Great doctors start with pediatrics

The red light appears ghostly.

There is no pattern.

It's always unexpected.

"Wait a mininute."

Laurent had a sudden inspiration and decided to try it if possible. After saying something to the energetic young man, he removed the syringe.

Green light.

"Alright, now we've got the target right there. I just saw an artery there."

Laurent started making things up.

Zhang Lianren frowned behind him.

Laurent brought the syringe forward again.

Red light.

Give a heads-up, then retract, green light.

He pushed it back: "Brother, I'm starting."

Red light.

Shrink—

"Laurent, what are you doing right now?"

Zhang Lianren couldn't hold back any longer: "Can't you find the injection site, or do you not know how to inject? You've been putting it off for too long."

If you don't understand, I can tutor you individually later.

If it were an injection, Laurent wouldn't have been unable to find the location after observing for two days.

He was simply under the influence of the red light.

Is it related to anesthesia?

Upon hearing Zhang Lianren's question, Laurent put down the anesthetic in his hand and said, "Professor Zhang, can we pause the surgery?"

Zhang Lianren was taken aback: "What?"

Why is it necessary to pause this surgery?

Laurent's current behavior is completely different from his nonchalant demeanor during the surgery.

Clumsy movements and strange behavior.

If it weren't for the limitations of his worldview, he would have been prepared to guess that Laurent had been possessed by an extraterrestrial demon.

"Luo, stop joking. Let's get the surgery done as soon as possible."

Zhang Lianren urged.

"Exactly, bro!" the energetic young man chimed in. "I'm going to get Mixue Ice Cream with my baby tonight! She can't finish a cup by herself."

Sometimes Laurent didn't want to hear those idiotic things.

"Teacher Zhang, please wait a moment, I want to ask this patient some questions."

Laurent walked to the front of the operating table, squatted down, and his gaze met that of the energetic young man.

"Brother, I need to ask you a few questions. After you ask, I can stitch you up."

"Brother, you say it, shall we?"

"How were you feeling while I was giving you the injection? What were you thinking?"

"I was nervous at first, but I got used to it later. After all, it's just a knife being used on the outside, what's there to be afraid of?"

"I'm just afraid you'll make me look bad."

The energetic young man answered quickly.

Laurent asked, "Do you usually feel unwell anywhere in your body?"

"No, I'm perfectly healthy," the energetic young man said.

In his previous life as a lawyer, Laurent's greatest skill was extracting clues from his clients.

Seeing the young man say this, I asked, "Do you ever feel unwell? Where exactly does it hurt, your head, your stomach, or your heart?"

"Chop!"

The energetic young man suddenly widened his eyes: "Miracle doctor! Miracle doctor! How did you know that my heart would feel uncomfortable after exercising and staying up late, like it was pounding and slowing down?"

Everyone experiences this after exercising!

Zhang Lianren was about to roll his eyes at the energetic young man.

Laurent continued, "Then let me ask you one last question: when you were getting your blood pressure checked before, did you feel the same way when you were excited?"

"..."

The energetic young man closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "It seems so, but I still need surgery."

"What time did you go to bed last night?"

"I woke up at nine in the morning and then my baby and I got up at noon to queue up."

Upon hearing this, Laurent stood up and looked at Zhang Lianren: "Teacher Zhang, let's pause the surgery. I'll make a phone call now."

Laurent walked to the side and found his phone.

Open your WeChat friends list.

Teacher Zuo —

call.

"Hello, teacher, this is Laurent."

"I was in Dr. Zhang's operating room, yes, I encountered a situation."

"I encountered a 17-year-old male patient who was about to undergo circumcision. His blood pressure was abnormal during the pre-operative blood pressure check..."

"I just questioned him about his daily life... Yes, he sometimes stays up late."

"I feel he's not a suitable candidate for surgery right now. What's your opinion? Or what do you think the situation is like?"

……

The operating room lights were turned off.

Inside the office.

Director Jiang looked at the heroes lined up on both sides.

On one side are Laurent and Zuo Zhenxing.

On one side were Zhang Lianren and his two students.

The energetic young man squatted in the corner, looking like he had just been released from prison.

He thought he had found a really cool corner.

"As I said, the patient currently meets the criteria. If you are worried, you can let the patient rest for one night and schedule the surgery for tomorrow."

"Laurent's doubts are unnecessary."

"Feeling unwell in the heart after exercise or staying up late, or thinking that one's heart is uncomfortable, could be a subjective judgment, especially since Laurent has been trying to mislead you."

"I don't think there's any need for discussion or even a consultation. It's just a circumcision! Aside from the possibility of blood vessels being affected, it can't be life-threatening."

What's the impact of cutting off that little bit of skin?

Zhang Lianren finished speaking in one breath.

The energetic young man's eyes lit up: "I completely forgot about the rubber raft! Doctor, could you let me keep it so I can make a rubber band for my baby?"

"Shut up, you aberrant!"

Zhang Lianren said angrily.

Laurent silently gave a thumbs up.

Zuo Zhenxing listened to Zhang Lianren's words and nodded: "Yes, that makes a lot of sense. After all, it's just a minor surgical procedure."

She turned back to Laurent and asked, "Laurent, what are your thoughts?"

Since he already intended to treat Laurent as his student, Zuo Zhenxing would not add the word "student" to it.

Director Jiang also said, "Yes, Laurent, what are your thoughts?"

"I think there were several signs that the patient was not suitable for surgery, such as the blood pressure measurement, which, although it could be considered an error, indicated that the patient did not get enough rest before the surgery."

Laurent might organize his thoughts in an unprofessional tone.

Then, looking at the energetic young man, he asked, "Hey bro, wanna drink Monster Energy?"

"What? Bro, you Earthlings drink this too?"

"No, I mean, did you drink anything last night?"

My brother bought me two bottles...

Monster Energy is a popular sports drink among subculture teenagers. It is a product in the same category as Red Bull and Dongpeng, with the main ingredients being taurine and caffeine. However, it has a more sour taste and more fancy packaging.

Laurent shrugged upon hearing this. He knew that the young man hadn't told the whole story and needed to be questioned further: "You see, he also concealed his intake of sports drinks, so I think the surgery was unreasonable. It might have affected him during anesthesia."

"Besides, he recalled being excited when his blood pressure was measured, and his heart reacted after staying up late and exercising. I'm not sure if it was a induced judgment."

"But I think we should get tested."

Zuo Zhenxing shook his head: "Laurent, what do you think the problem might be? What illness?"

"It could be a heart problem."

Laurent hesitated for a moment: "As for the illness, I don't know."

"I just felt unwell at the beginning of the surgery."

"There's something wrong, but I can't figure it out."

"I don't have the relevant knowledge, but I have this feeling."

"Just like yesterday."
