Chapter 33: A patient coughing up blood“Class monitor, deputy class monitor, may culture and martial virtues unify the world!” Lin Feng continued chatting in the group, and suddenly, a message from his classmate Wang Qiang popped up in his private messages.
Wang Qiang: “Lin Feng, I think you’re much better than Shen Qiu and Feng Yuya.”
Lin Feng: “Oh, not at all. I can’t compare to them.”
Wang Qiang: rolls his eyes. “Stop pretending. Today, I heard that you performed a part of a surgery. I don’t believe Shen Qiu and Feng Yuya would even get a chance to be in the operating room, let alone participate.”
Lin Feng smiled slightly but didn’t respond.
Wang Qiang: “By the way, Lin Feng, do you have time for dinner? We’re pretty close anyway.”
Lin Feng: “Sure, how about tonight?”
Wang Qiang: “Sounds good.”
They agreed on a location and met at the Phoenix Tower restaurant.
During dinner, Wang Qiang asked, “Lin Feng, have you registered for the competition?”
Lin Feng replied, “Not yet. I’m still considering it.”
Wang Qiang encouraged him, “Why hesitate? I’ve already registered. It would be fantastic if we could make it to the national finals. It will also improve our chances of getting hired by top hospitals after graduation. Even if we don’t make it to the national finals, entering the South China division or ranking high in our school would be great.”
Lin Feng thought momentarily and agreed, “Alright, then I’ll register…”
Inwardly, he added, “I’ll use only 10% of my skills so I don’t overpower the competition…”
Wang Qiang was delighted, “Lin Feng, with your skills, getting first place in this school should be a piece of cake!”
Lin Feng modestly responded, “Oh no, the class monitor and deputy class monitor are much more capable. There are also many talented individuals in other classes.”
Wang Qiang expressed his disdain for Shen Qiu and Feng Yuya, saying, “Shen Qiu and Feng Yuya have too much arrogance. I don’t like them. I’m sure they can’t compare to you.”
Lin Feng smiled in response.
Soon, the waiter served their dishes, and they continued chatting while enjoying their meal.
Wang Qiang asked, “By the way, why did you come to the ICU today?”
Lin Feng explained, “I know the head of the ICU. He asked me to come.”
Wang Qiang was surprised, “You got the attention of the ICU bigshot. Impressive! As interns, we have no power at all. Those doctors are all high and mighty, looking at us interns with disdain. I’ve been scolded so many times.”
Lin Feng was equally surprised, “Really?”
Wang Qiang asked in disbelief, “You haven’t experienced it?”
Lin Feng replied, “No, the nurses and doctors are really nice to me. They often buy me bubble tea, fruits, etc.”
Wang Qiang couldn’t believe it, “…………….”
Not being scolded and getting bubble tea and fruit every day? “Damn it! I envy you to the point of being unrecognizable! Is it because I’m not handsome enough?”
Wang Qiang looked at Lin Feng’s handsome face and fell into contemplation.
Question: Is it still possible to get plastic surgery now?
At that moment, Lin Feng’s phone rang.
Ring, ring, ring~
Lin Feng answered the call from the emergency department’s doctor, Song Ziming.
Lin Feng: “Song Ge, what’s up?”
Song Ziming: “It’s like this, I have surgery here, a case of pancreatitis. Can you come and assist me?”
Lin Feng: “Uh, sure… I’ll go back now. It’ll take about half an hour.”
Song Ziming: “Alright.”
Lin Feng hurriedly left the restaurant.
Wang Qiang: “…………….”
Pancreatitis? Assist in surgery? Wang Qiang looked at Lin Feng with a strange expression.
Lin Feng: “I’ll head back now. Let’s reschedule next time.”
After saying his goodbyes, Lin Feng rushed back to the emergency department.
The surgery began, and three hours later, it was successfully completed. Song Ziming was relieved and grateful for Lin Feng’s assistance.
In the following days, Lin Feng continued his work in the emergency department. On a new day, a female patient rushed in, seeking help.
Woman: “Doctor, I’m feeling unwell. Please help me figure out what’s wrong.”
Lin Feng observed the woman, who was around 40 years old, had sun-exposed skin, drooping eyelids, and flushed skin. She appeared to be breathing rapidly. Suddenly, the woman started coughing violently, covering her mouth.
“Cough, cough~~~~” (Intensifying) “Cough, cough~~~~” (Further intensifying) “Cough, cough~~~~”
Her coughing intensified, and her body shook as if she was about to cough out her lungs.
Lin Feng’s gaze froze as he noticed blood on her hand when she removed it from her mouth.
Lin Feng immediately considered various possible causes, primarily related to the lungs. He asked the woman to explain her condition, and she revealed that she had been coughing for four years, with the condition worsening over time.
Lin Feng asked for medical records, but the woman had lost them.
Wang Qiang: “…………….”
