"Regarding your issue, ahem—" Doctor Lee Yuen was just about to speak, but unexpectedly, a couple of coughs made him choke, and uncontrollably, he kept coughing and couldn’t speak.
The patient, seeing the doctor like this, didn’t think the doctor was sick, but feared the doctor was deliberately coughing to avoid explaining the condition to her clearly. She pursued the doctor, asking, "Doctor, what is my condition? Was the previous doctor wrong?"
The teacher couldn’t speak, and the patient was very nervous. The two students sitting opposite tightened their nerves.
Teacher Zheng had said that at critical monts, they must help Teacher Li speak up. Xie Wanying saw that Student Geng hadn’t spoken. Perhaps Student Geng, being a male dical student, found it inappropriate to face the heavily drama-prone area of female patients, so it could only be her to speak up.
"Listen to us first." Xie Wanying intervened to comfort the patient for the teacher. As she spoke, she observed the teacher’s expression, ready to stop speaking imdiately if the teacher’s gaze showed disagreent.
Doctor Lee Yuen didn’t stop her, nodding while coughing, indicating for the student to continue speaking on his behalf.
With many students under his wing, the Boss was very experienced in controlling situations, not fearing to let students speak.
Receiving the teacher’s approval, Xie Wanying continued with a dical explanation for the patient: "Teacher Li just ntioned that you don’t have facial hair; it’s unlikely to be Polycystic Ovary Syndro. Before looking at your dical history, the previous doctor’s suspected diagnosis wasn’t that either. It might have been the previous doctor’s unclear explanation that caused you to misunderstand after hearing it."
The voice speaking was very professional, and equally donned in a white coat, the female patient turned to Xie Wanying without a hint of suspicion that she was rely a student and asked her as if asking a doctor: "What did I misunderstand?"
"Infertility and sterility are two different concepts." Xie Wanying corrected the patient’s dical understanding, "Infertility refers to won, sterility refers to n. The ability to conceive is not just a woman’s issue; it’s also a man’s issue. Besides you needing a comprehensive examination, your husband equally needs an examination to check whether he’s the reason you cannot conceive."
"My husband didn’t co today." The female patient furrowed her brow deeply and said displeased, "The previous doctor never ntioned such things to ."
Did the previous hospital doctors really not disclose these dical basics at all? Xie Wanying and Doctor Lee couldn’t go back to the previous hospital where the female patient received treatnt to inspect their doctor-patient dialogue records, but they knew it’s unlikely that colleagues wouldn’t inform patients of these things, as such content is part of a doctor’s routine obligation to inform patients about their condition.
It’s possible the doctors ntioned it but the patient didn’t retain it. So patients are like this, almost as if they have amnesia, asking the sa questions in front of every doctor and denying they heard it before. The cause is nervousness: so people beco so highly tense when they hear about their illness that their mind goes blank, unable to fully rember what the doctor said. This results in doctors knowing they surely ntioned it, but patients firmly claiming they didn’t hear it.
As a doctor, explaining on behalf of colleagues is beneficial for oneself, so Doctor Lee Yuen followed the student’s words to tell the patient: "The previous doctor didn’t misstate your condition. They wanted you to treat the currently identified illness for the sake of your health. Yours is not Polycystic Ovary Syndro; it’s an ovarian cyst. These are two different conditions. The forr is a tabolic endocrine disease. The latter involves a mass in the ovary that needs to be assessed for malignancy or benignancy."
