Chapter 285: 【285】Who got hit by a car? Chapter 285: 【285】Who got hit by a car? “Sure, sure. Just follow me, and if anyone asks, you say you’re an intern. Actually, patients don’t ask; they’re very smart and know we’re medical students,” Xie Wanying surveyed her classmate’s attire and found no issues.
Li Qi’an swaggered behind her into the ward to study.
In the ward, a family member from bed 3 saw them come in and said, “Dr. Xie, bed 2 says he’s having some trouble urinating; can you check on him?”
“That can be checked by Dr. Luo. Dr. Luo’s doctoral studies were in the field of urology,” Xie Wanying explained to the patient.
Luo Yanfen had been standing to the side, turning her head away when family members approached other doctors. Suddenly, upon hearing Xie Wanying reveal her specialty, she turned back immediately. What she didn’t expect was that bed 2’s patient’s gaze was now fixed on her, looking expectantly.
“Please take a look at him, Dr. Luo. I am not a urologist; you’re the specialist,” Xie Wanying said to her.
Luo Yanfen felt like rolling her eyes at her, even more so because she knew her intentions.
The patient did not trust her. What was she looking at? But in the end, this was a patient under her care. With this in mind, Luo Yanfen went to bed 2 to examine the patient, “You’re having trouble urinating, you could have told me. Turn to the side; let me tap your back to check for the possibility of kidney stones.”
The patient, who had turned over on the bed, was already saying when he heard her words, “Dr. Luo, did you know I had stones before?”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier about your condition? Have you had kidney stones before?”
“The doctors said it’s possible,” said the patient.
“How can they be certain without an examination? Tomorrow, I will schedule an ultrasound for you; it’s essential to get tested. Isn’t it better to treat other illnesses while you’re admitted?”
The patient from bed 2 nodded.
Li Qi’an approached bed 1 and carefully observed the tri-lumen double-balloon catheter.
Xie Wanying checked her watch. It was nearly nine o’clock; she planned to check on bed 7 and then head back to the dorm to sleep.
Luo Yanfen finished examining bed 2 and took her phone out of her pocket.
“Yan Fen, what should I do? Your uncle’s condition is critical—” The woman on the other end had just begun to speak when she burst into loud sobs.
“Who is this?” Luo Yanfen asked.
“It’s me, Yan Fen. Ah Tao went on a business trip, didn’t he? He hasn’t returned. I called him, and for some reason, he didn’t pick up. Maybe he’s still in a meeting?”
Ah Tao was her boyfriend’s name; therefore, the woman currently on the phone was meant to be her future mother-in-law. However, just this evening, Ah Tao had told her he wanted to break up.
Luo Yanfen frowned tightly, tempted to hang up the phone.
Her breakup with her boyfriend was prompted by his parents’ insistence, wasn’t it?
Yet, as a doctor who is accustomed to hearing about patients in critical conditions, she habitually asked, “What happened to uncle?”
“He got hit by a car!” the person replied.
“Was he taken to the hospital?” Luo Yanfen inquired.
“He has been, and he’s currently at the Chui Liu Emergency Department. They say they can’t treat him here and that he should be transferred to another hospital. Ah Tao isn’t around; I’m trying to contact his colleagues. His colleague said it’s best to transfer him to a third-grade A-level hospital, and, of course, Guoxie would be the best—”
This woman, who had pressured her son to break up with her, was now weeping before her about her husband’s dire state. Luo Yanfen was once again confronted with this surreal situation.
“Please save your uncle, Yan Fen! Aren’t you at Guoxie? Can you transfer your uncle to your hospital and save him, please? I’m begging you—your uncle even wanted to be like a father to you.”
