Chapter 1025: Chapter 847: Another Professor?_2

It seems that many of the patients they had taken on were tough cases, and having reviewed the imaging, Yang Ping felt surgery was feasible.

Since this department was independent and parallel to other departments and Xiehe Hospital’s Orthopedics, all decisions had to be made by them alone, unless a consultation was requested. Other doctors were not allowed to interfere, a rule established by Professor Liang.

These young doctors, who were usually subordinate doctors, were now taking on the role of decision-makers. Previously, their skills were not sufficient, but that had changed. They had received the best training, and both their theoretical knowledge and practical skills were exceptionally high.

Other cases, such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, femoral head ischemic necrosis, and so on, were relatively routine and only needed to be discussed briefly.

The discussion was not yet over when the head MRI images came out. Of course, the report wasn’t out yet, just the images. Bringing the images alone to a case discussion would be seen as inappropriate in other departments.

But this was the department led by Yang Ping, where reading images of the entire human body was a basic skill. Even as Orthopedic surgeons, they were expected to read MRIs or CTs of the head.

"Look, the bright white spot, that must be a calcified lesion, right? If this calcification is from the calcified remnants of a tapeworm, it means the tapeworm truly originated in the head before migrating to the cervical spine and finally settling in the lumbar spine," Song Yun focused on the bright white spot in the image.

"Exactly, the shape of this calcified lesion is characteristic of a tapeworm, including the calcified lesions in the cervical spine. Look, there are similar calcifications in the lumbar spine. Other characteristic imaging features are easily recognizable by everyone, not because they are strikingly distinctive, but because they are frequently seen. Spinal parasitic diseases like this, however, are encountered less often, and are naturally less familiar," he added.

"Let’s schedule this patient for surgery. During the operation, we might be able to remove a live tapeworm. Look, this MRI of the lumbar spine shows a live worm, and if you want to compare, another MRI would definitely show changes in this image. Look, there are a lot of excretions from the worm around it," he continued.

Yang Ping pointed to the tapeworm image in the photos, sparking great interest among everyone.

Spinal parasitic disease is indeed rare, so they had no experience and did not identify it immediately. After Yang Ping pointed it out, everyone began to dig into this area of knowledge.

Pre-surgical discussions for dozens of patients were completed just after four o’clock in the afternoon. Naturally, patients with less challenging issues took less time, while the focus was on more difficult and complex cases.

After completing the discussion, Song Yun accompanied Yang Ping to the Cardiac Surgery Department.

To save time while Yang Ping was at Xiehe performing surgeries, Director Wen adjusted the queue for hospital admissions slightly. As patients were discharged in the afternoon, beds were freed up immediately, and the nurse called the patient’s family to arrange for hospital admission and surgery.

Song Yun had called Director Wen ahead of time to schedule. Director Wen was still at the operating table, so he instructed a residential doctor in the ward to receive them.

When the Cardiac Surgery Department heard that Yang Ping was coming, several doctors who had already performed surgeries immediately went to the ward to wait. Yang Ping’s reputation at Xiehe was significant. Even though the surgeons from other specialties might not pay much attention to the Golden Knife Award for Orthopedics, everyone in Xiehe system knew about Yang Ping and his 13 CNS papers. Moreover, hearing that Yang Ping was also teaching in Orthopedics made them even keener to meet their idol up close.

Dr. Chu Huairen was in charge of the reception and was waiting by the elevator doors in advance. The nurse, thinking it was a higher-up inspection, asked Dr. Chu, "Who are you waiting for here?"

"Didn’t you know? The ’Yang God’ from Orthopedics is coming, and he’ll be visiting our Cardiac Surgery Department for a consultation soon."

"Yang Ping? The Emperor CNS?"

The Emperor CNS was a nickname Xiehe had come up with, showcasing how well-read people could have a bit of fun.

Even the nurses knew about him. The name Yang Ping was well-known throughout Xiehe; several intern doctors following Dr. Chu were also incredibly excited, as if fans waiting for their idol at the airport.

"Dr. Chu, is Professor Yang looking at patient 12 this afternoon?"

"Yes, Professor Yang will join the Chief Surgeon in performing the main surgery, heard from the Director that he asked him to assist with the coronary artery anastomosis."

"Is it for the infant?"

"Yes!"

The elevator doors opened several times but Yang Ping and Song Yun didn’t appear. Dr. Chu waited by the doors, becoming somewhat impatient.

Finally, when the elevator doors opened again, Yang Ping and Song Yun emerged.

Dr. Chu walked up to greet them but hesitated to avoid misrecognizing them, so he waited for Song Yun to speak first. Song Yun said, "Are you on duty today? This is our Professor Yang. Director Wen asked Professor Yang to come and see patient 12."

"The patient’s family is holding their loved one, waiting in the ward right now."

"Oh, no, it’s the family holding the patient."

Doctor Chu, both excited and slightly flustered, was meeting his idol after all—a being seemingly divine with the ability to publish 13 CNS papers.

The number of doctors in the ward was small, but somehow the news that Yang Ping had come to the Cardiac Surgery Department had leaked. Doctors from the Vascular Surgery Department who were on ward duty and those who had just finished surgeries in both departments came rushing,plus some visiting doctors, which actually made quite a crowd.

The nurses at the nurse station, usually very busy, also took the chance to sneak a peek at what the legendary god was like.

So young and already a professor, followed and preceded by admirers—how impressive that was.

"Let’s go straight to the ward!" Yang Ping didn’t want to waste time.

Professor Yang was always dedicated; he came in, didn’t even drink a sip of water, and went straight to the ward—Doctor Chu was having many thoughts upon seeing his idol.

Yang Ping was quite legendary at Xiehe Hospital, his fame had built up over time until he was worshipped by everyone. The initial sensation created by the Golden Knife Award in Orthopedics was significant but confined to that field only, as people from other departments didn’t concern themselves much with achievements outside their own specialties.

Latter, the vigorous effort by Professor Liang to recruit Yang Ping spread throughout the hospital, followed by the incident with the 45 beds, but most importantly, the 13 CNS papers that catapulted Yang Ping to the summit.

"Isn’t bed 12 a case of Kawasaki Disease with a coronary artery occlusion? Why call for an Orthopedics consultation?"

Whispers circulated among the onlookers.

"I heard Professor Yang is going to perform the main surgery with Director Wen. The baby’s coronary arteries are too thin, and no doctors in the country have attempted it before. Director Wen, wanting to increase the success rate, invited Professor Yang to assist."

"Professor Yang knows Cardiac Surgery too?"

"Not just knows—it’s said that his skill level is extremely high. He recently did several coronary bypasses at 301."

"Isn’t he into Orthopedics? He won the Golden Knife Award in that field."

"Now it’s said he does everything, just like Manstein—an all-rounder in surgery."

"No way! That impressive?"

"Keep it down."

The increasingly large group arrived at the ward, where the baby was held by his mother. The parents, looking at this group of young doctors leading the pack who looked just like university students, felt a bit uneasy.

"You guys?"

"This is Professor Yang, whom our Director Wen invited for a consultation; he’s going to check the little one." Doctor Chu introduced.

No way, such a young professor?

Surely he must be another fake professor here to sneak in a heart auscultation, thought the baby’s parents, who were experienced by now. They knew their child’s condition was unusual and that these young doctors and intern doctors often masqueraded under the professor’s title to get an auscultation opportunity.

"A professor also came to auscultate the heart at noon," said the baby’s mother, surprised.

Immediately, a doctor ducked to the back row, afraid of being spotted by the family—it was him who had auscultated the heart at noon, a Cardiovascular intern, casually referred to as ’professor’ by his colleagues in Cardiac Surgery, a playful title used among young doctors and intern doctors.

Doctor Chu glanced at the crowd and knew what was happening—it was one of those youngsters who, without his permission, had slipped in to ask about the medical history and examine the patient.

"We are a teaching hospital, and such situations are common here, please bear with us," Doctor Chu had to explain.

The couple had no choice—this was the best hospital in the country, and it was unavoidable to be treated as teaching subjects. But heart auscultations were troublesome; they had to undress the child, who sometimes was awake and would fuss and cry.

This Professor Yang, he too must be here on a practicum, but he had the demeanor and presence more convincing than a real professor.
