11 First countryside doctor visi (1/2)
When Zhang Fan went back to work after his lunch break, he prepared disinfectants before heading over to change Bayin's medicine. When he went into the patient's room, he saw that Bayin's uncle, Superintendent Batu, was also present.
”Hello, Superintendent.” Zhang Fan didn't say anything else as he placed his items by Bayin's feet.
”I'm simply here to watch. Feel free to change his medicine, don't mind me.” Batu was worried that his presence would be a distraction for Zhang Fan.
”Sure. Bayin, I'm going to change your medicine now. Your injury might scab over. It could hurt, so please hold on.”
The superintendent's presence wouldn't affect Zhang Fan in any way. Ever since obtaining his System, Zhang Fan's medical techniques had become highly standardized due to all the training he did with his System. Providing a sterile environment for the patient was one of the most basic fundamentals of surgery that he had already mastered in the System.
”Alright, Doctor Zhang, please go easy on me. I'm afraid of pain.” Bayin was now afraid whenever he saw a doctor or nurse.
”Doctor Zhang should go harder on him. Otherwise, my son won't learn from this lesson.” Although Bayin's mother was saying this, her expression made it clear to Zhang Fan that she didn't actually want Zhang Fan to do what she said.
”Relax, it'll be alright.”
The injury's recovery was going well. There was no swollenness or pain. Zhang Fan lightly pressed on the injury and saw no fluid coming out. He then began disinfecting and bandaging. After he finished the bandaging, he looked up, only to see that Bayin was sweating all over.
”Does it hurt?” Zhang Fan inquired.
”It's fine. He needs to exercise more. He can't tolerate any pain despite being a man,” Superintendent Batu commented about his nephew before speaking to Zhang Fan again. ”It looks like the injury's recovering nicely, right? One of the biggest dangers with orthopedic surgery is getting infected after the surgery. Previously, with Nuar's and the others' surgeries, it was quite common for patients to become infected after the surgery. Not only did I have to worry about their surgery skills, even the post-surgery infections were a headache for me to deal with.”
”Bayin should be fine,” Zhang Fan told Batu while preparing to leave and return to his own office. However, Batu stopped him.
”Are you busy this afternoon? If not, come over to my office later this afternoon.”
”Sure, I'll come over right after I finish here.”
A few minutes later in Superintendent Batu's office, Batu intentionally sat on the guest sofa together with Zhang Fan rather than sitting in his own chair. ”You must have been tired over the past few days. Please take extra good care of Bayin. Although he's about your age, he's still immature like a little brat. He's so willful, and just does whatever he wants. I hope that he can mature a little after suffering such a painful accident.”
”Rest assured, Superintendent. I shall give him my very best care.”
”Colleges in these days have greatly expanded their enrollment. In the past, it would have been impossible for even bigger city hospitals to be able to hire college students, not to mention a city hospital that's as small as ours. Although the other fresh college graduates can't compare to you, their overall level is still alright.
”Recently, our autonomous region held some promotional exams, and several more recent graduates were accepted at our city hospital. Our hospital dormitory isn't large enough to give everyone a room, so we rented a large house with a nice environment from the Kuake City Communist Party Committee. I had the administrative director give you a private room. You won't have a roommate. This will make it easier for you to self-study with nobody bothering you.”
”Superintendent, I'm quite satisfied with the current place I'm living in. Won't it seem improper for only me to have a single room without a roommate?”
”No worries. Just rest assured and take that room. I've already made all the arrangements. It's perfect that tomorrow is the weekend. I'll have Director Wang use an ambulance to help you move. These two cartons are my moving gift to you.” Batu tossed two cartons of Red Snow Lotus cigarettes over to Zhang Fan.
”Thank you, Superintendent.” Zhang Fan accepted without any more polite refusals.
Although this was a house that the hospital rented for its employees, Superintendent Batu had given a single room to Zhang Fan. This was a way of thanking him. As the hospital superintendent, he didn't need to go out of his way of thanking a specific doctor, but he would remember Zhang Fan whenever there was something good that a doctor could have.
Recently, Zhang Fan had been performing many surgeries. Since the snowfall sealed off the mountain paths and it became impossible to leave KuakeCity, the residents could only choose to treat their problems at Kuake City Hospital instead of going over to a bigger city nearby. If only the snowfall would seal off the city for an entire year, Zhang Fan would probably be able to graduate from his traumatic injury surgery studies within that time.
Right when Zhang Fan returned to his own office, the superintendent summoned him back again.
”A child was injured by a horse in S Village. His collarbone was fractured, and he also has a pneumothorax (collapsed lung). His situation is rather bad. It's not possible to travel to Kuake City from S Village by car. They called the Bureau of Public Health, so the Bureau of Public Health reported it to the Kuake City Communist Party Committee. Our City Committee ordered our hospital to send a doctor over to S Village. You're the best orthopedic surgeon in our hospital. It will take two hours to reach S Village by horse. Will that be alright?” Batu's expression was quite serious. It seemed that the Kuake City Communist Party Committee felt that this incident was rather important.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
