Chapter 452: Unique Eastern Doctor-Patient Communication Method
Professor Rudolph Wagner immediately became serious and said, “Oliver… No, Xi Bao’er, please be serious! Hurry up and help us record your medical history. The process here is a little different from where we come from. Hurry up and learn.”
Oliver was dumbfounded. A question mark was written all over his young and handsome face.
Zheng Ren felt helpless. One professor was not enough. Now his a.s.sistant had arrived. Would the emergency ward be full of chaos in the future?
Professor Rudolf Wagner was probably going to learn interventional embolization of the prostate. When he learned it, he would then rush back to Germany.
It was far too noisy now.
While they were chatting, the accompanying nurse walked in with a wheelchair.
“Chief Zheng, the scan is done,” the accompanying nurse said.
Zheng Ren quickly took the scan and inserted it into the reading device.
The scan did not require a computer to be looked at. With a glance, even an intern would be able to understand it.
The right side of the chest cavity was white and filled with pleural fluid.
Zheng Ren shook his head. The pneumonia was terrible.
“The condition is very serious. He needs to be hospitalized. Antibiotics and close drainage of the chest cavity. Maybe even a chest puncture to extract the fluid,” Zheng Ren said after seeing the scan.
“You… Why didn’t you tell me this yesterday?” The patient was suffocating. He did not have the energy to educate him about health articles like yesterday.
However, when he said this, Zheng Ren’s heart jumped.
Zheng Ren frowned slightly and said, “I said it clearly yesterday. Have you forgotten?”
As he said this, Zheng Ren took out the hospitalization form from the top pocket of his white coat. On the back of the hospitalization form was the patient’s signature from yesterday, his own signature, and his stamp. The time was accurate to the minute.
“Look, it’s written very clearly here.” Zheng Ren waved the hospital admission form in his hand. The words on the back of the form stared back at him.
The doctor had clearly informed him that he was suffering from right pneumonia and had pleural effusion. He needed to be hospitalized for treatment. However, he refused the doctor’s advice and strongly refused to be hospitalized for treatment, indicating that he would take responsibility for any consequences.
“This is your signature.” Zheng Ren took the hospitalization form and said seriously, “My suggestion now is still that you stay in the hospital for treatment. However, I also can’t force this decision upon you so it’s your choice.”
The patient’s face instantly turned uglier. His lips moved a few times before he said, “I don’t know anything about the medication required. You should have pushed for me to stay at the hospital.”
Zheng Ren was speechless. He looked at the patient silently.
When the patient saw that Zheng Ren was silent, he raised his voice. “Why didn’t you advise me? Why didn’t you stop me? Where is your conscience? And you are a freaking doctor? Saving lives and helping the injured is what you’re paid to do. Do you understand?”
“I advised you to stay in the hospital for treatment.” Zheng Ren shook his head. “Where is the hospitalization form I gave you yesterday? Is it still there? If not, I’ll give you another one.”
“I’m not staying in the hospital!” The patient struggled to raise his arm and pointed at Zheng Ren. “It’s all your fault for delaying treatment!”
Zheng Ren sighed.
“Do you have nothing to say?” The patient pointed at Zheng Ren. His lips were tinged a blueish black. It was extremely difficult for him to breathe, but he still could not contain his anger.
“There are video surveillance cameras here. Every word we say is recorded.” Zheng Ren looked into the patient’s eyes and said, “In your current state, you should stay in the hospital for treatment, not argue with me about your refusal to stay in the hospital yesterday.”
With that said, Zheng Ren folded the hospitalization form and placed it in the pocket of his white coat.
The patient was stunned for a moment before his anger was extinguished.
Many times, surveillance cameras were a good thing. It made the denial of such things cease to exist.
He continued complaining, probably saying things like, “You’ll wait and see”. After that, he moved the wheelchair, wanting to leave.
“Push him to the internal medicine consultation room,” Zheng Ren said to the nurse accompanying him. “Whether or not he wants to be hospitalized is up to him.”
The young nurse accompanying him nodded and pushed the patient out of the emergency ward.
“Professor, where are the police here?” Oliver looked around but did not see any.
He probably understood the conversation between Zheng Ren and the patient and felt uneasy about the whole ordeal.
“This is a unique doctor-patient communication method in the Easy. You don’t have to care about it, Xi Bao’er.” Professor Rudolf Wagner seemed to have gotten used to all of this. “Boss, when are you going to do the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction?”
The professor only cared about this one thing.
Oh, no! The professor was also very concerned about the TIPS surgery. Compared to the new surgery that he had prepared to declare for the n.o.bel Prize, the new TIPS surgery had an advantage. After all, there were more than 200 million hepat.i.tis-B patients on the planet. The n.o.bel Prize judges paid a lot of attention to things like these.
Perhaps the professor cared about all the surgeries that Zheng Ren performed.
Gao Shaojie patted Zheng Ren’s shoulder to comfort him silently.
Gao Shaojie had encountered this kind of situation before plenty of times.
What else could he say?
The professor was a foreigner. He had witnessed how doctors and patients communicated in the East.
“Su Yun, help me enquire about this,” Zheng Ren turned around and said to Su Yun.
“Alright.” Su Yun stopped talking. He knew that Zheng Ren was annoyed at the moment. Su Yun did not expect Zheng Ren to treat him like he did the patient, so he picked up the phone and contacted him.
“Boss, there’s a time slot at noon.” Su Yun quickly put down the phone and reported the good news to Zheng Ren.
Professor Rudolf Wagner raised his fist excitedly and made a healthy pose.
Oliver was stunned.
When did the professor become so approachable?
This really was a magical country.
Doctors were magical, and the communication between doctors and patients was also magical.
“Hurry up and make the preparations then,” Zheng Ren instructed. “Make good use of the time to do the examination and perform the surgery.”
“Chief Zheng, a while ago, the surgery in Imperial City was done by you, right?” Gao Shaojie asked in a low voice.
“Yes, Su Yun and I did it together,” Zheng Ren said.
Gao Shaojie’s heart pounded. He had guessed correctly. It really was the case.
The office then quieted down.
Actually, it was not quiet. At the very least, there were many more people working here than usual.
Chang Yue was a little dissatisfied with this, her face dark.
Su Yun smiled and tried to strike up a conversation. However, Chang Yue chased him away.
“Boss, there are too many people here. Chang Yue’s unhappy,” Su Yun returned to Zheng Ren’s side and said softly.
Zheng Ren nodded. There was nothing he could do. However, there were indeed a lot of people in the office. The only ones who could be chased away…were Gao Shaojie and w.a.n.g Qiang.
“Teacher Gao,” Zheng Ren said.
“Yes, Chief Zheng. What is it?” Gao Shaojie came to Zheng Ren’s side like a junior doctor who was ready to be summoned.
“On your side, if there are patients with indications, try to prepare as much as possible,” Zheng Ren said. “Now that there are 10,000 reasons, why don’t you make one yourself?”
“But I don’t know how to…” Gao Shaojie said, his face immediately turning red.
“It’s not difficult. Just prepare ten surgeries and I’ll go from there. Settle them first in batches of five. If five isn’t enough, then bring ten more. You’ll be able to learn eventually.” Zheng Ren smiled slightly.
Gao Shaojie was touched.
In the medical world, other than the teacher’s pet, most of them had to learn on their own. If you could not understand surgery, did you want your teachers or professors to teach you step by step?
Dream on!
