After more than twenty minutes, they finally found the area Zhou Can was responsible for, beds 115 to 124.
"Director Shen, hello! I am Hee Zhang, the attending doctor for beds 115 to 124."
Doctor He is really funny.
With a slouching shoulder, slightly bent waist, he greeted Director Shen with a beaming smile.
Perhaps too nervous, he stammered a little and his hands trembled quite severely.
Don't mock him for being so obsequious.
Everyone wants to climb up the ladder. As a low-level resident doctor, if he could get Director Shen's recognition, his fate could immediately change.
Even just leaving a good impression in Director Shen's mind would be great.
"You've worked hard! The attending doctor knows the patients' conditions the best, please briefly introduce each patient's situation to us!"
Director Shen said kindly, smiling.
Doctor He immediately stood up straight and began to introduce the condition of each patient using the simplest language.
The first few patients didn't have major issues, and Director Shen only asked a few simple questions.
When introducing the woman who kept screaming "I'm going to die," Director Shen listened intently.
And then he carefully reviewed her medical reports one by one.
Especially the images taken.
"This hip joint is cracked, and not just in one place; the surgical plan is a bit complicated!"
After reviewing it, Director Shen handed the medical report to the exceptionally fair-skinned Doctor Shan.
Taking it, she examined the patient's images carefully against the light.
"Indeed, it is complicated, and she also has symptoms of osteoporosis; the outcome of the repair is yet to be assessed."
After viewing, Doctor Shan gave her opinion.
"We might need to consult Director Luo, who specializes in bones and joints, to discuss comprehensively about patient's nutrition, surgery repair or replacing the entire hip joint to evaluate the best surgical plan."
Treatment for hip joint fractures is inherently difficult.
Because it's a stress point between the lower limbs and upper body and is also a movable part.
"Who is the family member?"
"This is the patient's son. Single-parent family, the patient was injured in a car accident, it's entirely the driver's fault, and the insurance company is already handling it."
Doctor He quickly introduced.
The thorough preparation done before welcoming Director Shen now proved useful.
At least the answers pleased all the senior doctors present.
"Young man, since your mother's injury is on the hip joint and involves multiple fractures, we must discuss thoroughly before finalizing the best treatment plan. It might take two to three days, and we will contact you for a discussion once a decision is made."
Director Shen proactively explained to the family member.
The young man just nodded indifferently, then realized there was nothing else, and continued to focus on his gaming.
Thus goes the saying, sparing the rod spoils the child, and there is reason in it.
This young man, not inherently bad, but his utter indifference to his mother's pain and focusing only on his game must be the result of being overly pampered and spoiled by his mother from a young age.
Director Shen just looked at the young man with a smile and then moved on to the next bed.
Doctor He was about to introduce, but Director Shen gestured to stop.
"I know this patient. I performed the surgery myself."
He looked at the man on the bed.
"Have you had any water or food after the surgery?"
"Had a bowl of porridge."
"Is the urine color still normal?"
"Hmm, seems not bad. To save your leg, our entire medical team performed a surgery for a whole eleven hours. If there is no rejection in the first seven days post-surgery, then essentially, we can consider the leg saved."
Director Shen lifted the covers to check the patient's leg.
"The color and temperature of the foot look good. It seems that Doctor Shan's technique in connecting blood vessels and nerves has reached a high level!"
"It's all thanks to your guidance that I was able to progress so quickly."
Doctor Shan's emotional intelligence is quite high.
In front of her superior, she did not flaunt her competence.
Zhou Can looked at Doctor He, hoping he would seize this opportunity to report the slight swelling and bruising of the patient. But Doctor He pretended not to have seen it.
He thought the patient's swelling was just a normal post-operative reaction.
Raising an objection in public might upset Director Shen and Doctor Shan who personally performed the surgery.
Offending people sometimes truly happens in the blink of an eye.
Especially now when the atmosphere is good, and Director Shen is very satisfied with the surgery he performed.
Director Shan feels even prouder.
Raising an objection now, if the issue was severe, would be one thing.
But merely slight swelling, when two senior doctors are in high spirits and proud, questioning their surgical skills might not end well.
One could guess the possible outcome with their toes.
Seeing Doctor He being so timid, Zhou Can felt it necessary to seize this rare opportunity to report to Director Shen.
Seeing that Director Shen was about to move to the next bed after asking a few questions,
Zhou Can plucked up the courage and said, "Director Shen..."
As he started to speak, Doctor He suddenly pulled on his clothes forcefully.
And shook his head slightly.
Signaling him not to speak at this moment.
"Do you have something to say?"
Director Shen looked at Zhou Can in surprise.
Many resident doctors he couldn't name, let alone new trainees.
"The patient reports leg swelling and pain!"
Zhou Can was determined to speak; now was not the time to consider personal gains or losses, but to strive to save the patient's leg. If there really was an issue with the surgery, it needed to be corrected timely.
