Chapter 438 - 438 Afterward Ill come to you for medical treatment

Chapter 438: Afterward, I’ll come to you for medical treatment. Chapter 438: Afterward, I’ll come to you for medical treatment. The seniors are technical experts, belonging to the pragmatic school of thought. For a doctor, the most important thing is to cure the patient’s illness; whatever else you say, what use is it? It’s of no use at all.

Xie Wanying suddenly thought of Senior Cao’s handkerchief and asked the oldest sister apprentice, “Where can one buy a handkerchief?”

“Are you buying it to give to someone?” Knowing that the junior sister apprentice didn’t use handkerchiefs herself, Lau Jingyun asked.

“Not to give to someone, it’s just—” Xie Wanying was embarrassed to say that she might have ruined someone else’s handkerchief with disinfectant.

Lau Jingyun looked at her expression and guessed what was going on, and said with a laugh, “Wait for the weekend, and I’ll take you to the department store.”

Having been in the Capital for several years, she had never gone shopping at any commercial centers. Things were expensive there, and she couldn’t afford them. However, she had to buy Senior Cao’s handkerchief. Xie Wanying thought that the gentle Senior Cao had helped her a lot, and she hadn’t properly thanked him yet. The weekend was just right; she would buy the handkerchief, pick up her laundered coat from the laundry shop, and then give them both back to Senior Cao.

In the evening, she made a phone call to the nurses’ station at the thoracic surgery department. Senior Zhou wouldn’t have given information, but Xie Wanying could ask the friendly nurse sisters.

Seeing her junior sister apprentice’s clever move, Lau Jingyun heaped praise on her for having a backup plan.

“Patient He Xiangyu in bed twenty-two came back from a CT scan, and the doctor took her urine test reports. She’s currently on a drip with new medical orders, looks like two kinds of antibiotics. Must be some issues with her urine test, and the CT as well,” said the nurse, trying to comfort them both, “It should be fine. Once they figure out the reason for the fever, she’ll recover quickly.”

Hearing this, both Xie Wanying and Lau Jingyun felt relieved.

Later in the evening, Aunt Zhang called them and said to Xie Wanying, “A top student is a top student after all. We heard about it, you suspected there was something wrong with Xiang Yu’s urine, didn’t you? You were right. In the future, we’ll also come to you for medical advice.”

Xie Wanying was too scared to take on patients on her own and shook her head, “Auntie should look for the seniors to get medical attention. I’m not an official doctor; I don’t have the authority to prescribe medication.”

“When you become a doctor, we’ll come to you,” Aunt Zhang insisted as if she was sure about it.

Xie Wanying considered this as Aunt Zhang’s way of flattering her and just laughed it off.

The major surgery for bed number eight was set to begin on Tuesday.

Early in the morning, Xie Wanying and Lau Jingyun had breakfast early and left for the hospital. The two went to their respective departments, anesthesia, and General Surgery Department Two, to prepare for the patient’s surgery.

Upon arrival at the department, they found that the other doctors were already there. Tan Kelin arrived very early that morning and seemed to be studying the CT images.

“I won’t be on the operating table today. Judge the situation yourself,” Sun Yubo carefully instructed Xie Wanying.

Teacher Xiao Sun was so protective, afraid that without anyone covering her, this greenhorn might get scolded on the operating table. In the past, Teacher Sun would be there to protect her, but not today. Xie Wanying was extremely grateful.

Shi Xu turned his head, looked at the two of them muttering and spoke up, “Have you visited the patient yet?”

Upon arrival, Xie Wanying first circled the patient’s bed, learned from Teacher Sun, and replied, “The patient has been fasting, hasn’t eaten anything. The blood pressure is 95 systolic and 62 diastolic. Heart rate is 86 beats per minute, and respiratory rate is normal. The nurse has taken her to the operating room. The anesthesiologist came down yesterday.”

Seeing her complete response, Shi Xu said, “Go ahead and get ready.”

Receiving the order, Xie Wanying turned and left. As she was leaving, she suddenly noticed her notebook resting on Teacher Tan’s desk and wondered if she could take it with her.
