Chapter 2639: with translation of title

2540.2444 Do you still know what nervousness is? (Alliance Leader quietly watching flowers bloom and fall, extra chapter 2)

Lin Ge has been feeling proud lately.

In the science and education sector, steps have been taken one after another, each step unprecedented since the hospital's founding in 912.

Cooperating and exchanging with world-class top hospitals, with various publicity keeping up, Director Yan each time when holding the director's office meeting would emphasize praising Lin Ge's work as effective.

As time passed, the date of the Nobel Prize announcement drew nearer, and Lin Ge grew increasingly tense.

Whether I can make further progress atop a hundred-foot pole depends on Young Boss Zheng.

The more I anticipate, the less I dare to ask Boss Zheng; on one hand I believe Boss Zheng is omnipotent, on the other hand I rationally judge that the chance of winning the Nobel Prize is not great.

Recently Lin Ge felt torn and worried. Every day he refreshed the official Nobel Prize website; although he knew the results wouldn't come out that early, he still couldn't help refreshing it ten or eight times a day.

Moreover, as time passed, the number of times Lin Ge refreshed the website while holding his phone increased more and more.

That boring webpage was almost worn out from Lin Ge's refreshing, yet he still refreshed it tirelessly every day.

It was almost time to get off work; Lin Ge sat in the office, holding his phone and refreshing the webpage.

The Science and Education Department is great; no need to worry about who knows when a clinical landmine will explode, no need to worry about patient complaints, and if I can't leave work, I have to smooth things over.

No need to worry about anything; clock in and out on time, work is happy and pleasant, pressure is much less, and Lin Ge feels he has become younger.

Just then, he received a phone call.

Seeing the three characters 'Boss Zheng' appear on the phone screen, Lin Ge felt excited yet a little afraid. Although he knew whether or not he could win the Nobel Prize, Boss Zheng certainly wouldn't report to him, but he was still anxious and anticipating.

"Boss Zheng."

"Uh... I know. Okay, please wait a moment on your end, I'll come over right away."

After saying just a couple of sentences, Lin Ge hung up the phone.

His head throbbed with pain, and golden stars filled his vision.

What is Boss Zheng up to? For a patient with acute gastroenteritis, he judged it as child abuse by the family.

Child abuse— in the United States, even spanking a child counts as that. But domestically, it's really unclear how it's determined. Besides, what does it have to do with medicine? Isn't this like a dog meddling in mouse affairs?

Forget it, whatever Boss Zheng says goes. Lin Ge sighed; he also holds the deputy director position in the Medical Department, specifically responsible for Boss Zheng's live-streaming affairs. What needs to be managed must be managed; relying on the boss to get by, he shouldn't be too comfortable.

Hurrying to the Emergency Department, Lin Ge inquired about the situation upon meeting; the more he heard, the more astonished he became, and the more he heard, the more bewildered he felt.

Boss Zheng's judgment—

No, this matter must not be left for Boss Zheng to resolve alone. Lin Ge made up his mind in an instant; even if there's a landmine, he will take responsibility himself.

Even if I myself run into trouble, as long as Boss Zheng is fine, I will have my chance to shine. Perhaps because he made a misjudgment, I suffered some blame, and later I will fare better.

Just looking at the little staffer who always follows Boss Zheng, one knows that with predecessors showing the way, Lin Ge hardly needs to think further.

"Boss Zheng, I know about this matter; shall I talk to the patient's family?" Lin Ge said in a consultative tone.

Zheng Ren hesitated slightly, then nodded.

The gains and losses therein are not hard to calculate; Lin Ge is doing this to protect himself, so as not to cause a major oversight due to a misjudgment.

Seeing Boss Zheng nod, Lin Ge felt relieved; he had no unhappiness about taking the blame, and he cheerfully took on this matter himself.

Zhou Litao was somewhat taken aback; is this still the Director Lin I know? When did he become so responsible?

"Director Lin, then I'll trouble you." Zheng Ren said, "The child went for a gastroscopy; it should already be done by now."

"Okay, once it's done we'll admit him to the hospital." Lin Ge said, "I'll contact the pediatrics side; after that you won't need to worry…"

"I'd like to listen in." Zheng Ren laughed and said, "To be honest, I and Su Yun agree on this judgment, but we lack concrete evidence, and I feel very uneasy."

Lin Ge thought, "Do you even know how to write the two words 'uneasy'?" In China, basically no one dares to diagnose such a thing; if misdiagnosed, one will be fiercely blamed.

Although he thought that, he showed no emotion; a smile like a spring breeze hung on his face as he said, "That's fine, but this matter belongs to our Medical Department; I'll first report to Director Ye."

Lin Ge's arrangement of holding a director position while not relinquishing his former deputy director role should be considered a stopgap measure. The hospital likely also considered that Zheng Ren's live-streaming model carries huge risk, and without anyone to back it up, it's definitely not feasible.

Therefore, under this peculiar arrangement, Lin Ge couldn't just pat his chest and say he'd take responsibility as before.

He contacted Ye Qingqiu to report work. Sure enough, this hot potato is something no one wants to touch, let alone the slippery Director Ye Qingqiu.

Even after obtaining authorization, Ye Qingqiu's words were vague, but Lin Ge understood the meaning between the lines.

On Boss Zheng's side, you've reaped the biggest fruit, and if anything goes wrong, you'll certainly be at the forefront.

But Director Ye finally told Lin Ge that if the situation becomes uncontrollable, he must report immediately, and he will come over from home.

After these procedural matters were finally settled, Lin Ge felt moved; even someone like Director Ye would ultimately have to back up Boss Zheng.

Given Boss Zheng's standing in the jianghu, saying he's at the height of his power is not an exaggeration.

Is Boss Zheng just messing around? Lin Ge doesn't think so. Boss Zheng has a reasoned, evidence-based analysis and even gave examples; the forward and backward inferences indeed show a considerable possibility.

This is also a burst of enthusiasm, not yet worn down by heavy clinical work.

"Done." Zhou Litao returned a call to report: "Director Lin, the gastroscopy showed no signs of reflux gastritis on the stomach wall, and the pylorus was not incompletely closed."

"Fine, admit the patient to the hospital, keep a gentle attitude as usual." Lin Ge instructed.

Zhou Litao nodded; to catch someone off guard is the only way to subdue them. Once there's mental preparation, this sort of messy affair will likely cause trouble down to the bone.

"Boss Zheng, then I won't trouble you." Lin Ge said, "The Security Office has surveillance; if you want to watch, shall we look at the footage?"

Zheng Ren stared for a moment; shouldn't more people be better for this kind of thing? A thunderous strike, finally getting the patient's family to admit or deny.

If the patient's family loses emotional control, hurting someone further would be bad.

Seeing Zheng Ren's expression, Lin Ge gave a wry smile and said, "Dealing with patient families, I've had relatively more experience, which counts as rich clinical experience. I think it's best to resolve this at the hospital level, clarify things first and then report upward. Otherwise…"

Zheng Ren knew the matter was extremely troublesome, but thinking of the child still under 24 months old, he solemnly nodded.
