Chapter 544: In the doctorâs eyes, all lives are equal. Chapter 544: In the doctorâs eyes, all lives are equal. âDoctor, we need to arrange our own affairs.â
âWhat do you need to arrange for a hospital stay? Is there anything more important than treating an illness? Does she need to work?â Sun Yubo looked at the patient in her seventies or eighties and asked.
âNo, sheâs my mother-in-law, I need to take care of her. I need to sort out my own matters before coming here,â said Zhang Weiâs mother.
Upon hearing her daughter-in-law speak, Grandma Zhang, lying in the hospital bed, kept silent.
âThereâs no need. You must leave in a moment,â Sun Yubo didnât waste words, âOur inpatient department has rules. Unless there are special circumstances and without the doctorâs permission, relatives are not allowed to stay overnight. There are visiting hours.â
âThat wonât do. My mother-in-law wonât be at ease without me following her,â Zhang Weiâs mother said with a vigilant look that frequently glanced at Xie Wanying. She remembered the accidental encounter at the outpatient clinic with Sun Yubo and Xie Wanying. Could it be that after their last meeting, Xie Wanying said something bad about her to others and caused such treatment?
âThis is the hospitalâs regulation. Tomorrow the attending doctor will tell you the same thing,â Sun Yubo told the patient matter-of-factly, then instructed Xie Wanying, âYou go ahead and perform the admission examination for her.â
âYes, teacher,â nodded Xie Wanying.
What, she was supposed to perform the checkup on the patient? Zhang Weiâs mother was shocked and followed Sun Yubo to ask, âIsnât she just a medical student?â
âWhen youâre in the hospital, you should follow the doctorâs arrangements. I was also a medical student once,â Sun Yubo didnât want to argue with her and left after dropping this line.
Every doctor has started from being a medical student. If patients do not allow medical students to practice, will there be doctors once the old ones are gone? So in her heart, what Zhang Weiâs mother thought after hearing the doctorâs words was: If medical students need to practice on patients, they shouldnât practice on her familyâs. They should go find other patients. Yes, her familyâs patientâs life is much more precious than the others.
If the doctors knew about her thoughts, they could only chuckle. In the doctorsâ eyes, every life is equal; there is no distinction between the precious and the lowly.
âIâm going to examine Grandma,â Xie Wanying approached the bed and began observing the patient, putting on her stethoscope to listen to the patientâs heart and lungs.
Zhang Weiâs mother stopped her, âWait, I need to feed her something first.â
By all means, she wouldnât let her touch the patient!
Seeing this, Li Qiâan, who followed behind, didnât dare to approach the bed any closer. This patientâs family member seemed quite fierce.
âDr. Xie, have an apple and take a rest first. You look very tired from a dayâs work,â said the father of Xiao Yazhi, in bed 7, offering Xie Wanying a fruit.
Some patient families are very kind. Xie Wanying smiled.
âDoctor sister,â called Xiao Yazhi from the bed, feeling sorry for the doctor sister.
Seeing that Zhang Weiâs mother insisted on feeding the patient first, Xie Wanying had to walk away and join Li Qiâan to check on Xiao Yazhi. As they passed bed 8, the elderly womanâs son and the elderly woman looked at them with concern and asked, âHave you eaten?â
âWe have.â
Zhang Weiâs mother frowned, thinking that perhaps the people in this ward were of low intelligence and uneducated, unable to distinguish what is a doctor and what is a medical student; otherwise, why would each one of them talk to Xie Wanying so pleasantly, as if they wanted to make a connection with Xie Wanying and the others.
After chatting with the children for a while, Xie Wanying didnât forget her teacherâs orders, keeping an eye on the new patientâs condition. When she saw that the family member was feeding the patient soybean and pig trotter soup, she quickly said, âDonât let her eat too much soybeans and fat.â
