Chapter 502: [502] “Entertain” Da Niu Chapter 502: [502] “Entertain” Da Niu “Shouldn’t you be happy that this expert has arrived?” Huang Zhilei answered him.
“Happy about what?” Sun Yubo let loose with expletives privately. Who wants to invite a big Buddha? Why invite a big Buddha for no reason? True, he did have a rather troublesome patient on his hands, but if other front-line doctors could handle it, there was absolutely no need to have Da Niu step in.
Everyone knows how precisely the technical expert could pinpoint their shortcomings. In the middle of the night, after a tiring front-line shift, he didn’t want to set himself up for a setback.
“Either way, he’s here now,” Huang Zhilei said, patting him on the shoulder to get him to accept it.
“Do you know who else he brought with him?”
Teacher Sun’s question made everyone else take notice of the man following behind Tao Zhijie.
The face was somewhat familiar; Xie Wanying remembered the assistant that Senior Tao had brought with him last time he came to support surgery in General Surgery Department Two. About the same height as Senior Tao, the man had a somewhat stern face, lacking Teacher Tao’s habitual smile, with longer eyebrows and very sharp-looking eyes. From his appearance, one could tell he was quite efficient at his job.
To be Teacher Tao’s assistant, he must have had considerable experience, with technical skills to match somewhere between the levels of Teacher Shixu and Teacher Tan. As Xie Wanying speculated, her gaze quietly fell on the name badge hanging on the man’s chest: He Guangyou, attending physician.
“Huang Zhilei, did you invite people from both the second and third tiers?” Sun Yubo questioned his fellow townsman over and over.
Huang Zhilei swiftly replied to his skepticism, “Fellow townsmen meeting each other, tears fill their eyes. Our relationship is profound, so I invited the second and third tiers for you. Shouldn’t you be happy and grateful to me?”
Turning, Sun Yubo glared at his fellow townsman: Go to hell! You’re actually giving me lip at a time ?
“We must treat the big Buddha well,” Huang Zhilei reminded him softly in his ear.
Sun Yubo already knew this without needing anyone else to knock it into him. With a smile on his face, he went forward to greet him enthusiastically, “Teacher Tao has arrived.”
Teacher Sun’s intentionally sugary voice suddenly made Xie Wanying feel a wave of goosebumps. She saw Senior Brother Huang beside her struggling to hold back a shudder.
“What kind of patient?” Tao Zhijie inquired about the situation.
“Teacher Tao, you’re still at the hospital so late?” Sun Yubo thought it unlikely he had been called from home and then rushed here to General Surgery Department Two for a consultation. He, Sun Yubo, wasn’t that fortunate.
“Yes. There was some work to do in the team tonight, got late, didn’t go home,” Tao Zhijie said, briefly skirting the question. In fact, he had no need to explain. He, a senior associate, had no reason to justify himself to a resident physician in his department. While saying this, his smiling gaze drifted past Sun Yubo to Xie Wanying behind him.
On the other side, Sun Yubo and Huang Zhilei caught that look and exchanged glances: What’s this?!
“The patient is in bed 62,” Sun Yubo interrupted, breaking the other’s gaze.
“Let’s go,” Tao Zhijie directed, not to waste time.
The group made their way to the patient in bed 62. Along the way, Xie Wanying handed He Guangyou the medical record and the request for consultation. He Guangyou opened the record and the request to start briefing Tao Zhijie about the patient’s condition.
At the door of the room for bed 62, they happened to meet the night shift nurse, troubled at the doorway. Seeing the doctors, she complained, “Doctor Sun, she won’t let us go in. What should we do? She also said she was going to file a complaint against us.”
“What happened?” Tao Zhijie, unaware of the previous commotion caused by the patient’s family, asked.
Patients need to abide by the hospital’s rules and regulations.
