Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 345 - 325: Stabilizing the Condition

The next day.

Half past eight in the morning.

Zhao Heng arrived at the hospital early. Last night’s late-night snack was truly an unexpected event. Zhao Heng and the old man Luo Ji had a great conversation and had already arranged their next meeting.

Next time, the two of them will meet at Luo Ji’s studio, where the old man will teach Zhao Heng how to shoot videos.

Just like that, Zhao Heng unexpectedly gained a bizarre friendship across generations.

In the office, the morning meeting was ongoing, with Wang Tao, who was on night duty, handing over to Zhao Heng, Li Yang, and Liu Meng.

The division of labor in the ward was very clear; Wang Tao, Li Yang, and Liu Meng were responsible for the night shift, another person for the day shift in the ward, and another for admitting transferred patients.

As for Zhao Heng, he could finally free up some time now.

The anesthetic assistant database and the development of the nanomaterial siRNA micelles, all these required a considerable amount of time.

Now, there were experienced clinical doctors to share his workload, and in the future, he only needed to step in if Liu Meng and Li Yang couldn’t handle or judge the patients.

The reason for transferring doctors from the emergency department before was precisely to share his clinical tasks.

However, Zhao Heng did not plan to expand the ward further, and in the future, when things got busy, he would just transfer two more doctors and nurses over.

"Let’s start the handover, Dr. Wang, why don’t you start by discussing the situation during the night shift."

Zhao Heng sat at the head of the office table, glanced at Wang Tao, the others, and nurse Tian Zhen, and slowly spoke.

During his internship in hospital departments in the past, every time there was a department handover meeting, Zhao Heng would stand behind his mentoring teacher and listen through the entire process. Sitting at the head today, presiding over the handover as a leader, this shift in identity felt very different.

Others would have to work hard for at least ten or even twenty years to achieve such a position.

"The night shift was generally stable. However, Ma Xiaochen’s headache and nausea symptoms are quite apparent, though they’ve already been controlled with medication."

Wang Tao spoke slowly.

Once Wang Tao spoke, everyone present had a somewhat grim expression.

The symptoms of a brain tumor are related to factors such as the malignancy of the tumor, the patient’s age, location, growth rate, etc. The most common symptoms include increased intracranial pressure, neurological dysfunction, and seizures.

Patients may experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, seizures, psychiatric symptoms, language barriers, movement disorders, sensory abnormalities, vision loss, visual field defects, personality changes, memory decline, and more.

So, once a patient exhibits symptoms like headaches and nausea, it signifies a rapid progression of the tumor, and the condition is far from optimistic.

"The preparation of carbon nanotubes and drug loading, at the current pace, will take at least three more days. During these three days, we must stabilize Ma Xiaochen’s condition. After the rounds, ask Director Liu from neurosurgery to come over for a discussion to finalize the treatment plan."

Zhao Heng instructed Liu Meng, Li Yang, and Wang Tao.

Liu Ziang is a big name in neurosurgery. Truth be told, the neurosurgical treatment experience that Zhao Heng possesses all comes from Liu Ziang.

This is akin to the difference between authentic and pirated versions, and although Zhao Heng has already mastered ninety-nine percent of Liu Ziang’s experience, the remaining one percent is personal inspiration and talent.

"Understood."

Liu Meng and Li Yang nodded. Ever since they joined the ward, compared to their previous life in emergency care, the work in the ward is much less demanding, and by following Zhao Heng, the patients they encounter are mostly complex cases, which greatly benefits their improvement.

This is the benefit of following the right person. Even though being a doctor is a highly technical job, with an experienced superior, the improvement can be rapid.

Although Zhao Heng is still young, technically, he is already on par with those department heads in other specialties.

In terms of professional and knowledgeable breadth, Zhao Heng is even stronger than those department heads.

"Ma Xiaochen’s case is rather special, I suppose you’re aware of who his parents are. Although, as doctors, we should treat all patients and their families equally, practically, you should still pay a bit more attention. If you cannot be entirely certain, refrain from making statements."

Zhao Heng advised both of them again.

Even though Ma Jianteng and Liu Qing were very courteous to Zhao Heng when they came yesterday, Zhao Heng was aware that this politeness was only because he was the attending physician for their child.

In this society, wealth can bring an individual so many things.

Upon hearing Zhao Heng’s words, Liu Meng and Li Yang nodded once more. Although Zhao Heng is younger than them, he is quite mature in terms of interactions. They were worried that Zhao Heng, due to his youth, might be a bit idealistic in handling certain matters.

Soon, the morning meeting ended. After the meeting, Zhao Heng took the three doctors to the ward for rounds.

Arriving at Ma Xiaochen’s bedside, Zhao Heng saw Ma Xiaochen looking pale and not in very good spirits.

This was quite normal, as brain tumors, being malignant, consume the body significantly.

Moreover, as a tumor in the brain, it causes headaches and vomiting, making eating and digestion difficult for patients in the late stages of brain tumors.
