Translator: Lonelytree

Even though it was Chinese Valentine’s, it was not a public holiday so hospitals were open for business Nan Xiang City’s Third People Hospital saw a large crowd in the eency roo hall and the buzzer kept ringing There was a superstition at s like ‘things look quite quiet today’ or else things would quickly go south In fact, an experiroups were isolated with normal workflow One of them spoke the taboo and the other did not The result showed that the forardless, tonight at the Third People Hospital, everyone was busy regardless of the taboo or not The bustle was especially heavy at the paediatrician clinic The doctors and nurses there had worked from afternoon until dawn

“We’ll keep hi him this shot” Liu Guolin, one of thea seven-year-old boy with fever To be honest, he was against adree was not that high and the boy did not suffer from The optimum treatment should be an ice pack and lots of water Normally, a few days of rest would return the boy back to normal If that did not work, only then would he apply the shot The shot was not an ambrosia, it had many side effects In fact, it had caused cases of fatality before Even though the dosage would be heavily controlled, est a shot in this situation But the boy’s parents were particularly insistent on the shot They wanted the i relationshi+p between doctor and patient, Liu Guolin eventually caved in and obliged

“Aiz” Once the parents led their boy out of his roohed, “Such parents” Doctors like him often had such complaints in private Certain patients and their families were too opinionated, they’d rather put faith in web medical advice than to place trust in actual doctors In fact, some of them treated hospital doctors with open hostility

In today’s age, being a doctor, especially at a Chinese hospital was incredibly complicated Other than to cure patients, they had to deal with bureaucracy from both the pharmaceutical coave a prescription, they had to consider whether to prescribe iht have the same component, the imported medicine would cost 100 RMB but the local counterpart 30 RMB If they prescribed the latter, the hospital would lose income and the doctors would lose bonus Their superiors would complain and their days at the department would be hard

Other than that, the doctors had to consider the consequence If so bad happened, the patient’s family would blame the doctor Accusations like ‘why did you not prescribe the imported medicine’, and ‘is it because you took a cut from local medicine pharma’ was far too common However, it was also these patients who coh cost of medication At the end of the day, it was always the doctors ere blamed

This was particularly true in paediatrician clinics Children normally could not express clearly their symptoms and every parent held their children like treasure When a child started to wail, not many parents could keep their cool and their only vent at the hospital was the staff…

Liu Guolin worked at the hospital for five years already At the start, he’d try to reason and explain to the parents but now, he’d just go along with their request… he kneas being acclimated into the people he detested the most but sometimes there was no other solution… He was not Gu Jun, not a Phecda member He was just a common doctor He had his own back to watch Ever since the slap he received froitated mother, Liu Guolin just wanted to keep a low profile…

Tonight, he worked the day shi+ft His shi+ft would end at ht and he did not want anymore trouble until then Liu Guolin just removed his mask and took up his thermos for a drink when the next patient rushed in A couple around 30 carried a girl around 5 years old into the ereet Doctor Liu” The irl said politely, “Good evening, doctor”

“Very good, good evening” Liu Guolin studied the girl’s irl was 6 and she did not suffer froirl did not show any symptoms like fever, stomach ache and so on The patient looked perfectly nor a fuss Liu Guolin thus asked the parents, as the problem

Theis wrong withup heris whenever I lay her down to bed, she would e noise… I can’t replicate it but it is just awful…”

“We were so frightened” The father added nervously “The sound could not bewith our daughter?”

“Okay” Liu Guolin nodded He shone a light into the girl’s eyes and inspected her throat and , there was no inflaht just fine, everything was perfectly nornosis, this was yet another case of the parents being overly worried The child was fine, she probably just was going through a phase But that worried her parents so ency room was necessary Of course, he would not say that out loud but continued his examination TheIt becae sound only once so far

“Little girl, youryour eyes constantly What’s wrong, do you feel uncoirl He kept his voice gentle and kind to not spook the girl

“Erirl shook her head shyly “No, I just feel like blinking”

“Then, do you feel like blinking now?” Lui Guolin asked with a smile They had been in his rooirl did not blink that often

“No” The girl answered
