Chapter 1713: 1654 Asking the World What Love Is

Zheng Ren saw the patient again unconsciously pick up his phone, looked at himself with disgust, gave a wry smile, then turned and left.

He's just a doctor, not his parents or lover, so there's no need to tell him how to live his life.

As long as the disease is cured and the patient discharged smoothly, anything goes; as for the patient himself, just being happy is enough.

The moment he saw the System Panel diagnose it wasn't hepatic encephalopathy, Zheng Ren felt relieved. Seeing the patient speak clearly and his game movements very practiced, Zheng Ren confirmed the diagnosis of Big Pig Trotter.

Leaving the ward, Zheng Ren saw Su Yun with a somewhat solemn expression making a phone call at the end of the corridor.

His heart stirred, he didn't go listen to what Su Yun was saying, but instead waited for him at the office doorway.

Soon, Su Yun finished the call, walked over and said: "Boss, do you still remember the boss of the pig liver shop?"

"Yes, what's up?"

"His chef Da Liu, do you still remember him?"

Zheng Ren remembered, Da Liu's wife had an ectopic pregnancy, it wasn't with him… that medical ethics decision, he still had an impression of it.

"Da Liu has gone crazy." Su Yun sighed.

"Gone crazy?" Zheng Ren couldn't tell if it was a noun or an adjective, so he asked in surprise.

"Mm." Su Yun said: "That woman had an ectopic pregnancy, emergency surgery. She was said to have, while hospitalized, taken the time when Da Liu went to buy food to meet Xiao Bai Lian for a date; everyone in the ward except Da Liu knew what had happened."

This is too shameless, Zheng Renye was also speechless.

"After she was discharged, that woman left without a word and eloped with someone." Su Yun said: "After she left, Da Liu's mental state became abnormal. He drinks alcohol every day, and now talks nonsense all day."

This is exactly the legendary mess, Zheng Renye also felt helpless.

People who never recover from intense stimulation, especially emotional stimulation, are not uncommon.

Intense emotional stimulation, jumping from buildings or slashing wrists is also not uncommon.

From ancient times to now it's been like this, the so-called "asking the world what love is"…… but Zheng Ren zhen truly feels it's not worth it for Da Liu.

"What do you need from me?"

"Boss has called in the family, wants to take Da Liu back home to be hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital for treatment. He hasn't even left yet and already relapsed?" Su Yun sighed, "In the Emergency Department, go take a look."

Zheng Ren thought of Da Liu's sturdy build, and felt somewhat regretful.

He's skilled at work, earns money outside, returns home to build a house, have a litter of kids, living a blissful life—how good could it be?

Too bad, his wife got lost in the flashy world of Di Du as soon as she left her hometown.

Given Da Liu's personality, even if he didn't become mentally ill, his wife would likely be dumped by Xiao Bai Lian in a few months or a year, and would probably come back to find him.

Then they'd reconcile, cheat again, reconcile again, endlessly.

Personality determines fate, and that's also unavoidable.

Perhaps Da Liu is destined for tragedy in this life.

Zheng Ren remained silent, following behind Su Yun, listening to Su Yun's constant complaining. Feeling pity for his misfortune, hatred for his lack of effort.

Arriving at the Emergency Department, in the hallway he saw Ai Pang Lao Ban's head wobbling like a big-headed child's.

"What's going on?" Su Yun walked up to Ai Pang Lao Ban, without pleasantries, directly asked.

"Yun Ge'er, I've done everything humanly possible for this." Ai Pang Lao Ban sighed and said.

"I know, don't rush to shirk responsibility, tell me how Da Liu is." Su Yun said.

"Let's talk outside." Ai Pang Lao Ban said.

"And Da Liu?"

"The family took him to the Psychiatry Department for a consultation."

The 912 Psychiatry Department has only a few doctors, usually doing outpatient clinics. For related illnesses requiring consultation, if not urgent, they're sent to the outpatient clinic to be seen.

After all, it's not a hospital specializing in psychiatry.

Zhou Litao was busy in the Emergency Resuscitation Room; Zheng Ren glanced, saw it wasn't a serious illness, and followed him out the back door.

Ai Pang Lao Ban respectfully offered cigarettes to Zheng Ren and Su Yun, lit them, then anxiously said: "Yun Ge'er, I estimate Da Liu already knew about his wife's affair."

"He knew?" Su Yun frowned.

"Mm, during that time after his wife's surgery, Da Liu started drinking to drown his sorrows. He was fine in the hospital, chatting and laughing with his wife. But after returning home he became a different person, didn't work, just drank." Ai Pang Lao Ban repeatedly said about the drinking.

"Then what?"

"His wife was discharged a few days after surgery, then disappeared without a trace." Ai Pang Lao Ban said: "Afterwards Da Liu became decadent, awake he drank, after drinking he slept; I really feared he'd drink himself to vomiting blood."

"It wasn't just a few days ago; I noticed when he spoke his facial muscles twitched, his hands and feet trembled, so I brought him to the hospital to check."

"He got a CT scan, nothing serious, they said it was alcohol poisoning, told him to go to a psychiatric hospital for forced detox. I really couldn't do anything else; Da Liu is surely ruined, so I called his family."

Zheng Ren sighed, a perfectly fine person just wasted away like that.

"Later went to the psychiatric hospital, diagnosis was something like alcohol-induced encephalopathy, epileptic psychomotor seizure, prescribed carbamazepine tablets. That medicine works well, after taking it he improved."

"Carbamazepine."

"Yes, yes, it's carbamazepine." Ai Pang Lao Ban said: "His family doesn't care about him either, only notified after a week before coming to Di Du to pick him up. Their attitude was also terrible, spouting nonsense. Yun Ge'er, Zheng Lao Ban, you say we're all one family, how can the gap be so big?"

"Spoiled." Su Yun said contemptuously, "Da Liu is probably the eldest in the family."

"Mm."

"Definitely spoiled, with a nasty temper all over." Su Yun said.

Such family squabbles, Zheng Ren didn't want to get involved. It's nothing more than parental favoritism or the like; each side has its own reasoning, with no logic at all.

Humans, they're just this kind of strange creature.

Just like Da Liu, that day they were afraid he'd go berserk and hurt someone with a knife. Unexpectedly, he understood in his heart, didn't say it out loud, but was still thinking of making amends.

In the end he could only drown his sorrows in alcohol, drinking himself to ruin.

Where under heaven lacks fragrant grass? Why put oneself through this?

"After the medicine took effect, I controlled not giving him alcohol, waiting for his family to come pick him up." Ai Pang Lao Ban said, saying this and that, he began to feel wronged: "Yun Ge'er, my little business, managing to get this far is already not easy."

He really isn't easy; ordinary bosses wouldn't care so much about their subordinates.

"How is it now?" Zheng Ren asked.

"He slipped away again yesterday, stole meat from the shop, and went to trade it for drink." The fat boss let out a long sigh and said, "Now people have come to my house, saying I made Da Liu sick and demanding compensation."

Zheng Ren shook his head.

"What do you think?" Su Yun asked.

"Give Da Liu a few thousand dollars, I have no objection. But that money will definitely not end up with Da Liu!" The fat boss said angrily.
