Chapter 531: Chapter 231 The Ruthless Capitalist, Solving the Fistula Obstruction Issue_2

Su Qianqian was no naive little girl.

She had been through tough times in society for years, witnessing too much harsh reality.

Countless adults would turn their backs faster than flipping through a book for the sake of profit.

Even blood brothers could harm each other, let alone Zhou Can and Li Lao, who were not related by blood and had less than two years of friendship.

Compared to that enormous profit, their friendship seemed frail.

“I initially invested just shy of five million, and the dividends I got back were already in the tens of millions. Even if they really do push me out, they have to offer a fair price. Making a modest goal from five million in less than two years, I’ve still made a profit. Whatever will be will be; let’s leave it to fate!”

After some thought, Zhou Can’s originally pale face gradually regained its normal color.

He also appeared more calm and composed.

Letting go is a form of enlightenment.

One shouldn’t be too greedy.

He felt that he had already gained enough. If Li Lao really kicked him out, he could accept that outcome.

At most, it would mean one less true friend.

As for wealth, he has always been rather indifferent.

He had been well-provided for since childhood, and now at just under twenty-six, he had already achieved a modest goal, which put him ahead of 99.9% of his peers.

With this money, as long as he didn’t mess up, he could live comfortably for the rest of his life.

“If President Lee really kicks you out, I’ll resign immediately. Even if it means losing a great career and going back to being a small-time singer, I’ll never work with Golden Entertainment Interactive again.”

Su Qianqian’s eyes and tone were both extremely resolute when she said these words.

With her stubbornness, she really might do just as she said.

“You silly girl. Even if I do get kicked out, your best path is to continue developing your career with Golden Entertainment Interactive. Don’t act on impulse. With Hu Haikun joining in, Golden Entertainment Interactive’s strength will immediately surge several times over and will enter a phase of rapid development. Riding this tailwind, you could soar high and become a true superstar. This would bring immeasurable benefits to your career and income, understand?”

Zhou Can was touched yet anxious after hearing Su Qianqian’s words.

He understood her personality too well.

She would really do it.

“I can’t think about all that, I only recognize people, nothing else. You are the only man I acknowledge in my lifetime,” Su Qianqian said, tilting her head up and pouting slightly.

“Don’t you want to buy a big villa? Once you become a superstar, you could earn hundreds of thousands or even more from just one commercial performance. You could quickly save up enough to buy a luxurious villa.”

Zhou Can could only use this to persuade her to come back to her senses.

Buying a beautiful large villa with a pool, whether in the Capital or Shanghai, was her dream.

Villas in these places weren’t cheap at all.

With prices often reaching several hundreds of millions, they were simply beyond what ordinary wealthy people could afford.

“I didn’t say I have to live in a big villa. As long as I can be with you, I would feel happy even in a small house.” Her thoughts didn’t waver in the slightest.

“But if you stay and continue working with Jinyu, we could still be together!”

Zhou Can held her face, speaking earnestly.

He wasn’t the type to act rashly on a whim.

Even if Li Lao pushed him out, it would just mean they wouldn’t be good friends anymore. They could still greet each other with a smile upon meeting. If Su Qianqian stayed and grew her career with Jinyu, Zhou Can wouldn’t mind at all.

On the contrary, he hoped she would.

“No way!”

She was so stubborn that not even nine bulls could pull her back.

Zhou Can suddenly held her face and kissed her red lips. Her loyalty and love for Zhou Can made him feel that meeting such a good girl in this lifetime was a blessing earned over several lifetimes.

After a long time, they parted, her pretty face blushing red.

Yet there was a touch of daze in her eyes.

“You rascal! I have to go now! There’s a concert in Shanghai tomorrow, and my flight is at nine tonight.”

She called him a rascal with her mouth but proactively kissed Zhou Can again.

Then, with reluctance, she stood up, straightened her clothes and hair, put on her sunglasses and hat, and left.

Zhou Can escorted her downstairs, watching as she got into the car and drove away.

Even though the BMW had long disappeared into the night, his gaze was slow to retract.

“If only I could cure her kidney disease someday.”

His medical skills were improving rapidly, all in hopes of one day finding the best way to cure her kidney disease.

By joining Internal Medicine, he could learn some advanced pathological and pharmacological knowledge, which would certainly help improve his understanding and overall knowledge of kidney regulation and kidney disease.

Because her kidney disease was discovered in time and managed early on, the best course of action is to use medication to help her recover to normalcy.

Surgery for a kidney transplant is just the worst contingency plan.

All surgeries carry risks.

The risks of transplanting an organ are far greater than those from a common operation.

Not to mention anything else, just the risk of rejection is enough to make the situation much worse.

Zhou Can believes that given a few years, he can attain an extremely high level of proficiency in both pharmacological and surgical skills. By then, he could directly become her attending physician.

Whether through medical or surgical treatment, he himself could oversee the process.

And the safety would be higher as well.

Back in his dormitory, his continued practice with the quick-scalpel technique, studying Master Liu’s notes, and learning basic medical knowledge goes without saying.

After entering Internal Medicine, basic medical knowledge has become even more crucial.

He must catch up as quickly as possible.

…

The next day, Zhou Can arrived at the hospital, and the first thing he did was to check on patient in bed 71.

Thankfully, nothing unexpected had happened.

Besides being unable to eat and relying on nutritional infusions, the patient’s vital signs remained relatively stable.

On the other hand, it seemed that the patient in bed 73 was encountering some problems.

The patient was lying in bed groaning.

The patient in this bed was under the care of Yu Xin. The thought of that cold-faced, resident doctor made Zhou Can give up on the idea of approaching and asking about the patient’s condition.

By the time she arrived, she might think Zhou Can was trying to impress her with flattery.

That would be foolish.

The patient in bed 73 had just finished interventional surgery the day before and was now in the recovery stage.

Generally speaking, the hospital stay for interventional surgery wouldn’t be too long, ranging from three to six days before discharge.

Tu Ya’s ward was incredibly tight on space, and there were internal assessments within the department.

As long as the patient’s condition was under control and met the requirements for discharge, the attending doctor would urge the patient to leave.

According to the timeline, the intense pain the patient in bed 73 was experiencing could likely be normal postoperative pain after the anesthetic had worn off.

Interventional surgery is minimally invasive and inflicts less harm on the body.

However, postoperative pain is still hard to avoid.

After checking on the patient in bed 71, Zhou Can returned to the doctor’s office to log in to the department’s account and check on the patients in his group.

This is also something every intern and resident should do.

By reviewing what tests were done on the patients in the group, the results of those tests, the treatments provided by senior doctors, the effectiveness of drugs administered, and any changes in the patient’s symptoms, one can gain experience in diagnosis and treatment and deepen their understanding and application of theoretical knowledge.

It’s a very good learning process.

He naturally took priority in checking the bed 71 patient he was responsible for, all the night care records, medication records, all were accessible on the computer.

After obtaining the patient’s examination and treatment records from other hospitals yesterday, Zhou Can had conducted a comprehensive assessment and had been thinking intensively.

This morning at breakfast, he was still pondering how to treat this patient?

The anastomosis between the esophagus and jejunum was completely obstructed, and there was also an anastomotic fistula, making it impossible to solve the problem with medication.

Both problems were caused by surgery.

To untie the bell, the bell ringer must be found.

Surgery was the only solution.

Conventional surgery dared not be performed. Nor could it resolve these existing issues.

After much consideration, Zhou Can thought the most feasible solution was to perform endoscopic surgery. Through endoscopic surgery, the obstructed anastomosis could be opened. Then locate the fistula and repair it.

An anastomotic fistula is like a container with a hole, causing everything ingested to leak out of it.

Finding a fistula is a very difficult task.

But that doesn’t mean there’s no chance.

Zhou Can’s proficiency in endoscopic surgery was already strong, and with the addition of the special medical skill of Emergency Life Wisdom, the probability of finding the fistula would greatly increase.

“Just doing endoscopic surgery, although we can see the obstructed end of the esophagus, and see the jejunal end as well, the segment in between is completely blocked. The difficulty of opening it through endoscopic surgery is very high. If we are not careful and deviate, not only will we fail to achieve patency, but there could also be perforation of the jejunum or trachea, which would make the situation much worse.”

This surgery was extremely difficult.

Even doctors with extensive experience in endoscopic surgery wouldn’t be confident they could manage it.
