Zheng Ren nodded. He began to appreciate this young man's ability to do things.
"What's your surname?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Chief Zheng, you're too kind. My surname is Zhao. You can call me Xiao Zhao," the foreman said with a smile. "I'll take the rest of them to pay the bill and check out. You can just send an escort to show us the way."
Oh, so he was being thoughtful?
Or could it be that he was going to take these people away and beat them up again?
Zheng Ren immediately smiled. He was overthinking things. After such a hot-headed and passionate fight, would someone really want to beat others to death because of it? They were all common folk, not professionals trained in the Special Forces like Fan Tianshui.
"Well, talk to them properly," Zheng Ren instructed.
"Don't worry," the foreman said with a smile. "If I follow Brother Six's specific order, I'll be packing up and leaving Sea City tomorrow. I don't have enough ego to just stay around here."
The implicit flattery made Zheng Ren feel very comfortable.
'This young man is an expert when it comes to this sort of thing,' Zheng Ren judged.
"Okay, you guys go ahead." It was only then that Zheng Ren stood up and reached out his hand.
The foreman had a gentle and unflattering smile on his face, comforting those around him. He shook Zheng Ren's hand and left his contact information. He said that he would contact Zheng Ren if anything else happened on his end.
Seeing them leave, Zheng Ren shook his head and walked out of the consultation room.
"Boss Zheng, it's not that I want to criticize you but this is the stuff you bother expending your energy on?" Department Chief Kong complained.
Zheng Ren smiled honestly and did not argue with Department Chief Kong.
Actually, Department Chief Kong was right. This kind of trivial matter was nothing compared to doing TIPS surgery itself.
Zheng Ren was just about to call Department Chief Kong to the emergency ward to sit there for a while when he heard a shrill cry coming from the corridor.
"Doctor, help!"
His heart rate instantly went up to 120 beats per minute.
Zheng Ren did not have time to talk to Department Chief Kong. He quickly ran to the emergency room's entrance.
A group of people had rushed over to the corridor. The person in front was a muscular man dressed in greasy clothes. He was carrying someone on his back.
Because he was so muscular, Zheng Ren could not see the patient's diagnosis on the System's panel clearly. He quickly pointed to the emergency room and said, "Go there!"
The group of people rushed to the emergency room as the man placed the person on his back on the diagnosis bed.
They were so cold and pale with no signs of breathing.
The diagnosis shown to him was—rib fracture, sternum fracture, heart contusion, and cardiac tamponade. The writing he saw of the diagnosis was blurry as if it were about to disappear into the background of the white System panel.
Zheng Ren rushed forward and pushed away the burly man who had carried the patient. While quickly undressing the patient, he yelled out, "How did they get hurt?!"
Chapter 540 - Too Impulsive
The people there were stunned
Zheng Ren touched the patient's skin under their torn clothes to check their temperature. He found the person running a little warm.
There were multiple fractures on the sternum and ribs. Zheng Ren's hand touched it and felt that they were slightly dented.
The injuries were caused by a heavy object and were not from a stab wound.
When he realized this, his feeling suddenly changed completely to when he felt like he himself was being stabbed in the heart. Zheng Ren suddenly had a thought and felt like he had to help the patient no matter what.
At that moment, all the diagnoses had disappeared without a trace as the System's panel showed the pale color of death.
"Get the surgery room prepared immediately! You guys, take off the clothes!" Zheng Ren roared. After that, he quickly ran to the nearest stretcher trolley to grab some dressing, coming back once he grabbed a whole bunch of iodophor cotton balls.
He put on sterile gloves, grabbed a handful of iodophor cotton balls, and prepared to disinfect the patient's left pectoral.
However, when Zheng Ren looked back, the two workers in uniform who had brought the patient were taking off the clothes… Their own clothes, in fact.
The messier the whole situation got, the more trouble it would cause for him later!
The two young nurses took the bags so that they could cut them open. One helped Zheng Ren to open the sterile bag, while the other struggled to take off the patient's shirt.
"Take off the patient's clothes!" Zheng Ren barked out. Then without waiting for them, he wiped a handful of iodophor cotton balls on the patient's left pectoral as a few other people on the side began to take off the patient's clothes in a flurry.
Zheng Ren took the blade and cut open the patient's c.h.e.s.t. There was a 20cm incision between the sixth and seventh ribs.
Blood was gushing out from the wound.
Zheng Ren was slightly relieved.
The fact that the patient was bleeding proved that his guess was probably right.
The patient's ribs were broken beyond recognition, obstructing Zheng Ren's vision.
However, it would not pose any issues. After opening the c.h.e.s.t, Zheng Ren touched the heart that had expanded to the point of resistance. With the blade in his hand, he cut open a 3cm incision.
As the incision widened, Zheng Ren could feel a stream of liquid spurting onto his arm like a fountain.
He took out the blade and threw it into the incision bag.
"Push the bed to the operating theater!" Zheng Ren roared. "Call Su Yun and prepare for the operation!"
Department Chief Kong followed him into the emergency room and found a safe place to secretly watch.
With his many years of clinical experience, he judged that the patient was already dead. At this time, the possibility of saving the patient by performing c.h.e.s.t compressions was not very high and was simply a formality toward the patient's family.
A few more minutes of c.h.e.s.t compressions would give the patient's family a few more minutes to accept the fact that the patient had passed away.
This was the same whether in Sea City or the Capital.
However, he did not see Zheng Ren doing the perfunctory c.h.e.s.t compressions. Instead, he used the most extreme method—he went to the emergency to cut open the c.h.e.s.t wall and directly perform c.h.e.s.t compressions on the heart.
Not much blood spurted out but the surgical field was already messy. The rib fractures were serious and Zheng Ren's arm extended into the patient's c.h.e.s.t cavity.
All the blood and pericardial fluid sprayed onto Zheng Ren's arm.
When his hand was taken out, his forearm was dripping with blood. It was a scary sight to behold.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-studio_%!d(string=16489637605120805)/too-impulsive_%!d(string=51118311341083823) for visiting.
Not only the patient's family members, but even Department Chief Kong was shocked.
It was such an impulsive move... Department Chief Kong wanted to help but was slightly older. He had also drunk some alcohol, so his reaction speed was a few seconds slower too. The well-trained nurses and doctors of Sea City General Hospital were already pushing the bed as they ran toward the elevator.
Zheng Ren's roar echoed in the corridor. He told them to find Old Chief Physician Pan and get a family member who could sign for the emergency surgical treatment.
In less than a minute, the emergency room was just an empty mess.
Department Chief Kong and a few other family members of the patients who could not react looked at each other as if they were in a dream. They did not know what
had just happened.
Just now, he had said earlier that Boss Zheng's skills were wasted in Sea City. However, what was being displayed in front of them was Zheng Ren's clean and efficient rescue skills. Although Department Chief Kong did not approve of such things and though the risks were quite high, he could not blame Zheng Ren for going against the grain.
'I should go to the operating theater to take a look,' Department Chief Kong thought to himself.
When he walked out of the resuscitation room, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him as the two of them almost bumped into each other.
Department Chief Pan's face was dark as he shouted, "Who's the patient's family member? Whoever can sign for the patient should go and make the payment!"
A few people who looked like workmates looked at each other. One of them stood up and said in a low voice, "Doctor, we're workmates, not family members..."
It was then that he felt Department Chief Pan's sharp gaze on him. He felt that the pressure was especially great and even more terrifying than when he had just seen the fresh wound.
His mouth was dry, but he subconsciously swallowed and said in a low voice, "I've already informed his family."
Old Chief Physician Pan did not have the time to greet Department Chief Kong. He waved his hand and asked his workers to follow him. After that, he stood in the emergency department's hallway and took out his cellphone to call the medical department.
"Is this the medical department? This is Chief Physician Pan of the emergency department."
"It's a John Doe whose heart has stopped. He's already at the operating theatre. Hurry up and send someone over!"
After hanging up the phone, Old Chief Physician Pan grabbed a nurse who was about to clean up the resuscitation room and said loudly, "Go to the operating theatre's entrance and wait for the blood sample. If the blood transfusion department doesn't have enough blood, inform me immediately."
The nurse ran away in a flash.
Old Chief Physician Pan thought for a while and said to his workmates, "Go to one of them and look for the patient's family's phone number. Tell them to come to the emergency department's Chief Physician's office to look for me. Quickly get it done!"
His words were firm and forceful. He was fast but did not panic. Additionally, Old Chief Physician Pan was old and born with an attribute to make people trust him.
One of the workmates quickly looked for the foreman. Each family member's phone number could only be found from their end.
Old Chief Physician Pan then asked, "Who was at the scene? Tell me about how the patient's injury occurred."
A person stood out. His face was still covered in grease and there was a panicked expression on his face.
He calmed down for a few seconds before saying, "We're car mechanics. Little Liang Zi was just underneath the car repairing it when there was a problem with the jack and the entire car fell on him."
Old Chief Physician Pan nodded calmly.
The story of how the injury had occurred was very simple. With just that single response, the other did not know how to continue.
"The first-aid ambulance drove you all here?" Old Chief Physician Pan asked.
"At that time, we saw that there was blood coming from his mouth and nose. It seemed like he was having difficulties breathing, so we panicked and drove him here ourselves," the worker said.
Old Chief Physician Pan nodded and pointed at his office. "I'll wait here for the patient's family. When they come, tell them to look for me first."
The worker glanced at the nameplate on the door's right side. On it was written the words 'Emergency Department's Chief Physician's Office'.
He was the chief physician. They nodded in agreement to his words.
Old Chief Physician Pan and Department Chief Kong walked into the chief physician's office. Department Chief Kong felt that his mouth was dry, so he picked up a paper cup to get some water to moisten his throat so that he could talk to Old Chief Physician Pan.
Right before he could speak, hurried footsteps came from the corridor.
"Chief Physician Pan!"
"I'm in the office!"
Both of them shouted at the same time.
Chapter 541 - All Department Chief Kong’s Fault
A small clerk from the medical service department rushed to the chief physician's office with all kinds of equipment.
There were no words needed between them as the small clerk placed the camera equipment and began to carry out the necessary 'routine' procedures with Old Chief Physician Pan.
Seeing Old Physician Pan talk about the patient's condition, Zheng Ren's rescue process, and the surgery that was about to be prepared, Department Chief Kong was inexplicably surprised at what he was witnessing with his own eyes.
Did the two men from Sea City General Hospital have the gift of telepathy with each other?
Zheng Ren pulled the patient along, steeling his heart as he went up to the operating stage. Old Chief Physician Pan was in charge of other matters. He calmly faced the troublesome matter that even an old doctor like Department Chief Kong found particularly troublesome.
Sea City General Hospital's emergency department worked like a well-oiled machine. Zheng Ren and Old Chief Physician Pan were both different gears. When they worked together, there was almost no friction. All sorts of kinetic energy were released from it as efficiently as possible.
There was now an emergency resuscitation in the emergency department!
With authorization from the Medical Affairs Department, Old Chief Physician Pan was no longer in a hurry. After the Medical Affairs Department's junior staff member left with all the relevant materials, he finally had time to smile at Department Chief Kong.
"Chief Physician Pan, you're really fast that it feels as if you're working in the front line," Department Chief Kong praised him.
Nowadays, there were all kinds of conflicts in society. It was very difficult to see such a scene where people were willing to take care of each other and put their lives on the line.
"It's what I should be doing." Old Chief Physician Pan sat on the chair. There was not a hint of alcohol on his body as he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Chief Physician Pan, aren't you going to take a look at the surgery?" Department Chief Kong asked.
"The surgery? What's there to see?" Old Chief Physician Pan asked in return. However, he chuckled when he remembered that Department Chief Kong was a guest and did not understand the situation. He told him, "If you want to take a look, let's go up and do so. However, at this point, the surgery would probably almost be done by now."
Speechless, Department Chief Kong estimated that it had been less than thirty minutes since the patient had been sent over and Old Chief Physician Pan completed all the procedures.
The surgery was done? How was that possible!
He did not refute the other's comment but his expression revealed his true thoughts.
"Let's go, Old Kong. I'll bring you to take a look." Chief Pan did not point out the obvious expression on his face and said that with a smile.
Let the facts speak for themselves. It would have a better effect than them just staying there and saying 10,000 words.
When they walked out of the door, Old Chief Physician Pan shouted, "Xiao Liu, the patient's family is here. Tell them to go directly to the operating theater. In fact, please personally bring them there."
The nurse hurried did as told.
"Chief Physician Pan, does Boss Zheng know how to perform c.h.e.s.t surgery?" Department Chief Kong asked.
"He saved a patient with a heart knife injury and a cardiac tamponade before," Old Chief Physician Pan said. "The blood shot straight out across the room. However, the patient's luck then was better. The cardiac arrest should have only been around three minutes. He was probably fine after being saved."
"That's not much," Department Chief Kong said in a low voice.
"Zheng Ren has only been in the emergency department for a few months
." Old Chief Physician Pan's tone became a little heavier.
"What about before? Was Boss Zheng in the interventional department or..." Department Chief Kong asked.
He had heard before from Su Yun that Zheng Ren was a general surgery major who went to the emergency department to be the chief resident so that he could start performing interventional surgery again.
However, when he thought about it from a clinical perspective, something like that felt impossible.
If such a person really existed, graduate students under him could pretty much just find a corner to cry in.
"Let me tell you, Old Kong." When Old Chief Physician Pan mentioned Zheng Ren, he had a smug look on his face as if he was talking about his favorite youngest son. "A few months ago, Zheng Ren was still a junior doctor in the general surgery department. Someone invited Professor Moriyo from Japan to perform surgery and something had happened then. Later, a Whipple procedure was done by Zheng Ren himself."
This was the first time Department Chief Kong had heard about this.
He had done a Whipple procedure on his own?
"It's said that it took half an hour for the surgery to go from resection to abdominal closure. The surgery itself was done beautifully." Old Chief Physician Pan's face was flushed red. He brought Department Chief Kong to the operating theater while he recounted Zheng Ren's experience.
"I'm an army man so I have to be reasonable. If he's capable then he is. If he's not then he'll be looked down upon no matter where he goes."
Department Chief Kong nodded. That was indeed the case.
It was now an era of peace. If war was commonplace, a single general was useless and a thousand soldiers would simply be exhausted to death. Therefore, the army was the most practical when it came to things like these.
"Since he was originally located at a local hospital, you know how some of those people are. They wanted to kick Zheng Ren away, so I made my stance and asked the kid to come over with me." Old Chief Physician Pan sounded slightly agitated when he told the other about the event that had made him proud of himself.
