"Director Li, how is the child?" Chen Yuan asked anxiously as she saw Li Chu withdraw his hand.
This morning, as she was getting ready to go to work, her child suddenly developed a fever, which terrified the reporter.
After such a major surgery, the child's resistance is already low, and even a small problem could easily plunge the child into an irreversible situation.
"It's nothing serious. The child has indigestion. What did you feed the child last night?"
"Uh, the child was a little hungry before going to bed last night, so I steamed a bowl of egg custard for her."
"From now on, if she gets hungry at night, she can drink some formula milk, but it needs to be diluted a bit. She can eat egg custard during the day, but not before bedtime."
"Director Li, does that mean the child doesn't have any major problems?"
"Hmm, it's alright. You carry the child to the bed inside, take off his shirt, and I'll give him a couple of acupuncture points."
Duan Jianing followed the teacher behind the curtain. Although it wasn't the first time she had seen the huge scar running from top to bottom on the child's chest, she was still very sad. Such a young child, not even two years old, had suffered such pain. How unfair fate had been to this lovely child.
"Reporter Xiao Chen, remember what I said. When you get back, make sure your child takes the medicine I prescribed on time. If you're busy with work, talk to your husband... oh, your parents. I think they're the ones who take care of the child when you're at work. It would be best if they came with you next time for a follow-up appointment."

Li Chu spoke to Chen Yuan while giving the child acupuncture.
"I understand, Director Li. I'll have my parents come with me next time."
The child seemed unresponsive to coming to the hospital for treatment, or even getting acupuncture. The long acupuncture needle was inserted into his body, but he didn't cry or fuss; he just blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Chu.
"dad……"
"Oh, little bell, I'm not your father. You should call me grandpa."
"grandfather"
"That's right, Little Bell is great!"
Children speak without thinking, and it's perfectly normal for them to call the wrong person.
But Chen Yuan's heart was stirred when her daughter called out "Dad" just now.
You should know that she had never taught the child the word "father." The child's maternal grandparents already disliked the man who insisted on going abroad while she was heavily pregnant, so it was even less likely that they would teach him.
Where did she learn it? Did she learn it just by hearing a sound?
The needle should remain in place for fifteen minutes. Li Chu turned and walked out from behind the curtain, picked up a medicine bottle from the table where he had been sitting, and went back inside.
"Reporter Xiao Chen, this is the scar removal ointment I prepared for your child. Every night, please wipe your child's body with warm water, especially the sutured scar, and then apply this ointment with a cotton swab. You don't need to apply too much; just spread it evenly."
"Ah, thank you, Director Li."
"You're welcome. I have other things to do. When it's time to remove the needles, let me, the student, do it."
"Thank you so much, Director Li."
"It's alright, Little Bell is my patient. Come and say goodbye to Grandpa."
"Goodbye, Grandpa." Little Bell lay on the hospital bed, raising her little hand and waving twice.
After explaining things to Duan Jianing, Li Chu left the outpatient room and headed towards the inpatient building at the back. Two patients had been sent over from the Second Affiliated Hospital that day, and he wanted to take a look at them first.
Currently, nearly sixty cancer patients have registered with them, mostly with stomach and rectal cancer. This is in line with Li Chu's expectations. He wanted to cover all cancer cases at once, but that was simply impossible. Right now, he is the main person in charge of treatment. The others, including people from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, are here to learn. He wants to increase the speed, but he doesn't want to exhaust himself.
The surgery department has set aside several wards in the revolving door of the second-floor inpatient department. In addition to the four patients who have had surgery, the patients admitted here are five people whose homes are in the surrounding areas of Beijing and who have difficulty going home.
Other patients can leave immediately after treatment and return for a follow-up appointment at the scheduled time.
"Teacher Li, Assistant Zhao said someone is looking for you in the office."
Having just finished prescribing medication for a new patient, Li Chu was sitting in a large office specially set aside for their team, reviewing patient medical records, when Liu Ziqiang walked in and came to his side.
"Okay, I understand. Ziqiang, go ask this trainee named Wang Lin. If his eyesight isn't good, have him see an ophthalmologist first. If he has gender dysphoria, then you can let him apply to go home directly. Such an irresponsible person, and he's a doctor? It's utterly ridiculous."
Li Chu stood up, threw the medical record he was holding at him, and walked out on his own. Liu Ziqiang quickly picked up the medical record that had been thrown on the ground. He had never seen his teacher get so angry.
The large office, which had been a bit noisy just moments before, fell silent instantly.
Liu Ziqiang picked up the medical record and started reading it. His eyes widened as soon as he read the beginning.
This medical record belongs to a patient who came in yesterday. He is a stomach cancer patient, a very proper man, but the gender listed on this medical record is female.
He was able to remember this patient because the patient quickly agreed to surgery after arriving. Now you've even registered the patient's gender incorrectly; this could potentially lead to a medical accident.
No wonder the teacher said such harsh things just now.
"What's wrong, Ziqiang? I just heard Director Li get angry over across the street."
Qiao Dongsheng, the deputy director of surgery, walked in; he was also part of the project team.
"Deputy Director Qiao, this trainee named Wang Lin has registered the patient's gender incorrectly."
Qiao Dongsheng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. How could anyone make such a basic mistake?
He took the medical record from Liu Ziqiang, flipped through two pages, shook his head, and said, "Alright, I'll handle it. This is just too absurd."
The people sitting in the office quickly and carefully examined the medical records they had written.
After leaving the inpatient department, Li Chu let out a soft sigh. He wondered how this kind of person had been selected for further training.
...
"Da Mao? What brings you here today?"
"Brother Chu, I've come to ask you something."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Do you know a reporter named Chen Yuan?"
"Oh, I know her. I just saw her. Her daughter is my patient. What's up?"
"Is this your relationship?"
“Yes, she…” Li Chu suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Xu Damao, what do you mean by that? What do you mean we have this kind of relationship? Otherwise, what do you think my relationship with that reporter is?"
