F*ck! What the hell happened again?! The sharp, chaotic noise instantly sent Zheng Ren’s entire system into overdrive. His blood pressure and heart rate skyrocketed. This was a common reaction during emergency situations. Therefore, most doctors and nurses working in the emergency department had varying degrees of arrhythmia and required metoprolol tablets to relieve their symptoms. Zheng Ren experienced palpitations, chest tightness and dyspnea, but the urgency forced him to ignore them as…

After the angiographic footage was edited, Zheng Ren and Old Chief Physician Pan walked out of the operating theater. Chang Yue and Tang Xiu were nowhere to be seen, presumably in the emergency ward right now. Amazed, Zheng Ren habitually complimented Chang Yue internally for her superb communication skills. The family member’s emotions had gone out of control, and yet Chang Yue had been able to calm her down within twenty minutes. Her ability was simply amazing. Zheng Ren returned to the…

Old Chief Physician Pan and Tang Xiu had just arrived outside the operating theater, but before she could inform her family members, the doors of the operating theater flung open and a stretcher trolley was wheeled out from inside. Tang Xiu was stunned. There was no white sheet on it. Her father’s greyish-white hair accentuated his ashen-grey complexion, which made him look like he had met his end. On the stretcher trolley sat a girl in a blue surgical gown. Her posture was particularly awkward…

The main purpose of the blood collection was to determine the patient’s blood type for subsequent transfusion. Blood transfusion was the best method to treat hemorrhagic shock. “A large amount of fluid is seen in the hepatic fossa with minimal fluid accumulation noted in the Morison’s pouch. The suspected cause is hepatic rupture leading to intraperitoneal hemorrhage,” the doctor reported the ultrasonographic findings. “What surgery are you going to do?” asked Old Chief Physician…

“You guys go ahead with the abdominal wound closure. I’ll head downstairs with the patient first.” Relaxed, Zheng Ren left the operating theater after ensuring that their surgery was uneventful as well. The moment he stepped out of the operating theater, he suddenly realized something and decided to take his time by chatting with the patient instead. The conversation continued until Su Yun and Yang Lei’s surgery was complete before the patients were wheeled out together. All family members…

“How much had he eaten?” asked Chu Yanran, surprised. “Just a decent amount of food. I heard that the dishes in that restaurant are delicious, and it offers unlimited oysters and American lobsters too.” “American lobsters are smaller in size. Australian spiny lobsters are much better.” “They’re almost the same. When my father had driven a car to chase antelopes in Africa last time, we had had seafood there and it tasted so good. The lobsters were quite big too,” Xie Yiren said…

Words of gratitude poured from the father’s mouth. Zheng Ren smiled politely at the father. They exchanged contacts as the father wanted to treat him to a meal once the little girl was healed. The middle-aged man grazed past Zheng Ren as he left the room. Zheng Ren discovered a thick red packet in the pocket of his white coat. The red packet, which rested inconspicuously in his pocket, was of considerable thickness. The sleight of hand was done in a smooth fashion that suggested the father…

Informing the family took almost ten minutes and by the end of it, the family members were pale as ashes. Every pre-surgery briefing ended this way as doctors explained all the potential complications that could arise from surgery. The probability of complications was one in a thousand, some were one in ten thousand. The possibility of complications was enough to scare most patients’ families, especially this family who adored the pigtailed girl. To the family, signing the informed consent…

“Mannerless.” Su Yun huffed. Zheng Ren smiled, unaffected. If he was an ordinary person visiting a clinic, given the choice between a young doctor and an old doctor, he knew he would go for a senior doctor. Experience was an important part of medicine. Therefore, the patient’s family was not wrong in their decision. Their response was just overly dramatic and straightforward, eliciting some discomfort in others. Zheng Ren did not take their words to heart. He gave them a polite smile,…

“Chief Su, why are you here?” Zheng Ren said in surprise. Chief Su from the obstetrics and gynecology department was walking toward him. The last they met was a few days ago when they went to check on the placenta abruption patient. “Let’s talk in the office,” Chief Su said. They went into the office. “Thank you for yesterday night.” “Anytime.” Zheng Ren lowered his head in respect when talking to the department chief. “Then, there is something that I would like your help…
