This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

"This isn't something you can decide," Zhao Chunmei said with a smile and a shake of her head. "The review for the top-tier hospital accreditation is extremely important to our hospital. The hospital leadership values ​​this kind of positive achievement, which demonstrates our emergency response capabilities and doctor-patient relationships, more than anyone else. Besides, this isn't just about promoting you; it's also about promoting our emergency department and the entire hospital. Just cooperate."

Li Degang, who was standing nearby, also came over and chimed in, "Zhou Cheng, the head nurse is right. This is no small matter. On the one hand, it will let more people know about the emergency department's level of emergency care, and on the other hand, it will give the patient and their family an explanation, letting them feel that the doctors in our hospital are truly dedicated. Don't refuse, prepare well, and talk about it properly during tomorrow's interview."

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zhou Cheng knew that the matter was settled and there was no point in refusing anymore, so he could only nod.

"Okay, I'll cooperate. But head nurse, during the interview, don't just talk about me. The nurses who went out with me on the 120 call, and everyone in the emergency room, all deserve credit. You can't just mention me."

"Don't worry, I remember everything." Zhao Chunmei smiled. "I'll go organize the materials now and write down the names of everyone involved in the rescue, making sure no one is left out. You can go to work without worry. I'll call you when the publicity department arrives tomorrow."

"Mm." Zhou Cheng nodded.

Watching Zhao Chunmei bustling around, Zhou Cheng felt a mix of emotions.

He was only thinking about getting through this period so he could get the system reward.

I just hope that this hospital publicity won't affect my main mission.

This also served as a reminder to Zhou Cheng.

He always felt that he didn't need to do anything, and that he would be dismissed naturally when the probation period came.

But now, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis: what if the hospital leaders took a liking to him?!

……

Just as Zhou Cheng was pondering, the system suddenly popped up another reminder.

【Ding! 】

[The system has detected that the host has received its first banner of appreciation, completing the hidden system quest – Emergency Room Specialist]

[Task Reward: Obtain the title "Emergency Room Specialist" (Effect: Chance to treat patients who come seeking treatment from those who have sought your expertise). This title has been automatically (forced) equipped!]

Zhou Cheng is now completely bewildered.

Another debuff has been added?!

Previously, the probability of encountering critically ill patients increased; now, the number of patients treated has increased directly.

They're even forcing us to wear titles; is the system even going to put on an act anymore?

Zhou Cheng checked his attribute panel.

Name: Zhou Cheng

[Occupation: Emergency Department Probationary Physician]

Education: Master of Clinical Medicine

Age: 25

[Department: Emergency Department, Jinghua City First People's Hospital]

Skills mastered: Venous puncture (proficient level), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (expert level), pericardiocentesis (proficient level), coronary angiography (master level), electrocardiogram interpretation (master level)...

[Status Bar: Comprehension +20% (Passive Buff), Probability of Encountering Critically Ill Patients +20% (Passive Buff)]

[Title Already: Renowned Emergency Room Doctor (Effect: Increases the chance of seeing patients who come specifically for treatment)]

[System Main Quest: Receive a huge reward upon being dismissed from the Municipal People's Hospital.]

Looking at his attribute panel, Zhou Cheng felt like he was getting stronger and stronger!

They already have two master-level skills, unlike senior physicians like Li Degang and Zhang Biao, who don't have any master-level skills!

It seems he can't just give up like this.

They need to find ways to increase their leverage in the event of being "dismissed" within the reasonable scope of the system.

……

This morning, Zhou Cheng was on the day shift in the emergency observation room again.

After handing over the patients' conditions to the night shift doctor who was on duty last night, Zhou Cheng returned to his office and began to further review the examination and test results of each patient.

Because he knew he had various debuffs, he dared not relax at all during work.

Don't be fooled by Zhao Rui's recent lack of work; he's related to the hospital leadership. Once the hospital settles his issue, he can relax again.

Zhao Wenqi had been in the emergency observation room for some time, and she was in a good mood when she met Zhou Cheng again today.

In particular, she had just learned from the head nurse that the drowning patient she and Zhou Cheng had rescued earlier had actually woken up and had even come over to present a banner of appreciation!

Upon first meeting Zhou Cheng in the emergency observation room, Zhao Wenqi couldn't help but exclaim, "Dr. Zhou, you're amazing! You actually saved those patients!"

Zhou Cheng smiled and said helplessly, "Others may not know, but don't you? The patient we rescued that day, I only did what I could. He was able to wake up because of his strong will to live."

Zhao Wenqi shook her head repeatedly: "It's different..."

She was about to continue explaining when a patient walked in outside the observation room, so she had to give up.

……

There weren't many patients remaining in the emergency observation room today; most critically ill patients have been admitted to the hospital.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng only needs to handle the patients under observation sent from the emergency department today.

A middle-aged man in a gray jacket walked into the observation room clutching his stomach, his brows furrowed. Behind him followed a woman carrying a plastic bag, presumably his wife.

"Doctor, my stomach hurts terribly. The outpatient clinic told me to come in for observation." The man was bent over, his voice trembling, and his hand was pressed tightly against his lower right abdomen.

Zhou Cheng got up and walked over, pointing to the examination bed: "Lie down, I'll do a physical exam first."

He took out his stethoscope and was about to unbutton the man's shirt when the man dodged him.

"Don't bother the doctor, just prescribe some painkillers!" the man said anxiously. "I've been in pain since yesterday, and an ibuprofen tablet didn't help. It must be my old enteritis acting up again. Just prescribe some strong ones and give me an IV drip of anti-inflammatory medication."

Zhou Cheng withdrew his hand, his tone calm: "Before the cause of the abdominal pain is determined, we cannot use painkillers casually, as it will mask the symptoms. Delaying diagnosis could be dangerous."

He paused, then added, "We'll do a physical exam first, and if necessary, a blood test and an abdominal ultrasound. We'll start medication once the results are in."

Upon hearing this, the man's face immediately darkened: "What's there to check? Don't I know my own body? It's just enteritis! Last time at the community hospital, they were fine after just an IV drip. Why is your big hospital making things so complicated?"

His wife chimed in, "Yes, doctor, we're in a hurry. Our child is waiting at home. Please prescribe some medicine first, and we'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Zhou Cheng shook his head firmly: "No, the treatment guidelines require that the cause of the disease must be clearly identified before medication can be used."

The man abruptly sat up on the examination table, his anger barely contained by the pain in his stomach: "What's wrong with you, doctor? I paid to see you, and you're deliberately making things difficult for me? Aren't you just trying to order more tests to earn your commission?"

His voice grew louder and louder, attracting the other patients to crane their necks and look in his direction.
