Chapter 340 -165: The Cause of the Illness is Found, but Treatment is Difficult_3
After a hard battle to diagnose the disease, the senior doctors did not trust it, and the follow-up treatment couldn’t be implemented.
This left Zhou Can extremely unwilling.
The rewards from the Experience Points system were already in place, so his diagnosis was definitely correct.
Unexpectedly, he was stuck at the hurdle of senior doctors.
“Xiao Zhou, newcomers must avoid being overeager for quick success and must stay calm. Every patient in the ICU is critically ill. According to what you said, it might be necessary to use pesticides. All pesticides belong to medications that can have certain impacts on the body. Normal people can tolerate it, even without noticing any symptoms. However, for critically ill patients, even a slight adverse effect can be magnified many times over.”
“You say it’s parasites in the small intestine causing trouble, but you can’t just rely on speculation! There must be scientific diagnostic evidence. Using pesticides on critically ill patients based purely on speculation is highly irresponsible. No doctor could bear the potential adverse consequences.”
Doctor Hu gently chastised him.
All these words made sense.
That’s the reason indeed.
But if everything is done by the book and procedure, it can sometimes be too dogmatic.
Such arbitrary approaches would definitely delay the patient’s treatment.
“Of course, your spirit of daring to explore and diligently research is highly commendable. We’ll talk about the patient in bed 7 tomorrow, as the regular departments in the hospital are now closed and unable to work. Rest early!”
With that, Doctor Hu hung up the phone.
Zhou Can stood there, stunned.
His joy and excitement were doused by a cold splash of water.
Taking a deep breath twice, adjusting his mood, he decided not to turn back until he hit the wall.
He went directly to the duty room in the intensive care ward to find the reticent Dr. Shi.
This required tremendous courage.
Because in the end, things might not work out, and he could meet with disappointment.
People have their dignity, just as trees have their bark.
Being continuously rejected and criticized by senior doctors, no doctor would like to engage in such unappreciated hard work.
Zhou Can was a bit ‘foolish’ in matters of treating patients.
He walked straight to the door of the Intensive Care Medicine Department.
He rang the doorbell.
The door opened quickly.
A nurse stood inside.
She looked rather familiar.
The nurse’s shift in the intensive care ward is 12 hours long. In reality, it often requires working for more than 13 hours. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Zhou Can had finished his shift, but the nurse had not yet changed shifts.
“Dr. Zhou, didn’t you finish your shift? Did you forget something?”
The nurse asked him with a smile.
“I would like to talk to Dr. Shi about some issues with patient in bed 7.”
Zhou Can walked straight in.
“Dr. Shi is right in the duty room, you can go find him after changing into your clothes.”
“Thank you.”
Zhou Can changed into scrubs and walked into the duty room.
Several doctors and nurses were discussing patient treatments and conditions inside. Dr. Shi seemed to be prescribing orders for a patient, ceaselessly operating the computer and occasionally frowning in thought.
Zhou Can entered the duty room without attracting much attention from other medical staff.
“Dr. Shi, may I disturb you for a moment?”
Zhou Can approached Dr. Shi to greet him.
Dr. Shi looked up at him, recognizing him.
“Aren’t you the trainee under Doctor Hu? What do you need?”
His face was expressionless and his tone quite indifferent.
Zhou Can gritted his teeth and braved himself to discuss the condition of the patient in bed 7.
Dr. Shi silently listened, his expression unchanged.
Sitting next to him, a trainee showed a barely noticeable sneer, probably thinking Zhou Can was just making trouble out of nothing.
After hearing Zhou Can’s explanation, Dr. Shi showed little change in expression.
Still with cold eyes and a serious demeanor.
Zhou Can stood there very nervously; if Dr. Shi still did not consider his diagnostic suggestion, he might only wait until the next day to try to convince Doctor Hu.
The diagnosis was made, but treating the patient had become the biggest challenge.
No doctor dared to take this risk.
And indeed, there was no investigative evidence.
Dr. Shi pondered for a moment without saying a word, then continued to work on the computer, resuming the medical orders for the patients.
Zhou Can stood there, appearing very awkward.
Neither leaving nor staying seemed right.
He seemed to be treated as air by Dr. Shi.
After about seven or eight minutes, Dr. Shi finally finished the medical orders.
That waiting time felt like torture to Zhou Can. The other doctors and nurses occasionally casting strange glances made him feel even more discomfort.
It felt like being a clown standing there on display.
“Did you come up with these diagnoses?”
Dr. Shi, apparently not having forgotten him, slightly turned and raised his head to stare into Zhou Can’s eyes.
“Yes!”
Zhou Can could not lie, for the other’s gaze seemed to penetrate into his heart.
If he wasn’t honest, things would be even harder.
Facing the facts was the best approach.
“I could tell they were your own diagnostics. Why involve a non-existent senior doctor? Experienced senior doctors diagnose step by step, each step based on test data or symptoms. Your diagnosis is more like wild thinking, akin to a child’s scribbling.”
Dr. Shi, though silent and reticent, unexpectedly had such keen insight.
Zhou Can’s back broke into a cold sweat.
“However, it is precisely your unconventional approach, breaking away from the rules, that shows me a glimmer of hope. I need to attend to patients now, which will take about half an hour to an hour. If you’d like, you can wait here, and I will discuss the patient in bed 7 with you afterwards.”
Dr. Shi said.
