The patient suffered from an acute but simple case of cholecystitis.
During the transfer of the patient to the emergency department, Zheng Ren noticed that Su Yun and Xie Yiren had gone to prepare for the surgery.
Under normal circumstances, informed consent procedures were handled by a junior surgeon. The junior surgeon would transport the patient to the operating room and begin anesthesia and disinfection. Once surgical drapes were in place, the junior surgeon would notify the senior surgeon.
Zheng Ren's "junior" had declared himself flawless but had left Zheng Ren here to handle the informed consent procedure. In Zheng Ren's eyes, such disrespect was a major failing.
It was not a simple blemish on Su Yun's character, but a crater.
Fortunately, it was still daytime. The emergency ward was relatively quiet, so Yang Lei and Chang Yue came upstairs to assist with the patient, relieving Zheng Ren of his task.
