Chapter 747: Chapter 304: To Each Their Own, The First Step of a Prominent Doctor Begins
It can be foreseen that as long as this boy persists with this correct treatment for a period of time, he will definitely be able to turn the tide and become out of danger.
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a malignant disease that can involve multiple organs and tissues throughout the body as the condition continues to progress, ultimately leading to serious consequences including the death of the patient.
In fact, this child’s condition has already advanced to a severe stage.
It was also fortunate that he was diagnosed by both Zhou Can and Director Zhang Bihua together.
Otherwise, if it had been delayed further, the patient would have definitely been in mortal danger.
Having successfully cured another patient, Zhou Can felt joyful, as if he had drunk honey. This sense of achievement and social contribution are hard to obtain from other activities.
After advising the family members on a few things to pay attention to, he went to another ward to check on the pregnant woman.
The pregnant woman’s lower body was immobile, having suffered a femur fracture; she needed at least two months of rest before considering getting out of bed for some rehabilitation training. By then, she would definitely need crutches.
In two months, she would be seven months pregnant.
By that time, her abdomen would be quite large, and the physical burden would be very heavy. This is actually not conducive to rehabilitation training.
Moreover, if she were to fall during training or exert too much force while using the crutches, it could easily cause a miscarriage.
Considering the safety risks, doctors would definitely only recommend the pregnant woman do some simple rehabilitation exercises. For her to fully recover her mobility, it is likely that she would need to wait until after the childbirth.
Being pregnant for ten months is truly not easy.
“Dr. Zhou, you’re here!”
The husband of the pregnant woman was a simple and honest man from the countryside. Zhou Can had given him some food last night, which he was very grateful for.
People from the countryside are mostly like that; a small kindness is enough to make them feel deeply grateful.
“How is your wife doing today? Is she feeling any better?”
After asking, Zhou Can’s gaze turned to the pregnant woman on the bed.
“She’s feeling much better,” the man said with a relieved smile as he looked at his wife on the bed.
After a few days of treatment, his wife was able to escape from the brink of death, a fact that made him especially happy.
When the pregnant woman was brought in that day, her condition was extremely critical.
When the doctor issued a critical condition notice to the family, he was full of fear and anxiety, sleepless through the night.
The thought of possibly losing his wife and child forever made him particularly sad and frightened.
Many things are only truly appreciated after having experienced them.
Having been through the ordeal of life and death with his wife, he cherished the person in front of him even more.
“Dr. Zhou, can my wife eat now? She woke up last night and has been telling me she’s hungry. Director Zhang told us we need to fast for a while, so I didn’t dare to give her any food.”
He carefully followed the doctor’s orders, tenderly caring for his wife who had narrowly escaped death.
“Let me first check her temperature, blood pressure, and airway condition!”
Zhou Can first picked up the chart to check the nursing records. Her temperature was normal, blood pressure was slightly high, which is relatively unstable for pregnant women and can fluctuate within a certain range, which is normal. He then checked her respiratory passage and the external fixation of the fracture, both of which had no issues.
The pregnant woman was lucid, breathing normally, and able to converse normally.
“First, give her some warm boiled water to drink, and some liquid food! She’s just recovering from a serious illness, so avoid strong supplements; ordinary rice porridge is fine. If you’re really concerned about your wife’s nutritional needs, you can feed her some meat porridge, eight-treasure porridge, or milk.”
Zhou Can gave his guidance.
For patients who are just recovering, feeding them easily digestible and absorbable liquid food is most appropriate.
“Alright! Thank you, Dr. Zhou!”
The man felt reassured after asking Zhou Can.
After checking the wards, Zhou Can went to the outpatient hall to sit for consultation.
Yesterday, he had only seen two patients the whole day, and they were the kind that didn’t trust him, which now left him with some psychological shadow.
But what needs to be faced, still has to be faced!
Today, the number of patients coming for consultation seemed to have increased by quite a bit. It appears that this expert clinic event had quite a positive effect.
Director Zhang and others cured many patients who came for consultation with their strong skills, coupled with the advertising of Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital, which gradually created a siphon effect.
Following this trend, the number of seekers is bound to increase.
Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital’s foundations were relatively solid; having experts from Tuya Hospital back them up helped to dilute some negative impacts.
However, returning to its former glory would definitely take a long time.
Moreover, the high-level administration of Xinxiang Women and Children’s Hospital must not make any foolish moves and should focus more on managing the hospital and improving the quality of medical care. If another incident were to occur, the hospital would likely face its doom.
Zhou Can raised his eyes and saw that queues of patients looking for consultation had already formed in front of the consultation tables of Director Zhang, Director Dai, Director Luo, Du Leng, and others. Especially in front of Director Zhang Bihua’s table, it looked like there were nearly thirty female patients lining up.
Experts in medicine emphasize precision and quality over quantity.
Therefore, Director Zhang’s expert clinic implemented number limits.
For experts, their income has a good guarantee, and their clinical experience is already very rich; they don’t need to accumulate experience through a massive number of cases like young doctors.
Experts are the hospital’s signboard; ensuring reputation is actually the most important.
Otherwise, if an expert makes a mistake during diagnosis or treatment or makes a misdiagnosis that backfires, the loss is not just on the expert. The backing hospital suffers a huge loss as well.
