Chapter 435: I’m Not Sick, I Just Want Water!
So was this how a master craftsman felt like?
Zheng Ren sat by the small pond that resided in the System. He looked at the sparkling water and recalled the TIPS surgery process. He understood.
This was exactly how it was.
He howled into the sky, feeling carefree.
After crossing a huge mountain, he thought back and recalled all his stupid mistakes. He really did not know what he was thinking at the time.
However, the history of mankind or medical treatment, in general, had always been like this.
Many incurable diseases were so simple to fix when he reflected back at them.
For example, tuberculosis or malaria…
Perhaps if when he looked back at it many years later, cancer would not be considered a disease.
Zheng Ren was delighted. He glanced at the skill tree. The intervention skill tree was already as tall as a pavilion. Perhaps after completing the TIPS task, he would have a lot of time to practice his surgery. Maybe he could then improve his general surgery skills as well?
Because he was from the General Surgery Department, Zheng Ren had always been obsessed with improving his general surgery skills.
Slowly closing his eyes, Zheng Ren recalled the TIPS surgery process again. It had gone off so smoothly without a hitch. Even without the system’s pa.s.sive attribute of Luck +8, Zheng Ren was certain that when he was performing surgery, he only needed one needle for the puncture.
He rejoiced alone. After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Ren felt a little cold. He suddenly remembered that he was still taking a bath…
When he exited the System, the bath water was already slightly cold. His phone was beside him, its notification light in the upper right corner flas.h.i.+ng.
F*ck!
Had Xie Yiren kept contacting him?
He wiped his hands dry and picked up the phone. Zheng Ren saw that she had left him a message.
[Have you not come out of the bath yet? Don’t fall asleep in there. The porridge is in the living room downstairs. Remember to finish it and go to sleep. Have a good night.]
‘F*ck…’
Zheng Ren quickly replied to Xie Yiren’s message. He had been extremely busy today and had made a lot of mistakes. If it were not for her gentleness and thoughtfulness, he would have been hanged and beaten to death by now.
[I accidentally fell asleep in there so I’m going to eat porridge now. Good night and sweet dreams.]
After wiping the water off his body and changing into his pajamas, Zheng Ren went downstairs.
There was a thermal lunch box on the coffee table, coupled with a few other side dishes.
The porridge and side dishes all smelled delicious.
Because Su Yun was in the ICU caring for the patient with a ruptured liver, Zheng Ren did not dare waste his time. He might be woken up some time in the evening to go for surgery.
After finis.h.i.+ng his supper, he washed the bowls and chopsticks. After chatting with Xie Yiren for a while, he then went to bed.
However, that night, the night s.h.i.+ft G.o.ds had blessed him. There was no call from the emergency department.
Zheng Ren woke up naturally. Looking at the hazy morning light outside his window, the feeling was a little surreal.
It was too quiet.
When being so busy had become a habit, sleeping until he woke up naturally was a luxurious reward.
After breakfast, Zheng Ren’s phone suddenly rang as soon as he arrived at the hospital with Xie Yiren and Chu Yanran.
It was daytime, so he was not in a panic. Zheng Ren picked up the phone with a smile.
“h.e.l.lo, Chief Physician Pan.”
“Oh, got it. I’ll be there right away.”
Zheng Ren said a few simple words before hanging up.
“Where’s the patient?” Xie Yiren asked with concern.
“There’s no patient. ” Zheng Ren’s expression was a little helpless. “The two doctors in the emergency department have caught the flu…”
This year’s flu season seemed worse than usual.
It was already a miracle that the doctors and nurses in the emergency department could survive until now.
However, there were so few doctors in the emergency and pediatrics department respectively. Even if one of them fell, they could still manage to turn the situation around. It was amazing that everyone could survive by just putting in a little more effort on top of their hard work.
However, the two of them were unable to go to work at once. The emergency department’s schedule was stretched to the limit, about to collapse in an instant.
Chief Physician Pan was also helpless. He asked Zheng Ren to keep an eye on the department for a while he went to the main hospital to inquire some things.
Zheng Ren was also helpless. However, he could not do much in such an unexpected situation.
In the foreseeable future, the shortage of manpower in the emergency and pediatrics would lead to extremely serious consequences.
It would probably be the pediatrics department first. Many hospitals, even large tertiary grade a hospitals, already stopped seeing patients at night.
Reflecting on that, Zheng Ren did not want to think about it further.
Who truly knew when the time would come.
After bidding farewell to Xie Yiren and Chu Yanran, Zheng Ren called Chief Sun and asked him to send the patients off later. At the same time, he hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed to the emergency department before eight o’clock.
The doctor on the night s.h.i.+ft was already very busy. He looked exhausted, like he would fall asleep standing up.
Zheng Ren quickly replaced him and told him to go back and get some rest.
In this kind of working environment all year round, his body was in a sub-healthy state. It was normal for one to get sick. If he did not get sick and was able to guard over the department like a hawk, he would be an anomaly.
Chief Physician Pan was not around, and Zheng Ren did not manage the s.h.i.+ft. He only handed over the patient’s condition report to the doctor on the night s.h.i.+ft. After checking the room, he sat in the Internal Medicine Consultation Room and waited for the patient’s arrival.
There was no need to wait at all. In the morning, which was usually quite leisurely, the patients were being rushed over in an endless stream.
Zheng Ren was just a man with the System on his side.
To be honest, a place like the emergency department was more suitable for him than general surgery.
He did not have the time to question the System. The patients all sat across from him. He did not even need to ask for their medical history. The System’s diagnosis appeared at first glance in the upper-right corner of his vision. After that, he would begin the diagnosis and start the examination accordingly.
This kind of treatment process was extremely fast. Dozens of patients were quickly settled by Zheng Ren.
However, even when the patients who were being checked came back, there were also cases of patients piling up outside the Emergency Medical Department’s Office.
Zheng Ren was writing a diagnosis for a patient when a voice was suddenly overheard.
“Doctor, give me some water!”
He took a glance and saw a woman in her forties. Her hair was permed in a kind of afro style that was popular decades ago. She looked full of life and did not seem to be suffering from any illnesses.
Zheng Ren took another glance at the system’s diagnosis. There was nothing wrong with her, however, the green background was a little faint.
There seemed to be nothing wrong. If she was not sick, why would she need water?
“What’s the matter?” Zheng Ren asked as he finished the previous patient’s diagnosis.
“I have a headache. I need water.” The woman’s tone was very rude.
Zheng Ren glanced at the patients in the queue behind him. They did not have any objections. Although he was very unwilling, he still gave the diagnosis to the previous patient and let the woman sit down.
Based on Zheng Ren’s clinical experience, if a woman of this age were to lose her temper, she would be the most difficult to deal with.
If she were to line up at the back, she would cause trouble for the whole morning.
Bad money drove out good money. Therefore, all good people would suffer. This seemed to be the case.
Of course, if he was considered a legendary doctor, the patient could just be ignored and thrown out.
If she started to cause trouble, two police officers would appear and take her away… Zheng Ren felt that this situation was just a dream.
However, he lived in the secular world. There was nothing he could do.
“Headache? How long have you had it?” Although Zheng Ren knew that she was probably suffering from hysteria, he still asked his question patiently.
“Why are you asking so many questions!” The woman’s eyes hardened, the muscles on her face trembling. Zheng Ren felt like he was getting slapped in the face.
“Aren’t you here to see a doctor?”
“I just want some water. Are you deaf?”
