"I’m from the Guoxie Eight-Year Program."
So that’s it, the Eight-Year Program, which takes fewer years than regular dical students, no wonder she looks young. Doctor Chiang scratched his head and gave her a smile, indicating he understood: "Are you choosing internal dicine?"
Girls typically go into internal dicine. Internal dicine isn’t as tough as surgery.
"No, surgery."
This girl is unexpectedly his junior in the surgical departnt. For a mont, Doctor Chiang could only think about how to find sothing to say.
Basically, in top-tier, especially urban level-III hospitals, except for departnts closely related to female patients like obstetrics, gynecology, and breast surgery, other departnts typically don’t want female doctors. It feels like even if this junior sister passed the exam for the Guoxie Eight-Year Program, let alone staying at Guoxie or the Capital, it’s estimated she wouldn’t even manage to get into a level-III surgical departnt back in the provincial capital.
The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed Doctor Chiang felt. His mouth pulled into a stiff smile, not daring to even say a word of encouragent to his junior sister. He simply addressed the matter professionally, speaking about the patient’s condition: "If you study dicine, you should be able to understand what I’m saying. His current condition is not suitable for long-distance travel."
"Because there are emboli in his body, the thrombus is indeed small but located in more than one place, making interventional surgery quite difficult. The heart also has issues, possibly due to coronary artery damage that previous surgery didn’t catch. Pulmonary artery thrombosis often cos with atrial thrombosis, which is also quite serious," said Xie Wanying.
This was what she observed by the patient’s bedside after she arrived. Big Cousin’s condition was far more complex than she initially imagined. No wonder Senior Brother Shim had told her to think carefully after examining the patient.
"The patient hasn’t had long-term infusions because the attending physician can’t find a solution at the mont. If the dication is administered incorrectly, it could disrupt the current balance in the patient’s body, possibly causing sudden death," Xie Wanying continued, "The choice of interventional surgery is because the patient underwent surgery not long ago, making systemic thrombolytic anticoagulant therapy almost impossible. The risk of further surgical exploration is also too high."
dication treatnt and surgery are similar in that they require vigilance against various erging complications and sequelae. Prescribing for a patient with a complicated condition is like walking on thin ice, just like performing surgery. If it’s easy to prescribe the wrong dicine, it’s better not to prescribe at all. That’s why in clinical practice, you can see so patients’ infusions being suddenly stopped by the doctor for several days, even when the patient’s condition doesn’t improve.
If Doctor Chiang seed dumbfounded as he listened to her speak along the way, it was because he was wondering how she could deduce so much without looking at the patient’s dical records and almost hit all the critical points.
Just looking at her senior’s expression opposite her, Xie Wanying could infer that the patient’s situation was more or less like what she estimated.
For the sake of Big Cousin’s life, Xie Wanying decided to try asking Doctor Chiang whether they could contact the Zhongshan dical College Affiliated Hospital. Just as she was about to speak up, soone ca.
Shang Siling, who had returned carrying breakfast and seen a figure from afar in the corridor, shouted out, "Yingying, who are you talking to?"
Turning around to answer her cousin-in-law, Xie Wanying then looked again, noticing a young guy following behind her cousin-in-law.
The young man was wearing Adidas white sneakers and a sports jacket, a tuft of very trendy blow-dried bangs over his forehead, a sowhat large nose. These features resembled her cousin Ding Yuhai closely. The second cousin’s family was a big fan of Adidas.
Leading the person to her, Shang Siling asked her, "Do you know him?"
Yes, she did. This was her legendary little cousin, who had also studied dicine and now graduated to beco a doctor, Ding Wenze, the beloved son of Zhou Ruoi and Ding Yuhai.
