Chapter 485: [485] Can she predict the illness in advance? Chapter 485: [485] Can she predict the illness in advance? As they spoke, Sun Yubo returned and asked the student, “How’s the checkup going? Have you found any problems?”
“Teacher Sun, about bed numbers 17, 23, 36, 38, 49, 52, as well as 61 and 62, I think you might need to take another look,” Xie Wanying answered.
“Didn’t we already check on bed 61 this morning? What’s wrong, is her blood pressure unstable again?” Sun Yubo questioned.
“No, I’m worried the patient might develop a fever tonight, though she doesn’t have one right now.”
“She’s anemic, and blood diseases often co with fevers.”
“Teacher Sun. When I examined her, she seed to feel pain in her lower abdon, it appears like there might be an inflammation in her pelvic cavity.”
“Do you want to suggest a consultation with the gynecology departnt? Wait until the doctor in charge cos back tomorrow and let them know.”
“Teacher Sun, what I an is, her condition doesn’t necessitate a consultation with the hematology departnt. There’s no need, and no need for gynecology either.”
“Hold on.” Sun Yubo asked her to pause and said, “Student Xiao Xie, you need to understand sothing. Our night shift duty isn’t about treating patients for them. It’s about handling any ergencies that may occur with the patients. If a patient’s condition really does get worse, we need to inform them to co back for resuscitation. These are their patients, not ours. Do you understand?”
Xie Wanying nodded, indicating that she understood.
“Of all the patients you’ve just ntioned to , tell , is there anyone in an ergency situation that needs to be dealt with?” Sun Yubo asked her again.
In reality, if there were any patients that needed urgent care, the nurses would have already co to call the doctor.
“Teacher Sun, we can do so preventative work to avoid being woken up by the nurses in the middle of the night,” Xie Wanying suggested, asking for her teacher’s opinion.
That was exactly what he had been considering. Sun Yubo said, “Go on.”
“For example, with bed 61, I’m concerned her body temperature might rise during the night, so we could arrange in advance with the nurses not to call us if the temperature is below a certain degree, and prepare a prescription for cold compresses to be applied as necessary.”
Could this student predict what temperature the patient might fever up to in the middle of the night, not exceeding a certain degree? Sun Yubo blinked, thinking, really?
“Teacher, it’s just cold compresses.”
“Fine, write a prescription for cold compresses to be used if necessary,” Sun Yubo decided, thinking this prescription wouldn’t make much difference, so why not let the student give it a try.
Xie Wanying continued discussing other patients with the teacher: “Patient in bed 17 is a bit restless.”
“Why is he restless?”
“Today is his fifth day post-surgery, and the abdominal drainage tube is not very smooth, sowhat blocked. There’s a chance that he might develop a fever tonight too.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Yubo wanted to curse: “Group 2, don’t they know the situation with the patient’s drainage tube during the day?”
No, no, he had to make a call and give them a piece of his mind.
Seeing this, Xie Wanying added, “Teacher Sun, bed 36 also has a problem with the drainage tube.”
Sun Yubo felt like his lungs were going to explode, and asked, “What about the other beds?”
All together, he should give them all a scolding.
“The woman in bed 23 wants a sleeping pill because she says she can’t sleep,” Xie Wanying replied.
“Is she scheduled for surgery tomorrow? If she’s supposed to have surgery tomorrow, the doctor in charge should have prescribed her sleeping pills,” Sun Yubo contended, pondering the patient’s situation.
“She’s not scheduled for surgery tomorrow; she was just admitted today and hasn’t completed the pre-operative examinations,” Xie Wanying said.
“Then what’s the matter? Does she feel unfamiliar and restless in the hospital, unable to sleep?” Sun Yubo sighed, knowing it was tough to find a psychiatrist at night to console the patient.
