Chapter 885: Lunchbox
*Ding ding ding*
The wind chime hanging in the corridor of the Bazhaixiang hospital branch was hit by the wind like children who scored zero getting beaten by his parents. The sound was very rhythmic, and it had a very high pitch as well.
Then, a whole line of doctors in white coats came out of the corner of the stairs and walked down the corridor in order.
“Has Ling Ran come for his ward rounds yet?” Associate Chief Physician Deng sat at the courtyard on the ground floor as he looked at the doctors at the half-open corridor. His tone was slightly joking and was a little envious as well.
He was also the leader of his treatment group, but the number of people under him and the number of beds were different. Naturally, the way he felt was different.
The provincial hospital only allowed “young” leaders of treatment groups like Associate Chief Physician Deng could only have three to five people under them. If manpower was not enough, even if they wanted to look for housemen or interns to fill up that gap, they were still required to see whether there were enough resources for them.
As for supporting the Bazhaixiang hospital branch, Associate Chief Physician Deng only had Cai Qing available to him. When Associate Chief Physician Deng thought about how chatty Cai Qing was, he felt as if his heart was about to be broken.
In contrast, Ling Ran was surrounded by too many people.
Not only did he have his own resident doctors, but he also had a doctor in in-service training and housemen available. Plus, the new interns, at first glance, were more imposing than chief physicians.
Looking at the timid and excited interns made him especially envious.
“It’s nice to have interns.” Associate Chief Physician Deng sighed sentimentally again.
Chief Physician Li nodded slowly. “Yes. Without interns in your team, talking just isn’t interesting anymore”
The chief physician and associate chief physician nodded.
In the hospital, attending physicians and resident doctors might dislike interns, but chief physicians absolutely liked them.
Interns were really nice. They were fresh in the medical field. They were all intelligent white papers. They could let the chief physicians show off…
Those attending physicians and resident doctors had already heard about them and were sick of it already. Attending physicians and resident doctors could no longer believe those words the chief physicians said but they could say them again and again in front of the interns…
“Our hospital doesn’t even know how to send some interns to help us.” Associate Chief Physician Deng shook his head with a little resentment.
“Interns can’t do much work.” At some point in time, Cai Qiong also moved into the courtyard and joined the chat between the chief physician and associate chief physician.
Associate Chief Physician Deng and Chief Physician Li glanced at each other, but they showed no intention of talking to Cai Qiong.
“Most beds are under Doctor Ling. Why else would he arrive early?” Cai Qiong added as he looked at the chief physician and associate chief physician.
“What do you mean?” Associate Chief Physician Deng’s voice was cold.
Cai Qiong chuckled and said, “I’m just thinking, isn’t Doctor Ling only occupying the beds because he’s performing major surgeries like hepatectomies? We can do some similar surgeries and get some beds under us.”
“Not interested.” Associate Chief Physician Deng refused. Was he crazy? Why would he want to have the Bazhaixiang hospital branch’s beds under him?
Cai Qiong did not expect him to accept it either. He turned to Chief Physician Li and said, “Chief Physician Li, you can’t just work in public health here. Aren’t you going to do any surgeries?”
Chief Physician Li’s let out a burst of unnatural laughter.
After he had Cai Qiong follow him in doing public health, they really had not done a single surgery.
Chief Physician Li had his own ideas. Naturally, he did not care about surgeries, but Cai Qiong suffered quite a lot because of it.
When Cai Qiong came upfront with him about this at this moment, Chief Physician Li could not help but feel embarrassed.
“We will discuss this once we get back.” Chief Physician Li snorted and did not give a plan.
“There are so many interns here under Doctor Ling. If you don’t do it, you won’t have the chance to do it anymore.” Cai Qiong added.
Chief Physician Li looked up at the Ling Treatment Group, which walked around with an awe-inspiring presence. He could not help but say, “Why would we compete with them? Even if they did take all the patients in Bazhaixiang, they won’t have a lot of them, considering the number of people here.”
As they talked to each other, several people looked up to the first floor.
Ling Ran and his treatment group still occupied most of the space over there.
Ling Ran took his own time checking the rooms one by one.
The Bazhaixiang hospital branch’s state was obviously inferior to Yun Hua Hospital, not only in terms of surgical conditions but also in their conditions to provide nursing care. In this case, it was necessary to increase the frequency of ward rounds and strengthen inspections.
On the other hand, Bazhaixiang’s requirements were relatively simple. It was also good for the doctors—resident doctors and even Ling Ran—to learn.
“Bed 12 needs a change in the dressing again. If he still doesn’t get better, we’ll need to consider operating on him again.” Ling Ran exited the door and whispered to the doctors present.
All the doctors present agreed with an incredibly imposing manner.
Qi Zao shouted especially loudly. She was still enjoying the collective behavior of the people, and she was even more curious about the structure of the hospital.
Unfortunately, there were not many beds and rooms that the Bazhaixiang hospital branch could provide. In less than an hour, the ward round ended. Ling Ran returned to the emergency room, and the group naturally dissipated.
Qi Zao secretly pulled out her phone, pinpointed Ling Ran with it, and took several more pictures of the emergency room.
At this time, an old man pushed open the door and walked in.
Qi Zao saw this and quickly put away her phone to greet him warmly, “Are you here for a doctor?”
“I…” The old man in his sixties looked at Qi Zao skeptically. “I’m looking for a doctor, but not you.”
Qi Zao’s expression turned stiff. “Why not?”
The old man frowned, and when he noticed no other doctor coming around, he reluctantly said, “I don’t want to show you this thing.”
“Your…” Qi Zao blushed but said firmly, “A doctor has the heart of a parent. We treat all illnesses equally.”
“You don’t have to, you’re a lady…”
“A female doctor.” Qi Zao corrected him and asked, “What kind of illness do you have?”
“You really want to treat me?” The old man stared at Qi Zao.
Qi Zao hesitated for a few seconds and nodded resolutely.
“Okay. Here it is,” the old man said. He took out a lunchbox from his pocket and handed it to Qi Zao.
Qi Zao took a closer look and almost threw the lunchbox on the floor.
“Hold it properly.” Yu Yuan came up from behind her, and her footsteps were as steady as a seal.
“What am I holding? It’s a box of feces!” Qi Zao held the lunchbox with three fingers. Her whole arm was shaking, not because he was afraid or disgusted, but because of its weight.
The lunchbox was full of black stuff. There was a slight smell, which also dealt a shock to Qi Zao’s young and fragile soul.
“Why did you bring feces over?” Yu Yuan asked the old man on behalf of Qi Zao.
The old man said indifferently, “Your hospital made an error on my feces test last time. I added some more for you so that you won’t get it wrong again.”
Qi Zao could not bear it. She turned around and asked, “Doctor Yu, where should I put this lunchbox?”
“There’s no place to put it. Hold it first,” Yu Yuan replied coldly. She looked at the feces in the transparent lunch box and said slowly, “The feces you brought in like this does not meet the inspection standard.”
The old man did not care and said, “That doctor here said it was okay last time. I suffer from constipation all year round. I can’t poop on the spot, you know.”
“Even if you bring it here, it won’t work.” Yu Yuan nodded. “But the one you have here isn’t just from one toilet session, isn’t it?”
The old man blushed. “How did you know?”
“The color, solidity, and moisture are different,” Yu Yuan said slowly.
“I didn’t defecate enough the first time, so I saved up a few days’ worth,” the old man said, and he looked a little more affable. “You look like a smart doctor. Please do my feces test for me.”
“Alright, did you bring your last inspection report?” Yu Yuan said as she sat down. She then told Qi Zao, who was already dumbfounded by the side, “You can send it for a test. I suspect CA [1].”
Qi Zao was startled. She instantly snapped out of her daze and looked at the old man sympathetically before the heavy lunchbox in her hands pulled her back to reality.
