Chapter 127: After discussion, the seniors decided to do 2
Even if any of the preceding doctors had attended to just one of these details, the terrifying consequences that occurred today wouldn’t have happened. Father Liu nearly died; his heart monitor was about to be turned off before he passed. Wouldn’t saying that out loud amount to accusing the doctors of disregarding human life?
“There’s only an admission record in the medical history. What about the subsequent medical records? No follow-up records of blood pressure and heart rate? No additional ECG? Has the patient been left unattended for a whole three hours since admission? Then why bother having him stay in the resuscitation room?” Zhu Hui Cang’s disbelief grew as he looked harder, grabbing Doctor Lin’s face and demanding, “Hey, buddy, what’s going on with your cardiology department?”
Doctor Lin’s complexion turned paler and paler, his lips quivering. He had been led into a trap by someone!
“You’re absolutely right.” Doctor Lin was a straightforward man, candid in admitting wrongdoing.
“But you didn’t do anything?” Zhu Hui Cang questioned.
“It wasn’t me, I’ve said it so many times, it was Zhang Xiaohui!” Doctor Lin felt an urge to punch someone at that moment.
“Who is Zhang Xiaohui?” Zhu Hui Cang seemed to have no recollection of such a person.
“She’s a graduate student in our department; she was called in to cover my shift this afternoon.” Doctor Lin replied.
“She’s just a graduate student in your department and you trusted her so much?” Zhu Hui Cang adjusted his glasses, continuing his interrogation.
“She’s our chief’s graduate student, okay? It’s said she will stay in our department in the future.” Doctor Lin spoke the truth. Had Zhang Xiaohui not been a student recommended by the chief, he wouldn’t have trusted her entirely. But now, he felt that her performance did not fit the level of a graduate student from his department.
“It could be understood if another hospital missed the diagnosis, but your department should have been trained for this. Such a patient definitely needs another ECG. It’s impossible that there was no action for several hours, and yet you were asked to remove the monitor?” Doctor Jiang, who had been listening, found it incredible. He had done a rotation in Guoxie’s cardiology department and was clear on how they trained their physicians.
Even if he wasn’t a cardiologist himself, if he were to take on Father Liu’s case, he certainly wouldn’t handle it this way.
“They even asked you to remove the monitor?” Zhu Hui Cang was even more astonished by the information Doctor Jiang revealed last, “Why remove it? What was the reason?”
All Doctor Lin could think of was hammering someone—
“Yes, the incident happened when it was removed. Fortunately, Huang Zhilei’s junior was there. She immediately performed cardiac compressions and resuscitated the patient.” Doctor Jiang recounted the incident, filling in for Doctor Lin.
Huang Zhilei was overjoyed, having a skilled junior like her was different; it also cast a halo on himself.
Xie Wanying. Zhu Hui Cang remembered this name and couldn’t help but sigh. He remembered not only the scene of her meeting with Cao Yong over three years ago but also the image of her saving an elderly man.
Had this seemingly talented female medical student grown further?
Zhu Hui Cang cast a questioning glance at his old classmate: Why haven’t you mentioned her much lately?
Hey, it’s very important to give your old classmates a heads-up about such a talented student.
Ren Chongda couldn’t care less. You, Zhu Hui Cang, were the one who paid attention three years ago and then forgot about it; that’s your business. In any case, some people haven’t forgotten.
Moreover, a promising seedling needs to be kept cool, and the student mustn’t find out too soon and become self-satisfied, proud, and stop striving for improvement. Even if Xie Wanying seemed very humble, as a supervisor, it was essential to protect an outstanding student.
In fact, the news had been flying around in the group these past few days. It was just that Zhu Hui Cang probably hadn’t logged onto QQ and didn’t know about it.
