It took Su Jie and Li Minghui almost a quarter of an hour to walk to the General Surgery Department.

In just a quarter of an hour, the fuel tank of the two people was exhausted, and their domineering steps became sluggish. Their footsteps were sloppy, their eyes were distracted, and their true colors were revealed as working dogs who stayed up late.

Li Minghui kept blinking his eyes, wiping tears, and complained: "Grandma, I'm really old. I used to go shopping with my wife after working the night shift. Now I can't even see the road clearly even if I take two steps after the night shift."

However, they had already arrived at the general surgery department, so they decided to take a look at the patient, eat breakfast and go to bed quickly after that, which didn't waste much time.

Unfortunately, the handover of the general surgery department was not over yet, and the door to the doctor's office was closed. Su Jie and Li Minghui looked through the glass window at the boss who was reporting on the situation in the ward. Director Miao's face was gloomy, and he patted the table hard. The medical records on the table were all

He was so shocked that he jumped up.

Today's morning shift in the general surgery department seems to be going very poorly. The shift in the emergency department has been over for more than 20 minutes, but the shift in the general surgery department is still going on. It seems that Director Miao's anger will not go away for a while.

"Don't wait any longer. Just look at the patient. After that, go back to sleep. I'm so sleepy."

Li Minghui said while yawning, tears streaming down his face.

Su Jie wasn't that sleepy at first, but Li Minghui kept yawning next to him, which made him yawn all the time, and his eyes began to feel sore and shed tears, so he said: "Ask the nurse, look at the patient and then go, Mr. Li

Can you please stop yawning, it’s contagious!”

"What you're saying is like saying, 'Can you stop being so poor?' If I could control it, I, I wouldn't want to either." Li Minghui explained, yawning again.

The two found a nurse and asked where the appendicitis patient who had an emergency last night lived now. The nurse seemed to have just come to work. She turned on the computer and searched for beds before saying: "Seven beds."

"Okay, thank you."

The two turned and walked towards the seventh bed.

Just as he was approaching the ward, Li Minghui suddenly pointed forward: "Huh? Isn't that the little girl from last night?"

Su Jie followed the direction of his finger and saw that it was indeed the little girl from the group of one old and one young last night. She was still wearing the jacket and cotton slippers from the emergency department. She was walking with her head down, looking a little preoccupied.

The two of them hurriedly followed, but the little girl walked too fast and had already entered the ward in a blink of an eye. The two of them immediately pushed the door open and entered the ward.

The two people, who had been yawning continuously and feeling sleepy, opened the door of the ward and saw the scene in the room.

The little girl was sitting on a chair with her back to the two of them. She was so lost in thought that she didn't seem to notice that someone was following her into the ward.

On the hospital bed, the old man who suffered from acute appendicitis last night was lying quietly on the bed, his eyes closed tightly, his brows slightly wrinkled, and his face turned pale.

What made the two of them a little confused was that the old man did not have an analgesic pump or a drainage bag, and there was no sign at the end of the bed indicating no food or drink after surgery. It looked like there was no emergency surgery last night.

There are obviously indications for emergency appendicitis surgery, so how come one night has passed and the surgery has not been performed?

Their eyes continued to move to the bed, and what surprised them even more was that a middle-aged man and woman were sitting on the chairs next to them.

The two of them were dressed very strangely. They were both dressed in black clothes, as black as ink, without any patterned accessories on them. They didn't look like clothes from the earthly world.

Their faces were pale, with heavy dark circles under their eyes, and the women were wearing blood-red lipstick.

Realizing that someone had entered the ward, they moved in a coordinated but slightly stiff manner, raised their heads, turned their heads, and looked at the two of them.

This feeling... made Su Jie couldn't help but think of Hong Kong zombie movies.

The middle-aged man and woman were obviously looking towards the door, but the little girl with her back to the door still didn't respond. She was still looking forward, as if she couldn't feel the presence of the middle-aged man and woman beside her at all.

Same.

Su Jie could even hear Li Minghui swallowing hard at this time.

"Who are you?" Su Jie looked at the middle-aged man and woman and asked.

The man raised his head and pointed at the little girl and replied: "Her parents."

The sleepiness that swept over them after the night shift disappeared in an instant. Su Jie and Li Minghui felt a chill on their backs and took a step back in tacit agreement.

Li Minghui almost blurted out: "Aren't his parents dead? Are you humans or ghosts?!"

At this moment, the door behind him suddenly opened, and Li Minghui was so frightened that he screamed. The manager of the general surgery department who walked in was also frightened, and roared: "What are you calling so early in the morning!"

Seeing the two people working the night shift in the emergency department, the general surgery manager frowned and looked at the little girl again. He seemed to understand the purpose of the two people coming here. He snorted and stopped blaming the two.

.

Then he turned to look at the two middle-aged men and women who didn't know whether they were humans or ghosts, and said in a bad tone: "The director wants to talk to you, go to the office."

The middle-aged man and woman did not say a word, but stood up from the chair feebly, like two ghosts, sliding close to the ground toward the doctor's office.

Su Jie noticed that from beginning to end, the old man on the hospital bed did not open his eyes. His back was to the little girl at the door, and his eyes were always looking forward.

"What's going on? Aren't his parents dead? Are these her parents? Did the child lie?"

Li Minghui pulled the general surgery manager out of the ward and asked with a frown. Su Jie followed him out and gently closed the ward door with his backhand.

"This is a bit complicated."

The CEO of the general surgery department turned dark, rubbed his chicken coop-like hair, and complained: "Your emergency department really gave us a big trouble!"

"complex?"

Li Minghui asked in confusion: "What do you mean? And I see that this patient has not undergone surgery. The indications for emergency surgery for appendicitis are already obvious. Why didn't you do the surgery quickly last night? What are you waiting for?"

The boss of the general surgery department also felt suppressed and couldn't express his anger, so he said: "This is not the place to talk, go to the rest room."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Minghui and Su Jie were completely sleepless at this time, and the gas tank was filled again because of the shock just now. They followed the general surgery manager to the lounge and waited for the other party to give them a

Reasonable reply.

As soon as he entered the lounge and sat down, the general surgery manager began to explain:

"Those two middle-aged men and women, the woman is the old man's daughter, and they are also the parents of the little girl."

"However, the two of them have other identities. They are habitual drug offenders. They are still in the compulsory drug rehabilitation period. They have basically failed to fulfill their responsibilities of supporting the elderly and raising the next generation. The elderly and children have been living together, and they are resistant to the couple.

Very big.”

"Last night, the old man was indeed indicated for emergency surgery, but the couple who came in a hurry refused to sign the consent form for the surgery. In addition, the old man's physical condition was not suitable for surgery, so for the time being, he could only receive conservative treatment and wait for the director.

Only when you come can you take the next step.”

Su Jie puzzled: "The old man's situation is so urgent. Do you still have to wait for the director to come to solve it? If the family members don't sign, can the emergency surgery not be performed? Besides, the old man is conscious now. Can't he just sign by himself?"

The consent form for surgery can be signed by the patient himself. If he is unable to sign, then the patient's close adult relative can sign the consent form. However, if an emergency occurs and life is in danger and immediate surgery is required, it is also necessary to obtain the consent of the person in charge of the medical institution or the authorized person.

Surgery can be performed immediately.

Therefore, it is impossible to have a clinical scene where the patient is almost dead and the doctor is still holding a piece of paper and looking for someone to sign it.

That's just a mindless plot set up by a third-rate TV show to increase drama and conflict.

Li Minghui continued: "Surgical treatment is the first choice for acute appendicitis. The results of conservative treatment are basically unsatisfactory, and the time is too long. Once appendicitis develops gangrene or perforation, it will probably be very painful given this old man's age!"

The CEO of the General Surgery Department sighed. He could be said to be the person most familiar with the emergency surgery procedures for appendicitis in the entire hospital. How could he not know what Su Jie and Li Minghui said.

But in fact, if all clinical patients could strictly follow the process, there would not be so many regrets, so many disputes, and so many grievances.
