Wen Shen, Gao Jun, and Liu Ziang were shocked by the information revealed by Old Huang. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

After a while, Old Huang looked at the expressions of the three in the video, then smiled kindly and said, "Let's leave the anesthesia for this patient to Xiao Zhao. With him here, it's the same as having me here."

Gao Jun and Wen Shen exchanged a few more pleasantries with Old Huang before the video was disconnected.

Once the video was disconnected, Gao Jun looked at Zhao Heng and scrutinized him carefully, as if seeing him for the first time.

"Xiao Zhao, when did you learn this technique?"

Gao Jun asked in bewilderment. He worked with Zhao Heng almost every day in the busy anesthesiology department.

Even if there's a break, it's only for a day or two.

Could it be that during this rest time, Zhao Heng learned such a profound technique from Old Huang?

If learning the technique were that simple, Old Huang wouldn't be the only one in the country who could master the technique of perioperative brain function and consciousness recovery.

"Just during my break, I learned with Old Huang for a while."

Zhao Heng replied modestly.

"Uh..."

Upon hearing Zhao Heng's words, Gao Jun and Wen Shen were momentarily speechless...

As senior anesthesiologists, Gao Jun and Wen Shen had of course heard of this technique.

To be honest, everyone wants to learn such advanced cutting-edge technology.

But this technique involves profound neuroscience knowledge and some cutting-edge research on consciousness, which is not something that can be learned easily.

It's fair to say that the prerequisite discipline for this technique is neurology.

And neurology can be said to be the most profound of all branches of medicine.

It's astonishing that Zhao Heng casually learned what others couldn't grasp even after decades, making it difficult to evaluate this disparity.

"Xiao Zhao, why didn't you mention you had mastered this technique when you were in the ICU?"

Gao Jun asked again.

"Professor, you didn't ask me..."

Zhao Heng said.

Although he learned the technique from Old Huang, whether it can be used, especially on this patient, needs to be determined by Old Huang.

Zhao Heng mastered the technique but lacks experience and vision compared to a stalwart like Old Huang.

Zhao Heng's words left Gao Jun momentarily speechless.

Meanwhile, Liu Ziang watched Zhao Heng with great interest.

Liu Ziang is a typical prodigy; he has been a genius-level figure since childhood.

Not to boast, at Eastern Hospital, he hasn't seen anyone more talented than himself.

But today, Zhao Heng seems to challenge his perception.

The smarter and more gifted someone is, the more they are interested in their peers.

Once one's IQ reaches a certain level, ordinary people find it hard to understand such individuals.

"Okay, considering this patient, how confident are you?"

Gao Jun asked directly.

Since Old Huang said that having Zhao Heng is the same as having him, the confidence must be significant.

"Given this patient's condition, if we apply the technique I learned from Old Huang, I'm confident of postoperative consciousness recovery. But since the patient's brain was infested by pork tapeworms, brain function may be affected in the future."

Zhao Heng pondered for a moment and replied seriously.

Since Old Huang has stated that this technique can be applied to this patient, Zhao Heng didn't hesitate.

However, it's crucial to clarify certain matters.

"Which aspect of the patient's brain function do you think might be affected?"

Gao Jun further pursued.

"Director Liu is the expert in this area; it's better for Director Liu to explain."

Zhao Heng deflected the question to Liu Ziang, recognizing that he shouldn't always be in the spotlight. Everyone present were big shots, though he believes his skills rival theirs, catching up with their network and influence will take time.

"Based on the examination results, the areas of brain function likely to be affected in the patient are primarily in the language center, which means the patient might develop aphasia."

Liu Ziang didn't hesitate and quickly provided a professional assessment.

Aphasia refers to changes in the brain tissue related to language function, whereby brain damage from various causes affects the patient's comprehension and expression ability of the human communication symbol system, especially sound, vocabulary, grammar, language structure, meaning, and the cognitive process of language, leading to disorders.

"Aphasia? This has a significant impact on the patient."

Gao Jun pondered and commented.

This patient is a female internet celebrity, and the importance of language function to an internet celebrity is self-evident.

"That is already a good outcome. Without Dr. Zhao mastering this technique, the patient might have ended up in a vegetative state."

Liu Ziang said slowly, addressing Zhao Heng as Dr. Zhao, showing he has taken a liking to Zhao Heng.

"Alright, then Xiao Zhao, you and I will prepare for preoperative anesthesia. Director Liu, we'll rely on you for the surgery."

Gao Jun thought for a moment and outlined the next steps.

Zhao Heng was about to agree when Wen Shen suddenly said, "Old Gao, I'll handle the anesthesia this time. Let Xiao Zhao focus on brain function and consciousness recovery; I'll handle the rest."

He understood that Gao Jun took over the anesthesia with considerations that Wen Shen might be affected by the situation.

But Wen Shen felt he had to get through this hurdle himself.

Besides, in previous procedures, Wen Shen indeed made no mistakes. In terms of anesthesia alone, his performance was perfect.

"Alright."

After listening to Wen Shen, Gao Jun pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Having known Wen Shen for many years, Gao Jun understood Wen Shen's mindset well.

Soon, they left the remote consultation center. Zhao Heng was about to return to prepare for the anesthesia when Liu Ziang suddenly called out to him.

"Dr. Zhao, can we talk?"

Suddenly being called by Liu Ziang caught Zhao Heng by surprise, but he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Director Liu."

"Don't call me Director Liu; I'm not much older than you. Just call me senior."

Usually cold-faced, Liu Ziang smiled and spoke kindly to Zhao Heng.

"Yes, Senior, what can I do for you?"

Zhao Heng nodded, knowing that changing how one is addressed is the quickest way to bring people closer.

"It's like this: the technique you mastered, the perioperative brain function and consciousness recovery technique, I studied it in the past. But as you know, mastering it requires too many prerequisite disciplines. Later, I focused on neurosurgery and set aside this technique. Now that you've mastered it, I'd like to consult with you more in the future."

Liu Ziang spoke straightforwardly.

The technique Zhao Heng mastered can greatly increase the chances of postoperative brain and consciousness recovery, which is like a divine skill for neurosurgery.

Keep in mind, many vegetative patients arise from damaged brain function. Although Zhao Heng's current skill is limited to anesthesia postoperative recovery.

But what if Zhao Heng refines his skills further?

At that point, even in cases of vegetative patients, it might have some effect.

"No problem, Senior."

Zhao Heng nodded decisively, realizing that engaging more with someone like Liu Ziang could improve himself as well.

"Great, in this hospital, my word carries some weight. Don't hesitate to reach out to me no matter what you encounter."

Seeing Zhao Heng's candid response, Liu Ziang was very satisfied and became even more appreciative of Zhao Heng.
