Lin Yuan drove back to the city's central hospital.

After changing into my work clothes, I went directly to the night shift office of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.

Tonight, he's working the shift with Wang Hao, the deputy chief physician of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.

When the two met, they merely exchanged a blank glance and nodded slightly, which was their way of greeting each other.

There were no pleasantries, no conversations, and the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

Of all the people in the entire Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the one who disliked Lin Yuan the most was Wang Hao, who was standing right in front of him.

Before Lin Yuan arrived, Wang Hao was the most outstanding young backbone member of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

She was promoted to associate chief physician at a young age, and with the backing of the vice president of the hospital, she was definitely a person with connections, and her future was bright.

She is usually the center of attention and the most popular person around.

But everything changed after Lin Yuan arrived.

Lin Yuan single-handedly solved all kinds of difficult and unsolvable cases.

Lin Yuan single-handedly garnered the department's reputation, the hospital's awards, and the patients' recognition.

His prominence as a veteran key member was completely overshadowed.

Wang Hao harbored a deep sense of resentment, filled with bitterness and jealousy.

He had a high opinion of himself and his own pride, and he was unwilling to be overshadowed by a new young doctor.

However, Lin Yuan was meticulous in his medical practice, and his diagnosis was accurate and reliable, without ever making any mistakes.

His medical skills and ethics are impeccable.

Even if he was very unhappy, he couldn't find an opportunity to target, nitpick, or suppress him.

I had no choice but to hold it in.

Lin Yuan knew exactly what was going on.

He had long known that Wang Hao harbored resentment towards him, and he also knew that the other party was the vice president's nephew, a clear case of someone with connections within the hospital.

But he didn't care at all.

If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. If you are strong enough, you have nothing to be afraid of.

In the office, the two sat on opposite sides.

They didn't exchange a single word throughout the entire process, quietly busy with their own things.

The atmosphere was subtle and awkward.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was past eight o'clock in the evening.

After finishing organizing the medical records, Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair and casually scrolled through his phone to relax.

Just then!

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing ambulance siren blared downstairs at the hospital!

Woo-woo-woo-woo

The sound was getting closer, and there was more than one vehicle!

The sounds of several ambulances overlapping one after another were particularly piercing and terrifying.

Lin Yuan raised his eyes, his expression hardening.

Something is wrong!

Such a large number of ambulances arriving at once must mean something serious has happened!

Sure enough, the hospital lobby erupted in chaos the next second.

A large number of medical staff rushed to the scene, amidst a chaotic mix of announcements, shouts, and footsteps.

The emergency department was overwhelmed and kept incredibly busy!

More than a dozen patients were rushed into the emergency room on stretchers and trolleys.

Everyone has the exact same symptoms!

Vomiting and diarrhea, persistent abdominal pain, profuse sweating, pale complexion, and weakness in the limbs; some people have fallen into a semi-comatose state.

All of them had symptoms of acute food poisoning!

Even more terrifying is that the emergency center is reporting in real time that a large number of patients are still being sent to the hospital!

Suspected food poisoning from the same batch of food, affecting an extremely large number of people!

Zhou Rui, deputy director of the emergency department, personally oversaw the scene, and was completely overwhelmed by the continuous stream of patients being brought in.

In all his years of medical practice, this was the first time he had ever encountered such a large-scale mass poisoning incident!

The number of patients is too high, and the emergency room doctors and nurses are simply overwhelmed. There is a severe shortage of beds, equipment, and staff!

The scene was chaotic, and there was a risk that critically ill patients would go into shock or suffer organ failure at any moment!

There simply wasn't enough time to thoroughly investigate each case!

Without wasting a second, Zhou Rui made a decisive call and immediately dialed the hospital office.

The voice was urgent and full of anxiety:

"Emergency! A large-scale food poisoning incident has occurred in the hospital!"

"The emergency department is understaffed. Immediately dispatch night shift doctors from all departments across the hospital to provide support!"

"Immediately arrange for the laboratory to expedite the screening for the source of the poisoning!"

"Prioritize the treatment of all critically ill patients and open a green channel!"

At a single command!

The entire hospital is on emergency mobilization!

The once peaceful and quiet inpatient wards and department offices have all entered a state of emergency preparedness!

Lin Yuan and Wang Hao, who were on duty in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, received an emergency support notification from the hospital on their mobile phones at the same time.

The once quiet night shift has suddenly become a scene of dramatic change!

As soon as the emergency notice was issued, Lin Yuan and Wang Hao from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine rushed to the emergency room.

The emergency department was in complete chaos.

Stretchers filled the corridor, and cries, groans, and shouts from medical staff mingled together.

A steady stream of poisoned patients were wheeled in, and nurses were running back and forth, sweating profusely.

Zhou Rui, deputy director of the emergency department, had lost his voice from shouting; he was extremely busy.

The moment he saw Lin Yuan and Wang Hao arrive, a glimmer of light flashed across his tense face!

He might not trust others, but he knew Lin Yuan too well.

Countless times, this young doctor has pulled people back from the brink of death when they were facing difficult and critical illnesses or near-death situations.

His medical skills are solid, his methods are ruthless, and his judgment is top-notch; he is more reliable than most of the senior experts in the hospital.

Zhou Rui didn't bother with formalities and immediately stepped forward, speaking at an alarmingly fast pace.

"Deputy Director Wang, Dr. Lin, please come and help immediately!"

"The situation is extremely dire!"

He pointed to several beds in the innermost emergency area, his face ashen.

"The number of people affected by the mass food poisoning is too large, and the test results are not yet available; the type of toxin is unknown!"

"Those patients over there are all critically ill; their heart rates are unstable, their blood pressure has plummeted, and they're on the verge of collapse!"

"I've already notified the hospital director and the expert team, but it will take them at least another ten minutes to get here from their homes!"

Ten minutes or so.

It wouldn't be considered long under normal circumstances.

It can be placed on critically ill patients with multiple organ failure and severe poisoning, where every second is a matter of life and death!

A few minutes is enough to take several lives!

Wang Hao stood to the side, glanced at the dying patients in the emergency room, and his expression subtly changed.

He has a background in traditional Chinese medicine and is skilled in treating chronic diseases and difficult-to-treat illnesses.

This unknown toxin poses an extremely high risk of causing acute and severe poisoning in a large group!

Without knowing the toxin, it's impossible to know where to begin with medication.

If a misjudgment or treatment error occurs, and the patient dies in your care, all responsibility, medical malpractice, and public pressure will fall on the attending physician!

Moreover, the entire hospital is now focused on this place, and a large number of patients are expected to be sent here in the future, making the situation completely out of control.

Wang Hao began to have second thoughts.

He has connections and a bright future; he has no desire to take risks or become a scapegoat in such a life-threatening emergency.

If something goes wrong, all the qualifications and future prospects he has worked so hard to build will be affected.

With a sudden thought, Wang Hao subconsciously took a half step back, adopting a supportive stance.

He even pretended to open his mouth:

"Director Zhou, the situation is indeed dangerous."

"I'll go and stabilize the patients with mild symptoms first, and divert them to relieve the pressure. The pressure on the severe cases here is too great, and I'm afraid... it will delay the treatment schedule."

The meaning couldn't be clearer after those words.

He dared not touch the critically ill patient!

Zhou Rui could easily see through his intentions, and inwardly cursed him as unreliable!

They messed up at the crucial moment!

But with a shortage of manpower, he simply doesn't have time to criticize.

All their hopes could be pinned on Lin Yuan, who stood silently to the side.

All eyes turned to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan remained calm, showing no panic or hesitation.

He glanced across the entire emergency area and spoke calmly:

"Leave the mild cases to Deputy Director Wang."

"Let me take a look at the severe cases first."

A simple sentence calmed the panicked crowd!

Zhou Rui breathed a sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

With Lin Yuan's words, we can at least hold out through tonight's crisis until the expert team arrives!
