Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Chapter 155: Station Chief Qiao Comes to Pick Up the Patient, Mobilizing the Full Power of Old Street for Diagnosis

All the medicines used by Dr. Zha were for symptomatic treatment.

But they were completely ineffective and instead caused the patient’s condition to worsen, indicating the cause was not acute gastric mucosal lesions.

Then what could the disease be?

Bowel perforation is also unlikely.

However, if the patient has a persistent high fever and severe abdominal pain symptoms, acute peritonitis caused by bowel perforation must be considered.

This illness is extremely dangerous, and each 12-hour delay triples the patient’s risk of death.

It’s understandable why Dr. Zha is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Transferring the patient is one option, but the situation at the health station is quite complicated. It would be best if this case could be handled internally. Dumping a problematic patient on a higher-level hospital—Station Chief Qiao is now a bit worried that this might affect the health station’s goal to upgrade to a service center. You know, this goal is the shared vision of dozens of healthcare workers at the station and Station Chief Qiao."

Boss Zhao might even be considering smashing his head against a wall in frustration.

Originally a win-win situation, how did it turn into this mess?

If this issue isn’t resolved, Dr. Zha might hate him for life, and Station Chief Qiao’s good impression of him would also greatly diminish.

To someone as ambitious as Station Chief Qiao, anyone who obstructs the health station’s upgrade to a service center, he will not hesitate to confront.

"Then why did you come to me?"

Li Jingsheng, having been tricked by Boss Zhao several times, immediately remained highly vigilant.

"Cough... just wanted to ask if you know what illness that patient has?"

Boss Zhao, being an elder, had no choice but to seek advice from Li Jingsheng, a younger colleague.

He most likely felt embarrassed.

"Who would know! Acute gastroenteritis, ulcerative colitis, bowel perforation, acute pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis, and so on are all possible. I only had a brief understanding of the patient’s situation that day; they didn’t even allow me to perform an abdominal examination before throwing a tantrum and leaving. You were there too!"

Li Jingsheng kicked the ball back.

This matter must not be touched.

"When they left, you told the patient it was no minor illness, and you seemed very sure of yourself. Bro, at this point, don’t keep your thoughts hidden; tell me your diagnosis or your reasoning, whatever it may be. Consider it as your big brother asking for your help, okay?"

Boss Zhao was indeed desperate.

"Truly don’t know."

Li Jingsheng helplessly shrugged.

"I have patients inside, so I’ll stop chatting with you. In my opinion, transferring the patient or inviting experts from other hospitals for a consultation are all options."

"Bro, you speak lightly. Transferring is no easy task. The patient now insists on staying and won’t agree to transfer on their own. If the hospital steps in to transfer, it can only be to the second-tier hospital, which is a last resort. As for inviting external experts for a consultation, do you think experts are easy to invite? For a problematic patient like this, experts would avoid them if they could!"

Boss Zhao shook his head and sighed.

Everyone acts in their own interest, or the heavens would strike them dead.
