Chapter 337 - Chapter 337 Consult a doctor for a colleague

Chapter 337: Consult a doctor for a colleague Chapter 337: Consult a doctor for a colleague President Wu stepped out of the elevator, surrounded by a throng of admirers, and walked further and further away.

Cao Yong, who had timely closed the elevator doors, slipped his hand into his pocket and touched his phone, his eyes betraying a hint of concern: “Old Naughty Boy’s case is too bizarre.”

His phone buzzed once, he picked it up to look and it was his junior sister calling.

“Yingying.”

“Brother, is it Teacher Wu who will be assessing you? Do I need to say anything to him?” Xie Wanying was worried after the fact that her words might have caused the hospital to deduct points from her senior brothers.

That’s the thing with Old Naughty Boy, deceitful even with such a good junior sister. Cao Yong sighed, saying softly, “No worries. The hospital follows regulations in these matters.”

Hearing her brother’s words, Xie Wanying felt relieved, set down her phone and went to the nursing station to ask, “Sister, were you looking for me?”

“Yes, yes, yes, Dr. Xie, come here.”

She was pulled into a little treatment room in the department by a nurse sister, where four or five nurses were standing.

“Her name is Qiaowen.” The nurse sisters introduced her to the colleague, “She’s been having stomach aches for years, the kind that are vague and elusive.”

“Have you had it checked?” Xie Wanying asked, knowing that being in the hospital made it convenient to get tests done.

“We’ve done checks, colonoscopy, gastroscopy, gynecological ultrasound, all of them. They all say there’s nothing wrong.”

So if there’s nothing wrong, why come to her?

“You take a look at her.” The nurse sisters surrounded her, urging her with a clamor of voices.

An intern looking after a nurse? Nurses could be seen by any doctor in the hospital. Senior doctors, professors, famous physicians, it was fine to visit any of them without an appointment – straight to the department to see a doctor. Xie Wanying didn’t understand why they came to her.

“It’s fine to get Teacher Tan or Teacher Sun to see her. Their clinical experience is much richer than mine,” Xie Wanying said.

“We’ve previously had her checked by surgeons in our hospital with palpation, but they couldn’t find anything. We heard from patients today, saying you are quite accurate with diagnoses, so we wanted to let you have a try. Anyway, she’s never been cured, and the doctors always say there’s nothing to stress about. It’s quite torturous for her.”

On hearing this, Xie Wanying was even more astonished, realizing that the nurse sisters were treating this like a last-ditch effort, grasping at her, the intern, to give it a try. Because all those experienced doctors before had also failed to find any issue.

Even the nurse sisters had this mindset, Xie Wanying felt like laughing and said, “Okay, I’ll have a look, but honestly, I fall far short of the teachers when it comes to clinical experience.”

“The main issue is that if she goes to see doctors in her own department again, our hospital’s doctors will tell her there’s nothing wrong and not to fixate on it. She doesn’t know what else to do.” The nurse sister voiced their dilemma.

Patient symptoms are present, but no cause can be found, which is very distressing. It’s been like this for years, without any other serious conditions. Naturally, doctors are more inclined to believe the patient isn’t seriously ill, perhaps it’s a psychological issue. If the patient did have a serious physical illness, it would have made itself evident by now.

The patient is in discomfort, but the doctors have their reasoning. Such clinical contradictions occur frequently. Xie Wanying walked to the examination bed, ready to do all she could. Whether there was an issue or not, the patient deserved an explanation for her pain. Just like the young man in outpatient clinic 2, even if it wasn’t serious, a reasonable explanation for the illness had to be provided, or else how could the patient be reassured?

The nurse lying on the examination bed was about thirty-odd years old, with a face that looked quite young. It was said that she had children, so her abdomen had stretch marks and was quite lax.

Xie Wanying carefully palpated the patient’s abdomen, touching gently and deeply, point by point.

A few nurses watched, as the patient lying on the examination bed naturally grew more nervous.
