This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

Zhang Biao, an attending physician in the emergency department, strode into the observation room.

As soon as I entered, my gaze swept over the hospital beds and immediately locked onto the elderly man in the corner of the observation room.

Zhao Rui followed behind him, the panic from his earlier escape completely gone, as if he wasn't the one who had been so anxious to find his superiors just moments before.

Zhang Biao's gaze lingered on Zhou Cheng for a moment.

He was a little curious. Zou Rui was on duty in the observation room tonight, so why was Zhou Cheng here too?

But the patient's condition was urgent at the moment, so he didn't ask any more questions and quickly walked to the bedside to check on the old man's condition.

"Sir, how are you feeling now? Are you still having trouble breathing?"

A family member standing nearby quickly said, "It's a bit better than before."

Zhang Biao quickly lifted the old man's hospital gown and began to listen to his lungs.

The elderly man was quite weak; although his breathing was more stable than before, he was still clearly panting.

After listening to the patient's heart and lungs, Zhang Biao frowned slightly: "There are obvious wheezing and crackles in both lungs, and significant edema in the lower extremities. Do you have a history of chronic bronchitis and heart failure?"

"Yes! Doctor, my dad has had chronic bronchitis for five years, and he was hospitalized last year for heart failure!" The family member nodded hurriedly, his tone full of urgency.

Zhang Biao straightened up and turned to Lin Ling: "How are her vital signs now? What treatment did you give her?"

Before Lin Ling could speak, Zhao Rui stepped forward and said, "Teacher Zhang, I just noticed that the old man's blood oxygen was too low, as low as 70. I immediately increased the oxygen concentration, and now the old man's breathing is much better, and his blood oxygen has also increased."

Lin Ling frowned.

At this moment, Zhao Rui's appearance was completely different from usual. He probably didn't even know that it was Zhou Cheng's timely intervention that had stabilized the patient's condition.

Unable to hold back any longer, she spoke up directly: "Dr. Zhang, Dr. Zhou diagnosed it as acute left heart failure complicated by respiratory failure. He told me to give the elderly man 20mg of furosemide and also prepare aminophylline. After taking the medication, the elderly man slowly recovered, and his blood oxygen level has just risen to 85%!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui's face instantly froze, and his composure vanished completely.

He never expected that Zhou Cheng would actually step forward and treat the patient.

For a moment, his gaze darted away from Zhang Biao, and he dared not look directly at him.

Zhang Biao's gaze shifted to Zhou Cheng.

Furosemide reduces the burden on the heart by promoting diuresis, and aminophylline relieves bronchospasm. These two steps are precise and timely, fully in line with the emergency treatment principles for acute left heart failure complicated by respiratory failure.

It's not easy for a doctor on probation to do this.

"Well handled." Zhang Biao looked at Zhou Cheng. "The judgment was accurate, the medication was administered in time, and the condition was not delayed."

In fact, everyone has seen Zhou Cheng's performance in the emergency department.

Although he didn't have much of an advantage compared to the other two new doctors, he was hardworking and never refused to work overtime.

This alone has earned high praise from many veteran emergency room doctors.

For some reason, Zhou Cheng hasn't voluntarily stayed to work overtime these past few days.

Zhou Cheng paused for a moment, then nodded gently: "Teacher Zhang, I followed the first aid procedure as well."

If the patient's condition hadn't been critical, he really wouldn't have wanted to be in the limelight and would have preferred to spend the remaining three months quietly.

However, during the rescue, Zhou Cheng also noticed something very strange.

He felt his mind was clearer than before.

The moment I saw the patient, countless possible diagnoses flashed through my mind. After the physical examination, I immediately deduced the final diagnosis of heart failure complicated by respiratory failure.

Zhang Biao didn't say anything more, then turned to Zhao Rui and Lin Ling and instructed, "Quickly bring the resuscitation bed over, take the elderly man to the emergency room, check his urine output, prepare to continue administering diuretics, and contact the cardiology department for a consultation to assess whether he needs to be transferred to the CCU!"

"Okay!" Lin Ling immediately responded, turned around and pushed the emergency bed, her steps becoming much lighter.

……

Lin Ling and Zhao Rui together pushed the patient into the emergency room.

About five minutes later, Lin Ling returned to the observation room, but Zhao Rui did not follow her back.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you so much." Lin Ling walked to Zhou Cheng's side, her voice full of gratitude. "If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do on my own."

"We're all colleagues in the same department, no need to talk about this." Zhou Cheng waved his hand with a smile, not caring at all.

"Actually, that patient was originally supposed to be sent to the cardiology department," Lin Ling explained. "But there were no beds available in the general cardiology ward, and the patient didn't want to go to the CCU, so they stayed in the observation room temporarily. Unexpectedly, they suddenly fell ill."

"That's how heart disease is; the condition can change suddenly." Zhou Cheng smiled. "Next time you encounter someone with a history of heart disease, be careful."

"Okay, I'll treat you to milk tea sometime. I have to go now."

Lin Ling said a few more words, then pushed the treatment cart away. There were many patients in the observation room waiting for her to perform treatments.

……

Lin Wei watched the entire rescue process from her bed in the observation room.

As an oncologist, she rarely encounters emergency situations, and her main focus is on scientific research.

Therefore, when she saw the actual emergency room environment today, she was somewhat shocked.

Zhou Cheng, a boy who had no outstanding qualities in her memory, seemed exceptionally dazzling that night.

About ten minutes later, Su Yi and his group returned.

The freckled girl was also carrying a lunchbox.

"Weiwei, how are you feeling now?" The freckled girl placed the lunchbox on the table next to the hospital bed.

"I feel much better. Why don't you go back and rest first?" Lin Wei glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost nine o'clock at night without her realizing it. "My hotel is nearby. It's just a few minutes' walk back."

The freckled girl frowned: "No, it's so late, it's too dangerous for you to go back alone, especially since you've only just started to feel better."

Su Yi suggested, "Zhou Cheng seems to live nearby too. We can have him take Lin Wei home later. It's really late now, and everyone has to go to work tomorrow, right?"

Upon hearing this, the others stopped insisting.

We're not students anymore, able to skip classes whenever we want. Most of us work in hospitals now, so it's impossible for us to be absent from our posts.

Everyone turned their attention to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng didn't mind and nodded: "No problem. I'll take Lin Wei there later and observe her for a while to prevent a relapse of supraventricular tachycardia. You guys go first."

"Alright, we'll head back now." The freckled girl stood up from the edge of the bed and smiled at Zhou Cheng. "I'm leaving Lin Wei in your care. Make sure she gets back to the hotel safely."

Zhou Cheng nodded slightly.

He knows the neighborhood like the back of his hand; he could find it with his eyes closed.

Before leaving, Su Yi kept winking at Zhou Cheng.

Even after she left, she sent him a WeChat message: "How would you rate my actions?"

Zhou Cheng replied with a sigh, "Don't try to play matchmaker."

Su Yi quickly replied, "Wait a minute, didn't you send Lin Wei love letters back in college?"

Every time Zhou Cheng thinks about this, he gets a headache. "I've explained it countless times: it was written by Han Kang from the next dorm room. It accidentally fell into my bag, and then you guys found it!"

"But when I asked Han Kang, he denied it."

Zhou Cheng was speechless: "If you had done this, and everyone knew about it before you even found out, would you admit it?"

After sending that message, Zhou Cheng ignored Su Yi.

A misunderstanding during their university years made Zhou Cheng feel awkward every time he ran into Lin Wei.

The two of them had barely exchanged a few words, but when they met, they acted as if they had done something wrong.

That bastard Su Yi always gets involved in causing trouble, like this time when he made Zhou Cheng take Lin Wei home.

……

Half an hour later, Lin Wei had fully recovered.

That's how it is with supraventricular tachycardia; once the heart rhythm returns to normal, there's no difference between you and a normal person.

Zhou Cheng said, "Shall I take you back to your hotel?"

Lin Wei nodded: "Mm."

On the way back to the hotel, the two didn't talk much, since they had only been ordinary classmates before.

If it weren't for that wrongly delivered "love letter," the two of them probably would never have been connected.
