Although the patient’s family still had their doubts, seeing Chief Xia and Professor Rudolf Wagner both agreed with Zheng Ren’s words made them feel like they were left with no other choice.

They began to go through the hospitalization procedures and prepared for emergency surgery according to Zheng Ren’s diagnosis.

“Boss, Sister Zhao is free at noon,” Su Yun said to Zheng Ren after Chief Xia left.

“Okay, we’ll go at noon then.” After saying that, Zheng Ren remembered the patient named Li Chen whom he had help to admit in the morning. He said to Chang Yue, “Chang Yue, ask Li Chen if he had breakfast this morning.”

“He didn’t have breakfast. He was prepared to undergo a blood test this morning but I told him he didn’t have to,” Chang Yue replied.

Most patients thought that they could take their blood test on the first day they were admitted to the hospital. Many of them came to the hospital without having breakfast.

In places like the Capital and Shanghai where patients gathered all over the country, hospitals would adopt the method of checking up on patients as soon as they were admitted in order to establish a faster turnover rate.

However in places like Sea City, the number of patients and surgeries done were far from overcapacity.

Therefore, patients who basically came to the hospital on an empty stomach would end up in disappointment and repeat their fasting for the next day.

Zheng Ren guessed that there might be such a possibility. When he heard Chang Yue say that, he quickly said, “Chang Yue, quickly tell Li Chen not to eat or drink yet. Let’s do some 64-slice CT scans with 3D-image reconstruction together at noon.”

“Okay.” Chang Yue never held back on work matters.

After explaining all this, Zheng Ren’s messy morning finally calmed down a little.

Zheng Ren really wanted to sit down and enter the System to read the periodicals and magazines. However, he remembered that he had not gone to the emergency observation room yet, so he had to be cautious.

He braced himself and walked out of the office.

Su Yun followed him and said beside Zheng Ren, “Boss, based on your understanding of CT scans, I really doubt that you’ve done machine maintenance before.”

“I’ll be fine,” Zheng Ren said.

Seeing Zheng Ren’s dismissive att.i.tude, Su Yun pursed his lips. However, when he thought about how high Zheng Ren’s standards were, it did not matter what he said as Zheng Ren would usually easily prove him wrong. Therefore, he could only hold back his tongue.

This made him feel so sullen. It was just like how Chang Yue would always use a provocative gaze to say, “I’ll treat you to a drink tonight.”

‘My skills are inferior to others. This is really… ‘ Su Yun sighed in his heart.

He had just arrived at the Emergency Department when he heard a commotion.

Zheng Ren frowned and hurriedly rushed over.

A patient was standing in the hall with a list in his hand, pa.s.sionately talking about something.

There were other bystanders beside him, as well as doctors and nurses.

“The doctor told me that he wanted to help me change my dressing. How can he help me like this? Will I get an extra charge if he ‘helps’?” the person shouted.

Looking at his agitated expression, Zheng Ren was really worried that his blood pressure skyrocket and cause a cerebral hemorrhage.

“What happened?” Zheng Ren walked into the crowd and asked a nurse from the emergency department in a low voice.

“Chief Zheng, his arm is injured. He was st.i.tched up in our hospital a few days ago. Today, the surgeon changed his dressing. For some reason, he didn’t want to pay the fee, so he got into a fight,” the nurse whispered to Zheng Ren helplessly.

Zheng Ren talked to the nurse and instantly understood what had happened.

The patient must have come to ask for a change of dressing. For such a thing, it did not matter if he paid the fee first or later. It was not much money anyway. It was different from the Capital and Shanghai. The price of changing one’s dressing in Sea City was only 10 to 80 yuan.

Most people who ran away felt that it was troublesome to pay, so they simply left.

When they encountered reasonable people who were afraid of trouble, they simply threw 10 to 20 yuan to the doctor and asked him to help pay the fee.

However, for the patient in front of him, Zheng Ren reckoned that the surgeon said that he would ‘help’ him to change his dressing and had given him a bill afterward. That was when the trouble had started.

Zheng Ren was also helpless. There was nothing he could do. The emergency department would always encounter problems of one kind or another.

However, this was not a big deal. Zheng Ren immediately contacted Medical Services and asked the security guard to warn the patient to go to head to Medical Services if he needed anything. If he continued causing a ruckus in the emergency hall, it could be considered a disturbance of public order and might require criminal detention.

Although the patient was a little unreasonable and wanted to save some money, he did not mind wasting time. However, the more someone felt that way, the more afraid they were of things like criminal detention.

If it were a few years ago, Zheng Ren really would not have been able to do anything about it.

Recently however, things like fighting criminals and pulling banners had been cla.s.sified as disturbing public order, so Zheng Ren had the confidence to say what he did.

There was no need to deal with such things. He could just leave it to the medical office and let the professionals deal with such unreasonable people.

However, it still delayed Zheng Ren for nearly an hour.

Zheng Ren looked at the resentful eyes of the minor receptionist in the medical office and felt a little embarra.s.sed. However, everyone had their own responsibilities. Zheng Ren could not spend a lot of time reasoning with others.

Moreover, Zheng Ren knew his own limits. Even if he explained it, he would not be able to do a good job on it.

He could not lower his IQ and explanations to his level… So he would be ‘defeated’ by someone who was richer in experiences compared to him.

After dealing with this matter, Zheng Ren walked around the emergency department’s observation room.

The patients’ conditions were all quite minor. In any case, as far as the System’s interface was concerned, all the patients showed a light red hue. There were no patients who seemed to be going through significant issues.

Zheng Ren wanted to go to the surgery department to comfort the emergency surgeon. He would definitely not be in a good mood when encountered with such a situation where he would not know whether to laugh or cry.

When he arrived at the examination room, a pale and listless patient caught Zheng Ren’s attention.

The patient was a female in her thirties. Her head was resting against a man’s shoulder. Her eyes were slightly closed, her brows tightly knit, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly. The doctor from the emergency department stood in front of the patient. She seemed to be in a difficult position. She wanted to say something but hesitated.

“What’s wrong?” Zheng Ren came to the physician’s side and asked.

“Sometimes, the patient complains of dizziness and headaches but her symptoms aren’t serious… Sometimes she says her arm hurts, and sometimes, it’s her leg.” The physician also felt very helpless.

According to the physician, the patient had typical psychological symptoms, hinting at hysteria. Besides that, it could also be from anxiety, depression, or any other mental illnesses.

Otherwise, one would not be uncomfortable in so many different parts of their body.

However, Zheng Ren saw a strange diagnosis on the System panel.

An allergy?

That was strange.

Zheng Ren said, “Go settle your work first. I’ll deal with this.”

The physician felt relieved. The room was full of people. If he did not handle his things now, there would be plenty of people who would be unhappy.

“I guess I’ll have to trouble you then, Chief Zheng.” The physician treated Zheng Ren as his savior and happily ran off.

Mental illnesses such as hysteria and anxiety disorders could not be confirmed with relevant data. They could only be guessed based on experience and one could not just simply inform them to the patient or their family.

If he were to be direct… Zheng Ren had met a neurosurgeon who ended up with a patient with hysteria and said that he just had a headache.

He happened to be in time for resuscitation. The neurosurgeon did not have a good temper or the time to be dismissive. Instead, he simply told the patient about his condition and suggested for them to go to a mental hospital to have it checked out.

It was no surprise when the patient made a complaint about the doctor the next day.

This kind of thing was quite troublesome for doctors.
