"Definitely not my colleagues." Zuo Cidian bit down on it as if he was eating a popsicle. He said, "Unless it's a special situation, you must get a signature from your family before you undergo surgery. This is also a form of protection for you."
"Then, I'll make a call …" The patient operated with one hand and dialed the number with difficulty.
Zuo Cidian and the others did not think much of it. After working in the Emergency Department for a long time, many patients who needed surgery did not know that they had to bring their family members along.
The patient with shoulder injury held the phone, but his voice became louder and louder. "I'm in so much pain, can't you just take a day off and come over?"
"Won't I have to pay for taking leave? Wasn't it just a fall? I told you to take care of your shoulder a long time ago, but you didn't care … "The woman on the phone grumbled for a while before she asked," Which hospital and which department? "
"Yun Hua Hospital's Emergency Department." The patient with shoulder injury said a few more words and hung up the phone. He was in so much pain that he was sweating.
"Hurry up and go for a check-up." Zuo Cidian gestured for the medical interns to bring the patient over.
The Emergency Medical Center was extremely rich now. They bought X-ray machines, CT machines, and even MRI machines. There were also people who could read scans.
When Zuo Cidian saw that he might have to cut him up, he even asked the intern to arrange a wheelchair for him and pushed him all the way to the checkup.
It was a trick they had learned from Cleveland. A nurse with a monthly salary of a few thousand dollars could get a bill of more than a thousand dollars for pushing an injured patient for a few hours. It could be said to be extremely cost-effective.
Only the VIP patient building in Yun Hua Hospital could do this, and the fees could not be too high. Hence, the wheelchairs in the Emergency Department were allocated according to need, and it was only natural that they could not be allocated.
The patient with shoulder injury did not have a family member accompanying him, but a nurse accompanied him to take an X-ray. For a moment, he actually felt better. It was as if the pain was not as strong, his body was not as weak, and his breathing was not as intense. Occasionally, he would jolt and change his position, and he even felt slightly refreshed.
Soon, the CT scans, X-ray scans, and the report were sent to Zuo Cidian along with the patient.
"Your glenoid joint can no longer function. Haven't you seen a doctor before?" Zuo Cidian glanced at the report and recalled the information he had read. He had a rough idea of the situation.
"I've seen him a few times. He said it's a chronic disorder caused by multiple injuries. Something like that. "
"They didn't ask you to perform surgery?"
"Yes … I've asked around, and I think it's best not to have surgery if it's not necessary."
"You're in a much more serious condition this time." Zuo Cidian frowned and said. He then dialed Ling Ran's number.
In the past, the Emergency Department did not perform this kind of pure shoulder surgery. Aside from Ling Ran, the other doctors in the Emergency Department did not have any experience in this type of surgery.
In the past, when the Emergency Department encountered a patient with a shoulder injury, the first thing they would do was to stop the bleeding, administer fluid transfusion, reduce inflammation, and take an X-ray. At the same time, they would also call for a doctor from the Orthopedics Department for consultation.
This time, it was Ling Ran.
After he called Ling Ran, Zuo Cidian urged the patient again. "Is his family not here yet? Surgery is a very serious matter … "
"He should be here soon." The patient actually looked very uncertain. When Zuo Cidian saw this, he could only shake his head and say nothing.
He had been a doctor for a long time, and he had seen all kinds of families. He even lost his curiosity a little.
Not long after, Ling Ran came down wearing a brand new white coat.
Unlike the white coats that interns always wore that were wrinkled and dirty, Ling Ran's wardrobe was filled with brand new white coats all year round.
Every time Ling Ran was in a bad mood, he would change into a new white coat without any wrinkles. When he walked, it would make a soft rustling sound, and it gave people an extremely comfortable feeling.
The patient with shoulder injury also looked at Ling Ran with a grimace.
"Hang up all the scans." Zuo Cidian had already instructed the young doctors to hang up all kinds of scans. However, since Ling Ran was here, he naturally had to show off.
Ling Ran nodded at everyone and then went to look at the scans on his own.
His foundation in diagnosis was pretty good, but he was still the most outstanding when it came to looking at scans, especially when it came to orthopedic diseases. Looking at scans was also the most direct way.
Ling Ran did not look at scans very quickly.
He had now become very good at allocating time. For example, when he looked at scans, Ling Ran would also mix in a lot of thinking. Because he was interested, the surgery was his, and Ling Ran did not need to report it to others. He only needed to simulate it in his mind and consider the value of the surgery.
"It's just in the good zone for Latarjet surgery." After Ling Ran finished looking at the scans, he directly asked the patient, "You must have the surgery. Do you want to do it in Yun Hua Hospital?"
This sentence made the patient have many questions. The patient only had time to say, "Can I still choose to have the surgery outside of Yun Hua Hospital?"
"Of course." Ling Ran answered very smoothly. He then said, "Although your shoulder injury is quite serious, it's still an elective surgery. It shouldn't be a problem if it's one or two days later."
At this time, Zuo Cidian said sinisterly from behind, "Nowadays, large hospitals are very short of hospital beds. I suggest that you contact them in advance."
It was only then that the patient realized something.
Forget about Yun Hua Hospital, all tertiary Grade A hospitals in Yun Hua City had a shortage of hospital beds. He might be able to get a hospital bed today, but it did not mean that he would still be able to get a hospital bed after he left Yun Hua Hospital.
"Then … I'll discuss it with my family." The patient looked around and said, "It's not convenient for my family to ask for leave, so they might come a little later."
"How about this, I'll draw a few diagrams for you." Ling Ran extended his hand and asked for a stack of paper and a pencil. Then, he quickly drew a diagram of the structure of the shoulder in front of the patient.
The Perfect Level Sketch appeared in front of the patient as if it was a copy.
"Your shoulder joint has a bone defect due to repeated dislocation, and it's mainly here …
"When the width of the defect is less than 15%, we usually don't deal with it. But when the width is more than 30%, which is your current condition, the only choice is surgery.
"Our surgical procedure is also relatively simple."
Ling Ran used five minutes to draw three pictures. All of them were the simplest sketches, but they were concise and to the point, and the patient could understand them at first glance.
The patient looked at Ling Ran's drawings with both understanding and puzzlement. It seemed that his mind was starting to become unstable.
"Old Jia." A voice called out to him from afar. It was only after a nurse stopped him that he called.
"Over here." The patient quickly stood up from the wheelchair and smiled helplessly at the doctors. "My wife. She's a little fierce. "
"Alright, you still have a wife," Zuo Cidian praised him, and many doctors nodded in agreement.
Patient Jia still could only smile bitterly. He showed the three drawings to his wife, who was walking over quickly, and said, "My shoulder hurts a lot. They said that I have to go for surgery …"
"Did you ask for leave from your leader?" His wife glanced at the drawings and immediately asked, "You fell down on your way to work. It's considered a work injury, right?"
