Chapter 26

In a specially vacated office by Dean Zhou, Zhuo Chuan was staring at the laptop screen, where various patient crisis predictions were displayed.

Over the past few days, Xu Yan had shipped thirty ECG monitors from the company, which were urgently configured with the right interfaces and installed in the hospital. After the installation, Zhuo Chuan was left to monitor the effects. They left the hospital to visit more hospitals, planning to use the example of the city's tumor specialty hospital as a weapon to capture other hospitals in the city. As the capital, there were numerous hospitals of all sizes.

After they left, Zhuo Chuan quietly initiated another program, a smart ECG analysis program with a 98% accuracy rate, which he connected to the thirty ECG monitors to help him accurately find suitable patients.

Actually, the program he modified for Starlight Company had a prediction accuracy of only about 50%, but it would only over-report, not under-report. This meant that if a patient was in critical condition, it would definitely report it, but it might also report when there was no crisis.

Zhuo Chuan's design was a redundant one. Over time, doctors would realize its benefits, even though it increased their workload. Compared to the constant anxiety of monitoring patients, this regular alarm system was clearly more acceptable.

The recent incident had caught the attention of the hospital's true leader, Dean Li, the official dean. After listening to Dean Zhou's report, he immediately recognized the value and decided to have Zhuo Chuan stay at the hospital, providing him with a separate VIP ward to monitor the instrument's performance on-site. If necessary, he could report directly to Dean Li.

Zhuo Chuan was not overly surprised by this treatment, given his unique background, but the sense of being valued was something he had never experienced at his old company.

Dean Li, especially of a top-tier hospital, was not someone one could easily meet, let alone report to. Their salespeople had to go through great lengths to schedule a meeting, and they were often stood up.

Moreover, upon learning that Zhuo Chuan needed to frequently monitor the situation on-site, Dean Li instructed the logistics department to provide him with a set of work clothes, distinct from those of doctors and ordinary equipment engineers, and a name badge. He also issued a notice to all departments, instructing them to fully cooperate with Zhuo Chuan.

This treatment, compared to the medical value Zhuo Chuan brought, was negligible. The success rate of resuscitation was not only an important indicator but also a clear measure of a hospital's level in the eyes of the public. Other treatment outcomes might be hard to evaluate, but a successful resuscitation meant life, while a failure meant death, which everyone could see.

However, Zhuo Chuan was very satisfied because this completely resolved the problems he had previously encountered. Now, he could go to the patients in critical condition at any time without any worries.

When he went to the palliative care ward, the intern doctor was very surprised because the hospital had officially issued a notice instructing them to especially cooperate with this engineer. The new equipment was indeed miraculous, always predicting patient crises in advance, which greatly surprised the young doctor. This once strange young man became even more mysterious.

Zhuo Chuan had no intention of showing off. He focused on finding suitable patients, and no one questioned or doubted him. Even more exciting things were yet to come.

...

At 3 AM one morning, in the VIP intensive care ward, doctors were urgently resuscitating an elderly man. This was a wealthy individual, 92 years old, with an overseas education and an MBA. He had a rich early career and was the chairman of several listed companies. In terms of quality and status, he was the highest-ranking person Zhuo Chuan had ever met face-to-face.

Zhuo Chuan had informed the hospital that this elderly man would experience a crisis at this time, which was extremely severe and difficult to save. After seeing this warning, he knew it was almost impossible to save him. This warning level was based on the emergency medical standards of 2045, which, in this era, made it virtually impossible to save him.

With the smart ECG analysis software he brought from the new world, Zhuo Chuan could purposefully go to the patients who were impossible to save, witnessing their death and absorbing their soul energy.

Thanks to Dean Li's instructions and Zhuo Chuan's early warning, he followed the resuscitation team, purely as an observer. He had changed into his work clothes, and the doctors handled all the explanations to the family.

Hearing that the software developed by Zhuo Chuan had predicted the life-threatening crisis, the doctors were able to prepare in advance, with all equipment, medications, and personnel ready. The family, though not fully understanding the intricacies, was extremely grateful.

Zhuo Chuan knew that his warning was accurate, but this time it was in vain. The condition was too severe, and the patient was too old, making it almost impossible to save him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come in the middle of the night to observe the situation.

When the doctors informed the patient in advance about the possible life-threatening situation, the family understood and prepared accordingly. After receiving the warning, they confirmed the will again when the elderly man regained consciousness.

When the time came, the patient indeed fell ill, and his vital signs plummeted. The family, witnessing this, was deeply impressed by the hospital's level of care and fully believed that the hospital had done everything possible to save him.

One of the family members, a middle-aged man, said that if the resuscitation was successful, he would bow to thank the doctors, and if it failed, he would still thank them for allowing them to see their father one last time.

The resuscitation lasted only twenty minutes, and the doctors were already powerless, just doing their best.

At this moment, as the family members could not help but grieve, Zhuo Chuan began to see a thick stream of soul energy emerging from the elderly man, so dense that it almost suffocated. Of course, no one else could see it, and he didn't need to get close to the bed to absorb it.

This time, he absorbed the soul energy for over two minutes, which was several levels higher in both time and quality compared to the previous two cases. One of the previous cases, a deputy professor, took only about ten seconds, and the other, an older teacher, took a few seconds longer.

This elderly man, however, was several times more, which was not surprising given his achievements in life. His wealth, status, and social value creation were far greater than the previous two.

Zhuo Chuan again realized the wisdom of the saying, "Sharpening the axe does not delay the cutting of wood." If he hadn't spent time developing this smart analysis software, he wouldn't have been able to encounter such a high-status patient in critical condition, and he wouldn't have had to wait blindly or waste time. He could directly wait for the patient to pass away and absorb the soul energy.

Not only did he avoid any doubts or accusations from the family and doctors, but he also gained their gratitude and admiration.

The patient was not saved, but the family did not blame Zhuo Chuan. Instead, they were grateful that he had given them the chance to see the elderly man one last time and hear his final words. For most families, this was the final comfort.

However, a final incident surprised both the doctors and the family, but Zhuo Chuan, with his experience, was not surprised.

The elderly man said, "Doing charity really can get you to heaven. I should have donated all my remaining wealth, not leaving a single cent to my descendants."

The family was embarrassed because the doctor had notified them of the critical condition early, and the lawyer was present. They had the authority to determine whether the patient's final words had any legal significance.

"The old man's wish should be fulfilled by his children, but since the will has already taken effect, it cannot be changed. Please discuss among yourselves how to fulfill the old man's wish," said a famous lawyer.

"That's right. We will establish a charitable foundation in our father's name to do charity work," the middle-aged man agreed.

This incident passed quickly, and Zhuo Chuan felt that he had unintentionally done a good deed. But what made him even happier was that after absorbing the soul energy, he could feel himself changing again.
