Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center was busy until ten o 'clock at night before it gradually quietened down.
At this time, the patients who had nothing to do had basically disappeared, and the patients with minor injuries and pains were too lazy to come to the hospital, causing the number of patients to decrease greatly.
Aside from the Pediatrics Department and Obstetrics Department, the other departments also basically relaxed. The housemen and young residents took the opportunity to fill up medical records, the attending physicians hid in a corner to catch up on sleep, and the nurses switched from chatting to quietly scrolling through their phones. Scrolling through their phones was more enjoyable.
Zuo Cidian was embarrassed to scroll through TikTok in front of Ling Ran and a group of young people, so he found a devil's ivy and played with it out of boredom.
At ten o 'clock at night, the devil's ivy also looked sleepy. The curled leaves did not stand up even after he fiddled with them for a long time.
Zuo Cidian deliberately plucked a dark green devil's ivy leaf. Compared to the tender shoots beside it, the dark green devil's ivy leaf looked like it had put on heavy makeup. It was greener, but it was too green. It looked like a middle-aged man who loved to go to the disco. His skills might be better, but no one cared.
"It's not easy for you either." Zuo Cidian relaxed his fingers, and the devil's ivy leaf bounced back.
The old devil's ivy leaf trembled a few times before it stopped, and it looked like it had lost all its elasticity.
"What are you thinking about?" Nurse Niu was on duty that night. She stared at Zuo Cidian's old eye bags for a while and teased, "Did I remember wrongly or something? I feel like your eye bags are getting heavier."
"I can tell." Zuo Cidian sighed and said, "I'm on duty every week. It was okay at first, but now I'm getting more and more tired."
"You can talk to Doctor Ling. He has a lot of manpower now, and he might be able to cut down your queue by a few days." Nurse Niu made small talk. She was about the same age as Zuo Cidian, and she could no longer chat with the young nurses. There were not many doctors she could chat with either.
Zuo Cidian drank a mouthful of hot water, shook his head, and said, "I can't cut down my queue. If I cut down my queue, the others will have to do more. How can I do that?"
He was still a resident doctor, and he had to carry out the duties of a resident doctor. Zuo Cidian, who had been working at the grassroots level for many years, did not have the confidence that he was special. It was not the hospital or anyone else's fault that he was old and tired. It was his nature.
Nurse Niu was actually just saying it casually, so she smiled and said, "Doctors like you have it better. At least you have something to look forward to. As for us nurses, unless we're head nurses, we have to take night shifts when we're supposed to. We can't escape even for a day."
"You can also marry a good husband."
"That's true." Nurse Niu pursed her lips as she spoke. "If my husband was the president of the bank, I wouldn't work the night shift."
The husband of the bank president was a hot topic among the nurses in Yun Hua Hospital. Since her husband had been promoted to the president, a nurse in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department immediately said goodbye to her bitter night shift life. She only worked the day shift and did not have to work at all. Reality was infuriating.
Zuo Cidian could only smile. Doctors and nurses were different in this regard. Even if his wife was the president of the bank and could decide the hospital loans of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan a year, he still had to be on duty. Of course, the premise was that he still had a wife.
"Doctor Zuo, a patient is here." A nurse came over to inform him.
Zuo Cidian immediately said, "I'll go call Doctor Ling."
Nurse Niu snorted. "Just call the third-string doctor."
"Doctor Ling said to look for him if there's a patient. He wants to see a few more patients today." Zuo Cidian's tone was respectful, even though Ling Ran was not in front of him.
Nurse Niu felt like laughing when she saw this. "Do you really take what he says so seriously? Maybe Doctor Ling is just being polite."
Zuo Cidian smiled. "You've met Doctor Ling, right?"
Nurse Niu laughed.
"Alright, I'll go and inform him immediately." Zuo Cidian waved his hand and left.
At this moment, the young nurse who came to inform Zuo Cidian was annoyed. She quickly followed him and said, "I'll go. Doctor Zuo, you should rest well."
"No, no. How can you ask a senior doctor to work while a junior doctor rests?" Zuo Cidian ran very quickly, and his expression was very clear. 'I'm not snatching the chance for you to please me. I'm just a simple old bootlicker.'
After a while, Ling Ran came out of the waiting room.
"Have Han Yu and the others left?" Ling Ran looked around and asked again.
"Even if they're gone, we can't let them stay in the treatment room forever." Nurse Niu smiled and advised, "Doctor Ling, you should rest more. There's no need for you to come out and treat such minor illnesses."
"I've taken some time today to sleep enough." Ling Ran did sleep for two hours today, and with the effects of the Energy Serum, he could not fall asleep at all.
Nurse Niu thought that he had slept for a long time, so she did not say much and followed Ling Ran to help.
Zuo Cidian also quickly came out to serve him.
The patient who came to see the doctor was an unlucky man who fell at night. He took a taxi and covered his forehead with his hand, which was a little dirty.
At this moment, he raised his head and saw Ling Ran, Zuo Cidian, and Nurse Niu. He could not help but be stunned and asked, "How bad is my injury?"
Ling Ran asked him to remove his hand. As he cleaned it, he said, "It's a wound that's six inches long. Just suture it."
"Six inches, I think …" The patient gestured with his hand and said a little fearfully, "I thought it was seven or eight inches at most."
Nurse Niu could not help but laugh. "Then, you should have discussed it with Stone before you fell."
"It's a staircase," the patient said and laughed. Then, he groaned in pain.
Ling Ran sutured his wound properly. He still used the heavy reinforcing suture and intradermal suture techniques. If he paid attention to the healing process, it would not leave a deep scar.
In a few minutes, Ling Ran was done suturing the wound. Then, he let Zuo Cidian do the bandaging, prescribing medication, and injections. Ling Ran got up and walked around the treatment room.
The progress of the Relieve Pain mission had just reached 11/300. Seeing that it was still far from completion, Ling Ran was no longer in a hurry.
In fact, from another perspective, completing one-thirtieth of the mission in one day was not slow at all. The items that could be obtained from Intermediate Treasure Chests were quite practical. It might even be a Perfect Level minor skill or a Master Level major skill. Compared to ordinary doctors who had to put in a lot of effort to practice, it was much faster.
Moreover, if the completion of the mission was looked at in the future, the suturing that would "relieve pain" would not be much different from "cholecystectomy", which would only require three to five days to be discharged from the hospital.
As Ling Ran thought about it, he did not pursue the type of emergency treatment. He stayed in the Emergency Department for the whole night and did not refuse any patients. He alone took care of almost one-third of the patients, and it greatly relieved the pressure in the emergency room.
Nowadays, the emergency rooms in tertiary Grade A hospitals were almost not fully staffed at night. With Ling Ran around, even the junior housemen were happy to do it.
After all, normal people needed to sleep.
Ling Ran even enjoyed the emergency room at night. There were patients, no one was fighting for them, and the surroundings were quiet. It could not be more comfortable.
Ling Ran worked until it was past four in the morning. He only stopped after seeing more than twenty patients.
There were no more patients in the treatment room.
"I can finally rest." Zuo Cidian sighed and slumped on the chair. He did not even want to get up.
Doctors who were younger than him, such as Doctor Zhou and even the senior resident doctor Zheng Pei, were all fast asleep. Only Zuo Cidian, who was forty-two years old, was still a junior resident doctor, and it was difficult for him to find an assistant.
"Alright, go to sleep. If there are more patients, I'll hand them over to someone else." Ling Ran moved his body and decided to take a shower. Then, he went out of the hospital to look for drugs. The effects of the Energy Serum had not worn off yet, so he could not sleep.
Zuo Cidian wanted to persevere for a while, but his body was not strong enough. He could only agree quietly and go back to the waiting room to catch up on sleep.
Ling Ran tidied up and strolled in the alleys outside Yun Hua Hospital.
Similar to Lower Groove, there were also alleys that looked like commercial streets around Yun Hua Hospital. There were small supermarkets, small restaurants, and snack bars that opened at five in the morning.
Ling Ran found a shop that looked clean and sat down. He ordered tofu pudding and youtiao and ate slowly.
The tofu pudding tasted normal. It was a little sour, but it was appetizing.
The youtiao was a little thick. Its shell was a little dry, but it was crispy and fragrant when chewed.
Ling Ran took the opportunity to rest. He enjoyed it for fifteen minutes before he finished his breakfast.
He looked at his phone. It was 6: 01 in the morning.
When Ling Ran was about to put his phone away, he heard his phone vibrate.
A new message was sent over.
He opened it and saw that it was from Xiang Xueming, who went to Bazhaixiang. [The wife of the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau in my village has her left index finger severed. She is on the way to Yun Hua Hospital. Doctor Ling, please save her. I'll accompany her. Xiang Xueming.]
Ling Ran was about to go back, so he replied, [I'm going to the operating theater to make preparations. How long will it take?]
[About an hour and thirty minutes.] On the other end of the phone, Xiang Xueming, who sent the message according to the time, could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
