At first sight, Master Liu was completely smitten, lost in a daze, following the group like a fool. Unfortunately, Ding Yuqin was too focused to even notice him.
The entire floor belongs to the surgical ward, with most patients suffering from muscle and bone injuries, the most serious of which are limb fractures. With today's medical technology, these are not considered difficult cases, and most are in a stable recovery period. The leading figure is the chief physician of this department, also a renowned surgical expert in the hospital and even in the province. Following are various attending physicians, and at the back are rookies like Ding Yuqin.
It is already a great honor to be able to follow a famous doctor. During the ward rounds, the senior expert is very economical with words, but each word is invaluable. Especially for novices like Ding Yuqin, it is extremely beneficial. Therefore, Xiaoqin listens attentively, while Liu, who is regarded as a spectator, observes her attentively, trying to deepen his understanding. Of course, this depends on Xiaoqin's white coat today seems to be a bit shorter than a few days ago... …
Everything is basically stable, with details being taken care of by the attending physician. Ward rounds are just a general walk-through, which can be somewhat formalized. However, it is very helpful for patients to hear the senior doctor say 'good, very good,' which greatly aids in their recovery.
Until the last ward, which may have been converted from a conference room, is a large ward that accommodates ten beds. With patients' families present, the ward is chaotic and noisy. A group of doctors looked around and found nothing unusual. However, as they approached the last bed, a woman in her thirties, dressed plainly, suddenly opened her eyes and saw a doctor. She became extremely emotional, rushed to the side of the senior doctor, knelt down, tears streaming down her face, choked up and said, "Director, please save my child..." "
The repeated repetition of this sentence by the elder sister-in-law left the old director completely confused. Hastily instructing the other doctors behind him to help the woman up, he himself approached the bed. On the bed lay a seven or eight-year-old boy, his small body wrapped in a white blanket. His innocent face featured a pair of big, bright eyes, but at the moment, due to his illness, his eyelids drooped, his pupils constricted, and his mental state was not very good, which was distressing to see. Seeing the little one who came, there was some joy in his eyes, with a still lively sparkle shining. His family sat around him, showing concern and encouraging him to cooperate with the doctor's examination, coaxing and deceiving him, but the child never showed any fear or panic, indeed a sensible child.
The child did not wear clothes because he needed to be examined. The old director lifted the blanket, and the most striking thing was his left leg, with bandages wrapped around the knee. The bandages were swollen and the skin was dark red, tense and shiny. The old director turned his head and immediately a middle-aged doctor stepped forward, saying, "Director, this child is under my care. When he was brought in, his knee ligament was torn due to an external injury. The ligament repair has been done and the recovery is very stable." "
No... The sister-in-law suddenly shouted, startling all the doctors. The chief physician looked at him with a malicious gaze, clearly trying to embarrass him in front of the leader. However, the sister-in-law was worried about the child and couldn't care much. She anxiously said, "Director, this child used to complain of intermittent leg pain. A few days ago, he was hit by a bicycle. But since the surgery, the pain has become more severe. He has been in pain for several nights without sleep. The child is still young and can't bear it. Please, save the child!" "
As the sister-in-law was about to kneel down again, Xiaoqin, who had a kind heart, supported her and comforted her softly. The sister-in-law then shifted her desperate gaze to the director. The head nurse nodded to signal her to calm down, turned around and said to the attending physician, "Go get the child's pathology report for me to review." "
Director, this... Isn't this against the rules? The attending doctor hesitated and said, 'This is a purely private hospital with a good reputation, but profit is the main goal here. Patients are the doctors' source of income. Moreover, this young patient has always been under his care. If something goes wrong, it's not a big deal. But if the chief physician finds a problem, it would reflect poorly on his abilities. How could he continue working here in the future?'
The old director naturally understood his intention, a hint of helplessness flashed across his face. After all, he had to abide by the rules of the hospital to make a living here. He couldn't bear to look at the child's mother and sighed softly, "Family member, right?" Since the child has already undergone surgery, let's observe first. The pain may be due to the surgical wound healing. Let's observe for now! "
As the old director was about to leave, just as the sister-in-law was about to lose her last hope and prepare to wail, a figure suddenly flashed out and stood in front of the old director, scolding in a tender voice, "You are being irresponsible!" "
It was then that everyone realized that the person who dared to speak out was actually Ding Yuqin, the youngest and most beautiful member of the medical team. Mr. Liu secretly praised her in his heart. Yuqin calmly said, "Director, Dr. Liu, just now the family member mentioned that the patient can't sleep due to the lack of pain. From your professional perspective, is this a normal reaction during the healing process after surgery?" I suspect there may be other hidden issues with the child's knee bones and hope to further examine them. "
Xiao Ding, don't be too reckless! "Dr. Liu, the attending physician, snorted, 'You have no right to speak here. This is my patient who has undergone surgery and is currently stable and recovering. If you don't understand, then don't speak out of turn. Furthermore, even if there are hidden illnesses, the former director should not be diagnosing. If the patient's family needs it, they can request a specialist consultation or a joint consultation. Don't break the rules!" "
I have to say, Director Liu makes a lot of sense. Seeing the despair on his sister-in-law's face, and the child blinking innocently with big eyes, enduring the torment of illness, Xiaoqin biting her red lips tightly, on the verge of eruption, Master Liu seized the opportunity and stepped forward. If he doesn't act now, when will he?
Alright, I've heard all of your conversation. "Master Liu said calmly, all the doctors looked at this man who was wrapped in gauze with one hand and holding a splint with the other, wearing autumn clothes in over thirty-degree weather. Ding Yuqin recognized Master Liu at a glance, but was puzzled. Master Liu just smiled faintly, turned around, and pulled out his ID card from his pocket with his fingers, flashing it in front of the patient's mother, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I am an investigator from the Medical Accident Investigation Department of the local Health Bureau. I suspect that your child may have suffered a medical accident, leading to abnormal pain symptoms. You now have the right to apply for a medical accident appraisal from the health department." "
