Chapter 1344: 1304 The Single Dog Who Gets Abused in All Rescues (Chief Alliance CCA Spicy Hotpot Extra Chapter 4)

Typical severe symptoms include fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes; severe cases may also show hepatosplenomegaly.

"Only a small number will develop splenic rupture as a complication." Zheng Ren explained.

"……" Xie Yiren was speechless.

"Hey……" Zheng Ren gradually came to from the emergency rescue, immediately realizing he was strolling in the park with Xie Yiren, not preparing for surgery on the operating table, nor explaining his judgment to other doctors in the resuscitation room.

Is this me courting death? Zheng Ren's adrenaline surged again instantly, soaking his clothes with sweat.

"Yi Ren, I'm sorry, I……" Zheng Ren said hesitantly.

"You're amazing!" Xie Yiren had no other reaction, instead she hugged Zheng Ren's arm and said admiringly.

"It's rare, but not unseen." Zheng Ren smiled, disturbed; although he felt a bit unsatisfied, he wasn't particularly unhappy.

This is fine……

This is fine……

"The surgery should be fine, right? Want to go back?" Xie Yiren looked eager to get into surgery.

He's even more eager to get into surgery than I am; Zheng Renye was also speechless.

"Probably not needed; the surgery isn't difficult. It's not our surgery, always going to other departments to observe isn't good either." Zheng Ren said.

"Oh." Xie Yiren was a little disappointed.

"What to eat tonight?" Zheng Ren shifted the topic to something that would please Xie Yiren.

In an instant she became happy, hugging Zheng Ren's arm: "Su Yun is asking everyone's opinions in the group. Yue Jie doesn't mind; as long as there's alcohol, anything goes. I don't know what to eat either; actually anything is fine as long as it's tasty."

"Hehe." Zheng Ren laughed; a true foodie is like that, not picky at all.

"Let me see what they've decided." The Chu family sisters said they wanted to go play in the Gobi Desert together; we were discussing whether to bring barbecue stuff. Xie Yiren took out her phone, scrolling through the flooded group chat while speaking.

"No need for that hassle; Liu Xu zhi definitely doesn't even have a barbecue grill." Zheng Ren said.

"That's true." Xie Yiren laughed: "But the lamb around now is pretty ordinary; the main thing is to look at the stars, look at the stars."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with starlight, sparkling brightly.

……

……

Ward 912, Emergency Department, the 120 ambulance brought the patient back.

The stretcher waited; Zhou Litao's freckles seemed to exude the adrenaline and dopamine released during the major emergency rescue.

The ambulance stopped quickly yet smoothly at the entrance; the stretcher was brought up and the patient was pushed onto it.

This set of rescue moves showed assembly-line proficiency.

"How should we handle it?" Zhou Litao glanced at the patient; his face was pallid, he was curled on the stretcher, cold sweat beading at his temples and forehead.

"I ran into Zheng Lao Ban; he said we should consider splenic rupture. I called the hepatobiliary department from the ambulance, and they'll come for a consultation right away. Zheng Lao Ban said, do an emergency bedside ultrasound and push straight to prep for surgery." Zheng Ren said.

"Zheng Lao Ban?" Zhou Litao felt that this name had been haunting him for a long time.

How is even the 120 ambulance connected to him?

The stretcher was pushed in, and the emergency bedside ultrasound had already begun.

"Zheng Lao Ban and his girlfriend were strolling in the park and happened to meet; it was his girlfriend who called the emergency rescue." The doctor from the Emergency Rescue Service was filling out the receipt while speaking.

Girlfriend……

That word was like a sharp dagger stabbing into Zhou Litao's heart; after inserting the dagger, he even gave it a couple of twists.

Myocardial rupture, cardiac tamponade, distant and muffled heart sounds—Zhou Litao immediately felt his breathing begin to deteriorate.

Wounds piled up.

Is it really me who needs rescuing?

Even the emergency rescue has to torment this single dog?

Just thinking about Zheng Lao Ban's life—performing surgery on world‑top experts, receiving flowers, applause, glory; yet he even finds time for a girlfriend…… Zhou Litao's heart ached again.

Tears streamed down his face.

Grief surged inward like a river.

Damn, people really can't be compared.

"Manager Zhou, fluid around the spleen, deepest depth 5 cm. Liver and kidneys normal, slight pelvic fluid—consider splenic rupture." The emergency bedside ultrasound doctor's voice interrupted Zhou Litao's thoughts.

Zhou Litao glanced; the venous line had already been set up during the emergency bedside ultrasound, saline dripping in. Meanwhile, the nurse had finished drawing blood, sending it for emergency testing and cross‑match.

For such a patient, to the Ward 912 Emergency Department, even rescue is unnecessary—just a simple splenic rupture.

Exactly, just a splenic rupture.

When arriving at the hospital, as long as there's still a breath, one won't die.

Ward 912—just that confident!

Zhou Litao watched two doctors, a nurse, and a stretcher bearer rush the gurney at sprint speed to the Gan Dan Wai Ke; he sighed.

Couldn't Zheng Lao Ban get a diagnosis wrong just once?

He can diagnose rare diseases; common illnesses pose no problem. Even a casual stroll in the park can net him a splenic rupture.

When encountering an abnormality outdoors, shouldn't one first suspect myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, or hypoglycemia?

The patient wore a spotless white dress; at a glance it was neither a traffic accident nor a fight. So although Zhou Litao didn't ask about the onset, he still had some guesses.

Damn! Having a girlfriend is bad enough, but his diagnosis has never been wrong. As for surgery, legend has it he loftily sits on clouds.

Zhou Litao felt somewhat despondent and discouraged.

He didn't envy Zheng Ren's high diagnostic skill, nor his ability to operate on Dr. Mei Ha'er, nor even that the hospital president turned his gaze toward Zheng Ren.

He only envied that Zheng Ren had a girlfriend.

Inpatient Chief, damn, not a human job!

Fortunately, there are still three months left, and the damned Inpatient Chief will be over. By then I'll also find a girlfriend! As long as I'm not on duty, I'll take her for a stroll in the park! Under the flowers and moon, sweet and lovely…

As he thought, Zhou Litao's freckles all broke into a smile like a blooming flower.

"Manager Zhou, what are you thinking?" a nurse cleaning the resuscitation room looked up, saw Zhou Litao spacing out, his face wearing a weird expression, and asked.

"Not being the Inpatient Chief, go find a girlfriend." Zhou Litao blurted out his true feelings.

"Manager Zhou, I suggest you go to Korea first." the little nurse laughed and said: "Actually, whether you have a girlfriend or not really has nothing to do with being the Inpatient Chief. If you had half the looks of Yun Ge'er... When Yun Ge'er was the Inpatient Chief at Xiehe, he even had a fan club, yet still lacked a girlfriend?"

Zhou Litao wore a black‑line face, watching the direction the hallway cart disappeared, his gaze unusually deep.
