I Was Exposed for Reading Novels While Slacking Off in the ER

[Emergency Medicine] [Medical] [Slacking Off] [Undercover Inspection] [Ancient Remedies] [Rise to the Top] [Feel-Good Story] [Instant Fame]

My name is Lu Chen, the most inconspicuous night-shift doctor in the emergency department of a county hospital.

My life goal is simple: finish my night shifts in peace, sneak in some novel reading, and clock out on time.

Then came that night shift. A heart attack came in, then a poisoning case, then someone who’d been impaled through the chest by a steel bar.

Worse still, three members of the Health Bureau’s undercover inspection team were sitting on plastic chairs in the emergency lobby, watching the whole thing.

I casually checked a pulse, and their eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

I turned a page in the ancient medical notes my grandfather left behind, and they were all struck speechless.

I yawned and said I wanted to go home, and they called the provincial department in the middle of the night.

Everyone thought I was a lazy doctor just coasting through life. No one knew that my grandfather’s book, Records of the Agarwood Physician, contained medical techniques and ancient remedies lost for a century.

In a single night, the provincial department was shaken, the medical world was in an uproar, and everyone was searching for the “emergency medicine god of Qinghe County.”

All I want to say is: can you let me finish my novel? It just reached the climax.

From the county hospital to the city hospital, from the provincial capital to the nation’s capital, every step was forced on me.

But every patient pulled back from the gates of death says the same thing:

“Thank goodness Lu Chen was on duty that day.”
