Transferring hospitals is not as easy as the family thinks.
The patient’s condition is already very dangerous, and they are likely to die during the transfer.
Previously, when prompted to transfer, she refused.
Now the chance to transfer is lost, and it can only be done once the patient’s condition stabilizes.
"My husband’s sister and his parents will come over. Let’s see what they say then!"
The woman might also be realizing that her husband’s condition is critical, and after hanging up the phone, she didn’t play with her phone as before.
Instead, she crouched down and looked at her husband, asking, "How are you feeling now? Any better?"
Her husband looked at her weakly, breathing heavily, unable to respond at all.
"Before, when he was sick, just an IV drip would make him better. Why isn’t it working this time? Doctor, I’m begging you, please save my husband!"
The woman watched as her husband lost consciousness, and started panicking inside.
"We’ll definitely find a way if we can save him."
Director Kuo looked at the patient’s condition, feeling anxious as well.
At this time, Li Jingsheng had already gotten hold of Old Yu’s number from the anesthesiology department.
He looked at the female family member, "Given your husband’s current condition, he will likely need a tracheal intubation. We’ll need to invite an anesthesiologist over to collaborate on this. You aren’t transferring hospitals now, are you?"
"I don’t know. My mother-in-law and the others say I should quickly help my husband transfer hospitals."
She shook her head.
There are some things she couldn’t decide on her own.
Moreover, she seemed particularly naive, lacking any maturity, steadiness, decisiveness, or wisdom expected of an adult woman.
Sometimes, a woman overly indulged by her husband isn’t necessarily a good thing.
Her husband might not fulfill her physiologically, feeling a sense of inadequacy, thus taking great care and adoring her. She grew like a greenhouse baby, having no ability or judgment in the face of a crisis.
Li Jingsheng listened to her and couldn’t help but turn to look at Director Kuo.
This issue wasn’t originally his responsibility.
He simply felt that the patient’s condition was severe, and the cause was a mystery. Driven by a sense of responsibility as a physician, he decided to come over for a look.
"Director Kuo, maybe I should call ahead to speak with the anesthesiology department, at least to have them prepared. If the patient’s condition worsens further, a tracheal intubation will definitely be required to potentially save his life."
Originally, this was Director Kuo’s matter.
Li Jingsheng had been invited, and by helping now, he was already going above and beyond.
"Alright." Director Kuo nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, inwardly admiring Li Jingsheng’s status and connections in the hospital. At least, he himself didn’t have this kind of capability.
Unless the patient was facing further danger, he couldn’t dare make that call.
No one would take him seriously.
Doctors in a similar awkward position to Director Kuo are not an exception but commonly exist.
