System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

”It was someone from the orthopedics department who said it themselves. Of course, the operating room is also talking about it.”

”Awesome to the point of flying!~” Liang Jianhong said excitedly, as if he wasn’t tired at all.

But Liang Jianhong wasn’t actually busy last night; he was on night duty in the ward. As long as there were no emergencies with the patients in the observation ward, the rest just involved helping with some conversations and signatures.

The ward shift is generally busier than the emergency room shift, but at its most extreme, it’s just that busy.

The upper and lower limits are fairly fixed.

For the emergency room shift, the extremes are very extreme.

All the young doctors in the hospital have envisioned themselves taking off on the spot, beating the director, and shocking the dean.

But in reality, this almost never happens, so they can only look at novels and TV dramas.

What Lu Cheng did last night was only slightly similar to these fantasies but was still enough to make many people find it unbelievable.

After all, reality is not a novel. It can be strange, but not too outlandish.

Suddenly, Tian Zhiliang changed the subject: ”Looks like we don’t know Xiao Lu well enough, not deep enough, and haven’t found the right angle yet.”

Liang Jianhong knew it was time for him to leave: ”Then, Director Tian, take your time to understand; I’ll be heading back.”

”By the way, Director Tian, have you had breakfast?”

Tian Zhiliang replied, ”I’ve already eaten. Why? Are you planning to invite me for lunch?”

”Sure can!” Although Liang Jianhong felt that Tian Zhiliang was a bit quick with his words, he agreed without hesitation.

”I’ll arrange it for lunch.”

Lu Cheng said, ”No need, Brother Liang, I’ll just order something for myself at noon.”

After some small talk, Lu Cheng bid his farewell and left.

He proceeded with placing temporary medical orders for the day, discharge orders, and medication change orders.

...

After placing the medical orders, Lu Cheng ordered himself a cup of coffee, reading a book while waiting for patients to come for hospitalization.

But throughout the morning, he didn’t encounter any ”patients to be hospitalized,” but rather, he received a visit from ’Director Wu Xiang.’

Director Wu’s eyes were bloodshot, his hair disheveled, and his face greasy.

Having removed his mask, his gaze at Lu Cheng was even more complicated. Yet he stood in the emergency department doctor’s office, without saying a word.

Lu Cheng was slightly puzzled: ”Director Wu? Did you work on that surgery until now from last night?”

Wu Xiang scratched his head in response: ”After you left, someone from general surgery came. A young guy with awkward hands, while assisting, felt that a hemostatic clamp obstructed his view, so he removed it.”

”The patient nearly passed away, and we almost did too.”

”How did you manage to get into such a tricky angle?”

Wu Xiang was sharing a lot of information.

Lu Cheng didn’t even know which hemostatic clamp was removed; actually, his hemostasis relied entirely on temporary intraoperative review and couldn’t precisely locate the bleeding vessel by just following blood flow.

For a moment, Lu Cheng didn’t know how to respond: ”Director Wu, you’ve had a tough time. Do you want to sit and rest?”

Wu Xiang wasn’t young anymore, having fought nonstop since yesterday morning, he might not be able to hold on.

”I won’t sit.”

”Your Director Xiao later joined us in the operating room, but it still went till now.”

”It’s fortunate you had taken care of other bleeding points in advance; otherwise, we could have been off work earlier.” Wu Xiang’s voice was complex yet tinged with a sarcastic tone.

Lu Cheng couldn’t tell if he was being praised or scolded.

However, Wu Xiang’s point was clear: they only realized afterward how challenging it was for Lu Cheng to achieve hemostasis in the first instance.

The doctor from general surgery was indeed somewhat annoying, but Lu Cheng was quite annoying too.

If not for Lu Cheng, the patient might have passed peacefully, and there wouldn’t have been further rescues.

Because Lu Cheng stopped the other bleeding points, the patient kept losing blood but somehow persisted…

It was as if this farce was to demonstrate Lu Cheng’s awesomeness.

Of course, Wu Xiang also knew this couldn’t have been Lu Cheng deliberately putting on a show.

”Director Wu, why don’t you go back and rest?” Lu Cheng suggested.

Wu Xiang nodded: ”I should go back to rest, but I also talked to Director Xiao, and he said he’d soon be leaving.”

”If you’re willing, you can follow me afterward.”

”My relationship with Director Xiao is one you can be entirely assured of!”

”If you don’t believe it, you can ask Director Xiao directly. He has told me everything about you guys.”

”I could call you, but coming in person feels more sincere.”

Lu Cheng was about to reply when Wu Xiang added: ”Don’t hastily refuse. I came to you knowing you prefer the emergency department more.”

”No problem; our orthopedics department plans to establish a trauma center in the emergency department. You could still stay in the emergency department.”

”Take some time to think about it carefully; there’s no rush to reply.”

Wu Xiang left swiftly, without any hesitation.

Lu Cheng felt that Wu Xiang was somewhat inexplicable, not taking Wu Xiang’s words to heart.

No matter whether orthopedics sets up a trauma center or not, it doesn’t seem to affect him much.

Lu Cheng refreshed the computer screen again; there were still no patients to be hospitalized. He yawned and made a call to Director Tian to confirm if he wanted to order food too. Then Lu Cheng opened WeChat and asked a boss who makes claypot rice to deliver two servings over.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng checked the ’medical orders’ of that patient from last night once more!

Although medical orders are not rescue or surgical records, they can ’showcase’ a lot of things.

After midnight, there were over 200 more orders.

And the initiator of all this was that rookie from the general surgery department. But these things would certainly not be told to the patient and their family.

Problems need to be solved when they arise. Lack of experience is a common issue for all newcomers; we can’t sentence him to death for a moment of negligence.

He truly didn’t anticipate a small hemostatic clamp would cause so much trouble.

After reading, Lu Cheng felt quite amused.

He really didn’t want to prove his skills this way in front of other colleagues.

But regardless, at least his name would be firmly remembered by a few people, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
