Chapter 40 (2/2)

The doctors and nurses on the scene waited for Zheng Ren’s instructions but he merely stood beside the patient quietly with his arms folded.

“What about the resuscitation? Why did Chief Zheng administer three ampoules of diprophylline and do nothing afterward?”

“Keep quiet. This is our new chief resident and I’ve heard that Old Chief Physician Pan likes him very much.”

“So what? We still need to resuscitate him. Are we just going to stand here and wait for the patient to die?”

Zheng Ren, whose hearing seemed to have improved somewhat after being in the System for a long time, overheard the nurses’ whispers.

“It’s alright.” Zheng Ren turned around and smiled. “This patient’s condition is special. I’m guessing that his symptoms will be relieved in around three minutes. The administration of a large dosage of drugs will slow down his metabolism and cause other complications to occur.”

The doctors and nurses on the scene stopped their discussion after hearing Zheng Ren’s polite and confident words. He was the chief resident, after all. He had to bear the responsibility and face the patient’s parents if something bad happened to him.

The fact that they remained silent did not mean that they trusted Zheng Ren’s decision, which was why they still paid close attention to the patient’s condition.

The patient already had a laryngeal edema. Was he expecting to solve the problem by administering diprophylline only? What a joke!

However, a few minutes later, the patient’s respiratory rate had gradually stabilized and his heart rate had decreased to 110 beats per minute, which none of them had foreseen.

His lips cyanosis had alleviated as well and his condition had improved drastically.

What… What the h.e.l.l was this? After the doctors and nurses realized that the patient’s condition had gradually improved as they did nothing at all, they turned to Zheng Ren in disbelief.

“Young man, are you awake?” Zheng Ren tapped the patient’s shoulder gently.

The patient waved his hand to indicate a yes.

“Reduce the oxygen flow to 3L per minute. I’ll explain the situation to the patient’s family.” Zheng Ren tapped the patient’s shoulder gently again to comfort him and left the room.

“You, stand up and talk to me,” said Zheng Ren a little roughly after exiting the room and noticing the girl sobbing on her knees.

“Doctor, how… how is he?”

“He is fine, so why are you even crying? The patient’s condition has stabilized. I’m here to explain his illness and I need your cooperation,” said Zheng Ren.

“Okay.” Knowing everything was fine, the girl quickly wiped her tears, sniffed forcefully and stood.

The girl, who was in her early twenties, had short hair and slightly rough skin. It was obvious that her family was in a bad way. Her shoddy eyeshadow was a mess, with black powder smeared around her eyes, making her look like a huge panda.

She was wearing a red sweater and Zheng Ren could even detect a pungent chemical smell that was characteristic of cheap clothing from it.

Rich or poor made no difference in the doctors’ eyes, but of course, it was a whole different story to the hospital authorities.

“The patient’s condition is stable. I’m guessing that he can go home tomorrow after one night of hospital stay for observation,” Zheng Ren rea.s.sured the girl.

“Huh?” The good news was unexpected and the girl was having a hard time believing it.

Little Zhao squeezed to the front of the crowd and found a position with a decent view as the live broadcast continued.

The crowd was dumbfounded as well.

“His face was purple when they carried him into the room. Is already he dead and the doctor is actually consoling his family?”

“Doctors wouldn’t have the courage to do this. Perhaps his condition has really improved.”

“Are you kidding me? Only a few minutes have pa.s.sed. It’s not like the doctor gave him an elixir of life and brought him back from the dead.”

Soft whispers traveled among the crowd. Little Zhao, who was focused on the livestream, remained quiet as he was unsure if whatever Zheng Ren had mentioned just now was true. He merely moved the phone camera around and recorded the expression of everyone on the scene.

“Take off your s.h.i.+rt and the patient will be fine,” said Zheng Ren.

Boom! An explosion occurred in the crowd.

Was he a perverted doctor? He dared ask the patient’s family member to take off her s.h.i.+rt?! What a shameless b*stard!
