The next day.

9 AM.

Zhao Heng sat in the doctor's office, he was on emergency duty today, waiting for consultations from various departments.

It was unclear when it started, but Zhao Heng's consultations were no longer limited to anesthesia, he was also involved in critical rescue, pain treatment, and even some complex cases.

However, Zhao Heng looked a bit unusual today; while he was diligently writing his paper, every now and then he would touch his waist.

Young as he was, could Zhao Heng already have a muscular strain in his waist?

As Zhao Heng was writing his paper, Xu Man Ni walked over to him with light steps and a cheerful face, gently resting her hand on his shoulder and said softly, "I'm getting off work early today, I'll go home and wait for you."

Since they were in the office, Xu Man Ni couldn't act too intimately.

But this was enough to make the other people in the office feel like they were eating a full scoop of dog food.

"Uh... today..."

Zhao Heng hesitated.

Though his car was in good condition, it needed proper maintenance, last night's intense off-road race had slightly worn out the hubcaps.

"I'll wait for you in the evening."

Xu Man Ni said again and then turned to leave.

Seeing Xu Man Ni's light steps as she left, Zhao Heng couldn't help but shiver.

However, with his system-enhanced body, his strong physical strength and endurance gave Zhao Heng confidence.

When Xu Man Ni left the office, Tian Zhen happened to come in, and it was now Tian Zhen's responsibility to communicate about consultations from various departments.

Thus, Xu Man Ni and Tian Zhen met each other just outside the office.

Seeing Tian Zhen looking radiant, Tian Zhen couldn't help but say, "Man Ni, what are you using, your complexion looks so good, is it the Water Essence we bought together last time?"

"Yes, it's Water Essence, but not the one from La Mer."

Xu Man Ni smiled and said.

"Not the one from La Mer, could it be the one from Lancôme?"

Tian Zhen was a bit puzzled.

"You guess!"

Xu Man Ni replied cheerfully.

After saying that, she smiled mysteriously and walked away.

Xu Man Ni's words left Tian Zhen a bit puzzled, so when she entered the office, Tian Zhen first asked Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, what Water Essence did Man Ni use for such great effect? Did you buy it for her? I asked for the brand but she wouldn't tell me."

"Uh... Water Essence..."

Hearing this from Tian Zhen and seeing Tian Zhen's puzzled expression, Zhao Heng hadn't expected Xu Man Ni to have such a mischievous side.

"Yes, what brand is it? Tell me so I can buy it too."

Tian Zhen, seeing Zhao Heng's odd expression, couldn't help but ask again.

"Hmm... it might not be something you can use."

"By the way, which department needs a consultation now?"

Zhao Heng wiped his brow internally and quickly changed the subject.

"Why can't I use it? That's not right, my skin type is similar to Man Ni's."

Tian Zhen was still tangled up about the "Water Essence."

But work was her priority, so she finally said, "It's a consultation from the pain department."

"Alright, I'll head over now."

Zhao Heng immediately stood up and responded.

"Hey, Dr. Zhao, you haven't told me what Water Essence you used for Man Ni yet."

Tian Zhen was still asking as Zhao Heng was about to leave.

"Man Ni was just teasing you, so stop asking."

Zhao Heng said and hurriedly left.

After Zhao Heng left, Tian Zhen recalled Zhao Heng's awkward and hurried departure and linked it with the fact that she apparently saw Xu Man Ni leaving with Zhao Heng yesterday.

Putting these together, Tian Zhen finally realized what Xu Man Ni meant.

Oh my!

Tian Zhen's face turned red all of a sudden.

No wonder Dr. Zhao left hastily.

But, can that aspect really make a woman more beautiful?

Tian Zhen couldn't help but wonder.

After leaving the anesthesiology department, Zhao Heng was headed to the pain department.

Still, thinking about Tian Zhen persistently asking him about the "Water Essence", he felt a bit odd.

Speaking of the pain department Zhao Heng was heading to, besides the operating room, the pain department is the most closely related to the anesthesiology department.

Pain has been recognized by modern medicine as the fifth vital sign after breathing, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature.

Some chronic pain is actually a standalone disease, such as trigeminal neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgia, and more.

Long-term pain not only severely affects a patient's physical, psychological, and social functions but can also impact their family and even society.

Moreover, the pain department's treatment methods for pain patients, such as nerve block therapy and mini-knife therapy, are highly correlated with anesthesiology.

In many cases, procedures involving surgery in the pain department are performed by anesthesiologists.

And in terms of academic categorization, anesthesia and pain are combined and are collectively referred to as the anesthesia pain department.

Before long, Zhao Heng arrived at the pain department's doctors' office.

As soon as Zhao Heng entered, the attending physician of the pain department, Liu Haipeng, approached him and greeted, "Dr. Zhao."

"Hello, Dr. Liu."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Dr. Zhao, you've been rather hard to pin down lately. I talked to anesthesia yesterday and our pain department only got you scheduled today."

Liu Haipeng joked.

Nonetheless, a joke it was, what he said was true now; many departments indeed sought Zhao Heng for consultations.

Ever since Liu Ziang's remarks about Zhao Heng became widely known, whenever departments encountered anesthesia, pain, or issues in stabilizing emergency patients, Zhao Heng would be the first to come to mind.

"Here I am."

"Dr. Liu, what's the patient's situation?"

Zhao Heng chuckled, jumping right to the point.

"The patient is male, fifty-five years old, suffering from trigeminal neuralgia for years, with recurrent episodes, and current medication treatment is basically ineffective."

Liu Haipeng briefly introduced the patient's condition requiring consultation.

"If medication treatment is ineffective, should we consider microvascular decompression or nerve puncture block for the trigeminal nerve?"

Zhao Heng thought aloud.

Upon hearing it was trigeminal neuralgia, Zhao Heng's face suddenly tensed.

Trigeminal neuralgia is known as the "most painful condition", it is essentially "face pain", characterized by sudden, electric shock-like, burning, unbearable severe pain in the trigeminal nerve distribution area of the head and face, often making one wish they were dead during an attack.

When this pain strikes, it feels like an electric shock, a cut by a knife, or a prick by a needle, and it has the characteristics of recurring episodes and unbearable intense pain.

The greatest threat of trigeminal neuralgia is due to the severe and unpredictable nature of the pain, causing patients to live in constant fear, becoming extremely cautious, spiritless, and even avoiding washing their face, brushing their teeth, or eating, speaking very cautiously, fearing to trigger the "pain switch" that causes an attack; which, in the long run, can lead to severe self-harm or even suicidal tendencies in the patients.
