Chapter 687 - 687 Bravely propose surgery

Chapter 687: Bravely propose surgery Chapter 687: Bravely propose surgery Everyone had nearly had their say once around. The general opinion leaned towards not changing the current treatment plan for the patient. As for the suggestions raised by Song Xueling, the senior colleagues found them to lack operability, just empty talk.

Tao Zhijie’s eyes swept over the seated people, and finally, with a hint of questioning, his gaze settled on Xie Wanying’s face and asked, “Aren’t you going to offer your opinion regarding your classmate’s situation? Don’t you have any thoughts?”

This morning, she had passionately criticized her classmates, and had strenuously written a study and life plan for her classmate, and then gave a physical checkup at noon. Tao Zhijie’s look towards her revealed a trace of earnestness. Don’t tell him that what she had done before was just an act in front of him.

Hearing Senior Tao’s voice, Xie Wanying suddenly snapped back to reality, as she had just been listening to what the others were saying while thinking about how to offer suggestions for Student Zhao. She carefully confirmed her thoughts once more and then said, “Senior Tao, I asked for his own opinion at noon.”

“Hmm,” since Tao Zhijie had overheard their conversation, he certainly had seen that scene, “He trusts you a lot.”

As a medical student, it was very difficult to earn a considerable degree of trust from a classmate. Tao Zhijie, as someone who had been there, knew this well. They are all medical students, so why would classmates want to be examined by them instead of seeking advice from more experienced and knowledgeable teachers?

When the other doctors heard the news Tao Zhijie revealed, they thought: Zhao Zhaowei, this kid, actually doesn’t trust the doctors but prefers to believe in a classmate who is just an intern. It was exceedingly rare, not to mention, perhaps his illness had really gone to his brain.

Even if a classmate is extremely talented, well-read in textbooks, without treatment experience. It was like what Talented Scholar Song just suggested, leaving them, the seniors, at a loss for words.

“You continue,” Tao Zhijie encouraged the newcomer to speak.

The gentle tone of Senior Tao was incredibly motivating. With no pressure left, Xie Wanying spoke up, “I agree with what Doctor Song said. But, I think what he meant was not about blood tests.”

“If not blood tests, then what?” the other doctors asked, their gazes turning towards Song Xueling: Is that what you mean too?

In the normally lazy and quiet eyes of Song Xueling, there now appeared a hint of surprise: How so, had she been quietly observing him as well?

“I speculate that Doctor Song actually intends to go directly into surgery to investigate inside,” Xie Wanying said.

What? All the seniors present exclaimed in unison, “What?!” shocked to the point they nearly glared at her.

“He currently doesn’t have the necessary signs for surgery,” He Guangyou reminded the two newcomers. This matter of surgery, it’s not like what’s performed on TV dramas, where you swing the scalpel whenever you want. Surgery is harmful to the body. If you can avoid it, you should. Otherwise, you’re not a qualified doctor.

Xie Wanying certainly knew this, as she had been blamed by the patient’s family for it in the past.

But now the issue with Student Zhao was, Xie Wanying consulted with the seniors: “His jaundice hasn’t subsided, it feels like mild jaundice, but why isn’t there a trace of improvement despite a week on antibiotics. During the physical examination, I found that his back pain was radiating to his right shoulder.”

“His pain reached his right shoulder?” He Guangyou was taken aback by her words.

Tao Zhijie looked at his expression and asked, “Didn’t you perform a physical examination when you did your rounds?”

“After the ultrasound, the diagnosis was pretty much determined. Every time we did rounds he would get emotional and wouldn’t let us touch him much,” He Guangyou admitted honestly. If a patient is uncooperative, it’s difficult for a doctor to perform a thorough physical examination.
