Capítulo 1821: Chapter 1821: Major Problem

With no other choice, Doctor Liu forced himself to step forward and ask about the patient’s medical history: “What’s her condition? At which hospital did she have her prenatal check-up and registration?”

When a pregnant woman shows signs of miscarriage, doctors do not dare to perform gynecological examinations casually and can only ask the patient and others first.

Little Sister Luo had an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, so how could she have had prenatal check-ups and registration at any hospital? She probably hadn’t even completed a full set of check-ups.

Xie Wanying stepped up and said to the teacher at this hospital: “Do an ultrasound, it might be low-lying placenta, possibly placenta previa, or placental abruption.”

Doctor Liu thought she was a family member of the patient describing past conditions, didn’t think much, hurriedly issued an ultrasound order for the patient, and mumbled: “If it’s these big issues, our small hospital can’t handle it, we’ll need to transfer her to a big hospital.”

Transferring to a big hospital requires first contacting doctors at the big hospital. Here, Doctor Liu reminded their family: “Contact renowned maternity hospitals like Guoxie, or Beidou Third Hospital.”

Not all major hospitals excel in obstetrics and gynecology. Hospitals like Xuanwu, Fang Ze, Beidu First, etc., their main specialties are not obstetrics and gynecology. Placenta previa isn’t a minor issue; it’s a very serious complication in the later stages of pregnancy. Ordinary hospitals and doctors simply do not have the technical ability to handle it well. Hearing these words from the doctor, Brother Luo nervously asked: “What if we can’t find a hospital to transfer to?”

Finding a major hospital to transfer his sister? They’re migrant workers in the Capital, where do they have such resources?

“Can’t find a major hospital to transfer?” Doctor Liu wasn’t afraid to tell him the worst result, “We won’t be able to save the fetus here. If the bleeding is too severe, she might need to go into the operating room.”

Going into the operating room, firstly, it might not be possible to save the patient’s uterus, secondly, it might not be possible to save the patient’s life. As for the fetus, that’s even more doubtful.

Brother Luo said: “In that case, you help my sister transfer hospitals.”

“Which hospital to transfer to requires your family to contact. Our ambulance can help transport the patient over,” Doctor Liu told him according to the standard transfer procedure.

“What if we can’t contact them ourselves?”

This? Doctor Liu’s eyes widened more than Brother Luo’s: this basically means there’s no way, probably just waiting for death.

Seeing that Doctor Liu couldn’t answer, Brother Luo suddenly thought of something, enraged, and cursed at Doctor Liu: “None of you doctors are any good, all are bastards.”

The scolded Doctor Liu couldn’t hold his temper like Student Xie, and felt wronged, and started arguing back with the family: “Why are you cursing me? I’m telling you to contact other hospitals, aren’t I? I’ve said it, without prior contact, the other side won’t accept patients, how is this my problem?”

“Aren’t you supposed to help with the contact?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to help make the contact, I have no way to help you contact them. You, as family members, should be anxious about your family’s situation and make contact on their behalf,” said Doctor Liu.

It can only be said that Doctor Liu himself didn’t have the resources of knowing acquaintances among big hospital doctors, capable of making a call to transfer the patient. This point, families of patients often find difficult to understand, why transferring hospitals is so hard and why there’s a need to pre-arrange the contact.

Actually, what Doctor Liu said was very clear and understandable, without prior arrangements, the other hospital would refuse to accept and instruct the patient to transfer again, and the patient would end up stuck in the ambulance, unable to disembark, wandering between hospitals until ultimately dying on the road.
