Chapter 207: Chapter 199: What does this have to do with me?
Seeing that Niu Niu’s mother’s complexion was even worse than before, Liang Tianze was furious: "What exactly did he do to the patient?"
"This, Dean, I don’t know either!" Tang Jun truly didn’t know what Xiao Lin had done to Niu Niu’s mother, but today’s data showed that aside from being a bit weak, Niu Niu’s mother was basically not in serious trouble. However, could he honestly say this in front of the dean? After that day, Tang Jun could hardly lift his head in the department, so the hatred for Xiao Lin and Chen Feng was conceivable. Now that Liang Tianze finally erupted in anger, Tang Jun naturally wanted to follow Liang Tianze’s lead.
"What kind of attending doctor are you?" Liang Tianze roared.
"That... it seems, it seems like that young man brought by Director Chen used acupuncture!" Under Liang Tianze’s fury, Tang Jun seemed to remember something and said hesitantly, unaware that at this moment, Tang Jun was secretly overjoyed.
Tang Jun knew that Liang Tianze disliked traditional Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture. It was said that when Liang Tianze was a child, one of his elders died at the hands of a quack traditional Chinese doctor, which was one of the reasons why Liang Tianze wanted to become a doctor.
"Acupuncture? Who gave him the authority?" Liang Tianze indeed burst into rage. None of the nurses present dared to look at Liang Tianze, especially the on-duty nurse there, who almost cried.
Especially seeing Niu Niu’s mother’s odd complexion now, and hearing Tang Jun’s report that her condition was deteriorating, Liang Tianze was naturally furious. More so because the person introduced by Chen Feng, the director of the emergency department, intervened in internal medicine. Since when did Chen Feng call the shots in internal medicine? Liang Tianze and Chen Feng were also not on good terms, and now that Chen Feng dared to meddle in their internal medicine matters, how could Liang Tianze not be angry?
"It was... it was instructed by Director Chen. I originally wanted to stop it, but Director Chen said he trusted that young doctor!" Tang Jun added another line, fearing the fire wasn’t big enough.
This time, Liang Tianze’s face turned a little green, but he did not lash out like before. Instead, he fell silent, slowly walking into Niu Niu’s mother’s ward, going to the bedside to check on her condition.
If the situation was as Tang Jun said, Chen Feng wouldn’t have it easy this time. If the patient were even slightly worse, or even died in the hospital, Chen Feng’s tenure as a director would be over, and he might even face imprisonment. After all, what Chen Feng did did not comply with hospital regulations or Huaxia’s laws. Who knows if the doctor he brought had certification from Huaxia’s medical authority?
In the ward, Niu Niu’s mother had been sleeping peacefully. A group of people coming in suddenly woke her. Seeing that the person coming was Liang Tianze, Niu Niu’s mother wanted to struggle to get up, but her body was too weak. Especially after Xiao Lin and Xia Xue came to see her that day, she knew even if she died, little Niu Niu would not be left unattended. Although later Xiao Lin acted to show her that if she died, no one would care for little Niu Niu.
But Niu Niu’s mother knew they were acting. For the past two years, the thing that kept her uneased finally had a resolution. Her will to survive, although not as weak as when she first knew about it due to Xiao Lin’s act, didn’t have the desperate will to survive that she had initially while fighting against fate with her daughter. Therefore, her condition naturally wouldn’t be better than the previous two days.
Although Xiao Lin did his best, Niu Niu’s mother’s health was still quite bad. As for the Profound Lady Heart Scripture that Xia Xue taught her, it’s naturally not something everyone can just easily touch upon and begin to practice as soon as they come into contact, unlike Xia Xue.
"You don’t have to get up, you don’t have to get up. How are you feeling now?" Liang Tianze looked at Niu Niu’s mother’s expression, which was much worse than two days ago. Now, the data on the monitor from the tubes inserted in her body was continuously dropping, especially her heart rate, which was severely decreasing, as if she might stop breathing at any moment; saying she was as weak as a wisp of air wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Although Liang Tianze was extremely angry outside, he was a very responsible doctor and wouldn’t bring the emotions from the small living room into the ward. In front of Niu Niu’s mother, he was a very kind doctor, with a very amiable and friendly expression.
"A little better than two days ago!" Niu Niu’s mother said weakly.
Liang Tianze was stunned. Clearly, the data on the instrument was much lower than two days ago. Some data had even exceeded the warning level, and on the surface, Niu Niu’s mother’s complexion was far worse than two days ago, her eyes dull, seeming as if she could fall asleep forever at any moment. How could she feel a little better than two days ago?
What Liang Tianze didn’t know was the concern of Niu Niu’s mother. If he knew, he’d know why her expression was worse than two days ago. Two days ago, little Niu Niu was her only worry, so her will to survive was naturally strong enough to fight against fate. Even though her body was already far beyond what she could bear, she still miraculously survived. This is motherly love, the greatness of motherly love.
If afterward, Xiao Lin didn’t threaten her like that, didn’t ignite her will to survive, she might have completely lost her vitality that night. Later, after Xiao Lin handled her, using the ointment made with the True Qi of Nine Dragons to apply to her whole body, plus Xia Xue taught her the first stage of the Profound Lady Heart Scripture, though it has not yet shown its effects, it slowly reactivated her originally exhausted physiological functions, only that it wasn’t very obvious.
Although all the data and complexion are worse than before, the true essence of life is much better than two days ago. Therefore, Niu Niu’s mother didn’t feel her body was worse than before. Previously, her survival was supported by enormous willpower.
"If you feel any discomfort, be sure to let us know in time. Now, looking at your data, it is much worse than two days ago. You have to hold on. Tomorrow, our hospital will organize a panel of experts to have a consultation on your condition and prescribe the right medication!" Liang Tianze said with much care, without mentioning Chen Feng and Xiao Lin. At this point, Liang Tianze put aside his preferences, focusing most on the patient’s condition. From this perspective, Liang Tianze was a responsible doctor, a good doctor.
In the nineteenth-floor office hall, there were only three or four nurses guarding it. As long as there were no issues, the doctors and nurses had mostly gone to Niu Niu’s mother’s ward with Liang Tianze. The office hall, at this time, seemed a bit empty.
"What do you think Dean Liang came over for this time? I just heard that his tone was not good, huh, Dr. Tang is really in for it!" A nurse who had just returned from vacation said. She had heard a lot about Dean Liang’s gossip and was unsure of the situation, only knowing that Dean Liang was angry, and Dr. Tang was certainly not going to have a good time.
"Xiao Wu, you’re wrong. Tang Jun wishes Dean Liang would be angrier. A few days ago, you were on vacation and didn’t know what happened on this floor. Let me tell you, Dean Liang’s anger this time makes Tang Jun secretly happy!" Another nurse who had been on duty said softly. Now was lunchtime, the only slightly idle time in the hospital, especially in the inpatient department floor office. Patients needing injections had mostly been treated, leaving little work except for a few newly admitted ones, so it was naturally gossip time.
"Ah, why would Dr. Tang be happy? Dean Liang’s tone wasn’t good, obviously directed at him. With Dean Liang’s authority, Dr. Tang’s future days are sure to be tough!" Xiao Wu said, quite surprised, with a hint of worry for Tang Jun. After all, Tang Jun’s appearance and talent were well acknowledged in their eyes, attracting many girls. Quite a few pretty nurses in the department had some ambiguous relations with Tang Jun, naturally concerned about him.
"You might not know, but Dean Liang lost his temper because someone treated his patient. Although the attending physician is Tang Jun, it’s merely because the patient was admitted on this floor under Tang Jun’s name. The real attending doctor is Dean Liang and other experts. It is heard that many hospital experts will attend a conference on a patient’s treatment tomorrow to devise an effective treatment plan. Yet Director Chen Feng from the emergency department invited a new emergency doctor from the school hospital to treat Dean Liang’s patient, using traditional Chinese acupuncture, I’ve heard. These two days, the patient’s various standards have declined significantly, some even exceeding the warning level, so it’s no wonder Dean Liang is angry!" Another nurse with inside information whispered.
"I say, don’t be too gossipy, alright? Gossiping about leaders behind their backs, be careful, ears along the walls!" Another nurse sitting in front of the computer kindly reminded.
Just after this nurse spoke, Xiao Lin walked out of the elevator, slightly surprised to see the empty hall without doctors and nurses, with only patients there. Xiao Lin came by every day at this time. Although it was lunchtime, for the hospital’s doctors and nurses, this concept barely existed. Even during this time, the hall office would not lack doctors and nurses.
Because of Xiao Lin’s handsomeness and because he gained appreciation from Director Chen Feng, even though Xiao Lin had only been here a few days, quite a few nurses had a good impression of him. Seeing Xiao Lin coming over, a nurse in front of the computer stood up and greeted, "Dr. Xiao, you’re here!" and quickly walked out from the desk to meet Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin found it strange. He did have an impression of this nurse, but did she really need to come out to greet him? Xiao Lin smiled and asked, "Mmm, is there something?" Xiao Lin was not one for beating around the bush, directly asking.
"Dean Liang came over, you should be careful later!" The nurse kindly reminded, "Dean Liang dislikes Chinese medicine the most, especially acupuncture!"
"What does this have to do with me?" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian () to vote, your support is my greatest motivation.)
