Chapter 178: 【178】First Encounter with the Senior Sister from the Gastroenterology Department
Zhao Zhaowei’s classmate is not short; a male student who’s 1.75 meters tall and weighs between 120 and 140 jin falls within the normal range. Xie Wanying weighs a bit over 100 jin, with her weight all in her muscles.
“Who is she?” Li Qi’an noticed the girl standing behind her.
“She’s my childhood friend. Her tonsils are inflamed. Could you help me find a teacher to take a look at her?” Xie Wanying asked.
“Are you asking about Senior Kang? Of course, I can,” Li Qi’an said.
Senior Kang’s full name is Kang Huizhu, the senior sister staying in the gastroenterology department that Senior Lau Jingyun mentioned. It was a surprise to meet her today.
Shortly after, a slender female doctor with glasses and a refined demeanor walked out of the clinic room; it was Senior Kang. Hearing that the legendary junior sister had arrived, Kang Huizhu briskly walked over to meet her.
“Senior sister, my childhood friend has inflamed tonsils,” Xie Wanying excitedly greeted her, yet first made sure to get her friend treated.
“Come on over here,” Kang Huizhu led them into the clinic room.
Turning on the flashlight, Kang Huizhu examined the patient’s tonsils and instructed, “Open your mouth, say ‘aah’.”
Wu Lixuan looked at Xie Wanying, and with a nod of approval, opened her mouth and said “aah.”
After pressing down the patient’s tongue with a tongue depressor, Kang Huizhu conducted a thorough check and said, “It’s badly swollen, I’m afraid there might be pus spots. You need to get an injection to reduce the inflammation right away; just taking medication won’t do.”
“That’s what Yingying said,” Wu Lixuan exhaled and said.
“So she’s that good, huh? She knew at a glance that you needed an injection, didn’t she?” Kang Huizhu asked with a smile.
“Right. I said she’ll definitely be a great doctor in the future,” Wu Lixuan said.
Xie Wanying lightly patted her childhood friend on the shoulder: Don’t boast about me, we’re in front of our senior.
“Blood test, get the lab work done, start the injections. You’ll need at least three days of injections,” Kang Huizhu first wrote out the medical orders before filling in the medical record. Across from her, Li Qi’an was helping to get the test order ready.
Xie Wanying took the test order and went to ask a nurse for help. The nurse found a bed for Wu Lixuan to lie on so it would be easier to administer the injections.
Her phone rang. Without looking at the caller ID, Xie Wanying answered, “Hello, may I ask who’s calling?”
A sudden call from Senior Cao reminded her of Senior Brother Huang’s anger from the night before, making Xie Wanying a little uneasy.
“Are you resting in the dorm right now?” Cao Yong asked.
“No—” After last night’s lesson, Xie Wanying dared not make excuses to her seniors anymore.
Hearing her response, Huang Zhilei was so anxious he hopped from foot to foot: “We told you to rest, where did you go?! What are you thinking?”
“It’s , senior. My childhood friend has a fever, so I brought her to the emergency room to see a doctor,” Xie Wanying explained the situation in detail to her senior, showing that she truly was following the doctor’s advice.
“Okay, we’ll come down to the emergency room,” Cao Yong said.
The two seniors were coming to the emergency room to see if she was lying. Xie Wanying could only look up at the ceiling then.
First, she went to the window to settle the emergency fee, then came back to find the nurse ready to take blood from her friend. When the nurse saw her, she called out, “Would you like to try drawing blood?”
The nurse was very kind; usually, they don’t guide and allow clinical medical students to practice drawing blood unless they’re well-acquainted, an opportunity many medical students look for. Xie Wanying walked over and first sought her friend’s opinion.
Wu Lixuan nodded and said to her, “You can draw the blood, Yingying. That way I won’t be scared.”
