Capítulo 1097: Chapter 432: Thunderous asures Prepared, Postoperative Right Arm Swelling Patient_2

Director Lou seed to have disclosed sothing to Head Nurse Niu Lan.

“Okay!”

Head Nurse Niu Lan was quite a cultured person. As she left, she nodded to Zhou Can.

She spoke and acted with considerable elegance and intelligence, rarely seen losing her temper.

As for the rumor that nine out of ten female head nurses are special friends of certain officials, Zhou Can had no way to verify that.

The overall atmosphere at Tuya Hospital was still relatively good, and shouldn’t be that chaotic.

“The past couple of days have really been strange, with continuous incidents in our Ergency Departnt. Yesterday morning, that female patient brought in by the 120 ergency died. You were there too, and the family refused to agree to intubation for resuscitation. What could our hospital do? Now that the person has died, the family is counter-accusing us, saying our hospital was not proactive in rescuing the patient, leading to her daughter’s death. Isn’t that infuriating?”

Director Lou was speaking to Zhou Can as a core mber of the departnt, which was why he ntioned these matters.

“I’ve also noticed that unreasonable families and patients are more frequent nowadays. The overall dical environnt is really poor, and so dical troublemakers find that causing trouble can earn them money. This only fuels this unhealthy trend further.”

Zhou Can could truly empathize with Director Lou’s frustrations.

Nowadays, negotiating with patients and their families was indeed challenging.

Luckily, those who seek to extort money, casually file complaints, or create disturbances are still a minority.

Otherwise, doctors and nurses would likely have to go on strike collectively.

“I heard from Dr. Xu at noon that your surgical state has been affected. That’s not okay, you must learn to adjust yourself. Just think about it, aren’t those who spread rumors trying to crush you and make you feel disgusted? If you take these slanders too seriously, wouldn’t that be falling right into the enemy’s trap?”

Director Lou was really anxious upon hearing that Zhou Can’s work performance had been affected.

This was currently the critical period for the developnt of the Ergency Departnt, only two months into its rapid expansion. If the progress suddenly halted and we reverted, our applications for a class-100 laminar flow operating room, an endoscopy room, and staff expansion would all be impacted.

The hospital managent isn’t easy to deal with.

If the departnt has no performance or revenue, how could we dare to ask them for anything? They’ll just outright scold, “What do you want a hamr for?”

“Director Lou, I’m sorry to have troubled you. I have already adjusted my mood and will no longer be affected by this matter. I’m preparing to return to the operating room now!”

Zhou Can’s expression was calm, and his tone was very composed.

Director Lou studied him seriously and found that he really seed to have adjusted, and imdiately nodded with satisfaction, “It’s good that you’ve adjusted. Go quickly and work!

But I must say beforehand that surgery is a high-risk job, and if you’re not in a good state, you must not force yourself to perform surgery. I would rather give you a couple of days off to go ho, rest, and co back after you are ready.”

Compared to departnt performance, safety was more important.

Any surgical accident could be devastating for Zhou Can.

If the Ergency Departnt lost Zhou Can, it would be like an eagle with a broken wing, directly plumting back to its original state.

Both Zhou Can personally and the Ergency Departnt were currently in the budding stage, making this period extrely crucial.

In the future, once the Ergency Departnt developed strongly, it might withstand the loss of Zhou Can.

…

Several days passed, and Zhou Can’s life gradually returned to normal.

Rumors about him had already spread throughout the hospital.

However, an unmarried single doctor dating is not a cri. Even if he dated multiple girls simultaneously, as long as they were willing, it was fine.

There was bound to be so impact.

For example, he could feel his colleagues quietly discussing him behind his back, and they would stop talking imdiately when he approached.

The atmosphere was quite awkward.

The strange looks from colleagues made him uncomfortable.

Additionally, the patient with the leg burn and resulting infection had their treatnt concluded, and was discharged today. Originally, the hospital planned to publicize this case extensively, using it to raise Zhou Can’s profile.

But due to the impact of the scandal, plans were put on hold.

The hospital’s upper echelons were very rational; they refused to do things that posed risks or were controversial.

From a long-term perspective, this affair could hinder Zhou Can’s career. Important promotions could be considered with an eye on his flirtatious nature. If promoted, and tabloid news erged, it would be over.

Therefore, for promotions or important positions, superiors would be particularly careful.

Zhou Can himself was not at all anxious about this matter. The court had already accepted the case, and barring any surprises, it would be held soon.

According to legal procedures, cases judged as simple would see responses from the other party within five days of filing, providing a 15-day litigation period before the court date, concluding within three months.

This case was straightforward, with clear evidence.

In addition, Zhou Can had a professional legal team, accelerating case acceptance and court hearings posed no difficulty.

In the morning, Zhou Can began his normal routine with ward rounds.

A middle-aged male patient in bed 17 reported swelling and pain in his right arm.

Zhou Can inquired thoroughly, learning this patient had a right arm tumor removed the previous day. This was not a major surgery, and the tumor had been pathologically examined, deed benign.

However, due to rapid tumor growth, panic made the patient insist on the removal procedure.

Under normal circumstances, this surgery would be considered minor at Tuya.

With bed constraints, even hospitalization might not be necessary.

Post-surgery, the patient could go ho after receiving dication.

For the sake of revenue and safety, the Ergency Departnt preferred the patient to be hospitalized for a day of observation before discharge.

As the patient reported swelling pain in the right arm, the family refused discharge.

The hospital could not force them.

Originally, discharge could have been processed this morning.

After hearing the patient’s complaint, Zhou Can pressed the patient’s right arm and found it extrely rigid, especially near the surgical incision, as hard as stone.

Testing pressure on the patient’s arm revealed unusual stiffness. Normally, unless the patient was an athlete or bodybuilder, muscles here would generally be relaxed.

Only during exertion would they tense.

But now, pressing down felt uniformly rigid.

Zhou Can imdiately realized the patient had issues.

He hadn’t perford this surgery—whose fault was it?

A glance revealed it—goodness, Dr. Lu again.

This troublemaker frequently botched patient surgeries. Previously, there was an abdominal infection; tily intervention saved that patient’s life.

Dr. Xu reportedly scolded Dr. Lu severely.

Unexpectedly, less than ten days later, issues arose again.

“Doctor, is my arm faulty, was the surgery botched?”

The patient, an experienced middle-aged man, perceived his arm’s issue through Zhou Can’s facial expression change.

“The surgery probably wasn’t problematic; however, post-operative complications might have occurred. I’ll report this to the superior doctor and arrange further examinations to find the cause of the swelling and pain. Don’t worry, I’ll report this right away.”

Zhou Can recalled his university textbook advice.

Never criticize other doctors’ operations, or point out procedural errors by dical staff, in front of patients.

Because you never know the context your colleague faced during the procedure.

Moreover, it only increases the doctor-patient divide.

So, even though Zhou Can deeply resented Dr. Lu, he didn’t badmouth him before the patient.

This is the professionalism a doctor should maintain.

Colleagues might distance themselves from those not observing this rule.

Outside, he spotted Dr. Xu arriving for work.

“Teacher, teacher, I’ve got sothing to report to you.”

“What is it?”

“During ward rounds, the patient in bed 17 reported post-surgical right arm swelling and pain…”

Zhou Can relayed the entire situation.

“Who perford this surgery?”

Dr. Xu asked with furrowed brows.

“Dr. Lu.”

Zhou Can answered truthfully.

“Him again!” A threatening tone was detectable in Dr. Xu’s voice.
