This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 63: Period of Disorder!
"Dr. Lu, thank you so much... I'll really be heading back now." The patient and their family in Emergency Room Bed 3 packed their luggage and arrived at the emergency room door with beaming smiles.

During his hospitalization, Lu Cheng was certainly quite 'nagging', but such enthusiasm, given the high quality of the surgery, was what earned him 'enthusiasm' in return!
Lu Cheng was still reviewing the specific classification of radial head fractures in patients before, and he had thoroughly checked the relevant information, just in case he had misremembered something.

Now that it was confirmed, Lu Cheng looked up and walked out, saying, "You absolutely must abstain from alcohol for a period of time, at least for three months after the surgery."

The patient has appendicitis and underwent an appendectomy performed by Dr. Lu Cheng. Today is the fourth day post-surgery, and everything is recovering well.

"Otherwise, if pancreatitis develops again, it won't be something that can be resolved in just three to five days."

The patient was a 39-year-old middle-aged man. His wife was beside him, grabbing his waist and saying, "Did you hear me? If you dare to drink again, don't blame me for smashing your glass in front of your friends."

The woman was two or three years younger than the middle-aged man, her figure was slightly out of shape, and her makeup was ordinary. She smiled and said, "Dr. Lu, thank you. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him."

"Oh, by the way, Dr. Lu, Xiao Zhu from bed 5 bought you a bouquet of flowers, but I couldn't find you in the office."

Lu Cheng thought for a moment, then said, "Okay... um, big sister, don't blame me for being nosy, but you really need to see a proper dermatologist for this toenail fungus. I suggest you don't get it done at a pedicure shop outside, otherwise you might have to come back to me to have it removed next time..."

The woman hesitated for a moment, then finally remembered that she had asked acquaintances for information after her husband was injured. Lu Cheng's medical skills were extraordinary, and he had repeatedly advised her to listen to his advice.

"Okay, Dr. Lu, I'll come back to see you in a while..."

The couple picked up their meager luggage and walked out, whispering to each other. The man's voice was slightly gruff: "My uncle said his friend said Dr. Lu's technique is quite good. You'd better listen to him, not your best friend..."

Lu Cheng returned to the doctor's office and hadn't even sat down when he saw Zhu Juan from bed 5 appear at the office door again.

Lu Cheng quickly stood up, smiling, "Good evening, Teacher Zhu. What can I do for you?"

Zhu Juan was tall and of average appearance with shoulder-length short hair. She was a little embarrassed and spoke in a reserved tone: "Dr. Lu, I've come to thank you. Thank you for your miraculous healing skills that helped me recover so well."

"Otherwise, if my fingers become clumsy, it will be a real hassle to go to class..."

Zhu Juan is a recent graduate from a teacher's college, teaching at the No. 2 Middle School with a permanent position. During the summer vacation, she cut her finger while having a barbecue with friends...

One of her friends' brothers had also cut his hand before, so the other person had emergency experience and quickly told her to go to the People's Hospital for bandaging, and then to the state People's Hospital, saying that the county hospital wouldn't be able to handle it.

However, after Zhu Juan arrived, they heard a different version of the story. Torn between these conflicting opinions, Zhu Juan decided to have the surgery done in the county.

Zhu Juan was five or six years younger than Lu Cheng. Having only worked for a year, her face still looked quite young, and the way she secretly looked at Lu Cheng was not mature enough.

When Lu Cheng saw that Zhu Juan was holding a bouquet of orchids, he walked up and took it without hesitation: "Thank you, Teacher Zhu. It's too much trouble for you, isn't it?"

"Teacher Zhu, have you had dinner yet?" Lu Cheng asked quickly.

Zhu Juan understood what Lu Cheng meant: "I've already eaten, Dr. Lu. This is just a token of my appreciation, nothing more."

"After I get back, there are still many things I need to consult with you about my rehabilitation, Dr. Lu. I will definitely trouble you with your guidance again."

"Dr. Lu, thank you so much." Zhu Juan quickly waved her hand, refusing Lu Cheng's offer to treat her to a meal.

Lu Cheng nodded: "Okay, thank you too. This is the first time I've received a bouquet of flowers from a patient."

"I'll take it back tomorrow and take good care of it." Lu Cheng flicked the orchid's leaves, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Sometimes, the best gift is the recognition from patients, regardless of its monetary value. Of course, Lu Cheng didn't invite Zhu Juan to dinner or anything like that later.

……

After arranging the orchids, Lu Cheng went to the ward again to check on the patients who had just undergone surgery that day, and also to take another look at the recovery of the patient in bed 2 on the fourth day after surgery.

After confirming that everything was normal, Lu Cheng planned to go back to the lounge to read for a while.

However, as soon as Lu Cheng came out of the ward, he overheard Tian Zhuang and Tian Hongjian's phone conversation. Tian Zhuang said, "Dr. Tian, ​​we called Dr. Tian Shan in the orthopedics department, and he said we can go directly to get the admission certificate."

"It was always your orthopedics department that personally issued the hospitalization certificate in the emergency department before I went to see Dr. Lu. Dr. Lu said that the patient could undergo surgery without hospitalization. This is all based on the assessment of the condition."

"You usually treat shoulder dislocations regularly, so why are you suddenly saying you can't treat them anymore?"

After a while, Tian Zhuang said again, "The situation is no different. The others suffered from falls, but this patient said he has no history of falls or injuries. It seems like he was twisted."

"Isn't it normal for a woman to get twisted?"

Upon hearing Tian Zhuang's words, Lu Cheng quickly slipped back into the consultation room. "Brother Zhuang, stop talking. If you keep saying that, the patients will report you."

The girl had no external injuries, but she twisted her shoulder on Valentine's Day. Lu Cheng could already picture it, but Tian Zhuang still bluntly stated it without any attempt at subtlety.

"Brother Jian!" Lu Cheng called out with a smile.

Although Tian Hongjian was also the deputy chief physician of orthopedics, he was a rather kind older brother and had been quite good to Lu Cheng before.

“Lu Cheng, a patient with a shoulder dislocation came into your emergency department. It’s a simple case, why don’t you take care of it yourself?” Tian Hongjian said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng paused slightly, his expression stiffening: "Brother Jian, but shoulder dislocations are handled by our orthopedics department, aren't they?"

"Lu Cheng, aren't you also an orthopedic surgeon?" Tian Hongjian's voice was very calm, with a kind of aloofness that was almost ethereal.

"If all else fails, we should suggest the patient be transferred to another hospital. We can't handle this patient." Tian Hongjian said in a businesslike manner.

As the saying goes, "When a person leaves, the tea cools down," but Lu Cheng has no official title or status, so he doesn't qualify as someone who has left and the tea cools down.

Lu Cheng knew that Tian Hongjian was talking about how he had dismissed a patient with a broken bone.

Lu Cheng explained, "Brother Jian, that patient from before?"

Tian Hongjian interrupted: "You handled that patient Xiao Lu well. Peng Kun even looked it up in the book and posted it in the group."

"Anyone who dares to say Xiao Lu is wrong, I'll be the first to disagree. It's just that I'm not good at manual reduction of joint dislocations." Tian Hongjian's tone sounded like that of a seasoned veteran.

"Xiao Lu, you've also worked shifts in the orthopedics department and treated joint dislocations like this before. I believe you can handle it properly."

Lu Cheng now understood that Brother Tian Hongjian wasn't trying to slack off at all; he really wanted to disrupt the order!
“Okay, Brother Jian!” Lu Cheng replied.

Still asking for monthly votes!
