Chapter 312: 306 Various Ways of Flirting (2/4)
The two arrived at the Emergency Department at Evening nine-thirty.
At this time, it is exactly when the Emergency Department is busiest and most chaotic.
But in winter, internal medicine patients are the majority, for example acute gastroenteritis, acute myocardial infarction, acute cerebral infarction, etc.
For internal medicine conditions, Zheng Ren doesn't care much; just send them to the Inpatient Department for hospitalization. He mainly observes whether there are any misdiagnosed patients in the Emergency Observation Ward.
After walking through a few observation rooms, Zheng Ren sought out the serious patients to ask about their condition. The treatments given by the internal medicine emergency doctors were spot-on, so Zheng Ren didn't need to add any extra measures.
This is just routine; Zheng Ren felt Relaxation.
Turning the corner, Zheng Ren saw on a chair outside the internal medicine consultation room an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old college-student-looking girl, knees drawn up, clutching her stomach, face full of pain.
Meanwhile, the internal medicine doctor was earnestly telling her something.
He glanced at the System Panel in the upper right corner of his vision, and Zheng Ren froze for a moment.
This girl has no illness at all; a faint green, like grass, full of vitality.
What's going on?
Could it be that this Big Pig Trotter of a system has run into some trouble?
Zheng Ren suddenly felt Tension.
Over the past few months, with the system's boost, Zheng Ren's medical skill has leapt forward. Whether it's Shou Bing or diagnosis, it has seen much Enhancement compared to before.
But precisely because of this, Zheng Ren has constantly felt Worry that if the system ever malfunctioned, his own misdiagnosis...
If it were business, a single system mistake would just mean starting over; Zheng Ren wouldn't mind.
But as a doctor, once a mistake is made, it's a matter of life and death, and there's no way to start over.
It's a special profession with an extremely low margin for error.
So he has always been very vigilant.
Today, indeed, a situation arose.
Zheng Ren hurried over; Su Yun saw Zheng Ren looking like he was facing a formidable foe, felt surprised, and followed behind.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Chief Zheng, this patient is considered to have acute gastroenteritis, but she refuses to stay for observation no matter what, and insists on corresponding anti-inflammatory treatment. She refuses examination and treatment, and is in severe pain—what do you think we should do?" After saying this, the internal medicine emergency doctor felt relieved.
"Um, Chief Zheng, please take a look at this patient and persuade her. The room is full of patients; I'll go handle things." After speaking, the internal medicine emergency doctor turned and went into the room.
For difficult or complicated cases, or patients with poor compliance, doctors are reluctant to get involved. One slip, and it becomes a landmine that blows up the attending doctor to smithereens.
What is a good senior doctor for?
To bear the thunder.
Zheng Ren glanced at the girl; beside her was a boy awkwardly asking after her warmth and cold.
Seeing the boy's awkward manner, Zheng Ren suddenly felt like slipping away.
He himself also wanted to ask after Xie Yiren's warmth and cold like that, but didn't know how to start.
"Hey, look at what her boyfriend is doing," Su Yun whispered in Zheng Ren's ear.
"Cough..." Zheng Ren, feeling a bit embarrassed, leaned forward and asked: "Where do you feel Uncomfortable?"
"Doctor, my stomach hurts," the girl said with a tearful face.
It didn't seem that painful either; Zheng Ren couldn't read from her expression that she was in agony.
Just a moment ago he had been worried the patient might have an ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cyst torsion—conditions related to abdominal pain that are hard to differentiate.
It didn't seem like that.
"When did it start?" Zheng Ren asked.
"After dinner tonight, it suddenly started hurting," the girl replied, enduring the pain.
"Doctor, her condition isn't serious, is it?" the boy asked anxiously.
"What tests have been done?" Zheng Ren asked.
"I didn't bring money, so I haven't had any tests," the girl said.
"I have money," the boy interjected, "but she won't let me spend it."
Zheng Ren felt a bit Confusion; with such severe stomach pain, why not even do an examination? If this delays diagnosis and treatment, how would it be accounted for?
"Little miss, this won't do," Zheng Ren thought to persuade her, then said gently: "When you're sick, you need to be examined and treated. If you keep toughing it out, it probably won't help your condition."
"No, I won't be examined," the girl said stubbornly.
"..." Zheng Ren was speechless.
"Come on, let's go to the treatment room and first do a physical exam," Su Yun said from behind Zheng Ren.
"Doctor, order whatever tests you need; I have money," the boy insisted.
"If you go pay, I'll leave," the girl said angrily, leaning into the boy's embrace and twisting his arm.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like they're abusing this single dog... Zheng Ren felt a surge of stifled anger in his chest.
"Then let's skip the tests; at least let's do a physical exam," Zheng Ren coaxed.
The girl finally agreed to the physical exam; the internal medicine consultation room was packed with people, and a few of them went to the surgical treatment room.
Along the way, the boy intermittently described how the illness had onset tonight.
The two were freshmen at a university in the development zone, and they had been dating for almost a month.
Tonight they had planned to see a movie; after watching it they ate a bite, and the girl suddenly developed abdominal pain.
Because City First Hospital was relatively close, they went straight there.
Su Yun leaned in to whisper something to the boy's ear; the boy blinked, then firmly shook his head.
"No history of intimate contact, so we can rule out ectopic pregnancy; but if we could examine, we should still check." Su Yun returned to Zheng Ren's side and said.
"Mm." Zheng Ren turned the girl's head to the left, had her lie on the treatment bed with legs drawn up, and began the physical exam.
The abdomen was soft, showing no signs of an acute abdomen.
Moreover, the most Strange, there is no clear point of tenderness. Zheng Ren, when examining her, the girl said it was pain in the left middle abdomen.
But Zheng Ren, after all, is battle-hardened; while talking to the girl, he pressed other spots. Inadvertently, he pressed again on the left middle abdomen.
The girl showed no reaction at all, a world of difference from when she had just said it hurt.
Could she be faking illness? But why would she do that? Zheng Ren was puzzled.
Looking at the sweet appearance of the boy and girl, it hardly seems like they came to cause a medical disturbance.
Moreover, after the incident in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, all medical disturbances have vanished without a trace.
So late at night, the girl is faking illness just to come to the Hospital to torment herself, this single dog? Nowadays young people, are they all this playful? What kind of new trick is this?
Zheng Ren worried.
The health condition given by the system remained green and healthy, and the examination also showed no clear indications.
Zheng Ren judged that it was most likely feigned illness.
But……
"Boss, come here a moment." Su Yun walked to the doorway at this time and waved at Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren pondered, then walked over.
"What do you think?" Zheng Ren went out the door, saw out of the corner of his eye that the couple hadn't followed, and asked softly.
"At ten o'clock, the girl's illness should get better." Su Yun said mysteriously.
He also noticed Zheng Ren's little trick during the examination; this kind of trick cannot be hidden from Su Yun, who is likewise a doctor.
But he said it would get better at ten o'clock—how does that make sense?
