Chapter 731: Chapter 298: Easily Cured, The Patient Who Got the Runaround - Part 3
Director Dai is self-aware; she can handle medium and high difficulty cases.
But when it comes to extremely difficult cases, once she takes them on, she has no illusions other than getting slapped in the face.
Handling one or two cases a day where the cause of illness cannot be determined isn’t much of an issue.
But having four such cases in one morning is truly damaging to her reputation.
"Oh... I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to your situation." Du Leng’s emotional intelligence is not low. Seeing that Director Dai looked upset, he immediately understood what was going on.
Because there were more pediatric patients this morning.
And he subconsciously referred those he couldn’t handle to Director Dai. It seems he referred too many, annoying her.
"You should consult other specialists! Director Dai’s side is overloaded with patients waiting, she can’t handle more." Du Leng told the family.
"Okay, thank you!"
The family’s gaze swept over the many specialist seats and finally settled on Zhou Can’s desk.
"Honey, I saw that young doctor just now seemed quite capable. A child with a broken arm, without surgery, he healed him in no time. Let’s go see him!"
The two family members discussed.
"He’s that impressive! I hope we can find a highly skilled doctor to cure our son. It’s just that this doctor seems as young as Dr. Du!"
The woman clearly had more to say.
This Dr. Du isn’t reliable, and that Dr. Zhou looks even younger, probably unreliable as well.
But since they were already here and her husband personally witnessed the young doctor’s capability, she decided to take a chance.
As they walked over with their child, Mu Qin was pestering Zhou Can, wanting to interview him.
"Doctor, can you treat emergencies here?"
"Yes!"
Zhou Can looked up at the four people walking towards him; two children, two adults.
Who’s the patient here?
After briefly assessing the four, his gaze quickly fixated on the elder boy, around eight or nine years old. His complexion looked pale, slightly blue and dark, and his eye sockets were sunken.
It seemed this boy was the patient.
"Journalist Mu, please stop focusing on interviewing me. There are plenty of well-known experts worthy of your attention, really no need to focus on a mere resident like me."
Zhou Can finally had a new patient, providing a perfect reason to send Mu Qin away.
Both family members were quite young and even if they didn’t know what a resident was, they could guess it was something akin to an intern. Their expressions changed.
"No other expert has your ability. If any of them could easily fix a fractured arm like you did, I would interview them instead."
Mu Qin’s words restored some of the family’s trust in Zhou Can.
"It’s okay, I’m not busy anyway. I’ll just wait nearby and watch you treat the new patient." After saying this, Mu Qin smiled at the family members. "Hello, I am a TV journalist from the local station, may I interview Dr. Zhou during your child’s treatment process?"
Her beauty and strong charisma greatly increased the family’s favorable impression of her.
Moreover, her status as a TV journalist was highly respectable in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Interviewing is no problem at all. But my child is young, I hope you can pixelate the face in your report to avoid adverse effects on my child."
The child’s father agreed first.
Men often soften under a beautiful woman’s request.
The child’s mother seemed a bit jealous, glaring at her husband. However, in front of others, she still preserved her husband’s dignity.
And didn’t say much.
"Doctor, my son fell ill a few days ago and has been treated at the county women and children’s hospital and Provincial Children’s Hospital without improvement. Please take a look." The child’s father spoke very tactfully.
Normally, family members tend to hide the fact that they have consulted other hospitals.
He directly told Zhou Can that treatments from both hospitals hadn’t worked.
Implying that Zhou Can should weigh the situation.
If he can treat it, treat it; if not, better not to overextend.
After hearing this, Zhou Can’s expression remained calm, simply nodding.
"Let’s first look at the medical records and treatment details from the other hospitals."
Taking the document bag from the family, he began to carefully review the child’s condition.
This boy, eight years old this year, had symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and frequent urination throughout the day, which persisted for several days without improvement, prompting the family to seek hospital treatment.
Initially thought to be a cold or due to exposure to the cold, it turned out the boy’s illness was due to eating a very small live fish.
