Chapter 188 - Put It Down, I’ll Do It (1/2)

“The infusion should be complete before noon, so we’ll go together later,” said Zheng Ren.

Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren as if he was a fool.

“Let’s go.”

“Where to?” Zheng Ren was puzzled.

“You need to undergo a cranial CT scan to rule out brain injury.”

“…”

“Can you please understand your current state?” Su Yun said angrily, “You’re injured, so how are you going to perform surgery in a lead ap.r.o.n? Do you want to lie down on the operating table again? I’ll attend the conference alone and you’ll get some rest here.”

“It ain’t that serious.” Zheng Ren shook his head. “I just want to gain knowledge from the conference.”

“You’re crazy,” replied Su Yun coldly.

Zheng Ren remained persistent despite their argument, so Su Yun left the room with the teta.n.u.s toxoid. Even though he had no desire to do anything now, he still subconsciously fulfilled his duties as the flawless a.s.sistant.

Since Zheng Ren had decided to go, Su Yun had to prepare the necessary doc.u.ments before attending the conference.

He also felt helpless.

“Give this to Boss Zheng later.” Su Yun pa.s.sed the teta.n.u.s toxoid to a trainee on duty in the thoracic surgery department.

Cla.s.s Three Grade A Hospitals in Imperial Capital usually had fewer doctors as tedious tasks—on-calls, medical record doc.u.mentation and surgery—were usually performed by trainees, postgraduate students and doctoral students.

The chief resident had gone to watch over Fang Lin today, leaving only a trainee to keep an eye on the house.

“Okay.” The trainee on duty was a dark-skinned man in his late thirties who looked easy-going and steady.

After accepting the teta.n.u.s toxoid, he suddenly smiled and said, “Brother Yun, I’ve heard legends about you when I first came to the hospital. If I was half as good as you, I would have left the hospital in my hometown a long time ago.”

“Which idiot with his big mouth…” Su Yun stayed indifferent and arrogant, as always.

“Yesterday, I even heard them say that you’ve found yourself a new boss, which makes me curious. Is there someone superior to you?” A bright smile formed on his honest face. “That person must really be awesome.”

Su Yun, who was in a bad mood, pretended to hear nothing and strode out of the room.

The middle-aged man was not displeased at all. What could he possibly say about a wunderkind with superb talent, anyway?

“Old Han, why are you giggling?” asked a nurse on duty as she returned to the treatment room with a bottle in her hand.

Everyone’s mood was gloomy due to Fang Lin’s injury.

“Nothing.” Old Han entered the room and obtained a 1mL syringe for a teta.n.u.s toxoid skin test.

The nurse was surprised. “Huh? What are you doing?”

“I’m going to perform a teta.n.u.s toxoid skin test on Boss Zheng,” answered Old Han.

“Put it down, and allow me.” The young nurse quickly discarded her infusion drip needle and s.n.a.t.c.hed the 1mL syringe from Old Han’s hand, squeezing him aside at the same time.

“…” Old Han was puzzled. He was just trying to help, but why did the nurse look like she had a blood feud with him?

“Just do your job well,” said the young nurse, who then walked out of the room after putting iodophor, cotton swabs and the syringe into a kidney dish.

Upon reaching the on-call room, the nurse stood outside and took a few deep breaths before gently knocking on the door.

Knocking at the door of the on-call room, especially softly, felt so strange.

This decorum was never present when patients’ conditions deteriorated during night s.h.i.+fts. Instead, they normally flung the door open and summoned frontliners harshly and rudely.

Zheng Ren’s voice came from within. “Please, come in.”
