The department called me and said it was a minor issue, so they asked me to swing by and take a look,” Xie Wanying answered.

“Bed 32, let’s go.” Doctor Zhuang led them down the hallway to the patient’s room.

She was headed to the second floor. Head down, Xie Wanying walked out of the Hepatobiliary Surgery department ready to head to Cardiology.

Halfway there, she felt someone’s eyes on her. Looking up, she saw Senior Cao emerge from Neurosurgery with eyes that seemed curious about her preoccupied appearance.

“Senior Cao,” Xie Wanying stopped in her tracks. It was quite the coincidence to run into him; their departments were directly across from each other.

Carrying his briefcase and ready to leave for the day, Cao Yong joined her, asking with concern, “Haven’t you finished work yet?”

“I’m going to the second floor to see a patient.” She must have finished work already, otherwise she wouldn’t be going to see a patient in another department on her own.

“The girl?”

Senior Cao seemed to also know about what she had done that day. Xie Wanying hesitated before answering, “Yes.”

“I’ll accompany you downstairs to have a look,” Cao Yong offered, reaching out to guide her toward the staff elevator, which would be quicker.

There was no reason a junior sister wanted to do a good deed and a senior brother couldn’t, right?

Xie Wanying got the underlying message in Senior Cao’s words and couldn’t help but smile.

They arrived at Cardiology. It was said to be the top department among the hospital’s internal medicine sections, a large department with many beds, around seventy or so.

At closing time, the Cardiology ward was much quieter, like the other departments.

Xie Wanying checked her messages; Wu Lixuan had sent a message saying she was at bed 32.

She and Senior Cao arrived together at the doorway of bed 32’s room.

Inside, a group of doctors was surrounding the patient for an examination.

Wu Lixuan, not wearing her white coat, was particularly noticeable among the crowd of doctors.

To Xie Wanying’s surprise, the person standing opposite her childhood friend was Yin Fengchun.

Yin Fengchun, who had come to consult for the young girl, tapped the patient’s lower back with his knuckles. The patient winced and groaned, indicating there was a problem with the kidneys. He turned to ask Doctor Zhuang, “Is there blood in the urine?”

“That’s why we called you guys down for the consult, because of the blood in the urine,” answered Doctor Zhuang.

“It could be kidney stones; let’s get her an ultrasound.”

“She’s short of breath and has been medicated; she can’t go elsewhere for tests at the moment. But she says her abdominal pain is severe. See if there’s anything you can do for her in advance. Once her condition stabilizes, we can get the ultrasound done,” Doctor Zhuang conveyed the consultation request.

“Can’t she drink more water?”

“Right, we’re strictly controlling the IV fluids; she can’t drink more water. She has heart failure; she shouldn’t be moving around.”

After some thought, Yin Fengchun said, “If the pain is severe and affecting her heart function, then the quickest solution is to give her pethidine. If the pain is bearable, she can take antispasmodic drugs, like two Tolvaptan tablets at a time. As for Scopolamine injections, we’ll have to see if there is any conflict with the medications you’re currently administering in Cardiology.”

Hearing this, Doctor Zhuang mulled over how to prescribe the pain medication.

Yin Fengchun pulled a pen from his upper pocket and began to write consultation notes on the medical charter, glancing up at the person opposite him while writing.

Wu Lixuan took a pack of tissues from her handbag, folded one neatly, and wiped the sweat from the girl’s face. The ward nurses were very busy; one had to take care of many patients and couldn’t spare the time to wipe a girl’s face.

Ma Yunli, with an oxygen tube on, looked at this unfamiliar sister and thought she was as kind as the doctor who had found her in the emergency room.

“My name is Wu, and you can call me Sister Wu,” Wu Lixuan said to the little girl, “In a couple of days, I’ll bring some other kindhearted people to see you, and I hope we can help you get rid of this illness. Once you’re better, you can go back to school and make sure to study hard.”
