Chapter 796: Reveal All the Details
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sunday was bright and breezy.
The sky was blue.
The sun shone brightly.
The atmosphere in Yun Hua Hospital was remotely peaceful, and it was an extraordinary peace. When the doctors and nurses walked into the Emergency Medicine building, they slowed down for some reason.
The debridement room was empty. There was just a stainless steel basin by the side complaining about how unfair fate was because of the blood stains at its edges. ‘We’re all stainless steel basins. Some are used by pretty nurses for cooking instant noodles, some are filled with tumors by the handsome nurses, some are used by professional orthopedists to cook femurs, but some can only stay in the debridement room to receive broken glasses with some of a ruffian’s flesh attached to it, in the end, we might not even be cleaned carefully.’
“You over there, come over here.” Doctor Zhou tried hard to get a Sunday shift, and he was in a good mood. He waved his hand to call Houseman Qu Xiaolian and said, “Get an ECG monitor over for Bed 14. The patient was making a lot of noise just now.”
“Oh.” Qu Xiaolian obediently answered.
“Don’t be slow now. If it’s myocardial infarction, it’ll be troublesome. You know what the electrocardiogram for myocardial infarction looks like, right?” Doctor Zhou softened the young man up before throwing in the bait.
Just as he expected, Qu Xiaolian’s voice became slightly louder. “I know!”
“Go ahead then.” Doctor Zhou waved his hand before he settled back down on the chair.
Qu Xiaolian walked away rapidly. For housemen, the electrocardiograms for myocardial infarction were still very alluring, and not every doctor could view it during their housemanship.
Naturally, the period for housemanship was short, so there were a lot of things they might miss out on, but for youngsters, it was naturally good to experience more things.
Doctor Zhou only smiled calmly. The risk of myocardial infarction for Bed 14 was extremely small, but of course, it could not be completely eliminated. Therefore, they needed to do an electrocardiogram to check.
However, the situation now was most convenient. Doctor Zhou had deceived ten generations of housemen in the name of myocardial infarction. When he thought of the time he first invented this skill, he was still a resident doctor.
Doctor Zhou took a long breath and could not help but sigh sentimentally, “Just where did time fly to…?”
“Sucked away by the salted fish, I reckon.” Zhao Leyi sat over in a lackadaisical fashion.
Doctor Zhou turned around and asked Zhao Leyi, “Have you treated that patient?”
“Transferred to the Nephrology Department,” Zhao Leyi answered, “Renal insufficiency. Dialysis alone will not do anything.”
“Yep,” Doctor Zhou answered. He could not help but yawn, and he raised his head to take a glance around at the young, busy doctors. He shook his head and said, “If I continue working in such a busy fashion, I might get renal insufficiency myself.”
“You? Busy?” Zhao Leyi sneered. He heard no retort, and after a few seconds, he said, “Have you heard? He Yuanzheng from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery has recommended Zhang Anmin for the position of assistant lecturer.”
“Zhang Anmin works for the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. If He Yuanzheng wants to promote him, let him.” Doctor Zhou turned to another side to allow the rays of the sun, which were not very hot, to warm him up a little more.
Zhao Leyi sneered again. “Why are you still pretending? Zhang Anmin belongs to Ling Ran, and who in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery and Emergency Department doesn’t know this?”
“So what?” Doctor Zhou asked.
Zhao Leyi was annoyed. Doctor Zhou and he were both attending physicians, and the title of associate chief physician has not appeared anywhere near them yet.
However, Zhao Leyi was not willing to bring this up. If he said it, he would make himself appear very weak.
Zhao Leyi could only say in a disdainful tone, “He Yuanzheng is a wimp.”
Doctor Zhou just smiled without answering.
The position of an assistant lecturer, which also meant that the doctor will be promoted to the position of associate chief physician as well, was the main goal among the doctors in the hospital, because not everyone was qualified to apply for the position of an assistant lecturer, especially doctors who were underqualified and were not outstanding. They would usually stop their advancement in their career at the level of an assistant lecturer.
But being an assistant lecturer was already good enough, especially those in tertiary Grade A hospitals. If they could work as the leader for a treatment group for a few years, even if they might not feel happy, their wives would still be happy. This was especially so for a doctor like Zhao Leyi. At least he could still enjoy a few years being happy and being respected.
Since associate chief physician was something everyone vied for, Doctor Zhou regarded it with very little importance. Once people start to pursue his position, even normal people would need to work so hard that their bodies will eventually collapse.
Zhao Leyi glanced at Doctor Zhou, and he said in displeasure, “You too.”
“What do the matters of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery have to do with us?”
“They’re using Old Huo’s resources.”
“What does that have to do with us again?”
Zhao Leyi had no retort for that.
Doctor Zhou chuckled again before he turned around, giving off the air that he did not want to continue the conversation.
At this time, Qu Xiaolian returned briskly. “Doctor Zhou, the electrocardiogram is out. The patient is fine.”
“Are you slightly disappointed?” Doctor Zhou raised his head and took a glance at Qu Xiaolian.
“Nope, no.” Qu Xiaolian quickly shook his head.
Doctor Zhou nodded. “That’s the right attitude. Doctors would rather have the medication on the rack expiring than using them. If there’s no problem with his electrocardiogram, it’s a good thing.”
Qu Xiaolian obediently nodded.
“Oh yes, you’ll need to tell those lab assistants to hurry up with the patient’s biochemical test, and it’ll be good if you can bring him for a B-Scan as well…”
Qu Xiaolian said in a low voice, “Doctor Zhou, someone in my family wants to come for a consultation, and I want to bring them around.”
“Your family member is sick? Alright, go ahead then.” Doctor Zhou did not even ask about the sickness. After all, he was a doctor in the Emergency Department, so he was afraid that he would get the case if he asked.
But Zhao Leyi asked, “Which department are you going to?”
“It’s hemorrhoid. Doctor Ma and Doctor Yu said they could handle it,” Qu Xiaolian answered softly.
“Ling Ran’s treatment group is even desperate for hemorrhoid patients now?” Zhao Leyi took the opportunity to mock them.
Qu Xiaolian pretended as if he did not understand what he said. He said, “Doctor Yu and Doctor Ma have performed quite a number of hemorrhoid surgeries recently, and their performance is pretty good.”
Zhao Leyi waved his hand and looked like he was too lazy to even say anything.
Qu Xiaolian immediately turned around. He felt that the atmosphere in the room had become depressing, and he was afraid that he would be blamed.
“Oh yea, where has Doctor Ling been? Went out for freelance surgery again?” Zhao Leyi’s cynical tone had not disappeared.
Qu Xiaolian quickly shook his head. “Doctor Ling is performing hepatectomy.”
“In the operating theater of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery?”
“I’m not sure about the exact details.” Qu Xialian dared not answer a question like this.
Zhao Leyi snorted, “What’s not to be certain about this? He’s supporting Zhang Anmin.”
“In Operating Theater 1.” What Doctor Zhou said was Operating Theater 1 in the Emergency Medical Center.
Zhao Leyi turned around. “How do you know?”
“Just now, I saw the department director of the General Surgery Department from the Second People’s Hospital come out of it.” Doctor Zhou gestured with his chin to indicate the window.
Zhao Leyi’s eyelids twitched. “He’s working so hard?”
“Maybe Zhang Anmin is the chief surgeon?” Doctor Zhou’s tone was calm, but his gaze was sharp.
Zhao Leyi was stunned. “Impossible. How would Zhang Anmin have the courage to perform hepatectomy, and would he have the courage to have people watch him?”
“Why not?” Doctor Zhou questioned back.
Zhao Leyi frowned. “Zhang Anmin has never done this in the hospital before…”
“To whom do we show when we perform hepatectomy in our hospital?”
Zhao Leyi was rendered speechless. He hesitated for a few seconds before he firmly shook his head. “I know Zhang Anmin. He learned hepatectomy not too long ago, so what right does he have to be a chief surgeon?”
Doctor Zhou’s tone was cool. “If an expert teaches you everything and lets you learn a surgical method, a few months would be enough.”
