No workplace, especially a hospital, would employ a person who lacks the wisdom to handle issues and only acts on impulse, even if that person is technically skilled. In the past, even an Emperor of a nation wouldnāt dare act impulsively.
The Boss Teachers in the clinical field each seem to have unique personalities. However, when dealing with conflicts between them and patients, they each demonstrate their superior wisdom, avoiding direct confrontation with patients and their families to prevent leaving any evidence against them. Afterwards, they proceed as necessary.
Now, Student Geng needs to first change his mindset and sort out his feelings.
Geng Yongzhe sits quietly on the chair.
To him, two patients, one his brother and the other his stepmother, are two family members bringing two extreme emotions in simultaneous events on one person. Itās hard for an average personās psyche to sustain such pressure.
Ren Chongda spoke slowly to reassure the student: "Donāt worry, take your time. If itās not perfect, we will negotiate again." Mainly, itās about setting the right mindset and getting his brain to resume thinking.
This requirement might be a bit demanding for university students who have not yet formally entered society. Students who only roam within the campus have yet to be polished and are inexperienced in dealing with varied social conflicts.
No one will urge Student Geng to immediately offer the correct answer.
"Letās go, letās check on the patient." Looking at the watch, seeing itās late, Chang Jiawei took the lead to walk out of the office to the ward to check on the patient. Fu Xinheng followed him out. Doctor Guo picked up the medical record and followed suit.
Geng Yongzhe had yet to sort out his emotions. Ren Chongda stayed with him, signaling to the other two students: "You two go and take a look first."
Following Teacherās instructions, Xie Wanying and Yue Wentong jogged to catch up with the doctors ahead.
The patient had fallen asleep, so the doctors visiting the patient all walked softly into the ward to avoid startling the patient.
Standing at the beside, Chang Jiawei took his stethoscope from the pocket of his white coat and handed it to the student opposite him. In terms of diagnosing heart and lung problems, he, an orthopedist, naturally isnāt as specialized as a cardiologist.
Receiving the stethoscope, Fu Xinheng put on the earpiece, gently placed the diaphragm into the patientās clothes to listen to the heart and lungs. The experienced doctor performed his actions lightly, without disturbing the patient at all.
Meanwhile, as Chang Jiawei observed the patientās slightly flushed complexion, he felt the patientās forehead with his hand and asked Doctor Guo: "What was the temperature on admission?"
Doctor Guo opened the patientās medical record to check the nurseās recorded temperature value, answering: "The patient was already slightly feverish on admission, with a temperature of thirty-seven point eight degrees." This was one of his previous suspicions concerning whether the patient might have tuberculosis, prompting him to consult the senior doctor again: "Should we add a tuberculin test tomorrow?"
Chang Jiawei gave him a stern look for this remark: "I told you to grab an encyclopedia and rule out diseases one by one. Do you need me to find you one?"
Doctorsā technical expertise isnāt meant for unrestrainedly ordering tests. If it were, why would patients need doctors; they might as well test their entire bodies on their own. Any suspicion of disease warranting tests should have solid grounds.
For instance, Student Xie never suspected this patient might have tuberculosis in the first place.
"Yingying, do you think itās tuberculosis?"
Upon Teacher Chang suddenly asking her, Xie Wanying was stunned momentarily before bluntly responding: "No."
The reason is here. To claim this patientās tuberculosis avoids the lungs and directly affects other areas, she does not believe. Because any doctor frequently dealing with sickness knows that illness isnāt foolish. The patientās lungs themselves are weak, and tuberculosis bacteria not taking advantage doesnāt fit the behavior of tuberculosis bacteria. Even if there are rare cases, thereās definitely other contributing factors.
