When the Doctor Uses A Hack

“`

At 2:30 in the early morning, Chen Cang was sitting in front of the computer, holding his phone, deeply engrossed in those films that had no plot but were full of genuine, flesh-and-blood action.

Who knows how much time had passed, a video of over thirty minutes had ended, and Chen Cang had obviously been fast-forwarding through it.

After all, who would watch such content second by second? Not only is it tiring, but you wouldn’t get to see many videos that way.

Feeling slightly unfulfilled, Chen Cang stretched languidly, took a deep breath, and thought, “That was so good to watch!”

“The surgery was truly well done!”

The only downside was that high-definition versions really eat into the data allowance.

Thinking of that, Chen Cang couldn’t help but feel heartache for his data plan.

Generally speaking, there are two feelings around this time: either too sleepy and wanting to sleep or too hungry and wanting to eat something.

Chen Cang got up to stretch his legs, realizing it wasn’t good for his health to be huddled there watching videos all the time.

After moving around a bit, Chen Cang decided either to take a nap or order some takeout.

Once he stepped out, he found the two young nurses at the nurses’ station scrolling through TikTok, with familiar rhythmic sounds in the background.

Yan Ming had long since vanished to catch some sleep.

Besides, as a middle-aged man, Doctor Yan understood the importance of taking care of one’s health.

Chen Cang wanted to go back and sleep as well, but then he thought about it and felt that Yan Ming was unreliable—what if something serious happened while he was asleep?

Maybe he should eat something.

Chen Cang exited the emergency hall and stood at the entrance, basking in the night breeze unique to summer, feeling its refreshing coolness—a different sensation from the air-conditioned temperature of the operating room.

This coolness felt somewhat real.

As he recognized the emptiness in his stomach, Chen Cang wondered whether or not to order takeout.

Just as Chen Cang was indecisive, Chang Lina walked out.

“Why are you outside?”

Chen Cang was startled, “Just getting some fresh air.”

Chang Lina suddenly tempted him, “Do you feel like having some late-night snacks? Maybe some… skewers or something?”

Chang Lina’s words instantly shattered the thin veneer of willpower Chen Cang had against the lure of yummy snacks.

Though his mouth said no, his hand involuntarily reached for the phone to open the Meituan app.

At that moment, it seemed Chang Lina had prepared, opening her Meituan app and sighing, “Ah, it’s so expensive. At this hour, the minimum order starts at thirty to forty yuan, and there’s an additional five yuan delivery fee.”

Her words suddenly made Chen Cang feel that it was quite good to endure, not eating could save a decent amount of money.

With this in mind, Chen Cang smiled slightly, “Actually, eating at this time isn’t good for health, I’ll go sleep for a bit.”

Chang Lina drawled, “Ah, I was just going to send you a photo of Qin Yue, alas… I’m drained now, what should I do?”

Even the iron-willed Chen Cang suddenly turned around, “Come on, I’m hungry too, perfect timing, I’ll treat, you order.”

Chang Lina heard this, “I didn’t threaten you, you know!”

Chen Cang declared with nobility, “This is revolutionary friendship between us.”

Spending over fifty yuan, they got two servings of iron plate fried rice, seven or eight grilled gluten sticks, and a dozen assorted snacks, which was quite a feast.

However, there seems to be an eternal mystery in emergency departments: the sleepier one is, or the more one is about to enjoy a meal, the more likely it is for a special emergency case to appear!

After having his fill, Chen Cang suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of drowsiness.

Chen Cang looked at Chang Lina and cautioned, “I’ll take a nap, keep an eye out for me, and wake me up if something comes up.”

Chen Cang laid down in the emergency surgery duty room and fell asleep in less than ten minutes.

Chang Lina was an experienced nurse and sat at the front desk dealing with some miscellaneous tasks, completing the handover records that were left behind.

Around three or four o’clock, an elderly lady suddenly approached.

“Nurse, nurse!”

“`

Lina Chang turned around and saw the old woman standing there, looking somewhat anxious.

The elderly lady was admitted yesterday afternoon for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and after treatment, had greatly improved. Lina Chang thought the old woman might be feeling unwell and hastily asked,

“Old granny, what’s wrong?”

The old woman quickly said, “This, the patient in bed 13 next to me has disappeared; it’s been half an hour.”

Upon hearing this, Lina Chang’s face instantly changed, and she rushed toward the ward of bed 13 in long strides.

Lina Chang’s first reaction was to kneel down and look under the bed.

Not there!

She immediately ran to the bathroom, but when she pushed on the door, she found it blocked from the inside.

Lina Chang called out urgently, “Is Luo Guohua from bed 13 in there?”

All six patients in the room woke up.

It was a large room with only one bathroom, so when they heard Lina Chang knocking, they were all jolted awake.

When Lina Chang got no response, she carefully pushed the door with more force.

Suddenly, a man in his sixties was lying inside.

Lina Chang’s face changed!

Bed 13 was an emergency internal medicine case, and Lina Chang hurried to the office door of Yan Ming, continuously knocking!

“Doctor Yan, Doctor Yan!”

The knocking went on for over a dozen times, “Bang! Bang! Bang!” But the door did not open, and Lina Chang’s face changed again as she quickly rushed to the emergency department’s external office. She had just knocked twice when

Chen Cang quickly rolled out of bed and got up to open the door.

“What’s the matter?” Chen Cang rubbed his eyes, somewhat groggy.

Lina Chang was direct, “The patient from bed 13 has fainted in the bathroom.”

Chen Cang didn’t know the patient in bed 13 well, as the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital has a clear division between internal and external systems. Although they share a nurse station and a resuscitation room, many of the internal medicine patients are managed by physicians from the internal medicine side.

Otherwise, there would be no need to have separate duty doctors for internal and external departments.

The step taken by Li Baoshan was meant to ensure that in the event of an emergency, the departments of internal medicine and surgery could collaborate and handle various emergency situations together.

Chen Cang’s awareness of the patient’s condition was limited to a few questions asked during the earlier ward round,

and the handover notes from Zhang Shu.

That was all!

Chen Cang rushed to the ward; at that moment, the patient’s pants had fallen to his knees, and he had collapsed on the ground, his life hanging by a thread!

Chen Cang broke out in a cold sweat with fear!

Heart attack!

Defecation!

Fainting shock!

These few terms could form a horrific diagnosis, and thinking this, Chen Cang hurriedly called out to the nurse, “Help me lift the patient out first!”

Lina Chang nodded. As a seasoned emergency department warrior, she didn’t hesitate for a second and quickly lent a hand.

It took them a minute to carry the patient onto the stretcher.

Chen Cang was clear-headed, “To the resuscitation room!”

Lina Chang followed Chen Cang, and all the resting nurses were called to action, yet the on-duty doctor, Yan Ming, seemed completely oblivious.

At that moment, Chen Cang couldn’t afford to assign blame; getting to the resuscitation room to check on the patient’s condition was the priority.

The resuscitation room quickly began to prepare.
