2276, what are you sleeping for? Come to the emergency department and get fired up.

The note says: "Translation: '2276 What sleep, come to the emergency department and get fired up.' but we need natural English."

Thus: "2276 What are you sleeping for? Come to the emergency department and get fired up."

What are you sleeping for? Come to the emergency department and get fired up.

Zheng Ren sat calmly in the chair, thinking of Xiao Yi Ren, with a hint of regret.

Translation: "Zheng Ren sat steadily in the chair, thinking of Xiao Yi Ren, feeling a slight regret."

It would be great if I could come with Yi Ren, bringing Heizi along, and just wander wherever we like—no need to go to a hot spring.

Translation: "It would be nice if I came with Yi Ren, bringing Heizi along; we could just wander anywhere, no need to go soak in hot springs."

Although Zheng Ren knows everyone on the medical team and they're all friends, the crowd is too big for him to get any alone time with Xie Yiren.

Translation: "Although Zheng Ren is familiar with everyone in the medical team, they're all friends, but there are too many people, so he never gets a chance to be alone with Xie Yiren."

Before heading out, Heizi was taken to Lin Jiao Jiao's house for foster care, yet Zheng Ren still felt concerned.

Translation: "Before leaving, Heizi was sent to Lin JiaoJiao's place for foster care, yet Zheng Ren still felt concerned."

Even though he knows Lin Jiao Jiao won't mistreat Heizi, it's natural to worry about one's own dog.

Translation: "Even though I know Lin JiaoJiao would never mistreat Heizi, it's normal to worry about one's own dog."

While he was daydreaming, the endocrinology inpatient chief came for a consult, and the patient with ketoacidosis also had a series of tests.

Translation: "Lost in thought, the inpatient chief from the endocrinology department came for a consultation, and the patient with ketoacidosis also underwent a series of tests."

Zheng Ren knew that once this case was admitted, he could return.

Translation: "Zheng Ren knew that once this side was admitted to the hospital, he could go back."

Everyone over there was busy, yet he was idling here—a strange feeling. He's always been in charge; this should be the first time he's just observing. Zheng Ren gave a faint smile and silently watched the doctors, nurses, and patients.

Translation: "Everyone over there was busy, while I was idling here—this feeling was quite strange. I've always been the one in charge; this should be the first time I'm just an observer. Zheng Ren smiled faintly and silently watched the doctors, nurses, and patients."

Looking at the world from an observer's angle, nothing seems to fit the picture; it feels somewhat strange.

Translation: "From an observer's perspective, the world seems off, somewhat weird."

He thought, and the emergency surgery doctor took the tall beautiful woman to the treatment room, told her to wait inside, then returned to his duties.

Translation: "Thinking about it, the emergency surgery doctor brought the tall beauty to the treatment room, had her wait inside, then went back to work."

A few minutes later, a female doctor hurried to the emergency department and went into the treatment room.

Translation: "A few minutes later, a female doctor rushed to the emergency department and entered the treatment room."

This is a gynecological problem, Zheng Ren surmised.

Translation: "This is an obstetrics issue, Zheng Ren guessed."

But it's strange—he couldn't tell what the illness was. After spending a lot of time with Big Pig's Trotter, Zheng Ren stopped questioning him and began wondering about non‑medical reasons people come to the hospital.

Translation: "But it's a bit strange—I didn't see what illness it was. After spending a long time with the big pig trotter, Zheng Ren stopped questioning it and began to think about non‑medical reasons for coming to the hospital."

He waited quietly; after a moment, the female doctor came out looking strange.

Translation: "Waiting quietly, after a while the female doctor came out with a strange expression."

Then he began calling people to come.

Translation: "So, he started making phone calls to summon people."

Zheng Ren suddenly grew curious.

Translation: "Zheng Ren suddenly became curious."

He often calls people from the emergency department, usually for critical cases, summoning various departments for consultation.

Translation: "Calling people from the emergency department is something I often do; it's usually for critical cases, summoning various departments for consultation."

He'll call any possibly relevant department, preferring to over‑call than miss something—even late at night: "What are you sleeping for? Come to the ER and get fired up, then we'll talk."

Translation: "For any possibly related department, better to call them by mistake than miss them. In the middle of the night, what are you sleeping for? Come to the emergency department and get fired up, then talk."

If challenged, he'd retort, "If you're so skilled, you come to the ER," but Zheng Ren usually just laughs and avoids confronting them face‑to‑face, so as not to embarrass them.

Translation: "If someone questions it, one sentence—'If you're so capable, you come to the emergency department'—shuts them down. But Zheng Ren usually just laughs and doesn't retort to someone's face, leaving them no way to save face."

Sure enough, just as Zheng Ren had guessed, doctors came rushing in one after another.

Translation: "Sure enough, just as Zheng Ren had guessed, doctors came rushing in one after another."

Zheng Ren grew even more curious. The tall beautiful woman's system panel showed no issues, yet the emergency doctors had called in so many departments for a consultation—what was going on?

Translation: "Zheng Ren grew even more curious; the tall beauty who just looked at the system panel seemed fine. Why are the emergency department doctors summoning so many departments for a consultation?"

Could he have misread it? Zheng Ren replayed the memory of hearing those high‑heel footsteps.

Translation: "Could I have misseen? Zheng Ren replayed in his mind the memory of the sound of high heels he had just heard."

Nothing was wrong; the system panel glowed faintly red, indicating a sub‑healthy condition.

Translation: "Nothing wrong; the system panel glowed faintly red, indicating sub‑optimal health."

At least her condition looked far better than those of the in‑patients; several of them had diagnoses shown on their panels, the worst being bilateral lower‑limb great saphenous vein varicosities.

Translation: "At least her condition looked much better than those inpatient chiefs; several of their system panels showed diagnoses. The worst case already had bilateral lower‑limb great saphenous vein varicosity."

What on earth is going on?

Translation: "What on earth is going on?"

Zheng Ren gazed curiously at the treatment room but stayed put. Being unfamiliar with the scene, barging in and announcing himself as Boss Zheng of 912 would be pointless.

Translation: "Zheng Ren stared curiously at the treatment room, but he didn't move. Being unfamiliar with the place, would he just barge in and tell the doctors here that he's Zheng Lao Ban of 912?"

That's nonsense.

Translation: "That's nonsense."

Just watch honestly.

Translation: "Just honestly watch."

Thinking this, a doctor marched down the corridor, fuming, and shouted: "Calling, calling, a deadly nonstop CALL without all this fuss. You're handling emergency rescues—why does the emergency department keep dragging us in to look at everything?!"

Thinking this through, a doctor strode angrily down the hallway, cursing as he went: "Calling, calling, a deadly nonstop CALL without all this fuss. You're handling emergency rescues—why does the emergency department keep dragging us in to look at everything?!"

Seeing him in an isolation gown with a white coat thrown over it, it was clear he'd been pulled straight from the operating table for an emergency consult.

Translation: "Seeing him wearing an isolation gown with a white coat thrown over it, this was taken straight from the operating table for an emergency consultation."

He definitely wasn't the lead surgeon; he was probably doing night‑shift emergency surgery with the director present, and Zheng Ren reasoned out the likely scenario.

Translation: "He certainly isn't the lead surgeon; probably he's doing emergency surgery at night, with the director present. Zheng Ren guessed the situation based on logic."

"Director Zhai, don't lose your temper—come help take a look," said the emergency surgery doctor with a cheerful smile.

Translation: "'Director Zhai, don't lose your temper—come help take a look.' The emergency surgery doctor, having nothing else to do, said with a chuckle."

"The patient is being resuscitated up there!" Director Zhai complained, "And you're just adding to the chaos down here."

Translation: "'They're still resuscitating on the table!' Director Zhai complained, 'You're just adding chaos here.'"

"What's going on?" asked the emergency surgery doctor curiously.

Translation: "'What's going on?' the emergency surgery doctor asked curiously."

"Ah." Director Zhai sighed.

Translation: "'Alas.' Director Zhai sighed."

Although it was past midnight, there were still a few patients and their families outside. Talking about emergency surgery was never pleasant.

Translation: "Although it was past midnight, there were still a few patients and their families outside. Talking about emergency surgery just wasn't appropriate."

He wore a grim face and walked in.

Translation: "He walked in with a grim face."

"Boss Zheng, the patient's condition is basically stable; he needs to be admitted to the inpatient ward under endocrinology," Lin Yuan reported as he approached.

Translation: "'Zheng Lao Ban, the patient's condition is basically stable; he needs to be admitted to the hospital under the endocrinology doctor.' Lin Yuan came over to report."

"Hmm." Zheng Ren acknowledged, but stayed still, his eyes locked on the emergency department's examination room.

Translation: "'Mm.' Zheng Ren acknowledged, but remained still, his eyes fixed on the emergency department's examination room."

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

Translation: "'What's up?' Lin Yuan asked curiously."

"I don't know—I saw a female patient walk in on her own earlier. Then doctors from many departments were summoned for a consultation, but there's still no result," Zheng Ren whispered.

Translation: "'I don't know—I saw a female patient walk in on her own earlier. Then a bunch of doctors from various departments were summoned for a consultation, but there's still no result.' Zheng Ren said softly."

Lin Yuan also grew curious; she sat beside Zheng Ren to watch the spectacle.

Translation: "Lin Yuan also became interested; she sat beside Zheng Ren to watch the spectacle."

"Boss Zheng, do you need to go take a look?" Lin Yuan asked.

Translation: "'Zheng Lao Ban, do you need to take a look?' Lin Yuan asked."

"Probably not…," Zheng Ren mused, looking at the female patient's system panel, still unable to figure out what the doctors were up to.

Translation: "'Probably not…' Zheng Ren mused over the female patient's system panel, still unable to figure out what the doctors here were making a fuss about."

"No illness, yet they're dragging in countless doctors for a consultation—is this a joke, or does this hospital have some strange tradition?"

Translation: "No illness, yet they're calling in countless doctors for a consultation—is this a joke? Or does this hospital have some strange tradition?"

Zheng Ren couldn't be sure whether, if there were a problem, he could solve it; he preferred to look first and not rush back.

Translation: "Zheng Ren couldn't even be sure whether, if there were a problem, he could solve it; he'd rather just look first and not rush back."

Everyone who was supposed to come has arrived.

Translation: "Anyway, everyone who was supposed to come has come."

"It has nothing to do with our interventional department," said the last‑arriving inpatient chief surnamed Zhai, who then quickly left.

Translation: "'It has nothing to do with our intervention department,' said the inpatient chief surnamed Zhai who arrived last, and he quickly walked out."

"Don't blame you, Director Zhai," said the emergency surgery doctor: "You're swamped these days—anything comes up, they come to you. In obstetrics and gynecology, without you, many surgeries wouldn't even be attempted."

Translation: "'Don't bother, Director Zhai.' The emergency surgery doctor said, 'Nowadays you're swamped; anything comes up, you have to look at it. Without you in obstetrics and gynecology, many surgeries wouldn't even be attempted.'"

"Nonsense, just take it out on me," said Director Zhai after all the pleasantries; his anger had eased a bit, but he clearly still had work in the operating room and hurried back.

Translation: "'Nonsense, just mess with me.' After all those nice words, Director Zhai's anger faded a bit, but he clearly still had business in the operating room and hurried back."

He rushed out, then turned back and said: "Don't keep dragging us into everything."

Translation: "He rushed out, then turned back and said, 'Don't keep dragging us into everything.'"

"The hospital said that if you question an emergency doctor's judgment, you can come out to the ER," and the emergency surgery doctor replied with Zheng Ren's familiar line, laughing as he threw it back.

Translation: "'The hospital said that if you question the emergency doctor's judgment, you can come out to the emergency department.' The emergency surgery doctor indeed retorted with the familiar line Zheng Ren knew, laughing."

Director Zhai gave him a hearty pat on the shoulder—clearly they get along well, like mischievous friends.

Translation: "Director Zhai slapped him hard on the shoulder; obviously they were on good terms, like mischievous friends."

Afterward, the two whispered quietly; Zheng Ren caught a hint that the patient likely had a foreign object inside the body.

Translation: "Afterward, the two whispered quietly; Zheng Ren caught a hint that the patient probably had a foreign object inside the body."

"What a mess— a foreign object inside the body, and they're calling in interventional radiology? This is really a joke."

Translation: "What nonsense—looking for a foreign body inside, and they actually called the intervention department to handle it? This really is a joke."

One of the more bizarre foreign objects Zheng Ren had seen in Haicheng was a tiny arterial puncture through which a piece of glass had slipped in.

Translation: "A relatively bizarre foreign body inside the body was one Zheng Ren had seen in Hai Cheng: a small hole in an artery, through which a piece of glass slipped in."

The recent patient had no external trauma, so that possibility was basically ruled out. And Big Pig's Trotter…

Translation: "The patient just now had no external trauma, so that possibility is basically ruled out. And the big pig trotter…"

As he was thinking that, Zheng Ren suddenly noticed Director Zhai's expression change.

Translation: "As he was thinking, Zheng Ren suddenly saw Director Zhai's expression change."

The lecherous look vanished from his face, his expression was overtaken by astonishment, and then it turned solemn.

It's hard to imagine that in such a short time, so many emotions could appear on one person's face. At this moment, Zheng Ren even felt as if an invisible big hand was kneading Chief Zhai's face.

Chief Zhai then fastened the buttons of the White Coat, bent his waist slightly, and walked over.

"Excuse me, are you... Zheng Lao Ban?"
