Chapter 1086: 【1086】The patient wants to slip away

"Why are you crying? I want to see you become a doctor," Teacher Lu scolded her grandson.

"Yes, Grandma," Zhang Shuping held back, daring not to cry.

Kang Mingzhu and Yu Xuexian tried their best to hold back and pretend nothing serious had happened. Kang Mingzhu went into Teacher Lu’s room to help tidy up, while Yu Xuexian picked up the phone to call Section Chief Yang.

"President," Section Chief Yang received the call and whispered a few words into President Wu’s ear.

After listening, President Wu nodded gravely and said to Tao Zhijie, "Teacher Lu needs to be hospitalized. Is your ward ready?"

Everyone who heard those words felt a tight squeeze in their heart. It seemed that everyone knew Teacher Lu was ill and had been advising her to get hospitalized for treatment. Like Zhang Shuping, once they learned that Teacher Lu was actually going to be admitted, it meant that it was confirmed she was genuinely ill—no one could relax. Instead, it felt like a heavy mountain pressing down on their hearts.

Heavy breathing rose and fell among them.

Tao Zhijie answered, "Our department has had a single room vacant for the past few days."

"So she can come to stay tonight anytime she wants, is that correct?"

"Yes."

"Let Teacher Lu know," President Wu instructed Section Chief Yang.

With Teacher Lu coming to stay tonight, the whole group stood up and moved to the Hepatobiliary Surgery ward.

The medical staff on duty at the Hepatobiliary Surgery department had no idea that a group of bosses who had just finished a meeting were about to arrive. The young doctors, Xie Wanying and Song Xueling, were busily treating a newly admitted patient with a severe condition.

Standing by and observing the teachers’ examination of the patient, Geng Lingfei and Fan Yunyun felt an itch in their hearts, fingering the stethoscopes in their pockets and wanting to follow suit and try. As medical students, they were acutely aware that sooner or later as doctors, they would face high-risk infectious patients and knew they must seize any opportunity to practice bravely.

Xie Wanying didn’t speak out; she didn’t dare to let the two of them try too easily. They were too busy, and she and Doctor Song did not have the time to watch over the students constantly. Should an accident happen when they were not around, and the students accidentally get infected with HIV, the consequences would be too grave for any teacher to bear.

It’s not that medical students do not understand the horror of infectious diseases, but doctors understand the fearful nature of it even more than the students do.

The nurse attached a cardiac monitor to the patient, performing the operation with two layers of gloves on.

Seeing this, Fan Yunyun mimicked the nurse, secretly putting on several layers of gloves for herself.

The worst fear for medical staff busy treating patients in the ward is for other patients in different wards to have an accident.

Just then, Hu Zhenfan, who had slept off his injection since the afternoon, finally woke up feeling refreshed. The injection was done, and he called the nurse over to remove it, feeling bored in the hospital. He grabbed his phone to call his unit to inquire about the case he was working on.

"Brother Hu, are you better?" His colleague was surprised to receive his call, "They said the doctors requested you to stay hospitalized because your condition was serious, and we were planning to visit you as a group tomorrow."

"No need. I can go back to work now," Hu Zhenfan jumped off the bed, found his shoes, put them on, and didn’t even glance at the patient’s gown left on the chair next to him for changing.

"Brother Hu, it’s good you’re coming back. That bastard, he still refuses to admit who his accomplices are," his colleague said.

"Wait for me, I’m going back to deal with him," Hu Zhenfan walked out of the ward, not planning to explain to the doctors and nurses, and headed straight for the hospital exit.

First, escape, then apologize to the doctors with a phone call later. He understood the doctors’ good intentions, but he always felt that his girlfriend and classmates, who were doctors, tended to make a big fuss over small issues—perhaps because they see too many critically ill patients in clinical practice, they treated him the same as if he were critically ill.
