He was not so easily fooled.
A flimsy excuse wouldn't suffice.
After inspecting the patient in bed 31, he felt secretly relieved that a conscientious and responsible resident doctor with a solid medical foundation had arrived.
Otherwise, the patient in bed 31 could have been beyond help.
Even if the patient died, the hospital wouldn't need to take any responsibility as long as the rescue effort was made.
But this was a living, breathing life!
"That was pure speculation by the new resident doctor. From bed 21 to bed 31, I have checked all the patients on time, and I am well aware of their conditions. The patient in bed 31 just had an admission test yesterday. If the brain aneurysm was going to burst, it would have burst by now."
Cheng Gang was still making all sorts of excuses.
Most irresponsible doctors are .
The moment something slightly unfavorable arises, they immediately try to shake it off cleanly.
People feed on grains; in a large forest, all kinds of people exist.
To say that everyone is a morally noble good doctor would be too naïve.
There are hospital directors who engage in affairs, embezzlement, and accepting bribes.
Some department chiefs seducing nurses are not uncommon.
Zhou Can took the patient for a cerebral angiography.
This procedure is technically difficult.
It must be performed by a doctor who has undergone specialized training.
Neurosurgery and neurology share the same examination department.
The procedure is performed by a neurology doctor.
The test results came out quickly.
The aneurysm had ruptured, and the bleeding was significant.
It had spread through most of the brain area.
No wonder the patient had severe headaches and vomiting.
Bleeding caused meningeal irritation, leading to intracranial hypertension, and ultimately a series of adverse physical reactions.
The human body has a self-protection mechanism.
Vomiting, pain, they're all self-protective.
For instance, vomiting often occurs when toxic food is consumed. This is the body's self-protection.
There's no need to mention pain.
If a body part hurts, it's a reminder that there's something wrong with it.
Imagine if humans had no pain sensation; one could plunge their hand into hot oil and get scalded without realizing. Or one could have a sharp blade slice the skin and still be oblivious.
The thought is terrifying.
Zhou Can ran to the doctor's office.
"Dr. Ou, here is the angiography report. The patient has a ruptured cerebral artery aneurysm and is continuously bleeding."
"Notify the patient immediately to fast and abstain from drinking, an operation must be arranged right away."
After reading the report, Dr. Ou looked grim.
Sustained bleeding could cause continuous intracranial pressure elevation, and if necessary, drainage to reduce pressure is required.
The sooner the surgery, the better.
"Forgive my presumption, but I've already informed the patient and their family to fast. Moreover, I checked the patient's vomit, which was all acid and bile. After asking, it turns out the patient hasn't eaten since being admitted yesterday."
"You've done very well!"
Dr. Ou looked at Zhou Can, his eyes full of appreciation.
"Cheng Gang, now the results are out, do you still think this young new doctor was making wild guesses?"
He looked at Cheng Gang, who was busy writing medical orders.
"Well... he happened to guess correctly this time. Medicine is a rigorous discipline; I don't think there was anything wrong with my approach. However, I will arrange for tests promptly next time this occurs."
Cheng Gang was stubborn like a duck.
Dr. Ou, extremely disappointed and angry, confronted him.
"Reflect on this! If today's patient didn't have Dr. Zhou's insistence on tests, what would the consequences be?"
After speaking, Dr. Ou stood up and walked out of the office.
"I'm going to talk to the family about the surgery plan right away. Dr. Zhou, if you have nothing else pressing, come with me. It will be beneficial for you. Later during surgery, you can also participate."
Dr. Ou was clearly providing Zhou Can with a form of reward through this offer.
Rewards that a senior doctor can provide include focused training, guidance, promotions, and nominations.
"I have nothing else."
Zhou Can eagerly followed.
He had never seen a brain aneurysm surgery before.
It's one of the most common surgeries in neurosurgery, reputed to be highly complex and risky.
"Why are you free now? Have you finished with the patient in bed 22?" Cheng Gang, having been upstaged by a junior doctor, was certainly resentful.
He didn't want to see Zhou Can gain benefits from following Dr. Ou.
He, a senior resident doctor, had not had the opportunity to be cultivated by Dr. Ou. Yet, a resident who had just arrived got Dr. Ou's favor.
"Dr. Jiang is taking care of the patient in bed 22; you don't have to worry!"
After saying this, Zhou Can walked away without looking back, following Dr. Ou.
Cheng Gang, left fuming behind, cursed, "They are all getting smart, one after another!"
