Chapter 669: Chapter 277: The Idea of Cutting Off, The Consequence of Undertaking Porcelain Work Without a Diamond Drill_3
Patients one could easily turn critical if delayed in treatment. When that happens, family members won’t care about the details; they will simply believe the illness was aggravated by the medication prescribed by Du Leng. And at that point, Du Leng is in danger.
The placebo he prescribed wouldn’t be discernible to family members, but the Medical Department and supervisory authorities could easily find out.
Thus, he held the examination reports and reviewed them over and over again, his expression showing hesitation and indecision, unable to provide a specific diagnosis and treatment plan.
“Doctor, how much longer? My daughter is too overweight to stand for too long.”
The obese female patient’s father began to urge him.
Having taken his daughter to Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital for consultation, he initially thought catching the experts from Tuya Hospital there was very fortunate. Yet, after a day of examinations and excitedly waiting in line with the results, he found that Dr. Du, a graduate of a prestigious foreign school, didn’t seem as impressive as expected.
A seed of distrust gradually began to sprout in the family member’s heart.
As the wait prolonged, this distrust magnified.
“Don’t start with me, waiting is truly annoying. We’ve been here for a long time! We’ve been doing tests almost all day, just waiting for Dr. Du to look at the results and determine the cause.”
The family member queuing behind the obese patient joined in with complaints.
The patient with a mild fever, hearing loss, and blurry vision clearly had pain somewhere, as her expression was very pained. She completely needed the support of her family to stand.
It wasn’t clear exactly where the pain was – it might have been her legs or hip joint.
“Seriously, it seems we’re all in the same boat! Humph, we’ve been examined for most of the day too, yet the diagnosis is still not forthcoming.”
The woman’s husband, who had been guzzling cold water, was clearly dissatisfied.
This kind of complaint and dissatisfaction could easily resonate, leading all the family members and patients who had been queueing for a long time to become increasingly discontented.
“Dr. Du, what exactly is wrong with my wife? You have to give us an answer!”
The family member urged again.
With barely any clinical experience, Du Leng was quite angry and a little panicked in the face of doubts from several family members and patients.
“I’ve already told you, her condition hasn’t been diagnosed by several hospitals; it’s not so easy to find out. If you don’t trust me, you can seek another doctor.” The source of this content ɪs NovelHub(.)net
Angry words can easily hurt.
They can easily escalate conflict.
The family had been queuing for so long, following Du Leng’s instructions for this and that test, and now Du Leng was extremely irresponsible in telling them to seek another doctor.
His statement was utterly irresponsible.
“If we didn’t trust you, we would not have come to you in the first place. You told us to take whatever tests, we’ve been troubled for half a day, you can’t just brush us off with that attitude, right?”
The family member’s face turned somewhat red, his expression serious, and his temper presumably rising.
“My attitude is fine, I am analyzing your wife’s illness earnestly here. Yet you’ve been rushing me the whole time. Like I said, if you don’t want to wait, you’re welcome to find another doctor.”
Du Leng had education and manners; getting into a slanging match with the family was out of the question.
His words were a bit sharp, carrying a bit of temper, which was only normal.
Even a clay Buddha has some anger, let alone a proud overseas-returned doctor like him.
Being questioned publicly by several family members, he certainly couldn’t save his face.
Unfortunately, he had encountered a family member with a fierce temper today.
The family member just slapped the consultation desk, sending the items on it flying several centimeters.
“Your attitude is fine? You’re taking us for fools, buffooning us? We’ve been checking for a long time, hearing so much about what her illness might be, and now you’re telling us you can’t diagnose it. Moreover, your attitude is terrible. Experts aren’t gods; they are doctors who serve the people. If you can’t diagnose illnesses, don’t sit there wasting patients’ time.”
It was unexpected that the family member with a fierce temper was also articulate when arguing.
His voice was indeed loud, probably heard by everyone in the outpatient hall.
The critical thing was that his words made some sense.
The quarrel here, which became fierce, immediately alerted Dean Tian, who was happily anticipating the publicity from having the experts’ outpatient services saving a child with severe bronchitis.
“What happened? Why is the overseas-returned doctor arguing with the family?”
Dean Tian immediately felt a headache.
Initially wanting to send an assistant dean or office director to defuse the situation, worried they couldn’t handle it, she hurriedly went to the scene herself to mediate.
“Let’s all cool down, everyone. Doctors are hardworking, and we must understand that. It’s not easy for the family and patient either, we must understand them as well. The relationship between doctors and patients should be a friendly cooperation, built on mutual trust and mutual understanding.”
Dean Tian didn’t rush to inquire about the cause upon arrival but opted to calm both sides.
“I am Dean Tian Yuxiang of Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital. If you have any complaints, you can tell me directly, and I will try to resolve them for you.”
Dean Tian tried to cool down the hotheaded family member again.
“Dean Tian, please be fair here. Dr. Du had us doing tests all day, and not only did he fail to diagnose the problem, but his attitude was also very rude. He confronted us, saying if we don’t want to wait, we can look for another doctor. Isn’t that infuriating?”
The family member was indignant.
