This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

Chapter 239 A busy day is finally over

The weather is getting colder and colder.

The two returned to the ambulance, drank some hot water, and chatted for a while longer.

The ambulance was just about to leave for the hospital, and before it could even start the engine, the emergency call came in again.

This situation, however, left Zhou Cheng somewhat bewildered and amused.

The call came from a residential community. The family said the child had swallowed a toy part and was crying incessantly, so they called an ambulance.

"Oh? Did I eat something wrong again?" Lin Ling sighed.

She feels quite busy today!

Although I was mentally prepared when I left this morning, I haven't had a break at all; I've been busy all morning.

Lin Ling couldn't help but think of Zhou Cheng's nickname, the God of Black Face!

……

Upon receiving the call, Zhou Cheng didn't dare delay and immediately instructed his driver to head to the residential area.

Upon arrival, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the residential area.

Seeing the ambulance arrive, everyone cheered and quickly gave Zhou Cheng and Lin Ling directions.

"Doctor, it's right at the entrance of the residential area, please go quickly!"

Zhou Cheng and Lin Ling stepped forward with the first aid kit.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the residential area, they saw a little boy of about three years old crying in his mother's arms.

The child's mother paced anxiously nearby, looking extremely flustered.

"Doctors, you've finally arrived!"

When the child's mother saw Zhou Cheng and Lin Ling, she rushed forward, looking very anxious.

"Look at my child! He just swallowed a toy part and now he keeps complaining of a stomachache. Is he in danger?"

Zhou Cheng looked at the little boy beside him. Although he was crying, he didn't seem to be in much pain.

"Little friend, don't be afraid. Tell me what you ate and how much you ate?"

The little boy stopped crying when he saw the white coat. He looked at Zhou Cheng timidly and whispered, "I ate...I ate a small building block, round and tiny."

The child's mother immediately took the remaining building blocks out of the bag. "These are the kinds of building blocks, not very big, but I don't know how many he ate."

Zhou Cheng nodded and immediately checked the little boy's condition. He found that the boy was in good spirits and did not have any symptoms of difficulty breathing, vomiting, or severe abdominal pain. He had a general idea of ​​what was going on and said to the boy's mother, "Don't worry too much. The child swallowed a small building block. It was not big and was relatively smooth with no sharp edges. It shouldn't have scratched his digestive tract. It doesn't seem to have blocked his airway either. It's not a big problem."

"Really? Doctor, I'm still very worried. What if it gets stuck in my stomach?" The child's mother was still very worried, her brows furrowed tightly.

"If you're really worried, you can take your child to the hospital for an X-ray," Zhou Cheng patiently explained. "These smooth little parts usually pass through the body with feces. You can let your child eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as celery and bananas, to promote intestinal peristalsis and help expel the part. Over the next few days, observe your child's stool to see if the part has been expelled. Also, pay attention to your child's mental state. If symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever occur, please take your child to the hospital immediately."

After hearing Zhou Cheng's explanation, the child's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, doctor. I think I should still go to the hospital for a check-up, so I can feel at ease."

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Don't worry, you take the child and come back to the hospital with us."

Although the child was not uncomfortable along the way, Zhou Cheng still insisted that Lin Ling use the monitoring device to monitor the child's vital signs in real time.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhou Cheng guided the child's mother to register for an emergency surgery appointment for a comprehensive examination.

……

That day, emergency calls came in one after another, and Zhou Cheng and Lin Ling barely had any time to rest.

Often, after finishing with one patient, before even having a sip of water, they have to set off to pick up the next one.

Throughout the morning, in addition to the patients who had suffered cardiac arrest, choked on foreign objects, and swallowed toys, they also received a patient injured in a car accident, an elderly person suffering from a sudden hypertensive crisis, and a young person with acute appendicitis...

At noon, the two finally had time to eat lunch, but after only a few bites, the emergency call rang again.

By the time they finished treating the patient and returned to the hospital, their lunch had gone cold.

The two could only eat a few bites of cold rice before throwing themselves back into their work.

……

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost five o'clock when it was time to take over the shift, but Lin Ling gradually lost her strength and her face turned pale.

"Why don't you take a break and find someone to take your place?" Zhou Cheng glanced at Lin Ling beside him.

"Brother Zhou, no need, I'm fine, I can manage."

"Alright then, we'll see how the patient is doing later. If it gets too bad, you don't have to get off the bus. I can usually handle patients on my own."

Lin Ling shook her head firmly: "Brother Zhou, I can't let you down. I'll just have some hot water and rest for a bit. Anyway, I only need to hold on for another hour before I hand over my shift."

Perhaps because they had been busy for most of the day, the phone at the 120 dispatch center stopped ringing after four o'clock.

At 5:30 p.m., Zhou Cheng and Lin Ling finally finished their day's house call.

The two returned to the emergency room, removed their first aid gear, and slumped into chairs.

Lin Ling leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and rested for a while before slowly opening them.

Looking at Zhou Cheng, she smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, it's finally over. This day has been so tiring!"

Zhou Cheng laughed and said, "I'm too tired today. I'm going to leave work early to rest and get a good night's sleep. I have to keep working tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Lin Ling nodded, slowly stood up, packed her things, said goodbye to Zhou Cheng, and left the emergency department.

Zhou Cheng packed his things and left the emergency room.

A busy day is finally over!

……

Tomorrow is Zhou Cheng's day off, so he can relax at home.

The day after tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and he has to be on duty.

After finishing this shift the day after tomorrow, my shift for the whole year will be over.

Back in his rented room, Zhou Cheng cooked himself a bowl of noodles.

He used to rarely cook for himself when he was home alone. After all, he had to buy groceries, cook, and wash dishes, so it was easier to eat out or order takeout.

However, after living with Lin Wei for a few months, he started to learn to cook some simple dishes, which were passable.

That evening, Zhou Cheng called his parents again, explaining that he would be going home on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year and that they should spend the New Year with his aunt's family the day after tomorrow, so that they wouldn't be lonely and bored at home.

Of course, young people who are just falling in love have endless things to talk about.

Zhou Cheng and Lin Wei chatted for over an hour before reluctantly ending their WeChat video call.

Actually, what they said was nothing of substance, but the two of them just had endless topics to talk about.
