Chapter 102: Emergency in the Urology Department

Ji Xiang was training in the System Operating Room, and the results were remarkable.

This was his first time starting from Level 9, and the feeling was just different.

The System NPC taught meticulously, and Ji Xiang learned quickly.

High-level surgeries brought Ji Xiang a completely different feeling than before.

"Let's stop here for now."

As one surgery ended, the System NPC suddenly interrupted the rhythm.

Ji Xiang was startled, "Teacher, I'm still fine."

As he spoke, Ji Xiang looked again at the System Panel in the top right corner of his field of vision.

The Basic Endurance Value was still there; there was no problem.

"There is a System Task," the System NPC said. "No matter how many times you practice here, isn't it all for the sake of practice in reality?"

Oh?

Ji Xiang stared at the System Panel, and soon, the system issued a task.

【Emergency Task: Emergency! Emergency!!

Task Content: Correctly treat one emergency Patient.

Task Time: 12 hours.

Task Reward: 1000 Experience Points.】

After seeing this task, Ji Xiang felt uncomfortable all over; his whole person felt off.

Could it be that he had brushed the system the wrong way by farming task rewards?

How could it be that just after learning the surgical procedure for Interventional Embolization Hemostasis, the issued Emergency Task only gave 1000 Experience Points, without even any Surgical Points?

Damn it.

So stingy; it's just because he triggered a bug.

Seeing Ji Xiang stunned, the System NPC chuckled.

"Go."

Ji Xiang was also helpless; although the task didn't give much of a reward, he knew the System NPC's way of doing things.

He had better go.

"Teacher, then I'll be going first."

……

……

"I am Wu Zong from the Urology Department."

Wu Zong spoke into the phone, looking serious and professional.

Lu Kai held the phone, in the same frame as Wu Zong, and asked with a lewd expression, "Chief Resident Wu, there aren't many emergencies in the Urology Department; what do you usually do?"

"Study."

"Chief Resident Wu, don't talk nonsense. This isn't a TV interview; tell the truth."

"Just resting. Who knows when a call will come in and keep us busy all night. Although there aren't many emergencies in our Urology Department, if a Testicular Torsion or a car accident comes in at night, we still have to struggle all night.

The most hateful thing is that the little Nurses in other departments don't even try to insert a urinary catheter; they just pick up the phone and call the Urology Department."

The more Wu Zong talked, the more he got into character and the angrier he became, so Lu Kai quickly stopped him.

He wanted Wu Zong to say something serious that the audience would want to see, not to have Wu Zong start a fight, especially with a Nurse.

Lu Kai asked a few more questions.

Wu Zong answered them one by one without any impatience.

This was giving Lu Kai some face; in fact, Wu Zong was also quite interested in this kind of popular science-style short video.

"Chief Resident Wu, everyone says that our Urology Department is just for clearing out the sewers; what do you think?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Wu Zong said dismissively to the phone camera. "When Feynman was studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology back then... you know who Feynman is, right?"

"I know, I know, the one who researched the atomic bomb, right?" Lu Kai said.

Although it wasn't entirely correct, Wu Zong didn't correct him.

"When Feynman was studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he and his classmates had a dispute over whether urination was caused by gravity or pressure."

"..." Lu Kai was stunned; where was this even going?

"At the time, to prove it was pressure, Feynman practiced it himself, urinating while doing a handstand, using his own actions to prove that urination is caused by pressure."

"Look at the pioneers of physics; their practical, hands-on ability is just strong."

"Chief Resident Wu, this has to do with..."

"Of course it has to do with it. If Feynman had had a Urological Calculus at the time, how could he have been energetic and full of pressure while urinating in a handstand?"

"Chief Resident Wu, with you driving like this, where is the morality, where is the bottom line, and where is the website!" Lu Kai said with a grin.

"Our Urology Department treats Urological Calculus..."

"Chief Resident Wu, Gastrointestinal consultation!"

A Nurse suddenly shouted loudly.

Wu Zong glared fiercely at Lu Kai, as if it were Lu Kai's fault that an emergency came in at night.

"Coming! Stop recording, going to the consultation."

"I haven't been recording the whole time," Lu Kai said in a low voice.

Wu Zong had no interest in such puns; he shuffled in his slippers and walked quickly out of the Doctor's Office.

But the moment he stepped out of the Doctor's Office door, that damn sense of familiarity welled up.

Wu Zong used to hate this feeling, but after getting used to it, he felt it wasn't too bad.

Recently, his technical level has skyrocketed, and Laser Stone Crushing has already gained the approval of Liu Zhuren.

But this damn sense of familiarity!

"Doctor Xiao Ji." Wu Zong called out before he even saw the person.

"Wu Laozong, are you busy?"

Sure enough, Ji Xiang walked around the corner the next second.

"Going for a consultation."

"Wait for me a moment!"

Ji Xiang said immediately.

"Gastrointestinal, they said it's an emergency consultation; come find me there."

Although he was facing Ji Xiang, and still had that damn sense of familiarity, Wu Zong knew the importance of the situation; he didn't wait for Ji Xiang, but instead stated the location and trotted off, running toward the consultation like a dog off its leash.

There are generally only two possibilities for Gastrointestinal to ask for a consultation—Testicular Torsion, or trauma caused by car accidents and the like.

If they were asking for a consultation at night for Varicocele, the Resident Chief of Gastrointestinal wouldn't have a chance to see tomorrow's sunrise in one piece.

Ji Xiang knew there was an emergency, so he quickly changed into his White Uniform and strode toward the Gastrointestinal Surgery department.

Receiving a hemorrhage case in Gastrointestinal? Ji Xiang felt something was off.

He pondered while quickening his pace to hurry to Gastrointestinal.

Just as he entered the ward area door, he heard a scream coming from the Treatment Room.

"Wait a moment," Wu Zong said, "Give a shot of Dulingding!"

Uh, Ji Xiang was stunned; what kind of Patient is this?

It seemed different from what he had imagined.

Entering the Treatment Room, Ji Xiang saw a 12 or 13-year-old boy lying on the examination bed with his pants pulled down to his knees, and Wu Zong's hand was pressing on his testicle.

"It's torsion, not Appendicitis; whose shift is it in the Emergency Department?" Wu Zong muttered in a low voice.

He didn't say the second half of the sentence—whether they knew how to diagnose—but it was clear he was very anxious.

Mistaking Testicular Torsion for Appendicitis? How did they diagnose the illness!

Ji Xiang's mind stirred, and he arrived in the System Space.

Testicular Torsion is one of the key emergency conditions in the Urology Department, but the System NPC had never taught him the technique for manual reduction.

Because his foundation was solid, Ji Xiang understood the principles and could operate, but for the sake of caution, he still sought advice from the System NPC.

"Teacher, it's not a hemorrhage after a partial Kidney Resection, but a Patient with Testicular Torsion," Ji Xiang said after entering.

"Oh."

"I think it seems like the Emergency Department made a diagnostic error, mistaking Testicular Torsion for Appendicitis and admitting them to Gastrointestinal. Fortunately, Gastrointestinal Surgery was diligent and discovered the problem."

"It's not entirely a misdiagnosis, but the probability of this situation occurring is not high."

The System NPC said indifferently.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition enveloped Ji Xiang.

Could it be...

"Want to go experience it?" the System NPC asked.

Testicular Torsion, that is Testicular Torsion!

Ji Xiang stared blankly at the System NPC.

Damn Urology Department, it will be fine once I go to other departments, Ji Xiang thought to himself.
