Healing Doctor

Chapter 105 Continuous Missions

"Here!" General Manager Wu waved. He was originally facing Ji Xiang, but the moment he spoke, he was defeated by that damned sense of familiarity. He turned around and called to Lu Kai, "Take the patient to the ultrasound room, do an ultrasound, and then reposition him."

Ji Xiang followed to help.

"Mr. Wu, I don't see any problem," Lu Kai said, puzzled.

"Appendicitis isn't life-threatening, but testicular torsion is. We have to get it checked out regardless!" Mr. Wu said, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

The patient's family members were puzzled and muttered a few words under their breath, showing slight displeasure.

Mr. Wu didn't pay much attention; he'd seen similar situations countless times. If it really were testicular torsion, and the necrosis was removed, these were the very people who would cause the most trouble.

"Mr. Wu, is this alright?"

As he pushed the patient to get tested, Lu Kai asked in a low voice.

"My boss told me that many years ago, before CT scans were available in China, guess how they diagnosed cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction?"

"Well……"

This question was too difficult; Lu Kai couldn't answer it at all.

"If you make a hole in the skull and it bleeds, it's a brain hemorrhage; if it doesn't bleed, it's a cerebral infarction."

"..." Lu Kai was speechless.

"A CT scan costing 120-220 yuan can diagnose this now," Mr. Wu said with a smile. "Actually, we can just reduce testicular torsion directly to diagnose it, but we still have time, and an ultrasound is a standard diagnostic procedure."

"But I think the patient's family members seem to have objections," Lu Kai whispered in a very low voice.

Mr. Wu kept his distance; he might have accepted a different woman. As for Lu Kaiyao, no matter how well they knew each other, it wouldn't work.

"It's not that the patient's family doesn't understand or dislike using equipment; it's that they dislike having to spend money," Mr. Wu said with a smile. "We understand, we understand."

"I understand!" Lu Kai said helplessly.

"Of course, don't you think about discounts when you're shopping? It's only natural, what's there to fuss about?" Mr. Wu said casually, taking it all in stride.

Upon arriving at the ultrasound room, Mr. Wu found that the doctor on duty today was not very familiar with ultrasound blood flow scanning, so he decided to do it himself.

"It really is!" Mr. Wu pressed the ultrasound probe against the surgical area and saw changes in blood flow that basically matched the characteristics of testicular torsion. He said with some surprise.

"Mr. Wu, you're amazing!" Lu Kai said, half-jokingly.

"Mr. Wu, can you scan the blood vessels with the ultrasound probe and I'll reposition them?" Ji Xiang suddenly said.

Generally, monitoring with ultrasound while simultaneously repositioning is the safest approach. However…

Mr. Wu hesitated for a moment, and that damned sense of familiarity lingered in his mind again.

He glanced at Ji Xiang with a puzzled look. Although repositioning is a minor matter, if it is done incorrectly and causes greater damage to the patient, that would be a real mess.

"I've read Professor Chen Zhaodian's book from Zhejiang University. The direction of testicular torsion is from the outside towards the midline. Therefore, when repositioning the right testicle, rotate the affected testicle counterclockwise and the left testicle clockwise," Ji Xiang whispered to General Manager Wu.

That's exactly how it was done, and Ji Xiang mentioned Chen Zhaodian, a top expert in urology, so it seems he really knows about him.

But Mr. Wu still had some concerns.

But then he thought about it again and realized that Ji Xiang had "taught" him this level-three surgery, laser lithotripsy, so Mr. Wu felt at ease.

"You come here, I'll do the ultrasound," Mr. Wu said, then added, "Slow down, if anything doesn't go right, stop immediately. Don't be too fast or too forceful! Be gentle, remember, you must be gentle."

Ji Xiang understood what General Manager Wu meant, and he nodded.

The moment the patient was repositioned, Ji Xiang felt his entire body relax. The muscles, tense from the pain, relaxed, making the patient feel much more comfortable.

"Blood flow has been restored!" Mr. Wu said happily.

"Do you feel comfortable?" Ji Xiang asked.

"I felt so much better right away, doctor, you're amazing!" the patient replied.

"The testicle on the affected side has descended, and the tenderness has lessened." Ji Xiang reported to General Manager Wu after the physical examination, and then began to perform the leg raise test on the patient.

Mr. Wu was not surprised. Isn't it normal for a doctor who can accurately reposition the leg to perform a leg-raising test after repositioning?

After successfully repositioning a testicular torsion in the emergency room—a patient who was extremely prone to misdiagnosis—General Manager Wu was in high spirits. He almost whistled, had it not been for the need to maintain a serious demeanor in front of the patient's family.

The patient's leg raise test was negative, which relieved Ji Xiang.

"Ding-dong~"

A system notification sounded indicating that the task was complete.

[Emergency Mission: Emergency! Emergency!! Phase 1 Completed.]

Congratulations! You have correctly corrected the testicular torsion and successfully restored it to its original position. You have gained 1000 experience points.

What? Phase One?

These four words weren't there before, and Ji Xiang looked at the system task with some confusion.

[Emergency Mission: Emergency! Emergency!! Phase Two]

Task: Properly treat an emergency patient.

Task duration: 12 hours.

Task Rewards: 3000 experience points, 3 surgery points.

Then, the second task appeared.

This time, it's marked as the second phase.

When Ji Xiang saw the task, he wondered if he had messed up the system. The system was starting to act strangely after he had been grinding for rewards.

"Send the patient back to the gastrointestinal tract." General Manager Wu left the ultrasound room in a good mood and waved to Lu Kai to take the patient back.

As instructed, Lu Kai pushed the wheelchair and led the patient's family back to the gastroenterology department in a large group.

Meanwhile, General Manager Wu and Ji Xiang returned to the ward.

"Dr. Ji, do you know why we sent the patient back?" Mr. Wu asked with a smile.

"We don't need to write medical records," Ji Xiang replied.

These are just some clinical tricks. After solving the problem, we don't have to do the work that we shouldn't do, since the emergency department sent the patient to the gastroenterology department.

If you want to complain, go find the doctor in the emergency room. It has absolutely nothing to do with me, Mr. Wu, the head of the urology department.

That's what Mr. Wu thinks.

"Dr. Ji, your surgical talent is truly exceptional," Mr. Wu remarked as they walked. "Which department are you interested in?"

"Does Mr. Wu have any recommendations?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Ophthalmology is gold, surgery is silver, obstetrics and gynecology is dirty and tiring, pediatrics is noisy and chaotic, infectious diseases is a dead end, nutrition is a place where you can just eat and drink for free, and I would rather die than go to the emergency room."

Mr. Wu recited a little rhyme.

"Based on my experience over the years... I actually regret it to death."

"What's wrong?"

"Let me put it this way, Dr. Ji. You may have heard that interventional cardiology surgeries are lucrative, right?" Mr. Wu said.

"Yes."

"But that's all earned by the older generation, it has nothing to do with junior doctors," Mr. Wu said. "I don't recommend it. I suggest you... if I could choose again, I would choose dentistry."

"But!" Mr. Wu emphasized, "not all dental departments are good; you absolutely cannot work in oral surgery!"

"Repair and orthodontics are dental work, I know that," Ji Xiang said with a smile.

Just then, Mr. Wu's phone rang.

Mr. Wu was a little annoyed and was about to glare at Ji Xiang, who was the one who brought him to the emergency room! But that damned sense of familiarity lingered in his mind, so Mr. Wu lowered his head awkwardly and answered the phone.

"What kind of emergency?"

"Wow! Really?!"
