Chapter 374: To soothe a patient, the best way is to explain. Chapter 374: To soothe a patient, the best way is to explain. Xie Wanying first closed her mouth, knowing that she was not particularly eloquent and not good at flattering leaders, so it was best for her to speak less and listen more to what the leaders had to say.

“Don’t just stand there, oh, right, you said you were busy with work – in that case, Doctor Jiang, you take her to the ward to see the patients first. We’ll join you later,” Director Zheng instructed.

“Yes.” Receiving the leader’s order, Doctor Jiang led Xie Wanying to the ward.

Staff from their own department who were hospitalized, of course, were given the best beds, and the patient was arranged in the department’s only private room.

They reached the door of the ward, pushed it open, and went inside.

The nurse, Li Qiaowen, who was hospitalized, sat at the head of the bed, rubbing her eyes, taking a breather, then tidying up the items on the bedside table.

“You guys talk,” Doctor Jiang said, leaving the women to chat and closing the door behind him.

“Sister, how are you feeling?” Xie Wanying approached with concern.

Upon seeing her, Li Qiaowen became flustered and reached for a chair: “Please, take a seat, Dr. Xie.”

“I’ll get it myself.” Xie Wanying directly moved a chair and sat down.

Li Qiaowen sniffed, her face downcast, clearly still troubled emotionally.

“Sister, you don’t need to worry too much. Director Shen said that the professor from General Surgery Department One has a lot of experience and will cure your illness,” Xie Wanying comforted.

These words opened the floodgates for Li Qiaowen: “I asked them, but they couldn’t give me an answer.”

“You’re worried it’s malignant, aren’t you?”

“Yes–”

Xie Wanying carefully chose her tone to reassure the patient, “At our meeting the other day, Professor Li was there, and his impression was the same as mine; it doesn’t seem likely to be malignant. Malignancy doesn’t hurt in the early stages, and yours is painful. Although there’s something that looks like a calcification spot, it could just be a blockage inside, because it’s located in the middle section of the urachus, a place more prone to cysts. Ultimately we have to remove it to know for sure. The doctors here probably have a similar opinion to ours. But before it’s removed and biopsied, they can’t tell you with 100 percent certainty.”

After hearing her words, Li Qiaowen seemed somewhat uplifted: “You think it’s benign, right? Then I’ll trust your judgment. Because it was you who found it.”

“There’s no need to cry now,” Xie Wanying said to her with a smile.

Seeing her smile, Li Qiaowen felt noticeably more at ease and had another question for her: “They’re not sure whether to do laparoscopic surgery or an open surgery, what do you think, Dr. Xie?”

“If I remember correctly, as it stands, our hospital and even nationwide seldom do laparoscopic bladder surgery,” Xie Wanying, who had inquired about this situation from Luo Yanfen, knew that Luo Yanfen had been trying every way to transfer to General Surgery Department Two to secretly learn the basic laparoscopic techniques from Teacher Tan.

Li Qiaowen recalled what the head nurse had said the night before: “Our urology department was split off from General Surgery Department One seven or eight years ago.”

“Director Shen mentioned from the start that the professor from General Surgery Department One has the most extensive and solid foundations; there’s no condition he can’t handle, and it’s best to get treated here,” Xie Wanying nodded in agreement.

“Can’t this condition be treated with a bladder scope?”

Perhaps the illness had rattled her, causing her to forget some medical knowledge. Xie Wanying continued to explain patiently: “The bladder scope is an endoscope, used to look inside the bladder. Your condition primarily affects the area between the bladder and the navel. To be safe, even with open surgery, the incision won’t be large unless the pathology results are poor. Since you’ve chosen to trust the doctors, there’s no need to think about bad outcomes too much.”

Realizing she was right, Li Qiaowen grasped her hand: “Xie Xie, Dr. Xie. After talking to you, I feel much better.”
