Chapter 473: [473] Additional chapter for monthly pass votes Chapter 473: [473] Additional chapter for monthly pass votes “The medical records are here,” Zhao Wenzong, not wanting to delay, hurriedly took the medical records out of his briefcase. Because Xie Wanying had mentioned that Cao Yong was a neurosurgery expert from Guoxie, typically impossible to get an appointment with.
The medical records comprised a stack of photocopies placed in front of Cao Yong. Picking them up, Cao Yong glanced first at the patient’s name.
Zhao Wenzong added from the side, “On the way here, I showed them to Yingying. She suggested that we should observe the patient’s condition further, to see if there are any other symptoms besides dizziness and if there’s any relief. If the symptoms are not prominent and you are still concerned, you can go to a large hospital in the province, like Zhongshan Medical Affiliated Hospital, and redo the brain CT to confirm whether these small white spots are hemorrhages or physiological calcifications.”
“Who is the patient to you?” Cao Yong looked up, his gentle gaze masking a sharp edge as it swept across Zhao Wenzong’s facial expressions.
As expected, upon hearing this question, Zhao Wenzong’s face betrayed a flicker of panicky evasion. Adjusting his glasses, he tried to sound composed, “She’s a relative of mine, not in the Capital but in our hometown. She heard I had a classmate studying at Guoxie, so she asked me to inquire how serious her condition is. Doctors in small local hospitals definitely aren’t as good as those in the Capital’s major hospitals.”
“The equipment in small local hospitals isn’t necessarily much worse than that in the Capital. As far as I know, many local hospitals have CT machines that are also imported from Germany; there isn’t much of a difference,” said Cao Yong. “Yingying is right; it’s okay to just observe for the time being. If you’re still not assured, then visit a hospital in your provincial capital.”
“Wouldn’t it be better for her to take some medication?”
“If there are no symptoms and no bleeding or ischemia has been found, what medication should she take?”
Xie Wanying, sitting across, sensed that Senior Cao’s tone was somewhat cold, unlike his usual warm approach to patients and their families. What’s the matter?
Hearing what was said, Zhao Wenzong could only gather the medical records back.
“I have something private to discuss with her,” Cao Yong said to him directly.
Zhao Wenzong got the message, nodded and apologized, “Yes, sorry, I’ll leave now. Yingying, see you next time.”
“Yes–” Xie Wanying felt the pace of the events was a bit too rapid. In her original expectation, she thought she might witness Senior Cao going through a patient’s medical record analysis, but it ended in the blink of an eye.
Maybe Senior Brother didn’t like reviewing medical records in public, Xie Wanying thought.
Zhao Wenzong left with his briefcase on his back.
Cao Yong watched his hasty retreat, clearly sensing his guilt from being probed, and a hint of solemnity settled in the depths of his eyes.
“Senior Brother,” Xie Wanying opened the menu, “What would you like to eat?”
“I’ve ordered for the both of us in advance,” Cao Yong turned back to her, his voice gentle, telling her, “This way, if you’re hungry, you won’t have to wait too long.”
Senior Cao was too considerate, especially since it was she who had invited him. Xie Wanying thought to herself, facepalming inwardly, she would need to learn from Li Xuan.
Looking at the oblivious face across from her, Cao Yong thought to himself: Just as Zhu Huicang said, the junior sister is naive with little social experience.
The photocopied medical record that her high school classmate had brought earlier would have led an inexperienced doctor to rush to check the results. A doctor with some social experience would first carefully examine the header, checking whether the patient’s name or other details showed signs of being falsified.
Photocopied medical records are the easiest to fake. Usually, it’s not about falsifying the check-up results–after all, a doctor would be reviewing it. Falsification occurs in patient’s names, ages, or even genders, with one purpose in mind: to keep the patient’s sensitive identity unknown to the doctor.
