Chapter 736: with translation of title
The private car owner was very happy; he had waited a long time before getting the assignment. Moreover, it was considered a squeeze, because his car was relatively spacious.
Two young Faction soldiers wearing field camouflage uniforms got into the car, looking exhausted.
He still wanted to chat, to keep the atmosphere as unembarrassing as possible, giving the two a feeling of being home. But as soon as the two sat down in the car, before he could speak, faint snoring came.
He was exhausted; the private car owner sighed. It seemed unnecessary to talk; all he could do was drive as steadily as possible, not disturbing their sweet dreams.
All the way to Rongcheng Provincial Hospital, the road was crowded with vehicles and people, so speed could not be picked up. After driving for several hours, they finally arrived.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun slept the whole way, without changing their posture.
The private car owner looked at their young faces covered in bruises and fatigue, feeling a sigh in his heart.
That military uniform, whose unit was unknown, looked especially reassuring.
In times of danger, seeing that uniform made all difficulties seem insignificant.
Should he let them sleep a bit longer, or wake them up? The private car owner hesitated.
He didn't know what urgent task these two young fellows had; if they kept sleeping like that, it would delay things.
But seeing how exhausted they were, the private car owner couldn't bear to wake them.
An Emergency Rescue Service ambulance came speeding from afar, its piercing sound reminding the doctors in the Provincial Hospital's emergency department to hurry and prepare to receive patients.
"Oh? We're here." Zheng Ren and Su Yun opened their eyes at the same time, glanced around, and dazedly realized they were not at Haicheng City First Hospital but had already arrived at the Provincial Hospital.
The sound of the ambulance had left a deep imprint in the doctors' bodies; hearing it, their bodies would naturally react.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun were sleeping soundly, the kind that wouldn't wake even to thunder, yet they were roused by the distant sound of the Emergency Rescue Service.
"Master, thank you." Zheng Ren smiled and said.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The private car owner said.
Zheng Ren got out of the car, waved at the private car owner to say goodbye, then strode into the Provincial Hospital.
Seeing Zheng Ren walk straight without asking for directions, Su Yun asked, "Boss, have you been here before?"
"During my internship, I looked for classmates and came here a few times."
"You don't recognize people, yet you don't get lost either."
"Getting lost? How could that be." Zheng Ren said it as a matter of course. In his view, remembering a person's face is infinitely harder than remembering a road. Moreover, one has to link that face to countless names, plus temperament and disposition—it's simply tedious to death.
As for roads, even inside skyscrapers that are like mazes, Zheng Ren's mind has a corresponding three-dimensional structural analysis.
If it were changed to faces… well, I won't mention that for late-stage face blindness.
The two arrived at the Intervention Department all the way; extra beds were set up in the hallway, with many volunteers shuttling between beds. Doctors in white coats occasionally appeared, and little nurses flew about changing IVs and blood bags.
This is indeed busier than Pengxi Township, Zheng Ren thought.
He approached a doctor and asked, "Greeting, is Director Chen in?"
"Director Chen?" The doctor blinked, "I'm not from this department; which Director Chen are you looking for?"
Zheng Ren glanced at the name tag; it was a doctor from the Gastroenterology Department.
It's likely that the doctors of surgery and other operative departments are busy in the operating rooms, so the matter is directly handed over to the internal medicine doctors to handle.
Zheng Ren blinked, and Su Yun called him from that side.
"Boss, this way." Su Yun, on that side, found a little nurse to ask about the situation; the nurse was pouring out beans, telling Su Yun everything she knew.
It seems that for such matters in the future, letting Su Yun handle them will do; Zheng Ren thought to himself.
He came to Su Yun's side; Su Yun and the little nurse smiled and expressed their thanks, then they led Zheng Ren away.
"Boss, Director Chen is a retired old director; he's currently busy in the gastroenterology ward. There are too many casualties, and the hospital has entered temporary emergency management procedures—pre-operative critical patients are here, postoperative patients are placed elsewhere."
"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded.
The two hurried to the Gastroenterology Department; seeing the hallway, just like in the Intervention Department, it was full of patients.
It's likely that all departments are the same; these days, lightly wounded should be gradually transferred to county-city hospitals in the rear for treatment and rest.
"Su Yun, go find Director Chen." Zheng Ren summed up his experience and immediately put it into practice.
Su Yun pursed her lips, didn't object, and went straight to the treatment room to find the nurse who adds medicine.
Zheng Ren stood in the hallway, watching volunteers move between beds, comforting the wounded, recording the data doctors needed—everything was orderly.
Fortunately, it wasn't as chaotic as he had imagined.
Zheng Ren was very worried that the casualties pouring in from the disaster zone would overwhelm and collapse the medical system; looking at this, it seems he overthought it.
He smiled, seeing a volunteer stride over quickly.
Zheng Ren made way; the volunteer hurried toward the doctors' office.
Heading toward them, Su Yun and a thin, frail old person came out of the office. The volunteer immediately jogged a few steps to the old person's side and said a few words.
The old person told him to go back first; he would go see himself right away.
Zheng Ren knew that countless volunteers were like the eyes of doctors stationed in the wards, helping doctors and nurses observe conditions and eliminate hidden dangers.
Soon, Su Yun and the old person walked over.
"Doctor Zheng, we meet again." The old person said with a hearty laugh.
"Director Chen, greeting." Zheng Ren bowed and performed Jiu Gong.
"I'll go see a patient, then take you to the operating room." Old Director Chen said: "You did very well in Pengxi Township, especially well."
Zheng Ren smiled and said nothing.
"Most of the casualties' surgeries have already been settled; the remainder mostly require amputation. Your arrival is perfectly timed, little Zheng—tell me, what are you preparing to do?" Old Director Chen walked and asked.
Zheng Ren was about to speak when Old Director Chen had already entered the ward.
In the upper-right corner of his field of vision, the System Panel showed a vivid red hue.
"This is…" Zheng Ren stared for a moment.
Abdominal aortic dissection aneurysm!
Zheng Ren quickly found the most lethal one among the many diagnoses!
After the wounded completed surgery, they complained of severe pain, so the volunteers went to find the on‑duty doctor to have a look.
Director Lao Chen was about to examine the patient when Zheng Ren frowned and asked, "Director Chen, what examinations are there?"
Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren, said nothing, moved his steps slightly, and retreated half a step to the side.
"The patient, after undergoing interventional treatment for a pelvic fracture at our hospital two hours ago, has been complaining of severe abdominal pain; a CT was performed." Director Lao Chen didn't think Zheng Ren's question abrupt, and first took out the CT film and handed it to Zheng Ren.
"Director Chen, prepare for emergency surgery." Zheng Ren glanced at the film and then said.
