"Emergency acute abdominal patient, had been observed in emergency at another hospital, and internal medicine treatment did not alleviate the condition; family urgently brought him to our emergency department seeking help. A distinct mass can be felt in the abdomen, had a CT scan, and needs exploratory laparotomy."
Xie Wanying memorized the patient's condition as described by Teacher Liu, word by word.
Sister Lingling, worried about the availability of hospital beds, said into the phone, "Doctor Zhong, we have no beds left in our department."
"Move the patients who are due for discharge tomorrow out to the corridor for now; we must admit such emergency cases!" Doctor Zhong said bluntly on the other end of the line.
With the doctor's words, the nurses could only seek help to organize a bed. Then Lingling turned back to ask the doctor, "Given the patient's condition, he goes straight to the OR before being admitted to the ward, right?"
