"Hello, I'm Ling Ran, the doctor who performed the surgery on you. I want to check your physical condition and see how you're recovering." Ling Ran stood in front of the bed and shook the patient in bed 1, who was sleeping lightly.
"Oh, Doctor Ling." The patient would never forget Ling Ran once he saw him. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky outside. He asked in surprise, "What time is it now?"
"Five o 'clock," Ling Ran said, "We'll do the ward round a little earlier."
"Ward round at five o 'clock? Isn't that too early? Don't we usually do ward rounds at seven or eight o 'clock? "The patient could not help but complain. His family members were also woken up, and they looked unhappy.
"I want to do a detailed physical examination for all of you," Ling Ran answered seriously with the polite smile he used when he did physical examination.
He was now slightly familiar with his skills in physical examination, and he naturally wanted to use it on his own patients.
Most of the patients who received the M-Tang technique had external injuries, and their family conditions and insurance status were different. Therefore, not everyone had a comprehensive physical examination or had a physical examination every year or even every half a year. Many people only went through the necessary examinations when they entered the hospital because they were in the emergency department, and they were very resistant to further examinations, especially the patients and their family members who were sensitive to fees. They did not even want to do MRI scans, which were necessary for tendon suturing.
The skills Ling Ran mastered in physical examination could not replace imaging or chemical examinations. Those were the other two components of diagnostics, auxiliary examinations and laboratory examinations. However, different skills might point to the same goal. If Ling Ran used the skills of physical examination and found clues of diseases or abnormalities in certain aspects of the patient, he could urge for more detailed imaging or laboratory screening. This was the purpose of ward rounds.
In fact, if it were a leader or a millionaire, even if it was a clear case of appendicitis, they would still go through a full set of examinations and specialist consultations.
It was just that the scarcity of medical resources caused an inevitable imbalance.
Just like now, Ling Ran started ward rounds at five o 'clock in the morning to do physical examinations for more than ten people without delaying the morning surgery. He had to disturb the patients' dreams. If the patients had their own health care specialist medical team, they could choose their own time, and it would not be a problem to push it to after their afternoon nap.
"Please sit up first." Ling Ran stood by the bed and observed the patient.
The nurse pulled up all the curtains around the bed.
"Can I brush my teeth and wash my face?" The patient mumbled as he lifted the quilt.
Ling Ran shook his head gently and said, "I'm not going to do a full-body physical examination. According to your medical records, you've been working at a desk for a long time, and you have chronic gastritis. So, I'm going to focus on your chest and abdomen. I'll also check your head and neck. I'll need about ten minutes. You don't have to brush your teeth or wash your face."
In terms of tone and content, Ling Ran was rather blunt, but it was precisely his blunt medical description that calmed the patient down a lot. However, after he sat up, he said in dissatisfaction, "Why do you have to examine me first? If I'm the last one to be examined, I'll be able to sleep for an extra hour, right?"
The nurse on duty who came along could not take it anymore. She pursed her lips and said, "You only think about waking up at five in the morning. Do you know what time Doctor Ling wakes up? I rushed to the hospital day and night to examine you one by one. I didn't get any overtime pay, and I even had to pay for the taxi fare. After the examination, you can go back to sleep. Doctor Ling still has to continue with the examination, and after the examination, he still has to perform surgery … "
"There's no problem with your head and neck. I'm going to examine your chest and abdomen now. Please take a deep breath." Ling Ran had always been meticulous when he did things. He did not even listen to what the nurse said.
About ten minutes later, Ling Ran finished the examination that he thought was necessary. He nodded and said, "There's no problem with the physical examination. You'll be fine as long as you insist on rehabilitation."
The nurse then pulled the curtains open.
The patient and his family members were a little happy and a little unhappy. They were happy because Ling Ran said that there was no problem, and the reason for their unhappiness was probably the same.
Ling Ran was unmoved. He called the patient in Bed 2 to carry out a physical examination again.
Because it was a selective examination based on the patient's case and medical history, Ling Ran paid extra attention to female patients. He basically only performed auscultation and back percussion, which made some patients feel that it was a pity.
After completing a round of physical examination, even though Ling Ran had a strong body, he still felt tired.
The nurse on duty said with admiration and pity, "Doctor Ling, you're too serious."
"I didn't have the conditions to do a physical examination before, but now that I have the conditions to do it, I should make up for it," Ling Ran deliberately explained.
The nurse on duty thought that Ling Ran was talking about time and energy. She could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She said, "You only rested for a day yesterday, and you came over a few hours earlier today. You'll probably be sleepy when it's time for dinner, and you won't have time to accompany your girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend," Ling Ran answered naturally.
The nurse on duty covered her mouth. She was so excited that she wanted to stomp her feet. Even when Ling Ran left, she did not dare to let go of her hand to say goodbye, in case she could not help but scream and affect her work.
This information was too shocking!
"What's the good news? Would you like to share? " The junior resident doctor, who came to work early, was so ordinary that he did not have much of a presence. He greeted them with a smile, hoping that he could build a good relationship with the nurses.
The nurse on duty put down her hands, shook her clothes, and said, "I'm fine."
The footsteps of the sneakers became faster and faster, filling the corridor with people.
"That's good." The plain and ugly resident doctor waved his hand. He felt that his actions were rather elegant, and his relationship with his colleagues should be improving steadily.
