522 Home-Made Explosive (1/2)

One of the consequences of the MRSA outbreak was that the surgical volume of the hospital had drastically decreased.

Every corner of the hospital was being disinfected, and all the scheduled surgeries were being postponed whenever possible. The Emergency Department did the same.

As the Emergency Department needed to liaise with the other departments, they also postponed most of their surgeries. And just like in the other department, disinfection and cleaning efforts were being ramped up in the Emergency Department.

Huo Congjun would never allow another case of MRSA to appear in an Emergency Department that had just been upgraded to an actual Emergency Medical Center.

All the medical staff were reminded again and again of the importance of washing their hands.

Protective equipment was being distributed to everyone in the hospital.

The ventilators and the beddings were washed again and again.

The management of medical waste had become unprecedentedly strict.

The Department of Infection Control sent their best doctors to the Emergency Medical Department. Even though they went there under the euphemism of ”learning”, in reality, they were trying to prove how good they were at their job compared to those in the Emergency Medical Center.

Under their guidance, the infection control measures in the Emergency Medical Center had become even stricter. And because of this, all the doctors had been grumbling a lot.

”Now that I think about it, things were much better back when Doctor Ling was in charge of infection control.”

”I know, right. At least Doctor Ling did things in moderation without making things too difficult for us. It's not like he couldn't carry out infection control well either. Take a look at those pieces of trash from the Department of Infection Control, they're practically finding fault with everything.”

”I think that Doctor Ling did find fault with everything too, though. It wouldn't be a stretch to describe him as such.”

”Doctor Ling does that because there was a need to. As for those doctors from the Department of Infection Control… don't they look a bit too ugly?”

”Now that you mention it, they do look extremely ugly.”

”If they weren't so ugly, they would have been hired by some other department.”

The doctors of the Emergency Medical Center unscrupulously chastised the doctors from the Department of Infection Control with all the malice they could muster.

They would not really suffer any losses by criticizing the doctors from the Department of Infection Control, anyway. If they were dealing with doctors from the Medical Laboratory Department or the Medical Imaging Department, they would definitely have been a lot more polite.

Ling Ran, though, had no intention to saunter around the Emergency Medical Center.

He merely carried out infection control to fulfill his personal desires. Ling Ran could not stand it when other medical staff did not wash their hands or properly sterilize medical instruments.

Now that the Department of Infection Control was willing to interfere and carry out stricter infection control measures in the Emergency Medical Center, Ling Ran was glad to be freed of the responsibility. This way, he got to save time and energy.

Before this, Ling Ran had to request for the Department of Infection Control to send doctors over to help out. Now that two experienced doctors from the Department of Infection Control willingly came over, Ling Ran did not intend to disturb them as they carried out their tasks at all.

However, he felt pretty bored as he did not get to carry out any surgeries.

Ling Ran decided to retrieve some pellets from the waiting room. He then took a book and headed for the fountain. He sat beside the fountain and started reading as he fed the goose.

As Yu Yuan who was responsible for monitoring the goose's food intake was worried, she quietly followed Ling Ran out. She held a book with one hand and read it while she toyed with her thermometer with her other.

Fragrance Yard's face went pale when it saw the thermometer. It opened and closed its mouth a few times, and it did not dare to eat any of the pellets that fell within a three feet radius of Ling Ran.

The children were the happiest. It only took a handful of pellets for the usually fierce goose to run around like it was being hypnotized. As the children were usually ordered around by adults, they craved for this kind of power.

A few young children stood around Ling Ran.

Ling Ran gave half of the pellets to the children, and this attracted even more children as well as older girls, young women, and men and women of all ages.

Some of them had their gazes fixed on the goose, while the others were looking at Ling Ran. All of them were having a good time, and the atmosphere around the fountain was jovial. Laughter and chatters filled the space, a rare sight indeed.

Some of the senior citizens were also pushed toward the area by their children or the patient care assistants.

All of them were long-term patients and often spent their time in the corridors or the back garden of the hospital so that they could feast their eyes on the poison ivy and money plants. Ever since Fragrance Yard the large white goose came to the fountain, many of the senior citizens were even more inclined to spend their time there.

They liked to look at other people—ordinary people who were not anxious and had never been sick a day in their lives, especially children. This made those senior citizens' mood better.

Of course, they only liked to do this for a short while. They would all get annoyed after some time.

One of the playful children got a little too close to the goose. The goose glared at him, and the child got so scared that his legs went limp.

The large goose walked step by step toward the playful child, and it emanated such a scary aura that it looked like a furry dinosaur.
