The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2443 2443: Anomaly in the Operating Room

Chen Ruchang’s surgery ended around seven in the evening and was pushed back to the ward at eight.

He woke up around ten o’clock.

Just waking up from anesthesia, Chen Ruchang’s thinking was not what it used to be.

The doctor instructed that Chen Ruchang needed to recuperate quietly, but right after waking up from anesthesia, he couldn’t be allowed to sleep, he had to be awakened.

Thus, Chen Yining and Chen Yijing took turns staying by Chen Ruchang’s bedside.

They wanted to tell Chen Ruchang about the situation, but since he hadn’t fully regained consciousness, they couldn’t.

It wasn’t until around two in the morning that Chen Ruchang was fully awake.

However, he was still very sleepy, and his mind wasn’t quite right, speaking somewhat incoherently.

Chen Yining stayed by Chen Ruchang’s bedside until two-thirty before going to rest.

During this time, he talked to Chen Ruchang about some things, but Chen Ruchang didn’t have much reaction.

Seeing this, Chen Yining had to give up on the idea of discussing those things with Chen Ruchang.

At two-thirty, Chen Yijing, who had gone to rest first, came to take over from Chen Yining, staying by Chen Ruchang’s side.

Originally, it wasn’t necessary for Chen Yining and Chen Yijing to stay by his side. In such a high-end ward, the hospital staff would take full responsibility for these care tasks. But the brothers stayed to show their filial piety.

Of course, they weren’t just trying to show filial piety, they wanted to discuss the matter with the old man as soon as Chen Ruchang woke up.

However, due to the effects of anesthesia, Chen Ruchang wasn’t very clear-headed the whole night, and the brothers didn’t have a proper exchange with him.

Around three in the morning, after being awake for several hours and checked by the doctor, Chen Ruchang was allowed to sleep.

He fell asleep a while later, and slept very peacefully.

However, the operating room at 401 Hospital was still busy tonight.

401 Hospital is one of the top hospitals in Huaxia, very large in scale, with many patients being admitted and discharged daily, and many surgical patients every day. The staff size in the anesthesia operating room is also very large.

In ordinary third-level hospitals, roughly provincial-level hospitals, the number of staff in the anesthesia and operating department is already very large, basically exceeding a hundred people. In an anesthesia and operating department the size of 401 Hospital, the staff is even more than two hundred.

Some small hospitals don’t even have this many staff.

With more staff, it’s impossible for everyone to be so familiar with one another, and the anesthesia operating room is a very special department. Most people wear hats and masks during work, showing only a bit of their face, even if you look carefully, you may not be able to recognize the person standing opposite you.

Moreover, there are many night shifts in the anesthesia operating room, and many people don’t even encounter each other after starting work, so after working in the same department for years, they don’t know each other at all. It’s not just the anesthesia operating room, some large departments also have this situation.

Staff from different units, even in the same department, remain strangers after years of working together.

There are also many people on night shift in the anesthesia department, with more than thirty official staff, plus some orderlies.

Due to some temporary additional surgical patients this afternoon, some staff who should have ended their shift were forced to stay on.

A team leader responsible for operating rooms six to ten discovered during an inspection that a nurse had violated operational rules by entering another operating room in progress. Although the nurse immediately withdrew and claimed that she mistakenly entered the wrong room due to busyness, the team leader responsible for inspections realized the severity of the situation.

Because the nurse inadvertently intruded into an operating room for a special patient and even took the liberty of assisting.

This was a serious violation of operational procedures, so the team leader immediately reported the situation to the deputy director of the department on duty tonight.

After checking the surveillance in the operating room, the department deputy found that such a situation did indeed occur.

However, it was impossible to identify which nurse entered the wrong room through the surveillance.

When questioned, all the night duty nurses claimed no mistakes were made.

This situation angered the deputy director on duty and the patrolling team leader.

But they didn’t want to escalate the matter, as taking it to the hospital level could result in punishments for the department leaders and those on duty tonight. Punishments would not only involve fines but could also affect promotional opportunities.

After a thorough investigation without discovering any anomalies and no accident occurred, they decided to temporarily conceal the matter.

They planned to clarify through surveillance and privately question the nurse unwilling to publicly admit the mistake.

But the operating room nurses wore such rigorous protective gear that the nurse was always lowering her head when passing through monitored areas.

Most other nurses also lowered their heads when passing by surveillance, probably unwilling for their faces to appear in the video. The two examined for a long time but couldn’t determine who it was, feeling quite frustrated.

Upon a detailed inspection, finding no abnormalities nor any resulting accidents, they decided to conceal the matter.

After all, since nothing happened, everyone should save themselves trouble, avoiding accountability if issues arose.

Luo Ziling left after chatting with Yang Qingyin, Ouyang Feifei, Luo Yuqing, and others for a long time as it was already one o’clock in the morning.

When he left, Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan also returned to their rooms to sleep.

Back at his tent, Luo Ziling received a message from Yang Qingyin.

“Today really scared me to death!” Yang Qingyin didn’t hide her fear in the message, “Especially when I saw the explosion, my heart was almost jumping out. I was so afraid of seeing you blown into pieces. Thankfully, I saw you bouncing around, lively.”

“I’ve got a tough life!” Luo Ziling replied to Yang Qingyin in a jocular manner: “No one can kill me, those who want to still don’t believe in fate!”

“I hope we won’t encounter such things again in the coming days.” Yang Qingyin still had lingering fear.

“For the foreseeable future, there will definitely be a lot of police here. With the uncles in blue protecting us, we’ll certainly be much safer.”

“Let’s hope so!”

The two talked for a long time, until after two o’clock, when Yang Qingyin finally said she was tired and wanted to sleep.

Luo Ziling also put down his phone to sleep.

Before sleeping, Luo Ziling received a message from Wuyue.

“Mission preliminarily completed, let’s see the aftermath!”

Wuyue’s message made Luo Ziling’s heart skip a few beats.

However, he didn’t send a message or call Wuyue to inquire about it.

Because he knew that in a few days, they would return to the Northwest.

Luo Ziling was very curious about what Wuyue meant by preliminarily completed, and how they achieved it.

He planned to ask them thoroughly when they returned.
