Chapter 1079: 882 Chapter Lost Pathology Report_2

When Director Fang encountered a patient of Director Qian, he felt a bit panicked, and he needed to review whether it was really thyroid cancer or not.

This jerk sometimes took benign tumors from the general surgery department to perform surgery on, many of which didn’t meet the surgical indications at all. Patients who didn’t need surgery were still treated as if they had malignant tumors, and in the end, he claimed they were cured. Patients, being unaware, were immensely grateful.

Many benign thyroid tumors only required regular follow-up appointments with a thyroid surface ultrasound, but in the hands of Director Qian, they always required a big to-do.

This guy also had quite a lot of patients, most of whom were acquired through shady means.

There was once a patient with a small liver cyst, and he performed a Da Vinci Robot surgery on them, costing them tens of thousands, and that was a patient he was well acquainted with.

Therefore, whether it comes to medical skills or morality, Director Qian really stinks to high heaven.

But he is a chief physician and professor, also supervising masters and doctors, and attending academic conferences everywhere.

"How come there’s no pathology report? You need to find the pathology report; without it, we can’t develop a surgery plan," Director Fang said.

Director Fang flipped through the documents again and indeed, no pathology report was there. He took the opportunity to try to get rid of the patient, because he really didn’t want to deal with patients from Director Qian.

Yang Ping said, "No matter what, the recurrent laryngeal nerve definitely needs to be repaired. Why don’t you admit the patient into general surgery, let them try to retrieve the pathology report if possible?"

The patient and family were immediately tearfully grateful upon hearing this, as they had been to many places in the provincial city. Doctors who initially intended to admit them always ended up giving up after reviewing the medical history, saying that the surgery was difficult and suggesting they return to the original surgery hospital or a higher-level hospital.

Now that they had a hospital willing to admit them, they were truly appreciative.

"This way, you go to Affiliated Hospital No. 4 and get the pathology report. We must see the pathology report before we can develop a surgical plan, and then proceed with hospitalization and surgery," Director Fang insisted.

Pathology report?

Nong Zhiwen flipped through the thick pile of medical records himself. He didn’t even know there was such a thing as a pathology report. He just did what the doctors said, followed along with whatever diagnoses and treatments they suggested, as he didn’t understand any of it and relied entirely on the doctors.

"What does this thing look like? Where do I get it?" Nong Zhiwen asked.

Director Fang gestured as he explained: "It’s a piece of paper with colorful photos on it, with a detailed diagnosis underneath. You can get a photocopy at the records department of Affiliated Hospital No. 4 with your ID card. If you really don’t know how to proceed, you can contact the surgeon who performed the operation or the physician in charge; it should definitely be in the medical records."

"Why didn’t you go back to Director Qian for a follow-up? It would have been so nice for him to do the recurrent laryngeal nerve repair since he is familiar with your case," Director Fang couldn’t help asking curiously.

Since the patient had difficulty speaking, he stayed silent throughout, but his son said, "Professor Qian is very busy, always either abroad or at conferences, and their beds are always in high demand. We’ve waited for half a year, and we really can’t afford to wait any longer, so we had to look for other options."

"I see!"

Director Fang guessed what might be going on, and realized that the situation was not so simple. It would be best not to get involved in such murky waters, lest he get himself into trouble.

"Okay, then. You go and get the pathology report, and we’ll talk after you have it," Director Fang didn’t want to prolong the matter.

Yang Ping said to Director Fang, "Once he gets the pathology report and the situation is clear, you admit him for hospitalization, okay? This surgery is probably going to be quite challenging."

Director Fang grunted in acknowledgment.

After the patient left, Director Fang immediately warned Yang Ping, "This is Director Qian’s patient. No doctor in the circle dares to take on patients he has operated on, especially the tumor surgeries he’s done. They’re a total mess, and a second surgery is practically impossible."

"It’s fine. We’re not concerned with what his condition was before. As long as he trusts us and is willing to accept our treatment, we’ll give it our all. As for Director Qian, we’ll leave those matters aside," Yang Ping wasn’t interested in concerning himself with Director Qian.

But Director Fang was worried that this patient might bring trouble to Yang Ping later, so he tried to dissuade him. Director Fang meant well, thinking that Yang Ping, who focused on his academic work, didn’t understand the intricacies of the medical world and might get into trouble.

However, Yang Ping wasn’t worried about these issues. If the patient didn’t have surgery, he would always have a hoarse voice and would choke when drinking water. Now that he was even experiencing breathing difficulties, it wasn’t just a matter of quality of life – it could potentially affect his life itself. If he had the capability, why shouldn’t he help the patient? As for who they had seen before, it didn’t matter to him; he didn’t want to concern himself with such things.

It was just that there were many suspicions surrounding this patient. From the various objective examinations in the medical records, it seemed unlikely to be thyroid cancer, yet the medical record explicitly said it was. The key piece missing was the pathology report, so it would be more reliable to wait for that report before taking a further look.

Nong Zhiwen had no choice but to return to Affiliated Hospital No. 4 because Director Qian wasn’t doing outpatient visits, so he couldn’t find Director Qian in the outpatient department and had to look for him in the ward instead. The doctors in the ward said Director Qian would be back late from surgery.

Thus, Nong Zhiwen waited at the door of Director Qian’s office until late in the evening, until the security guard informed him that he couldn’t stay there any longer; he left without having seen Director Qian.

With no other options, Nong Zhiwen went back to the hospital outpatient department to inquire about Director Qian’s schedule, but everyone had already left work. So, he headed to the emergency department to ask instead. Since it wasn’t the same department, the emergency doctors all said they didn’t know, but finally, one emergency doctor said, "I’ll ask the ward for you," and called the on-duty doctor in general surgery, who then found Director Qian’s schedule.
