102: Chapter 102's popularity has increased, but the tallest tree catches the most wind!

1:00 PM.

In the Nurse Station of the Red Zone, everyone was discussing this matter.

Meng Yan held her phone up in front of him.

"Dr. Lu, look. In the comments under this video, someone dug up that video of you winning the Suturing competition against Guangfu Hospital. Both videos are circulating together, and now the whole internet is calling you the Suturing God."

"Mm."

"What kind of reaction is 'Mm'? Do you know you're an internet celebrity now?"

"I am a doctor, not an internet celebrity."

"Doctors can be internet celebrities too. Look at those internet celebrity doctors on Douyin; they have millions of followers, and one night of livestream shopping earns more than your ten-year salary."

"I don't do livestream shopping."

Meng Yan was choked up by his response.

Sun Ji, standing nearby, leaned over to take a look at the video.

"Over two million views? This is even more intense than that time you blocked the thugs."

"The last one only broke a million; this one will probably hit ten million." Wu Fan walked over holding his water cup. "After all, the content this time is more hardcore. Last time it was blocking people; this time it's saving a life. The gold content is different."

"Brother Wu, you're right. This is a real, solid medical procedure. Those medical influencers are all sharing it."

Zhao Yaqin came out of the consulting room. Seeing everyone gathered together, she walked over and took a glance.

"This kind of thing has both pros and cons."

Everyone looked at her.

"The benefit is that our department's visibility has increased, and our social recognition is also higher. The downside is..."

She glanced at Lu Chen.

"Tall trees catch the wind."

These four words were spoken very softly, but everyone present understood them.

Lu Chen nodded.

He knew what Zhao Yaqin was reminding him of.

After the video of him blocking the thugs went viral, he was labeled as "one of President Zeng's people."

If this video goes viral again, those who already disliked him will only dislike him more.

But this matter was not something he could control.

The video was filmed by the patient's family, and it was also posted by them; he had no prior knowledge of it.

All he could do was do his job well.

As for the rest, he couldn't control it.

"Alright, stop crowding around. Go do what you need to do."

Zhao Yaqin shooed everyone away.

Lu Chen returned to his seat and continued reading literature.

2:30 PM.

Lu Chen saw three patients, none of whom were complicated.

After finishing, he opened his computer and began to formally write the first draft of his paper.

He tentatively titled it: A Case Report of Ultrasound-Guided Apical Puncture and Drainage for Loculated Pericardial Effusion.

It was standard and conventional, but accurate enough.

He left the abstract blank for now, planning to go back and fill it in after finishing the main text.

He wrote the case introduction part quickly.

The patient's basic information, admission history, initial ultrasound findings, and the main cavity Puncture process.

These were all objective statements and not difficult.

When it came to the description of the key procedure, he slowed down.

The three pages of handwritten surgical notes from yesterday were spread out beside him.

He typed every detail into the computer.

How he discovered the pressure imbalance in the loculated cavity.

How he determined the apical Puncture window.

How he utilized the window period of the respiratory cycle to insert the needle.

The needle insertion angle, depth, drainage volume, and the immediate changes in the patient's vital signs after drainage.

Everything was written clearly.

He had a very strange feeling while writing.

The needle piercing through the skin, passing through the intercostal muscles, avoiding the edge of the lung tissue, passing through the gap in the adhesions, and entering the loculated cavity.

Every millimeter of advancement, every tactile sensation of resistance change, he remembered them all.

The text he wrote therefore had a sense of realism that others could not replicate.

Because this was something he had done with his own hands.

5:00 PM.

Lu Chen finished the case report and the description of the procedure.

It was about over three thousand words.

The discussion section was not yet written; it required more literature support.

He saved the file and turned off the computer.

During the shift handover, Lin Xiaoyu ran over again.

"Dr. Lu, Dr. Lu! That video of yours hit number three on the local trending list!"

"Oh."

"That's all you have to say, 'oh'?"

"Then what do you want me to say?"

"Aren't you excited? So many people are praising you!"

"Praising me won't give me a raise."

Lin Xiaoyu was rendered speechless by this statement.

Beside her, Sun Tiantian pushed up her glasses. "Dr. Lu is right; trending topics can't put food on the table."

"Why are you both so realistic!"

Lin Xiaoyu pouted and walked away.

Lu Chen returned to the Duty Room and continued writing the discussion section of the paper.

He searched CNKI for relevant literature on loculated pericardial effusion.

There were not many case reports to be found; most focused on the diagnostic value of echocardiography.

Reports on acute pressurization caused by uneven drainage of loculated cavities were very rare.

This precisely illustrated the academic value of his case.

He read literature until 9:00 PM.

Shen Xiaoning's message arrived right on time.

[Shen Xiaoning: Are you not resting yet?]

[Lu Chen: Writing something.]

[Shen Xiaoning: A paper?]

[Lu Chen: Mm.]

[Shen Xiaoning: You need to pay attention to rest, don't stay up too late.]

[Lu Chen: Got it.]

[Shen Xiaoning: I saw your video went viral! Lots of people in the comment section are praising you!]

[Lu Chen: Mm.]

[Shen Xiaoning: Aren't you curious about what everyone is saying?]

[Lu Chen: Not curious.]

[Shen Xiaoning: You are really so boring.]

[Shen Xiaoning: But! There are lots of women in the comment section saying they want to marry you!]

[Shen Xiaoning: Hmph!]

[Lu Chen: It has nothing to do with me.]

[Shen Xiaoning: Really?]

[Lu Chen: Really. Right now, I just want to finish writing the paper.]

[Shen Xiaoning: Alright then, good luck! Don't stay up too late! Good night!]

[Lu Chen: Good night.]

Lu Chen put down his phone.

He continued writing.

In the first paragraph of the discussion section, he started with the pathogenesis of loculated pericardial effusion, citing three international papers.

The second paragraph delved into the pathophysiological mechanism of pressure imbalance in the loculated cavity during the drainage process.

The third paragraph detailed the rationale for choosing the apical Puncture path and the strategy for utilizing the respiratory window period.

He wrote until 1:00 AM.

The first draft was basically formed.

The entire paper was over six thousand words, with a complete structure and clear logic.

He read through it once, corrected a few places where the expression was not precise enough, saved, and exited.

Then he lay down.

He fell asleep in three seconds.

The next morning.

Lu Chen woke up at 6:30 AM.

After washing up, he took his USB drive and went to Director Li Sen's office.

Director Li Sen had already arrived.

"Director Li Sen, the first draft is finished."

Director Li Sen took the USB drive, inserted it into the computer, and opened the file.

He didn't speak.

He read from beginning to end.

He watched for about fifteen minutes.

The office was very quiet, with only the sound of the air conditioning vent.

Lu Chen sat opposite him, not rushing him.

Director Li Sen finally looked up.

"Are you sure you haven't written a paper before?"

"I haven't."

"Your description of the procedure is better than what many doctors who have published five or six SCI papers write."

"Maybe it's because I performed the procedure myself, so it was relatively easy to write."

"That's not the issue."

Director Li Sen turned the screen toward Lu Chen.

"Look at this paragraph of yours, regarding the description of the timing of needle insertion during the respiratory window period. You used a quantitative approach to present it."

"At the end of the patient's expiration, the heart moved downward by approximately 1.2 cm, creating an unobstructed window of about 3 cm between the left lung edge and the apex, lasting for about 2.5 to 3 seconds."

"This method of description, precise to the millimeter and second, is not something someone without research training could write."

Lu Chen paused.

"I just wrote it according to the situation at the time; those data points were already in my head when I was performing the procedure."

This was actually true.

The System's Master Level skill naturally came with an extremely precise parameter perception ability.

He could indeed perceive those data points when performing the procedure.
