There had been few incoming patients the day before and those already in the emergency ward had remained stable throughout the night. Hence, the shift handover was brief.
Once the handover and ward rounds were done, Old Chief Physician Pan returned to his office.
Zheng Ren called the two middle-aged visitors over to ask about the patient's history, checking their scans and medical test results.
The patient was a 69-year-old male with no prior medical conditions. A week ago, he had sustained some blunt force trauma and had gone to the local hospital for a check up. An ultrasound scan had revealed space-occupying lesions in the liver; the largest was 6 x 7 cm and suspected to be malignant.
The patient's medical history was simple and clear. The space-occupying lesions had spread throughout the liver and conventional surgery was no longer an option.
Right now, interventional surgery was the best route.
