Chapter 1884: Speaking Up for Seniors

Listening to her reasons was genuinely refreshing. Doctor Guo made a sound of realization.

Yue Wentong, listening from the side, couldn’t help but smile: The female top student in their class always had her logic firmly in place.

It’s evident whether a doctor has excellent abilities from observing medical students.

Opposite them, Fu Xinheng, after listening for a while, put away his stethoscope and asked Doctor Guo, "Did the patient take any medication on the way to the hospital?"

As expected of a heart specialist, he could deduce so much merely from listening to a heartbeat. Doctor Guo nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Teacher Fu. They said they consulted with Doctor Lin from our hospital’s cardiology department, and before leaving, they gave the patient half a tablet of Metoprolol. Before arriving, the patient’s heart rate was relatively fast, and they were afraid of issues on the plane or on the way. Do you have any suggestions, Teacher? Should we administer a cardiovascular drug to the patient?"

"Not for now. Blood pressure needs to be measured, as does heart rate. Tomorrow, we’ll conduct an ECG and other relevant heart examinations," Fu Xinheng said. "Tonight, let the patient rest well. Is the white blood cell count high in the blood routine?"

"Yes, both white blood cells and neutrophils are elevated. We inquired with the family, and the medical records they brought indicate that the previous hospital had administered antibiotics intermittently over the past two months," Doctor Guo reviewed the patient’s medical records and answered one by one.

"There might be antibiotic resistance. Do a blood culture tomorrow to find a suitable antibiotic. Watch the temperature tonight, and opt for physical cooling as a first choice. If the temperature rises, contact your Teacher Chang." In the end, Fu Xinheng handed the baton back to his old colleague from orthopedics, trusting his ability.

Chang Jiawei took back the stethoscope in his hand and said to Doctor Guo, "Call if needed. If you can handle it yourself, don’t call me."

Doctor Guo felt a slight shiver down his scalp.

After all, being an on-call resident, if he can’t handle a slight fever in a patient, he’ll get scolded later.

The others seemed to be waiting for Chang Jiawei to perform a neurosurgical orthopedic examination on the patient. Disappointing everyone, after putting the stethoscope back in his white coat pocket, Chang Jiawei swaggered out of the ward.

Seeing this, Yue Wentong frowned and muttered: Does this guy indeed have any intention to seriously treat the patient?

Catching the skeptical tone from the class leader, Xie Wanying tried to clarify the senior’s actions: "The orthopedic issue isn’t urgent; it needs to be prioritized after cardiovascular concerns. The patient’s cardiopulmonary functional issues need to be stabilized first."

Are you deliberately speaking for the playboy? Yue Wentong wondered if her words were making excuses for someone.

No, her initial recommendation to Student Geng was the same: stabilize cardiopulmonary function before addressing other issues. A doctor’s consideration in medical matters is not solely about their specialty but to first focus on the patient’s life center. Therefore, regardless of the specialty, a doctor will inevitably prioritize the patient’s cardiopulmonary issues.

Walking in front, Chang Jiawei heard her words, and the curve of his lips revealed a hint of satisfaction.

Doctors love being appreciated and respected for their skills, as does he. Now a girl supporting him from a professional standpoint and clearing his name from negligence accusations made him genuinely happy. As he turned to speak with her, he saw her already turning a corner into the office.

Singly focused, only attentive to her work and tasks. Xie Wanying and her companions hurriedly relayed the ward doctor’s words to Teacher Ren.

Ren Chongda, hands on hips, listened to their report, then glanced at Student Geng, who was still angry over matters concerning his father and stepmother, and said to them, "You all can head back. I’ll stay with Xiao Zhe tonight."

"Thank you for your hard work, counselor," Xie Wanying and her companions said gratefully.

"What hard work?" Ren Chongda glared at the two of them, "Go back and sleep, and don’t come back to create more mess without my orders."
