Chen Cang returned to the ward, and it was already past three in the afternoon. Yet, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw the aunt's three card-playing friends still there!
Seeing the stretcher coming, they hurriedly ran over.
"Xiulan is okay, right?"
"And you, how did you end up with a bowel obstruction?"
"Yes! Was it because of anger? I heard that getting angry can cause bowel obstruction!"
The two aunts and one uncle, seeing that Xiulan was okay, finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, sitting together as card players, they couldn't help but discuss and show concern.
The woman, seeing the three of them, couldn't help but smile. "It's okay, it's okay. The doctor told me it's a post-surgical complication. The previous surgery wasn't done completely, but now it's fine, everything that needed to be cut has been cut."
"But, we can't just play mahjong every day. We need to go out for walks, dance in the square and such!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them became instantly happy.
Actually, older people need friends too.
And to be honest, Chen Cang, looking at these few card-playing friends, couldn't help but sigh, as the quality of these friends was truly high!
At least at the critical moment, they could take the patient to the hospital and even stayed until the surgery was over without leaving.
No wonder people say distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. When it comes to understanding the patient, this group of friends had indeed been a great help.
Seeing his mother was okay, the son quickly expressed his gratitude to the aunts.
They were all neighbors, the son grew up before their eyes, and they all treated him as a child.
After all, how much better could someone else's child really be?
Children are willing to go out and strive, even many families in the capital wish their children to go abroad for better opportunities.
The elderly at home then find solace with neighbors and friends, so they are not too lonely.
At that moment, the patient said to the three of them, "Ah... once I recover, I need to move and live with my son. I can't play mahjong with you every day. You guys should also exercise a bit, don't end up like me!"
Upon hearing this, their hearts immediately felt sour.
Old Ma, looking at everyone, also felt quite sentimental, but after glancing at Chen Cang, he suddenly felt relieved again!
When they returned to the duty room, Old Ma suddenly said, "I now feel particularly unfilial, but... seeing you, I suddenly think it might be because of our profession. I believe my parents would understand me."
Chen Cang, seeing Old Ma , couldn't help but say, "Head nurse Ma, actually I lied to you just now."
Ma Yuehui was startled. "Lied about what?"
Chen Cang slowly said, "Actually, I just celebrated my mom's birthday last year. I was just pretending to go along with you."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yuehui was instantly stunned, and the name Wang Defa slipped out.
But, the happiness of a simpleton is very simple, just a mere meal could resolve it.
10 minutes later, the familiar delivery arrived at the emergency department of the hospital, Chen Cang treated, and specially ordered two extra large meat dishes for Old Ma.
Having made quite a bit of money recently in cardiology, treating Old Ma to a meal wasn't a problem.
In the afternoon, Chen Cang wasn't busy and took a short nap in the duty room.
He was awakened by a phone call.
Old Ma woke up too, and glanced at Chen Cang. "Who is it?"
Chen Cang couldn't help but say, "Yang Jie."
Seeing it was Yang Jie, Old Ma was momentarily stunned. "Got milk again? Hurry, go open the door…"
"This Yang Jie, who would've thought, she actually has ample breast milk!"
Chen Cang couldn't help but roll his eyes and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Sister Yang, what's wrong?"
Seeing Chen Cang pick up the phone, Yang Jie immediately sounded anxious, "Dr. Chen, a friend of mine, who just gave birth like me, her child was fine and suddenly started to have a fever."
"But she's from out of town and can't come here…"
Chen Cang was briefly stunned, "Why look for me… right, I'm in the duty room, come over here, and we'll talk face to face."
Chen Cang thought it was unclear over the phone, so he simply asked Yang Jie to come to the duty room.
Old Ma looked at Chen Cang, "What's going on?"
Chen Cang couldn't help saying, "A friend of Yang Jie's is sick and came to me for help."
Upon hearing that, Old Ma instantly felt uncomfortable.
"Why didn't she look for me? I am the head of the elite team!"
Old Ma was truly feeling frustrated!
He realized that whenever he was with Chen Cang, he never felt the honor that came with being the team leader and chief physician!
This made Old Ma very dejected!
Seeing Old Ma , Chen Cang couldn't help but comfort him, "Maybe because group leader Ma is quite busy, Yang Jie must have thought you weren't here!"
Upon hearing this, Old Ma nodded, definitely that must be it.
After all, he is Chief Ma, Group Leader Ma… why should he lose to a resident doctor!
He figured, Yang Jie must have thought he wasn't in the hospital.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Cang got up to open it.
Yang Jie hurried in and saw both Chen Cang and Ma Yuehui, immediately smiling, "Group Leader Ma is also here!"
Ma Yuehui nodded kindly, "Hmm, Sister Yang, what's up?"
Yang Jie smiled, "Nothing much, I just want to talk to Dr. Chen about something."
Hearing Yang Jie's words, Ma Yuehui was momentarily stunned, "Isn't someone feeling unwell?"
Yang Jie smiled, "I heard from Dr. Chen before, so Dr. Chen should know, that's why I came to him."
Ma Yuehui, not willing to give up, persisted in asking, "What is it? Let me give you some advice, too."
Chen Cang also nodded, "Yes, yes, just say it, Sister Yang. As the head of our elite team, group leader Ma has a wealth of experience."
Upon reflection, Yang Jie thought it made sense.
So she spoke directly, "It's , Dr. Chen, a friend of mine, a university classmate, we are both nurses."
"She was in the same class as me, she had a baby last year, and three days ago, the child suddenly started running a high fever!"
"Following that, the child started having diarrhea, severe diarrhea, all they expelled was milk!"
"Her in-laws are particularly superstitious, they couldn't find any reason at the hospital, so they went to mediums and brought in a shaman to start treating the child."
"She's at the county hospital, where the medical facilities are limited, so she asked me if I knew any experts who could find out what's wrong with her child!"
Upon hearing Yang Jie's words, Chen Cang and Old Ma looked at each other.
"Do you have any lab results or examination reports?" Both spoke in unison.
Chen Cang continued, "Right, send me the detailed medical records."
Yang Jie nodded eagerly, "Okay, I'll call her."
After saying that, Yang Jie hurriedly dialed the phone.
Soon, a woman answered, "Yang Jie, how is it?"
"My mother-in-law has gone mad, saying the child must be possessed, all possessed children behaved when they were small!"
