2612.2513 The Sweet and Sour Taste of First Love (Alliance Leader Yanshang Cangyue Bonus Chapter 5)

The diagnosis of 【Skin Hair Migration】 appeared before Zheng Ren's eyes; he tried to recall, and then he remembered what this very rare diagnosis meant.

"Manager Zhou." Zheng Ren greeted.

"Zheng Lao Ban, please wait a moment, I'll finish looking at this patient's." Zhou Litao held up a film, placed it on the viewer, turned his head and smiled at Zheng Ren, saying.

A face full of freckles danced about, and Zheng Ren didn't think Zhou Litao, substituting for the shift and returning to the Inpatient Chief's post, had anything to be unhappy about.

The film was a left foot anteroposterior oblique view; the two films silently told Zhou Litao on the viewer whether the patient's foot bone quality had a problem.

X‑rays can only show big problems; small details aren't clear. The advantage is low cost and quick examination. You can't do a three‑dimensional CT for every patient, or else Zhou Litao would have been complained about early on.

Zheng Ren glanced, saw no problem with the bone quality, didn't go inside, but instead entered the treatment room of Jizhen Wai Ke, standing quietly by the wall at the doorway.

"Nothing much, really haven't been injured lately? Do you walk a lot?"

"I didn't notice any injury, and I don't walk much either." The patient scratched his head and said: "I originally planned to lose weight, walking ten thousand steps every night, but that's just laziness. I stuck with it for two days, then immediately couldn't keep it up—none of the empty talk I said was sincere."

"Looking at the film, there's nothing wrong." Zhou Litao said, "Now…"

Su Yun saw Zheng Ren walk into the room, followed him in, and asked quietly: "Boss, anything up?"

Zheng Ren was about to remind Zhou Litao, but Su Yun asked him a question, and he immediately swallowed everything he wanted to say.

Really troubling—I couldn't just stand by and watch Manager Zhou make a misdiagnosis. But Su Yun this guy is following me; with a completely normal left foot anteroposterior oblique view, what was I even preparing to say?

No matter what I said, it wouldn't make sense—Su Yun that guy is really annoying, and Zheng Ren gave him a look of disdain.

"Initially considering it's caused by aseptic inflammation—sit on the exam table and take off your shoes so I can have a look." Zhou Litao said.

Hearing that, Zheng Ren felt instantly reassured.

Manager Zhou is still reliable, and he's not busy right now—he hasn't forgotten to do the physical exam, or perhaps he hadn't done it earlier, and will talk after looking at the film.

But the patient was a bit hesitant, saying: "Doctor, no need to look—no broken skin, no fracture, maybe just a muscle issue. Why don't you just prescribe some medicine for me to take home?"

"What's there to be afraid of, you old man? Besides, you're just taking off your shoes, not your underwear—what's there to be embarrassed about?" Zhou Litao said bluntly: "Hurry up—we never know when the Emergency Department will get more patients, and then there won't be time to look."

The patient thought Zhou Litao made sense, and cautiously glanced at Zheng Ren, Su Yun, and Lin Yuan peering in from the doorway, then asked quietly: "Doctor Zhou, are you doing a teaching round today?"

"What teaching? That's Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er." Zhou Litao said, noticing Zheng Ren's brow slightly furrow, guessing he didn't want to chat much with the patient, so he cut himself off and said: "Hurry up—finish the exam, I'll prescribe medicine, and you can leave quickly."

"Oh, oh." The patient also didn't understand, still thinking Zhou Litao was a teaching instructor, and that the exam was to give a lecture to students.

Although it didn't involve private parts, he also felt it was wasting time. Zhou Litao wanted to say something but held back; the patient seemed to recall something, then instantly forgot it.

"Doctor Zhou, I'm not unwilling to take off my shoes—I just have sweaty feet, please don't mind." The patient said embarrassedly.

"No problem."

Zhou Litao was already on the verge of losing his temper; the patient's words were more than his own, always making him a bit unhappy.

Zheng Lao Ban came for a stroll; on this side, after finishing the exam, I hurried to grab Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er for a chat—who knows when Emergency Department patients will show up.

The patient sat on the exam table and took off his shoes.

The moment he took off his shoes, everyone in the room knew why he'd been so hesitant. A sour‑smelling odor shot up, and Zhou Litao, who had moved in to take a close look, almost got knocked over by the stench.

"Holy shit, dude, this isn't just sweaty feet." Zhou Litao immediately straightened up and complained.

"Or just forget it—it's not a big deal anyway. It gets better in winter, but the smell is stronger in summer." The patient said apologetically.

"No problem, just hurry up." Zhou Litao said while grabbing a disposable thin‑film glove and putting it on.

For a regular patient, he wouldn't want to wear gloves—at most, after the exam he'd wash his hands and disinfect, and that would be it.

But this odor is too aggressive… although the smell has nothing to do with germs, he still instinctively wanted to protect himself.

The patient had no objection to Zhou Litao's action; seeing the doctor put on gloves, he actually let out a sigh of relief, took off his sock, and stuffed it under his right leg.

Doing this seemed to make the odor a little weaker.

Zheng Ren moved forward a bit, changed his angle, and could just see the patient's foot.

"Boss, do you think smelling from afar isn't careful enough? Tell me—is it sour or sweet? Or is it that sweet‑and‑sour first‑love feeling?" Su Yun asked scornfully.

"Cut the nonsense, let's check the exam." Zheng Ren's eyes narrowed.

He was also curious—this Skin Hair Migration condition isn't common. Besides, Zheng Lao Ban has been practicing medicine for less than ten years, so he hasn't had the chance to see it.

Su Yun was somewhat curious, he leaned forward a bit, but then turned around and stood behind Zheng Ren. He didn't comment on the patient's foot odor, but his expression and actions made this obvious.

"Looking fine, does it hurt here?" Zhou Litao saw the patient's sole had no redness or swelling, no damage, and placed his finger on the sole, pressing lightly.

"Ah~~~" the patient's foot twitched, pulling back as if shocked by electricity.

It's hard to imagine a man could shout that loudly.

"It hurts that badly?" Zheng Ren muttered to himself.

"Strange, I don't see any problem—how could it hurt this badly?" Su Yun frowned behind Zheng Ren.

"Could it be tendinitis?" Lin Yuan stood farther away; since the poisoning incident, she's developed a psychological aversion to any strange smell, and can't even soak in hot springs.

"Not likely." Zheng Ren said.

Zhou Litao looked at the patient's condition, feeling uncertain, and glanced at Zheng Ren.

"You, put your shoes on and stand on the floor." Zheng Ren told the patient.

The patient looked at Zhou Litao, full of apprehension, afraid the doctor would press hard on him again. That sharp pain had made him feel like dying, and he'd already formed the urge to flee.
