Chapter 341: Chapter 204: Ordinary and Bland_2

Lu Cheng replied, "Peng Kun doesn’t need to make money, so there weren’t any economic issues involved."

"However, the tendon suturing medical dispute Peng Kun had previously with Director Peng has been brought up again."

"When people move on, their tea cools; when people come in, their tea is scalding..."

Mu Nanshu pondered for a moment and then said, "Lu Cheng, although the current situation differs from your initial expectations of a medical career, it’s only temporary."

Lu Cheng smiled, "Yes, these are things I don’t dare say to anyone else, including my parents."

"Actually, I’m not complaining to you. I just want to share what I’ve seen."

"Under any regulation, ordinary citizens and patients are relatively vulnerable groups; they are the ultimate bearers of all medical supplies, rules, and reforms."

"This time, I’ve gone deeper than what I saw previously in orthopedics."

"But we are just small figures; we have to abide by the rules and inevitably become colder each day."

"I seriously thought about it. We doctors are just humans too, and just small figures who cannot withstand any turmoil. An effective complaint from a patient could end our careers."

"A responsibility review by the higher authorities could also terminate our careers."

"I used to say often: ’Cure occasionally, relieve often, and console always.’ Now I add, ’Leave it to fate!’"

As they spoke, Lu Cheng drove Mu Nanshu to her regular residence’s underground parking lot in Ji City.

After parking, Mu Nanshu got out of the car, "You should head back directly. I’ll go upstairs; work continues tomorrow."

"Alright~" Lu Cheng nodded and drove away.

Actually, after expressing some thoughts, there was less feeling of pressure.

Lu Cheng, having the capability to save patients but unable to intervene, isn’t to be blamed.

Moreover, Lu Cheng knows that even if he could save, it would just be a few people.

What Lu Cheng was talking about wasn’t spleen preservation surgery. Spleen preservation surgery is just saving the organ, not saving lives — it’s about patients with arterial dissection.

If Lu Cheng opted to increase his efforts, he could definitely save the patients, but Lu Cheng doesn’t have that authority.

Patients with spleen removal don’t have a risk to their lives, so Lu Cheng wouldn’t be so emotionally affected.

Whether he intervenes or not doesn’t change the big environment.

The main issue is the standard procedure for arterial dissection is too difficult, making it hard for surgeons at grassroots hospitals to learn.

If this surgery could be simplified, it would be great...

After returning home, Lu Cheng continued to spend time with his parents, eating seeds, fruit, and chatting, as if back to how it was six months ago.

However, this time, Lu Nanjia didn’t seem as youthful as before.

Du Qiang even came home to clearly express to Lu Cheng and the old couple that he would ’lower’ Lu Cheng’s presence in clinical settings, not deliberately targeting him.

And Lu Cheng is now confirmed to be transferred to the State People’s Hospital, which is a very ’happy’ thing for the old couple.

Especially Tian Hui, she is now even willing to go downstairs often to chat with others...

For most people in Long County, having their child enter a state-level unit like the State People’s Hospital is a matter of great pride for the parents.

...

After the chat ended, Lu Cheng went into his study and started a video call.

It was a video call from Professor Chen Song. On the other end, there were also two people, Chen Song’s doctoral and master’s students, who were called to Ji City to help.

Chen Song’s doctoral student, Tao Shibin, was responsible for reporting the measurement of suturing skill and CT imaging data of organs two weeks after surgery today.

Chen Song’s master student, Liao Hanwen, was responsible for organizing the contents of the meeting discussion.

Chen Song frowned slightly and said, "Lu Cheng, the results of this animal experiment show quite a difference compared to the suture data of pig’s pancreas."

"If it were ex-vivo organs, the suturing data would definitely be much better than it is now."

Lu Cheng replied, "Professor Chen, didn’t you say you would contact someone skilled in creating animal standard models?"

"I think the issue we always talk about is that the animal models are not standard. The spleen injury we manually created isn’t a standard spleen injury, it’s kind of overstepping."

"Hence, the suturing skill measurement data isn’t good enough."

Chen Song lowered his proud chin and said, "Well, you know, your Teacher Chen in the industry is just that."

"With my current standing, I can’t afford the luxury of inviting such professionals. I contacted many people, but their schedules are fully booked."

"The groups that collaborate with them are mainly large professors, national-level experts, or even academician-level teams, so they simply don’t have the time."

"How did Zhang Xibei, the one you and Xiao Mu contacted previously, respond?" Chen Song, who had boasted before, could only openly admit the situation."

In Long County and Xiang Province, Associate Professor Chen Song’s name is quite well-known.

But in the wider Hua Country’s medical field, an associate professor from Xiangya Second Hospital is merely someone not to be looked down upon, with no other special qualifications.

There are many who are more prestigious and capable in the medical field than Chen Song.

Lu Cheng said, "Yes, Teacher Chen, here’s the situation—when we went to see Brother Zhang, he was quite busy and didn’t really speak to us much."

"But, he mentioned coming to our Ji City next Monday, and we’re still trying to arrange something."

"Teacher Chen, animal experiments on substantive organs are indeed much harder to conduct than those for tendons, nerves, and blood vessel damage."
