Personal matters

Wang Quan's recent state is relatively bad.

No matter whether it's normal work or night rest, they can't leave. They have to wait for Director Liu's operation at night.Suddenly, it seems that I have returned to the days when I was a resident doctor, those hard days and nights, and I only rely on the phone to communicate with my family.

It was okay for the first few days, Wang Quan was barely able to hold on thanks to his youthful vigor, but as time went on, it gradually became unbearable.Especially when it was her menstrual period these days, the amount of bleeding was very heavy, and she was dizzy after standing for a long time during the ward rounds during the day, not to mention the hours of high-intensity work at night.

Of course, no one forced her to work overtime, all of this was voluntary.She couldn't refuse any request from Liu Qitong, no matter whether he had a straight face or a soft voice, it was all effective for Wang Quan.

She knew that Liu Qitong was really in trouble this time.Although he didn't say anything, Wang Quan knew very well in his heart that Director Guo's various actions were clearly aimed at Liu Qitong.

The death of the 2-bed patient had nothing to do with Liu Qitong in the final analysis.The bed doctor involved was simply criticized by Guo Huaixiu, but Liu Qitong was severely punished. Not only was he humiliated in front of everyone, but he was also deprived of some things.

Wang Quan knew that he was so angry that he couldn't express it. She felt sorry for him and felt powerless.The only thing she can do now is to help Liu Qitong persevere in the operating room.

Liu Qitong has always been her superior, her mentor and spiritual sustenance—but now, he needs her.

At this time, no one except Wang Quan would be willing to give him a hand, so no matter how hard it was, she had to grit her teeth and persevere.

However, Liu Qitong himself was not much better.With a sallow face all day long, it looks like a typical textbook for lack of sleep.

The 8:5 am to [-]:[-] pm outpatient clinic is the official working time, and in fact it never ends.The waiting room was filled with patients pouring in from all over the world, and even the number limit would not work.It was often late at night after surgery. Liu Qitong found an empty bed in the duty room and fell asleep straight away. Once he opened his eyes, it was another day.

Fortunately, there are still people who still take care of his three meals a day, and there is always a box lunch waiting for him on the desk when it's time to order. Liu Qitong doesn't ask how he got it, he just picks it up and eats it.The man was very thoughtful, and often ordered some of his favorite side dishes. Although it was just a small matter, it was like the sunshine in the cold winter, warming the heart.

Thinking about this kind of thing, only Wang Quan can do it, Liu Qitong couldn't help but look at her differently.It seems that this girl is quite good at taking care of people.

......................................................

That afternoon, Liu Qitong suddenly received a call from the cadre ward in the outpatient clinic.

"Hello, Director Liu?... Come here quickly, I have an emergency consultation here." Director He called for an urgent consultation, but his voice did not sound too urgent.

Liu Qitong knew that the cadre building often had some moths, so he didn't take it seriously, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, it's so urgent... I'm here for outpatient clinics, why don't you call in the ward to have a look?"

"Oh, Director Liu, I want to see you without calling your name." Director He was a little anxious this time, "Come here quickly, Director Jiang is waiting here."

Liu Qitong thought for a while, "Okay, I'll come right over."

He hung up the phone and told the nurses to inform those patients who were still waiting in line that they had an emergency consultation, and hurried there.

When I arrived at the cadre ward, I saw, well, the entire fifth floor is in a state of combat readiness—all the directors of major departments such as the Cardiovascular Department and the Nephrology Department are here. With Dean Jiang as the core, everyone stands in a fan shape. Surrounding a patient on the middle bed like stars holding the moon.

Director He's sharp eyes saw Liu Qitong coming, so he quickly pulled him over, and whispered in his ear, "He's not young, take it easy."

Liu Qitong nodded, went in and stood aside quietly.Dean Jiang was overjoyed when he saw him, and hurriedly introduced him, "This is Director Liu Qitong, a famous specialist in brain surgery in our hospital... Director Liu, come quickly, come here, I'm waiting for you!"

Liu Qitong moved, and just as he was about to go, the big man on the bed suddenly said, "I heard that the director of brain surgery is not Professor Guo Huaixiu? ... and Professor Lin Changmin, why didn't they come?"

"The two of them went to Beijing for a meeting, and they won't be back until the end of the month. It's a coincidence." Dean Jiang smiled awkwardly, "But it doesn't matter. Director Liu is also a very good doctor. He..."

"Where is that expert from the United States?" The big man asked again, "I heard that he is the son of Professor Lin Changmin?...Why didn't he come?"

Everyone looked at each other and peeked at Liu Qitong.

Liu Qitong was suppressing his anger at the moment, his heart was already in turmoil, but his face remained peaceful, making it impossible to see his anger or joy.

"This..." Dean Jiang is also in a dilemma. In fact, he has already called Lin Zhen before calling Liu Qitong, but the other party is still undergoing surgery and cannot get out. "Director Lin was performing surgery just now, do you want to ask again?"

He signaled Director He to call with his eyes, and the latter went knowingly.After a while, Director He ran back with a happy face, saying that Director Lin had just undergone surgery and would come right away after receiving the emergency consultation.

Dean Jiang finally let go of his heart, and chatted with the person on the bed with a smile on his face.

Lin Zhen arrived about 5 minutes later.

Because it was an emergency consultation and I missed the elevator, I hurriedly climbed 5 floors.When I got to the place, I saw that the patient was sitting on the bed, talking and laughing freely, and he couldn't help being stunned.

When Dean Jiang saw him coming, he personally pulled him over, "This is Professor Lin Zhen from the United States...Professor Lin, hurry up and do a neurological examination for Mrs. Meng?"

Lin Zhen was a little confused, "Dean Jiang, Director He, is this the emergency patient you requested?"

"That's right." Director He gently pushed him forward. "go quickly."

Lin Zhen stared at the patient for a while, then asked gently, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm comfortable everywhere." The big man couldn't help laughing, "It's just that I'm getting old, and my daughter is worried. She insists that I stay in the hospital for a few days for a physical examination... No, it's brought in."

"That's why my daughter is caring." Dean Jiang couldn't help laughing.

Lin Zhen was silent for a while, and finally stepped forward, took out the percussion hammer from his pocket, and slowly started the physical examination.

Liu Qitong stood aside, watching his every movement quietly, as if a sharp thorn was stabbing his heart.

"Mr. Meng, everything seems normal for you now." Lin Zhen put away the flashlight.

"That means I'm not sick?" the big man laughed.

"At least from the perspective of the neurology department, no abnormal signs were found." Lin Zhen said, "As for whether there are other medical diseases, we need to conduct corresponding examinations according to the situation."

Dean Jiang said with a smile, "Don't panic, don't panic, where are all the experts from different disciplines, let's take a look one by one."

As he spoke, he arranged for the cardiology department to come over for auscultation.

Lin Zhen stood aside and waited for about ten minutes, but Dean Jiang had no intention of letting him go.

He couldn't help raising his wrist to look at his watch, "Dean Jiang...excuse me, can I go back to the department?"

Dean Jiang was chatting enthusiastically with that person, when the conversation was interrupted suddenly, he felt a little unhappy.

Director He hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Director Lin, the general meeting of the hospital is not over yet, why don't you stay a little longer?"

"My patient has just stepped down, and his condition is still unstable." Lin Zhen said, "Besides, I have already checked this patient just now. From the neurosurgery point of view, everything is normal, and there is no point in consultation."

Director He was at a loss for words, and sighed in his heart: Who doesn't know this?Not to mention neurosurgery, do other specialties have consultation significance... Why are you so ungrateful?

When Dean Jiang heard that he was seriously ill, he was afraid of a medical accident, so he didn't dare to keep Lin Zhen anymore and let him go.

Liu Qitong looked at his straight back when he left, his hands in his pockets were clenched tightly, his nails digging into his flesh.

Once Lin Zhen left, it would be a joke for Liu Qitong to stay any longer.He was going to tell Dean Jiang to go back to the outpatient clinic, but before he opened his mouth, he was called by name.

"That...Director Liu Qitong, right? It seems that you are the only one who has worked hard." The big man on the bed smiled, "I have some personal matters later, so I might bother you again."
