Chapter 29: The Emergence of the Virus

  New book on the rise! Seeking votes and collections!

  Li Jingyi was beaming with joy, having just taken office for a few days, good things came one after another. Her eyes shone brightly when looking at Xiao Lin, this young man was really great. First, he let the director give way to himself, then in today's emergency rescue scene, he performed calmly and successfully rescued the patient, earning the school hospital many praises from classmates. Most importantly, thanks to this event, the school hospital gained recognition from the school's high-level authorities, no longer being criticized as before, and on the spot agreed to allocate some funds to the school hospital.

  "Dr. Xiao, you are indeed our school hospital's blessing!" Li Jingyi said with a good heart, smiling at Xiao Lin.

  At this time, Xiao Ning just came in from outside and heard Li Jingyi's praise of Xiao Lin. He said disapprovingly: "Director, I don't agree with this at all. What good fortune? It's purely a landlord who gives us work to do. This morning I didn't even have time to drink water, and Xiaomei is still busy infusing fluids!"

  Upon hearing Xiao Ning's complaints, Xia Xue couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. Although every year at the start of school there would be some new students coming to see her for medical treatment, even when she first started it wasn't as chaotic as this. In just one morning, she had over thirty patients, while Xiao Lin's speed in treating patients was more than twice hers, and he probably saw at least seventy patients or more.

  "Director, Xiaoning is right, there are too many patients and most of them have minor illnesses. Some even come here for lack of sleep causing dark circles under their eyes! This emergency room has become a marketplace!" Xiasnow complained along with him.

  Li Jingyi heard Xia Xue complaining and smiled, saying: "Doctor Xia, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to complain. There are many patients here who came specifically for you!"

  "Director, can I take some time off and come back to work later? If it's like this every day, not only can Xiaoning and the others not hold on, but we also can't hold on!" Although Xiao Lin and the other three were not as busy as Xiaoning and the others, having to go to the pharmacy to fetch medicine and give injections was exhausting. If things continued like this, Xiao Lin would rather quit. He had come to the school hospital in the first place because it was relatively quiet and he could have a lot of his own time.

  Li Jingyi also thought that Xiao Lin was right, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "This afternoon I'll talk to the dean about it, maybe we can transfer some colleagues from other departments to support us. Actually, this kind of phenomenon happens every year at the beginning of school, who made you two look so handsome and beautiful, making those little boys and girls infatuated with you!"

  It's the only thing to do now, Xiao Lin and Xia Xue, Xiaoning nodded helplessly, colleagues from other departments were idle reading newspapers, while those in the emergency department were busy with no time to even drink water, receiving the same salary, unlike hospitals in society where doctors can still charge a registration fee for diagnosing a patient.

  At noon, Li Jingyi invited all the staff in the emergency department to have lunch. However, due to the large number of patients who came in the morning, many patients' infusions had not been completed, and someone had to stay in the infusion room. Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei chose to stay behind, and their lunch was brought back by Li Jingyi and others when they returned.

  In the afternoon, Li Jingyi went to the third floor to report the situation to the dean. Before long, she appeared in the emergency room with two doctors and four nurses, which greatly relieved the pressure on the emergency room.

  The two doctors who were assigned to the task did not show any reluctance, although there was no registration fee, but if the hospital's efficiency is to be improved, their bonuses and benefits will not be reduced. Moreover, they are only dealing with some minor illnesses, so they don't worry about causing any problems. They can also leave a good impression on their leaders and have the opportunity to work in the same room as Xia Xue, the most beautiful woman in the school hospital. What's not to be happy about?

  In the afternoon, the emergency department of the school hospital was still busy. Xiao Lin's reputation gradually spread out and more patients came to see him, even some teachers from the school heard about it and came over.

  The school hospital, which was once the most deserted place, has long been criticized by students and teachers for having fewer patients than staff and doctors. Now, with Xiao Lin's arrival, it has greatly improved.

  "Next!" Xiao Lin shouted without even lifting his head, most of the people who came to the emergency room were here for him and Xia Xue, although they all had some minor ailments, many of them didn't even need to take any medicine.

  "Doctor, it's me!" A very weak woman's voice rang out, a little timid and also a bit faint.

  Xiao Lin raised her head, smiled slightly and said: "It's you, how have you been feeling these past two days?" The woman was the first patient Xiao Lin had treated at the school hospital.

  Xiao Lin carefully examined the patient, whose face was a bit pale, indicating that his anemia wasn't in good condition. His lips were slightly dry and cracked, his eye sockets were sunken, and he seemed to be lacking in spirit. However, there was still a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead.

  Xiao Lin was taken aback, remembering that after checking on her the day before, he had promised to help her with a prescription and medication the next day, but yesterday he had been busy with his own affairs and had forgotten about her. Xiao Lin felt quite guilty in his heart.

  "Doctor, I've had a fever since yesterday. When I came here yesterday, you weren't available and Dr. Li treated me instead. He prescribed some cold medicine and gave me an IV, which made me feel better at first. But after returning to my dormitory, I started feeling chills all over my body, followed by dry heaving and insomnia!" The female student said while handing over her medical certificate.

  Xiao Lin took a look at the medical certificate. The girl's name was Tongtong, from Zhenzhou, Jingliang Province, and she was a sophomore at Yanda University.

  Xiao Lin's heart skipped a beat as she saw this, thinking of the HTC4 variant virus she had read about last night. She asked Tongtong: "Tongtong, did you go home for National Day?" Her heart grew heavier, and Tongtong's situation was similar to the initial outbreak of the HTC4 virus. In her heart, she prayed that Tongtong hadn't contracted the HTC4 virus.

  As soon as the virus is mentioned, Xiao Lian's head starts to hurt. This virus itself does not have much harm and its toxicity is not strong, but its frightening aspect lies in its ability to infinitely weaken the human body's immune system, thereby triggering various diseases that are normally hidden in the body. If one originally has a certain disease, such as common diabetes or influenza, if they contract this virus, mild cases will exacerbate the illness, while severe cases may lead to complications and even death on the spot.

  "Uh-huh, I'm back..." Tongtong weakly nodded in response, her originally bright eyes feeling a bit dry at the moment.

  Xiao Lin thought for a moment and asked Dr. Li beside him, "Director, this patient's condition is quite special, I'll take this patient to the First Affiliated Hospital for an examination!"

  "Doctor, what's wrong with me?" Tiantian was quite anxious when he heard Xiao Lin say that.

  Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Nothing's wrong, the school hospital just doesn't have those testing devices, I'll take you to the First Affiliated Hospital for a routine check, don't worry!" In his heart, Xiao Lin was praying that it wouldn't be the THC4 virus.
