Chapter 127: I Was Just Saying It Casually, I Don't Have That Problem

When Ji Xiang opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the System Operating Room.

"Teacher, why am I back?"

The System NPC said indifferently, "Micturition Syncope. The Emergency Department doctors and nurses went to perform emergency rescue and didn't notice you had fainted."

"!!!"

Micturition syncope is also known as micturition collapse, commonly referred to as "Urinary Fainting Syndrome."

Its primary manifestation is sudden fainting due to a brief loss of consciousness when people get up to urinate at night or in the early morning.

Urinating always produces a brief impairment of consciousness, and this impairment easily induces micturition syncope.

Ji Xiang knew that this situation was caused by low blood pressure resulting from vascular dilation and contraction disorders, which led to temporary insufficient blood supply to the brain; the patient could wake up on their own about two minutes after the syncope occurred and would not suffer any sequelae.

But he never expected that after going through all kinds of hardships to finally insert the urinary catheter during the Empathy experience, he would end up suffering from micturition syncope!

Does this count as Medical Malpractice?

The thought flashed through Ji Xiang's mind, and he thought of another question.

"Teacher, are the Empathy experiences I go through specific?"

"Of course," the System NPC said. "They are all modified from templates of patients with more serious conditions."

"Templates?"

The System NPC smiled slightly, not answering Ji Xiang's question, but instead continuing on their own, "Prostatic Hypertrophy and Prostatic Hyperplasia themselves are not serious; men will have some to a greater or lesser extent after the age of 30. This kind of Empathy would take many years to experience the change in the condition, and the system energy currently does not support it."

"That's really uncomfortable," Ji Xiang scratched his head and said sincerely.

"Every illness is uncomfortable; health is wealth." The System NPC poured a bowl of chicken soup for the soul for Ji Xiang, which Ji Xiang directly ignored.

"Teacher, then I'm going back."

"Mm."

……

……

Ji Xiang returned from the System Operating Room and felt that his whole person was much more refreshed.

The feeling of not being sick is truly great! Even if it's just a small case of "Prostatic Hyperplasia."

"At our age, it's all the same; I'm the same way," Liu Zhuren said, looking at the Patient.

At this moment, he didn't look like a Doctor, but rather like two old men meeting while out for a stroll, discussing their own unspeakable medical conditions.

"Zhuren, you have it too?" The Patient was somewhat moved.

"Of course," Liu Zhuren said. "The prostate is the only organ in the human body that can grow for a lifetime. They say nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids; you might avoid hemorrhoids, but you can't avoid Prostatic Hyperplasia. It's just a matter of whether it's mild or severe; you can't escape it, you can't escape it."

"Are your symptoms severe?" the Patient pressed.

Ji Xiang listened silently as Liu Zhuren unknowingly shifted his perspective, closing the distance between himself and the Patient, "chatting" as if they were fellow patients discussing their conditions.

Every one of his sentences had a purpose, and he quickly figured out the Patient's condition.

After that, Liu Zhuren began to introduce several treatment plans to the Patient.

Oral medication, Green Laser Resection, and even acupuncture were included.

The Patient was also so stifled by the Prostatic Hypertrophy that he no longer wanted to endure it, and he directly chose Green Laser Resection.

Although Liu Zhuren was a bit slow in seeing patients, he handled the problems quite beautifully.

The Patient left, and when the next patient came in, Ji Xiang asked curiously, "Zhuren, your prostate..."

"Pah, my prostate is perfectly fine," Liu Zhuren said candidly. "I've seen too many patients' conditions in Clinical practice; I was just saying it casually so the patient wouldn't be so constrained."

"Ha!"

Ji Xiang carefully scrutinized Liu Zhuren's expression, but he actually couldn't tell which of his words were true and which were false.

"You see, I made it sound so real, but in fact, I can still pee a zhang away even against the wind!" Liu Zhuren's confident words did not move Ji Xiang; this sentence was one hundred percent bragging.

"Zhuren, you really have rich Clinical experience," Ji Xiang praised sincerely.

Liu Zhuren glanced at Ji Xiang, knowing he didn't believe he could pee a zhang away, and felt slightly regretful.

"Actually, it's also about my Expert clinic shifts."

"Hm?"

"In a general clinic, you see over a hundred patients a day; where would you have the time to chat so much with them? They come in, you ask about the condition, order tests, and after they're done, you judge based on the Auxiliary examinations and do what needs to be done."

"If you chatted with one patient for fifteen minutes, the patients behind would be cursing. Many times, you have to look at things dialectically; Xiao Ji, don't be like the man who marked the boat to find his sword."

Although Ji Xiang felt the idiom "marking the boat to find the sword" was debatable in its usage, he understood what Li Zhuren meant.

"When I was young and working in the general clinic, I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. Let alone drink water, I didn't even have time to go to the bathroom to relieve myself. I had to hold my urine for at least several hours at a time. If you went to the bathroom, you'd run into bad-tempered patients who would curse, or even try to start a fight."

"There, it's a bit better now. In the future, when you go into Clinical practice and work in the Outpatient Department, remember to drink less water. Holding your urine often is not good for your body."

Liu Zhuren rambled on about some fragmented experiences, and the next patient came in.

Ji Xiang honestly typed up the Outpatient Medical Record; he knew that Liu Zhuren's intention to mentor him was very strong and was clearly written all over his face.

And the communication between Liu Zhuren and the patients was also full of the mindset of an old Clinical Doctor; although he had never experienced Empathy, he could make things up so convincingly that it sounded real.

But did Liu Zhuren really not have Prostatic Hyperplasia?

Time passed quickly, and after seeing 12 patients in the afternoon, it was time to get off work.

There is indeed a big difference between seeing 12 patients and 50 patients in half a day; at least Liu Zhuren had some time to communicate.

"Done, calling it a day!" Liu Zhuren said with a smile after seeing the last patient.

"Xiao Ji, are you going home or back to the inpatient department?" Liu Zhuren asked again.

"Going back to the inpatient department to finish the Medical Record before going home."

"During your Standardized Residency Training, you should still look at more Clinical cases. Although our Urology department doesn't have many emergencies... by the way, I heard from Xiao Wu that you have a way of dealing with Northern Pike."

"Ah." Ji Xiang had even forgotten about the Northern Pike incident.

"Do you like fishing too?"

"My dad fishes occasionally, but he doesn't have much of an addiction to it," Ji Xiang answered truthfully.

"What a pity, it would be great if we could compare notes on fishing."

When an angler talks about fishing, their eyes look like artificial diamonds, emitting a uniform, dazzling light.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

Liu Zhuren didn't think it was strange for someone to knock on the door at this time; he said while packing his things, "Come in."

Ji Xiang was stunned to see Feng Yuqing walk in.

Feng Yuqing made a face at Ji Xiang, then put on a standard professional smile, "Director, may I bother you for a few minutes?"

Liu Zhuren looked up and glanced at Feng Yuqing.

"It's time to get off work, let's talk while we walk." Although Feng Yuqing's beauty was at least a 90, Liu Zhuren clearly had no interest and was not prepared to waste time.

Moreover, he had seen countless sales representatives, and at a glance, he could tell Feng Yuqing was not a serious veteran salesperson, so Liu Zhuren was not interested.
