Chapter 375 - Chapter 375 Old professors came to

Chapter 375: Old professors came to Chapter 375: Old professors came to Voices came from the doorway:

“So young, yet speaks quite maturely.”

“How long has the medical student been in clinical practice? Which teacher are you studying under now?”

“A student from the Eight-Year Program, Professor Zhang, she’s actually your junior.”

It turned out that there were professors who had studied in the Guoxie Eight-Year Program a long time ago. Xie Wanying remembered someone had introduced her to the long history of the program.

The door to the ward opened, and Xie Wanying stood up.

Li Qiaowen wanted to get up as well, but was told by the group of doctors who came in, “You’re a patient now, stay sitting or lying down.”

Several esteemed and highly respected senior doctors walked in, all with graying hair, some wearing presbyopic glasses and some not. They must be over seventy, just like Professor Li, old enough to retire and rest at home. However, doctors get increasingly revered with age and are rehired. Now, they either help the department by seeing patients in outpatient clinics as expert consultants or are occasionally invited back to the department to provide guidance during significant events.

The arrival of several professors suddenly elevated the atmosphere of the entire ward to the level of a high-end academic symposium.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Xie Wanying wondered if she should leave. As the door closed, Doctor Jiang gestured with his hand for her to stay.

The presence of the old professors made the patient somewhat nervous.

“Did she not just speak to you? What are you worried about? Instead of worrying now, you’d better be happier. Diseases love unhappy people the least; they dislike the happy ones.” The old professors teased the patient into laughter.

Listening to them, a smile began to form on Li Qiaowen’s face. Thinking that it was the weekend and the department leader, along with the old professors, had personally come to treat her, she felt comforted by such warm colleagues and had nothing to worry about.

“For your illness, the parts that needed explaining, she explained to you, and she did quite a good job, very accurate,” one of the senior professors pointed at Xie Wanying, who was at the back of the crowd.

Unexpectedly noticed by the perceptive seniors, Xie Wanying stood quietly at the back.

“Come, let’s have a look to see what’s growing inside of you?”

The professors were about to perform a clinical examination on the patient. Everyone stepped back.

Three senior doctors gathered around the patient’s bed with Director Zheng standing by. The other younger doctors and medical students present all stood on the periphery.

Standing on tiptoe, Xie Wanying peeked through the gap in the crowd, observing the older doctors’ methods of examining the patient. The senior doctors conducted the examination slowly and gently. Each professor gently pressed on the patient’s lower abdomen one after another, consulting with each other before saying to the patient, “This, as shown on a CT scan, is quite small and cannot be felt clinically.”

All the doctors said so. Li Qiaowen sighed, wondering if she was just unlucky.

“But the onset of a disease in this location needs to be taken seriously because it is rare, and once it occurs, it could be serious, so it must be given attention. You are lucky to have encountered a good doctor who detected it early for you,” said one old professor.

Li Qiaowen nodded vigorously, “I think so too. I’ve been uncomfortable for three years and it was never diagnosed until Dr. Xie felt it.”

“This disease is hard to detect with routine examinations. Of course, you have been uncomfortable for several years, and probably at the beginning, it was just the remnant of your urachus that made you uncomfortable, but it was evolving. Earlier on, when it was even smaller, a CT scan couldn’t detect it. Although a CT can detect early on if there’s an issue with how this area developed during infancy which could become an adult affliction, surgery could have been performed directly. The problem is that at that time, your symptoms might have been even milder, making it harder for doctors to suspect a problem there.”
