Under Dean Li’s expectant gaze, Rong Yan could only nod, "Then let’s go take a look."
People do return favors quite quickly.
Dean Li was very pleased upon hearing this, "Let’s go."
Rong Yan’s bottom had barely warmed her seat before she got up and followed him out.
Because the cardiology department was in another building.
So it did take some time to walk there.
Rong Yan felt that this hospital... deserved to be Jing City First Hospital, indeed much better than other hospitals.
"We’re here, let’s go in."
Rong Yan glanced at the ward in front of her. It seemed that the patient was not simple, residing in a private room.
Dean Li pushed open the door to the ward.
"Xiao Shi, reading a book?"
His tone was somewhat gentle, which made Rong Yan take an extra look at the man sitting on the bed with a book... no, more accurately, a boy or a teenager.
It had to be said, the youth’s features were quite delicate, but his complexion was of the pale, bloodless kind, the look of someone unwell.
He really seemed to be seriously ill, even his lips were frighteningly purplish.
Shi Zhen looked up towards the door, and when he saw an attractive girl coming in, he was momentarily stunned.
Then his gaze moved back to Dean Li.
"How’s your body feeling today? Any discomfort?" asked Dean Li.
"Not bad..." These past days, he felt so ill he couldn’t even sleep well, not to mention doing anything else.
In fact, he had some trouble concentrating on his book.
But what could he do? Lying down made him feel even worse, so he could only sit up for a while and casually glance over a book... to distract himself.
But who was this person Old Li brought? Why bring her here?
From their conversations, Rong Yan could tell that their relationship was more than just that of a dean, a doctor, and a patient.
They were quite familiar with each other.
Dean Li noticed Shi Zhen’s gaze and said, "Xiao Shi, let me introduce you. This is an expert from the Military District Hospital, named Doctor Rong. She’ll examine you."
Rong Yan: ...Can we not hang the term ’expert’ on me so casually?
She felt like a ’brick expert,’ moved wherever needed, and it was getting a bit overwhelming.
And Shi Zhen’s expression became noticeably astonished and shocked after hearing Dean Li’s words.
He thought he had heard wrong.
Otherwise... how could this girl, who looked about his own age, be that ’expert’?
But when the girl approached his bed, and called on him to extend his arm, he realized he hadn’t heard wrong.
Dean Li saw him staring blankly and urged him, "Xiao Shi, stretch out your hand so Mr. Rong can examine you."
Without a word, he set down his book and stretched out his left hand.
Rong Yan’s hand rested on his pulse... The ward was silent, the only sound was that of his heartbeat.
A long minute passed.
"Switch to the other hand," said Rong Yan, her voice somewhat clear and bright.
Shi Zhen glanced at her, then switched hands.
Dean Li stayed silent, watching Rong Yan intently.
Not until she withdrew her hand did he ask, "How is it?"
"His heart is quite serious. It’s a hereditary familial condition. Normally, his heart could stand for a while longer, but did he engage in any strenuous exercise before the illness struck, leading to an excessive burden on the heart?"
Upon hearing what she said, Shi Zhen couldn’t help but give her another look.
At this point, Dean Li nodded, "Right, this onset was because he saved a drowning person last week, then fell ill... and has been hospitalized ever since."
Noble people really are everywhere.
Knowing he had a heart condition, he still dared to dive in to save someone.
"When did you learn to swim? When you were young?"
Rong Yan guessed as much; in his childhood, his heart condition probably wasn’t so severe.
"His heart valve has fractured and detached, and requires immediate surgical repair." The medical technology at home is lacking.
She remembered reading a news report... the first coronary stent surgery was in the eighties.
Which means it doesn’t exist yet.
Dean Li’s eyes burned with a fervent gaze as he looked at her, "Can you perform the surgery?" His tone laced with nervous excitement that even he did not notice.
Rong Yan did not hesitate, "I can do it, and moreover, it needs to be done soon."
"What’s the success rate for the surgery?" Dean Li had to ask.
They hadn’t undertaken the surgery at their hospital because not one of their best cardiologists was confident enough.
Whether it was the drugs, the medical equipment, or the techniques... none of them were top-notch.
"If calculated out of ten, eighty percent," Rong Yan stated, knowing she couldn’t claim it would be absolutely risk-free, although she wouldn’t let a surgery she knew fail under her watch.
She would only operate if she was completely confident.
Upon hearing this, Dean Li’s eyes brightened further, knowing that eighty percent practically guaranteed success.
"I’ll talk to his family about this, then we can have a meeting afterwards."
Then she turned to Shi Zhen, and seeing that his complexion was ten times worse than when they first entered, his lips even bluer, and his hand clutching toward his chest, she asked, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable in your heart right now?"
Shi Zhen indeed felt very uncomfortable, a sudden onset, right at that moment.
A fine sweat continuously broke out across his forehead.
He took a moment to breathe, his heart feeling slightly better afterward.
Then he looked up at the attractive person and slowly shook his head, "It’s okay..."
Rong Yan, hearing his reply, couldn’t help but arch an eyebrow, believe that... yeah, right.
She simply turned to Dean Li, "Dean Li, I’d like to give him acupuncture. Would you agree? It can alleviate some of the discomfort in his heart; otherwise, he’ll probably have a hard time sleeping tonight."
As for performing the procedure... that required their agreement, otherwise, she wouldn’t rashly do so.
Dean Li had talked to Hao Zheng for half an hour before he believed that the girl in front of him was an impressive medical prodigy.
If even this could cause a problem, then how would they perform the surgery?
Rong Yan had been carrying her medical kit all along.
So now, after setting down the medical kit, she opened it... Sterilization all in one go.
Has anyone asked for my opinion?
Isn’t my opinion important?
After all, I’m the one getting the acupuncture, right?
Also, is she really competent? Or is she just winging it?
Watching the silver needle about to pierce his skin in a few seconds, he found the strength to speak, "... Dean Li, I think..."
I’m fine , no need to go through that.
Dean Li: "Xiao Shi, don’t be nervous, try to relax."
If only someone older came, I would believe that.
