"Abdominal crush injury. Is there anyone else from the General Surgery Department?"
"Let's get someone from the Cardiology Department to take a look. Hurry up."
"Lung infection. Let's transfer him to the Respiratory Medicine Department."
As the sun rose, not only was there sunlight, but there were also more emergency patients and patients with relapses.
Not only did the emergency room not become less busy, but it also became busier.
The overall prognosis of the patients who received emergency treatment was not as good as those who received elective surgery. Patients who entered the hospital twice for elective surgery were unavoidable, so it was even more so for emergency patients.
After a busy night, Huo Congjun and the leaders of the treatment groups made ward rounds, and the first thing they did was to collect patients who had abnormal signs. Those who did not pee, whose urine was not clear enough, did not fart, and had difficulty breathing … were either transferred to other departments, prescribed medicine, or reoperated on according to the needs.
Including the patients with minor injuries, there were more than a hundred patients. For the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital, which only had more than thirty doctors, it was a huge pressure.
Especially the doctors who had been on night shifts, they could not rest even when the sun rose, and they were in great pain.
Zuo Cidian's condition was even worse.
He was already forty-two years old. What were other people doing when they were forty-two years old? Zuo Cidian did not know, but he was sure that there were not many people who still stayed up at forty-two years old.
In the hospital, forty-two years old doctors were senior attending physicians or associate chief physicians, and they were basically second-string or third-string doctors in the hospital. Under normal circumstances, second-string doctors who were not in the Emergency Department would only sleep in the hospital when they were on night shift. Second-string doctors in the Emergency Department were not busy every day.
However, it was miserable for a forty-two-year-old resident doctor.
Over the past month, Zuo Cidian had stayed up for many days. Today, he stayed up all night. When he peed, his urine was so yellow that he did not dare to look carefully.
However, no matter how difficult the path he chose was, he had to continue on.
If Zuo Cidian wanted to relax, he could have gone to the Medical Laboratory Department. As a department that specialized in nepotism, the Medical Laboratory Department could at least go to work normally, and they did not need to deal with patients and their families directly. It was considered a good place for health in the hospital.
However, Zuo Cidian was not satisfied with that.
He was only forty-two years old!
A forty-two-year-old man could still start over and fight again.
Zuo Cidian forced his eyes open as he debrided the wound of a patient who fell while riding an electric scooter. He took a big gulp of strong tea before he became a little more energetic. The doctor gave him a reminder, "Don't let the wound come in contact with water. Just come and change the dressing the next day …"
Compared to the casualties caused by the collapse of the construction site, the casualties that appeared almost every one or two days were really common.
The patient's head was wrapped in a white cloth and he asked, "Can I change my dressing at the clinic near my house?"
"Sure, I'll give you a prescription. You can collect it from the first floor and go to the clinic to change your dressing," Zuo Cidian said as he operated on the computer.
"Can you give me a list and I'll go out and buy it myself?"
Zuo Cidian shuddered and came back to his senses. This patient was not ordinary, and he could not let his guard down.
"According to the rules of the hospital, I can't give you the list directly," Zuo Cidian said.
"The medicine in your hospital is more expensive than the medicine in the pharmacy. That must be the rule."
Zuo Cidian smiled apologetically. "It's the hospital's rules. I can't do anything about it. Now that there's a medical reform, the prices are actually about the same. "
"That's more or less the case. My one day's salary has been taken by you. Forget it, you can give me the list. It's not easy for ordinary people to earn a lot of money. The hospitals nowadays are too greedy. "The more the patient spoke, the louder his voice became.
Zuo Cidian was not happy, but he kept reminding himself not to be impulsive.
He felt like he was drunk right now, and he had to be constantly vigilant so that he would not say anything wrong.
Zuo Cidian was not like those doctors in their thirties who impulsively thought that they were great. There were many great people among the patients. Besides, even if they were not that great in society, as long as they were good at making trouble, they were not people that he, a lowly resident doctor, could handle.
After he sent the patient away with a smile, Zuo Cidian turned around and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He washed away his fatigue and awkwardness. When he came out again, he huddled in front of the reception door and waited for an opportunity with the other young people.
It was just like twenty years ago when he had just arrived at the unit.
The only difference was that he had become older, uglier, and less energetic.
The good thing was that he was thick-skinned enough, and he did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed just because he was surrounded by young resident doctors.
The only thing he envied was that the young people were full of vigor.
The people here were all resident doctors and young attending physicians who could not get to perform surgeries in other departments.
Whenever the Emergency Department was too busy, the senior doctors could only choose the complicated and fatal cases to handle, and they had to release the small cases that they would not usually release.
For young doctors, if there was a first time, there would be a second time. Therefore, this kind of opportunity to fight for the first time was indeed a golden moment.
"The ambulance team will arrive in fifteen minutes." The young nurse at the consultation desk reminded loudly, and it immediately made Zuo Cidian, who was a little drowsy, wake up.
The collapsed construction site was still being excavated, and rescue was being carried out.
After a night of hard work, the patients who were sent over now were definitely in very complicated conditions.
Zuo Cidian immediately rushed to the consultation desk and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"
"There are no small cases in this batch. The three patients are all Level 1 Critically Ill," the nurse said in a low voice, "They were dug out from the ground, and all of them are in a state of shock."
The implication was that there was no room for Zuo Cidian to perform.
Zuo Cidian shook his head. "I'm asking for Doctor Ling."
The nurse's eyes lit up, but she immediately said in a slightly troubled manner, "But … there's no liver damage."
"Let me see the records," Zuo Cidian said in a low voice.
The nurse raised her head to look ahead and said in a low voice, "Go behind the consultation desk and take a look."
Zuo Cidian quickly went around the back and lowered his head to look at the few entries that the nurse took down in shorthand.
These were all recorded during the phone call, and they were not supposed to be shown to anyone. Zuo Cidian could only see them because of Ling Ran's name.
"Pain in the right upper abdomen, internal bleeding … This is it!" Zuo Cidian pointed at the second record and immediately said, "Can you think of a way to arrange this patient to our group?"
"Um … Department Director Huo said that all acute and serious cases can only be arranged to doctors who are associate chief physicians and above." The nurse blinked and said in a low voice, "Patients who are Level 1 Critically Ill are very dangerous."
Zuo Cidian hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, how can we add Doctor Ling to this group? Doctor Ling really wants to perform this kind of surgery. "
"Department Director Huo has the final say in the grouping, but when this patient arrives, I can inform Doctor Ling."
"Alright." Zuo Cidian thought, 'If there's really no other way, I'll just let Ling Ran go to the operating theater on his own. Now, I can just get a position as an assistant. With Ling Ran's level, there's no reason why I can't get it.'
