Episode 18 recap: Rudolph was captivated by Zheng Ren's talent.
Chang Yue looked at the nursery of the conjoined twins and sighed that the conjoined twins test results had come out, and in another month, the surgery could be performed. Zheng Ren also nodded in agreement, feeling that they now needed to apply for the surgical navigation system. Chang Yue inquired about the surgical team members, and Zheng Ren said he had almost finalized the team.
Zheng Ren gave Chang Yue the invitations he had made, including Su Yun's. Zheng Ren personally went to find Su Yun, wanting to invite her to join the team. He knew that Su Yun was still holding the scalpel, and now being a medical assistant would be a great humiliation for her, but Zheng Ren knew that Su Yun wished for the surgery to succeed more than anyone, hoping the conjoined sisters would survive.
Zheng Ren said this was a special surgery, and every member was an indispensable part. Su Yun was also a very good companion, as she had once helped him, and now he wanted to bring Su Yun in. Su Yun cried gratefully and accepted Zheng Ren's invitation, but then wondered if she had agreed too quickly.
Xie Yi Ren heard from his colleagues that Su Yun had agreed to participate in the surgery, and they all felt that Zheng Ren was impressive to have convinced Su Yun. Xie Yi Ren thought they had reconciled out of mutual understanding. He Qian also expressed eagerness to join Zheng Ren's team, and Zheng Ren had already told him that there would be no allowances or compensation until they achieved results.
Su Li also stated that the team would have to cover all the expenses themselves. He Qian was a bit worried about the salary issue. Su Yun directly told him that they must do it, both for the patient and for the sake of medicine. He Qian said he would think about it, and Su Yun told Zheng Ren that he knew He Qian wouldn't come back, as he was quite short on money.
Zheng Ren said he had checked He Qian's resume and he had 15 years of experience, so he shouldn't be holding back. At home, He Qian wanted to discuss it with his wife, but when he saw her wanting to ask him for money, he didn't speak up.
Xie Yi Ren brought the pumpkin cakes he had made to Zheng Ren, and Su Yun, who saw Zheng Ren eating one without vomiting, criticized the strange taste of cumin and salt together. Zheng Ren seemed to be reminiscing about something. Xie Yi Ren explained that he had made the pumpkin cakes based on information he had gathered from Pan Shi Hai. Su Yun told Xie Yi Ren that they didn't have funding for the conjoined twins surgery, and He Qian was a bit hesitant. Xie Yi Ren thought there might be some foundations online that they could reach out to for sponsorship, like they had done with Peng Jia.
Su Yun felt that Peng Jia's ambitions were too big, and cooperating with him would be like "courting the tiger for its skin", so she decided not to think about it anymore. Lin Yuan brought the medical records for Zheng Ren to look at. This patient was the wife of the department director, and an old classmate of Pan Shi Hai. This pregnant woman's situation was quite complex, so Lin Yuan decided to take an intrauterine intervention approach. Su Yun advised Lin Yuan that this sounded very perfect, but it's not available domestically and has a very high mortality rate.
Su Yun stated that if they chose the third option, there could be a risk of danger for both the mother and child. Zheng Ren felt they needed to see what the patient's preference was. Su Yun looked at the patient and thought it was difficult to decide whether to prioritize the mother or the baby. Lin Yuan also told Zheng Ren that she was able to survive because her mother persisted, and she really hoped this surgery would be successful.
The patient, after hearing Zheng Ren's opinion, wanted to get her husband's support to give it a try. Lin Yuan quickly advised Zheng Ren not to give up after seeing him leave, saying Zheng Ren's surgery plan was good and she didn't have the heart to give up either. Zheng Ren said he wanted to give it a try, and Lin Yuan pinned her hopes on Zheng Ren.
Su Yun and Zheng Ren simulated the surgery on the computer, but both failed. Yet Zheng Ren still didn't give up. Su Yun felt this difference between them was why they were growing further apart. Su Yun handed the surgical simulation over to Su Li, and the other doctors felt the simulation was just a simulation and the hospital shouldn't take such risks, but they also thought some innovation was still needed.
Su Li came to see the patient and shared her own experiences, and the patient Tangtang felt that rather than suffering when the baby came out later, it would be better to do it while still in her own body, and she was willing to take the risk. Su Li told Zheng Ren to prepare for the surgery, and Lin GeZhao Xin both knew the chances of success were not high.
Rudolph also came, and he was very doubtful whether Zheng Ren could succeed. Everyone was very nervous about this surgery Zheng Ren was attempting. But unexpectedly, he succeeded, and even Rudolph admired Zheng Ren. He Qian, seeing Peng Jia's call, told him firmly that he was a doctor, not a pimp, rejecting Peng Jia's offer, but now felt very proud of himself.
