Chapter 489 - 489 489 On-duty Resigned Fate

Chapter 489: [489] On-duty Resigned Fate Chapter 489: [489] On-duty Resigned Fate Clinically, there are plenty of patients and family members who throw tantrums, and doctors can only adjust their own attitudes.

He walked to the nurse’s station to ask.

The nurse reported, “Director Shen called and said we’ll need to add a bed later. A patient will be coming in from the emergency room shortly.”

A call from the leadership. Sun Yubo looked up at the ceiling, feeling as if his luck wasn’t as good as Doctor Wu’s last night. He entered the nurse’s station, picked up the receiver, and listened to the leader’s instructions.

With a lot on her plate, Xie Wanying dared not stop the task at hand. She stood listening to the teacher on the phone while quickly instructing Li Qi’an to find the medical records for several patients and to write the medical orders that the teacher had just approved.

Later, when things got busier, there would be no time for these minor tasks in the overwhelming chaos.

“Yes, yes, Director, I understand. I’ll see if I can disconnect a cardiac monitor from another patient to hook up the new one,” Sun Yubo tried to respond to the leader’s commands, “Correct, Teacher Shixu is on the second line tonight, and Teacher Tan is on the third line.”

The moment the receiver was hung up, all the first-line duty personnel could only look at each other: resigned.

“What kind of patient is it?” Li Qi’an asked Teacher Sun.

Sun Yubo couldn’t be bothered to answer this rookie, feeling that the kid definitely wouldn’t be of any help and just hoping he wouldn’t add to the trouble.

Seeing the teacher didn’t reply, Li Qi’an felt disheartened.

Xie Wanying caught this scene with her eyes. She quietly approached her classmate and whispered, “Go stand by bed 38. There’s no monitor left in the department, keep an eye on her condition.”

The patient in bed 38, School Beauty Li Yaxi? Li Qi’an frowned deeply, turned to her, and said, “Yingying, do you doubt me too? Do you think I would be infatuated with the School Beauty?”

“That’s not it. You’ve got it wrong. Didn’t I just say? There are no monitors left. I noticed her condition isn’t great, she looks a bit off. Take a blood pressure cuff, and if she’s asleep and you find her pulse quickening, measure her blood pressure right away,” Xie Wanying said.

“Did you talk to her?”

“When I went to her bedside, she fell asleep before we could talk much, she seemed very tired.”

Li Qi’an suddenly gave her a glance and said, “Didn’t you say bed 23 was also in a bad condition? Maybe I should go to bed 23 instead.”

His classmate was actually volunteering to tend to bed 23? Xie Wanying blinked. She knew the patient in bed 23 was definitely in a much more serious condition than bed 38. Indeed, she had intended to let the classmate start with a lighter case.

“Alright then,” seeing her expression, Li Qi’an said, “You’re worried about bed 38 too, aren’t you? I’ll keep an eye on both beds for you.” After speaking, he took the blood pressure cuff and headed to the ward.

Seeing her classmate finally showing initiative, Xie Wanying breathed a sigh of relief.

After the call with the leadership, Sun Yubo came back and said to her, “Come on, let’s go check the drainage tubes for beds 17 and 36 first.”

They didn’t waste any time and quickly made their way to the ward. After checking, they found that the drainage tube for bed 17 was significantly clogged and might need flushing. They ordered the nurse to perform the flush first, planning to continue discussing with the attending physician tomorrow. The situation with the drainage tube in bed 36 could be observed for the time being.

Bed 52 had taken a sleeping pill and could now sleep. Bed 61 was given an ice pack, as it seemed to exhibit a low-grade fever possibly on the rise. Sun Yubo found this patient’s condition peculiar; the attending mentioned it might be a blood disorder, but it didn’t seem likely. On the way he asked the student about the previously unfinished topic, “What do you think her illness is?”
