My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 52 - 46: The Meritorious Official

"The key person wasn't Du Leng! It was Dr. Zhou Can from our Emergency Department," Ye Tingting spoke bluntly like a fiery chili pepper, revealing the true story.

Director Xie wished he could bow to her.

At least he didn't have to personally step forward to explain this matter.

Dean Zhu's smile halted, and with a look of astonishment, he asked, "What on earth happened?" His gaze directly met Director Xie's.

Deception and fakery are not traits any leader would appreciate in their subordinates.

Director Xie was overwhelmed.

Even though he occupied the high position of chief of the surgical department, he still broke out in a cold sweat.

At this point, it wasn't just a matter of saving face, but a question of personal credibility.

However embarrassing, he had to bite the bullet and come forward to make things clear.

"Dean Zhu, I must explain this to you. At that time, we had directors and experts from the surgical, internal medicine, and obstetrics departments rush to the resuscitation room for a joint consultation. With advanced diagnostic techniques he learned overseas, Du Leng immediately diagnosed the pregnant woman as having a brainstem-pressing intracranial arterial aneurysm. This diagnosis was roughly the same as the preliminary judgment of Director Yin Hua. To be precise, Du Leng's diagnosis was a bit more accurate."

After hearing Director Xie's explanation, Dean Zhu softened his gaze.

It wasn't so cold anymore.

"Why did the nurse say that it was Dr. Zhou Can from the Emergency Department who played the key role?"

He asked.

"At that time, we were discussing surgery to remove the aneurysm in the patient's brain. However, because the aneurysm was located in the brainstem region, the surgery carried extremely high risks. Even Director Wu Baihe clearly stated that there wasn't even a fifty percent chance of success."

Upon hearing this, the pregnant woman and her parents deeply felt the danger of the situation.

"At this juncture, Dr. Zhou Can inferred that there might be an issue with the patient's vision, from her unfinished eyebrow makeup. After further deduction and a bold assumption, he proposed that she likely, by mistake, took the wrong medication instead of her antihypertensive drug before leaving the house. That was what caused the sudden rise in blood pressure."

Director Xie recounted the diagnostic process, his emotions quite complex.

He found himself enthusiastically praising a doctor from a competing department.

It wasn't that he wanted to praise Zhou Can, but he had to.

With so many witnesses, Zhou Can's credit couldn't be erased.

"Ah, I knew it; when I took that medicine, I felt that it tasted a bit off. I thought it was because my taste was distorted due to pregnancy. I was too careless. I probably took anti-inflammatory painkillers that were placed together with the antihypertensive drugs."

The pregnant woman blamed herself after listening.

"You child, why didn't you tell us that you had vision problems?"

The elderly lady scolded her daughter.

But her eyes were full of sorrow.

"At that time, I thought it was just a bit of blurriness from just having woken up and that it would clear up after a while. I didn't take it seriously, and I almost lost my life. Luckily, the baby in my belly is fine."

The pregnant woman stroked her belly, her face filled with relief.

"Speaking of which, that Dr. Zhou Can is really amazing. At that time, I was unconscious and couldn't describe what had happened, and I didn't even know I had taken the wrong medication. If it wasn't for him piecing together the clues and deducing the cause and effect, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Mom, Dad, you must thank Dr. Zhou for me."

The pregnant woman, having narrowly escaped death and hearing about the diagnostic process, realized how difficult it had been for the doctor to identify the cause of her illness.

Such a good doctor deserved thanks.

"Yes, yes, when you are discharged from the hospital, we will thank Dr. Zhou together. You just rest well in bed and recover, okay?" The elderly couple gazed at their daughter, their eyes full of tenderness.

"Weren't you just saying my daughter has an intracranial aneurysm that needs surgical removal? Now that my daughter has awakened, please think of a way to avoid surgery. Don't even mention a fifty percent chance of success; even with a ninety percent chance, I still think the risk is too great."

The pregnant woman's father was more concerned about this matter.

It was good news that his daughter had awakened, but the prospect of surgery for the aneurysm was worrying.

He didn't want his child to take any risks.

Especially after experiencing the regain after the resuscitation, he cherished the bond between father and daughter even more.

"Cough… After further joint consultation and analysis by Dr. Zhou and us, it was found that it was just a temporary aneurysm, caused by high intracranial pressure. After a series of antihypertensive treatments, we just examined your daughter. Very fortunately, the temporary aneurysm has disappeared."

Director Tan still had some conscience. Although for the sake of saving face for the major departments in the hospital, he was forced to say it was a joint diagnosis, but he still highlighted Zhou Can's name.

At least he did not erase his credit.

It would be impossible to tell the family and the patient that so many of our experts and chiefs failed to diagnose the condition, and even nearly misdiagnosed it, and that it was a resident physician who figured it out, right?

If said outright, Dean Zhu's face would probably be longer than a horse's.

For any hospital, reputation is equivalent to their signboard.

It is more important than anything else.

Sometimes when doctors cause negative news and make mistakes, the hospital will try everything to cover up.

What is this for?

It's to protect the hospital's reputation.

Once tarnished, a top hospital's business can shrink drastically in a very short span of time, and its competitiveness can decrease significantly.

When that step is reached, what is smashed is not the rice bowl of one person.

But the rice bowls of everyone on the entire ship.

"Is that so! Will my daughter still be in danger?"

The family and the pregnant woman all breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that surgery was initially suggested but then she was healed without it did not concern them much.

For patients, as long as the illness can be cured, that's all that matters.

The process is not important.

"As long as she keeps her blood pressure under control, generally speaking, there shouldn't be too much danger."

Director Tan also breathed a sigh of relief; the obstacle of the misdiagnosis incident had finally been overcome.

Over the many years in medicine, he had been proven wrong countless times. But turns of events as embarrassing as today had only happened when he was younger. Since he became well-known, misdiagnoses had nearly ceased to occur.

In situations where he really couldn't find the cause of a patient's illness, he would rather tell the patient and their family that he couldn't find the problem at the moment.

To have the patient check at other hospitals or to observe for a while longer.

"Is Dr. Zhou Can still here?"

After learning that her daughter was out of danger, the pregnant woman's father finally felt his hanging heart settle down.

Next, it was time to properly thank the life-saving doctor.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

"This is our Emergency Department's Dr. Zhou Can."

Director Lou introduced with immense pride, his voice loud.

In an instant, the low-profile Zhou Can standing at the back became the center of everyone's attention; he became the most dazzling star in the resuscitation room.

Dean, pregnant woman, family members were all sizing him up.

"What a young man!"

The pregnant woman's father couldn't help but exclaim.

He had thought that a doctor with such impressive diagnostic skills must be a white-bearded one.

Seeing how young Zhou Can was, he was genuinely surprised.

"Not only is Dr. Zhou young, but he is also very earnest in his work and has a particularly kind heart!"

The pregnant woman's mother came over at this point.

She looked at Zhou Can with a grateful smile on her face.

"Do you know him?"

The elderly man asked, taken aback.

"Mm-hmm!"

The elderly woman nodded repeatedly.

"Just now, when my daughter was being resuscitated inside, I was waiting outside. Their initial resuscitation efforts were not going smoothly, and it was Dr. Zhou who took the initiative to come out and ask me for information about my daughter's medical history and such. At that time, I wasn't very polite to him. But he didn't mind it and, after asking, he even comforted me, took care to have me sit down on a chair to rest. Dr. Zhou truly embodies benevolent care!"

People are made of flesh and blood.

After learning that Zhou Can was her daughter's life-saving benefactor, the elderly woman felt even more guilty.

She looked at Zhou Can with eyes so soft they could melt a person.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you for saving my daughter!"

The elderly woman bowed deeply to him with a very solemn expression.

Zhou Can, flustered, quickly reached out to support her.

"Auntie, this shouldn't be. I am a doctor, saving your daughter is my duty. To be honest, after hearing about your son-in-law's heroic deeds, I made up my mind to do everything in my power to save your daughter and the child in her womb. Fortunately, those destined not to die will have good fortune, and with the joint efforts of all the medical staff, we finally managed to save your daughter."

Zhou Can didn't take all the credit for himself but shared the merits with all the medical staff present.

This also left a very good impression of him in the hearts of many doctors.

Even Director Xie's gaze softened a lot when looking at Zhou Can.

Wealth should be shared, not monopolized; this is an immortal maxim.

Those who only think of hoarding all the benefits to themselves are destined to not get far.
