Chapter 303 -152: Standing Up for a Good Friend, Dr. Ou Arrives Just in Time_2
Life is only going to get a lot harder from here on out.
A good two months of mandated training in neurosurgery, and it’s only been two days.
There’s still a long way to go.
So, Jin Mingxi chose to endure in silence.
“Excuses, nothing but excuses. Would you have said the same if I hadn’t come by?”
The young doctor seemed to harbor an inexplicable rage as he lashed out non-stop at Jin Mingxi.
Zhou Can recalled Jin Mingxi asking for his support yesterday. This young doctor, who was berating so fiercely, must be Jin Mingxi’s superior, Dai Wei.
He had planned to talk to Dr. Ou about it in a few days.
Now, bumping into the situation, Zhou Can certainly wasn’t going to let a good brother get bullied.
Moreover, everyone in the Emergency Department should stick together.
The Emergency Department at Tuya Hospital had nothing else going for it if not for its unity. Especially when facing oppression from the surgeons, it was even more so the case.
“Old Jin, haven’t punched out yet?”
Zhou Can walked in, smiling as he greeted Jin Mingxi.
And he did so deliberately for Dr. Dai Wei to see.
Anyone with a little insight would know what to do.
“Ah, there are still several patients in their beds not yet dealt with, how can I punch out?”
Jin Mingxi bore an expression as if he had swallowed bitterness.
Dr. Dai Wei was really ruthless, dumping a heap of tasks on Jin Mingxi alone. What’s worse was that any slight imperfection was met with immediate and fierce scolding.
Without regard for the occasion, without a shred of mercy.
“Is this patient running a high fever?”
Zhou Can directed his gaze toward the patient in the bed.
“I was going to prescribe a 0.9g drip of Lysine Acetylsalicylate, but I was afraid of causing trouble. You’re here just in time, help me take a look.” Knowing Zhou Can’s capabilities, Jin Mingxi immediately sought his aid.
Dr. Dai Wei had already started sizing up Zhou Can himself.
The number of doctors in neurosurgery was relatively small, just a few dozen, and after working for more than a month, one could essentially recognize all the medical staff in the department.
“Who is this doctor? You seem to be also a trainee newly rotated into neurosurgery, right?”
Before Dr. Dai Wei could say anything, another young doctor, who came over from not far away, zeroed in on Zhou Can first.
“Yes, I’m a trainee who has just rotated to neurosurgery; you have a good memory.”
Zhou Can admitted candidly.
What about being a trainee?
He might just be the most badass trainee in Tuya Hospital, without equal.
“Don’t get chummy with me. You know who this is? He is Resident Doctor Dai Wei, the superior of both me and Dr. Jin. Hah, Dr. Jin is really interesting, not seeking advice from his superiors but asking for help from a trainee instead. Whom are you belittling?”
This trainee looked quite young, with a hawkish nose and a sly, sinister sneer.
Just by listening to him, one could tell he was a real pain in the neck.
“Dr. Chen, I didn’t mean any disrespect to Dr. Dai. It’s just that I feel Dr. Zhou is a friend, and we can discuss it together.”
In front of these two, Jin Mingxi appeared particularly weak and could only quickly explain.
Dr. Dai, however, spoke coldly and decisively, “What is there to discuss about a high fever? You trainees always make a mountain out of a molehill. It’s not a complicated condition. The right thing to do is to immediately administer medication to bring down the fever, not to fiddle with flashy, useless things.”
With that, Dr. Dai directly wrote the medical order.
“The 0.9g drip of Lysine Acetylsalicylate you just mentioned is indeed a method for lowering fever, but it’s not suitable for this patient who has just had surgery. The safest approach would be to use a 0.05g Indomethacin Suppository.”
There are many ways to reduce fever.
The commons ones are just a few.
Zhou Can personally thought that using an Indomethacin Suppository and a Lysine Acetylsalicylate drip should both be feasible.
Of course, he was only speaking about handling typical fever cases.
Dr. Dai’s order was different from the one Jin Mingxi was about to request, seemingly also to assert the authority of a senior doctor in front of everyone and to demonstrate that his diagnostic skills were superior to those of the trainees.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the medicine to use on the patient!”
Dr. Dai ordered Jin Mingxi.
“Right!”
Jin Mingxi ran for the medicine.
Yet there was a slight struggle and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Zhou Can didn’t leave; instead, he carefully observed the patient’s complexion and some subtle symptoms.
Dr. Dai, on the other hand, spoke to the family in a relatively gentle tone, “Postoperative fever is fairly common, you don’t need to worry too much. After medicating, the patient will sweat profusely; you can give him more water to drink to rehydrate.”
Zhou Can’s position was at the foot of the bed; he actually wanted to move to the head of the bed to take a look at the patient’s lab reports and medical records.
To understand the situation a bit more.
But this patient wasn’t from his group.
Dr. Dai’s attitude toward him was clearly not very friendly, and if he were to check the patient’s information, it would be easy for him to be seen as a busybody.
Before long, Jin Mingxi returned with the medicine.
Medically speaking, administering rectal medication is something doctors usually don’t want to do.
It’s usually a case of big fish eating little fish, and little fish eating shrimp, with the seniors passing the task down to the most junior doctors.
“Old Jin, what surgery did this patient undergo?”
Zhou Can casually asked.
“An intraspinal meningioma excision; Director Wu himself performed the surgery.”
A family member actually rushed to respond.
“Director Wu is the strongest surgical doctor in neurosurgery. Such a difficult surgery, most doctors don’t dare to perform,” Zhou Can communicated with the family, knowing what they liked to hear.
The intraspinal meningioma surgery is indeed a Level 4 major operation; he wasn’t exaggerating.
