Chapter 385 - 181: Compassion Does Not Command Troops. Don't Question Doctors with Popular Science Content Again_3

No further inflammation occurred, and the wound was normal.

He picked up the patient's ward inspection record and looked at it; temperature, blood pressure, and urine output were all normal.

The situation isn't bad.

It seems that in a few days, this patient will be able to be discharged.

"His temperature has stabilized, and the infection should be under effective control. We can try to reduce the dosage of antibiotics and also taper off the immune-regulating medication."

Zhou Can said to Doctor Duan.

Whether it's antibiotics or other medications, they should not be used long-term.

When a patient is in critical condition, the priority is to save their life, and the medication dosages are usually the maximum allowed.

Once the condition is under control, the dosage of some medications should be gradually reduced to help patients quickly adapt after discharge.

This can also prevent the array of negative effects brought on by the overuse of antibiotics.

Of course, some smaller hospitals, in pursuit of therapeutic effects, for good reviews from patients at their discharge, and for personal achievements, often refuse to reduce medication dosages.

This can lead to the patient's condition appearing fine upon discharge but experiencing recurrences or a series of physiological dysfunctions after returning home.

Many patients often curse doctors for keeping 'tricks up their sleeve,' causing a significant prolongation of the recovery period.

They need to repeatedly return to the hospital for medication.

Or be readmitted multiple times.

These are likely consequences of too aggressive medication use.

It's like weaning a baby; suddenly cutting off breastfeeding would undoubtedly be unbearable, and the baby would cry incessantly. If you can start adding complementary foods a few months in advance and gradually reduce breastfeeding. By the time of weaning, the baby would adapt well.

"Today, when writing medical orders, I will reduce the patient's medication dosage!" Doctor Duan embraced Zhou Can's suggestions entirely.

"Uh... He's just a resident doctor, equivalent to an intern level, can his advice be taken? My husband's condition has just slightly improved, and reducing his medication, could that be dangerous? Don't worry, our financial situation is okay, we can afford the medication cost."

A pretty woman quickly said.

Her concern was not unreasonable.

Especially someone like her, who likes to educate herself.

If the information she finds is correct, that's fine, but if it's misinformation or personal misunderstanding, it can easily lead to incorrect perceptions.

"Although Dr. Zhou is only a resident, his level is very high. Your husband's second surgery and postoperative medication, he has put in a lot of effort. It can be said that your husband's rapid improvement owes much to his significant contribution. Additionally, I can tell you clearly that from a professional standpoint, Dr. Zhou's suggestion to reduce medication is responsible for the patient... "

After Doctor Duan's detailed explanation, the pretty woman was both shocked and ashamed.

She didn't realize that her husband's rapid improvement was thanks to this resident doctor.

Moreover, she had repeatedly spoken harshly to Zhou Can and constantly questioned his expertise. In return, Zhou Can, not only did not take offense but repaid unkindness with kindness, always considering the patient's needs.

At this moment, she truly felt ashamed and extremely embarrassed.

"So that's how it is! It's all my fault for not understanding and for jumping to conclusions, which led to my misunderstanding of Dr. Zhou. I'm sorry."

She apologized to Zhou Can, full of remorse.

When looking at Zhou Can now, her eyes no longer held the chilly opposition or hostility but were filled with gratitude and regret.

"It's okay!"

Zhou Can magnanimously waved his hand.

"Next time you have questions, remember not to rely on Baidu [Chinese search engine], but directly consult with our professional medical staff. The content you find on Baidu might be correct, but it's not necessarily applicable. Even for a common cold, there might be over a hundred treatment options. Which medications, duration, dosage, and supportive treatment plans, etc., can only be accurately provided after a doctor's diagnosis."

He hadn't initially planned to say this.

Since the woman's apology seemed sincere, and having a parent's heart as a doctor, to prevent her from potentially harming her family or herself again, it was better to offer a kind reminder.

"Heh, I saw on the news so many exposes of hospital scandals, I was worried about getting scammed and encountering inexperienced doctors with low levels, that's why I kept searching online. I won't do it again."

She smiled awkwardly indicating her stance.

Going through this incident made her realize that what's popularized on the internet is of very little use. Instead, it can easily misguide her and even lead to resistance against doctors.

Constantly questioning the doctor's treatment plan is indeed very inappropriate.

"After being discharged, remember not to immediately feed him all sorts of tonics; it must be done gradually. I've seen you taking careful care of your husband by his bedside these days, which is quite touching and admirable."

Zhou Can complimented her before leaving, sparing her the awkwardness of a social faux pas.

Today, our team has two major surgeries, both led by Director Xue.

Treating this patient named Yang Tie, both Director Xue and Director Hu Kan are surely watching in the shadows.

Now that he has proven his ability, it should be much easier for him to get more surgery opportunities.
