Chapter 378 - Chapter 378 378 Classmate got into trouble

Chapter 378: [378] Classmate got into trouble Chapter 378: [378] Classmate got into trouble “Let’s go, let’s first check on the patient.” After slipping the pen back into its cap, Tan Kelin turned around.

Xie Wanying followed her teacher with quick, small steps.

The two arrived at the temporary treatment room where Xiao Yazhi was staying. Father Yazhi was doing his daughter’s hair in pigtails, but he immediately made way when he saw the doctors arrive.

Xiao Yazhi lay obediently on the bed, waiting for the doctor to examine her.

Feeling the young patient’s abdomen, Tan Kelin paid particular attention to the blood oxygen levels mentioned by his student, noting that indeed, neither her fingernails nor her lips were blue or pale.

“Has she always been this thin? And her mother, is she thin too?” Tan Kelin turned and asked the patient’s family member in detail.

“Yes, she has always been thin, so we didn’t notice her belly wasn’t swollen,” Father Yazhi said. “Her mother is skinny.”

“And her mother?”

“Her mother is so sad, she cries every day. I asked her to stay at home and not come over. She said she would come to accompany the child once the surgery is confirmed,” Father Yazhi explained.

“We’ll get the tests back in a couple of days and proceed with the surgery as soon as possible,” Tan Kelin said.

Hearing what her teacher said, it seemed he might have had a change of heart. Xie Wanying felt relieved.

“I heard a doctor say that it might be necessary to first go to the department of gastroenterology for an endoscopy biopsy?” inquired Father Yazhi.

“Who said that?” Tan Kelin asked, looking at his student.

“I didn’t tell him that,” Xie Wanying replied with certainty, as she herself didn’t agree with this approach. If it was decided to proceed with surgery before chemotherapy, having an endoscopy biopsy wasn’t important.

“A male doctor said it, seemed like his last name was Li,” Father Yazhi said.

Professor Li? No, he hadn’t come in today. Who could it be?

“Young?”

“Very young, and wearing glasses.”

Xie Wanying had a bad feeling: could it be her classmate Li Qi’an?

Exiting the ward, Tan Kelin instructed his student, “Did you tell anything to your classmate?”

“No, teacher. You only made the decision last night, and I haven’t seen my classmates this morning,” Xie Wanying replied, guessing her teacher suspected it was her classmate who had spoken out of turn.

“Go and ask him if it was him who said that,” Tan Kelin commanded directly.

It wasn’t acceptable to interfere with another doctor’s patient. Her classmate, lacking her experience, was probably in for a scolding. Xie Wanying hurried off to find out what had happened.

Searching the department, she indeed found Li Qi’an. It must be said that Li Qi’an was much more proactive than Zhao Zhaowei, coming in for practice even on a Saturday when he didn’t have to.

Xie Wanying, worried about dampening her classmate’s enthusiasm for learning, pondered how to broach the subject.

“Looking for me?” Li Qi’an walked up to her upon turning around and seeing her.

Taking her classmate to a corner, Xie Wanying asked, “Did you say something to Yazhi’s dad?”

“The family member of that child? Yes, you weren’t there, he asked me what would happen next. Wasn’t it discussed in the department yesterday afternoon? We might first need to go to gastroenterology for a biopsy,” he said.

“You should have asked me first,” Xie Wanying gently told her classmate.

“Wasn’t that what all the doctors in the department were saying yesterday? Isn’t it still the case?” Li Qi’an asked in surprise.

“Discussion is discussion, but the final decision lies with the attending physician. You shouldn’t have spoken to the patient without checking with the attending physician,” she advised.

“Dr. Tan? Dr. Tan didn’t say it wasn’t so yesterday afternoon,” he said.

“Doctors’ thoughts can change. He originally didn’t say that we were going to admit the patient yesterday,” she clarified.

“Isn’t it necessary to proceed as discussed if it isn’t denied? Why would he blame me for talking nonsense when he changes his own decision?” Li Qi’an said, growing increasingly upset.
