Zheng Ren snuck away.
That girl should be fine, but tonight, his date with Xie Yiren was ruined again …
What a shame. Zheng Ren took out his phone as he walked.
Xie Yiren had left him a message on WeChat. She had packed up and was waiting for him in the car.
The ward was quiet. Zheng Ren quickly walked back to the emergency ward, changed his clothes, and went to the underground parking lot.
Life was a constant repetition, but the more it repeated, the more boring it became.
It was already past ten o 'clock. If it was in Imperial Capital, Chengdu, Sorcery Capital, or Shenzhen City, nightlife would start around this time.
However, for an emergency department chief resident working a flexible shift, it was inappropriate to go out at this time.
Xie Yiren was not interested in nightclubs either. She chatted happily with Zheng Ren as they drove back to their respective 'homes'.
After chatting for a while, they went to sleep on two beds not far from each other.
The night passed uneventfully.
The sun rose as usual, and life continued to repeat itself.
Breakfast, hospital visit, shift handover, ward rounds.
When he arrived at the emergency ward, Zheng Ren noticed a strange patient.
He was an old man in his eighties, healthy, with good eyesight and hearing. There were only a few geriatric diagnoses on the System panel, and none of them were acute.
However, the old man said he was not feeling well.
Old Chief Physician Pan led the ward round and explained some basic examinations and treatments, leaving the rest to Zheng Ren.
Based on his previous experience with the young couple, Zheng Ren was not in a hurry. He examined the patient's body and examination report. After confirming that his diagnosis matched the System's, he asked the emergency department doctor to put the matter aside and resolve it after his surgery.
Two slow-motion surgeries were scheduled today. One was a second-stage recyclable stent removal, and the other was a pure TIPS surgery to treat refractory ascites.
After leaving the emergency ward, Zheng Ren went to the gastroenterology department.
It was a surgeon's duty to check on the patient before surgery to avoid low-level mistakes.
Although it was a small matter, it was important.
Two people walked out of the chief's office after he entered the gastroenterology department. One was Chief Xia, and the other had graying hair at his temples.
"Little Zheng, introduce me to my classmate, Zhang. He's the deputy director of the infectious disease hospital and is in charge of clinical work," Chief Xia introduced.
"Director Zhang, nice to meet you." Zheng Ren's attitude was perfunctory. Today was a busy day. He had to visit the patient before the surgery and check on Yang Lili in the ICU. He didn't even know if he would be able to eat lunch, so where would he find the time to interact with the Dean of the Outer Court?
Even if he had the time, he would definitely not be willing.
Director Zhang smiled at Zheng Ren and extended his hand enthusiastically to shake Zheng Ren's. "Chief Zheng, I'm here to observe the surgery today."
Surgery observation?
Zheng Ren looked at Chief Xia in confusion.
"TIPS surgery hasn't been carried out in the infectious diseases hospital yet. But they have the most related patients. " Department Chief Xia smiled and said, "The patient you just treated is our classmate. When Old Zhang got the news, he rushed over to take a look."
"Chief Zheng, if you have time, do a few TIPS surgeries at the Secondary Hospital? It's a freelance surgery. You can set the price, "Director Zhang said when he saw Zheng Ren in a hurry. His eyes were wandering and he did not look at him at all.
Eighty percent of clinicians were like that.
If you want to discuss the patient's condition with him, he will be all ears. However, if you say anything else, especially before the surgery, he would be giving you face by standing there and pretending to listen.
Zheng Ren's eyes lit up when he heard that he could perform TIPS surgery.
He really did not care about the freelance surgery fee. He would be going to Imperial Capital in a few days. He believed that Department Chief Kong would not mistreat him.
However, no matter how much money he earned, it did not seem to have much to do with life.
Would Xie Yiren's parents care about an income of eighteen thousand yuan?
However, the reward for the second phase of the Crown Jewel mission was very generous, especially the experience of 3,000 radiofrequency ablation cases. It made Zheng Ren salivate.
Zheng Ren was thinking about how to complete the mission.
He did not expect it to fall on Director Zhang, who had gray hair at his temples.
"Okay. How many patients do you have?" Zheng Ren asked.
"As many as you want," Director Zhang said with a smile.
In Director Zhang's opinion, people like Zheng Ren were the easiest to deal with. This kind of junior doctor worked hard to improve his skills. As long as he provided patients, he was not afraid that Zheng Ren would not be interested in the Secondary Hospital.
The surgery fee was not a problem. The junior doctor would probably be satisfied with a consultation fee of 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.
After all, he was in the city. Did he really think that it was a freelance surgery?
The most important thing was to feed him the surgery. He had to be able to eat it.
TIPS surgery was not an appendectomy. Anyone could do it after a year or two in the hospital. Doctors without talent or a solid foundation would not dare to do it even if they looked at it for a lifetime.
Director Zhang estimated that the emergency department's Chief Zheng had been lucky enough to complete a TIPS surgery because of the emergency situation.
This was also the reason why he personally came to watch the surgery. If he could really manage to do it, he would not be stingy to give him an 'opportunity'.
Feeding him with surgery would also solve the problems of many patients. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Director Zhang's little calculations were mainly due to Zheng Ren's young age. If it were Old Chief Physician Pan standing here, he would have knelt down long ago.
Those who could perform TIPS surgery were all gods.
After a few words, Zheng Ren requested to see the patient before the surgery.
The emergency TIPS patient recovered well. The hematemesis had disappeared and there were no complications of hepatic encephalopathy.
An emergency blood ammonia test this morning was normal. Even without the removable stent, the current treatment was satisfactory.
The other patient had decompensated cirrhosis with refractory ascites. The ionic imbalance and other complications had been corrected, so there was no absolute contraindication.
The patient's family was also cooperative. Due to refractory ascites, other hospitals and Sea City General Hospital had already sentenced him to death.
Unless it was a TIPS surgery.
However, the high cost of TIPS surgery, coupled with the fact that it was out of town, left them with no choice but to wait for death.
When Chief Xia said that Sea City General Hospital could do it, but the risk was higher, the family agreed to the surgery without even listening to her.
They were going to die anyway. There was always a chance after all.
The good recovery of the hematemesis patient gave the family of the refractory ascites infinite hope.
The surgical signature was signed. Zheng Ren saw that the patient was in good condition and could undergo surgery, so he ended the patient visit.
After informing Chief Xia, he asked the gastroenterology department to send the hematemesis patient to the operating theater while he went to the ICU to see Yang Lili.

Note 1: The general hospitals in many cities were general hospitals like the People's Hospital. The Secondary Hospital was an infectious hospital that treated infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis B.
