Chapter 638: [(638)] Obstetrics and Gynecology Emergency Consultation Chapter 638: [(638)] Obstetrics and Gynecology Emergency Consultation They could only deal with other matters after handling the patient at hand.
Once downstairs, in the sixth-floor ward, the patient was put in an extra bed and connected to a heart monitor.
Hearing that the patient had just been resuscitated, Tan Kelin, who was supposed to be off duty, put on his white coat and re-entered the ward to see the patient.
“Ask the patient’s family if they brought any previous outpatient medical records,” Tan Kelin said to his subordinates.
Sun Yubo took a student to inquire with the patient’s family outside. It was essential now to determine what medications the patient had used to avoid repeating ineffective treatments. “Yes, here.” Aunt Li took the outpatient records out of her pocket and handed them to the doctor while asking, “Doctor, how exactly is my daughter-in-law? And the baby, how is it?”
“We’ve already notified the obstetrician to come for an emergency consultation,” Sun Yubo informed the family. He flipped open the outpatient records and saw the words “acute gastroenteritis” written on them, feeling helpless and sighing in lament.
For acute appendicitis, if antibiotic conservative treatment had failed, an urgent surgery must be considered. But once misdiagnosed, the best opportunity for surgery was surely lost. A normal patient could quickly seize the last chance and get it all sorted out. However, for a pregnant woman, considering both her life and the baby’s, there were more risks involved, and whether to operate was not just up to the general surgeon; the obstetrician’s opinion was needed. In necessary cases, they had to consider the possibility of not being able to save the fetus.
Before long, someone from obstetrics arrived. It was a postgraduate student, whose doctor’s badge read Shen Xifei. Xie Wanying and others inside did not remember knowing this person. In contrast, Shen Xifei recognized Xie Wanying’s face as soon as she arrived in General Surgery Department Two.
Her good friend, Zhang Xiaohui, had suffered a major setback in this person’s hands half a year ago, resulting in her staying in the associated hospital without hope.
Shen Xifei frowned, clinching her teeth, thinking about how to obtain justice for Zhang Xiaohui.
“Where’s the patient?” asked Shen Xifei.
“Inside there.” A nurse pointed her to a treatment room with an extra bed.
Shen Xifei walked into the treatment room and looked up to see Tan Kelin standing there, her heart constricting: Oh no, what was he doing here!
Wasn’t he off work now? It should be the night shift. Even if calling for backup, they were supposed to call the second line first. This man was definitely not first-line, so why was he here?
The terror of Tan Kelin from General Surgery Department Two was well-known among the medical students at the hospital. Only those who were fearless would think of going to learn under Tan Kelin. Those who dared not would avoid him as much as they could.
“Are you an obstetrics student?” Sun Yubo turned his head, saw Shen Xifei come in, and noticed her doctor’s badge, and asked.
“Hello, teacher, I am an obstetrics postgraduate student,” replied Shen Xifei cautiously, “Teacher Xin from the first line instructed me to come over and check on the patient’s condition because she’s quite busy at the moment.”
Since it was an obstetrics teacher who sent her to check on the patient, she should be competent. Sun Yubo said to her, “You do the examination for the patient.”
“May I ask, teacher, where are the patient’s examination results?” asked Shen Xifei.
“What examination results?”
“Like ultrasounds, blood tests–”
“Didn’t you listen carefully when you were notified? The patient just had an emergency, now we have to wait for the condition to stabilize before sending for an ultrasound. Blood has been drawn, but lab tests don’t come out that quickly,” Sun Yubo said, frowning at her.
Hearing his somewhat displeased tone, Shen Xifei felt a chill: people from General Surgery Department Two were indeed as cold as the legends said.
