The patient was conscious and could slightly cooperate. As the patient was instructed to turn his head to the side, a nurse inserted a tube into the patient’s nostril. Such a thick tube being inserted must have been uncomfortable for the patient, who squirmed in response. Others stepped forward to help hold the patient still.
“Don’t move, don’t move,” the nurse shouted.
Another nurse walked in, bringing the emergency blood test results from the laboratory.
Luo Yanfen quickly glanced over the test results: Hemoglobin this low, my god. Is the coagulation function this poor, too? Could there be some underlying disease?
While looking, she sighed, frowned, and twisted her facial muscles, unable to help but think: I’ve had such bad luck recently. I thought this was just a case of stomach bleeding, but now it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.
The patients in bed two and the family members of bed three saw her expression, and even though she didn’t speak, panic flashed in their eyes: Dr. Luo’s state, did it mean someone was going to die?
Noticing the tense atmosphere in the ward, Xie Wanying walked up to Luo Yanfen, took the test results from her hand, and reminded her, “There are patients watching.”
What, these unrelated patients are actually peeking at her? Luo Yanfen was at a loss for words and turned to glance at Xie Wanying, saying, “Do you regret it now? I bet you wish you hadn’t come over to help. Look how unlucky I am; you’re going to be dragged down by me.”
“Saving lives isn’t about dragging anyone down,” Xie Wanying replied, “Didn’t Doctor Chen just say? If it doesn’t work, we can call the third line back.”
“Do you know who’s on duty for the third line today?”
Senior Gao? Xie Wanying listened.
“Teacher Gao is in charge of the third team, and he’s a rival to our Teacher Tan in the department,” Luo Yanfen whispered into her ear, “What do you think you should do?”
This person, what does she know? Xie Wanying lifted her eyes.
“Isn’t he your senior? We’re also very curious, why did you choose to follow Teacher Tan instead of your Senior Gao?” Luo Yanfen’s lips curved into a smile as she spoke to her.
“What choice?” Xie Wanying didn’t even need to think, saying, “Perhaps the two teachers have differences and disputes over scientific research achievements and other issues, but when it comes to saving lives, there can be no disagreement.”
Hearing her answer, Luo Yanfen’s eyelids fluttered: she felt old, her words no match for the younger generation.
“According to this test result, both PT and APTT are problematic; it’s likely more of a liver issue,” Xie Wanying discussed the coagulation function test results.
“Examine the liver.” Sharing her thought, Luo Yanfen went back to check the patient’s liver area again.
By now, the nurse had successfully inserted the triple-lumen dual-balloon catheter, inflated it, and hung a sandbag to stop the bleeding.
The orderly ran to the blood bank to pick up the blood that had been reserved for the patient in an emergency and hurried to hang the blood bag for the patient.
“If gastric bleeding is caused by high pressure in the portal vein, liver function tests are usually normal, and an ultrasound would be best,” Luo Yanfen considered.
“This proves your initial judgment was correct, and you quickly took the right measures to stop the bleeding,” Xie Wanying affirmed from across the room.
Luo Yanfen was momentarily stunned, then a bitter smile tugged at the corner of her mouth: “Are you complimenting me? Maybe it’s because I’ve seen similar cases before, so I had the instinct to do this immediately.”
“As long as the patient is saved, that’s what matters,” Xie Wanying said.
“Your attitude towards me has been strange tonight. You’ve heard something about me, haven’t you?” A sharpness flashed in Luo Yanfen’s eyes as she looked at her.
