Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 2024: Turning Cold
"Let the young ones do the work, don’t push yourself too hard, otherwise you’ll just cause trouble for everyone."
"Got it, got it." Li Xiaobing waved her hand, optimistic and confident.
After the teachers left, Xie Wanying saw her senior sister standing and said, "Sister, please have a seat."
"No, I’ll take a shower while you guys are here," Li Xiaobing replied. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Hearing this, Xie Wanying followed her senior sister into the room to get clothes and then helped run hot water in the bathroom.
Song Xueling was in the kitchen washing dishes alone.
Glancing back and seeing Talented Scholar Song doing household chores, Li Xiaobing felt quite embarrassed and said to her younger junior, "Dr. Song doesn’t need to do these things at his own home. You don’t have to watch over me, let Dr. Song watch TV. You help me put the dishes away, my husband will wash them when he gets back."
What the senior sister said was true, Dr. Song, being from a wealthy family, didn’t need to do this kind of work. After ensuring her senior sister was safely in the bathroom, Xie Wanying went back to the kitchen to help, vigorously rolling up her sleeves on both sides: "Dr. Song, let me."
The dishes were mostly done, only the pot and kitchen counter needed tidying. Someone not used to doing housework might wash dishes even more thoroughly. Xie Wanying picked up a bowl washed by Dr. Song, it was shiny, as if it had been newly glazed, very beautiful.
Just then, Song Xueling heard the phone ringing in his briefcase. He dried his hands and went out to the living room to answer it.
"Where are you?" Huang Zhilei asked.
Senior colleague never goes to the temple of the Three Treasures without reason. Song Xueling thought for a moment and answered, "I’m not at home."
"Are you far from the hospital? We are so busy in the operating room that we can’t get away. A patient just admitted from the emergency department needs someone to check on them. If you’re nearby, please come to the hospital to help," Huang Zhilei said.
In fact, if they weren’t genuinely overwhelmed, the doctors on duty at the hospital would never want to ask colleagues to come back. Medical staff rarely get to rest at home, calling everyone back to the hospital like this would wear them out sooner or later.
Without another word, Song Xueling picked up his briefcase and prepared to return to the hospital to help. As he left, he stopped by the kitchen to inform Xie Wanying, "I’m heading out now, Dr. Xie. If anything comes up, call the hospital phone."
"Okay, okay." Xie Wanying replied readily, fully understanding, and said, "Dr. Song, you go ahead and get busy, no worries."
With his briefcase slung over his shoulder, Song Xueling opened the door.
They might not have felt it while inside, but the moment the door opened, the wind outside became apparent. After a sunny day, snowflakes began to fall again in the evening, accompanied by strong winds.
It’s indeed impossible to expect the weather to warm up immediately. This weather wasn’t yet at its coldest. The situation during the day was just a small tease from the heavens.
This explains why the sound of ambulance sirens speeding nonstop on the streets outside was becoming more frequent.
Elderly and frail individuals are most afraid of sudden temperature changes; their blood vessels may rapidly constrict under strong stimulation, causing a rupture. This is likely the situation for the patient admitted to the neurosurgery emergency; if a vessel bursts, the condition is critical and may require an emergency craniotomy to drain. Ordinary on-duty doctors might not be able to handle it, so Senior Huang had no choice but to call him back.
Moreover, the moment the door opened, the strong wind from outside rushed into the house. Whoosh, this wind was like a rampaging tornado, blowing the lighter items on the coffee table right to the floor.
