Chapter 787: Just Get It Removed

“It looks good.”

“I’ll poke you a little. Do you feel pain?”

“Of course, I do!” Chen Xiaowang was so mad that he scolded his colleagues, but it just caused him to feel sore and in pain. Therefore, he quickly calmed down and laid down on his back, “Stop teasing me. In another nine hours, I’ll need to go to work. If my wound tears, I will scold you.”

The colleagues who surrounded the bed naturally ignored Chen Xiaowang. They still walked around while thinking about how to poke Chen Xiaowang to be sure of his condition.

Chen Xiaowang narrowed his eyes. He did not even watch the television, which was close to him. While he was on guard against his colleagues, he felt smug.

“Old Chen, you’re grinning so widely you look like the Joker. Did you put a knife to your own mouth, Old Chen?” Old Piao came again today. He recorded a few data and played in front of the bed. He looked at Chen Xiaowang and felt slightly envious.

Chen Xiaowang raised his head and chuckled. “Next time, I shall be called ‘illness-free person’. Those with sicknesses, don’t come close to me.”

Old Piao scoffed. “Let me list out the sicknesses you will get. Let’s go top to bottom, yeah? Hair loss, dry eye syndrome, rhinitis, pharyngitis, being a henpecked husband—”

“Hey, hey, you need to draw the baseline correctly. Look at your conscience and tell me, are these illnesses for a programmer? ”

Old Piao was speechless when he heard Chen Xiaowang’s words, and he found himself agreeing to him slightly.

“Now, it’s not considered slander if I call you a coward, right?” A programmer beside them joined the conversation. He raised his hand and said, “I’ll make a declaration here, I don’t have dry eye syndrome.”

“I don’t have it too. I only have trachoma.”

“I have conjunctivitis.” This person stared at Chen Xiaowang and asked, “How do you feel?”

“Quite good. I don’t feel anything special. I guess I’m in slight pain, but I can still stand it.” Chen Xiaowang described it in detail.

The programmer who mentioned that he had conjunctivitis thought for a few seconds before he turned around and quietly took out his phone.

Ten seconds later, the pink-eyed programmer shouted, “Bro, this is so unfair! Didn’t we agree to roll dice and get surgery one by one? Now all of you have taken leave? What about dice? Are we not rolling dice now?”

The programmers in the ward all laughed.

“Wei Kang, which day is your leave?” Old Piao took a glance around at the others and knew they had applied for leave in the company, just like him.

The company could still approve their two-and-a-half-day leave, where the weekend was included in the leave. Naturally, the company would not allow them to take leave en masse, even when there were a lot of people who wanted to apply for two-and-a-half-day leave, they needed to queue up.

And if they could not get it at the first batch, they might need to wait for the second week.

“I took this week.” Someone who queued up early was proud.

“I took next week.”

“I took next week too.”

The programmers in the ward basically queued up within the first and second weeks. There were not many people who wanted to do this since the beginning, anyway, and there were even fewer people who knew about the news.

“I really have conjunctivitis.” Wei Kang, who was the only one queuing on the third week, was so mad that he felt that his hair was about to fall off. “I’ve had enteritis for a few years. Hey, we gotta queue according to the severity of illness, right?”

“First come first serve.”

“There’s no talk about severity when a person is sick, you know? Is your enteritis more severe than my appendicitis? I need to remove the whole appendix to treat my appendicitis. If you dare remove your intestines, I will give up my place for you.”

“We’re still unsure of the outcome, so why are you fighting over each other now? What if Old Chen dies of complications tomorrow? What should we do if all of you take leave?”

The room was in a mess now, but it was also because everyone was too bored and too anxious.

Chen Xiaowang felt he was cursed, even though he was innocent, so he just smiled. “Did all of you ask Doctor Ling about what surgery he performs, and what surgery he doesn’t perform?”

When they heard this from him, the temperature in the room instantly dropped.

A few seconds later, Old Piao nodded slightly. “Hearing this from Old Chen makes me believe that his intelligence has recovered.”

“I think so too. His face is in a healthy shade of red as well, and he looks like he can work now.”

“We need to give him more work later.”

“Doctor Ling can perform appendectomy, cholecystectomy, hepatectomy, knee arthroplasty, Achilles tendon repair, finger replantation, treat bone fractures…” A young nurse hiding at the corner suddenly said, and the atmosphere in the room became cold once more. She said, “You have ten more minutes of visitation time in the special care unit.”

The special care unit was renovated from a normal ward. It contained two or three beds in a room, and there were nurses taking care of the patients at all times. The patients were given special care similar to the standards in the ICU, but the care they provided was not as complete as the ICU, and they did not have such high standards of protection like the ICU. Naturally, its price was much lower. In Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center, when patients with hepatectomy first came out from the ICU, they would be transferred into the special care unit for a few days before they were transferred into a normal ward.

Chen Xiaowang was sent into the special care unit, and it also meant that the nursing care he received was upgraded. In fact, since the nursing team was given to him, they had designed more plans for the perioperative period and arranged more manpower for it.

The patient’s family and colleagues would not offend the nurse. At this time, they were all smiling.

Someone asked in a show of concern, “What do you mean that he only performs appendectomy and the others that you mentioned? Is Doctor Ling not willing to treat other positions of the body or something else?”

“Have you ever heard of any doctor who can perform every surgery?” The young nurse cackled as if she was a cat laughing at her human slave.

All of them nodded as if they understood but did not want to understand.

“He doesn’t handle enteritis? Enteritis is similar to appendicitis. ” Wei Kang gnashed his teeth and looked like a husky who was beaten up.

“Doctor Ling doesn’t handle enteritis. ” The young nurse nodded confidently and said, “Enteritis is within the field of general surgery, you need to look for them.”

“They can’t even promise us a seven-day recovery.” Wei Kang pursed his lips.

The young nurse did not continue to speak. The recovery of intestines was more troublesome. If she said anything wrong, it would be very easy for others to complain about her.

“Please help us ask Doctor Ling about this. If I still don’t queue up, I’m scared that I may not be able to queue up ever again.” Wei Kang covered his tummy with his hands.

“Doctor Ling really doesn’t treat enteritis. If you’re really not okay, you should think of a way to take leave,” the young nurse said as she shook her head, “From what I know, the only other surgery Doctor Ling performed that I didn’t mention just now is hemorrhoid surgery, which he did in Brazil.”

“I also have hemorrhoids.” Wei Kang’s eyes lit up, but he began doubting himself in an instant. ‘What am I proud of?’

Old Piao chuckled. “That’s great, you can get your hemorrhoids treated as well, and you can have your worries settled.”

“What kind of hemorrhoids do you have? Mine is mixed hemorrhoids. I should be able to get it removed, right?”

“Remove it. It’d be the best to remove it all at once.”

The atmosphere in the room became agitated, and everyone was excited.

“Visiting hours are over. Patient’s family and colleagues, please leave.” The young nurse acted as if she took a look at her watch, then she chased out the group of hemorrhoids infected people.

The people were not bothered by her actions. But they did give their blessings to Chen Xiaowang when they were about to leave.

“Take care of yourself.”

“Tell us if you don’t feel well.”

“Sleep more today. Don’t play with your phone. Get well soon.”

Chen Xiaowang answered weakly. When they left, he complained to the young nurse, “Why didn’t you mention earlier that hemorrhoid surgery was available? I can just get it removed too.”
