Even though it was Chinese Valentine's, it was not a public holiday so hospitals were open for business. Nan Xiang City's Third People Hospital saw a large crowd in the emergency room. The patients and their families filled up the waiting hall and the buzzer kept ringing. There was a superstition at most hospitals. Hospital staff should never say things like 'things look quite quiet today' or else things would quickly go south. In fact, an experiment had been done on this overseas. Two groups were isolated with normal workflow. One of them spoke the taboo and the other did not. The result showed that the former indeed ended with more workload.
Regardless, tonight at the Third People Hospital, everyone was busy regardless of the taboo or not. The bustle was especially heavy at the paediatrician clinic. The doctors and nurses there had worked from afternoon until dawn.
