Chapter 484 - Chapter 484 【484】Strange Peritonitis Patient

Chapter 484: [(484)] Strange Peritonitis Patient Chapter 484: [(484)] Strange Peritonitis Patient “This patient was transferred from the internal medicine department six. Every time they transfer a patient over, I get nervous. Their diagnoses always seem to be off, ambiguous. Didn’t your student last time catch their oversight, how they mistook pancreatitis for a stomach disease? This case is similar. Initially diagnosed as enteritis. After treating for a while without improvement, they did another CT scan and realized something was off – there were signs of peritoneal inflammation. They’re thinking of doing an exploratory laparotomy.”

“Didn’t the CT show why there is inflammation of the peritoneum? It’s peritonitis, you know.” Sun Yubo was very surprised.

“They say it’s not diffuse peritonitis for now, but the CT does show there’s a bit of inflammation on the left peritoneum and intestinal adhesions.”

“Can she undergo exploratory laparotomy with her condition?”

“I don’t know. Let’s wait for the hematology department to come for a consultation tomorrow before making a decision.”

“Speaking of which, department six of internal medicine really is–”

“Right, I don’t quite understand why they created a department six. They said it was like our general surgery department one, that the original ward five was too crowded. Ward five has the more experienced doctors. But after our general surgery department two split off, we’re not worse than department one. So why is department six like this?”

The two teachers finished complaining about the patient and moved onto complaining about the departments. It appeared that gossiping wasn’t just a woman’s vice, men were just as prone, perhaps more focused on work-related chatter, thus less noticeable at home.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Yubo turned around and saw Li Qi’an standing behind him, while Xie Wanying was in the ward examining bed 61’s female patient.

“Aren’t you going with her? She’s your teacher,” Sun Yubo asked Li Qi’an.

Li Qi’an replied, “Teacher Sun, she didn’t ask me to go over. She probably wants me to stay here waiting for orders from you. Also, since she’s undressing that female patient for an examination, she might not want me watching.”

Hearing this, Sun Yubo thought the kid was rather naive; must a teacher always give explicit instructions? Moreover, what’s the issue with a female patient? There’s a female doctor present and he’s still worried.

“Xie Wanying.”

Teacher Sun called, and Xie Wanying turned her head.

“Go and check on all the wards in the department,” Sun Yubo tasked her, entrusting her with the responsibility.

This was an opportunity given by her teacher, which was great. Xie Wanying nodded in agreement.

It was her first time on the night shift, and she felt uncertain. Checking on each patient one by one would give her some peace of mind. After examining the critically ill patient, Xie Wanying started checking from the beginning. She didn’t need to check her own group’s patients as she was familiar with their conditions, but the other four groups were a must, otherwise things would remain unclear.

As she checked, she needed to consult the medical records to verify the patients’ conditions.

From taking over at five thirty, it was after nine by the time she finished examining the patients. By this time, the doctors’ office was basically empty, except for the on-duty staff. Medical students who had come back to help the teachers with daytime tasks or who had wanted to study more at the hospital had all left.

In the nearly deserted office, Teacher Sun was nowhere to be seen, only Li Qi’an was sitting in a chair, flipping through a book.

“Yingying, do you need me to do anything?” Li Qi’an asked, looking up from his book as he saw her return.

“Where’s Teacher Sun?” Xie Wanying asked him, “Didn’t Teacher Sun get you to do something?”

Having a student follow Teacher Sun was to make sure there was help if needed.

Li Qi’an informed her, “Teacher Sun didn’t ask me to follow.”

Sun Yubo had quickly deduced from their brief interactions that the student Li Qi’an was unsuitable and had stopped letting him follow.

Hearing this, Xie Wanying realized her classmate’s situation was serious. Clinically, if you can’t earn the trust of a teacher, there’s no good work to be done. It was the case with Luo Yanfen and the others before. Li Qi’an, a newcomer to the clinical field, lagged far behind those three slicks in capability, and his future looked bleak if this trend continued.
