Chapter 12/50 for Qingyan Xiaoguan)
The crowd around was suddenly stunned!
At this moment, Chen Cang got up and started walking outside.
The other doctors hurriedly followed, looking at Chen Cang with confusion on their faces.
Old Ma also followed, looking at Chen Cang out of the corner of his eye and saying, "What's with all the mystery..."
Chen Cang smiled slightly.
The other doctors followed him out as well.
While Old Ma was speaking, Director Liu from the Radiology Department came rushing over.
"Professor Chen! My apologies, I'm late," Director Liu said breathlessly, smiling as he spoke.
Chen Cang smiled and nodded: "It's late at night, sorry to trouble you, Director Liu."
Liu Duo chuckled: "Being able to assist Professor Chen in conducting a new surgical procedure is an honor for our Radiology Department!"
Hearing this, the digestive surgery doctors around them immediately brightened up.
They hesitated for a long time, debating whether to call their department heads.
After all...
If Professor Chen's new procedure were to be snatched up by Radiology, it would be a huge loss!
Radiology had always been considered just a diagnostic department.
But today, Chen Cang had essentially turned Radiology into an operating room!
This was a significant opportunity for the Radiology Department.
Meanwhile, Digestive Surgery considered itself practically "family" to Chen Cang, and being the favorite often led to complacency.
As for Internal Medicine, the three doctors on duty wore serious expressions.
They decided to call their department head to join this "battle for Professor Chen"!
After all, this enema procedure didn't even require an operating room, and for the gastroenterologists, it could be a lucrative tool.
Of course, that would only be the case if the procedure succeeded!
"Professor Chen, is the surgery complete?" Liu Duo, the deputy director from Radiology, asked eagerly with a smile.
Chen Cang hadn't had time to answer yet.
Suddenly, there was a loud click, and a young night-shift doctor from Radiology burst excitedly through the door!
"Professor Chen! You're incredible! The intussusception is resolved; the patient's bowel is completely untangled now!"
The young lad couldn't contain himself. In the middle of the night, encountering such an unprecedented case would usually induce panic. But after witnessing this miracle up close, his face was filled with uncontainable excitement!
At these words, the eyes of everyone around lit up with a sharp glint!
It worked!
Was this... another new procedure?
Chen Cang smiled. Calling it a new procedure might be overstating it; it was more of a technique.
The difficulty wasn't that high, but it wasn't low either.
Upon hearing this, Liu Duo immediately became anxious: "Let me see the images!"
As he spoke, he pushed the door open, entered the room, and pulled up the barium enema imaging on the computer. Looking at the now-untangled bowel, his hand gripping the mouse was slick with sweat!
Excitement overtook him.
Radiologists are often referred to as technicians rather than physicians.
But they are just as remarkable.
In fact, sometimes they understand the clinical condition better than some doctors do.
The most frustrating thing is... regardless of the hospital, radiologists earn decent salaries, but their bonuses are often lacking.
This is a source of irritation for many.
The development of Radiology has long been limited to scanning and interpreting images.
But… if Radiology could assist in performing certain procedures, what kind of transformation would that bring?!
Of course, tonight was just a small breakthrough. But as long as the first steps are taken, more good things will naturally follow.
The young doctor looked at Director Liu, his excitement barely contained: "Director, this is amazing!"
Liu Duo felt that this night had given him a dream come to life!
At this moment, the small cluster of junior doctors who had been listening outside also came in.
The imaging room wasn't large, and with so many people crowding in, it became noticeably cramped.
In the heat of summer, everyone was drenched in sweat.
Chen Cang took one look and then stepped out.
It was way too hot inside!
But the other doctors were busy snapping pictures with their phones, preparing to share them with their department heads tomorrow. Who knows? It could turn into a creditworthy achievement.
Only Old Ma remained aloof, standing tall and indifferent like a stubborn blade of grass in the wind, unwilling to acknowledge Chen Cang's brilliance.
Chen Cang looked at Old Ma and grinned knowingly: "Interested in learning? I can teach you!"
Old Ma retorted arrogantly, "Get lost!"
"You could've squeezed that troublemaker for more compensation. Why settle for just thirty thousand yuan? What can you even do with that?"
Chen Cang heard this and shook his head: "Do you even know what's wrong with him?"
Old Ma said matter-of-factly, "No, and that's why we need to figure it out, right? But can thirty thousand yuan cover that?"
Chen Cang didn't respond.
This left Old Ma feeling like he'd just punched thin air—completely deflated.
When everyone filed out of the room again, they were all gazing fervently at Chen Cang.
They wanted him for themselves.
After removing the enema equipment, Zhou Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The pain was gone!
It really didn't hurt anymore!
"Dr. Chen, thank you so much!" Zhou Zheng got up, full of gratitude.
He had initially thought surgery was inevitable, but unexpectedly, a simple enema had resolved everything. He felt fortunate.
"Doctor, am I fine now?"
Everyone turned to look at Chen Cang.
Chen Cang shook his head: "No, there's still an issue."
These words instantly piqued everyone's curiosity.
The intussusception was resolved, so what could still be wrong?
Back in the emergency room, Xiao Ke approached.
"Dr. Chen, the endoscopy room is ready. Should we head over?"
Chen Cang nodded slightly: "Wait a moment."
He then turned to the gastroenterologists and said, "Whoever's on duty, please arrange for the patient's transfer and inpatient admission."
Hearing Chen Cang's words, Zhou Zheng hurriedly protested: "Wait... Dr. Chen, I'm fine! I don't need to be admitted!"
The gastroenterologist also nodded.
Although it was easy for Professor Chen to arrange an inpatient admission, still...
There had to be a legitimate diagnosis.
Admitting patients arbitrarily would definitely raise flags with the insurance center.
"Professor Chen, what's the diagnosis?"
Chen Cang looked at the crowd, then glanced at Old Ma, and said, "Come over and take a look at the patient's fingers and the corners of his mouth."
Everyone leaned in to observe.
Soon, they noticed something peculiar about Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng felt a bit embarrassed...
"This... it's nothing serious. It's been like this for a long time."
Chen Cang shook his head: "This is a condition."
Hearing this, everyone perked up their ears to listen closely.
Even Old Ma stepped closer to see.
Chen Cang couldn't help but say, "Actually, you should consider: why did the patient suddenly develop intussusception? Would a normal person develop intussusception just from a fall?"
As digestive specialists, everyone frowned and shook their heads.
Intussusception was exceedingly rare in adults.
It was almost unheard of.
At this point, Chen Cang suddenly turned to ask a gastroenterologist, "What kind of adult patients are prone to intussusception?"
The queried doctor, a senior attending physician, immediately responded: "Tumors. Tumors are the most common cause of adult intussusception. Intestinal polyps, leiomyomas, lipomas, fibromas, and carcinomas can all lead to secondary intussusception."
Chen Cang nodded approvingly!
"Exactly! That's absolutely correct!"
However, as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone around changed dramatically.
And Zhou Zheng was completely stunned.
