Capítulo 730: Chapter 298: Easily Cured, The Patient Who Got the Runaround_2
The two people’s trust in Zhou Can had reached a new height.
They followed the treatment plan prescribed by Zhou Can without any deviation.
“This is the payment slip, please go and pay first, so that I can get the materials and properly bandage the child’s arm.”
The fees were not expensive, just a manual repositioning fee, consumable costs, and the purchase of two bottles of calcium tablets.
Many people think that the medicine in the hospitals is more expensive than outside, but in fact, it’s the opposite.
The real curative drugs are actually cheaper in the hospital, and many can also be reimbursed through health insurance.
The drugs that doctors specifically ask to be bought at outside pharmacies are likely to be much more expensive than those at the hospital.
Simply put, it is to avoid legal risks and receive kickbacks.
As for this kind of doctors’ usual saying, it is nothing more than that we don’t have this kind of medicine in our hospital, and some drugs from particular pharmacies outside have better effects.
After the child’s mother paid, Ji You brought over the bandages.
Zhou Can skillfully bandaged the child, and then asked the family to go to the pharmacy to get the calcium tablets themselves. After giving some precautions, the child was considered treated.
The family was very grateful and left with the child.
After the boy’s arm was reattached and bandaged, he could walk freely.
He had a lollipop in his mouth, his hand no longer hurt, and his smile returned to his face. The joy of children is always so simple.
“Dr. Zhou, I got the photographer to capture all your impressive moments just now! Can you spare a few minutes for an interview?”
Mu Qin was truly relentless, seizing the opportunity to focus on Zhou Can again.
Today, seeing Zhou Can working in the outpatient hall filled her with joy.
Right then, she clenched her fists secretly and thought “let’s see where you can run off to this time.”
Indeed, her wishes were fulfilled.
She had successfully captured the whole process of Zhou Can treating the boy.
To her, curing a child who had broken his arm in a very short time was utterly impressive.
This is genuine skill indeed.
“Sorry, we do not accept interviews during our work process!”
Zhou Can declined unapologetically.
“You’re not seeing any patients right now, are you?” she said, winking at Zhou Can.
Compared to other doctors, there were notably fewer people in front of Zhou Can’s consultation desk.
At this moment, not far away, Du Leng was also quietly observing Zhou Can’s every move. When he saw Zhou Can skillfully reattach a child’s broken arm, he couldn’t help but feel envious.
But envy was pointless, because Zhou Can had the skill, whereas Du Leng did not.
Manual repositioning might look simple, but is extremely difficult to perform.
There are some orthopedic surgeons who can perform manual repositioning, but those highly skilled in this method are extremely rare.
At the same time, Du Leng was also diagnosing a child.
This child was over 8 years old, exhibiting symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, low fever, and urinary frequency, presenting a complex medical condition.
The child had been seen at two hospitals without improvement.
Even a high-level hospital like the Provincial Children’s Hospital hadn’t been able to cure this child.
After examining the child, Du Leng found that all necessary tests had been done, and even some unnecessary ones had been conducted quite recently.
Learning from the lesson where he was scolded by the family just the other day, Du Leng dared not prescribe any unnecessary tests.
He flipped through the medical test documents several times, his face thoughtful, unable to give a diagnostic opinion for a long time.
The family urgently asked, “Dr. Du, can you tell us what exactly is wrong with my child?”
“Uh… well! It’s hard to say, his condition is very complex, and you have already conducted all the necessary tests at the Provincial Children’s Hospital and the county women and children’s hospital. Maybe you should consult Director Dai from Pediatrics,”
Du Leng said embarrassedly as he ushered the patient out.
Overall, he was making progress.
At least he had gotten rid of the bad habit of pompously lecturing families on irrelevant medical knowledge, which had been scolded out of him by the families. The scolding, like a whip, forced him to change.
Otherwise, there would be more families pointing their fingers and scolding him.
Being scolded by families every day for seven days of consultation, one could hardly imagine.
Some believe that society is the best university, and they are not wrong. Before entering society, one often feels full of theories and capable of anything. Once stepping into society and being harshly treated by it, one realizes their own worthlessness.
Then, they begin to make an effort to improve, continuously learn, become mature and dependable, steadily adapting to this cruel true world.
Director Dai felt bitter when Du Leng passed another patient over to her.
That morning, Du Leng had already thrown three difficult cases to her.
Unfortunately, not one of the three difficult cases was cured. Now he was throwing another one at her; Director Dai felt millions of curses rushing in her heart. Was Xiao Du trying to make her take the fall?
With media reporters and so many families and patients watching,
if she, as a pediatric expert, couldn’t diagnose the illness or cure it, in the eyes of others, the expert would turn into a “brick expert.”
Du Leng had already resigned himself to failure; was he now trying to damage her reputation as a pediatric expert?
“Xiao Du, I’m really busy right now! You could also refer the patient to other experts for diagnosis,” Director Dai could only find a somewhat acceptable excuse to refuse.
When Du Leng was examining that child earlier, she was just behind the consultation desk and heard everything clearly.
A bunch of symptoms, just listening to them was enough to give anyone a headache.
Not to mention that this child had already been treated at two hospitals without any effectiveness. Such a patient was surely an extremely difficult case.
