Great Doctor Ling Ran

Chapter 982: Romantic

At night, Yun Hua Hospital shone with a fearsome red light.

The white walls, green plants, and yellow street lights were like a secret forest, and no one knew what sort of unknown fierce monsters and dangerous traps were hidden inside.

The emergency medical center was the brightest place in Yun Hua Hospital at night. Every window in the independent, small building was fully lit. The word “emergency” was carved into a plate placed outside the building, and it also had a huge string of lights hung over it. That made every passerby shudder when they saw it as if there was a natural pressure coming from it. Even if they pretended not to see it, they would unknowingly remember the location of the emergency room and hope that they would never need to use such information.

Right then, a couple looked at the word on the plate with great agitation on their faces.

“Here we are.” A girl with a ponytail pedaled hard on her bike and comforted the boy in the back seat.

“Kay…” the boy said solemnly. “Don’t tire yourself. Let’s take a cab.”

“Hey, you’ve been saying the same thing over and over again all along the way. I’m really okay.” The girl pretended to be strong. She raised one hand and clenched her fist to show her muscles.

“Be careful.” The boy groaned weakly. He had to stretch out one of his legs to support the rickety bike. At the same time, he bared his teeth in advance in case he felt pain.

The girl instantly became flustered, and she said, “It’s okay, I’m supporting it.”

“I know.” The boy broke out in a sweat because of the pain, and he said, “Really, let’s take a cab.”

“I can do it,” the girl insisted and started cycling again.

The boy, who was sitting on the backseat of the bicycle, watched a cab pass by. His entire body desired it, especially the body part that was currently hurting.

“Doctor! Doctor!” The girl carried the boy to the reception door, and it was only then that they were discovered by the nurse inside.

“What’s the matter?” The nurse came forward and asked.

The girl looked at the nurse pitifully and said, “He was trying to protect me from…”

The boy whispered, “I fell down the stairs. Now, I have chest pain.”

“Please have a seat first. Wheelchair, please…” The moment the nurse heard the word “chest pain”, she became very sensitive to the situation. She immediately waved and called a free houseman over.

They were currently busy, and it was hard for resident doctors to spare time for this patient.

Simultaneously, a nurse who had come over from the Department of Surgery to provide assistance pushed a wheelchair over and helped the boy on it.

The boy sat in the wheelchair, which did not dig into his butt and leaned against it slowly. He could not help but breathe a long, comfortable sigh. “Finally…”

The nurse asked strangely, “How did you get to the hospital?”

“I sent him here by bicycle.” There was faint pride on the girl’s face along with a trace of shyness.

The nurse was very surprised to hear it. She looked at the boy, who was not thin. She felt impressed as she asked, “How far did you cycle?”

“About two miles.” The girl rubbed her aching thigh with her aching arm and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect to hold on this long.”

“Why didn’t you take a cab?” asked the nurse.

The boy looked at the girl.

The girl’s expression was a mixture of embarrassment and pride. “We usually ride bicycles. Besides, the nearest accessible transportation when it happened was the bicycle. I often run, and I was confident that I could give him a ride, right…?”

The girl looked at the boy after she finished talking.

The boy bore with the pain as he smiled at her. “You’re amazing.”

The girl swayed her ponytail with joy. “I find myself amazing too.”

The nurse was also impressed by the girl with the ponytail. She then praised her, “I also think you’re amazing. Some people only know how to call for a cab when they get injured. You were still able to send your boyfriend here without calling one. It’s really rare…”

“I’m not really that amazing. At that time, I was ready to call a cab in case I couldn’t get the bicycle moving. But I never thought I would last the whole journey until we reached the hospital.”

“You were ready to call a cab in case you couldn’t carry him?” The nurse frowned. “Were there any cabs on the way?”

“Of course. I cycled along Binjiang Road. How could there be no cabs on the road? We even met an illegal cab, and the owner foolishly asked us where we were going.” The girl smiled.

The nurse glanced at the pale boy.

The boy forced himself to smile. “It’s already fortunate that we’re here.”

“I’ll take the patient inside. Family member, please head over to pay the fee.” The nurse pushed the boy to the treatment room as she spoke. After pushing the wheelchair a little, she asked, “Are you facing any problems? Do you want me to call someone?”

“No.” The boy quickly shook his head and bared his teeth subconsciously before he firmly said, “She… likes romance…”

‘Riding a bicycle while carrying her boyfriend and going on an arduous journey for two miles is indeed romantic,’ the nurse thought, and she instantly found that the suffering the boy went through was nothing.

“I saw Doctor Ling at the reception hall. We’re students of Yun Hua University School of Medicine. Can you request for our senior to be our doctor?” The girl came back in a hurry after she came back.

“We should let the other doctors see how he is first. If it’s necessary, they’ll look for Doctor Ling,” the nurse answered.

“But… his chest is causing him so much pain…” The girl’s expression was sullen.

The young nurse recalled the fact that the girl gave her boyfriend a ride for about two miles on a bicycle, and she frankly said, “How about this? I’ll take you to the rescue area first, and I’ll ask around for you.”

The girl did not doubt her. She patiently gave her boyfriend a few reminders for two minutes before she followed the young nurse to the rescue area.

Due to the large number of injured patients caused by the boiler explosion, the Emergency Medical Center’s rescue area had been expanded to twice its original size to accommodate the number of patients they had to receive.

When the nurse took the girl to the part that was “invaded” by the rescue area, she saw that the ground already had bloodstains, which the staff did not have time to clean. As she walked a little further into the area, she saw a patient whose arm was obviously dislocated.

“Wait…” The girl stopped. “I… don’t think I need to go in.”

The nurse nodded. Her plan went well. “Okay, wait a moment. In truth, a doctor’s already checked your boyfriend earlier. He probably just has a broken rib.”

“Just?” The girl repeated that word before she looked up and saw the scene in the rescue room. Suddenly, she felt that what the nurse said was not wrong.

……

Ling Ran only entered the emergency room at midnight.

At this point in time, all the doctors who could return already did, and the first batch of doctors who came back was exhausted.

For hospitals like Yun Hua Hospital, doctors would be performing surgeries at full capacity for the whole day. The junior doctors who were required to be on duty at night were generally young and could only provide support to the best of their abilities, but they were also tired. As for chief physicians and associate chief physicians who were forty to fifty years old, they were forced to conduct surgeries at least once at dawn. They were already at their limit once they persevered until the second half of the night.

Ling Ran was slightly exhausted, but after he drank a bottle of Energy Serum, he became the most energetic one in the hospital.

“Is this an atrial septal defect?” With the report in his hand, Ling Ran walked lightly toward Doctor Zhou.

Doctor Zhou, who just came out of a room in the ward, yawned. He hummed, then looked at Ling Ran strangely. “You run really fast.”

“How’s the situation?” Ling Ran felt that he did not need to explain that he had set the electronic medical record system to remind him if any medical cases with atrial septal defect appeared.

Truth be told, this was just a casual remark from Doctor Zhou. He yawned sleepily again and said, “The patient is a blue-collar worker. He suddenly felt sick while he was sleeping, and his family sent him to the Emergency Department. When we found that his BP was 180/110, I performed an examination on him.”

When Doctor Zhou said that, he paused for a moment and said, “Now that I’ve given him some medication, his blood pressure has dropped below a hundred and sixty. I was going to transfer him to the Cardiology Department in the morning…”

Although the patient needed urgent treatment, it was okay for the patient to go through elective surgery after his blood pressure was controlled. There was no need to call for a doctor from the Cardiology Department at night.

Ling Ran took out his iPad, looked through the medical case carefully, and said, “You don’t have to transfer the patient to the Cardiology Department, I’ll do it.”

“You…” Doctor Zhou looked at Ling Ran, and he had a strong urge to say something. Finally, he was able to suppress his urge. He just said to himself, ‘My grandfather lived until he was ninety-three years old because he minded his own business.’
