Chapter 744 - 370: It's Just Not a Live Stream, Right?

July 6th, the scorching sun blazed overhead.

The blistering hot wind swept by, making everyone rush about hurriedly.

Liu Lintao hobbled toward the trauma center from the emergency department parking lot.

"Hello, did you register?"

"Where are you feeling unwell?" A nurse asked busily as he neared the trauma center's nurse station.

Liu Lintao smiled and said, "I'm here for a re-examination with Dr. Lu Cheng. I'm a patient he operated on before, and he told me to come this month without needing to register."

The nurse skeptically replied, "You're a patient of Director Lu's? Here for a re-check? I think I've never seen you before?"

"Yes, Dr. Lu did the surgery before, the limb preservation surgery!" Liu Lintao smiled, showing his teeth.

"My name is Liu Lintao. Is Director Lu working today?"

The nurse said, "Director Lu is working, but he's already in the operating room. Are you here to review a damaged injury?"

"Let me call someone for you..."

The nurse was about to find someone, but Liu Lintao quickly said, "No, no, I'll just wait for Director Lu to finish the surgery."

Liu Lintao didn't want to admit he didn't trust anyone else.

The nurse continued, "It's okay, Director Lu mentioned this morning that if a patient comes for a re-examination, Professor Tong Yuan'an from Xiangya Hospital and Professor Dong Liumeng from the Provincial People's Hospital could help look."

"These two are big experts in the province; they have great skills."

Liu Lintao paused, confused: "Professors from Xiangya Hospital and the Provincial People's Hospital?"

"Yes!" The nurse nodded.

"Hold on a moment."

Liu Lintao quickly waved his hand: "That's not necessary; I'll just wait for Director Lu."

Liu Lintao persisted with his stance.

At this point, he didn't dare to easily trust any titles like director or professor.

If he remembered correctly, when Lu Cheng operated on him, there was a Provincial People's Hospital expert in the emergency department, but that expert wasn't much help either.

The hand surgery and trauma surgery departments had a bunch of directors too, but they weren't of any help either...

"Director Lu went to the operating room; you'll have to wait a long time," the nurse explained.

"I know, I'm not in a hurry. I'll just sit here and play on my phone while I wait," Liu Lintao said.

"Well, alright then..."

"But I still need to let the doctors know." The nurse said and walked towards the doctor's office.

Not long after, Tong Yuan'an came out.

"Hello, you're here to see Lu Cheng for a re-examination, right? Lu Cheng has gone to the operating room. Before he went in, he instructed me to handle your admission procedure directly."

"Your situation requires functional reconstruction," Tong Yuan'an said.

Liu Lintao looked at Tong Yuan'an suspiciously: "And you are?"

"My name is Tong Yuan'an. Lu Cheng did give instructions. He also remembered that you would come for a re-examination in these recent days."

"You seem to be called Liu Linjie, right?" Tong Yuan'an asked.

Liu Lintao, trusting, quickly got up with his wife's support: "My name is Liu Lintao."

"That's right, you're now post-limb preservation surgery, but your functional activity is lacking." Tong Yuan'an also supported Liu Lintao as they headed towards the office.

Once inside, Liu Lintao finally found out Tong Yuan'an's true identity.

"Professor Tong, how long is Dr. Lu's surgery going to take?"

"I still want Dr. Lu to see the specific situation," Liu Lintao said, embarrassed.

Tong Yuan'an immediately realized the other person didn't trust him: "You'll be waiting on the bed just the same..."

"You know Liu Nongqiu and Dr. Dai Linfang, right?"

"You can ask them if it was Director Lu who instructed it?"

For the first time in Xiangzhou, Tong Yuan'an encountered a situation where he was supposed to see a patient but was turned away by the patient.

The patient indeed recognized Dai Linfang: "Dr. Dai, did Director Lu really say that?"

Dai Linfang said, "Yes, Director Lu mentioned it, but he's already in the operating room."

Liu Lintao asked again: "Doctor Dai, if I remember correctly, you and Director Lu were on duty together, and Director Lu went for surgery, so why didn't you go?"

"I'll just wait for Director Lu to come..."

Liu Lintao maintained a very rigorous logical mindset.

Liu Nongqiu couldn't find any flaw in the logic either.

So, Dai Linfang explained with a wry smile: "The operating room where Director Lu is today really can't fit ordinary people like us anymore."

"If it weren't for the limited space in the operating room, there could be hundreds of people squeezed in."

"Now there are already more than twenty people crammed in..."

"They almost got into a fight."

"Huh? Director Lu is really performing surgery?" Liu Lintao was left bewildered.

...

Emergency department, operating room, surgical suite.

Lu Cheng was inexplicably a bit irritable at this time.

Just after performing motion sensation separation anesthesia and ensuring that Mu Nanshu no longer felt pain, Lu Cheng had also calmed Mu Nanshu's nervous emotions.

But as soon as he turned around, someone stepped on his foot.

It didn't hurt, but looking at the dense crowd of heads in the operating room, Lu Cheng really wanted to curse.

"Sorry, Director Lu." The anesthesiologist who stepped on Lu Cheng's foot quickly apologized, both the tone and the eyes sincere.

Lu Cheng knew he was curious about the incredible motion sensation separation anesthesia.

He just wanted a closer look to see the operational details.

"It's alright..."

"Let me out for a moment, please, I need to go wash my hands."

"Please make way... Thank you..." Lu Cheng's voice carried some personal emotions.

Once Lu Cheng's voice was heard, a path automatically formed, allowing him to exit.

After Lu Cheng left, a group of men and women wearing flower caps gathered around, tentatively asking, "Hello, does it hurt here?"
