My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1204 - 475: Unlocking the Patient’s Heart with One Sentence, Admitting Tough Cases (Part 3)
Previously on My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points...
Zhou Can addressed the patient's mother.
Kids frequently reveal only the positive updates to their folks while concealing the troubles. Mothers and fathers often judge the matter wrongly just from outward signs, assuming something's amiss with their offspring.
Truth be told, the youngsters could be striving far more intensely than their parents realize.
"It's my fault, I'll definitely improve starting now." Upon hearing this, the patient's mother brimmed with deeper remorse. "Oh son, it's all Mom's doing, I shouldn't have talked to you that way. Recover quickly, and once you're back home, I'll whip up some tasty treats for you."
She grasped her son's hand, feeling the rough calluses covering it.
Because of Zhou Can's prompt, she now understood how much her boy had endured away from home. It wasn't as she had assumed—he wasn't lazing through days and roaming without purpose at nights.
"Mom..."
The patient whispered softly, his eyes turning misty, uttering the word to his mother for the first time since his sickness began.
This signified that his bitterness toward his mother had vanished, untying the tangle in their bond.
"Oh! My dear boy, it was I who mistreated you—hurry and heal! I'll stop scolding you from here on." Overwhelmed with delight, the patient's mother clutched her son's hand firmly.
Nearby, the sister silently brushed away her tears.
Zhou Can had grown used to seeing such heartfelt family moments, keeping his face mostly neutral.
"The patient's chest appears even on both sides, with no signs of subcutaneous emphysema, a minor swelling on the left side, markedly reduced breathing action in the left lung. Tapping the left chest produces a resonant drum sound, listening shows no air flow noises in the left lung, neither dry nor moist crackles present, while the right lung's air sounds remain typical. I recommend conducting a chest CT scan right away."
Given the late hour past regular shifts, typically just a single doctor staffs the CT room.
Furthermore, various departments share its use.
Besides, the family's clothing looked quite worn, suggesting they weren't financially secure.
Plus, the CT procedure demands a substantial amount of time.
Pinpointing the reason for the patient's coughing up blood must happen swiftly.
In order to cut down testing expenses for the patient and shorten the delay, Zhou Can thought again and declared, "We'll start with a chest X-ray! Hold off on the CT for the moment."
He requested a blood analysis along with a chest radiograph.
At this point, only the outcomes from the tests remained pending.
Zhou Can stepped into the office, accessed his departmental profile, and started examining intricate cases sent his way by Director Xue Yan, Director Le, and the rest.
Usually, tackling tough diagnoses requires a team of physicians for discussion.
Primarily aimed at minimizing errors in identification and oversights.
"We've gotten yet another critical after-operation issue case moved from elsewhere, with the procedure performed at Xinxiang Hospital. Looks like Xinxiang Hospital has grown remarkably robust following their talent-gathering phase!"
Zhou Can discovered the initial challenging consultation assigned to him involved a surgery follow-up patient shifted over from Xinxiang Hospital.
These kinds of cases get labeled as 'tough cases' often.
Tu Ya aimed to boost her standing through handling intricate situations and hard-to-treat individuals, thus lowering the bar for accepting them compared to normal.
This move aligned with the bold proposal from Zhou Can, backed by Director Xue Yan and colleagues.
Apparently, Xinxiang Hospital lacked the skill for such chest operations in the past, yet presently they manage to execute breastbone excision and thorax wall rebuilding, showing their operation prowess advanced swiftly.
This implies Xinxiang Hospital now holds the operation strengths of a major medical center.
"Dean Tian truly is a down-to-earth leader; she bounced back stronger after major hurdles, standing apart from Third Hospital merely slapping on an international label."
Zhou Can had crossed paths with Xinxiang Hospital's Dean Tian on two occasions.
He retained a strong memory of this lady.
Frankly speaking, back when Dean Tian sought to hire him two years prior, he couldn't have foreseen Xinxiang Hospital reaching its current level.
Back then, Xinxiang Hospital was just scraping by.
Even with dispatching numerous medical pros overseas for training, Zhou Can viewed it as insufficient to alter the big picture.
Few anticipated the lady would rewrite the playbook, fiercely pulling staff from rival major facilities.
And snatching whole teams, in a bold and unyielding fashion.
Remarkably, this straightforward and forceful tactic paid off.
It's no surprise Third Hospital began copying her strategies.
