Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 325 - Chapter 325 【325】A famous doctor is indeed a famous doctor

Chapter 325: [(325)] A famous doctor is indeed a famous doctor Chapter 325: [(325)] A famous doctor is indeed a famous doctor “You’ve been eating, haven’t you? Did you eat hot pot in the last couple of days?” Xie Wanying quickly and sharply caught the patient’s evasive face.

“Yes.” The patient, with a defiant twist of his lips, said, “What does my illness have to do with eating hot pot?”

“Did you eat breakfast?”

“I had milk and buns before going to work in the morning.” The young man stressed that he took good care of his health.

“Did you drink beer with the hot pot?”

“Isn’t it common to have beer with hot pot? That’s how everyone eats it.” The young man said this with growing irritation.

What was this? He rarely smoked or drank, a good man indeed, and now he was being criticized and educated by a doctor just because he occasionally enjoyed some hot pot and a few beers with friends?

The young man’s anger at the moment was like that of a top student suddenly caught by teachers and parents exhibiting less than admirable lifestyle habits, his protest almost meant to intimidate the doctor.

Xie Wanying watched calmly: it wasn’t surprising; she often encountered patients like this.

A physical examination was next, Xie Wanying waited for Teacher Tan’s instructions.

“Come sit over here,” Tan Kelin directed the patient.

Teacher Tan was a straightforward man. Anticipating what the teacher was about to do, Xie Wanying swiftly made room.

The young man’s chair moved closer to the doctor, and his upper garments were abruptly lifted by the male doctor in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, not to mention surprised when suddenly a hand pressed down rapidly just below the ribs on his abdomen, so fast that he couldn’t comprehend what was happening, leaving him to cry out wherever it hurt: “Yes, yes, this is where it hurts.”

Teacher Tan’s palpation caught the patient off guard. After all, if a patient is mentally prepared, their response to the palpation may not be accurate. Xie Wanying observed and silently learned from the teacher at this moment.

Without waiting for the patient to react, the doctor’s hand pressed a couple more times on the patient’s lower abdomen, but the patient did not cry out in pain. Finally, with lightning speed, the doctor pressed on the patient’s left flank, causing the patient to cry out in pain again.

“Alright, sit down.”

A renowned doctor indeed; the examination was completed in seconds, and the patient had not even recovered his wits. The young man cocked his head, probably still confused and unclear about what had happened, and only after a while did he say, “The previous doctor said it was my stomach.”

Where was this pressing related to the stomach? Both doctors understood without saying a word. Explaining it now would likely cause the patient to worry unnecessarily before a confirmed diagnosis. Best to start with the examination and make the diagnosis from there.

“We’ll draw some blood and do an ultrasound,” Tan Kelin issued the instructions.

Having completed the patient’s medical records, Xie Wanying swiftly wrote up the medical orders and the examination form for the teacher to review and sign.

“Is my condition serious?” the young man asked, worried.

“Let’s do the examination in the outpatient clinic first and discuss the results after,” Tan Kelin said.

“What’s wrong with me?” the young man pressed.

Tan Kelin didn’t answer this time. Xie Wanying, standing by, knew the teacher didn’t want to get entangled with the patient any further. The more they dwelt on it, the more entwined the patient would become. It was her turn, as the teacher’s assistant, to intervene, redirecting the patient’s focus from one fixed point and relieving the teacher’s pressure.

After capping her pen, Xie Wanying said to the patient, “We can only confirm your diagnosis after you complete the examinations.”

“That’s what you doctors always say.” The young man complained, not too pleased. He was fed up with being told to get tests done every day. Couldn’t they give him a rough idea just so he could be mentally prepared?

Seeing through the patient’s mindset, Xie Wanying tapped her pen on the desktop, as if assigning the patient some preparatory homework: “Whether or not you get tested, there are some things you need to pay attention to with your condition. No more hot pot, no beer, avoid heavy greasy foods, start with some light porridge, focus on eating vegetables. You can have your blood taken today without fasting. However, for the ultrasound, you need to schedule it for tomorrow morning and fast beforehand.”
