<h4>Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Quirky Conundrum</h4><h4></h4>


    At this moment, Xiao Yifei and his peers were also peering into ssroom 305 through the window. Worried that they wouldn’t be able to hear the voices inside, they quickly fell silent and focused intently on the ssroom, their hearts filled with concern.


    Xiao Yifei, however, had no such worries. He leaned casually against the wall, his face disying a nonchnt interest in the ssroom proceedings. He merely wanted to see just how impressive his students were.


    Seeing Xiao Yifei’s indifferent demeanor, the leaders and teachers suddenly felt somewhat dissatisfied. Xiao Yifei clearly wasn’t taking the school’s reputation to heart!


    Meanwhile, inside ssroom 305, the short, stout man and the other two teachers stood behind the podium,mencing their scrutiny.


    It was called an inspection, but their method was surprisingly simple, so simple that it was unexpected—they simply asked questions, nothing but questions.


    This simplistic approach left the teachers in the hallway thoroughly astounded, no one had anticipated such a method of inspection.


    Yet when they heard the questions that were being asked, they suddenly saw it differently, for not one of the questions could be answered easily. They were all tricky and odd, and most crucially, the questions were somehow linked to the ’Surgery’ test from the exam. While there was a link, it didn’t make answering the questions any easier!


    It was clear that Huaxia Medical University had gone to great lengths for this inspection; their questions left no room for idle chatter. They were well-reasoned and rted to the exam topics. Should anyone try to argue, they could simply say, "If you could answer the test questions so well, why can’t you answer these rted questions?"


    Upon hearing the questions asked, the leaders who had begun to feel optimistic were suddenly rmed, their eyes filled with deep concern.


    "We’re doomed now!"


    Only Tan Lan still wore a look of indifference on her face.


    "Come on then, I just had a look, and it seems your ss numbers start from 45, right? So, let’s have student number 45 stand up and answer this question," said the short, stout man with a smile that in any light seemed like that of a ’smiling tiger.’


    Although the students were unclear about the specifics, they could tell that these people bore hostility towards Xiao Yifei because of their exam results. And anyone who dared to oppose their most respected Teacher Xiao was essentially taking on the whole ss!


    Therefore, the students did not show the slightest bit of friendliness toward the portly man.


    After hearing the question posed by the short, stout man, the first person to be questioned happened to be Gu Teng.


    Outside the window, all the leaders and teachers from Yanjing Medical University held their breath with intense nervousness, fixated on Gu Teng.


    Gu Teng suddenly stood up, his eyes didn’t even nce at the short and fat man as he confidently began to speak aloud, "Our Teacher Xiao said..."


    The problem posed by the short and fat man wasn’t a concept from the book; instead, he presented an extremely difficult practical question for number 45, Gu Teng, to answer.


    "Female patient, 65 years old, has been passing mucus, pus, and bloody stools for an unclear reason for the past six months, loose and unformed. urring 4 to 6 times a day but not inrge amounts. In the past 2 to 3 days, she has felt abdominal distention. Physical exam: T, 37.8℃, BP 95/58mmHg, P 92 beats per minute, emaciated appearance, abdominal distention, no abdominal muscle tension, tenderness but no rebound pain, a fixed, hard mass palpable in the left lower abdomen, hyperactive bowel sounds, negative shifting dullness, WBC count 10.5×109/L, and an abdominal in film suggesting colonic gas. What is the most likely disease this patient is suffering from? What is the diagnostic basis? What further examinations are needed? What are the principles of treatment?"


    Gu Teng suddenly stood up, his eyes didn’t nce at the short and fat man as he confidently began to say aloud, "Our Teacher Xiao said, the most likely diagnosis for this patient is sigmoid colon cancer with iplete intestinal obstruction. The diagnostic basis is: 1. A 65-year-old elderly female. 2. Symptoms from the past six months of passing mucus, pus, and bloody stools..."


    Under the worried gaze of leaders and teachers from Yanjing Medical University outside the window, and under the smug looks of the three members of the examination team in ssroom 305, Gu Teng confidently gave out the solution to the problem, without missing a single word, not a single detail!


    This answer shocked the short and fat man, who furrowed his brows and stared intently at Gu Teng, saying nothing.


    And the leaders and teachers of Yanjing Medical University outside the window, who heard Gu Teng’s answer, were utterly stunned; they had just been prepared to listen to Gu Teng’s answer, expecting to lose facepletely. Yet, Gu Teng managed to answer the short and fat man’s question without error, noting that for them it was also a question that required serious consideration before they could answer it—and certainly not asprehensively as Gu Teng did!


    The short and fat man from the examination team obviously hadn’t expected a student to answer his question, knowing beforehand that it took thebined efforts of half the school to find a few issues from the examination paper that could trip up the students. He had thought that any one of these issues would be enough to stump the students, but the first one he encountered had answeredpletely and urately—how was this possible!


    The short and fat man was clearly still in a state of shock, staring dumbfoundedly at Gu Teng with disbelief in his eyes.


    Gu Teng didn’t even pay attention to the short and fat man; after answering the question, he snorted coldly at the short and fat man. Without waiting for a response, he suavely took his seat again and the awesome demeanor he disyed somewhat echoed Xiao Yifei’s graceful departure from the ssroom.


    After a while, the short and fat man finally recovered from his state of surprise and felt he had lost hisposure. He could not help butugh and wipe his mouth, "Haha, this student is truly excellent, managing to answer the question without missing a single word. It seems that student number 45 must rank amongst the top in your ss."


    To cover up hispse, the short and fat man continued, "I believe this student can perform well in the examination. Well, let’s continue with the examination, number 46, stand up and answer the question."


    A glint shed in the eyes of the short and fat man. He couldn’t afford to slip up with the next question, or it would be truly embarrassing. Squinting his eyes and with a beaming smile, he turned to the student with number 46 and said, "Please outline the general and localplications of acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis, in theplete version."


    The student from ss Clinical (3) with number 46 also stood up, his eyes sweeping over the short and fat man with disdain before he decisively began, "Our Teacher Sun said, due to inmmation causing circtory instability, shock might ur, inmmatory mediators and cytokines can lead to respiratory failure, renal failure. Localplications include tissue necrosis of the pancreas..."


    After finishing, this student too emitted a cold snort and then sat back down in his seat.


    Again, not a single word off! Again, not the slightest deviation! Again, the answer came without a moment’s hesitation to a difficult question painstakingly selected by the short and fat man.


    The room fell intoplete silence, not just the three members of the examination team but also everyone at Yanjing Medical University outside the window, except for Xiao Yi and Tan Lan, stared wide-eyed and speechless! No one expected that asking such difficult questions to two students would result in both of them being able to answer correctly!
