Although not much happened in the emergency department late that night, Liu Banxia didn't sleep well. After his usual rounds, he paid particular attention to the patient with the throat inflammation.
"You should pack up and go home early," Liu Banxia advised Liang Xiaolin. "There isn't much happening in the emergency department right now; no need to wait until your shift officially ends."
"It's only a little past six. I'm not falling for your trick," Liang Xiaolin retorted.
"Look, Dr. Chen already told you yesterday to head home early. If I don't let you leave early, he's going to give me a hard time. Even if I'm completely in the right, I'd still be wary of his bias," Liu Banxia joked.
"I don't have time for your nonsense," Liang Xiaolin said, glaring at him.
"Dr. Liu, the observation patient you asked me to keep an eye on is awake. I just took his temperature. The fever hasn't subsided, and he's still coughing," Xu Dan reported, hurrying over.
