Chapter 760: Indecision in the Face of Trouble

~8 min read 1,415 words

By the time other doctors rushed over, there were signs of bleeding from the Patient's five sense organs.

"Consider it a post-transfusion Hemolytic Reaction, hurry and send them to the ICU!" the professor from the Internal Medicine Department in charge of the consultation took one look and gave the diagnosis.

Xu Leyu thought the same; he immediately contacted the ICU to transfer the Patient over.

The Patient had been transferred, but Xu Leyu felt extremely uneasy.

If it were a transfusion reaction, his own responsibility would be minimal; after all, everything that should have been done was done according to protocol, so even if the Patient's condition worsened and eventually led to a Medical Dispute, he himself would not be in trouble.

But!

But!!

There is one other possibility for a similar reaction!

Xu Leyu thought of a possibility he could not accept—that the blood type for the transfusion was wrong.

He returned to the department and immediately called the Nurse over.

"Was the Patient's blood transfusion verified?"

Xu Leyu was very nervous; his voice even became shrill as he spoke.

The young Nurse was stunned for a moment; she sensed something was wrong from Xu Leyu's serious expression.

This was not like just eating or driving; the young Nurse took out all the transfusion forms and verification sheets.

While organizing them, Xu Leyu saw the Nurse's hands trembling.

In emergency resuscitation, there are always times when things are overlooked; he hoped, prayed, that nothing had gone wrong.

At this very moment, both Xu Leyu and the Nurse were praying silently.

If they really had transfused the Patient with the wrong blood type, that would be fucking disastrous.

It would be a clear-cut Medical Malpractice, and a major one at that.

A few minutes later, Xu Leyu looked at the verification information on the transfusion form and let out a long breath.

The Eight-Item Verification before the Blood Transfusion was complete.

The Eight-Item Verification content—requires two medical staff members to simultaneously verify the patient's department, name, gender, hospital admission number, cross-matching results, blood bag number, type of blood product, and dosage of the blood product.

It was confirmed to be Type A blood without error.

The signature information of the verifiers was also all on the work documents.

There could be no mistake, absolutely no mistake.

The Nurse wiped her hands hard on her White Uniform and gave a bitter smile.

"Brother Xu, you scared me to death."

"I was scared to death too; the Patient is bleeding from the seven orifices, and I suspect it's a Hemolytic Reaction with large-scale internal bleeding. If it were caused by a wrong blood transfusion, both of us would be out of a job."

The Nurse shivered.

"Impossible, the Eight-Item Verification is the top priority; even if I didn't check, the people in the Blood Transfusion Department would have to."

"It's good that it was checked, it's good that it's fine."

Xu Leyu let out a long breath.

The Nurse and the doctor on duty hurried to complete the Medical Record and transferred the electronic Medical Record to the ICU within half an hour.

Although the difficult Patient had been sent away, Xu Leyu still felt unsettled.

His Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder flared up; he checked the blood bag again and personally delivered the blood bag, various verification reports, and the transfusion form to the ICU.

The ICU doctor also considered the possibility of a wrong blood type; when he saw the documents sent by Chief Resident Xu, the two verified them again and confirmed there was no error.

"Sigh, then it's just the Patient's bad luck," the ICU Chief Resident sighed. "The Patient is now in Renal Failure; we're preparing for Blood Filtration to see if we can save them."

"Chief Gao, have you ever seen a similar situation?"

"Aside from one time when I saw a wrong blood transfusion during my internship, I've never seen such a severe Hemolytic Reaction."

"..." Xu Leyu was speechless.

A Hemolytic Reaction involving bleeding from the seven orifices is hard to explain by anything other than a wrong blood transfusion.

But the transfusion verification form and the blood bag had been repeatedly compared and passed through the hands of several people; there was absolutely no way there could be a mistake.

He glanced at the Patient's left femur; although the Femoral Shaft Fracture was insignificant at this point, Xu Leyu still measured the diameter of the Patient's femur.

The fracture site was still bleeding.

It was hard to say whether Osteofascial Compartment Syndrome would occur, and it was highly likely that problems would arise.

Xu Leyu stared blankly at the Patient's bruised and shiny thigh, thinking of the countless troubles to come, his head aching as if it were splitting.

There was no point in staying here, so Xu Leyu sighed, gave a few instructions to the ICU Resident Chief, and left.

Fucking hell!

On a perfectly good New Year's Eve, he actually encountered an Acute Hemolytic Reaction.

Xu Leyu was so angry he cursed.

On the way back, he suddenly thought of something.

This could be considered a rare case, right? Thinking of his New Year's plans and ambitions, his hand reached for his phone, and he hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, Xu Leyu took out his phone and dialed Ji Xiang's number.

After telling Ji Xiang about the Patient's situation, Xu Leyu said hypocritically and apologetically, "Xiao Ji, I keep feeling like something is wrong. You're good at diagnosis; could you trouble yourself to come take a look?"

"Wait a moment, I'll be there right away!"

Ji Xiang was not the least bit unhappy and agreed immediately.

Only then did Xu Leyu heave a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ji was still young and full of energy. The third-tier duty professor had been woken up with a gloomy face and hadn't given him a good look since.

By comparison... there was no point in comparing these things at all.

Ji Xiang changed his clothes and saw his old man sitting upright in front of the computer, staring at the screen with a purple clay teapot in one hand; not wanting to disturb him, he petted Sha Paozi and rode his bicycle to the hospital.

The Patient's condition was very urgent, so Ji Xiang reserved 30 minutes for himself.

If he could not find the correct diagnosis within this time, he would have no choice but to go to the System Operating Room to seek help from the system NPC.

Ji Xiang was consciously increasing his ability to solve problems independently; heaven knows when the system NPC would leave him.

Moreover, in his subconscious, Ji Xiang had a sense of being unyielding, a self-perception that he was the best in the world.

This was something Ji Yongchang had instilled in him over many years.

It would not be an exaggeration to say it was hereditary.

Along the way, Ji Xiang pedaled his bike quickly while repeatedly pondering the situation General Manager Xu Leyu had described to him.

A Femoral Shaft Fracture was just a minor illness; a surgery would suffice.

There was bleeding, and a Blood Transfusion when hemoglobin was below 60g was also not a problem.

The Eight-Item Verification, compared by two different medical staff, remained cautious and compliant.

Then the Hemolytic Reaction could only be caused by an Allergic Reaction, belonging to the body's self-defense Metamorphic Reaction.

It was just relatively intense, manifesting externally as bleeding from the seven orifices.

Theoretically, there was nothing special about it; whether the person could be saved depended on fate, on whether the Patient's life was tough enough.

Gradually, Ji Xiang had also become accustomed to using whether a Patient's life was tough enough to ponder treatment.

Arriving at the hospital, Ji Xiang changed his clothes and went to the ICU again with Xu Leyu.

The Patient's condition was not optimistic; despite emergency fluid infusion and support from various medications, the blood pressure remained very low.

Furthermore, an Ultrasound showed that fluid had begun to accumulate in the Patient's thoracic and abdominal cavities, and a neurological examination showed signs of intracranial hemorrhage.

These all pointed to one thing—large-scale, multi-organ internal bleeding.

Ji Xiang did not understand what the problem was; even though he had treated many emergency patients with Zhou Jiaoshou and Shen Lang during Empathy, he still had no clue.

He had no choice but to hold his breath and focus, entering the System Operating Room.
