Chapter 300: 0294 The Taste of Corn Puree (2/4)

Su Yun was not in the emergency ward; reportedly she went to the ICU to look after post-operative patients.

Life seemed to have returned to normal; Zheng Ren let out a sigh. Thinking that Professor Rudolf was sleeping in the on-call room, he might not be able to sleep.

He thought about it, then went to the operating room.

As long as there was no surgery, the operating room was the quietest place in Zheng Ren's world.

He first took a shower, put on an isolation gown, greeted the head nurse, and then slept in the male on-call room.

After a sound sleep, when Zheng Ren woke up, it was already three thirty in the afternoon.

The operating room was quiet; Zheng Ren got up, greeted the head nurse again, didn't change clothes, and returned to the emergency ward in his isolation gown.

Professor was not there; Chang Yue said the professor had gone to the Shangri-La Hotel to rest properly. Moreover, the professor seemed quite angry, saying that working like this was simply inhumane.

Humane? That's not something a brick should be aware of.

Zheng Ren ignored Professor Rudolf Wagner's complaints.

After a glance at the medical record, Chang Yue had already efficiently completed all the paperwork for the few patients from last night.

Yang Lei, who had temporarily acted as the inpatient chief while Zheng Ren went to the capital, had been on duty, so Director Pan gave him a few days off to keep his wife company.

Zheng Ren watched the sunset, the afterglow spreading everywhere, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Taking out his phone, he headed toward the ICU while preparing to check on the patient injured in a high-altitude fall from last night, and at the same time sent a WeChat message to Xie Yiren.

Xie Yiren had caught up on sleep and was now at home binge-watching a show.

Zheng Ren reported to Xie Yiren that he might not need to stay at the hospital tomorrow and could take a flexible second-shift duty.

Xie Yiren seemed not to have grasped the situation yet, merely replying with a smiley, and the conversation drifted off.

After chatting a bit more, Zheng Ren arrived at the ICU entrance.

He put away his phone, changed clothes, and entered the ward.

Contrary to expectation, Su Yun was sitting at the central nurse's station, chatting and laughing with the nurse girls.

The air was filled with a strong smell of corn puree.

This was the distinctive smell of platelets; Zheng Ren found it very familiar, even feeling a sense of closeness.

Platelets are not always available.

If a patient needed platelets but they were lacking, doctors could do nothing. Therefore, upon smelling this, Zheng Ren inexplicably felt somewhat happy.

Seeing Zheng Ren enter, Su Yun lightly clapped, put down her pen and paper, stood up, and asked, "Did you go catch up on sleep?"

"Mm." Zheng Ren went to the bedside of last night's post-operative patient.

"The patient's blood pressure is now stable; after surgery there is a tendency toward DIC, today we gave four therapeutic doses of platelets and two of fibrinogen. Urine output was about 20 ml per hour post-op; after fluid replacement, the ischemia-reperfusion injury has resolved, and it has recovered to 60 ml per hour." Su Yun said.

"And now?"

"Just look at my expression, and you'll know the patient is fine." Su Yun laughed.

In her smile, there was a hint of fatigue.

"You were watching here last night?" Zheng Ren had thought Su Yun had gone home to sleep, or maybe gone out with friends to see a movie or have fun.

"Yeah, what else?" Su Yun blew a strand of black hair from her forehead.

"Just stable is fine." Zheng Ren saw in the upper right corner of his vision the system panel showing the patient's condition had changed from yesterday's vivid red to a faint red now.

Although not completely out of danger, the condition had already stabilized.

Indeed, with such a serious condition, even after surgery, expecting to turn critical to safe within less than 24 hours simply does not exist.

If the patient remains stable for a few more days, the first step is to remove the ventilator tube.

Next is to transfer out of the ICU to the orthopedics department for fracture fixation. Then he would look for an opportunity to see if it might be possible to treat the patient's adenomyosis.

This disease…… Zheng Ren doesn't have much confidence in it.

So far, adenomyosis is not incurable; removing the uterus would relieve the suffering.

But for young women, undergoing a hysterectomy is too difficult to achieve.

In short, we'll have to see how things go.

As for the system quest, that big pig trotter gave a seven-day time limit, just toying with him.

Zheng Ren shook his head and turned to leave.

Su Yun followed behind Zheng Ren, walking farther and farther under the reluctant gazes of the ICU nurse girls.

"There might be two new people reporting tomorrow." Zheng Ren said.

"Oh, then I can relax." Xie Yiren said softly behind Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren knew what he meant was the matter of Fu Guangshi's resignation; he probably knew that Director Pan had been unable to get staff, and that Fu Guangshi's interference in the middle was related.

This matter is past; there's no need to keep dwelling on it.

The two left the ICU and hurried all the way to the emergency building.

Zheng Ren did not go to the emergency ward but went to the emergency department.

The emergency observation room was full of patients; Zheng Ren glanced and saw that most were internal medicine cases. With winter arriving, flu cases came in waves.

A slight lapse could cause elderly patients to develop fever, pneumonia, cardiopulmonary failure, and a series of other condition changes.

At this time, surgery was relatively quiet.

The on-call doctor in the emergency surgery department was treating a cut on a small child in the treatment room; the child was crying and wailing, and the whole hallway could hear the hoarse shouts.

This chaotic mess is the life of the emergency department; Zheng Ren didn't go to help, made a round, saw no misdiagnosis among patients, and was about to return to the emergency ward.

Just then, several graceful figures came from the other side of the corridor.

The sky was already dark; the lighting in the emergency department corridor was somewhat dim.

Under the not-so-bright light, three girls walked over. Although it was winter, they weren't wearing much; their figures were slender, and every movement was soft and boneless, captivating the heart.

Especially against the backdrop of surrounding sick patients and their anxious relatives, the three stood out exceptionally, attracting countless gazes.

Many people even temporarily forgot their pain.

"Yo, things are going smoothly." Su Yun said in a slick, oily tone.

Zheng Ren didn't turn his head, but he could guess Su Yun's eyes must have lit up. If he weren't wearing a white coat, he probably would have whistled by now.

It looks not bad, especially the middle girl; in both appearance and figure, she's better than the other two by three tenths.

Sick? Doesn't look like it.

Zheng Ren felt a bit doubtful, so he looked at them one by one.

After looking, Zheng Ren froze. His eyes stared fixedly at the especially pretty middle girl, not blinking.

After a few seconds, Su Yun realized something was off. He took a step closer to Zheng Ren, saw his weird expression, eyes fixed on the girl, and felt amused inside.

"Hey, I say, Zheng Lao Ban, you couldn't be this clueless, could you?" Su Yun laughed.

Zheng Ren didn't speak, still silent.

"Let me tell you, while it's a man's virtue to eat what's in the bowl and eye what's in the pot, are you sure you can get it into your mouth? I advise you: first focus on winning over Yi Ren girl—she's a golden doll."

"Hey, what on earth are you thinking!" Su Yun saw Zheng Ren seemed to have lost his soul, also found it strange, and bumped him with his shoulder.

"How?" Zheng Ren only then regained his senses.

"What are you doing?" Su Yun felt it definitely wasn't that Zheng Ren was staring because the girl was pretty and couldn't look away; there must be something else.

"Jizhen Wai Ke is busy; go help with the consultations," Zheng Ren said casually.

Su Yun immediately went on guard.

Long ago, there was a female patient in the emergency clinic, hemming and hawing, not clearly stating her condition. It was also Zheng Ren who sent him to take the history, and the result was a patient whose finger had endometriosis…

Could it be that these few girls also have something Strange?

Su Yun frowned, carefully scrutinizing the three girls, especially the middle one.

"Where are the doctors of the surgery department?" The three girls walked past Zheng Ren and Su Yun. The girl on the right saw Su Yun, wore a spring-like expression, and whistled.

But because they had something to do, they didn't continue teasing Su Yun.

Su Yun spread his hands, "Life, being handsome is just this troublesome."

The three girls arrived at the entrance of Jizhen Wai Ke, saw no one inside, and the girl on the right asked.

Her voice was a bit hoarse, unknown whether natural or from smoking and drinking.

Her hoarse voice carried a hint of sensuality, adding an unusual charm out of nowhere.

"Go take a look," Zheng Ren said again.

There must be something strange, but I can't tell what. Su Yun was very curious, so he went over.

"Who is Uncomfortable?" Su Yun asked.
