My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 1204 - 475: Unlocking the Patient’s Heart with One Sentence, Admitting Tough Cases (Part 3)
Zhou Can spoke to the patient’s mother.
Sometimes, children only share the good news and not the bad with their parents. Parents can easily misinterpret the situation based on appearances, thinking there’s something wrong with their child.
In reality, children might be working harder than they think.
"It’s my fault, I’ll certainly change from now on." The patient’s mother felt even more guilty after hearing this. "Oh son, it’s all mom’s fault, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. Get well soon, and when you come home, I’ll make you some delicious food."
She held her son’s hand, rubbing the thick calluses on it.
Thanks to Zhou Can’s reminder, she realized her son had suffered a lot outside. It wasn’t like she thought, that he was sleeping during the day, and wandering around aimlessly at night.
"Mom..."
The patient murmured, his eyes reddened, calling out to his mother for the first time since falling ill.
This also meant his resentment towards his mother was gone, and the knot in their relationship was untied.
"Oh! My good son, it was me who wronged you, get well soon! I won’t nag you anymore." The patient’s mother was overjoyed, tightly holding her son’s hand.
The sister nearby quietly wiped her tears.
Zhou Can was already accustomed to witnessing touching family interactions, so his expression remained largely unchanged.
"The patient’s chest is symmetrical, no subcutaneous emphysema detected, slight bulge in the left chest, significantly weakened respiratory movements in the left lung. Percussion of the left chest yields a drum-like sound, auscultation reveals absent breath sounds in the left lung, no dry or wet rales heard, right lung breath sounds are normal. I suggest immediately doing a chest CT scan."
Considering that it’s already after work hours, usually, there would only be one doctor on duty in the CT scan room.
Moreover, it’s shared by multiple departments.
Additionally, the family’s attire seemed rather shabby, indicating they might not be well-off financially.
Not to mention the CT scan would take quite a long time.
It’s crucial to quickly determine the cause of the patient’s hemoptysis.
To save on examination costs for the patient and reduce waiting time, Zhou Can reconsidered and said, "Let’s first do a chest X-ray! No need for a CT scan yet."
He ordered a blood test and an X-ray for the chest.
Now all that was left was to wait for the test results.
Zhou Can entered the office, logged into his personal department account, and began reviewing some complicated cases referred to him by Director Xue Yan, Director Le, and others.
Typically, the diagnosis of complex cases involves multiple doctors for consultation.
Mainly to reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
"We’ve just received another severe post-surgery complication patient transferred from another hospital, and the surgery was done at Xinxiang Hospital. It seems Xinxiang Hospital has become quite strong after a period of recruiting talents!"
Zhou Can found that the first complicated case he was asked to consult on was a postoperative patient transferred from Xinxiang Hospital.
Such patients are usually referred to as ’difficult patients.’
Tu Ya was working on increasing her reputation by treating complex cases and difficult patients, so the threshold for admitting such patients was much lower than usual.
This was also in response to Zhou Can’s high-profile suggestion by Director Xue Yan and others.
It seemed Xinxiang Hospital couldn’t perform such thoracic surgeries before, but now they could complete sternum removal and chest wall reconstruction, indicating their surgical capabilities improved rapidly.
This suggests that Xinxiang Hospital already possesses the surgical capabilities of a large hospital.
"Dean Tian is indeed a pragmatic person, she underwent a rebirth after significant setbacks, clearly different from Third Hospital just putting up a foreign nameplate."
Zhou Can had interacted with Dean Tian of Xinxiang Hospital twice.
He had a rather deep impression of this woman.
To be honest, when Dean Tian tried to recruit him two years ago, he never imagined Xinxiang Hospital would develop to where it is today.
At that time, Xinxiang Hospital was barely surviving.
Despite sending several hospital experts to study abroad, Zhou Can didn’t see it changing the overall situation.
No one expected that the woman would play by different rules, aggressively recruiting from other big hospitals.
And recruiting entire departments, quite ruthlessly.
This simple and crude approach surprisingly worked.
No wonder even Third Hospital started to imitate her methods.
