Chapter 624: [624] Classmate has a health problem Chapter 624: [624] Classmate has a health problem The three of them started talking about pregnant women on the way because of Li Xiaobing.
“Yesterday, I went to the gynecology operating room.” Lau Jingyun mentioned.
Xie Wanying knew that the obstetrics and gynecology department was located on the second and third floors of a separate building, with its own operating room.
“From time to time, there would be a miscarriage.” Perhaps seeing it too often, Lau Jingyun didn’t have as good an attitude towards pregnancy as Li Xiaobing did.
“What are mostly the reasons for a miscarriage?” He Xiangyu joined the discussion.
“Mostly it’s because the child can’t be saved and has to be aborted,” Lau Jingyun said, “As for why they can’t be saved, some pregnant women are indeed in poor physical condition, while others are not.”
The leading causes of natural miscarriage, unless there’s a serious disease in the mother, involve checking for genetic factors. Hence, it’s often unclear and hard to prevent.
When it was time to part ways, the two seniors asked Xie Wanying, “Have you taken your rotation exam yet?”
The nearly three months of general surgery internship were coming to an end. The rotation exam was imminent. Xie Wanying nodded and said, “I took the written exam yesterday, which lasted an hour. As for the practical exam, the teacher said to look for an opportunity, still searching.”
The written exam was not difficult at all for the academic prodigy junior sister.
The practical exam, however, was a different story. Fortunately, Tan Kelin wasn’t looking to give the students a hard time this time, even suggesting that students could choose their own cases to work on. But time was getting tighter.
At Guoxie, major surgeries were numerous, and she couldn’t be the chief surgeon for a major surgery. Teacher Sun had said, if they had known earlier, they would have let her perform that elective appendectomy two weeks ago. This suggested that the teachers were actually considering letting her try being the chief surgeon for a simple laparoscopic operation.
Returning to the department for work, and just before leaving for the day, Xie Wanying had to deliver a consultation form to the Hepatobiliary Surgery department. Li Qi’an and Zhao Zhaowei followed behind her. “Their group also needs to request a consultation from Hepatobiliary Surgery,” Li Qi’an said, pointing at Zhao Zhaowei.
The three classmates went together, which was more companionable and gave them a chance to talk on the way. The elevator was crowded, so they took a detour through the hospital building’s rear fire escape staircase, which was secluded and only known by medical staff and not frequented by others.
First, they needed to go to the second floor where Xie Wanying had to retrieve a pathology result for a patient. After getting the form, they headed to the Hepatobiliary Surgery department on the ninth floor. Climbing up and down the stairs, halfway through, Zhao Zhaowei started to breathe heavily. Xie Wanying and Li Qi’an accompanied him to sit midway on the stairs for a rest.
Holding a small notebook, Li Qi’an fanned Zhao Zhaowei and asked him, “Aren’t you trying hard to lose weight?”
“Yes, I’ve been really trying,” Zhao Zhaowei said, wiping the sweat off his face with his short sleeve.
“I know the class leader had you go running and that you must restrict your diet,” Li Qi’an remembered the plan arranged by the class leader.
Yue Wentong was truly a responsible class leader, who, upon learning that a classmate’s health was deteriorating, began to forcefully persuade the classmate to lose weight. If they didn’t, he feared the classmate would be in trouble.
It’s just that after almost two months of losing weight, other classmates didn’t seem to notice much improvement in Zhao Zhaowei’s physical strength. He did slim down a bit, but he seemed weakened, which was the opposite of what one would expect from diet and exercise.
Xie Wanying’s gaze swept over Student Zhao’s face as if she were an X-ray machine.
Feeling her gaze, Zhao Zhaowei got nervous and asked, “Yingying, why are you looking at my face?”
“Are you maybe eating too little for your three meals, feeling very hungry at night, and then going for a late-night snack?” Xie Wanying asked him.
“I wouldn’t dare!” Zhao Zhaowei immediately denied it.
“If not, you might need to be admitted for a comprehensive checkup to see if there’s any other reason that your health has declined after losing weight,” Xie Wanying said.
