Zhang Huayao waved his hand, letting all the doctors who followed him disperse to do their own work.
The other doctors unknowingly followed behind him, noticing his uncharacteristic silence after seeing Xiao Shugang. This might mean the patientâs condition is quite tricky, and they all wanted to hear what insights the Boss has.
Zhang Huayao didnât have time to give lectures to the doctors below him. He waved them away, only calling out: "Dr. Shi."
Shilei, who had come to take over the shift, heard this, stepped forward, followed into the directorâs office, and closed the door. Knowing what the leader wanted to ask, Shilei proactively said, "I didnât see this patient last night. Yesterday, I went to the airport to receive another patient; this patientâs medical records were handed directly to Dr. Shim and belong to the internal medicine department."
"Hmm." Zhang Huayao touched the inside of his white coat, seeming to ponder something.
Shilei continued with his observations from the scene, "I feel Dr. Shim is not very confident, otherwise he wouldnât have suggested doing two days of tests first."
If the doctor were confident, the patient could prepare to go directly to the operating room to solve the issue after getting off the plane.
"Director Zhang, why not call Dr. Shim?" Shilei, not fully understanding the patientâs situation, could only suggest this.
"Why call him?" Zhang Huayao lazily replied.
Shilei thought: Exactly, if a call were to be made, it should be Dr. Shim Youhuan calling proactively; thereâs no reason for the leader to initiate the call.
Zhang Huayao wasnât thinking about this. There was nothing wrong with calling Shim Youhuan; after all, they are both doctors, and itâs necessary to call if needed. The problem now is that calling Shim Youhuan is not the key to solving the issue. The key lies with Student Xie.
It was surprising, seeing her cousinâs medical record today. He had thought her cousin came to Guo Zhi Hospital seeking life-saving measures, but found he was here looking for a cure.
This Student Xie is quite interesting. As for a medical student, generally speaking, who dares to dream of getting it done in one step? Saving a life comes first; thatâs the first step for a doctor. Bring the patientâs life back before daring to think about anything else.
As for sequelae, those are too common clinically. Most doctors donât have the technical level to treat patients thoroughly. Even the Boss occasionally has one or two cases go wrong, nothing much to talk about. When sequelae occur, you can only try your best to patch things up. To patch up, you always have to know where the problem is first.
Clinically, thereâs often a need to retrospectively discuss complex cases because doctors are clear-minded. When each case is carefully recalled and thought through, you can always find some issues that werenât perfectly handled in the early stages of treatment. These issues certainly donât count as medical errors; doctors following the treatment guidelines are not breaking the law; it can only be said that the patientâs luck wasnât good enough to meet a doctor lacking the necessary technical skills.
How did Xiao Shugangâs situation occur at the Provincial Peopleâs Hospital?
Shilei, who had previously glanced at Xiao Shugangâs discharge summary from the previous hospital, said, "I guess the first surgery wasnât done well; they didnât discover the heart problem in time to address it together, leading to the current dilemma. The problem is caused by multiple aspects. Before the surgery, there wasnât an accurate evaluation of the patientâs injuries. The CT room needs to shoulder this responsibility together. Perhaps thatâs why Dr. Shim doesnât quite trust the examination results from the other side and feels rechecking needs to be done in our hospital."
Diagnostic errors that mislead clinical judgments often happen, making it impossible to patch things up. Therefore, the waiver clause for the auxiliary department always states: Clinical doctors must make specific judgments in combination with clinical symptoms; examination results can only be used as a reference.
