Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1959: You’re Impressive
The gap in psychological care for patients in medical service institutions is something only the patients’ families can try to fill. It’s not just children; adult patients are the same. But after all, family members are not professionals, and what they can do is limited.
Inspired by Student Xie’s questions to the patient, Pan Shihua had a sudden idea and said to the patient, "Come over this afternoon, and I’ll accompany you for the examination. If you have any questions, you can ask me on the spot. I’ll explain everything to you and teach you how to read the ultrasound report."
The fear partly stems from the psychological inability to control the unknown. Imparting knowledge and changing perception is one of the effective ways to eliminate fear. With Pan Shihua’s suggestion, the patient seemed a bit interested.
Hu Zhifan blinked and thought to himself. His girlfriend wouldn’t explain things to him during checks; instead, she liked to criticize him every time she got the results. In short, all the clinical doctors seemed like bosses, which made him feel like he was waiting for criticism every time he went for a check-up, which was uncomfortable.
It would be great if there was a doctor who could personally accompany him and explain his illness throughout the process, equivalent to giving him a reassurance pill. However, such doctors are almost unseen. Doctors in large hospitals are too busy.
Is this doctor in front of him really capable of accompanying him through these trivial tasks? Hu Zhifan looked over.
Pan Shihua’s gentle expression resembled that of Holy Mother Maria, patiently guiding the patient as if they were a child. Because, as Student Xie said, this patient is like a child.
Hu Zhifan nodded, "Thank you, Doctor Pan."
Others saw his change of attitude and smiled.
The ordered dishes were served.
While eating, Ren Chongda asked Student Xie Wanying, "How did it feel to participate in orthopedic surgery for the first time today?"
"I learned a lot," Xie Wanying answered earnestly.
"If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can take the opportunity to ask your Senior Cao," Ren Chongda told the student to seize the opportunity for academic inquiry.
Senior Cao’s research focuses on neurosurgery, which indeed has some relation to today’s surgery. Xie Wanying turned to ask Senior Cao, "Is decompression surgery a major surgical method in neurosurgery?"
Cao Yong put down his chopsticks and gently said to her, "Today, Teacher Chang didn’t speak or explain during the surgery, but you should have confidence in yourself. I think you did nothing wrong. Including the adjustment of the spine, I personally believe it was in place and won’t cause new spinal cord compression. You might be afraid that the anatomical direction of the spinal cord and the spine might not be perfectly parallel, causing a deviation. In this case, maybe there is individual variance, but from what I see, it doesn’t exist in this patient."
Senior Cao seemed to understand exactly what she was thinking, almost like a worm in her stomach. Just then, Xie Wanying suddenly realized the Senior’s answer was a bit strange, and she asked, "Senior Cao, did you watch the surgery?"
The junior sister finally asked. Huang Zhilei was holding his mouth and laughing beside them.
Seeing Senior Brother Huang laughing to the point of pounding the table, Xie Wanying was puzzled: What’s going on?
"Rest assured. When you didn’t see me, I was watching you," said Cao Yong.
Looking at Senior Cao’s sunny smile, Xie Wanying, after pondering over the Senior’s words, was shocked, "Senior, were you watching in the operating room? How come I didn’t notice you?"
If you could notice, you’d be impressive. Everyone present thought this way.
Pan Shihua stretched out his head to proactively share information with Student Xie, saying, "Yingying, I was also watching in the operating room."
