The captain politely escorted Zheng Ren and his team out of the traffic police station.
The Provincial Department's involvement was definitely not due to a rear-end collision. It must be related to a criminal case.
Old Chief Physician Pan knew that his worries were unnecessary.
Zhou Bai's act of blocking an ambulance was truly despicable. However, there were many such incidents in the country every year, and most of them were just glossed over.
As for this time …
Old Chief Physician Pan did not want to say anything else. He told Zheng Ren to focus on his work and drove home to understand the situation.
Ding Zhongtai had been in a daze ever since Lawyer Ge's betrayal.
He had paid enough attention to Zheng Ren, but now it seemed that it was not enough.
Chief Ding carefully reflected on his attitude when he spoke to Zheng Ren in the emergency ward. It was not warm enough, not like a spring breeze, and a little impatient. Fortunately, he did not jump out to criticize Zheng Ren.
It should be fine. It should be fine.
Chief Ding absent-mindedly drove Zheng Ren back to the emergency building.
He invited Zheng Ren for a meal but was unsurprisingly rejected. Zheng Ren said he still had to do ward rounds to check on the postoperative patients.
He could not refuse such an excuse. Ding Zhongtai had no choice but to leave Zheng Ren and report the details of the incident to Director Xiao.
…
Zheng Ren did not rush to the ward after getting out of the car. He took a few breaths of the cold, dry air and felt refreshed.
'Crowded places are really annoying,' Zheng Ren thought to himself.
He was energized when he returned to the hospital.
Zheng Ren went to the emergency department first. The messy environment made him feel at ease.
There were fewer surgical patients and more internal medicine patients, especially those with gastroenteritis and influenza.
There was not much snow in the northeast this winter. Most of the snow had fallen in the south.
Therefore, influenza was rampant, once infected with influenza virus. Once infected, it would have a slight fever on the first day and a fever of around 40 the next day. It was frightening.
Outpatient drips were already lined up in the corridor. Community treatment for common colds and fever was acceptable. If they encountered such a situation, they would all be pushed to Class Three Grade A hospitals.
The nurses' legs were about to break from running. They were busy with drips and dressing.
After walking for a while, he turned a corner and heard arguments in the corridor. Zheng Ren frowned. What was going on?
When he arrived at the emergency internal medicine department, he saw a few angry family members arguing with the emergency physician.
The security guard was trying to mediate when Zheng Ren saw Fan Tianshui standing in the corridor. He seemed stronger.
Fan Tianshui and Zheng Ren looked at each other and smiled. Zheng Ren walked into the emergency department.
The doctor from the emergency internal medicine department looked as if he had seen his savior. "Chief Zheng, I was about to call you."
"What's wrong?" Zheng Ren asked.
Several family members glared at Zheng Ren, unconvinced.
"The patient is a 52-year-old female. She came to our hospital this morning because of pain around the umbilicus, nausea, and vomiting," said the doctor from the emergency internal medicine department. "There is no clear history of trauma or other major illnesses. On physical examination, the abdomen was flat and soft. There was slight tenderness around the umbilicus. There was no rebound pain or muscle tension in the abdomen. The results of the blood collection showed a slight increase in white blood cells. "
Zheng Ren studied the patient while listening to the emergency physician's report.
The patient was relatively fat. He sat on the consultation bed, clutching his stomach with a pained expression.
"At that time, in order to rule out intestinal obstruction, I suggested that the patient do peritoneal dialysis or abdominal CT scan. The patient said that he would be exposed to radiation during the examination and refused all imaging examinations. At that time, the diagnosis was gastroenteritis, and there was a question mark. "The physician was very helpless.
"It's not a serious illness, but you insisted on doing a CT scan. Isn't this a random examination?! CT has radiation, don't you know? Who's to blame if she has cancer? "one of the family members shouted.
Zheng Ren actually did not understand the mentality of these family members.
The patient was already so sick, yet they still had the mood to talk about random examinations. It was really helpless. It was the same for the patient. Ordinary people would have to do a few radiation examinations every year, and it would not cause physical damage.
If there really was a problem, doctors who performed interventional surgery would probably have disappeared a long time ago.
"Calm down, treat the illness first. We can talk about other things later," Zheng Ren advised.
"Who are you?" The patient's family looked at Zheng Ren with narrowed eyes.
"The patient was diagnosed with intestinal obstruction due to intussusception. There are no signs of intestinal necrosis yet. Emergency surgery is needed to correct the state of the intussusception. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid that a section of the intestine will be removed, "Zheng Ren said.
The emergency physician was also shocked. Looking at Zheng Ren's serious expression, he thought that Chief Zheng's acting talent had been completely unearthed.
There was no need to be so serious to scare the patient's family.
Hearing Zheng Ren's words, the patient's family was also shocked.
Zheng Ren came to the physician's side and asked softly, "When you came to see the doctor this morning, did you sign for refusing the examination?"
It was normal procedure to sign for refusing the examination. If there was a problem, it would be easy to explain.
Doctors who dealt with all kinds of emergency patients in the emergency department all year round would naturally not violate this procedure. Otherwise, not only would their shoes be wet, but their bodies would also be wet.
"I signed it," the physician said confidently. "If you refuse the abdominal CT and upright peritoneal dialysis, you will be responsible for all the consequences. The patient signed it himself. I just locked the signature in the cabinet. "
"Do an abdominal CT. I'll take the patient for a checkup." Zheng Ren was relieved. As long as there were no mistakes in diagnosis and treatment, everything else would be discussed after the surgery.
Listening to the conversation between Zheng Ren and the physician, the patient's family's anger gradually subsided.
Under normal circumstances, random examinations would not happen in large Class Three Grade A hospitals. There were many examinations because there were especially many patients receiving treatment, and rare diseases had also become not rare.
Especially in this era, the conflict between doctors and patients had become more acute under the provocation of some people. If they were not careful, they would soon be sued.
The physician quickly wrote an abdominal CT examination form. Zheng Ren took it and handed it to the patient's family, saying, "Pay up and go to the CT room for a CT scan. I'll go take a look at the radiographic films after I change."
"Doctor, are you alright?" The patient's family's attitude obviously softened.
"I told you, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, and surgery is needed. In other words, the intestine is ischemic and necrotic. If we don't do the surgery soon, it will rot, "Zheng Ren said seriously." Do you think I'm joking? "
The physician was also stunned. Was Chief Zheng joking? Could it be true?
In an instant, the physician broke out in a sweat.
Acute intussusception, intestinal obstruction, and as time went on, intestinal necrosis would occur.
In that case, a minor illness would also become a serious one.
The patient's family could not care less about the noise and took the form alone to pay the money. The others helped the patient onto the stretcher trolley and pushed him all the way to the CT room.
"Chief Zheng, is it true?" The physician thought that this was Zheng Ren's way of solving the problem. After all, the patient's symptoms … did not seem to be.
"It's true. Did you ask the patient what he ate yesterday? "Zheng Ren asked.
"Uh …" The physician was stunned.
