Yang Lei, who was wearing an isolation gown, was asking the scrub nurse for oval forceps, curved discs, gauze, and iodophor for disinfection.
He froze when he heard the woman lying on the operating table.
"Yes, Auntie." Zheng Ren did not pause. He turned to scrub his hands and said as he walked, "There's no need for disinfection. I'll just use cephalosporin. Is that okay?"
"Okay," the middle-aged woman said with satisfaction.
"…" Yang Lei was stunned. The scrub nurse, who had her back to the patient and was checking the instruments, almost laughed out loud and polluted the sterile table.
The surgery went smoothly. Zheng Ren did not deliberately pursue speed, but it was still neat and tidy. Before the new scrub nurse could react, Zheng Ren had already started checking the instruments again.
It was as if the entire surgery was a series of numbers …
After getting off the operating table, Zheng Ren told Chang Yue about the patient's bizarre request.
Chang Yue understood Zheng Ren's intention and immediately called the patient's family to communicate. She understood the patient's condition and explained the situation during the surgery.
The patient's family member was her son, who did not know whether to laugh or cry after listening to Chang Yue's explanation.
He did not know where the old lady had heard about this "health" theory.
As long as it was not a special reason, Chang Yue communicated with the patient's family and signed the consent form. Then, she started giving the patient antibiotics.
Depending on the severity of the appendectomy, the patient would need antibiotics for three to seven days after the appendectomy. Zheng Ren was confident in his surgery, but he dared not let the patient recover on her own. Instead, he followed the standard procedure and prescribed antibiotics for at least three days.
That was the safest method.
Zheng Ren had been thinking about Xie Yiren. The image of her tear-stained face was a thorn in his heart and made him uncomfortable.
"Yang Lei, keep an eye on the ward. I'll go to the ICU first and then go out for a while. Call me if you need anything. "Zheng Ren quickly made up his mind and wanted to comfort Xie Yiren.
"Okay, don't worry." Although Yang Lei was invisible in front of the patient, he was still reassuring.
When Zheng Ren arrived at the ICU, Su Yun was still watching over the patient with about ten pieces of paper in his hand.
The patient's condition was relatively optimistic. Due to the timely surgery and proper postoperative management, she was no longer in critical condition, even though she was still in hemorrhagic shock.
"Are you busy at home?" Su Yun asked quietly as he looked at the numbers on the paper.
Some doctors had the habit of referring to their department as their home. Zheng Ren was surprised that Su Yun, who had been clamoring about opening a veterinary hospital, would say the same thing.
"We did an appendectomy, and the patient is very stable. He's fine now."
"There's nothing going on here." The black hair on Su Yun's forehead fluttered in the wind. "The negative effects of hemorrhagic shock have been alleviated. I think I can remove the tube tomorrow or the day after."
"That's good." Zheng Ren nodded.
Although the System was more reliable than Su Yun, who wouldn't want to hear more good news?
"Take a leave of absence to visit Xie Yiren," Su Yun suddenly said.
A chill ran down Zheng Ren's spine. He had wanted to see Little Yiren just now. How did Su Yun know?
As if a thief had been caught, Zheng Ren was a little flustered.
"Accompany her to eat something delicious. That foodie will probably feel better." Su Yun raised his head and seriously said, "She's your scrub nurse. It's only right for her to take a day off."
Zheng Ren kept telling himself in his heart that he must have been mistaken. The sarcastic sissy had only said that casually.
"Okay, I'll go take a look," Zheng Ren said casually.
He looked at Miao Xiaohua's medical report again and left after he had a basic grasp of her recovery.
Su Yun watched Zheng Ren's retreating figure with a smile on his face.
"Xiaohua, get better quickly." Su Yun whispered to Miao Xiaohua, who was lying calmly on the hospital bed, "Chief Zheng, who saved your life, is an idiot. If there's a chance in the future, please help him."
…
…
After leaving the ICU, Zheng Ren informed Miao Xiaohua's parents about her recovery before returning to the emergency department to change his clothes.
Seeing that the on-call room was empty, he took out his phone and hesitated for a few seconds before calling Chu Yanzhi.
"Chief Zheng, is there a major surgery?" Chu Yanzhi was surprised by Zheng Ren's sudden call and asked hurriedly.
"No." Zheng Ren quickly explained, "Are you by Yiren's side?"
"She's asleep. I'm playing on my phone. What's wrong?" Chu Yanzhi suddenly smiled and said, "Is it because it's hard to perform a surgery without a scrub nurse like you?"
"…" Zheng Ren was speechless. He had never been teased like this before. He was momentarily stunned and did not know how to answer.
After a few seconds of silence, suppressed laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Embarrassed, Zheng Ren quickly explained the reason for the call, asked for Xie Yiren's address, and hurriedly hung up the phone.
It was so difficult to interact with girls. Zheng Ren immediately felt troubled.
He did not do anything, but everyone seemed to know about it. Zheng Ren shook his head. When it came to surgery and saving lives, Zheng Ren was an expert. However, when it came to interacting with girls, even taking the first step, he needed to muster all his courage.
After putting on his coat, Zheng Ren hurried out of the emergency department building.
When he first came to the emergency department as chief resident, the weather was still warm.
He stayed in the ward and performed surgeries and ward rounds every day.
Although Zheng Ren did not find life boring, he could clearly feel his clothes were thin when he walked out of the inpatient department.
It was so cold. Zheng Ren looked at the sky. It was already three or four in the afternoon and the sky was getting dark. The sky was gray and the northwest wind was biting cold, like a small knife scratching his face.
It was really a touchy-feely weather with cold hands and feet.
He tightened his clothes and looked in the direction. Following the address given by Chu Yanzhi, he braved the wind and walked to Xie Yiren's house.
She said it was a five-minute walk, and it was indeed five minutes at a girl's walking speed.
Behind Sea City General Hospital was a green area with a few small lakes. Next to it was the residential area with the highest land prices in the city.
After entering the area, there were a few small villas near the lake. Zheng Ren glanced at the number on the villa and found Xie Yiren's house.
It was a three-story single-family villa with two garages. The lawn in front of the house was still blooming green in the cold winter.
He did not know what kind of grass it was, but he felt a little emotional. It was extremely rare to see a touch of green in the cold north wind.
He pressed the doorbell and Chu Yanzhi's voice came through the intercom.
He opened the door and was greeted by a ten-square-meter porch. Chu Yanzhi poked her head out from the second floor and said, "Change your shoes and come up for a while. We'll have dinner at six."
Zheng Ren had completely lost the confidence he had in the operating room. He carefully took off his shoes, afraid that he would dirty the soft and thick carpet.
"Chief Zheng asked for leave to see you."
"Hey, it's morning!
"Yiren, emergency surgery!"
