Chapter 41: Color Hypersensitivity

“What the f*ck! What kind of lousy doctor is this?!”

“I swear I’ll kill him if he dared to speak to me in that way.”

“Is this the medical standard of Sea City General Hospital?”

The voices in the crowd started to become louder and the raging fire was about to get out of control.

Little Zhao winked at Zheng Ren repeatedly to warn him about the imminent danger but went completely unnoticed.

“Why are you guys shouting? Are you doctors? If you’re so smart, then you might as well treat the patients yourself!” Little Zhao, who believed in loyalty, stood up for Zheng Ren in the end.

“Did you buy this s.h.i.+rt today or just planned on wearing it today?” asked Zheng Ren while ignoring the exasperated crowd.

“…” The girl was stupefied.

In what way was her s.h.i.+rt related to her boyfriend’s condition?

Even so, she nodded in response honestly. “Today is the first anniversary of our first meeting. I bought this s.h.i.+rt a few days ago but today is the first time I put it on. We initially planned to have lunch together but I didn’t expect…”

Tears started welling up in her eyes again.

“Don’t cry,” Zheng Ren raised his eyebrows and proclaimed. “Your boyfriend suffers from a rare condition called color hypersensitivity. This s.h.i.+rt was the cause of his allergic reaction.”

“…”

Not just the girl, but the crowd was flabbergasted as well.

Color hypersensitivity? What in the world was that?

“To put it simply, it’s fine if your boyfriend takes a short glance at this uncommon red color, but if he keeps staring at it, a stress response will occur in his body, hence the allergic reaction,” Zheng Ren’s confident voice soothed their minds.

His diagnosis was clear and the treatment was also simple.

“Take off your sweater and be careful later. We’ll transfer the patient to the observation unit after this. He has to fast for twelve hours to prevent any sort of irritating food from causing another allergic reaction,” Zheng Ren advised.

The girl nodded vigorously and took off her sweater without the slightest hesitation.

She wanted to fold her sweater and put it away, but was unable to do so as she only carried a small handbag with inadequate s.p.a.ce.

Gritting her teeth, she threw the newly purchased sweater into the rubbish bin.

“Don’t!” Zheng Ren understood the mindset of the poor and stopped her immediately. “I’ll keep it for you. Keep all your valuables with you and you can take it from me when the patient is discharged. It’s a pity to throw new clothes away.”

Little Zhao and the crowd was dumbstruck. Was this the diagnosis?

A patient on the verge of death had been treated just like that?

“Chief Zheng, the patient’s heart rate has returned to normal and oxygen saturation is at 100 percent. Can I transfer him to the observation unit?” asked a nurse.

“Sure, go ahead. He’s fine now.”

The crowd started buzzing with excitement and the scene became chaotic again as the patient was wheeled out from the resuscitation room to the observation unit.

“Has he really recovered? Was his condition really serious just now?”

“Very serious. I saw him with my own eyes when the ambulance came. His face was purple, his hands seemed to be purple too, and he was frothing at the mouth. It was a scary sight!”

“Stop talking nonsense. Would his girlfriend cry her eyes out if his condition wasn’t serious?”

Little Zhao, who had regained his composure quickly, stared at his cell phone with dozens of comments flooding the live broadcast room. Obviously, this livestream had gained a good amount of popularity.

“Brothers, send me gifts for witnessing the awesome work of the divine doctor!” He had not forgotten to get his cut despite the hectic moment.

As the whole process had been completely unexpected, the viewers in his live broadcast room were extremely enthusiastic and started bombarding the online streamer with various stream rewards—free fishb.a.l.l.s, airplanes, and even rockets.

[Broadcaster, what did he do just now? Can you explain it again because I didn’t see it.]
