Chapter 979 -981: Shifting Responsibility (Extra for Monthly Ticket Support)
After handling his matters, Chen Cang did not linger.
After leaving the area, Chen Cang directly drove to a bank to deposit some money.
After all, carrying so much cash was not useful; it was better to deposit it, and, having saved enough money, he could also learn from Mr. Tu and buy a courtyard house.
Although this dream was hard to achieve…
By the time he returned to the hospital, it was already past 5 p.m.
The sky had started drizzling.
People say that spring rain is as gentle as butter, but looking at the grey sky, Chen Cang could only say that the capital’s spring rain might be even “butterier.”
If not for this rain, Chen Cang would not have remembered that it was almost Qingming.
Although the hospital did not take holidays, for those attending training there, it was comparatively relaxed.
But this year, Chen Cang could not take the time to go back; his schedule for the month was packed.
Rain, like snow, did not have much effect on the emergency department.
After all, an emergency is an emergency, focused on urgent care and rescue—who would care about the weather? This was fundamentally different from outpatient services.
Yang Jie looked at the weather outside and muttered, “Rain every Qingming, Du Mu must not have been a poet but an astronomer.”
Chen Cang was taken aback, “Why?”
Yang Jie said matter-of-factly, “‘During Qingming time, the rain falls in abundance!'”
Chen Cang, after arriving, did not rush to change clothes but ordered a meal to prepare for the night shift.
It was important not to wait until after the shift to eat, as that was when others were also off work, which could coincide with peak crowd times.
Chen Cang had just thrown the takeaway box into the trash and stepped out of the duty room when he heard the sound of an ambulance.
He straightened his clothes and hurriedly walked forward.
The afternoon shift doctor, Li Yue, had not left yet and also walked towards the sound.
An old man, about seventy or eighty years old, was brought in from the ambulance.
Accompanied by him was a couple in their thirties.
Upon seeing this, Li Yue quickly gestured to Yang Jie to bring over a stretcher, moving the patient onto it while simultaneously starting to gather the patient’s medical history.
The paramedic who had accompanied them obviously knew Li Yue and, upon seeing him, breathed a sigh of relief.
After the old man was brought into the emergency room, he spoke anxiously, “The old man’s condition is a bit special, Li Yue, be cautious. In the last six months, he’s been in an ambulance three times already, and coincidentally, it was always me!”
Li Yue and Chen Cang couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and helplessness.
However, the paramedic continued, “Twice it was because of abdominal pain, but no cause could be found. After reviewing the previous examination results in the ambulance, I also found it strange—I think you should investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, it’s too much suffering for him, three to four times in half a year! Oh…”
Even the paramedic felt deep sympathy by this point.
Following that, he briefly stated the old man’s condition:
“Patient, male, 77 years old, has had abdominal pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting for two days, and increasing pain in the abdominal bloating for one day. The patient claims no prior gastrointestinal history—non-smoker and non-drinker. Physical examination shows moderate tenderness in the upper abdomen…”
“Electrocardiogram normal, blood pressure normal, nothing else observed, I still consider acute abdominal conditions, but we cannot exclude other possibilities.”
After speaking, having transferred the patient and signed the paperwork, the paramedic left upon completing the handover!
Li Yue glanced at Chen Cang, “Let’s go, let’s see to it!”
Entering the trauma room, the elderly man lay on the bed, moaning in pain.
Chen Cang looked at Li Yue and then offered, “Shall I do it?” freēnovelkiss.com
Li Yue nodded!
Li Yue had great trust in Chen Cang by now and even had a feeling that Chen Cang’s skills might surpass his own.
Chen Cang then took over and began to personally conduct an abdominal palpitation on the elderly man.
“Sir, I’m going to palpate your abdomen. Curl up your legs, and if it hurts, let me know.”
The elderly man moaned and nodded, “Okay…okay.”
At that moment, Chen Cang gently pressed along the navel area.
When he reached the upper abdomen, the pain suddenly intensified!
Upper abdominal pain.
Upper left abdomen, apparent rebound tenderness!
No obvious muscle tension was discovered.
No tenderness in the liver area!
Chen Cang soon received a relatively accurate diagnosis, “It might be acute pancreatitis. Let’s draw some blood and do a CT scan and abdominal ultrasound to complete the examination.”
Li Yue nodded, “Okay, I’ll go put in the orders.”
Chen Cang then turned to go find the elderly man’s family to talk.
Acute pancreatitis in a 77-year-old is a dangerous condition that needs enough attention.
After coming out, two young people approached, “Doctor, is everything okay?”
Chen Cang shook his head, “We suspect it’s acute pancreatitis, we need to confirm the diagnosis. You two are the elderly man’s family, right?”
After hearing Chen Cang’s words, the two young people gave an awkward smile.
“Sorry, Doctor, we aren’t family.”
“We are the elderly man’s tenants. He is our landlord, and as we were home when the incident occurred, we brought him here.”
Hearing this, Chen Cang frowned immediately.
Why hadn’t the family come?
Thinking this, Chen Cang smiled and thanked the two for their kindness, preparing to have the nursing station contact the family.
At this time, Chen Cang asked, “Do you know the elderly man’s family phone number?”
The man nodded, “Yes, I know it.”
They paid their rent directly to the elderly man’s son, so they also had the phone number.
Soon, the call went through.
The nursing station got through to the phone, “Hello, are you the family of Wang Cunyou? He’s currently at the Capital Emergency Center, experiencing abdominal pain and suspected acute pancreatitis. We need his family to come here.”
However, the seemingly smooth call took a surprising turn as the other party responded, “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m in a meeting right now. Could you please call my brother? His phone number is 181**…”
After saying this, the caller hung up.
The call was then transferred to this “younger brother,” and after Yang Jie stated the purpose, he also started making excuses, “Sorry, I’m out of town. Can you call my sister instead? Her number is…”
As expected, this so-called sister simply didn’t answer the phone!
At that moment, everyone at the nursing station was stunned.
At this time, the tenants finally sighed and slowly said, “The first time the old man fell sick, they came over, but… after three or four times in half a year, by the third time nobody showed up anymore. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have brought him.”
Yang Jie was somewhat bewildered by these words.
Was this a shirking of responsibility?
Thinking this, Chen Cang said to Yang Jie, “Call 110! Have the police contact his family.”
If the family couldn’t be contacted, the hospital would hold a meeting and follow procedures.
However, having contacted the family but having them unwilling to come posed a different situation.
At critical times, no one was willing to step forward.
Chen Cang couldn’t help but feel saddened for the elderly man…

PS: I recommend a book: “Harry Potter: The Invincible Scholar”!
Plot: Allen Harris is reborn in the HP world, attempting to reform wizarding education and break the “Secrecy Act”—with the ultimate boss not being Voldemort but another character from the original series.
Style: This text is not a true system novel, following the HP style; the story gets darker with each volume.
Features: Everything comes in threes; J.K. Rowling used 7 as a special number, whereas in this text, 3 is a magical number. Everything is cyclical, and in the flow of time, everything has a cause.
This is a book by a talented young lady, quite hefty, worth acquiring!
Fans of Harry Potter might want to check it out.
