113: Chapter 113 Saving people isn't fighting; winning doesn't mean you have to overturn the table.

On the other side, the Red Zone of the Emergency Department had already become lively.

Sun Ji held his water cup and leaned over to Lu Chen, lowering his voice. "Brother Lu, let me interview you. How did it feel to put the expert from the Provincial Peoples Hospital into 'silent mode' just now?"

Lu Chen was writing a rescue record.

"No feeling."

"Can you not be such a buzzkill every time?"

"Are you going to write the rescue record for me?"

"Never mind, pretend I didn't ask."

Wu Fan walked over and patted Sun Ji on the shoulder.

"Don't bother him. The record for that Puncture just now must be detailed; it will definitely be used in a case discussion later."

Sun Ji said sourly, "Case discussions again, paper materials again. Lu Chen, you aren't here to work; you're here to grind dungeons and farm loot, aren't you?"

Lu Chen looked up at him.

"You can grind too."

Sun Ji pointed to his own face.

"Me? I can't even beat the mobs."

Zhao Yaqin walked in and placed a stack of test results on the table.

"Stop joking around. Lu Chen, the ICU just provided feedback on that patient. Blood pressure has stabilized at 96/60, lactate levels are starting to drop, and there are no malignant arrhythmias for now."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Good."

Zhao Yaqin looked at him, her eyes somewhat complex.

"Why did you leave a way out for Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao just now?"

Sun Ji immediately pricked up his ears.

Lu Chen stopped writing.

"The patient will likely need to be transferred to the Provincial Peoples Hospital for follow-up rheumatology and immunology management. There's no need to burn bridges."

Zhao Yaqin was stunned.

Wu Fan was also taken aback.

Sun Ji opened his mouth.

"Wait, Brother Lu, you were able to think of that on the spot?"

Lu Chen continued writing the record.

"Saving lives isn't fighting; winning doesn't mean you have to flip the table."

Zhao Yaqin was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"I respect that."

Sun Ji clutched his chest.

"It's over. Great skills, good looks, and great social skills—how are we, the average Resident Physicians, supposed to live?"

Wu Fan said calmly, "You can start by talking less nonsense."

Sun Ji immediately looked at Shen Xiaoning.

"Xiao Ning, judge for yourself, isn't Brother Wu attacking me personally?"

Shen Xiaoning was restocking the rescue cart. Hearing this, she said earnestly, "I think Dr. Wu is right."

Sun Ji was devastated on the spot.

"Is there any humanity left in your Emergency Department now?"

Shen Xiaoning's eyes curved as she smiled.

"There is, with Dr. Lu."

Sun Ji: "..."

Wu Fan: "..."

Zhao Yaqin: "..."

Lu Chen's pen paused.

Shen Xiaoning realized what she said, and her face turned red instantly.

"I, I meant the humanity of a benevolent doctor, not any other meaning!"

Sun Ji immediately got excited.

"Oh, 'benevolent doctor', understood, understood."

Shen Xiaoning glared at him.

"Dr. Sun!"

Sun Ji raised his hands in surrender.

"I'll shut up, I'll shut up."

Lu Chen lowered his head to continue writing the record, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

...

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the subsequent meeting arrangements were cancelled.

News of Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao's departure spread quickly through the Hospital.

Different versions began to circulate.

Some said Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao failed the Puncture on the spot and Lu Chen took over to save the situation.

Some said Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao had just questioned Lu Chen in the Conference Room and was immediately taught a lesson by reality.

Some said Lu Chen's one needle silenced the expert from the Provincial Peoples Hospital on the spot.

Others said Section Chief He Zhongfeng's face turned so green it could serve as a sterile background wall for the Emergency Department.

Gu Bai ran over from the Orthopedics Department to gossip. As soon as he entered the Red Zone, he grabbed Sun Ji.

"Is it true or false? Did Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao really mess up?"

Sun Ji looked very serious.

"Dr. Gu, we are serious doctors; we don't spread unverified news."

Gu Bai was stunned.

"Did you have a change of heart?"

Sun Ji continued, "But if you buy me bubble tea, I can tell you a version that has been artistically processed by me."

Gu Bai cursed.

"You are so realistic."

Sun Ji said calmly, "Learned it from Lu Chen. Getting angry doesn't make money; telling stories can get you bubble tea."

Gu Bai looked at Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, your philosophy has started to pollute the Emergency Department."

Lu Chen didn't even look up.

"That just means the philosophy is advanced."

Gu Bai gave a thumbs up.

"You're still the most shameless."

In the evening, Director Li Sen called Lu Chen to his office.

President Zeng Dayang was also in the office.

After Lu Chen entered, President Zeng Dayang smiled directly.

"Lu Chen, you did a great job today."

"President Zeng."

"Don't be nervous, sit."

Lu Chen sat down.

President Zeng Dayang said, "Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao has already left. Before leaving, he greeted me, and his attitude was much softer than in the morning."

Director Li Sen added.

"He's not soft; he was held down by reality."

President Zeng Dayang laughed out loud.

"Director Li, you are direct enough."

Director Li Sen looked at Lu Chen.

"For that Puncture today, your judgment was faster than mine and more accurate than Associate Chief Physician Chen Minghao's."

Lu Chen said, "The patient with systemic lupus erythematosus had recurrent pericarditis, multiple septations, and rapidly changing windows. Conventional approaches might not be suitable."

President Zeng Dayang listened, his eyes even more satisfied.

"Your paper was just accepted, and now another complex case. Lu Chen, this momentum of yours recently is very good."

Director Li Sen cautioned.

"The momentum is good, but we cannot over-exhaust him."

President Zeng Dayang nodded.

"I know, so I called him here today not to give him tasks, but to tell him something."

Lu Chen looked at him.

President Zeng Dayang said, "Your core journal acceptance, plus these cases in the Emergency Operating Room, the Hospital will consider applying for the in-house youth talent development program for you. Although your professional title is low, you can start preparing the materials."

Lu Chen asked very practically.

"Is there a subsidy?"

President Zeng Dayang was stunned for half a second, then laughed.

"Yes."

Lu Chen nodded immediately.

"Thank you, President Zeng, I will prepare seriously."

Director Li Sen covered his forehead.

"You kid really don't pretend."

President Zeng Dayang laughed even more happily.

"That's good. It's not a bad thing for young people to be pragmatic. The subsidy isn't much, but it will be helpful for subsequent research funding, study opportunities, and professional title materials."

Lu Chen nodded.

"I understand."

Director Li Sen said, "Go back and rest for today. Don't stay up too late tonight. You should also organize the case of that systemic lupus erythematosus patient. This kind of complex pericardial tamponade can be used for future case accumulation."

"Okay."

After leaving the office, Lu Chen returned to the Duty Room.

There were already quite a few messages on his phone.

Shen Yu sent one.

[Shen Yu: Heard from Xiao Ning that you won again today?]

Lu Chen replied.

[Lu Chen: Saved a patient]

Shen Yu replied quickly.

[Shen Yu: Got it, won in the process]

Lu Chen didn't reply again.

Shen Xiaoning's message also came.

[Shen Xiaoning: Dr. Lu, you were really especially handsome today]

[Shen Xiaoning: Not the handsome based on looks, but the kind of handsome that makes people feel at ease when you stand up]

[Shen Xiaoning: Of course, you are also handsome by looks]

[Shen Xiaoning: Did I say too much?]

Lu Chen looked at the screen and replied.

[Lu Chen: Thank you, your cooperation today was also very good]

The other side replied almost instantly.

[Shen Xiaoning: Really!]

[Lu Chen: Really]

[Shen Xiaoning: Then I will bring you food tomorrow!]

[Lu Chen: No need to be too troublesome]

[Shen Xiaoning: Not troublesome, I am no longer a 'fully burnt' contestant now]

[Lu Chen: Semi-burnt advanced version?]

[Shen Xiaoning: You wait, I will definitely let you see what a culinary miracle is]

Lu Chen smiled and put the phone aside.

He opened his computer and began to finish writing today's rescue record and case summary.

The sky outside the window was gradually darkening.

The Emergency Department was still busy.

The sound of monitors in the Red Zone, the footsteps of Nurses, and the anxious inquiries of family members in the distance never stopped.

Lu Chen finished writing the last word, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes for a moment.

Subsequently, the familiar system prompt sounded in his consciousness.
