Chapter 65
Next time, definitely!
Chapter 65 Next time, definitely!
This damn sense of familiarity is back again!
Mr. Wu was overcome with grief.
However, what is bound to happen will happen, and there is no way to resist it.
"Mr. Wu," Ji Xiang gazed at Mr. Wu's figure and asked softly, "I think the patient's lower back pain seems a bit problematic. What do you think?"
An overwhelming sense of pressure suddenly arose. Mr. Wu stared blankly at the patient, as if he had returned to his graduate school days, following his supervisor on ward rounds.
"Director," Mr. Wu said instinctively, "I need to check his physical."
Lu Kai was a little confused. He was closest to President Wu and heard the most clearly.
But what does "director" mean?
Last time, he seemed to have called himself "Director".
Mr. Wu quickly began the physical examination, proceeding meticulously and with extreme precision, even appearing somewhat rigid.
Lu Kai found it familiar; this wasn't a technique doctors often used during ward rounds, but rather something a teacher would use when giving a lesson or when facing judges in a competition.
This kind of physical examination is only conducted during the most serious and rigid exams.
"Mr. Wu, you're really serious," Lu Kai praised. "This physical examination is... just like a physical examination."
"..." Mr. Wu turned around, glared fiercely at Lu Kai, and then smiled obsequiously at Ji Xiang.
This generation of sycophants is having a tough time.
Lu Kai wasn't frustrated, just puzzled.
What exactly did Mr. Wu mean by his anxious and apologetic smile just now?
Mr. Wu continued the physical examination, adhering to the standards and being meticulous.
When Ji Xiang saw how seriously Wu was bending over to take off the patient's pants, he almost kicked him.
It is indeed after lithotripsy. You can just look at your kidney area and your lower back. Why bother?
"Mr. Wu, does this look like a spontaneous kidney rupture?"
In general, when the rupture is minor, the symptoms are atypical. Subsequently, due to the large amount of urine entering the retroperitoneal space, persistent pain similar to that of an acute abdomen occurs.
Ji Xiang said softly.
The skill timer was still active. Mr. Wu nodded repeatedly, "There are indeed signs of spontaneous kidney rupture. Prepare the stretcher!"
The patient's family was taken aback.
Although he didn't understand it, he could understand what a ruptured kidney meant.
How did it break?
Mr. Wu ignored his explanation. After Lu Kai brought the stretcher over, several people hurriedly lifted the patient onto the stretcher, and Mr. Wu pulled the stretcher and ran wildly out of the ward.
But that hateful sense of familiarity still hadn't disappeared. The power of bloodline suppression was extremely strong. No matter how much Mr. Wu wanted to resist, the message transmitted in his DNA was obedience.
Mr. Wu was in tears.
"Guide..."
Turning around, Mr. Wu called out instinctively.
But Mr. Wu was suppressed by his bloodline, not lost his mind. He immediately realized something was wrong!
The other person is just a junior resident trainee, why should I be afraid of him!
I'm going to stand up for myself!
If a junior trainee doesn't behave, I'll report him to the director tomorrow, file a complaint with the Science and Education Department, and get rid of him immediately!
Mr. Wu's mind was in turmoil, with countless thoughts arising and swirling in his head.
Yes, we must stand up for ourselves, we absolutely must!
"Ji... Dao'er, I'll go. You stay home and let me know immediately if anything happens, and I'll run back."
Faced with Ji Xiang's bloodline suppression, no matter how much Wu wanted to stand firm, he eventually softened.
Even the way they address each other hasn't changed.
"..."
"..."
Lu Kai and Liu Yunqing were startled and almost bumped into each other.
What's wrong with Mr. Wu? Could it be that Ji Xiang is his long-lost biological father?
This is absolutely unbelievable!
Ji Xiang scratched his head and stopped walking.
The patient's vital signs are stable. He is currently in the early stage of spontaneous rupture of the right kidney. Early diagnosis and treatment are sufficient, and there is absolutely no need for him to follow along.
Watching President Wu, Lu Kai, and Liu Yunqing leave, Ji Xiang looked at the task on the system panel in the upper right corner of his vision, wondering when he would be able to complete this task successfully.
……
……
Once he was out of Ji Xiang's skill range, General Manager Wu finally relaxed.
That feeling was particularly unpleasant.
Like when I was in junior high school, I was caught smoking in the bathroom by the head of the disciplinary office.
It's like a high school romance, where you're holding hands with your first girlfriend in a romantic scene of heavy snowfall, eyes closed, ready to give her your first kiss, only to find that her father suddenly appears across from you.
It's like back in college, when the director was preparing to let me perform a surgery, but I messed up the carefully prepared surgery, and the director had to clean up my mess with a sullen face.
It's just like……
Countless scenes seemed familiar, yet each scene was different, and none of them could fully describe the heart-pounding fear I felt when I saw Ji Xiang.
As Mr. Wu pulled the flatbed cart and ran, he pondered what had happened.
Did I lose my mind to take a patient who had undergone ureteroscopic lithotripsy and stone removal performed by the chief physician to a CT scan?!
Mr. Wu became increasingly frustrated as he thought about it.
But what can I do now?
Halfway there, with the atmosphere already so heated, how could I tell the patient's family that I was bewitched?
Forget it, I'll get a CT scan first.
At least if the patient has lower back pain, even if a CT scan comes back negative, they can still have something to say about it.
hateful!
How awful!!
Mr. Wu grew increasingly angry as he thought about it. He gripped the flatbed cart so tightly that a clear creaking sound could be heard.
It must be because I haven't been sleeping well lately that I've become possessed by a ghost.
Next time for sure!
Upon arriving at the CT room, the roaring sound of the stretcher caught the attention of the CT room doctor.
He peeked out and saw his own chief resident running up, panting, pulling a stretcher. His heart immediately tightened.
There's only one possible explanation for this – the emergency room!
An emergency room visit where a mere ten or eight minutes could have been fatal!
"Next patient, wait a moment, we'll do the emergency care first!" the CT room doctor shouted.
The patients and their families in line were also understanding. Faced with the sight of three doctors pulling a stretcher and running all the way, they knew what had happened without needing to say anything.
The patient was immediately taken up for a CT scan.
Seeing that the patient's condition was stable, the doctor in the CT room had a completely bewildered expression on his face. He turned around, came out, and closed the lead door.
"Mr. Wu, what kind of patient? A car accident? It doesn't look like it."
"..." Mr. Wu didn't know how to answer.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question." The doctor in the CT room asked impatiently while operating the machine.
"The patient I treated with ureteroscopic lithotripsy yesterday," Mr. Wu replied sheepishly.
"Are you fucking crazy?!" The doctor in the CT room turned around in surprise and looked at Mr. Wu.
Sharp, surprised, and disdainful gazes converged, making General Manager Wu blush.
Indeed, if a perfectly healthy patient is rushed into the CT room, that shows a lack of clinical experience and a complete lack of competence.
"What's going on?" the CT scan doctor said disdainfully. "Who performed the surgery?"
"director."
"Dr. Liu punctured the ureter? That's impossible. Besides, if it leaks, it'll heal slowly. Why are you in such a hurry?" the CT room doctor wondered.
Mr. Wu was speechless.
"Is the medical affairs department just bored and organizing an emergency room drill?" The CT room doctor immediately dismissed his own claim. "If it's about drills, which surgical department doesn't handle more emergency cases than you?"
"..."
Mr. Wu almost cried because of what the doctor in the CT room said.
It wasn't that he was weak, but rather that what he had done today was illogical and utterly idiotic.
MD!
This incident will definitely become an urban legend in the hospital in the future—a stupid chief resident dragging a perfectly healthy patient along after get off work to the CT room for a checkup.
"Sigh, are you having some kind of mental problem?" The CT room doctor stopped his sarcastic remarks to Mr. Wu. He turned his head with concern. "Being a chief resident is definitely not a job for a human being. Are you saying you never go home or leave the house because your girlfriend cheated on you?"
"!!!"
"The CEO of the Second Department of Respiratory Medicine got cheated on by her boyfriend, who was happily preparing for their wedding, and then..."
The doctor in the CT room spoke softer and softer until finally it turned into a sigh.
Being cheated on while hospitalized is practically a given.
There are too many similar cases, so many people would rather resign than become chief resident.
Who devised this inhumane system back then? It was truly utterly inhumane.
"Sigh." The doctor in the CT room sighed deeply and fell silent.
After the CT scan is completed, the images appear on the screen frame by frame.
"Tell me, what could possibly go wrong with a lithotripsy procedure?" The CT room doctor quieted down for a moment, then started rambling again.
"It's not like GW turned things around. What kind of emergency room do you guys have? And you still bring patients here in such a hurry."
Mr. Wu was speechless.
"Okay, let's do one then. Once you're sure everything's alright, go home, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep. Staying in the hospital every day will make you act strangely, like a nervous wreck..."
As they were talking, it seemed as if an invisible hand was gripping the doctor's neck tightly.
On the screen, the abnormal signal was clearly visible.
Like the doctors in the CT room, Mr. Wu stared in disbelief at the images on the CT control room screen.
The right kidney is enlarged and has lost its normal shape; a linear shadow with a density higher than that of soft tissue is visible.
The image indicates—a spontaneous rupture of the right kidney!
How did it break?
The urology department performs hundreds of lithotripsy procedures every year, but many more patients cannot be admitted due to bed limitations.
Some procedures are minimally invasive, while others involve a 1cm incision, but regardless of the technique, problems are rare.
Normally, you wouldn't see a single case of similar complications in a year... no, you wouldn't see one in two or three years.
however,
As it turns out!
Mr. Wu broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the video.
Various legends came to mind.
On a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, a municipal hospital admitted a patient with a rib fracture. The examination revealed no abnormalities. However, the next morning, the patient was found dead…
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, a patient underwent hemorrhoid removal and internal ligation surgery at a proctology hospital in the provincial capital. The patient was in good condition after the surgery.
But the next morning, the patient also turned cold...
In every unexpected situation, not only does the patient perish, but the attending physician and a whole host of people in the department also perish.
It's truly unlucky for anyone who runs into it.
Before becoming the chief resident, Dr. Wu did not approve of this kind of thing. He felt that doctors must be careful and meticulous, and should investigate any abnormalities as soon as possible.
But after he became the chief resident, he realized that with dozens of patients, plus consultations from various departments and patients from the outpatient and emergency departments, he couldn't possibly screen them all, even if he had three heads and six arms.
Patients with a near-zero probability of developing serious complications can be observed.
But today, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, but I actually encountered it!
