Chapter 42: 0041 Color Allergy

Damn it, what kind of quack doctor is this!

If he dares to say that to me, I'll definitely kill him.

Is this the standard of City First Hospital?

The murmurs of the onlookers grew louder and louder, and the angry emotion was about to spiral out of control.

Xiao Zhao kept giving Zheng Ren looks, signaling that he was in danger, but Zheng Ren didn't see it at all.

"What are you shouting for? You're doctors? If you're capable, go treat patients!" Xiao Zhao finally stepped forward, righteously defending Zheng Ren.

"Is this outfit something you just bought today, or did you just change into it today?" Zheng Ren ignored the angry onlookers and asked.

"..." The girl was dazed.

What does looking after her boyfriend's illness have to do with clothing?

But she was well-behaved and still nodded, saying, "Today is our one-year anniversary of meeting. I bought the clothes a few days ago, but I definitely changed into them today. We had planned to have lunch together at noon, but..."

As she spoke, she started crying again.

"Don't cry." Zheng Ren raised his eyebrows, his voice a bit louder, "Your boyfriend has a rare color allergy; this outfit caused his allergic reaction."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Not only the girl, but the surrounding onlookers were also dumbfounded.

Color allergy? What the hell is that?

"Simply put, if your boyfriend just glances at this rare red color once or twice, it's fine. But if he keeps staring, his body will have a stress reaction, then trigger an allergy." Zheng Ren's confident tone put people at ease.

With a clear diagnosis, the treatment is simple.

"Take off the sweatshirt, and be careful from now on. In a moment the patient can go to the observation room, and remember to fast from food and water for 12 hours to avoid any stimulating food triggering another allergy." Zheng Ren instructed.

The little girl kept nodding and without hesitation took off the sweatshirt.

She wanted to fold and store the clothing, but she only had a small handbag, with nowhere to put it.

Gritting her teeth, the girl directly threw the newly bought sweatshirt into the trash can.

"Don't!" Zheng Ren understood the mentality of poor families and immediately stopped her: "I'll help you keep it safe, take away the valuables, and you can come pick them up from me when you're discharged. New clothes—throwing them away would be a shame."

Xiao Zhao and the onlookers were already dumbfounded—is this really the diagnosis?

A dying patient, just cured like that?

"Chief Zheng, the patient's heart rate has returned to normal, blood oxygen saturation at 100%; can we send him to the observation room?" A nurse came out to ask.

"Yeah, go ahead, it's fine."

As the patient was wheeled out and sent to the observation room, the crowd buzzed again, descending into chaos.

"He really got better? Was the patient's condition that serious?"

"It was serious; just now when the 120 Emergency Rescue Service vehicle brought him in, I personally saw his face turn purple, his hands also purple, white foam at the corners of his mouth—looking especially frightening."

"Don't talk nonsense; if it weren't serious, could his girlfriend cry like that?"

Xiao Zhao quickly recovered, holding his phone, seeing dozens of comments scrolling in the livestream, the heat obviously high.

"Brothers, for the divine doctor saving lives, send a tip!" Even in the midst of his busyness, he hadn't forgotten to ask for tips.

Because the whole process was unexpected, the people in the livestream were all enthusiastic; whether it was free fish balls or airplanes and rockets, the chaotic tips started pouring in.

【Host, what was that operation just now? Say it again, I didn't see it.】

【Please give the host's coordinates; if I get sick in the future I'll go see you, you're literally a divine doctor.】

【Already tipped a rocket; please host, send positive energy to the divine doctor!】

Xiao Zhao watched the livestream comments, grinning ear to ear. How long has it been this lively? The tips are coming in like crazy—is it because the Emergency Department is fun? No! It must be Brother Zheng's medical skill; if the patient died, probably few would tip a livestream of a dead person.

Zheng Ren parted the onlookers, pushing the patient's stretcher to the observation room.

On the way he brushed past Director Pan, who never expected Zheng Ren to come back, head held high, chest out, hurrying past, not knowing what the old man was busy with again.

"Two hours of ECG monitoring, and once completely stable you can go." Zheng Ren arranged, "Pay attention to what I told you."

"Mm-hmm." The girl kept nodding.

"Doctor, thank you." The boy could barely speak; he wanted to grab Zheng Ren's hand to show gratitude, but Zheng Ren had already reached the door, so he could only barely say thank you.

"It's fine." Zheng Ren gave a curt reply, stepped out of the observation room door, saw Xiao Zhao holding his phone, talking to someone who had just been watching the excitement, smiled, walked to Director Pan's office door, and knocked and entered.

Director Pan saw Zheng Ren enter, a little surprised, "How did you come back so quickly? Hurry back and get proper rest."

"I'm still young, I can handle it." Zheng Ren chuckled, "I haven't checked on the post-op patient; I feel uneasy."

Director Pan understood Zheng Ren's mindset; this is a feeling every surgeon has—if they don't do a round on the post-op patient, they really can't sleep.

If there's a critical patient, just expect insomnia.

"Let's go, let's check the wards." Director Pan said.

Zheng Ren had been waiting for those words.

His current position is Inpatient Chief of the Emergency Department; without Director Pan's backing, if he himself went to General Surgery Department 1 to do rounds, he'd be drowned in spit.

But relying on Director Pan's authority, if he goes together with him, whoever dares to gossip will surely be sprayed to death by Director Pan—no doubt about it.

Both of them are straightforward; leaving the Emergency Department, they rushed straight to General Surgery Department 1.

Along the way, Director Pan and Zheng Ren discussed the progress of doctors and nurses.

Because of Zheng Ren's brilliant Shou Bing bonus today, the hospital's support has also increased.

However, the nurse staffing is complete, but it will still take about a week. As for doctors, the hospital suggests focusing on training resident physicians.

The hospital lacks doctors, common knowledge; Director Pan can't make things too difficult for the hospital either.

At least there's a clue now; Zheng Ren expressed relief.

Soon, the two arrived at General Surgery Department 1. Patients had extra beds added all the way to the end of the corridor, so many that you couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Even Zheng Ren felt somewhat emotional; these were all his own post-operative patients?

Director Pan domineeringly called out all the doctors of the General Surgery Department 1 and began rounds.

Director Liu has been hospitalized for treatment of a myocardial infarction, and the General Surgery Department 1 is leaderless. As for the matter of the culprit who sent Director Liu to the CCU coming to do rounds, they wanted to voice opposition but lacked the courage.

Upon reaching a patient's bedside, the responsible doctor in charge would introduce the condition.

There were many patients; if it were as usual, Zheng Ren would surely have to think back for a long time to recall which patient this was and how he had performed the surgery then.

But I don't know if it's because of the system, Zheng Ren felt his mind exceptionally Clarity, seeing each patient, the surgical situation was vividly before his eyes, basically no need for introduction.

"The condition is stable, recovery is good."

One after another, reports of stable condition made the patients and their families feel greatly relieved; it seemed the air in the corridor, mixed with countless smells, was no longer so irritating, and everyone felt a bit happier.

Upon reaching Ward 5, before even entering, a thin, withered figure appeared before Zheng Ren.

"Plop"— the figure collapsed.
