After breakfast, sunlight streamed into the hospital room. Chu Yu leaned against the bed, watching the old television on the wall with its flickering screen, but her mind wasn't on the program. Her condition wasn't serious, and with Chu Mengran by her side, she felt at ease.

Seeing this, Chen Dong felt he should do something, so he picked up a pen and paper and decided to delve into the hospital's operations, which would be crucial for him to develop medical software.

Chen Dong entered the corridor, which was narrow, dark, and had peeling paint on the walls.

The patient paced back and forth with the help of his family members, who sat wearily on a bench, clutching the patient's medical record.

Chen Dong had a sudden inspiration. He told a patient's family member who was resting that he was a Tsinghua University student who was conducting research on hospital operations. The family member readily agreed to the conversation.

The family members said that ID cards are extremely important in the hospital. When picking up the medicine, the pharmacy staff asked them to show their ID cards and write down the numbers to prevent confusion with the handwritten prescriptions and to ensure the accuracy of the patient's information.

You can't register without an ID card, and the hospital admission process requires careful verification of your ID information.

Chen Dong then spoke with other patients and their families and received similar answers.

Chen Dong then went to the pharmacy and saw a long queue at the dispensing window. The staff carefully checked his ID card and asked the family member who was picking up the medicine to sign before handing it over.

One patient said that although the verification process takes time, it ensures medication safety. He had previously heard of patients who almost had an accident because they took the wrong medication.

Through numerous inquiries and visits, Chen Dong discovered that even with these measures, some mistakes still occurred.

For example, someone else's medical record might be given to the wrong person, even if it's not a case of someone with the same name.

Having the same name and surname greatly increases the likelihood of problems.

Another issue Chen Dong found was that without a mobile phone, communication in the hospital was extremely difficult.

Running up and down the stairs, it's safe to say that if either the doctor or the nurse makes a small mistake or doesn't coordinate well, the family has to run around everywhere.

This made Chen Dong realize how convenient the information age he had enjoyed in his previous life was.

For people of this era, this is almost a game-changer.

Back on the third floor, Chen Dong planned to return to his ward.

As a result, I saw that the nurses and doctors had already arrived for work.

The doctor put on a white coat in the office, while the nurses were already dressed and standing at the nurses' station, seemingly receiving a reprimand from the head nurse.

Chen Dong wasn't from the hospital and couldn't tell the difference between the nurses' and the head nurse's uniforms.

We can probably only make a rough judgment based on age.

Chen Dong found it interesting, so he sat on a chair against the wall and watched.

Naturally, some nurses saw this and glanced at Chen Dong, but none of them objected.

A few minutes later, the nurse finished her instructions, but the doctor took a new step.

Chen Dong sat in a chair and watched as the doctors walked into a room in twos and threes, then closed the door, seemingly to have a morning meeting.

This reminded Chen Dong of when he was in high school and junior high school, there was a class meeting every week one morning.

What's different is that these doctors seem to have a morning meeting every day?

Chen Dong frowned, unsure whether such morning meetings were helpful for the hospital's operation, and simply watched silently.

Around nine o'clock, after at least half an hour of morning meetings, the doctors finally came out of their rooms and dispersed in twos and threes, not all of them going to the doctors' offices.

Chen Dong didn't know what those who left were doing.

As for the doctors who went back to their offices, Chen Dong, who was standing at the door, saw them prepare briefly, pick up paper and pens, and then leave the doctors' offices.

Then, the ward rounds began.

Upon seeing this, Chen Dong returned directly to Chu Yu's hospital room.

In the ward, Chen Dong chatted with Chu Mengran and Chu Yu, glancing at the door every now and then, waiting for the doctor to come for rounds.

The sunlight outside the window gradually intensified, casting patches of light and shadow on the ground. Time passed by, minute by minute.

Finally, after a long wait of one hour and ten minutes, Chen Dong saw Dr. Xia Dong and another young doctor respectfully following behind a man over fifty years old, walking towards the ward.

The man was slightly overweight, wearing a white lab coat that was a little faded but very clean, and black-rimmed glasses.

Dr. Xia Dong entered the ward with a professional smile on her face and took the lead in introducing, "Mr. Chen, Ms. Chu, this is Dr. Zou Ping, the chief physician of our endocrinology department. He came here today specifically to see Chu Yu's condition."

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran quickly stood up and politely greeted Director Zou.

Chu Yu paused for a moment, then tried to sit up straighter.

Director Zou quickly said, "No need to get up, just lie down. We're just having a casual chat."

Then, Director Zou went to Chu Yu's bedside and asked with concern, "Chu Yu, have you felt any discomfort while staying in the hospital these past two days?"

Chu Yu leaned back on the hospital bed, gently shook her head, and replied in a gentle voice, "Director Zou, no, I feel much better."

Director Zou nodded and continued to patiently inquire, "Have you experienced dizziness, weakness in your hands and feet, or trembling?"

Chu Yu shook her head again and said, "No, Director Zou, I feel pretty good these past two days."

Upon hearing Chu Yu's reply, Director Zou smiled with satisfaction.

The absence of these symptoms means that hypoglycemia has greatly improved and will not develop into any other condition.

Director Zou then asked with a smile, "Have you been eating properly?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu couldn't help but laugh. She pointed to Chu Mengran and Chen Dong beside her and said, "Director Zou, you can't not eat properly even if you don't want to."

“This is my daughter’s boyfriend. He came very early this morning and even bought breakfast for my daughter and me. He arrived even earlier than you guys start work.”

Director Zou chuckled, turned to Xia Dong, and asked, "Xia, have any further tests been done for this patient?"

Xia Dong quickly replied, "Director Zou, I issued the form yesterday, and a family member accompanied me to get it done. The result is here."

As he spoke, Xia Dong picked up a writing board from the table next to him. It was covered with scribbles and handed it to Director Zou Ping.

Director Zou took the writing board and carefully looked at the contents.

The ward fell silent as Chu Yu, Chen Dong, and Chu Mengran awaited Director Zou's conclusion.

After a while, Director Zou Ping raised his head, a kind smile returning to his face, and said with a smile, "Chu Yu, I've looked at the test results, and there's nothing seriously wrong."

"It's just a minor ailment caused by some bad habits in your lifestyle. You can just pay attention to it when you get home. In general, eat on time, make sure you get enough rest, and don't overwork yourself."

Then, Director Zou looked at Chu Mengran and Chen Dong and continued, "Please also take good care of their families."
