~7 min read 1,331 words

Zheng Ren felt he first needed a medical record; after finishing his side's work, he would rush over, striving to finish the task early and get more task rewards.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Liu Zewei was already there, examining the medical records.

"Boss Zheng, you're back." Liu Zewei saw Zheng Ren and Su Yun arrive, then smiled and stood up to say.

"Sit, Old Liu." Zheng Ren smiled and said: "Are the patients still stable?"

"The previous batch of patients have been discharged; they're all doing well, follow-ups are normal, and there are records in the files." Liu Zewei began to report the situation of the ward.

Although there were only six beds, he still earnestly went through each patient's condition and the places he suspected might have problems.

Liu Zewei is meticulous, and Zheng Ren acknowledges this.

"Over the weekend we admitted new patients, but there's one patient I'm not sure about." Liu Zewei said.

"Huh?" Zheng Ren found it strange.

How could Liu Zewei, a top professor at the Provincial Capital Medical University Affiliated Hospital, still be unsure about a basic diagnosis?

"It's like this, Boss Zheng." Liu Zewei said hesitantly: "The patient's lab test results are all fine, but……"

"Old Liu, why are you hemming and hawing?" Su Yun held her phone, while contacting Zou Yu, she asked.

"This isn't the patient admitted yesterday, a 64-year-old female. The Inpatient Chief said she caused a disturbance last night." Liu Zewei said: "I didn't see it myself, so I dare not jump to conclusions; according to the Inpatient Chief, the patient might have hepatic encephalopathy."

"Who did the initial consultation?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Doctor Xiao Shen." Liu Zewei immediately replied: "The test indicators are normal; it's just that the patient's behavior is a bit strange."

"How is it strange?" Su Yun asked with a chuckle.

"Last night she caused a disturbance for an hour, insisting that the attendant in the neighboring bed go sleep elsewhere. She said her daughter is still a young maiden and cannot share a room with a man, otherwise it would be bad for her marriage." Liu Zewei's brows furrowed.

If it were hepatic encephalopathy, it would require a period of treatment, and there is a possibility the treatment might be ineffective. For Liu Zewei, this is not a very "economical" approach.

If patient turnover encounters a problem, the six beds become five, directly reducing the patient volume by about ten percent.

Having abandoned family and career to come to the capital for further study, Liu Zewei wishes he could have surgery every day.

Even after work, he would go to the community hospital to check on the construction progress. He felt somewhat sentimental, sighing that his fate would be better if he could come for further study after the community hospital's renovations were finished.

100 beds, Boss Zheng performs surgery every day……

I heard that a couple of days ago, the Director of Hepatobiliary in the capital had Boss Zheng induce hypoglycemia in him.

Liu Zewei envied this immensely; if he could also have hypoglycemia induced, how great that would be.

Although he's a bit bald, his physique is fine; performing eight or ten surgeries is no problem.

"How old is her daughter?" Su Yun asked: "The patient is 64, daughter 18? That's not likely."

"Her daughter is 43……" Liu Zewei said, "The attendant in the neighboring bed is a young man in his twenties."

43, a young maiden. This isn't the main point; the main point is that at this age she doesn't allow other patients' families to accompany her in the ward.

Zheng Ren flipped through the patient's medical record, first reviewing all lab tests and imaging data.

What Doctor Shen collected had no issues; it's a typical case of portal hypertension and gastric varices.

The blood ammonia levels are also within the normal range, showing no sign of hepatic encephalopathy.

"Let's go see the eye patient." Zheng Ren said after finishing viewing the films, standing up.

Su Yun quickly said: "Wait a moment, I'll directly tell Zou Yu to send the films to the email."

"……" Zheng Ren was speechless: "After all this time, what have you been chatting with her about?"

"Some situations regarding the Qin family; these big families have a lot going on. While it's possible they're just normally ill, other possibilities aren't few either. We need to be careful, not to provoke those we shouldn't provoke. Those people, for money, would do anything." Su Yun gave a hehe laugh and slipped her phone into her white coat pocket.

Zheng Ren also ignored Su Yun and headed straight to the ward.

Liu Zewei walked in front, not directly going to the problematic patient; with some time left before shift change, he took the opportunity to check on the patients.

Entering the ward, Liu Zewei began introducing from the patient near the door.

A bald doctor with the demeanor of an old scholar giving a young doctor a case brief—this contrast is hard to accept.

But the facts are right before our eyes, making it hard not to doubt.

Actually, the main point is that there is a postoperative patient who hasn't been discharged; listening to her family's attendant and observing the postoperative condition, the patients also feel the surgery was done quite well.

"Boss Zheng, this is a 64-year-old female patient with over twenty years of hepatitis B history; the exact timing is not detailed by the family." Liu Zewei approached the family of the problematic patient and began to explain the condition.

Zheng Ren carefully examined the patient; the diagnosis from the system panel matched the admission diagnosis, and there was no hepatic encephalopathy.

Zheng Ren had some doubts, so he still conducted a thorough examination.

There were also no positive signs of hepatic encephalopathy.

"Doctor, you must give me a thorough check-up." The patient's earnest attitude toward Zheng Ren was still fairly satisfactory: "I'm not an ordinary person; back home I have two oxen and eight sheep, plus several mu of land."

"……" Zheng Ren was first stunned, then smiled spontaneously, saying: "Rest assured, I will definitely perform the surgery well. For all patients, we will treat them equally."

"What does 'treat equally' mean?" the patient asked.

"It means everyone looks the same in my eyes." Zheng Ren smiled gently.

"That won't do! I'm not an ordinary person!" The patient stared at Zheng Ren, raising his voice a bit.

"Okay, okay, rest assured." Zheng Ren smiled and left the ward.

"Boss Zheng, does the patient have hepatic encephalopathy?" Liu Zewei was unsure.

"Pfft~" Su Yun burst out laughing as she left the ward: "It's not hepatic encephalopathy, it's a brain problem."

Liu Zewei also laughed.

He couldn't possibly lack the most basic judgment; he just didn't want his subjective judgment to affect, or even delay, Boss Zheng's judgment.

Zheng Ren examined the patient and conducted a detailed check; there were no signs of hepatic encephalopathy, and together with the lab tests it should rule out hepatic encephalopathy.

But her manner of speaking and her behavior and worldview…… can only be said to differ from ordinary people.

One grain of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people; Zheng Ren doesn't really mind the patient's self-importance.

"It's not that serious; let's hurry and do the surgery." Zheng Ren smiled and said: "Old Liu, say hello to Doctor Shen; when admitting patients in the future, pay a bit more attention."

"Okay." Liu Zewei agreed.

Although the Shou Bing had little chance of problems, I wasn't too worried either, but Zheng Ren also didn't want to deal much with such people.

On my end it's still fine; usually such people are a bit polite when talking to doctors. But talking to nurses, that's really hopeless.

Soon, doctors and nurses came to work one after another. Zheng Ren sat in the chair, watching the figure at the doorway. When he saw Director Kong appear, he immediately stood up and walked out.
