Chapter 1359: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,338 words

That person had nothing wrong; Zheng Ren had already seen it on the System Panel.

She didn't dare to extort either; the pressure brought by that burly big man was not trivial; she probably believed her own troublemaking words, that the burly big man would ruin her family.

The fierce fear the stubborn, the stubborn fear the reckless; it has always been so.

Family members helped her up, saying they would go to the Emergency Department to check.

Zhou Chun Yong was still worried about changes, and proactively suggested taking her to the Emergency Department for a check, to stay overnight for observation, just in case.

Su Yun chuckled and said, 'Director Zhou, you still have an Emergency Department here?'

'It's a Specialty Hospital; the Emergency Department only handles minor injuries and illnesses. Major rescues like car accidents are all sent to your 912.'

'It's over, nothing wrong.' Su Yun turned back, glanced at the 'little fox spirit' negotiating and that middle-aged man, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He shook his head and said, 'That old geezer is also quite capable, impressive!'

"This young man, the family shame has been exposed today, that's all there is to it." A family member standing nearby said: "The little fox spirit isn't the first; it's the new one that old immortal found these past two years. Before, he had found who knows how many."

As for this romantic affair, Zheng Ren had no interest at all, but Su Yun walked over with great enthusiasm, chatting with the patient's family while heading to the Emergency Department.

Naturally interested in all gossip, and with his eloquence, who knows when at some drinking gathering he realized this guy could talk the heavens into chaos.

"Zheng Lao Ban, you see how today's matter blew up—you haven't eaten enough, have you?" Zhou Chun Yong gave a bitter smile.

"It's normal, but..." Zheng Ren Gang wanted to speak, then laughed first, "Forget it, it's quite rare. I've never seen it in Haicheng; if anything, it's you city folks who know how to play."

Hearing Zheng Ren's joke, Zhou Chun Yong was not angry but pleased.

"Zheng Lao Ban treats me as a friend," he chuckled and said, "A seventy-year-old old man finding a twenty-something girl—I've seen that before. But this one today is also the first time I've seen it."

There are countless capable people in this world; truly enviable.

After exchanging a few jokes with Zhou Chun Yong, we all the way escorted the woman who had been slapped to the Emergency Department. Seeing Zhou Chun Yong arrive, the Jizhen Wai Ke doctor's lax demeanor immediately straightened up.

He indeed has considerable authority; even those slackers in the Emergency Department fear him thus, and Zheng Ren formed a deeper judgment of Zhou Chun Yong.

That Jizhen Wai Ke doctor began the physical examination, checking for neurological symptoms, conducting it very formally.

Zheng Ren thought, perhaps this doctor wanted to test whether he could get into Zhou Chun Yong's good graces, and maybe then transfer into Intervention Department One.

He had little interest in the affairs here, but Su Yun was still chatting with the family, her eyebrows flying and face animated. The family member caught Su Yun's enthusiasm and also spoke happily. Unconsciously, Su Yun pumped them for a lot of gossip.

In the Internal Medicine Emergency consultation room, a patient whose System Panel glowed faintly red sat chatting idly with the internal medicine doctor.

The emergency doctors at this Specialty Hospital are really idle; Zheng Ren felt a bit envious.

But thinking about it, the Gan Dan Wai Ke and Intervention Department here are the main focus, treating liver cancer, portal hypertension, etc.

Big hospitals, small specialties—this has been the direction of medical development in Di Du for decades.

It really resembles those large specialty geriatric hospitals in Di Du, which are not many.

Hence the saying that Xiehe is the last stop for domestic patients.

The Di Du Gan Dan Wai Ke Emergency Department is like a community clinic; the vast majority of slightly serious patients are simply pushed away.

For example, a patient with intestinal obstruction who comes to Di Du Gan Dan Wai Ke—even if admitted, there is no corresponding department to perform surgery.

Recalling the busyness of Haicheng First Hospital's Emergency Department and the doctor here leisurely chatting with patients, Zheng Ren felt that working as an Emergency Department doctor here might not be bad either.

"Doctor, you prescribed these few medicines for me—can I take them?" the patient asked, sitting in the chair.

Zheng Ren listened attentively.

Normally he wouldn't gossip like this, but since he couldn't leave yet and found the work situation in the Di Du Gan Dan Wai Ke Emergency Department interesting, he listened to a few sentences.

"Twenty-two yuan's worth of medicine, and you still think it's not enough?" the internal medicine emergency doctor leaned back in the chair, relaxed as if sunbathing on a beach in Ma'erdi fu.

"Just twenty-two yuan's worth of medicine, prescribe a bit more," the patient said.

"What nonsense, you just have a cold and still want me to admit you to the hospital?" The doctor chuckled and said, "Right, or I could admit you and you can play for two days."

"..." The patient stared for a moment.

"If you don't mind, I'll admit you to palliative care; after seeing it, you'll surely be full of hope for life." The internal medicine emergency doctor chuckled.

"Never mind, I'll just go do something if there's nothing wrong." The patient chuckled, didn't mind, picked up the prescription slip, and said, "Doctor, when should I take this medicine?"

"How so?" The internal medicine emergency doctor looked at the patient with a grin and said, "Are you still planning to pick an auspicious day, sacrifice a rooster, offer it to heaven first, and then take the medicine?"

"..."

"Or maybe you're just waiting until New Year?"

"..."

Zheng Ren was speechless; if in Haicheng an Emergency Department doctor dared to speak to a patient like that, his brains would probably be beaten out.

"Let me tell you a joke—you're not in a hurry to go home and take medicine, are you? Long night, sleepless, we hit it off; come, sit here and chat a while." The internal medicine emergency doctor laughed heartily, obviously having thought of something amusing.

That patient was also interesting; he loved gossip, felt the doctor was affable and approachable, had nothing else to do, so he lingered, listening to gossip.

"When I first started working, I was at a tiny clinic in a fifth-tier city out there... now looking back, it's just a clinic."

"Hey, you're a leftover from graduate school entrance exams?"

"If I were a graduate student, I'd have gone straight to the main campus; could I still end up in emergency? I married into the family and came to Di Du." The internal medicine emergency doctor said proudly.

This topic had wandered off to the skies; Zheng Ren felt a bit bored, glanced over at Zhou Chun Yong's side, and saw the Jizhen Wai Ke doctor still showing off his physical examination skills.

"In our hospital, a Deputy Chief once removed a patient's appendix. After the operation, the patient felt no better—kept getting injections and taking oral meds, still in pain."

"Then what happened?"

"Later he had no choice either. Back then transportation wasn't nearly as good as now, and coming to Di Du for treatment wasn't convenient either." The internal medicine emergency doctor said: "But since the patient wasn't improving, he tried a remedy—following his hometown's custom, he sacrificed a rooster, drank yellow liquor, to drive away evil. Just then, the head of the Medical Affairs Department accompanied the hospital director on a clinical round, and happened to see it!"

Zheng Ren's mind instantly pictured Director Yan, accompanied by Director Ye, making rounds in the wards, seeing him sacrifice a rooster to treat a patient…

It's so vivid, too beautiful to bear looking at directly.
