2394.2308 Zheng Lao Ban's anger (Alliance Leader alas dear brother extra chapter 1)

"What are you crying for?" the Emergency Department doctor asked.

"I… I… am I… am I going to die?" the girl sitting in the wheelchair asked, stuttering.

"I said you're going to die?" the Emergency Department doctor still had that expression on his face, just as annoying as Su Yun.

"Do I have lymphoma?" the girl touched her neck lymph nodes, crying as she asked.

"What lymphoma? It's just the flu. If you want to take medicine, use some fever reducer, but I think it's unnecessary. Just go home and drink plenty of hot water; don't cause trouble at the hospital late at night." the Emergency Department doctor said.

With that attitude, being able to survive in the Emergency Department really requires extremely strong luck.

Zheng Ren looked at the Emergency Department doctor treating patients with a smug smile, thinking to himself. His speech was labored and his word order problematic; run into someone with a bad temper, and you really would end up fighting.

However, there's no problem with his medical examination, and his handling is flawless.

The person behind the girl, who also looked young, probably a classmate, politely asked a few more related questions, then confirmed the doctor's meaning was just to drink more hot water.

Pushing the wheelchair preparing to leave, the Emergency Department doctor said: "Hold onto the chest X‑ray."

"Uh, no need, we can't read it anyway, it's fine as is." the patient's classmate said.

"Take it back, just in case it might be useful." the Emergency Department doctor went back; it looked like he was retrieving the previous chest X‑ray, then hung it on the wheelchair's rear armrest.

"In the future, during a solar eclipse, hold up the chest X‑ray to look at it; the effect is great, better than wearing sunglasses." he said.

Zheng Ren and Su Yun exchanged glances, truly speechless.

Running into such a nonsensical doctor in the middle of the night—what a feeling? Although his diagnosis had no mistakes, for these two patients his handling was fine, yet the impression he gave was just weird.

"Zheng Lao Ban, what are you doing here?" Zheng Ren Gang was about to leave when Li Zhu ren's voice came from behind.

"Oh, I paid the hospitalization fees for the patient's family." Zheng Ren turned his head and said.

He glanced at the patient on the gurney, hesitating a moment.

The diagnosis on the System Panel is somewhat complicated.

Li Zhu ren's expression was quite vivid, but today he'd been worn down by distant relatives and had no temper left; tomorrow he has a major Shou Bing, so he doesn't have the energy to worry about whether to give red envelopes.

"Did you just go for a CT?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Hmm." Li Zhu ren held the CT film, not noticing the change in Zheng Ren's tone, and said while holding the film, "The CT shows a high‑density shadow in the basal ganglia region."

Zheng Ren saw the patient's left hand slightly lift and tremble continuously; at the same time, her left foot kept shaking. The whole person looked as if she were dancing.

But only half of her body was shaking; the right side was completely normal, making the dance look eerie.

"This doesn't look like ordinary chorea." Su Yun said beside Zheng Ren.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren said, "Li Zhu ren, check a blood sugar."

"Why check? He's already drunk the talisman water, he'll be fine soon." an old man who looked about sixty said from behind.

Zheng Ren frowned.

Hearing the words "talisman water" again, he felt a bit annoyed. Especially when the patient's family said it with righteous confidence, as if coming to the hospital to see a doctor were some unforgivable sin.

"Boss, what disease are you considering?" Su Yun wasn't polite either, taking the head CT from Li Zhu ren's hand, pulling out the film, and examining it against the light.

Zheng Ren glanced at it and coldly said, "First check a blood sugar."

"Who are you?" the old man, seeing the two youngsters standing here chatting, instantly became displeased and glared at Zheng Ren and Su Yun.

Su Yun shrugged, put the film back. Although he was willing to talk back, he knew in his heart who could be talked back to and who could not.

This kind of elderly person belongs to the forbidden zone.

Getting worked up saying that, his cerebrovascular disease flared up and he collapsed straight to the ground—this is a major hassle. With this kind of person, if you can avoid speaking, you avoid speaking; that is Su Yun's principle of conduct.

"Li Zhu ren, here's the film." Su Yun said with a smile.

Li Zhu ren also felt a bit awkward; he wanted to mediate from both sides, but seeing Zheng Lao Ban paying no attention and making way, he could only offer an apologetic smile to Zheng Ren.

"Boss, feeling stifled?" Su Yun asked Zheng Ren with a smile.

"The patient has a problem." Zheng Ren didn't answer Su Yun's question but instead spoke about the condition.

"Anyone with eyes can see she has a problem; asking if you're feeling stifled or not." Su Yun laughed.

"Stifled. You say how they got used to drinking talisman water—it's really strange." Zheng Ren sighed, didn't leave, but sat in the waiting‑room chair.

These chairs aren't the hard plastic kind; they have a thin foam cushion, making them somewhat comfortable to sit on.

"You keep insisting on checking blood sugar; are you considering diabetic striatopathy?" Su Yun asked.

"Hmm, extrapyramidal system changes; the cranial CT shows bilateral caudate nuclei and putamen with slightly increased symmetric density, suggesting possibly non‑ketotic hyperglycemia‑induced chorea."

"Also, consider whether there's an underlying liver disease, thinking of acquired hepatic degeneration; carbon monoxide poisoning might not be major, but could also present this way; or it could be other heavy‑metal poisonings, etc."

"There's a lot to consider."

"Checking blood sugar is the most convenient." Zheng Ren said, "However, taking into account the previous situation, I think what Wang Daoshi said is most likely. The patient's blood sugar control is poor; after taking the hormone‑laden veterinary talisman water, his blood sugar rose further, worsening the condition and leading to non‑ketotic hyperglycemia‑induced chorea."

"You say that, the logic and theory are quite thorough." Su Yun nodded.

Su Yun's tone was very calm, a rare sight. He worried that his own boss would be talked back to, leaving him feeling uneasy.

In a few months the Nobel Prize evaluation will begin; if he were to collapse here now, delaying the Nobel Prize, what's the point?

But looking at his own boss's demeanor, Su Yun burst out laughing; that guy simply wouldn't care what expression the patient's family had. His anger wasn't about being talked back to, but about that talisman paper written with strong veterinary medicine.

Really, they'll drink anything down; Su Yun took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Shall we go back?" Su Yun asked, "Why sit here waiting foolishly?"

"It's fine; Li Zhu ren should check the blood sugar. If even this most basic thing isn't done, all those years of clinical work would be for nothing."

Zheng Ren laughed.

But Su Yun could feel a hint of anger in his boss's smile.

Scammers who cheat elderly men and women out of money in the community are hateful, but right now people who worsen the condition and even lose control are even more hateful.

Just then, Li Zhu ren hurried out, running over to Zheng Ren and Su Yun.

"Zheng Lao Ban, Professor Su, fingertip blood glucose 27.2 mmol/l."
