Most surgeries were assigned to the general surgery department except for those that were urgent, which were directed to the emergency department. Therefore, the emergency department was usually idle. Moreover, with Little Six’s influence over the department’s security, there were fewer unruly patients and families making a scene. The days passed by peacefully. Zheng Ren did three to five emergency surgeries a day. Occasionally, a few doctors from the obstetric and gynecology department, knowing…

The patient suffered from an acute but simple case of cholecystitis. During the transfer of the patient to the emergency department, Zheng Ren noticed that Su Yun and Xie Yiren had gone to prepare for the surgery. Under normal circumstances, informed consent procedures were handled by a junior surgeon. The junior surgeon would transport the patient to the operating room and begin anesthesia and disinfection. Once surgical drapes were in place, the junior surgeon would notify the senior surgeon.…

Xie Yiren greeted Zheng Ren and Su Yun with a wave and headed straight to the on-call room. When Zheng Ren caught up, she was already in the process of unpacking the dishes. The size of the lunchbox belied the amount of food it carried. It opened up to reveal three more compartments. Zheng Ren was not familiar with this manufacturer. ‘How complicated,’ Zheng Ren thought as he studied the lunchbox, his hunger forgotten. The glee in Xie Yiren’s eyes was unmistakable as she carefully removed…

The patient’s family was shocked at the sudden news. “I have just returned from a conference in America and they had a patient with the same condition,” Zheng Ren lied reassuringly, loud enough that he could be heard by the patient. “I brought back a type of medication that’s very effective in treating such an illness but it’s a bit pricey.” “She’ll be cured?” the elder son of the patient asked immediately. “It has a 100% cure rate,” Zheng Ren replied confidently without…

Since it was approaching noon soon, Chang Yue insisted on inviting the patient’s son to a nearby noodle restaurant for lunch. The patient’s son quickly rejected the kind offer, but Chang Yue was firm in her decision. Yang Lei went along with Chang Yue. Zheng Ren, who was unable to leave the hospital, spoke to the patient for a while and saw them out before heading to the cafeteria. If subsequent issues would take more than ten minutes to complete, every experienced clinician would have to…

Zheng Ren was puzzled when he heard the voice, but Chang Yue immediately stood up and asked, “Brother Sui?” “Yes.” The speaker seemed to be afraid of the well-dressed group and merely stood outside, not daring to enter. “Please, come in,” Chang Yue greeted the newcomer enthusiastically; weaving through the crowd without even so much as sparing them a glance, she pulled an honest-looking man into the room. The man was carrying a basket with a confused look on his face. Zheng Ren felt…

The next morning, Old Chief Physician Pan brought along for his ward round Zheng Ren, Su Yun and Yang Lei to check the two patients who had undergone surgery yesterday in the ICU. The blood pressure of Old Man Tang, whose diastolic pressure had been undetectable upon admission yesterday, had normalized and was currently stable. The blood tests conducted this morning showed that the hemoglobin had increased to a low normal level and coagulation remained unchanged, but there was a mild derangement noted…

Warm normal saline was used to irrigate the peritoneal cavity. Even though the surgery completion rate on the System panel was high and would reach 100 percent following the closure of the abdominal surgical wound, Zheng Ren still cautiously examined the peritoneal cavity for any active bleeding spots. This was probably a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder that every surgeon suffered. A detailed examination was absolutely necessary as reoperation due to postoperative hemorrhaging would be more…

After telling Xie Yiren to summon the group of pleasure-seeking doctors for overtime, Zheng Ren stuffed the rest of the meat into his mouth. In the emergency department located on the first floor, a woman helplessly stood in the resuscitation room, covered in blood with fear written all over her face. Zheng Ren quickly reentered the emergency department and glanced at the patient on the bed. On the upper right corner of his vision floated the System panel with a diagnosis painted in light…

Before Zheng Ren could react, a figure charged past him at lightning speed, like a cheetah. In the blink of an eye, the young robber was already on the floor with his elbow twisted underneath a large foot. It was a professional maneuver to subdue an opponent as it fully conformed to one’s body mechanics and ergonomics, but simply knowing about it did not mean Zheng Ren was able to execute it. “Doctor Zheng, we meet again.” Fan Tianshui smiled. Zheng Ren had long forgotten about this man…
