After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, the emergency physician found the test results on the computer, printed it out, and brought it to Zheng Ren.

Blood uric acid: 1016 mol/L.

The normal reference value for children was low, at approximately 180-300 mol/L. The normal value might vary according to the testing machine, but a value of 1000 mol/L above normal has undoubtedly proved that the patients uric acid was too high.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the patients family, Zheng Ren could only call them to the treatment room and tell them the cruel truth.

10 minutes later, the parents of the patient left with the patient in their arms.

Zheng Ren was very sure, but in the end, he still left a note.

That was only a preliminary diagnosis. If it was confirmed, they would need to go to the capital for a genetic test. Due to the cost being too expensive, it was not recommended.

To some extent, doctors were the authoritative figures in the hearts of patients and their families.

If he said that, would the family hold onto a glimmer of hope?

Zheng Ren was not sure.

Although that glimmer of hope was meaningless, he felt uncomfortable if he did not say anything.

After calming himself down, Zheng Ren walked out of the treatment room.

A familiar looking middle-aged man stopped Zheng Ren.

He seemed familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. If someone else had those completely opposite feelings at the same time, it would be a sign of split personality.

However, for Zheng Ren, who was hopeless at differentiating faces, it was normal.

Doctor Zheng! The middle-aged man greeted with a smile in a friendly manner.

You are? Zheng Ren asked in confusion.

My surname is Qin. The man was a little embarra.s.sed, but he hid it well. He smiled and said, A while ago, No. 14 Weier Road, Amigo Veterinary Hospital. Do you still remember, Dr. Zheng?

Ugh the golden retriever named Harry that required operation after eating socks.

Zheng Ren suddenly remembered the beautiful owner of the veterinary hospitalWhat was her name again?

He had forgotten.

h.e.l.lo, Mr. Qin. Countless thoughts flashed through Zheng Rens mind, but he did not forget to greet him.

What is he doing here? Are they after me for Harrys postoperative complications? However,judging from Mr. Qins expression, that did not seem like it.

My daughter has always said that she would bring Harry over to thank you, Mr. Qin said, but Harry is old, and his recovery is slow Erm, your surgery is very good. There are no problems. Its just that Harry is old.

Oh, thats right. The smile on Zheng Rens face became more natural.

Recently, Harry has been able to take a walk, run a little, and eat well. I originally wanted to visit you on New Years day, butI cant stand my daughters nagging. Since Im free today, I came over to visit you.

Its good that its recovering.

Dr. Zheng, do you have time? Mr. Qin asked.

Why?

This is a hospital. Its inconvenient to bring Harry in. Many people dont like dogs. It would be bad if it scares the children. My daughter and Harry are in the car. If you have the time

Zheng Ren understood his meaning.

The little girl was already there. It seemed like it was only right for him to go out and take a look.

That should be considered another form of communication between a doctor and postoperative patient. Although Harry was just a dog that lost its golden l.u.s.ter due to old age, it was family in the eyes of Mr. Qin and his daughter.

Following Mr. Qin, they both walked out of the emergency building.

The building was as warm as Spring, but a chilling wind blew outside. Zheng Ren did not feel too cold. His physical fitness had improved significantly recently, which was obvious.

As soon as he walked out of the emergency building, the back door of a car parked in front of the gates opened. A yellow and white golden retriever jumped out of the car.

The dog was very old. The color of its fur was no longer pure. Yellow and white were mixed together.

It pounced directly at Zheng Ren. Zheng Ren was worried that it would fall off from all that vigorous wagging.

Harry panted heavily. It stuck out its tongue and rubbed its head against Zheng Rens pants.

Mr. Qin was worried that Zheng Ren did not like dogs so he quickly pulled Harry away.

Zheng Ren waved his hand and gently stroked the dogs head.

A teenage girl jumped out of the car and stood beside Mr. Qin.

This is the Doctor Zheng youve always wanted to see. Hes the one who operated on Harry, Mr. Qin said.

The little girl then cheerfully came behind Harry and bowed deeply to Zheng Ren. Doctor Zheng, thank you for operating on Harry.

Uh this display of grat.i.tude Zheng Ren had encountered it before. However, it was only a surgery on a dog. Was there a need to express grat.i.tude that way?

Perhaps.

He was at a loss.

Its all thanks to you. My dad didnt tell me that Harry was sick. He only told me after the surgery was successful. What a meanie, the girl pouted.

Mr. Qin smiled. Doctor Zheng, thank you very much.

No problem, Zheng Ren said quickly.

With Harrys head coiled in his hand, Zheng Ren felt that the old dog with impure fur seemed to know that he was its savior, so it was especially kind to him.

Of course, it was also possible that the dog was very friendly with everyone and was generally nice to everyone.

It was very cold outside. After a few words, Mr. Qin was about to leave.

The little girl refused and insisted on taking a photo with Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren agreed with a smile.

Mr. Qin took out his phone. Zheng Ren half-squatted beside Harry while the little girl stood on the other side, smiling innocently.

After the photo was taken, Mr. Qin brought the child and Harry to the car. Then, he quickly returned to the lobby of the emergency building with Zheng Ren. He added Zheng Rens WeChat account, saying that he would find a better photo to send him later. After expressing his grat.i.tude once more, he turned around and left.

Through the transparent door, Zheng Ren saw the little girl and Harry greeting him on the other side of the car window.

The little girls reddish face had a sincere smile. Meanwhile, Harrys tongue licked the breath he left on the car window, as if trying to remember Zheng Rens appearance in his mind.

Zheng Ren waved his hand and watched them leave. Only then did he turn around and walk toward the emergency ward.

Zheng Ren walked very slowly. The scarred face of the little patient with Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome and the innocent face of the little girl gradually mixed together and finally turned into nothingness.

When he walked to the emergency ward, Zheng Rens emotions had already calmed down.

He sat silently in front of his desk and turned off the computer. After that, he picked up his Fundamentals of General Surgery and continued to read.

Although reading in the system library did increase his skill points faster than reading the book, the skill points would not be directly added to the general surgery skill tree.

Zheng Ren still remembered the epic experience of performing simultaneous pancreatoduodenectomy on the day the system descended on him.

Although it was almost impossible to beat, Zheng Ren was obsessed. He hoped that one day, he would be able to stand in front of the operating table with the best general surgery skills.

After reading for a while, Zheng Rens phone rang again.

He picked it up and saw that it was Chief Xia from the Department of Digestive Medicine.
