On the next day, Ling Ran put off work until noon before he returned to the hospital.
The Emergency Medical Center was packed. The treatment room and resuscitation room were also at their peak during the day. There were car accident patients, patients suffering from acute abdominal pain, patients who suffered from cold and fever and needed fluid infusion, and the patients' families rushing about hurriedly and impatiently like headless chickens…
The doctors who wore white coats and nurses were the most insignificant sploshes of color; or the lack of it; in the emergency room. They were shoved face first into the south wall in one moment, and in the next moment, they were shoved to the north wall. They drifted about the crowd in one moment, and in the next, they were buried in a sea of people.
It was not any better at Ling Treatment Group.
