Only the way of living is different.
He wanted to live with more dignity.
He would rather earn extra points through diligent study and hard work than by currying favor with superiors in a servile manner.
He would occasionally engage in flattery, but it was much more sophisticated than that of Luo Shengsheng.
His flattery was always of a high level.
"Oh... I remember now. Last time in the Intensive Care Medicine Department there was a patient with lower gastrointestinal bleeding, you called me about it. Later I heard you diagnosed it, the young fellow is pretty competent."
Dr. Xia remembered this incident vividly.
That patient had been under his care for a long time without improvement and was eventually transferred to the Intensive Care Medicine Department, his life hanging by a thread, preparing for the end at any moment.
Unexpectedly, a young resident doctor named Zhou Can discovered the real cause, which was an infection by a parasite never seen before.
The patient was cured, which effectively was a slap in the face for Dr. Xia.
Hence, Dr. Xia had a deep memory of this incident.
Today, he was probably going to be "slapped" again.
"How did Dr. Zhou know that the patient in bed 51 was experiencing gastrointestinal bleeding?"
Dr. Xia had learned from his previous oversight and did not take it lightly this time.
"I came in this morning for the report and just happened to pass by when I saw a physician checking the vital signs of the patient in bed 51..."
Zhou Can recounted the events.
"So, I suggest doing a gastrointestinal angiography on the patient immediately and handle it promptly to avoid a tragedy."
"Organizing a gastrointestinal imaging requires booking with the Interventional department. You just glimpsed and determined it’s bleeding from the jejunum or ileum?" Dr. Xia now took this matter seriously.
Yet, he still held doubts about Zhou Can’s diagnosis.
Not just Zhou Can, even he, a physician with over twenty years of experience, couldn’t identify the bleeding site with just a few looks.
Especially with gastrointestinal bleeding, it’s extremely difficult to pinpoint.
Suddenly, a nurse ran into the office, panicking.
"Dr. Xia, Dr. Xia, please come quickly, the patient in bed 51 has suddenly worsened and deteriorated, and is now nearly in shock! Dr. Zhang who is in charge of the bed is doing his best to save him, and asked me to report immediately."
The tragedy still occurred.
Zhou Can sighed inwardly.
He felt that the doctors in Digestive Internal Medicine should be sent to train in the Intensive Care Medicine Department for a few months.
To let them experience what it’s like when a patient could die in front of them the next second.
Diseases of the digestive tract are generally chronic, seldom leading to sudden death. Normally, the progression is slow, giving physicians ample time to treat.
Treating these types of patients for a long time has led to a somewhat slow responsive working style among Digestive Internal Medicine physicians.
"I’ll go right away!"
Dr. Xia didn’t even have time to think further; he hurriedly ran to the ward.
A mistake had happened, and he had to take primary responsibility.
Moreover, it happened after repeated warnings from Zhou Can, hence the responsibility was even greater.
"Damn, it really happened!"
Luo Shengsheng looked at Zhou Can now with a completely different gaze.
Not just him, the other two interns in the office also looked at Zhou Can with almost a revered adoration.
This resident doctor was simply prediction itself.
Zhou Can stood up and looked towards Luo Shengsheng.
"Ah... yes, yes! Whatever Dr. Zhou instructs, just say." Luo Shengsheng voluntarily lowered his posture to the extreme.
He even used the word "instruct."
"I’ll go to the ward to observe, the patient has already progressed to shock, there may not be much time left for the doctors to save him. When Dr. Chi arrives, please explain the situation."
Zhou Can, whether in terms of resuscitation or interventional and endoscopic surgeries, had outstanding skills.
Going to see might be able to help.
During emergency situations, medical personnel are duty-bound to save patients; this is an obligation and basic professional ethics.
Zhou Can arrived at the ward to see the patient already unconscious, the family members beside them in deep sorrow, and the attending physician frantically performing necessary resuscitation measures.
"Immediately take the patient to the Interventional department for an urgent gastrointestinal angiography."
Dr. Xia’s expression was somber.
Seeing the patient’s condition and with his decades of medical experience, he felt his heart sink to the bottom.
Knowing the situation was dire.
There was a high chance that today, a major setback was imminent which could severely affect his career and future.
At this moment, Dr. Xia had a tinge of regret.
If he had listened to Zhou Can’s advice immediately rather than hesitating and asking questions, perhaps this situation would have been avoided.
"Now that the person has had an accident, you only agree to do the imaging. Earlier, when Dr. Zhou suggested doing the imaging, you refused. If my father suffers any harm, even if it costs me everything I own, I will sue to the utmost, making sure that your negligent practice receives the punishment it deserves!"
The patient’s son erupted completely in that moment.
Any family member would probably be furious.
Over twenty minutes ago, Zhou Can had advised Dr. Zhang to urgently take the patient for a gastrointestinal imaging.
Instead, Dr. Zhang reprimanded Zhou Can.
Now that the patient seemed to be nearing the end, the senior hospital physicians finally agreed to the imaging.
To the patient’s family, this appeared to be a deliberate delay until the patient was nearly dead before starting treatment.
"现在不是吵闹的时候,赶紧设法抢救患者的生命才是最重要的.人一但陷入休克,将会非常危险,随时可能丧命."
Currently, it isn’t a time for arguing, but rather it is crucial to quickly take measures to save the patient’s life. Once someone falls into shock, it becomes extremely dangerous, and they may lose their life at any moment.
