A Spoiled Child

The rest of the morning was uneventful.

In the afternoon, Zheng Ren received a call about a patient in the emergency department that required his attention.

He rushed to the emergency department. The patient awaiting him for consultation was a middle-aged woman with a provisional diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

The System confirmed the diagnosis.

There was nothing left to do but to admit her to the ward. Whether she would undergo emergency surgery tonight, or do so tomorrow to ensure sufficient fasting, her medical history had to be taken before any decision could be made.

Zheng Ren instructed a nurse to bring in a wheelchair to send the patient to the emergency ward.

The patient was curled up on the bed, unescorted, in the general surgery consultation room. She seemed pitiful, having to seek surgical treatment alone.
