My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1216 - 480: Pseudopregnancy and Operating on Incurab
"Did you all know? This morning, we attended to a pregnant woman injured in a car accident in the Ergency Departnt, and it turns out she wasn’t pregnant at all. The nursing group says they’ve never seen anything like this before. It was Dr. Zhou who diagnosed it first!"
Ma Xiaolan often flatters Zhou Can intentionally or unintentionally.
To put it crudely, she might be considered a manipulative woman.
Of course, her intentions were still quite upright. While she seed brash toward other doctors and patients, with a sharp tongue, she wasn’t bad-hearted. At least, Zhou Can secretly observed during work that she sotis showed a caring side in specific situations.
"Which nursing group? Am I in it?"
Qiao Yu was also hearing this strange news for the first ti and was instantly filled with curiosity.
"It’s the Nursing Group 1 of our Ergency Departnt. You must be in it."
Ma Xiaolan responded while scrolling through the group ssages.
After Qiao Yu opened WeChat, she also saw the nurses discussing this matter.
"It really is true! Looking at that woman’s belly, I wouldn’t have believed it was a pseudo-pregnancy. The world is full of wonders. Dr. Zhou, share with everyone how you diagnosed it!"
Qiao Yu’s bright eyes turned to Zhou Can.
"Actually, it wasn’t much. The injured woman underwent an ultrasound, which showed a shadow over ten centiters in diater, suspected to be a gestational sac. But no fetus was visible. The doctors from Obstetrics who ca over, along with our Ergency Departnt doctors, all asured and said there was a fetal heartbeat. Later, I found that the fetal heartbeat matched the mother’s heart rate, so I suspected it was a case of false pregnancy."
Zhou Can shared the diagnostic process with them with a smile.
It was also a way to give them so diagnostic experience.
"Did they do an operation in the end?"
Yang Zhi, usually a man of few words and sowhat dull, asked.
Unlike many married n who are unfaithful, he never made advances toward young female colleagues in the departnt, be they doctors or nurses.
Don’t assu he’s an unromantic man, though.
There were instances when Zhou Can organized team dinners, and Yang Zhi regaled Ma Xiaolan and Qiao Yu with bawdy jokes at the table, one after another.
"No operation. The woman didn’t believe in our hospital’s diagnosis and directly requested a transfer to another hospital for treatnt."
Ma Xiaolan replied.
The injured woman had both syphilis and HIV, hopefully the staff at the other hospital won’t overlook this.
Tuya Hospital had no authority to prevent a patient from transferring if they requested it.
Patients have the right to choose where they receive treatnt.
...
After finishing his dinner at the cafeteria in the evening, Zhou Can hurried to the Cardiothoracic Surgery.
He wondered if he was just too tired and experiencing illusions.
He constantly felt like soone was watching him from the shadows.
Recently, he hadn’t offended anyone, although offending family mbers or patients during work was unavoidable.
So family mbers asked bizarre questions or made unreasonable requests that couldn’t be t.
So patients, post-surgery, were evidently cured or showed significant improvent, yet believed the doctor had not healed them and caused other issues.
No matter how you explain it, so just won’t listen.
These patients often share one trait: they’re set in their ways and have tunnel vision.
Occasionally, when faced with such stubborn patients, Zhou Can would get frustrated and respond, "If you think our hospital has hard you, you can apply for a dical appraisal. If it’s our responsibility, we won’t dodge it."
Faced with such patients, there’s no choice but to stand firm.
If you remain silent, patients are more likely to assu you’re weak or guilty, and they beco even bolder, creating chaos in the ward. The endless complaints give the dical Departnt headaches.
Their intentions sotis, after surgical treatnt, result in new symptoms.
Or they deliberately cause trouble to avoid dical costs.
Hence, reasoning with them often proves futile.
There’s a saying: You can never wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
During his residency rotations, Zhou Can had encountered particularly troubleso patients, who cald down once the hospital agreed to reduce so treatnt fees.
On his way to Cardiothoracic Surgery, he constantly felt a prickling sensation on his back, but he didn’t look back.
If soone was indeed following him, looking back might alert them.
Perhaps checking the surveillance footage in the Security Departnt could be a good option if there’s ti tomorrow.
Upon arriving at Cardiothoracic Surgery, the first thing Zhou Can did was to check on the patient with the blood pneumothorax condition.
The situation was quite good, with noticeable improvents in all aspects.
The bubbling from the sealed bottle had significantly decreased.
The bleeding seed to have gradually stopped.
There was still a bit of bleeding, though.
The breathing sounds from the patient’s left lung had strengthened, which was positive.
As long as the recovery continued on the current trajectory, the patient should be able to recover and be discharged soon without needing an open-chest surgery.
After leaving the ward, he returned to the doctor’s office and logged into his personal account on the intranet.
Director Xue, Vice Director Hee, and others had recomnded several complex cases to him again. There were seven in total, which wasn’t too bad. He had received up to eleven complex case referrals before.
This included new patients admitted to Cardiothoracic Surgery, those with postoperative complications, and patients whose surgical options were hard to decide on.
Mainly, these three categories.
