My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1121 - 442: This Woman Is Terrifying—Big Shot Comes

Zhou Can was dealing with a woman who was quite good at playing the pity card while examining the child.

After the inquiry, the nine-year-old boy had accidentally fallen while riding a bicycle, which caused a severe injury to his left arm, making it unable to lift.

"Kid, where are you feeling pain now?"

During the inquiry, Zhou Can noticed that it was always the boy’s mother answering on his behalf, so out of caution, he decided to ask the boy directly.

In general, children don’t lie.

"I just feel pain here, but it doesn’t seem to hurt as much as long as I don’t move. Also, I feel kind of stuffy, like I’m going to vomit."

The boy answered timidly.

Zhou Can beca alert upon hearing this.

If it were just a left arm injury, even with a severe fracture, vomiting, and chest tightness usually wouldn’t occur.

Of course, it is not impossible for overwhelming pain from a fall to cause gastrointestinal spasms and lead to vomiting. This occurs, but rarely.

"Did you hit your head when you fell?"

"I think I bumped the back of my head on the concrete ground."

The boy was very honest, saying whatever ca to mind.

"You silly child, there’s no need to ntion every little scratch. Which child doesn’t grow up with a few falls?" The boy’s mother glared at him after hearing this, telling him not to say too much.

Zhou Can understood the family’s concerns, which were about doctors ordering a lot of unnecessary tests and overtreatnt.

Many families with financial difficulties tend to only want treatnt for the most apparent injuries to save money.

For instance, if there are multiple injuries with a fracture, they might only agree to have the fracture treated.

"Ma’am, it’s a good thing that your child is honest about his multiple injuries. At our hospital, we have to be responsible for every patient and try to identify and manage any potential safety risks as early as possible."

While speaking up for the boy, Zhou Can stood up and walked behind the boy to examine the back of his head.

His hair was quite long and very thick.

After a careful look, no obvious hematoma was found.

"Let’s first do an X-ray of the left arm to check for fractures. Also, since the child is experiencing vomiting and chest tightness, I’ll order a brain CT scan to rule out intracranial bleeding. A routine blood test is also necessary."

Zhou Can ordered three tests in one go.

He initially considered ordering a chest CT as well, but seeing the woman’s unhappy expression, he decided against it for now.

Dealing with family mbers sotis requires strategy, and it’s important to proceed step by step.

Although Zhou Can wasn’t afraid of complaints from family mbers, it was best to avoid them if possible.

"Dr. Zhou, can’t you skip the head examination? My child only broke his left arm; there’s no need to examine his head. And as for the blood test, what’s the point? I’ve heard that doctors intentionally order a bunch of tests to make more money, regardless of whether the patient is sick or not, and just the examination fees cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan."

The woman acted as if she knew what was going on and wasn’t going to fall for any tricks.

Doctors often find this type of patient very troubleso.

"A CT scan isn’t that expensive, but doing this test can greatly help in identifying any potential intracranial injuries your son might have. Intracranial bleeding is very dangerous..."

Before Zhou Can could finish his explanation, the woman impatiently interrupted him, waving her hand, "Alright, alright, no need to scare . I know all your doctor tricks, making a small problem seem big and exaggerating the severity. I only agree to get his left arm checked, nothing else. Actually, we don’t even need the left arm checked, just set my son’s arm, and that’ll be it."

The woman was already quite dissatisfied with Zhou Can.

Zhou Can was at a loss for words.

He had already realized this woman was difficult to deal with and hadn’t expected it to be this problematic.

"If you don’t agree to these tests, and sothing happens, I can’t take that responsibility. You might want to see another doctor!"

Zhou Can was extrely frustrated.

Usually, checking a patient with this kind of injury takes at most about ten minutes, but this woman was so troubleso. Asking this and that, being uncooperative and full of doubts, he had already spent nearly half an hour.

He just didn’t have the ti to continue wasting with her.

Specialists can limit their appointnts to just fifteen or twenty patients a day.

But Zhou Can was famously known as the "traffic king."

He saw at least a hundred outpatients a day and often approached two hundred.

"What kind of attitude is that? Just because you have so skills, you’re forcing patients and their families to agree to your unnecessary tests? Your greediness isn’t even subtle. Give a refund; I won’t let you earn even the twelve yuan."

The woman was so angry she directly flipped out, slamming the table and yelling.

This woman is terrifying.

It leaves one wondering which man is so ’lucky’ to marry such a strong-willed woman.

"Alright, alright, I’ll give you a refund!"

If you can’t provoke her, you can at least avoid her, right?

With such a difficult person, there’s no way to reason with her. The best is to stay away.

Zhou Can directly processed the refund for her.

Originally, spending nearly half an hour on this patient and earning a twelve yuan consultation fee wasn’t unreasonable. The initial examinations had been done, and the electronic dical record was completed. All these are the doctor’s ti costs, requiring effort too.

Zhou Can’s skill level was no less than that of an average chief physician, and charging only twelve yuan for a consultation fee was already a bargain for the patient.
