[...]

[Current skill point balance: 29.8...]

The skill points gained from this surgery were not insignificant, totaling a full eighteen points altogether.

Team members effectively communicated with the 'patient'??

Lu Cheng saw this new entry and found it somewhat intriguing.

This entry had never appeared before.

...

Lying in the emergency department doctors' lounge for a while, Lu Cheng slowly figured out the possible reason.

Here, the "patient" is not actually the real patient in the recovery room and ICU, but rather the patient's family members, such as the patient's immediate family, children, and so on.

Due to the father's sudden illness, causing mental chaos, when Director Lin Qianlong communicated with them, he brought good news to appease their emotions.

The reason this entry had not appeared before is that such rescue activities were mostly unrelated to me...

Of course, the reason it didn't appear when rescuing my own uncle Wei Ying before might be that there were no particularly fragile family members around at the time...

Lu Cheng made a decision in his heart: "This kind of skill point gain is completely random, not a fixed path."

Zhang Tiesheng pushed open the lounge door, headed straight for the bathroom, and after stepping out, he planned to leave in the dark, but heard a light movement on the rest bed.

He knew then that Lu Cheng was not asleep, turned sideways to give Lu Cheng a thumbs-up, and after opening the office door, the light gradually allowed Lu Cheng to clearly see Zhang Tiesheng's gesture.

Zhang Tiesheng had to be on duty, and Lu Cheng needed rest, so Zhang Tiesheng didn't say much out of pragmatism, but his admiration was all in the unspoken.

Lu Cheng closed his eyes again.

After Zhang Tiesheng went out, holding the doorknob, his steps paused slightly, and his eyelids flickered several times before he squinted his eyes, taking a deep breath.

Walking toward the direction of his emergency surgical clinic, he murmured to himself: "Can I still call him Xiao Lu in the future?"

A Xiao Lu who can do tendon sutures is at most the 'sales champ' in the department, a brother who helps me make money, and calling him politely isn't shabby.

But a brother who can save lives and also bring me a lot of direct income, with skills better than mine...

To continue calling Lu Cheng Xiao Lu, whether it's appropriate, has already entered the scope of Zhang Tiesheng's serious consideration.

At least one thing, Zhang Tiesheng has relatives permanently residing in Long County, just in case, but if that eventuality arises.

In such emergency hemorrhagic conditions, Zhang Tiesheng would definitely call Lu Cheng to take action rather than someone else, just based on this point, Lu Cheng is an irreplaceable element.

...

Lu Cheng took a nap, and it wasn't until five o'clock that Zhang Tiesheng woke him again.

Rubbing his face and stepping out of the lounge, the night shift Han Xiaoping in the ward came over upon hearing the sound: "Brother Lu, a case of multiple tendon injuries came in at the clinic, and Brother Zhang really didn't have anywhere to send it, so he called you."

"Some minor traumas came in earlier, and Brother Zhang dispatched them to the specialty department."

Unlike many hospitals, in Long County People's Hospital, even if minor traumas are sent to the specialty department, the specialty department won't say that the emergency department is useless and will take over.

After all, there aren't many patients in the department, and cleaning and suturing are also a source of patients.

Lu Cheng's expression became serious: "Thank you, I'm on surgery duty, if there are minor traumas our department can handle, you should still call me."

"After all, I'm on duty! I'll talk to Brother Zhang later."

When not on duty, Zhang Tiesheng and others would try not to disturb Lu Cheng, so when on duty, Lu Cheng also tried to fulfill his responsibilities well.

The emergency department's patient sources and surgical volume all depend on emergency surgeries to support, small cleaning and suturing, although minor, are also part of the department's "performance."

Indeed, patients also need to be treated.

Lu Cheng had planned to handle the talks and signatures, but unexpectedly, Zhang Tiesheng had already obtained the patient's family members' signatures.

As soon as Lu Cheng arrived, Zhang Tiesheng greeted the patient's family member: "This is Dr. Lu, for tendon injuries, you're looking at the right person."

"Dr. Lu, this is a brother of mine, the injured is his wife."

"Hello, Dr. Lu." The young man across from Zhang Tiesheng stood up, welcoming with a smile: "When Tiesheng was drinking, he mentioned he had a brother with particularly good skills, I guess that must be you, Dr. Lu."

"I remembered it because I run a small factory, and this time my wife was cut by a machine..."

Lu Cheng also politely stepped forward and asked: "Hello, how is your wife doing now?"

Zhang Tiesheng replied: "I asked her to have an X-ray, afraid there might be a fracture."

"Her mom accompanied her, and I'm chatting with Liu Long here, while taking care of the paperwork to save time."

"Hey, Lu Cheng, Liu Long is a good brother of mine, if suitable later, try to use some high-quality sutures."

"Don't skimp to save money."

After saying that, Zhang Tiesheng looked at Liu Long: "Tendon suturing isn't the same as general suturing, if the suture quality is poor, the post-operative recovery will be more suffering."

Upon hearing this, Liu Long understood Zhang Tiesheng's intention: "Dr. Lu, it's okay, go ahead and use the best sutures, you don't have to worry about the cost."

Lu Cheng stroked his chin: "Brother Liu, since you mentioned it, I'll definitely use high-quality sutures, but you also know the general environment here."
