This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 200: The Nameless Ones!
When Lu Cheng arrived in Jilin City, it was nearly 10:30.

Lu Cheng didn't receive any more phone calls along the way.

After arriving at the parking lot of the State People's Hospital and parking his car, Lu Cheng was momentarily at a loss as to who to contact.

After getting off the bus, Lu Cheng looked around and then dialed the landline number he had called earlier.

After ringing a few times, the call was answered: "Hello."

Lu Cheng asked directly, "Hello teacher, I am Lu Cheng from Longxian People's Hospital. I have now arrived at the State People's Hospital in Jishi. Where should I go next?"

"Lu Cheng? What Lu Cheng?" A strange voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Cheng patiently explained, "This morning, this number called and asked me to come to Jishi from Longxian County."

"Who sent you to Jilin City?" the other person asked.

“Someone called Teacher Yao, I didn’t ask for their name,” Lu Cheng replied.

"Yao Shuhua? Okay, wait a moment, let me ask him what's going on. I just arrived recently too!" The person on the other end of the phone replied politely.

"Okay." Lu Cheng held his phone quietly, waiting for a reply.

The other party did not hang up the phone, but picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. After a while, he picked up the landline again: "Dr. Lu Cheng, right? If you are at the State People's Hospital now, I'll give you a phone number so you can contact him."

"Yes, I'm listening, please go ahead, sir."

The person on the phone, “153XXXXXXXX,” gave a number: “This is the phone number of a doctor at Xiangzhou People’s Hospital. Please contact him. We’re quite busy right now.”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, teacher." Although Lu Cheng didn't know exactly what the other person was busy with, he preferred to believe that the other person was really busy.

After the other party decisively hung up the phone, Lu Cheng finally managed to contact the person he needed to reach.

After dialing the number again, the person on the other end finally learned who Lu Cheng was and told Lu Cheng to wait downstairs in the surgical building, and that he would arrange for someone to pick him up immediately.

Ten minutes later, Lu Cheng saw a middle-aged doctor wearing the scrubs from the operating room coming downstairs: "Are you Dr. Lu?"

"It's me, Director Song."

"I contacted you by phone before."

Lu Cheng immediately asked, "What's the specific situation now?"

The visitor was Song Daoneng, associate chief physician of hepatobiliary surgery. He was wearing a mask and a surgical cap and turned around quickly: "The situation is okay. We contacted Professor Chen Song of Xiangya No. 2 Hospital as soon as possible."

"Currently, it is highly likely that the spleen will be saved, but Professor Tong said that if you can take the stage, the corresponding risks will be smaller."

"Dr. Lu, come with me to the operating room to wash your hands and get on the operating table."

“Okay!” Lu Cheng nodded and followed behind Song Daoneng, then asked, “Director Song, could you tell me who’s in the operating room right now?”

"Hey, it's just Professor Chen Song. We were going to ask someone from Xiangya Hospital, but it's too far away, and the professors there are very busy, so they really can't spare the time."

"We won't be able to leave from the hospital until 11 o'clock."

"Later, a professor was urgently summoned from Xiangya Third Hospital in the province, and now the high-speed train is only getting to Huai City."

"Fortunately, Professor Chen stepped forward and has solved most of the problems."

At this point, Song Daoneng added cryptically, "However, someone has relayed the patient's basic information to the Kyoto Hospital."

"Kyoto Hospital?" Lu Cheng really didn't know what Kyoto Hospital was.

Song Daoneng was just a doctor at the state people's hospital. How could he possibly understand the special status of the Kyoto Hospital? He replied, "Well, it's about consulting with a top-tier hospital. Actually, I don't know much about it either."

The two quickly entered the operating room. After changing into a full suit of scrubs, Lu Cheng washed his hands at the sink at the entrance of the operating room before stepping open the door to the sterile operating room.

The operating room was crowded with people, mostly middle-aged or older people over forty.

Song Daoneng said, "Director Yao, Professor Chen, and Dr. Lu Cheng have arrived."

Chen Song's voice came from the crowd: "Xiao Lu, hurry up and get on stage."

Lu Cheng replied, "Okay, Teacher Chen, I'm getting dressed."

"There's no rush. The patient's vital signs have stabilized. His condition is a splenic contusion and laceration with a longitudinal incision."

“I have already done hemostasis and debridement. The innermost wound is difficult to suture. I have talked with several colleagues at Kyoto Hospital, and we originally planned to perform partial resection.”

"But after I assessed it, I realized that it might not need to be cut. However, sewing it together would be a bit difficult."

After saying this, Chen Song pointed in a certain direction and said, "Dr. Zhou, could you please call Professor Xing at Kyoto Hospital again? I need to speak with him again."

Zhou Lü, a senior attending physician in general surgery, nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, Professor Chen."

While Lu Cheng was putting on his protective clothing and gloves, Chen Song had already started discussing with Professor Xing, whom Lu Cheng had never met before: "Professor Xing, according to the current injury grading, the patient's score is indeed AAST level four!"

"However, the course of the lobar artery and the segmental artery is still relatively good, so I plan to try to preserve them and avoid cutting them if possible."

"What do you think?"

Professor Xing must have talked with Chen Song quite a few times before: "Professor Chen, I just watched the suturing video you sent me carefully. The suturing techniques you have are indeed quite impressive."

“The spleen is a solid organ, and the main concern after rupture is ischemic necrosis.”

"The indications and operating model for regular resection are to perform resection according to the ischemic line, mainly by ligating the segmental artery. It is more suitable for grade III regional injuries."

"but?"

"Professor Chen, you can try it first. I haven't used this technique before, but from what I've seen, based on the basic principles of spleen preservation, it should be quite suitable for spleen injuries!"

As Professor Xing spoke, Lu Cheng had already approached the operating table. Chen Song said, "Professor Xing, there is currently no complete definition for spleen-preserving surgery, but our specialist understanding is that we choose the surgical method that can preserve spleen function to the greatest extent possible, based on the degree of spleen damage, the patient's age, and medical conditions!"

"To be honest, this suturing technique of mine was developed by this young man next to me. Let him explain it to you."

Chen Song gave Lu Cheng a meaningful look.

Lu Cheng first reviewed the surgical field of view, and after a while said, "Teacher Chen, the patient's bleeding is currently very dry, and the ischemic and necrotic tissue in the spleen has been completely removed. Under these circumstances, suturing between the spleen segments can be performed."

"If necessary, a large omentum sheet can be used for precise and effective suturing."

Professor Xing heard a rather young voice, instinctively frowned, and made a suggestion: "Professor Chen, would it be convenient to record the surgical procedure as a video?"

Chen Song said without hesitation, "Professor Xing, this requirement is still not acceptable. This surgery is not a teaching procedure, nor is it a standard simple spleen injury. It does not meet the recording standards for teaching videos."

"Professor Chen, please continue with the surgery. We can continue our conversation later when we have more time."

Professor Xing sighed regretfully: "With Professor Chen here, there won't be any problems."

He was well aware of Chen Song's concerns!

"Thank you for your understanding, Professor Xing. If we have the opportunity to attend a conference together next time, I will definitely report to you in person," Chen Song said politely.

After Chen Song finished speaking, he gestured for Dr. Zhou to hang up the phone. At the same time, he gestured for Lu Cheng to start the procedure.

Lu Cheng checked the hemostasis pathway, and then carefully examined the ruptured splenic suture before using a needle holder to insert the suture needle into the patient's spleen and perform a thorough suturing operation.

……

Meanwhile, in an office in Jishi, Xiangzhou, several people in police uniforms and several middle-aged men in formal attire knocked on the door and entered.

"Director Tian, ​​we have collected the surveillance footage from inside and outside the store. What we can confirm at present is that the people involved in the assault did arrive at the store before Director Xiao and his team."

"Director Xiao and the others were not clear about the specific situation, so they assumed that these people had cut in line and that the verbal conflict had started."

"Of course, it was definitely wrong for these workers to resort to violence. I'm not trying to excuse them for that," said one of the uniformed workers.

"Does the surveillance video have audio?" The man called Director Tian frowned.

A man in a police uniform replied, "Yes, it was a full audio and video recording of the entire time inside and outside the store, lasting about an hour in the morning."

"We have apprehended all the individuals who initiated the attack!"

Director Tian thought for a moment and replied, "Then let your local public security department handle this matter according to law and regulations. I have no further suggestions."

The uniformed men replied with extra caution: "Director Tian, ​​this is an unexpected situation that could not have been predicted in advance."

"How is Director Xiao doing now?"

Director Tian replied, "I heard from my colleague that we have found a relatively professional doctor, and the surgery is currently underway."

"During the conversation with my colleague at the hospital, they expressed their opinion that the organs should be able to be saved." "My other colleague only suffered minor injuries and has undergone a relatively systematic examination, so there are no major problems."

Director Tian clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for your hard work. We've caused you trouble this time."

The middle-aged man in uniform immediately replied, "No, no, Director Tian, ​​actually, we and the comrades in the public security department feel very guilty about what happened."

"But Director Tian, ​​please rest assured, now that this has happened, we will definitely arrange the best medical resources and follow-up medical services for Director Xiao."

Both sides were on edge.

Director Tian clasped his hands together, thought for a moment, and then asked, "The surgeon who performed the operation on Director Xiao this time was Professor Chen Song from the Emergency Department of Xiangya No. 2 Hospital, right?"

"Yes, Professor Chen Song happened to be conducting animal experiments in our city of Jilin. This information was provided by another medical professional in our state, so we contacted Professor Chen immediately." Someone who knew about this replied promptly.

Director Tian glanced at him and asked politely, "Who was the doctor who provided Professor Chen's contact information?"

The person who replied was quite thorough: "It was Dr. Lu Cheng from Longxian People's Hospital. Before Professor Chen Song came to Jilin City to conduct animal experiments, he had spent three months providing support in the countryside at Longxian People's Hospital."

"Oh? I see. Thank you for your hard work. Director Xiao will definitely thank these two doctors in person later," Director Tian replied.

"Nothing else is unusual; we're proceeding as usual."

"Then we won't disturb Director Tian's work any longer."

After replying with that statement, the uniformed man still asked, "Director Tian, ​​what should we do with these people who violated the public security regulations?"

Director Tian quickly replied, "Just follow the normal procedures; we have no other opinions."

"Of course, if they are willing to mediate, then mediation is possible."

The patrol team got into a fight during their mission and one member was even hospitalized. No matter where the news gets, it will be a disgrace to the patrol team.

During the mission, you're not supposed to run around freely. Not only did you run away, but you also got into a fight with some local workers...

Admittedly, the person who struck the blow is at fault and will be punished accordingly, but if you also struck someone, it will be disadvantageous for Director Yu and his team as well.

……

At 11:30, Lu Cheng finished the surgery and muttered to himself, "Professor Chen, there's nothing special about this surgery."

Chen Song's voice was very soft: "Continue to check for any bleeding or other issues after the suturing. This is not the time for you to complain."

Lu Cheng remained silent and continued to cooperate with Chen Song in the leak detection work.

After another ten minutes or so, Chen Song said, "Place a drainage tube on the patient's body. After the drainage tube is in place, the patient will be taken off the table and transferred to the recovery room. Your unit can then decide whether to transfer the patient to a regular ward or the intensive care unit based on the actual situation."

Yao Xin, the director of hepatobiliary surgery, was sweating profusely, and the tissues in his hand were soaked with water: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Professor Chen."

"You've really gone to so much trouble, and I'm so sorry to bother you."

"It's getting late, we've arranged a simple meal."

Chen Song said, "I won't eat. Director Song, please remember to contact the medical affairs department of the hospital."

"Give me a record of the surgery I'm performing this time, and make sure the procedures are followed correctly."

Yao Xin hurriedly replied, "Professor Chen, all of this has been taken care of. The leaders from the State Health Commission personally contacted the leaders of the Medical Affairs Department of Xiangya No. 2 Hospital."

"The process was completed around 10 o'clock."

"Professor Chen, you must have a meal with us. It's a token of our appreciation."

Chen Song said, "I have other things to do. I was called out of the lab by you guys. I really can't eat."

"Lu Cheng, are you staying for dinner?"

Lu Cheng said, "Teacher Chen, I didn't know that."

"Don't know?" Chen Song looked puzzled.

“Hmm…” Lu Cheng’s eyes were quite helpless.

He still doesn't know how to handle the situation afterward.

In Long County, the county health bureau's investigation is still ongoing, and Lu Cheng is unaware of the progress of the state health commission's investigation.

And then, I was unexpectedly called by the state health commission and brought to Jilin City again...

Lu Cheng wasn't worried about taking the blame entirely, since with Director Lin Qianlong around, he couldn't possibly bear all the responsibility.

However, the inspection team suspected that he had conducted unregistered human experiments because of the new suturing techniques he had demonstrated in the competition, and he had to find an opportunity to explain this clearly.

With so many people around, and so much gossip, Lu Cheng couldn't possibly explain everything clearly to Chen Song.

"Dr. Lu, if Professor Chen isn't going, why don't you come to dinner with us?" Yao Xin went to see Chen Song off, and Song Daoneng immediately extended an invitation to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng replied, "Director Song, I also have other things to do, so I won't be able to go to lunch with you."

After thinking for a moment, Song Daoneng politely asked, "What matter can be so urgent?"

"My boss wanted to see me about something. I only received the notice this morning and rushed over here at the last minute," Lu Cheng said.

"The surgery here is finished, I need to go over there to report for duty."

"Director Song, thank you for your kindness, but I'm about to leave."

"Let me take you!"

"Dr. Lu, would it be convenient to add each other as friends?" Song Daoneng asked.

……

After saying goodbye to Song Daoneng, Lu Cheng dialed the landline number that had called him earlier again: "Teacher, the surgery here is finished!"

The person in the office replied, "Are you done? Dr. Lu, you can go back now."

"Thank you for your hard work," he said, still managing to be polite.

Lu Cheng: "..."

At this moment, Lu Cheng really had the urge to smash the phone. He patiently continued to ask, "Boss, did you call me today just to ask me to come and perform surgery?"

"Weren't you asking me to cooperate with the investigation?"

"Huh? What kind of investigation are you going to cooperate with?" Lu Cheng's question left the person on the other end of the phone completely bewildered.

Lu Cheng patiently explained, "Teacher, didn't the leaders from the Health and Wellness Commission notify the leaders of our Longxian County Health Bureau yesterday that they want to determine that I'm 'overstepping my scope of practice'? And even want me to suspend my practice for a period of time?"

“‘You’re practicing beyond your scope of practice’? That’s not under our office’s jurisdiction. It’s the business of the Regulations and Comprehensive Supervision Section and the Medical Administration Section. This is the emergency office.” The person on the other end of the phone said.

Lu Cheng felt like hitting someone: "I..."

Tan Li probably sensed Lu Cheng's annoyance and anger, so he said, "Dr. Lu, don't be anxious. I'll go and ask about what you mentioned, okay?"

"After all, you helped us a lot this time."

"Then thank you, leader." Lu Cheng suppressed his emotions and smiled.

"Okay, I'll ask about the specifics for you right away," Tan Li said.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Cheng looked at the sky. The sky, which had been sunny yesterday, was now shrouded in mist.

It wasn't completely dark, but the sun's rays were also invisible.

This world is just so funny.

The person who asked for your help may not even know that you are in a difficult and embarrassing situation.

"It's time for the eggs to be released!"

"At worst, I'll just quit working in Xiangzhou."

After cursing, Lu Cheng immediately called Professor Chen Song: "Professor Chen, are you free? Let's go out for dinner together?"

"Have you finished dealing with things over there?" Chen Song hadn't gone very far.

Lu Cheng said with a self-deprecating laugh, "It's not dealt with yet, but we need to eat first. Where are you, Teacher Chen? I'll drive over and pick you up..."
