Chapter 233 - Unwritten rules? (1/2)

Zhang Fan finally allowed his fingers to loosen their grip when the needle holder’s clicking sound was heard. His fingers were really sore already.

“It almost fell back in!” Zhang Fan remarked to Lu Shuyan, still scared by what might have happened.

Zhang Fan took a look at the dildo portion that he had removed. There were already traces of blood on it. Also, due to the rectal spreader, the patient’s anus was slightly torn. “You should hospitalize yourself and have some more detailed checkups to see if any fragments remain. Also, you have severe swelling as well as a slight anal tear. If any fragments are stuck to your intestinal walls, those fragments could cause intestinal inflammation.”

“Doctor, can we not do the hospitalization?” The female patient weakly pulled on the black leather jacketed woman. The patient had a pitiful expression since she had truly been in great discomfort, and also because Zhang Fan had used such a loud and severe tone with her. She was a bit afraid of Zhang Fan now, and didn’t dare to talk to him, which was why she had her girlfriend say it for her instead.

“We can’t force you to hospitalize yourself. I’ve given you all of the proper medical advice that I should. You two can decide for yourselves. Dr. Lu, I’ll be going back to the proctology department now. Could you collect the medical fee from them?” Zhang Fan then immediately left the gynecology department. It wasn’t like the hospital was a prison. If the patient didn’t want to be hospitalized, then there wasn’t anything that he could do. All he could do was give them the proper medical advice.

Zhang Fan put on some gloves as he took the rectal spreader and went back to the proctology department with Wang Zipeng. For this type of reusable medical equipment, it would be necessary to disinfect it afterwards. There was a special department in the hospital that focused on this, so Zhang Fan didn’t need to worry about it. He only needed to hand the rectal spreader to a nurse.

It was now the end of winter. Although it wasn’t as cold as a few weeks before, it definitely wasn’t warm. Since it was around New Year’s, all sorts of businesses were having numerous meetings. The government leaders from nearby smaller cities all gathered at Chasu City.

Since Shao Hua and Jingshu were currently in Thailand, Zhang Fan constantly checked Shao Hua’s updates on QQ whenever he had free time. He saw many beautiful pictures of the two women wearing light summer clothing and floppy straw hats.

Jingshu was eating large mangos, large crabs, and large lobsters. She was smiling so much in the pictures that Zhang Fan could barely see her eyes. Zhang Fan was happy that they were happy. Wasn’t that how it was supposed to be? Seeing the happiness of those close to you would also make oneself happy.

If you were highly skilled, then you would be able to care about more people. If you weren’t skilled enough, then you would have to care about fewer people. That was just how cruel society was. You would have to make such a cruel choice.

The proctology department was now receiving more and more patients. Zhang Fan was doing a good job as the acting proctology director. Superintendent Ouyang was highly satisfied with his performance.

Since Shao Hua was currently in Thailand with Jingshu, Shao Hua’s parents focused fully on cooking for Zhang Fan as well as taking care of him.

Zhang Fan loved to eat noodles which were cooked in the style of his hometown. Shao Hua’s mother especially went to learn how to cook in this style from Shao Hua’s cousin’s wife as the latter was from the same place as Zhang Fan. Although Shao Hua’s mother was still unable to cook these noodles with an authentic hometown taste, Zhang Fan was still incredibly moved that she was willing to go so far for him. Most families would already have their eating habits set in stone. However, Shao Hua’s parents didn’t have any complaints about eating noodles that they weren’t used to eating. They truly cared so much about him!

Now that the department’s work had entered a proper cycle, it would be rather difficult to change things back to how they were. The more experienced resident doctors were really cooperative under Zhang Fan’s leadership. This was because Zhang Fan had loosened the previous director’s way of allocating illicit income. The more that one worked, the more income one would have. This was rather fair, so the department’s doctors became highly motivated again in just two weeks. This was the power of money.

Since everyone was working normally in the department, Zhang Fan suddenly had more free time. This was the difference between him and other people.

Some people would be really busy when they were the director. Back when Zhang Fan had just joined the proctology department, the other young doctors would only address him as Doctor Zhang. But now, only the younger doctors who were more easily embarrassed would address him as Doctor Zhang. The more veteran doctors would directly address him as Director Zhang.

Zhang Fan felt helpless about how he was being addressed. He was indeed the acting director, so it wasn’t like he could tell them not to call him director, yet it made him feel rather awkward to hear himself being referred to as director.

In the end, Zhang Fan’s female patient from the dildo incident finally decided to hospitalize herself. When she and her girlfriend learned that Zhang Fan was the proctology director, they were so astonished that their mouths went wide agape.

“I was really lucky to have a director treat me. Otherwise, this would have been troublesome. Let’s see if you still dare to act recklessly with me in the future!” In the patient room, the beautiful white-clad woman was embracing the black leather jacketed woman. The white-clad patient was acting spoiled to her girlfriend. Well, they had a private room with only the two of them inside. An older person who hadn’t seen much of the world would likely get rectal prolapse from seeing this sight!

Winter would always be a peak season for going to hospitals in the border province. This was because winter would always bring about the most illnesses, and also because people had received their income for their year and wanted to spend it.

Since China had a government medical insurance system that helped pay for treatment, more and more patients were going to hospitals even in the smaller cities. Zhang Fan would often go work for other hospitals to perform surgeries there after he got off from work at Chasu City Hospital.

Every city was different. Every hospital was different. Of course, every doctor was also different. In the smaller cities around Chasu City Hospital, there was only a single city hospital that had a general surgery director who was capable of independently performing laparoscopic appendectomy. The other hospitals were incapable of performing this type of surgery, mainly because the doctors didn’t want to learn it.

Zhang Fan had quite a good income due to also working at other hospitals. That was why he didn’t care very much about the typical illicit income that most doctors had. Meanwhile, Ma Wentao’s hospital’s business was improving even more. Everything was developing well for his hospital.

Typically, Shao Hua’s parents would go to the supermarket to buy some food to treat friends and relatives with over New Year’s. However, this year was different because of Zhang Fan. Shao Hua’s parents even took a ride to the farm to buy many products for New Year’s, just as if they were afraid that Zhang Fan and Jingshu would suffer without these things.

“Ma’am, you should tell me if there’s anything that you want to go buy. It would be so bad if you accidentally slipped and fell in winter,” Zhang Fan told Shao Hua’s mother when he returned from work and saw that the apartment was just like a warehouse with how much food was piled all over.
