“Hey, Dr. Jiang and Dr. Guan are here?” the family member raised his head and quickly greeted the two of them.
Bai Shiyou, who was on the hospital bed, also quickly answered Jiang Tingxu’s question, “I feel good. It’s just that after I took the medicine, I felt a slight discomfort in my stomach but it’s not serious.”
Jiang Tingxu recorded everything.
“Are you sure it’s the stomach?” As she spoke, he went forward and pressed down on it with her hand. When she pressed down on a certain spot, Bai Shiyou said anxiously, “It’s right here, right here.”
Jiang Tingxu pressed down on it a few times carefully and frowned slightly.
“The stomach is still a little lower. This isn’t the stomach.”
Eh?
“Then… What is that? I just feel quite uncomfortable here.”
“This is the esophagus. Describe in detail how uncomfortable it is.”
Ah?
Bai Shiyou’s face was full of awkwardness. If he had to describe it, he really didn’t know how to tell them. His mind was also full of words.
“I, err… That… It doesn’t really hurt… It’s just uncomfortable.”
Cough, what kind of accurate description was that?
“It doesn’t hurt, right?” Jiang Tingxu asked.
“Yes, it doesn’t hurt. It’s just uncomfortable.”
“Do you feel any burning sensation behind your sternum? Here. Do you feel a burning sensation in your heart?”
Jiang Tingxu moved her finger and pressed it on a certain spot.
Bai Shiyou immediately nodded.
“Yes, I feel a burning sensation in my heart, and then I feel a kind of acid.”
“That’s called acid reflux.”
“Hehe, alright, alright. Acid reflux, nausea.”
Jiang Tingxu could roughly determine the cause of this.
“It should be reflux esophagitis, but we still have to do a gastroscopy to confirm it first. I’ll get the nurse to make an appointment for you later. Is there anything else?”
“No, no, no.”
“Alright, that’s it for now. Oh right, we still have to do a stool test tomorrow. Family member, please send the stool to the laboratory before 7:30 am.”
“Hey, okay, okay.”
Jiang Tingxu and Guan Xiaodong then left. When they reached the nurses’ station, they told the nurses about the test Bai Shiyou had to do the next day.
After the nurse made records, Jiang Tingxu and Guan Xiaodong left.
… …
When they returned to the hotel, they told Director Gong about the situation.
“Reflux esophagitis?”
“Yes, but we still have to see the results after the gastroscopy tomorrow.”
With that being said, the results basically wouldn’t be too wrong.
Director Gong frowned, “We’ll have to perform the heart transplant surgery in three days. If there’s esophagitis, we would need to postpone the surgery.”
Once the organ left the body, it could only be preserved for six hours.
If it couldn’t be done this time, then they could only wait for the next time.
And the next time, the patient would have to pay the entire cost himself. Most importantly, it wouldn’t be so easy to get another donor!
The reason why he was so lucky this time was mainly because of the annual Medical Practitioners Academic Exchange Meeting. That was why donors were given priority to be sent here. Moreover, there would be a discount on the cost, which was basically half of what the patient needed to pay.
It was no wonder that Director Gong became worried after hearing the news.
“Forget it. Let nature take its course. Do your best and leave it to fate.”
Whether or not the surgery could succeed depended on fate.
“Director, the situation might not be that bad.”
“Let’s hope so.”
There was no other way. Sometimes, the truth was just a joke.
With Bai Shiyou’s situation, there was nothing they could do if they did not carry out the heart transplant.
Sigh…
This time not only Director Gong sighed, even Jiang Tingxu and Guan Xiaodong sighed one after another.
