The Enhanced Doctor-Chapter 807: Compromising with Reality

(Thanks for Purple Flame's monthly ticket encouragement)

The patient is very cooperative, and her boyfriend is even more so, but understanding the patient's condition clearly has become a crucial problem.

No choice but to wait.

Before going to sleep that night, Liu Banxia went over to take a look, and there wasn't any issue at that time.

Early the next morning, Liu Banxia didn't even have breakfast but went straight over.

"Wow, I'm so envious. This is the most considerate boyfriend I've ever seen."

"Yeah, last night he fed her, served canned food, and even washed her feet."

"Just now he got up early to fetch water and buy breakfast. My guy at home? Even if the oil bottle falls, I have to tell him to pick it up."

"I say, they should all be brought over to learn from him, see how to be a boyfriend."

"So sour, so sour, I'm too envious."

...

Liu Banxia just passed by the nurse station and heard the nurses inside chatting enthusiastically.

"What's up? You got a sore throat from envy?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

"Dr. Liu, we aren't slacking off, please don't tell Sister Li," one of the nurses said.

"Ah, this is chat time anyway, why would I tell her?" Liu Banxia replied.

"They got Xu Yino and the others envious downstairs yesterday, looks like you guys couldn't escape either. So, any situation last night?"

The nurse shook her head, "No situation, slept well. With such a good boyfriend taking care, anyone could sleep soundly all night, even the pistachios were shelled."

"Out to buy breakfast now?" Liu Banxia inquired.

"Yeah, the patient wants to eat tofu pudding for breakfast," the nurse said.

"Her boyfriend's family should be quite capable, he also bought a lot of fruits yesterday," another nurse commented.

"Aw... if financial strength didn't allow, how could he spoil her like this?" The one beside started to sound sour again.

Liu Banxia knew about this, the young man also bought a lot of fruits to bribe the other patients in the same ward. It's not just the nurse station upstairs, but also downstairs.

After staying here for a while, the patient's boyfriend came up with breakfast.

Clearly not bought from the small restaurant near the hospital entrance, the packaging was very delicate, probably got it by driving somewhere else.

"Doctor, why are you here so early? Have you eaten?" The patient's boyfriend greeted Liu Banxia warmly.

"Didn't eat, but I won't compete with you lovebirds for food. There weren't any other symptoms last night, right?" Liu Banxia asked.

"No, slept well, still sleeping when I went out," the patient's boyfriend said.

"That's good, I just came to ask about this. Continue observing. If there are no other symptoms by the afternoon, we'll need to think of other ways," Liu Banxia said.

"Doctor, thank you so much. How about having some fried cake?" The patient's boyfriend offered.

"Haha, I still prefer our cafeteria's millet porridge and tea eggs, you guys enjoy," Liu Banxia laughed.

It's considered as having completed the inquiry, it's still something without a solution and needs to continue waiting. This isn't something he can expedite by putting in more effort.

Whether it's dynamic ECG or dynamic EEG, many times they only show during the onset of symptoms.

After heading downstairs, he went straight to the cafeteria. Fragrant millet porridge and tea eggs are indeed his preferred breakfast.

He wasn't affected by this couple spreading sweetness, his appetite was still good. After eating his fill, he went to the emergency center.

"I heard you guys took on a big case yesterday? No news yet, should be all tidied up, right?" Wei Yuan asked with a smile.

"Almost, Zhang Zhiyuan said if there's any change, he'd call me directly," Liu Banxia replied.

"The phone didn't ring all night, so there's nothing. But they dealt with a car accident emergency yesterday night, Qi took the stage. Today you're the main force, we have some staff shortage at present."

"What shortage, so many people. The program airs tonight, should we organize group learning?" Wei Yuan teased.

"Spare me, I asked the director who led at that time, the program's mainly introducing the functions of different departments in the hospital," Liu Banxia said.

"So, don't expect me to extort anything here. Take more care of Wang Chao these two days, the young lad is under too much pressure and isn't sleeping well at night."

"Haha, it's normal, if everyone were like you, exhausted but unaffected, that'd be problematic. We shouldn't expect tranquility at the emergency center, let's stir things up," Wei Yuan stated.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu, can we transfer from ICU to the regular ward?" Liu Yiqing ran over.

"Go on, go on, if Zhang Zhiyuan says there's no problem, then transfer. And make sure to check in often, the care in these few days is also very important," Liu Banxia said.

"Thank you, Teacher Liu," Liu Yiqing said and hurried off.

"What's going on?" Wei Yuan asked curiously.

"A patient she's emotionally invested in. Poor girl, it's worrying me quite a bit," Liu Banxia said.

"Haha, there's not much that can be done, you're the one who trained them," Wei Yuan said.

Even though Liu Banxia let Liu Yiqing go to pick up the person, he also made a call to Zhang Zhiyuan. It was about that girl's transfer to another ward, it's also to inquire about that patient with necrotizing fasciitis.

It's not bad, the hard work with Chen Xuehai yesterday seems successful for now, the patient's vital signs are very stable. The symptomatic treatment is also going very well, this is really good news.

However, the patient with liver failure is in a somewhat unstable condition at the moment. Currently, although not completely reliant on treatments and machines to maintain life, it's almost there. Whether he can pull through really depends on himself.

This result leaves Liu Banxia feeling a bit down; he's actually very sorry for that young man. If he had come just a few hours earlier, he might have already been out of danger now.

That's how it is with emergency patients, the rescue window is very short.

"Teacher Liu, today Miao Rui and I have a surgery with the director," Huang Bo and Miao Rui came over at this time.

"Alright, you should go, but don't be intimidated by the director and don't be troubled by them either. Is it Li Hao and Xu Yino in the afternoon?" Liu Banxia asked.

Huang Bo smiled and nodded.

"Go ahead," Liu Banxia waved his hand.

This is the advantage of the emergency center; they can queue up to learn from Zhou Shuwen. Although Zhou Shuwen is busy, he does schedule regular surgery days.

This is everyone's chance, Liu Banxia occasionally joins in for fun too. But now, with the surgeries he can handle, he doesn't need to take spots; letting the six juniors and others fill in is sufficient.

Actually, Zhou Shuwen is the real star of the emergency center; even though Liu Banxia stirs up quite a commotion, compared to Zhou Shuwen, he's still a notch below.

Sitting in his spot, Liu Banxia continued to ponder about that patient with no identified cause.

The main issue is that dizziness is indeed quite peculiar, and has many causes. For now, the only thing that can be ruled out is BPPV.

After all, although BPPV causes dizziness, it rarely leads to someone being completely unconscious.

For this patient, while the symptoms don't seem severe, they are actually quite dangerous. These sudden faintness incidents, the level of danger entirely depends on your circumstances.

Even if you suddenly faint at home, and hit your head on the table corner? That could cause big problems.

He's already decided that if the diagnosis still isn't clear, next he'll do cervical CT and lumbar puncture. Even though he trusts his own skills very much, further investigation on the cervix is necessary.

"Oh, Officer Xu, why are you here today?" While pondering, he saw Officer Xu coming over, and Liu Banxia quickly asked.

"The party involved has been transferred to a general ward, right? We received information from the other side that they're willing to reconcile. We need to come over to confirm, and it's also necessary to get the party's opinion," Officer Xu said.

"Sigh... I guessed that reconciliation was inevitable, but I still feel dissatisfied," Liu Banxia said with a sigh.

Officer Xu smiled without saying much, realizing that he was in a difficult position himself.

Having viewed the girl's injuries, he also felt a sense of injustice for her. But the other party is willing to compensate, leaving the girl with some money after settling the medical fees, perhaps making her future life better.

This might actually be a very good option.

Liu Banxia contacted Liu Yiqing to confirm the room number and let Officer Xu wander up to find them himself. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"What are you thinking about?" Wang Chao came over.

"Didn't sleep a bit longer?" Liu Banxia asked.

Wang Chao shook his head, "Morning is the only time to feel a bit more spirited and clear-headed. I woke up twice last night, but nothing happened. What are you pondering over now?"

"What could I be pondering? It's just the weaker ones compromising with reality," Liu Banxia commented sarcastically, then detailed the patient's situation.

"I actually think this is quite alright, not that it's encouraging crime. But for their family, they may really not be able to endure," Wang Chao said.

"There's plenty of examples like this now. But don't worry, that guy won't stay quiet for long, sooner or later, he'll commit something else."

"Thank goodness he's not causing trouble for that patient," Liu Banxia said.

"How can people like this exist in the world? It's just a lousy rascal, isn't it? As long as he doesn't fall into my hands, let's see who'll cut whom down,"

"Calm down, haven't we seen plenty of patient fights here at the hospital? Some of them weren't all bullied, compensation solved everything in the end," Wang Chao said with a smile.

"Each family has its own difficulties, can't just say it's money-grubbing. Such accounts are always unclear, though it's very different from our job of treating and saving people."

Liu Banxia nodded, understanding this point, or else he would definitely get involved and stir things up.
