Chapter 1608: with translation of chapter title

1556 After crying and crying, I got hungry; even if it's an amputation, I still need to first skewer some meat.

After finishing everything, Zheng Ren returned to the Emergency Department chief's office and saw Xiao Yi sitting quietly in a chair, watching the IV drip.

"Has it been confirmed?" Xiao Yi whispered.

Zheng Ren nodded.

After all that turmoil, Zheng Ren vaguely realized that he usually dumped too much of his time into clinical work, more or less neglecting the people around him.

When nothing was wrong, he didn't feel anything.

But as soon as he heard that Director Pan had lung cancer and was nearing the end, his heart filled with regret.

He should still spend more time accompanying them normally.

People always have that day; only by spending more time together will they avoid regret.

"What should we eat? I'll go buy." Xiao Yi stood up and asked.

Zheng Ren strode over and hugged Xiao Yi in his arms.

"Su Yun is here!" Xie Yi struggled a bit but couldn't break free.

She could feel Zheng Ren's warmth and firm attitude; what was going on? However, Xiao Yi didn't think too much and instead hugged Zheng Ren back.

"Hey, you can't just scatter dog food like that." Su Yun said from the side.

Chang Yue chuckled.

Zheng Ren also didn't say any sentimental or moving words; a few seconds later, after letting go of Xie Yi, he took her hand and said: "The diagnosis is clear, it's definitely a Marnebacillus infection. It's fine, it's fine."

Xie Yi nodded, then glanced at her own toes, hiding her shyness.

"I'm hungry, just order something to eat." Su Yun said: "Where are the director's family?"

"He said his unit is busy and didn't inform his family." Chang Yue said.

"Order a bowl of porridge for the director, don't eat greasy stuff." Su Yun took out her phone, preparing to order food.

"Let me do it." Xie Yi hurriedly said: "The director is asleep, don't speak in the room, go check the emergency department; I'll call you when the food arrives."

Pushed out by Xie Yi, Zheng Ren scratched his head.

There was a feeling of having escaped death.

"Where is Director Wang?" He only then realized Director Wang wasn't beside him, not knowing when he had gone off to be busy.

"When doing the bronchoscopy, the emergency department admitted an appendicitis case and went for surgery. I guess it's about done by now, order food… never mind, Xiao Yi must be in contact with the operating room." Su Yun took a breath, her black hair fluttering in front of her forehead, feeling cheerful.

As long as it's fine.

Zheng Ren stood in the hallway, watching people come and go, feeling as if he had returned to the past.

"How is it, do you want to come back?" Su Yun asked from the side.

"It's okay, but I can't go home every day, I feel terrible." Zheng Ren spoke frankly.

"Inpatient Chief," that kind of position, if you're reluctant to leave, then you're truly sick. Although Zheng Ren is like a stone, here accumulated damage can wear down bone, but even a stone isn't enough.

"Director Wang said, we've replaced some people on this side, adding fresh blood."

"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded; in the consultation room, he saw unfamiliar faces.

They were said to be strangers, but actually everyone knew them; just not very familiar, the type you nod at when you meet.

At around eight in the evening, the emergency department was at its busiest; Zheng Ren didn't go to greet anyone, just casually looked around.

Looking around, three or four female students walked in through the door, with one of them hopping along in the middle.

It seemed her foot was injured; Zheng Ren glanced at the color on the system panel, but didn't pay much attention.

It's just a simple external injury; what's there to see?

The female students were hopping; a girl with twin braids ran up first to ask for directions.

"Doctor, where is the surgery department?"

"Inside, the second door on the right." Zheng Ren said.

The female student didn't speak, just looked at Su Yun, her eyes flashing with an unusual light.

Zheng Ren shrugged his shoulders; this was expected.

"My classmate seems to need an amputation; it's pretty serious, does it need emergency rescue?" the girl asked.

"An amputation?" Zheng Ren and Su Yun both froze.

Looking at that girl hopping in, she seems fine; how could she need an amputation?

"How did she get injured?" Su Yun asked.

"In the afternoon, while running, she got stepped on her foot, it's all swollen, looking particularly scary." The girl told Su Yun, beginning to recount her medical history.

In the distance, the injured girl slowly hopped over.

Zheng Ren glanced at the system panel—left foot external injury.

The diagnosis is so simple it's almost trivial; the system didn't even bother to give a more detailed diagnosis, Zheng Ren knew there definitely wasn't a serious problem.

Not even a compartment syndrome, just cutting off a thread-like limb.

"We sent her to the school infirmary right away; the school doctor took one look and said it was too serious for him to handle." The girl said, starting to get anxious, "Then they told us we needed an amputation, so we came."

"Which school are you from?" Su Yun asked coldly.

The girl named a local school in Hai Cheng.

"Did you hop all the way here? Or is your school doctor off work late?" Su Yun, from her statement, instantly found a loophole.

"We..." she said, a little embarrassed.

Zheng Ren smelled the rich aroma of barbecue skewers around him, sighed inwardly, these kids really have big hearts—on one hand they're facing amputation, on the other they went to grab some skewers before coming over.

If this were really an emergency, it's probably already too late.

"It's not that we're scared of hospitalization leading to amputation; we cried because we were frightened. Crying and crying, we got hungry, ate something at the school gate, then rushed over." The girl said, a little embarrassed.

Same as what Zheng Ren guessed.

I really don't know what they're thinking, but Zheng Ren found it amusing and gave a slight smile.

Jizhen Wai Ke was busy, with a crowd of people lined up at the entrance.

"Doctor, could you take a look?" The girl felt embarrassed and shy, glancing at Su Yun, she asked softly.

Su Yun refused.

But three or four girls nearby pleaded in coquettish voices, passersby kept giving strange looks, Zheng Ren frowned and said, "Just take a glance; it's probably not a serious illness."

Su Yun glared at Zheng Ren, but also noticed many people staring at her; helpless, she had no choice but to take the giggling girls to the treatment room.

1′22″ later, a miserable scream came from the treatment room.

Zheng Renye didn't bother either; it should be a physical exam—the girl was rather delicate, and just touching the wound made her start screaming.

If I were doing the exam, maybe it would be better. But when Su Yun does it, even just touching the foot makes things different.

Hehe, Zheng Ren chuckled.

By the way, the school infirmary is really unreliable—all sorts of bizarre things happen.

Hai Cheng, in order to develop its economy, moved a batch of colleges to the outskirts ten years ago. With more colleges, jokes about the school infirmary have multiplied.

At one college, the infirmary always has only an Obstetrics Department doctor.

At another college, the infirmary always only prescribes anti-inflammatory medicine.

Zheng Ren had high doubt about whether they had a medical license.

Like today's female student, it was just a minor injury—some cold compress at home would suffice—but the infirmary said she needed an amputation.

I really don't know what kind of mindset one must have to say something like that.
