that weighs dozens of kilograms every day.]
The black and white image strongly outlined the lead apron that weighed dozens of kilograms. It weighed heavily on people's hearts.
[They use their own health in exchange for the health of other strangers. They have no regrets.]
The image changed, and Zhou Chunyong appeared on the screen. The color returned to normal. It was a sunny afternoon.
"I'm Zhou Chunyong, the chief of the Department of Hepatobiliary Interventional Surgery in Imperial Capital."
"I first met Boss Zheng. Let me think … Oh, I watched the live broadcast of the surgery. After there was something about the improved TIPS surgery, I took the initiative to look for Boss Zheng."
"Is there a need to say that? You might think that a surgical method is nothing, but do you know how many hepatitis B patients there are? There are 300 million people in the world, and 120 million people in our country. Hepatitis B, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, large amounts of ascites with hematemesis, and the death toll is in the hundreds of thousands every year. "
"Of course there's no good way. The surgery has portal-azygos disconnection, and the surgery is very risky."
"What? You're asking about the role of TIPS surgery? Let me put it this way. In the past, I came into contact with TIPS surgery a few months later than Professor Xu Ke. It could be said that I was one of the first people in the country to do it. Before watching the live broadcast of the surgery, I took at least two hours to complete each TIPS surgery. "
"Of course it's difficult. Otherwise, why are so many doctors still thinking about improving the surgical method of TIPS surgery? Mayo has done some research and can control the number of punctures to less than five. However, Boss Zheng's surgeries almost never fail. I was dumbfounded when I first saw it. "
Zhou Chunyong's slightly arrogant and domineering brows suddenly became docile when he said the words' Boss Zheng '. His tone was also much gentler, full of respect and even admiration.
"A successful puncture is all imagination. In the past, I thought that this was an extremely low probability thing. Before this, I had performed more than a thousand TIPS surgeries, and no more than five of them were successful in one go. "
"They even had to be punctured many times, and the liver was a mess from the puncture. It's not uncommon for the surgery to fail. If they really can't get in, what can they do? "
"After watching the live broadcast of the surgery, my first thought was, is this thing real or fake? Do you know that academic fraud is very common? "
"Don't broadcast this part. Didn't they say that there's no fraud in the country or internationally? Don't you know that people with an alkaline constitution are not prone to cancer? "
"Is that right? The final judgment of an acid-base constitution does not exist at all. Don't broadcast that part just now. Now, let's start again. "
"The academic community has its own rules. My first thought was, isn't this destroying the soil of the academic community? Researching and improving a new surgical method, if the surgeon does not get any benefits, who would research it? They would all wait at home to eat ready-made food. "
"Why are there imitations in India? They are willing to do human drug experiments, but how many people have died is still a mystery. There should be corresponding benefits for the amount of effort, right? At first, I contacted Boss Zheng doubtfully to see what was going on. "
"Later, Boss Zheng was invited by me to perform two surgeries. The hemostatic forceps hurt a lot."
"What? Typhoon? Nonsense, don't listen to those people's nonsense. Don't broadcast this part. In private, it's all nonsense from people who can't eat the grapes and say that the grapes are sour. I've been hit by Boss Zheng before. Look at what I'm saying! "
Zhou Chunyong's eyes narrowed, and his domineering gaze was full of disdain.
"It's teaching. How can you learn in the shortest time without hitting it twice? In the past, the teachers in private schools all had rulers to beat their hands. If you can't learn it, you can hit it twice. It's more useful than anything else. "
"Boss Zheng is so busy. It's a good thing that he can be hit for two surgeries. Not to mention others, I don't have many opportunities to be hit, but my level has increased. The TIPS surgery now has a 90% chance of being completed with one needle. "
"Compared to the previous surgery, it's completely different. Boss Zheng's surgical level is high. It's impossible to not be convinced. "
"Huh? What do you mean by that? The other surgeries must also be very good. I heard that during the earthquake relief, Boss Zheng performed surgery in Pengxi Village. An interventional embolization surgery for a pelvic fracture only took 15 minutes. "
"Hey, Reporter Sun, cut the words that I accidentally said just now. Don't broadcast it."
Zhou Chunyong chuckled and said, "It's only right that Boss Zheng can win the Nobel Prize. Every year, at least hundreds of thousands of patients survive because of the new TIPS surgery. If this kind of surgery can't win the Nobel Prize, I really don't know who else can. "
After saying that, his figure gradually became blurry. The light and shadow changed, and then gradually became clear.
A thin man appeared in front of the camera.
