Chapter 654: Student Xie, who is single-minded [654] Chapter 654: Student Xie, who is single-minded [654] “First, answer your senior’s questions properly,” Xie Wanying said. “The first time I saw him exhibit symptoms of jaundice was in the afternoon. Even though we were interning in the same department, we were in different groups and didn’t see each other often, so I’m not sure when he started developing jaundice, and he can’t remember clearly either. When I saw him again tonight, his jaundice didn’t seem to have worsened rapidly. I personally think that it might be jaundice caused by gallstones in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts. He had been trying to lose weight, and perhaps his methods became too aggressive. I asked him if he had any late-night snacks when he was hungry. He said he hadn’t. I suspect he already had gallstones, and not eating breakfast properly in the morning may have exacerbated his condition.”
So even if you’re losing weight, you should still have a good breakfast.
“Mm-hmm.” After listening to her, Tao Zhijie turned to ask Song Xueling, who was sitting at the back, “Xiao Song, do you think the same way?”
“My thoughts are not quite the same. I suspect he has developed a hepatic abscess. His jaundice might seem minor, but his overall physical weakness can’t have developed in just a day or two,” Song Xueling said.
A group of doctors started discussing their two somewhat different analyses.
“It seems like there’s some truth to both, let’s do an ultrasound.”
“If the ultrasound shows a hepatic abscess, Xiao Song’s diagnosis is likely to be more accurate. If it shows gallstones in the bile duct, it would confirm what she said.”
“No matter what, hospitalization is definitely needed.”
Hearing the words “hospitalization,” Zhao Zhaowei hurriedly gestured to Student Xie, motioning in secret: Get this ‘Buddha’ to take pity on me quickly.
Noticing his gesture, Tao Zhijie squinted at Xie Wanying, “Do you think his condition isn’t serious and he doesn’t need to be hospitalized?”
“I never said that,” Xie Wanying firmly denied, “I did suggest he should be hospitalized for a checkup. Hospitalization allows for more thorough examinations. On the other hand, his development of jaundice indicates that his symptoms have become severe and he needs to be hospitalized for treatment as soon as possible.”
This was indeed the truth. Li Qi’an could testify to it, and there was another person who could also vouch for her words.
“She did say to have him hospitalized,” Song Xueling spoke out.
He Guangyou and the others turned their heads sharply towards him: Was this Beidu native speaking up for her?
It wasn’t about speaking up for anyone, it was simply the fact of the matter. Song Xueling’s face might as well have had this line written on it. It was only after hearing her words in the stairwell that he became interested in this case, this patient.
“Why did you accompany him here, what were you prepared to say?” Qiu Ruiyun asked, pointing at Xie Wanying, doubting that including Tao Zhijie, they could understand the reason for her presence. Judging from Zhao Zhaowei’s expression, it was clear that it wasn’t his own decision to come for hospitalization. If Zhao Zhaowei were willing to be hospitalized, there would be no need for further discussion.
“Teacher, he said he’s willing to be checked. Can Teacher keep his condition confidential for now? Let him adjust his state of mind first. For instance, before informothers, get his consent,” this was Xie Wanying’s understanding of her classmate’s plea for help.
After hearing her words, Zhao Zhaowei was the first to pull a “good grief” face: Student Xie was too straightforward. He may have said it that way, but how could that be all there was to it? He didn’t want to be hospitalized!
Tao Zhijie’s hand unconsciously touched his mouth, probably to cover a laugh: Other people had mentioned before that this junior sister was straightforward, but he had been pondering what exactly they meant. Now he understood.
Given the circumstances, Student Zhao must be hospitalized. Xie Wanying certainly wouldn’t go against her principles, but she could sympathize with her classmate’s feelings.
