Chapter 788 - Chapter 788 【788】The medical record has been taken by someone

Chapter 788: [(788)] The medical record has been taken by someone Chapter 788: [(788)] The medical record has been taken by someone Song Xueling, unlike the others, had just returned to the department and put on his white coat.

In the past few days, he had been so busy that he felt a bit dizzy. He didn’t quite catch what the other person said and just responded with a “hmm” as he walked to the doctor’s office.

During the night shift, the duty doctor went on rounds, leaving the office empty. The medical record cart in the corner of the office stood alone, and sheets of paper scattered all over the floor tiles flitted in the breeze, creating a startling scene.

Upon seeing this, Song Xueling stood dumbfounded at the door.

The scattered sheets were likely from a patient’s medical records.

Xie Wanying, who had hurried to the office after changing her clothes to ask about the situation, saw him standing there and asked, “What happened, Doctor Song?”

Song Xueling took a breath, adjusting his breathing. He had just woken up, and his hazel eyes widened as he tried to identify whose medical records were on those papers.

Following his gaze to the messy medical records, Xie Wanying also felt her heart jolt with shock, “Who took them?”

The importance of medical records to both doctors and patients goes without saying. In some departments, the medical record cart is even locked. However, generally, doctors are too rushed to lock it when they need to use it.

Regaining their composure, the two doctors immediately rushed over to pick up the medical records. In a matter of seconds, they had collected all the sheets and checked them, just as they had feared: they were from Bed 21.

The same concern that Senior Tao had was now reality; the patient was in trouble.

Xie Wanying’s face turned pale.

As Song Xueling held the medical records, his fingers trembled, a situation he had never experienced before, and it frightened him.

Setting aside the records, the two young doctors decisively ran toward the wards, burst into the ward, and pulled back the curtain, only to find that Bed 21 was empty.

Yangyang’s Mom, who was in the next bed, informed the doctors, “She sneaked out.”

“Do you know when she snuck out?” asked Xie Wanying as she turned to Yangyang’s Mom upon hearing this.

“She’s sneaked out several times already, changed her clothes and left when you were busy,” said Yangyang’s Mom. “She told us not to tell. She always comes back quickly, so we don’t know where she goes.”

“She comes back quickly?”

“Yes, very quickly,” Yangyang’s Mom found it strange that the young patient managed to go somewhere and return within ten, twenty minutes, or half an hour; it didn’t seem like she was sneaking out of the hospital to go home.

Because of this, the medical staff couldn’t prevent patients like her, who seemed to have carefully planned their escapes. After all, a hospital is not a prison. It was already quite good if a nurse could patrol the wards every few tens of minutes. At a time like this, during the night shift change, the medical staff were too busy to keep an eye on the patients every minute.

The situation was terribly wrong. Where could the patient have gone? Did she go to the hospital entrance to meet a friend, like in the general surgery ward? If that was the case, what about the medical records scattered in the doctor’s office?

It was definitely the patient who had taken her own records; she must have been suspicious of her illness for a while.

“I think she might know what her disease is,” Yangyang’s Mom confirmed the doctor’s thought. “With so many people coming and going in the ward, she could occasionally hear them discuss her illness. I thought she would ask you doctors.”

Li Yaxi didn’t ask the doctors because she figured the doctors wouldn’t tell her, which meant she might already be aware of her mother’s attitude.

“Her family hasn’t visited her for several days,” Yangyang’s Mom said. “They say her mother is planning to have another child. If that’s true, her mother is being too much.”

The idiom “fellow sufferers pity each other” encapsulated genuine human compassion. Yangyang’s Mom felt more pity for Li Yaxi than her own family did. As a mother herself, she believed that what Mother Yaxi had done was utterly wrong.
