Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 777

Chapter 777: Chapter 362: The Cause of Hypertension Found, a Heartbroken Mom

"How is the child’s condition now?"

Li Jingsheng was ready to get straight to the point.

He didn’t have much time to persuade this stubborn and doubtful father.

"Let’s talk over there."

The child’s father glanced at the nurse, then pulled Li Jingsheng aside.

"Dr. Li, is the director you recommended reliable? She said she wants to insert a needle into my son’s belly to see if there’s any pus. My wife looked it up online, and if this puncture is done poorly, it could be deadly! The child is already in so much discomfort, and if this continues, I’m not sure if my son will even get out of the hospital.

The attitude of the doctors and nurses here is also bad.

When I ask them questions, they always seem disinterested."

The family member ended up feeling wronged and started complaining to him.

This highlights the importance of mutual trust and communication between doctors and patients.

Some family members always think doctors are trying to cheat them out of money, deliberately ordering more tests and prescribing more medication. With this kind of subjective presumption, no matter how much doctors explain, it’s pointless.

Li Jingsheng was willing to come, partly to save the child, and partly because he saw that the family still had some basic trust in him, as an act of goodwill.

There’s no need to wait until the child develops a severe condition, needing emergency rescue, and then scold the family.

"Mr. Chen, since you are a regular at our Sunshine Clinic, I’ll speak frankly. Normally, I’m at the orthopedic clinic with a whole crowd of patients waiting for their turn, and I really don’t have time for other matters. But regarding your son, I cannot sit back and watch the situation worsen, or worse, become an incident.

Let’s talk about your son’s situation first.

Director Xiao examined him with a digital rectal exam and found a mass on the right front side, meaning the mass is in the lower right abdomen. When you brought your child to my clinic yesterday, I suspected appendicitis. Later, I suggested you get an ultrasound done at my clinic, but you thought it would be better at a major hospital, so it wasn’t done.

This morning when you came to me, I checked the child’s abdomen, and his pain had actually lessened.

If what the child has is truly acute appendicitis, do you know what that means?"

Li Jingsheng asked the family member.

The other person shook his head blankly.

"It means the child’s appendix might have already become purulent, perforated, and peritonitis has formed. This condition can quickly lead to death, especially with children who have a higher mortality rate. If the cause of the illness is identified now, and treated promptly, the child might just suffer a bit and you may spend more money. If you continue to delay and refuse to let the doctor do an abdominal puncture, with every hour of delay, the child’s condition worsens.

Many healthcare personnel at the hospital get off work at six in the afternoon.

There are definitely risks associated with performing an abdominal puncture examination, which is why you need to authorize it as the family. While the doctors are doing their best to save the child’s life, you as family members are opposing them; do you think the doctors and nurses could have a good attitude toward you? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
