Zhang Anmin's lips twitched, but he tried not to laugh out loud. He stood up and said, ”I'll go to check on the patient and prepare him for the surgery.”

”Oh, I'm heading to the consultation room too,” said Doctor Zhou, but he did not move. Instead, he turned to look at Ling Ran and said, ”Don't you have any surgery to do, Doctor Ling? Do you want to take a walk in the treatment room?”

”I want to do some tissue incision,” Ling Ran said earnestly. He wanted to try out his skill in Perfect Level Tissue Separation.

”That's wild,” Doctor Zhou supported his face with his hands. He pondered seriously for a few seconds before he said, ”You didn't mention it in advance, otherwise, I would have gotten you an appendectomy or something…”

Ling Ran did not utter a word. Yun Hua Hospital really had to run into appendicitis cases because it generally had none.

Doctor Zhou peeped at Ling Ran and noticed that he was calm. He could not help but smile. ”Look at me. We're sitting here and just letting our imaginations run wild. You don't have anything to do, anyway. Let's go downstairs and have a look. Regardless of whether you want to do some tissue incision or not, if you want to do it, carry on.”

Ling Ran really liked Doctor Zhou's style. He was not competitive over surgeries; he would even hand them over.

Ling Ran looked at the clock on the wall and nodded before he said, ”Well, I'll go down and have a look, then.”

”Great! After you,” Doctor Zhou was as happy as a waiter who got to serve a significant customer.

Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center's treatment room was always full of people. Anyone who looked over would see that doctors, patients, and family members had almost filled every gap. Most of them had sad, anxious, or worried expressions on their faces. If there was a pot of devil's ivy in the corner, it could at least make people feel happy for a while as they stared at it.

”Doctor Zhou.” A resident doctor noticed them. He rushed over and said, ”I was just going to call you. There's a patient with abdominal pain. We took a scan…”

”Let me take a look first,” Doctor Zhou was calm, and he gave off an expression that said he will deal with whatever that appeared later. Then, he went up and gave the patient a physical examination. He asked kindly, ”Old man, how many days have you been constipated?”

”About three to four days.”

”We're not counting the times where you were able to poop only a little.” Doctor Zhou made a gesture with his little thumb.

The old man looked to the left and right. He was a little embarrassed. ”In that case, it's been about a week.”

”How long do you mean by about a week? We're not counting the times where you were able to poop only a little, yeah?”

The old man lowered his head and whispered, ”Twenty-one days.”

”Alright. It's okay, this is normal for us. You don't have to be embarrassed,” Doctor Zhou reassured him before he got up and said to the patient's family, ”I'll transfer you to the General Surgery Department. They are more professional in this regard…”

The patient's family members listened and were very speechless. ”Just now, when you asked how long his constipation lasted, he said three or four days. Doctor, can't we deal with it in the Emergency Department?”

”Our facilities here aren't as good as those of the General Surgery Department. Moreover, the fee for hospital beds in the Emergency Department cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. You have to pay for it yourself. It's better to go to the General Surgery Department to have a formal admission,” Doctor Zhou casually persuaded the family, and he managed to easily get the family to agree to it.

The resident doctor by the side also breathed a sigh of relief. While they could dig out poop, they could not do it well, besides, they did not actually want to do it as well.

Ling Ran had already turned around and walked to another direction when he heard that it was constipation.

Although it was still a type of surgery, he had minimal interest in surgeries where poop would fly everywhere.

As they were walking, a figure moving as quickly as a cheetah and also had the figure of a cheetah moved past him before she suddenly stopped.

At this time, Yu Yuan's voice was heard from below him. ”Has the constipated patient left?”

Ling Ran looked down at Yu Yuan and replied, ”He just left.”

”Oh…” Yu Yuan's tone was filled with thick disappointment.
