Chapter 551: with translation of chapter title

All indicators are normal, the ECG shows sinus rhythm.

This… this damn it!

Director Kong felt a sigh in his heart.

"Cao Zong, we haven't seen the patient's family yet; try to collect the titanium clip fee as much as possible; if you can't collect it, just bear with it." Zheng Ren took off his Gloves and mask, walked toward Director Kong out of the Operating Room, and finally left a sentence.

It's normal for such unnamed patients to not be able to pay the rescue fees. So Zheng Ren and Su Yun, intentionally or not, mentioned the titanium clip fee to avoid future disputes with the Thoracic Department.

"Old Kong, you remember what I said, the surgery is definitely done, right?" Director Pan said, smiling smugly.

Only then did Director Kong realize the Operating Room Door was open because the skin had been sutured, and the circulating nurse had already started tidying up the Shujian.

This speed… is really fast.

"Zheng Lao Ban, are you the lead surgeon, or is Su Yun the lead surgeon?" Director Kong suddenly remembered something; although he knew it was impolite to ask, he was still curious.

"Me." Zheng Ren said frankly: "He drank alcohol, can't let him be the lead surgeon."

As it turns out, in thoracic emergency rescue, Zheng Lao Ban really can handle it, and his surgical skill seems no less than that of Su Yun, who is touted as the rising star of Cardiothoracic Surgery.

"He's truly a monster," Director Kong sighed.

"Zheng Lao Ban, I didn't mean to say the emergency would be very busy today." Director Kong, at a loss for words, thought: if he bluntly praised Zheng Ren's thoracic surgery as good, wouldn't that be a bit of a loss of face?

So he casually found something to say.

"……" Zheng Ren's expression stiffened for a moment, then he forced a smile: "Director Kong, you heard the joke in the Operating Room, right?"

"Yeah, I just heard it."

"Where did you hear it from?" Zheng Ren probed.

Director Kong was surprised; it turned out there had been slanderous remarks about him earlier!

"It's fine, Director Kong won't mind." Director Pan stepped in to smooth things over: "Old Kong, you haven't worked in the emergency department for a while, have you?"

Emergency doctors are always cautious; even when not busy, they dare not say so, for fear that if it suddenly gets busy, nurses will complain. Over time, this becomes an unspoken rule.

Director Kong smiled, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Come on, let's go wait for the patient's family." Director Pan said.

"The family hasn't arrived yet?" Zheng Ren asked.

"The patient is a mechanic; his family should be out of town, and they haven't arrived yet." Director Pan said.

"Okay." Zheng Ren said, "Director Pan, you go to the office; I'll take Director Kong to see a ward, then check the emergency observation room."

Since Director Kong wants to observe, let's just have a look.

The three changed clothes and left the Operating Room. Director Kong felt a bit awkward inside, not knowing why he had come up to change clothes.

Arriving at the emergency department, Director Pan greeted them, then returned to the office to handle subsequent troubles.

Zheng Ren found a White Coat for Director Kong to put on, and the two began to make rounds of the wards.

Just as they reached the door of the emergency observation room, a man in his thirties blocked Zheng Ren.

"Doctor Zheng, hello."

"Who are you?" Zheng Ren, suffering from severe face blindness, didn't recognize the person before him at all.

"My spouse has a metal allergy; you still remember, right?" The man also felt a bit embarrassed, but it passed in an instant.

Speaking of metal allergy, Zheng Ren immediately recalled it.

"I didn't really believe your diagnosis at first," the middle-aged man said a bit embarrassedly, "but I thought giving it a try wouldn't hurt, so I went and removed the ring."

Zheng Ren smiled.

"It's completely healed since last night, not a single symptom remains!" the middle-aged man said excitedly, "Doctor Zheng, you're truly a divine doctor!"

"Oh come on," Zheng Ren waved his hand, "don't call me a divine doctor; it's just a rare disease—once you find the cause, it's fine."

The middle-aged man shook Zheng Ren's hand up and down, saying many words of thanks.

Finally, he still felt a bit uneasy asking: "Doctor Zheng, will my spouse's condition relapse?"

This was the main reason he came, and Zheng Ren knew it.

Smiling, he looked at the patient's family member's eyes and said: "In theory, your spouse's condition is mild, meaning the allergy symptoms are mild; once the allergen is cut off, it will get better. Just pay attention more in the future; metal allergy isn't a big deal. If it were protein allergy, wheat allergy, many foods would be off-limits—that would really be a headache."

People, they just fear comparison.

Originally thinking his spouse had a strange disease, feeling somewhat discouraged, the middle-aged man felt relieved upon hearing Zheng Ren mention several even rarer allergies.

If his spouse really had those diseases, they couldn't even eat meat or grains...

Uh...

He repeatedly Jiu Gong, asked Zheng Ren for his phone number, said countless polite words, and then left.

"Zheng Lao Ban, what's going on?" Director Kong asked curiously.

From the patient's words, he could guess a bit. But with Zheng Ren right there, it's better to just ask casually rather than rack his brains.

Zheng Ren briefly explained the patient's condition and his own analysis.

Copper metal allergy from the IUD is really rare.

Director Kong doesn't specialize in this, but what is Di Du? With over ten billion people nationwide, all sorts of difficult and complex diseases flock to the capital. Even if he can't treat them, he's heard of them while eating, drinking, and bragging.

But Director Kong knows, hearing others talk is just talk.

If one actually experienced it, encountering a patient whose exams show nothing yet feels uncomfortable all over, most doctors would probably be at their wits' end.

Zheng Lao Ban's surgery is beautifully done, and he even has a set for diagnosing and treating difficult and complex diseases?!

Damn impressive!

Gradually, Director Kong became a bit worried about assigning a few Doctors to rotate in Hai Cheng.

Those Doctors definitely couldn't handle a rare disease like copper metal allergy.

"Right!" Zheng Ren suddenly said, "I forgot something."

Director Kong was still worried, and casually asked: "What's up?"

"Need to look at Zhang's lab report." Zheng Ren hurried to the emergency internal medicine consultation room, found the observation case, and began looking at the lab report.

Several lab reports lay before his eyes; looking at the dates, the HCG values from before observation were elevated, but the HCG tested this morning had dropped back to normal, leaving Director Kong somewhat puzzled.

"Zheng Lao Ban, does the emergency department also handle miscarriages?" Director Kong asked helplessly; if that's really the case, shouldn't we contact the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department?

In an instant, his head swelled.

"No." Zheng Ren chuckled, put the observation case back, then left the emergency internal medicine consultation room and said: "A student, her roommate had a miscarriage; she witnessed it and was left with psychological trauma. She kept thinking she was pregnant, and even her serum HCG rose."

"……" Director Kong was speechless.

"Yesterday I gave her an intramuscular injection of diazepam, told her to have an abortion, and then this morning's recheck showed her serum HCG back to normal." Zheng Ren said, "It's a minor issue; go see the patient."

"Damn it!" Director Kong cursed inwardly, wondering if they still had to assign a psychologist to Haicheng Shi Yiyuan.

……

My maternal grandmother, after turning sixty, became allergic to chive blossom pollen. Before sixty she was fine; the BT reaction was very strange, and far-fetched explanations could be found, but they were always unconvincing. Another thing: while on emergency duty, I wouldn't dare say that like Director Kong does, or the nurses would beat me to death. That was really busy…… A dozen or so years ago, when I was young and ignorant, I once said something like that. Three critical emergency rescue cases came in one night. All the general doctors and nurses were dragged from their homes; afterward they were panicked like stray dogs, and only after treating the department to a meal did their anger subside.
