This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!
Chapter 216 The Zhang Family Celebrates the New Year Early
In a hospital environment where emergency calls can come at any moment, sleep during the night shift is always tinged with a sense of cautious tension.
Zhou Cheng lay on the bed in the lounge, his eyes closed, but his mind was never completely relaxed, and he was always on guard against any sudden situations.
In the break room, whenever a nurse gives a loud instruction during shift change, or a family member speaks softly but clearly, he will suddenly open his eyes and his heart will race instantly.
Once he realized it was just an insignificant sound, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, trying to suppress the sudden tension.
Even after the corridor returned to quiet, without the urgent ringing of the emergency phone or the sound of ward doors opening and closing, Zhou Cheng was unable to enter a deep sleep again, remaining in a dazed, semi-awake state.
Every now and then, he would subconsciously open his eyes, fumble for his phone on the bedside table, check the time, and then gently close his eyes again.
Since he came out of the emergency room and returned to this small rest room, things seem to have calmed down a lot in the emergency room. Even the number of critically ill patients, which is usually the most common during night shifts, has inexplicably decreased.
Zhou Cheng frowned, but then felt helpless and could only silently complain in his heart.
This system is outrageous! That debuff completely controls him, making him utterly submissive and leaving him no room to resist.
He secretly made up his mind that he could no longer spend his night shifts in the emergency room like before.
……
After some time, the sky outside the window gradually brightened.
The sounds in the ward corridor became more and more frequent, with the conversations of family members and the rolling wheels of nurses pushing treatment carts intertwined, breaking the tranquility of the emergency room.
Zhou Cheng couldn't fall asleep anymore. He propped himself up on his arms and slowly sat up, moving very gently and slowly, afraid of disturbing the doctor on duty who was fast asleep in the next bed.
The other person had also been busy all night and was now fast asleep.
He carefully lifted the blanket, his feet landing softly without making a sound.
He then tiptoed to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and splashed cold water on his face. The icy touch instantly dispelled any lingering sleepiness and cleared his mind considerably.
After rubbing his cheeks briefly and straightening his white coat, Zhou Cheng gently closed the door to the lounge and walked into the corridor.
He stopped just as he reached the door of the emergency room.
The emergency room was peaceful, the urgency and panic of the first half of the night gone.
This scene was something no one could have imagined last night.
Next to the nurses' station, Chen Xi and Li Yang were asleep, leaning against the chairs, their faces showing undisguised exhaustion.
Chen Xi rested her head gently on the nurses' station, her brows slightly furrowed.
Li Yang leaned back in his chair, his hands crossed in front of his chest, breathing evenly, clearly exhausted.
Zhou Cheng walked quietly into the emergency room. He didn't wake them up, but instead went to each bedside to carefully check on each patient's condition.
Looking at the medical records and prescriptions written by the two, a relieved smile gradually appeared on Zhou Cheng's lips.
These two students have made such rapid progress that they have become increasingly proficient in writing medical orders and progress notes, and he no longer needs to revise them word by word.
Only when he occasionally encounters more difficult medical orders or complex and difficult disease courses does he need to make a few minor modifications to remind them to pay attention to some details.
"Hmm, they're all pretty good." Zhou Cheng nodded slightly, his tone full of approval.
He gently put down the medical record, his movements soft and careful not to make a sound that might disturb the two sleeping people and the patient in the bed.
Just then, Chen Xi and Li Yang woke up almost simultaneously.
Chen Xi moved her arm first, her eyes still a little dazed. But when she saw Zhou Cheng standing beside the hospital bed, she instantly became much more awake. She quickly sat up, tidied her slightly messy hair, and said softly, "Senior brother, you're awake?"
Zhou Cheng turned around and nodded to her: "You're awake. You're all exhausted. How was the emergency room after I left last night? Were any more critically ill patients brought in?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xi immediately perked up and quickly said, "Senior brother, two more patients were sent over from the triage area later, but their conditions are both fine and not critical. Li Yang and I have handled them properly, and the patients are now in stable condition."
Li Yang, who was standing nearby, quickly came to his senses and added, "Yes, senior brother, we have already given them medical advice and taken care of them. We even checked on them before they woke up, and they are both fine."
His voice was still a little hoarse, clearly indicating that he had just woken up.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng nodded, then picked up the medical records and doctor's orders that the two had just written and carefully reviewed them. He couldn't find any fault with them at all.
Both the description of the illness and the doctor's orders were very standardized.
He looked up and smiled at the two of them: "You two are really amazing now, you've improved so fast. Most patients shouldn't be a problem for you anymore."
Hearing Zhou Cheng's praise, Chen Xi and Li Yang were a little embarrassed and quickly shook their heads with smiles.
Chen Xi said softly, "It's all thanks to your teaching, Senior Brother. Without your guidance, we wouldn't have progressed so quickly."
Li Yang nodded in agreement.
Looking at their tired but still bright eyes, Zhou Cheng put down the medical record folder in his hand: "You two worked hard all night yesterday, thank you for your hard work. It's almost time to hand over the shift now, why don't you just go home? I'll take care of the rest of the handover."
Upon hearing this, the two men showed clear interest.
They had already bought their train tickets home this morning. They were worried that they would have to wait until after their shift ended to catch the train, which would be rushed and might even cause them to miss their train.
Now that they can leave work early, they can not only go back to their dorm to take a hot shower, but also leisurely buy breakfast, and then go to the train station without having to rush.
Seeing that the two only exchanged glances but didn't speak, Zhou Cheng immediately saw through their thoughts and hurriedly urged them with a smile, "Don't hesitate, go home for the New Year as soon as possible. You haven't been home for a year, and your family members are probably looking forward to your return. Don't keep them waiting."
Seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't hold back any longer and quickly nodded, a happy smile spreading across her face: "Okay, thank you, senior! We'll head off work now. Happy New Year in advance, senior!"
"Okay, Happy New Year to you all too. Please be careful on the road and take good care of yourselves."
Zhou Cheng gave them a few more instructions, and seeing the two of them quickly pack their things, he felt much more at ease.
With their departure, the once bustling emergency room instantly became somewhat deserted, leaving only two nurses on duty sitting by the nurses' station, heads down, carefully checking the night's medical orders, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones, their voices so soft they were almost inaudible.
Zhou Cheng walked to the nurses' station and chatted with them occasionally, inquiring about the patients' conditions at night. The nurses responded patiently to each of them.
After exchanging a few words, he picked up the medical record folder again and began a new round of rounds.
