Chapter 419: Chapter 193: The Patient Vomiting Blood. Return to the Emergency Department, Nervous as One Approaches Home_3

Zhou Can reacted quickly and steadied her in time.

"I’ll help you ask around! If that doesn’t work, the Provincial People’s Hospital doesn’t have such a tight bed shortage, and the medical standards there are very good, too. You can go there for hospital treatment."

After saying this, Director Jia instructed Qiu Hong to call the inpatient department.

Qiu Hong made the call, "Hello, I’d like to ask if it’s possible to arrange a bed in the inpatient department now? We have a patient here who urgently needs to be hospitalized for vomiting blood."

The reply from the other side seemed to be that there were no available beds.

Qiu Hong continued, "Can you help to think of a solution? The patient’s condition is quite urgent."

She ended the call somewhat disappointedly.

"There are no beds available in the inpatient department right now. If it’s truly urgent, they suggest that the patient wait and see if any beds become available tomorrow. They’ll call to notify if one does."

This is the most common practice.

There are only so many beds in Digestive Surgery, and they are now filled with patients. They will only become available once some patients are discharged.

Hospitals usually ask these patients who need inpatient treatment to leave their phone numbers and then queue for a bed.

Discharge procedures are typically conducted in the morning.

That’s why they ask patients to wait until tomorrow to see.

"He has been vomiting blood continuously; waiting until tomorrow morning is too risky," Director Jia said with a concerned expression.

Often, what troubles doctors is not how to treat the disease, but the lack of available beds.

"Director Jia, can we consider taking him straight to the Emergency Department for treatment? The observation area there could accommodate him for the night." Zhou Can had trained for three months in the Emergency Department and knew the place well.

This patient actually should not have registered for any special expert appointments. It’s just a common illness; any ordinary Internal Medicine or Surgery attending doctor could handle it.

Also, for emergencies like his, going through the emergency channel often allows for the quickest rescue treatment.

By going through the outpatient department, just queuing for examinations can be exhausting enough.

The patient must have gotten through the examinations quickly; his parents probably didn’t spare any efforts in cutting lines.

After all, vomiting blood does look very frightening, which makes a good excuse to jump the queue.

"Yes, yes, going through the Emergency Department is a good idea."

After listening, Director Jia felt that Zhou Can’s suggestion was quite good.

"Zhou Can, you’re familiar with the people in the Emergency Department, right?"

Director Jia knew that Zhou Can was from the Emergency Department.

"I’ll take them over, and I should be able to handle this matter!"

Zhou Can didn’t dare to make a full guarantee.

Having left the Emergency Department for over a year and being so busy, he hardly ever returned.

He only contacted Dr. Xu, Director Lou, Qiao Yu, and the others during festivals, to offer greetings and best wishes.

Director Lou, Chief Physician Han Changqing, Dr. Xu, and others would definitely take his word.

But it would be less certain with the general staff and nurses.

Because he had been away too long and they were not aware of Zhou Can’s impressive performance during his rotation in other departments, there might be a case of "out of sight, out of mind."

When the patient’s family heard that Zhou Can could help with the hospitalization, they were overjoyed, thanking him profusely as if he were a life-saving straw.

They followed Zhou Can to the Emergency Department.

Arriving at the waiting corridor outside the Emergency Department, Zhou Can felt a sense of ’homesickness’.

Once upon a time, this place was full of familiar faces and events.

Over a year ago, carrying the earnest hopes of Director Lou, Vice Director Han, Dr. Xu, and others, he set off on his journey to learn in the Surgery rotation.

Originally, he planned to return after two years and nine months, triumphant and ready to make significant contributions to the Emergency Department.

Now, only a small part of his rotation was completed, not even having finished the Surgery rotation in its entirety. He really didn’t want to come back to the Emergency Department at this time.

Even just coming over for a short visit and leaving soon after, he reluctantly did so.

Deep down, Zhou Can was a person with a strong sense of pride.

Having promised Director Lou, Dr. Xu, and the others, he would have preferred to return after completing his studies.

"Wow, Dr. Zhou, is that really you? We haven’t seen you in over a year! You never come back for a visit."

Ye Tingting seemed to be everywhere.

Her eyes were sharp, spotting Zhou Can immediately.

"Hello, Sister Ting! I’ve been busy, and I haven’t had the time to come back for a visit! After more than a year, you’re still so beautiful, nothing has changed."

Zhou Can responded with a smile.

During his time in the Emergency Department, his relationship with Ye Tingting had always been good.

"What brings you and them here?"

Ye Tingting’s gaze shifted to the patient and family behind Zhou Can.

"Digestive Surgery is out of beds, so I brought the patient over to see if we can have him treated in the Emergency observation area first," Zhou Can explained with a smile.

"Are they relatives or acquaintances of yours?"

Ye Tingting felt that if Zhou Can personally brought them for treatment, they must be relatives or acquaintances receiving special consideration.

"Neither, just a regular patient from Digestive Surgery. He’s suffering from esophagogastric varices and their rupture due to drinking baijiu, which can’t wait. I’ve volunteered to bring them over."

"Got it. Hand me the documents, and I’ll go speak to attending physician Ali."

Ye Tingting was quite helpful.

Being a nurse in the observation area, she didn’t have the authority to decide whether a patient could stay for treatment. That decision needed a doctor’s approval.

At this moment, Doctor Lin from the operating room must have just finished lunch in the cafeteria and was on his way back.

Seeing Zhou Can, he hurried over to greet him.

"Zhou Can, Dr. Zhou! It’s been some time since we’ve seen you, how’s it going? Is your rotation in other departments going well?" Doctor Lin warmly inquired about Zhou Can’s recent circumstances.

"Thank you for asking, my rotation has been going quite smoothly. How about you? It’s been over a year, so things must be pretty good, right?"

Zhou Can remembered that, upon his departure, the Emergency Department’s surgery room had introduced a competitive mechanism.

Mediocrely talented Doctor Lin, along with Doctor Lu who tended to skive off work, both faced the risk of being let go.

"Alas, let’s not talk about that. You know my talents; I haven’t had a pre-midnight sleep in the past year. I’ve been desperately practicing basic surgical skills every day to stay on. For now, I have managed to keep my position."

Doctor Lin spoke of his troubles with a heavy heart.

"Heh, staying on means there’s still a chance. I believe you will only get better and better."

Zhou Can was genuinely happy for him.

Despite Doctor Lin’s flaws, no one is perfect. After being colleagues for so long, there were surely some emotional bonds.

"Dr. Xu must miss you. Whenever we don’t make clear progress in surgery or when we make mistakes, he often tells us how well Zhou Can is doing. I’ll go tell Dr. Xu; it’s also time for him to take a break for lunch."

After saying that, Doctor Lin didn’t wait for Zhou Can’s reply and quickly walked towards the operating room.
