My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 651 - 271: A Cold Encounter, a Clean and Decisive Di

But Zhou Can deduced from so subtle clues that the patient might indeed exhibit these symptoms.

"Um... it seems quite possible. I was on maternity leave before and it delayed a lot of work. When I returned to the company, I often stayed late to catch up. My appetite worsened, and sotis I even felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. I thought it was because I was overworking, so I didn’t pay much attention to it."

She was amazed to find that this young doctor was truly incredible.

Every single issue he inquired about had actually occurred to her.

"Would it be okay for to do a simple physical examination on you? I need to press on areas like your upper abdon, but you don’t need to lift up your clothes," Zhou Can said to her.

"Okay!"

She nodded sowhat shyly.

Female patients often feel a bit uncomfortable when examined by a male doctor.

For instance, during an electrocardiogram, they have to take off their undergarnts in front of a male doctor, which can be quite embarrassing.

As for examining private areas, male doctors often recuse themselves, letting experienced female doctors or nurses take over.

This is also why obstetrics prefers to hire female doctors.

There are many inconveniences for male doctors when treating female patients.

The hospital rule is that it suffices to have one female dical staff present during an examination of a female patient. However, even with such asures, there are instances where male doctors have been assaulted by patient’s family mbers during examinations.

As a result, male doctors, having been hit once or twice, have beco quite cautious when seeing female patients and usually ask male family mbers to leave the consultation room.

As long as the male family mbers don’t witness the examination, so unnecessary conflicts and disagreents can be avoided.

Zhou Can approached the female patient and pressed on her abdon through her clothes.

"Tell if it hurts."

He reminded the patient.

In fact, for this kind of palpation examination, direct skin contact is preferred. Even through a thin layer of clothing, the doctor’s sense of touch can be reduced, potentially missing so tumors or masses.

The main purpose of Zhou Can’s examination was tenderness testing.

This is a common type of test that doctors perform.

"Ah... it hurts, it hurts!"

When Zhou Can pressed on the left upper quadrant of her abdon, she suddenly cried out in pain.

"This area is the stomach, which highly coincides with my deduction."

Zhou Can received the answer he was looking for and stopped the tenderness test.

"Director Zhang, Director Shi, I suspect the patient’s ovarian tumor is not the primary lesion but a tumor ford after tastasis. I suggest we conduct a gastroscopy or sothing similar for the patient."

After diagnosing, Zhou Can offered his suggestion.

Yang Chan had been watching Zhou Can diagnose the female patient and was shocked to realize just how wide the gap was between her and Zhou Can.

From the mont Zhou Can approached the patient with his first question, he was very targeted.

On reflection, every question Zhou Can asked centered around the primary lesion.

Such efficient diagnosis is often not sothing even many senior doctors can achieve.

As for novice doctors like Yang Chan, they usually ask all the items listed on the dical record and conduct every required test, irrespective of accuracy. Once the checks and questions are done, then they proceed to diagnose slowly.

This kind of doctrinaire, rigid inspection is not only manifested in her alone but is nearly universal among all the inexperienced doctors.

Many patients nowadays struggle when being admitted to big hospitals— even if their injury is just to an arm or leg, the doctor will still require them to go through all routine examinations such as ECGs and the like.

The excuse given is to mitigate risk or that it is simply hospitals’ policy.

In reality, it is easier to fulfill the hospital’s quota for departntal examinations. Those expensive diagnostic machines and the dical staff in the biochemistry lab cannot be left idle, right?

Each use of the diagnostic equipnt generates revenue for the hospital.

The sa applies to biochemical tests.

It also avoids so dical incidents, eliminating potential safety hazards, killing several birds with one stone— why not do it?

As for the patients incurring expensive fees, isn’t there dical insurance for reimbursent?

Because these examinations take up a lot of the patient’s ti? That’s even less of an issue. Haven’t you seen many businesses attempting to create a bustling atmosphere by artificially increasing crowds, even going to the expense of hiring people to queue up?

The hospital being busy gives the subconscious impression to patients seeking treatnt that a place with so many patients must have a decent dical standard.

Doctors like Zhou Can, who can pinpoint the disease directly, without requiring patients to run around for all sorts of tests, are ironically the kind that modern hospitals tend not to welco.

Because they don’t bring in profits for the hospital!

Of course, it’s a different story for specialists.

Specialists certainly ought to stand out, conducting the fewest tests, taking the least ti, prescribing the least dication, and causing the least pain to show their high level of expertise.

This has also indirectly led to a phenonon where, regardless of whether the illness is serious or minor, as long as one can secure an appointnt with a specialist, there’s no reason to choose a cheap resident doctor’s outpatient service.

By skipping a few unnecessary examinations, the expense of a specialist’s appointnt pays for itself.

"Dr. Zhou suspects that the patient’s primary lesion might be in the stomach?"

Zhang Bihua looked at Zhou Can with a peculiar gaze.

It was an intrigued look, with a touch of excitent and admiration.
