Chapter 570: The Front Line of Public Opinion

"Doctor, thank you." The Patient still forced themselves to express polite gratitude.

Although they were listless due to massive blood loss, the bleeding had been stopped, and short-term communication was not a problem.

"I told you so much, yet you really didn't listen to a single word." Zou Zhuren was so angry he laughed, his smile clearly carrying more mockery.

"..."

"..."

Both the Patient and the Family Member looked embarrassed.

"It's fine now. No food or water for 3 days. If there is no bloody stool or other discomfort, you can try drinking porridge." Zou Zhuren did not repeatedly mention the mistake the Patient had made earlier; he began to talk about the subsequent treatment.

"Yes, yes, yes." The Patient nodded repeatedly.

"Three days, right." The Family Member took out their phone and glanced at the time.

Zou Zhuren understood what the Family Member was thinking; he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and laughed, "It doesn't have to be a strict 72 hours. Early the day after tomorrow, if there is no bloody stool, consult the attending doctor. If the doctor agrees, you can tentatively drink some porridge."

"Oh, oh, oh."

The Family Member also said "oh" three times in a row.

Zou Zhuren gave a few more instructions to the Patient and the Family Member, then left with Ji Xiang.

This segment in the program was captured by cameras. Presumably, the Family Member had agreed to the production team's involvement at the time; it is unclear whether it was Ji Xiang or Zou Zhuren who did the work.

In a hospital, as long as the Chief Surgeon steps forward, the vast majority of patients and family members will not refuse such "small matters."

In the Review Room.

Guangtou Zhuchiren asked, "Teacher Shen, are similar situations common?"

"Not common, or one could say extremely rare." Professor Shen said seriously, "Things like not following medical advice... let me give you an example. Many years ago, when I first started my rotation in the hospital, a Nurse was diagnosed with Acute Appendicitis and needed surgery."

"Because it was one of our own nurses, the Lao Zhuren at the time performed the surgery. But when it was time to send the patient over, we saw the Nurse hiding in the Nurse's Duty Room eating."

"Ah? Didn't she know?" A guest looked at Professor Shen in confusion.

"She knew." Professor Shen smiled slightly, "People, we all have moments when our brains aren't working right. No matter who they are, regardless of gender, age, status, or position, everyone has such moments. So, I still hold a relatively tolerant attitude toward this kind of situation, as long as things can be remedied."

"Teacher Shen, regarding the Capsule Gastrointestinal Endoscope you mentioned earlier, although it's a bit expensive, why not use it?" Guangtou Zhuchiren stopped digging into the patient's compliance and took the opportunity to raise a question.

"The Capsule Gastrointestinal Endoscope cannot take pathological biopsies; at most, it can only see if there is a problem. If there is a problem, one still has to use a conventional gastrointestinal endoscope for the procedure. Many patients don't understand having to pay twice, so it's a waste of breath."

"I always feel that the Capsule Gastrointestinal Endoscope is very advanced." Guangtou Zhuchiren smiled crookedly, "A few years ago, I heard that a big shot in gastrointestinal endoscopy in Shanghai performed a colonoscopy on himself."

"The difficulty isn't too high..." Professor Shen smiled, but he clearly hesitated when he reached this point, then shook his head, "But I couldn't bring myself to perform it on myself."

"If it were a Capsule Gastrointestinal Endoscope, could this situation be avoided?"

Guangtou Zhuchiren continued to dig deeper into the topic of the Capsule Gastrointestinal Endoscope.

But the one who answered his question next was not Professor Shen; instead, the scene shifted to the Doctor's Office.

In the Doctor's Office, there was a whiteboard. Zou Zhuren stood in front of it, explaining to the Interns of the program team the differences between Ordinary Gastrointestinal Endoscope, Painless Gastrointestinal Endoscope, and Capsule Gastrointestinal Endoscope.

This transition was exceptionally well-executed, as if Zou Zhuren had heard Guangtou Zhuchiren's question and started answering directly without any delay.

Generally speaking, it is called a gastrointestinal endoscope, but it can only see the stomach, part of the ileum, as well as the colon and rectum.

Because the jejunum is located deeper, entering it requires navigating many turns and carries the risk of intestinal perforation, so a Capsule Gastrointestinal Endoscope is generally used to examine it.

The few minutes of explanation served as popular science content. Zou Zhuren's explanation of the gastrointestinal endoscope was concise and comprehensive after editing, and there were even animations to accompany it. Even Bai Chuzhang and Liu Zhuren nodded frequently while watching.

"The program is good!" Liu Zhuren gave his verdict, "There must be professional doctors guiding the editing on the side. Lao Bai, I haven't heard such professional popular science in many years. It's concise, comprehensive, and down-to-earth. Not bad, not bad."

"Indeed, I have always wanted to do similar popular science work, but I never had the chance. Now, seeing a variety show actually manage to do it..."

Bai Chuzhang said, pouring himself a drink.

Liu Zhi vaguely saw Lao Bai slightly flick his wrist before drinking, as if offering a toast to the program team.

He understood what Lao Bai meant.

The more detailed the medical popular science work is, the easier the Clinical work becomes.

This belongs to the front line of public opinion. Professional doctors providing popular science, combined with movie-level animations produced with no regard for cost—all of this directly swept away those public accounts that look professional but actually mislead people.

"However, the program team's original intention seems to have changed." Bai Chuzhang gulped down a mouthful of wine and said with a smile.

"Sigh, what's so interesting about a few Interns making fools of themselves or showing off in the Clinical setting? Look at Xiao Ji, he snapped a ballpoint pen and poked it directly into the patient's main airway. I ask you, is that awesome or what!"

"Hahaha." Bai Chuzhang laughed, "According to the tone of the program, this episode should be over. But looking at the time and the content, it won't be all commercials from here on out, will it?"

Liu Zhuren didn't notice this; he had already forgotten the passage of time.

Glancing at his phone, Liu Zhuren realized there was still more than half an hour left. He frowned slightly, "In theory, the program team shouldn't be that shameless."

"What's next? The popular science work on gastrointestinal endoscopes has been completed, and we've also seen an Emergency Rescue of a patient who didn't follow medical advice, didn't stay for observation, and went home to eat and drink recklessly, leading to massive bleeding."

Bai Chuzhang said, pondering for a moment.

"I can't think of what other content there could be."

"Could it be the Interns going for Clinical practice?" Liu Zhuren asked.

"No." Bai Chuzhang gave his own thought directly, "The program team's directors and producers are veterans. If they wanted Clinical practice at the beginning, they would definitely have edited it before the Emergency Rescue. Now that the audience's threshold has been raised, doing Clinical practice again has no meaning."

Liu Zhuren also felt it was a bit strange. Could it really be that the remaining time is all commercials? That would be too shameless.

In the program, Ji Xiang sat upright in his seat. He seemed to be listening attentively, not performing by taking notes in a notebook.

Bai Chuzhang watched this young man with a smile, when suddenly that strange sense of disjointedness appeared again.

"Eh?" Bai Chuzhang was a bit surprised.

Similar strange feelings always appeared with Ji Xiang, but Bai Chuzhang could never get used to it.
