Chapter 524: Morning Sickness Without Pregnancy

“It’s normal for such a situation to occur after the surgery. If there are no improvements, we should pay attention to what went wrong,” Zheng Ren said calmly.
Su Yun looked at Professor Rudolf Wagner and then at Zheng Ren. The two of them were talking about two things that were essentially the same.
Su Yun shrugged and said, “Let’s go, boss. The shift is over.”
“Lil Fugui, there are a few surgeries today. Accompany me for them,” Zheng Ren said.
“Boss, you aren’t interested in world-class scientific research and instead, you’re wasting your energy on these small surgeries. Your logic confuses me.”
Zheng Ren smiled and did not say anything. He put out the cigarette butt and doused it with tap water before throwing it into the big, black trash bag.
“The boss is using us as free labor. Haven’t you noticed that already?” Su Yun said from behind the professor.
“I didn’t.” Professor Rudolf Wagner hesitated for a moment before saying, “If there’s another chance to learn world-class surgery like this, you must call me, Brother Yun.”
Su Yun was speechless.
What the professor said was right, but when these sorts of things occurred, he would usually be oblivious to all other details and forget. Especially Zheng Ren, who was always focused on treating patients and saving lives. He was so enthused about helping others that he did not even care about his own wellbeing… Besides, he rarely ate on a regular basis.
After the shift change, ward rounds, and tour of the emergency observation room, Professor Rudolf Wagner had already prepared a list for the patients with liver malignant tumors when Zheng Ren went on the operating stage.
The patient’s intellectual fiancé had been waiting at the operating theatre’s door. When Zheng Ren arrived, he squeezed in with him.
He stuffed a thick red packet into Zheng Ren’s hand.
While playing a game of push and pull with each other, Zheng Ren realized that his improved physical fitness given by the System was now playing a huge role.
A man in his twenties who was in good health and sincerely trying to stuff a red packet into his hands was just like a baby chick in front of him. He had no ability to resist.
Could it be that the improvement in his physical fitness was just to reject the red packet? Zheng Ren pondered this as he pushed the patient’s family member out of the operating theater.
He himself was also helpless in front of Zheng Ren.
Chief Zheng looked quiet and gentle. Who would have thought he would have such great strength.
He helplessly put away the red packet and asked curiously, “Chief Zheng, I saw a foreigner head in first earlier on. What happened?”
“Oh, that German professor is here to learn how to do surgery.” After Zheng Ren said this, he pushed him out.
The operating theater door closed with a ‘bang’.
However, the loud sound could not awaken such a confused soul.
Although he had strong knowledge, memory, and logical reasoning skills, he still could not understand what kind of surgery a German professor was here to learn.
When he heard Zheng Ren enter, Professor Rudolf Wagner shouted, “Hey boss, wash your hands first.”
Zheng Ren put on his lead apron, washed his hands, and went on the operating stage.
To Zheng Ren, this kind of difficult surgery was as easy as doing appendicitis.
The surgery was completed extremely quickly. Within the morning, all three surgeries were finished.
The professor was not surprised. His boss had personally performed the surgery so it was natural for it to be done so quickly. In fact, there would have been an issue if it actually took too much time.
After finishing the last stage for two of the TIPS surgery, Zheng Ren went to change his clothes before his cellphone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was from Chief Kong at the Capital.
Zheng Ren quickly picked up the call.
“Hello, Chief Kong.” A smile appeared on Zheng Ren’s face. “I was just thinking about giving you a call.”
“Oh, is that so? It’s such good timing then. I’ll pick you up at the airport later.
“Okay, I’ll see you then.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
At this moment, Chief Kong wanted to fly to Sea City, surprising Zheng Ren.
However, Chief Kong did not state the reason for his visit. He just told Zheng Ren that he wanted to meet up and talk with him.
He told him he would tell him his reason when he saw him. Zheng Ren did not want to guess what was going on.
When he returned to the emergency ward, Zheng Ren’s phone rang again before he could sit down.
He was always so busy… Zheng Ren felt helpless.
When he saw that it was from the emergency department, Zheng Ren’s heart started palpitating.
“Okay, I’ll go down and take a look.” Zheng Ren did not say anything. He only spoke after the other party finished briefing him on the patient’s medical history.
Su Yun raised his head and glanced at Zheng Ren. He asked, “Boss, what’s the matter? Is it a difficult and complicated illness?”
“There’s a patient who has vomited. His HCG is a weak positive, and his vomiting is very intense,” Zheng Ren told him.
“He’s going to the obstetrics and gynecology department to be hospitalized. Do you even need to make a trip there?” Su Yun berated him harshly.
“The thing is that the obstetrics and gynecology department won’t accept the patient after seeing their test results.” Zheng Ren also felt very helpless. “The ultrasound shows that she’s not pregnant.”
Su Yun was stunned for a moment but immediately became interested. “Let’s go, boss. Let’s go take a look.”
Seeing Su Yun’s attitude change completely, Zheng Ren could feel the flames of gossip in the depths of his heart already burning.
The two of them went straight to the emergency department. Outside the resuscitation room, they saw the emergency physician explaining something to the patient’s family.
“What’s wrong?” Zheng Ren walked in and asked.
“Chief Zheng, you’re finally here,” the emergency physician complained. “This is the patient’s examination report. There’s nothing much else to say about it. There are already more than twenty patients lined up over there. I have to hurry. Otherwise, someone will complain about me later.”
Zheng Ren nodded. The emergency physician ran back to the consultation room like a gust of wind.
He first took a look at the patient. It was a young female patient around 20 years old. She was lying on a rescue bed… Or well, she should have been lying on the rescue bed but her head sticking out of the headboard as she retched violently.
The System’s panel on the upper right side of his vision was a healthy green color. There was not even a diagnosis.
If this had happened in the past, Zheng Ren would have suspected that the System was currently undergoing a power outage, short-circuiting, or something unexpected had happened.
However, Zheng Ren chose to stand by the System’s diagnosis this time around.
The patient was very healthy, but what was with the vomiting?
He glanced at the test sheet. The urine early pregnancy test was a weak positive, indicating that the patient was in the early stages of pregnancy.
There were no abnormalities in the various tests and laboratory indicators. She seemed as healthy as one could be.
The ultrasound was not done in a negative manner. Instead, it was done in the abdomen.
The report indicated that there were no signs of a fertilized egg in the pelvic cavity or the uterus. In other words, the patient was not pregnant.
Zheng Ren held the test sheet in his hand as he pondered about this. A woman who was not even in her fifties quietly tugged at Zheng Ren’s white coat and said in a low voice, “Doctor, let’s talk outside.”
“You’re…” Zheng Ren asked in a low voice as he walked out of the emergency room with the female family member.
When Zheng Ren saw the ultrasound report, he already had his own assumptions. When he saw the look on the family member’s face, he became even more certain of his diagnosis.
The two of them walked out of the emergency room. The woman sighed first before saying, “Doctor, I’m her mother. My daughter is definitely not pregnant. I’m sure of this.”
“Huh?” Zheng Ren Meng ran recalled the mother and daughter who refused to conduct a urine test for early pregnancy not long ago.
“She said she’s pregnant, but I didn’t believe her. I did my own check and it isn’t broken yet,” the patient’s mother said reluctantly.
