  • by Christopher Thompson Zheng Ren took out his cell phone and called the emergency department. Soon, a paramedic rushed over with a stretcher trolley, almost out of breath. Zheng Ren leaned closer to the paramedic and said softly, “Everything is fine.” “A troublemaker?” guessed the paramedic, an experienced man, as he scanned the area. “Yes.” After the brief conversation, they quickly transferred the rogue to the stretcher trolley and hurried to the emergency department. Upon arrival at the emergency…
  • by Christopher Thompson Emergency response was a daily routine in the emergency department, and Zheng Yunxia was merely an interlude, an unplanned issue that had to be dealt with. Two patients with serious abdominal issues—acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis respectively—arrived during the day. Due to inadequate preoperative fasting in the former patient, Zheng Ren had decided to perform cholecystectomy first and proceed with appendectomy later. Three surgeries in one day was normal in his day-to-day life.…
  • by Christopher Thompson Chang Yue explained every detail, including immediate fasting to hasten testing and hospital admission fees, to Zheng Yunxia in two minutes. ‘This girl looks cold but is actually enthusiastic. How good it would be if she could treat me the same way she usually treats patients.’ Zheng Ren was daydreaming as he read a book. Passion and mindfulness were, beyond doubt, the most essential qualities a good clinician needed to have. … … An hour later, Zheng Yunxia appeared in the…
  • by Christopher Thompson They were in the emergency interventional radiology suite in Sea City General Hospital. “Zheng Ren, save me a copy of the angiographic footage,” said Su Yun as he took off his lead apron; the patient, whose puncture wound had stopped bleeding, was being transferred to a stretcher trolley. A urological surgeon would take over the patient from here. “Sure,” answered Zheng Ren without questioning the man’s motives. Su Yun, who was not in a rush to change his attire, quietly stood behind…
  • by Christopher Thompson Shenzhen City, a city open to all. The phrase, “everyone is welcome to Shenzhen City”, was deeply ingrained in the hearts of all of its people. Following the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, Shenzhen City received another boost to its already rapid development. People of all creeds and origins swarmed into Shenzhen City from all over the country, and to sustain this influx, hospitals with multiple specialties were established. In addition, there was a massive influx of medical…
  • by Christopher Thompson Thus, the emergency care department progressively became busier as the days went by. Within the span of a week, Zheng Ren managed to perform sixteen appendectomies and seven acute cholecystitis surgeries. On top of that, he also saved a patient from a knife wound that required a splenectomy. Emergency care was like this every day: overwhelmingly busy. Due to Old Chief Physician Pan’s hard work at the right time, manpower had increased in the department. The entire first general surgery…
  • by Christopher Thompson Abnormalities to one’s thyroid function would result in bulging eyeballs. However, the pregnant woman earlier simply had a huge pair of eyes with double eyelids. They were far from what a person’s eyes would look like if they suffered abnormal thyroid function. “Are you being serious right now?” Chief Surgeon Su began to sound impatient. She had actually considered the possibility of a rare disease; if the patient’s eyes had actually been protruding, a thyroid function test would have…
  • by Christopher Thompson It was late night and Zheng Ren was about to drift away into dreamland. However, soft whispers could be heard from the bed in front of him. “How in the world did you practice your surgeries, Chief Zheng? From the way you look, you don’t seem to be blessed with talent at all, but somehow your surgical skills are in fact impeccably impressive. Could I possibly have been wrong?” “...” Zheng Ren cursed internally. He had decided to ignore Su Yun by pretending to be asleep. “So not…
  • by Christopher Thompson Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The woman’s name was Zheng Yunxia and she was twenty-eight years of age this year. She had once been a kindergarten teacher in Sea City. During a clinical checkup half a year ago, she had discovered a space-occupying liver lesion, and after a detailed analysis had been carried out in Sea City General Hospital, it was determined to be liver cancer requiring surgery. Zheng Yunxia was from a small farming village and was not…
  • by Christopher Thompson The woman was in her mid-thirties but looked younger than that. However, she had thinning hair. Zheng Ren assumed it to be the side effects of chemotherapy. There was a light-hearted smile on her face as she walked over with Chang Yue. “Hey, why are you guys hiding like rats?” Chang Yue asked with a laugh. Zheng Ren gave them a dumb smile and stayed mum. He did not know the details and decided to play it safe. “Let’s get Su Yun and go to dinner,” Chang Yue said as she returned the…
