Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1864: Who Is She to You?
"She fainted on the staircase." Dr. Qi read what was written in the patient’s medical record and speculated, "Did she meet someone outside and say something to others that caused emotional distress?"
Min Dongxiu’s mind was a mess, utterly confused, so she had no choice but to tell the doctor, "I’ll call home later and ask if my aunt’s friends know if she had contacted them beforehand."
These belong to personal privacy; doctors are not interested in knowing. Dr. Qi asked these questions merely to inform the family: "Cancer patients, having undergone surgery and chemotherapy, are already very weak. Don’t stress her out. Today it’s a heart issue; who knows if tomorrow it might be a cerebrovascular accident."
"Yes, yes, yes." Min Dongxiu agreed while knowing these matters must be clarified by her family to put the doctor’s advice into practice and get rid of those who upset her aunt.
"First, we’ll admit her for inpatient care and complete other specialized examinations. If necessary, we will consult relevant departments like neurosurgery for the patient." Dr. Qi started arranging for the patient’s admission and politely asked the opinion of the surgical colleague beside him, "What do you think, Dr. Shi?"
It’s an internal medicine case, so Shilei isn’t involved. We’ll discuss when internal medicine needs surgery consultations. The only reason he’s standing here is because Student Xie’s appearance is quite odd.
The transportation of transfer patients has never needed a doctor; a nurse is usually enough. Besides, this patient’s condition is not critical enough to need an oxygen bag to sustain her life.
Dr. Qi wrote medical orders for the patient’s family to handle the admission procedures. The patient completed the emergency admission process and entered Cardiology Unit Two.
The sound of Aunt Min lying on the rolling stretcher echoed through the emergency corridor, disappearing at the end. If the ambulance didn’t need to return to Beidou Third Hospital immediately, Xie Wanying had intended to accompany Aunt Min to the inpatient department. Now she could only watch her depart, thinking: At least Aunt Min should be relatively safe at Guo Zhi Hospital.
"What’s your relationship with her?"
Upon hearing the voice, Xie Wanying turned and found that Senior Shi hadn’t left. The teacher’s gaze was sharp, always intellectually alert. She admitted frankly, "Aunt is my mom’s old friend."
Shilei quickly grasped the key point: "Earlier, a bunch of us spoke, yet the patient’s family didn’t mention this."
"The family doesn’t know," Xie Wanying said.
Shilei’s eyes displayed two big question marks: Is this a secret?
"Didn’t have a chance to say." Xie Wanying explained. Mainly, she didn’t know how to suddenly bring it up with Aunt’s family. Aunt Min likely hadn’t had the chance to tell her family about her unique relationship with her mother, so if she mentioned it now, they might find it odd.
"Time to go, Dr. Xie." The nurse and driver on the Beidou Third Hospital ambulance urged.
"Mr. Shi, I’ll go now." Xie Wanying gratefully bid farewell to her senior; seeing familiar faces here made her much more at ease. Then, she turned around and quickly walked out of the emergency room, jumping into the ambulance.
Regarding her words and actions, Shilei was contemplative.
"Dr. Shi."
The voice made Shilei freeze momentarily before slowly turning around, realizing it was Du Yeqing coming out of Zhang Huayao’s office; it was unclear if he had seen the earlier events.
Du Yeqing glanced at his somewhat stiff face, lightly touched his frameless glasses to indicate questioning.
After making things clear, Shilei truthfully reported, "Xie Wanying just brought her mom’s old friend to be admitted to our Guo Zhi Hospital’s internal medicine."
