Chapter 656: [656] Doctors can also be afraid of getting sick Chapter 656: [656] Doctors can also be afraid of getting sick “Yes, Grandpa, the jaundice must have started just today. Otherwise, my teachers would’ve noticed what was wrong with already,” Zhao Zhaowei told his grandfather, trying to imply that his condition wasn’t serious.
“If it started today, it could be an acute disease!” Zhao Huaming yelled at his grandson, seeing that his grandson still didn’t realize the severity of his condition.
“Old Zhao,” Tao Zhijie interjected.
Upon hearing his voice, Zhao Huaming stopped yelling at his grandson and sighed, “Dr. Tao.”
“This is an illness; we can’t delay,” Tao Zhijie said.
“Right, Dr. Tao, you did the right thing by calling . Jaundice isn’t sothing to joke about. If it’s serious, it could be life-threatening,” Zhao Huaming nodded in agreent.
“If you agree, we can arrange a hospital bed for him now.”
“Agreed!”
“Grandpa!” Zhao Zhaowei suddenly lost his temper, “Can’t we finish the exams first to see what’s the matter before deciding on hospitalization? What’s the rush to be admitted?”
“You’re jaundiced, what else do you want to do?” Zhao Huaming’s hand rushed forward impatiently, trying to smack his grandson on the head.
A few people beside him quickly grabbed his arm, “Old Zhao, Old Zhao, take a breather, cool down, don’t get angry.”
Tao Zhijie said to He Guangyou, “First, arrange his hospitalization; if there aren’t any beds available, set up an extra one.”
“Dr. Tao, please arrange for him to have an ultrasound and blood tests tonight,” Zhao Huaming cald down and discussed with his colleague in the departnt.
“We’ll talk about hospitalization after the exams!” At this point, Zhao Zhaowei had seated himself on a nearby chair and wouldn’t budge, adopting an obstinate stance.
Xie Wanying had an epiphany about why Senior Tao had misunderstood her at the beginning.
Truth be told, she really didn’t know Student Zhao had this kind of temper. She rarely mingled with the boys in her class and was focused on her studies. To her and the other classmates, Student Zhao was a gentle and unassuming chubby fellow who never threw tantrums.
This uncharacteristically different Student Zhao even had Li Qi’an staring in disbelief.
It could only be said that Senior Tao understood the hidden side of Student Zhao better than they, his classmates, did.
After all, Student Zhao was Old Zhao’s eldest grandson, a kid who frequently played in the hospital. The hospital staff were well acquainted with what kind of character the child had. Tao Zhijie had been in the Hepatobiliary Surgery departnt for several years. Even though he hadn’t witnessed Zhao Zhaowei’s behavior as a child with his own eyes, he’d heard plenty about it from the people in the departnt.
A common joke among the staff was about how Old Zhao’s eldest grandson wanted to be a doctor, yet as a child, he was so scared of getting an injection that he would resist vehently, more than any other child.
Not all doctors are unafraid of getting sick, just as not all nurses are unafraid of getting injections. So doctors and nurses who can watch other people’s blood being drawn with no problem might faint at the sight of their own blood being drawn, a condition commonly known as vasovagal syncope.
Zhao Zhaowei didn’t like to talk to his classmates about his grandfather’s departntal affairs, but now a bunch of his classmates understood; it turned out that he was terrified that so of his embarrassing secrets would get out.
“What’s with you?” Li Qi’an’s finger aid to tap Student Zhao’s head, “What are you throwing a tantrum for? Why are you acting so strange all of a sudden? Aren’t you a dical student? What are you scared of?”
“I’m not scared,” Zhao Zhaowei mumbled with puckered lips.
“If you’re not scared, then why won’t you be hospitalized?”
“I’m fine, there’s no need for hospitalization.”
“You look like you’re trying to run away.”
“I’m not running!”
“Okay, you say you’re not running. A man’s word is his bond,” Li Qi’an demanded that he swear an oath on the spot.
