Healing Doctor

Chapter 244 Being Blamed (Bonus Chapter by Alliance Leader STpeter x2)

The pun on "seeing a ghost" in English was something Ji Xiang reluctantly accepted and remembered regarding the "beach sunshine" interpretation. If he ever had the chance to encounter this person again in a similar situation, he'd definitely give him a piece of his mind.

The patient seemed to realize something, and she made a phone call home as she walked.

Under the watchful eye of the supervising professor, the patient underwent echocardiography and liver, gallbladder and spleen ultrasound examinations, which revealed mild mitral regurgitation and severe systolic dysfunction, with an ejection fraction of 32%.

Finally, Professor Li, who was leading the group, requested a color Doppler ultrasound of the renal vessels.

The test results were all fine, but the fact that a young female patient had renal insufficiency always raised some doubts.

Ji Xiang kept staring at the patient's ear; the color was normal and had not turned blue.

eccentric.

Wasn't I here to empathize with those who have blue ears? So far, I haven't met anyone with blue ears.

But at this point, Ji Xiang could already sense the anxiety of Professor Li, who was leading the group, and "himself".

They seemed to vaguely realize that something was wrong.

Since there was no definitive clinical evidence to prove that the patient had other problems, Professor Li, who was in charge of the group, prescribed diuretics such as ramipril, spironolactone, and bisoprolol for symptomatic treatment.

Another day.

Ji Xiang arrived at the hospital for work, and as soon as he entered the ward, he felt something was wrong.

Several people were standing outside the ward, talking about something with serious expressions.

That ward was the one where the female patient with pneumonia stayed.

What's going on? Ji Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to go and see. He guessed that the patient had "transformed".

But "he" himself didn't have that kind of courage. This was a bystander mode, and Ji Xiang could only stand aside and watch like a spectator.

After changing his clothes, "He" did not go out immediately, but stood at the door of the duty room listening to what the people outside were saying.

After listening for a minute without understanding, "he" walked out in frustration.

At the same time, Professor Li, who was leading the group, and Director Bao from the Medical Affairs Department walked out dejectedly.

"Professor Li, what's going on!" Director Bao's voice was stern. "What the hell did you give the patient?"

"It didn't work out." Professor Li, who was in charge of the group, was also a little confused. His eyes were lifeless, as if he had been up all night.

"You're still lying! How could the patient's ears have changed color if there was nothing wrong with them! You... I..." Director Bao cursed in a low voice, his tone extremely stern.

But surrounded by patients' families, he still managed to control his temper.

"Xiao Ji!" Professor Li, who was in charge of the group, saw Ji Xiang come out and immediately perked up, striding over.

"Professor Li." "Myself" seemed to sense something was amiss and bowed humbly as he spoke.

"What exactly did you give the patient? It was all on my orders! You must have given the wrong medication! Look at the mess you've made!!" Professor Li, the team leader, roared.

Ji Xiang was taken aback, and "himself" was also stunned.

This is blatant blame-shifting!

Does Professor Li have any shame? He really has absolutely no shame at all.

"Come on, let's go see. Explain yourself to Director Bao!" Professor Li, who was in charge of the group, grabbed Ji Xiang by the collar.

Like dragging a dog, they half-dragged and half-pulled "themselves" to the doctor's office.

Director Bao didn't say anything to stop it, but watched the scene with a cold face and followed him to his office.

Professor Li, the team leader, turned on his computer and pointed to the ceftriaxone and azithromycin prescription, asking, "What are these?"

"Professor Li, the patient's white blood cell count is high; we should use antibiotics..."

"Who the hell gave you permission to use it!" Professor Li, who was in charge of the team, finally caught them red-handed and roared angrily.

His anger was so faint that Ji Xiang knew he was acting, and Professor Li also knew that Ji Xiang knew he was acting, but Professor Li acted as if Ji Xiang was unaware that he was acting, putting on an immersive performance.

Professor Li, who was leading the group, looked both angry and innocent.

Ji Xiang really couldn't understand why.

If there's a problem, solve it; what's the point of shifting blame? Besides, even if a junior doctor under your supervision really made a mistake in giving medical advice, does the professor in charge of the group think he can get away with it?

Just as I was thinking this, "smack!" A stack of A4 papers was thrown at my face.

"Explain to me why we're using ceftriaxone!" Professor Li, the team leader, roared angrily.

This suddenly seemed to wake "myself up".

Even a clay figure has some earthy spirit; if an adult is bullied like this, at least half of them would choose to fight back.

However, the anger only lasted for a moment, and then "he" backed down.

Ji Xiang was speechless. He recalled how he had thrown the study materials in Qin Chu and Ling Tian's faces during the lesson.

Karma came swiftly.

"Director Bao, these young doctors are getting harder and harder to manage, and they're becoming increasingly disobedient," Professor Li, the team leader, said angrily. "He's giving patients medical orders behind my back, without even getting my permission. It's all his fault, it's him!!"

Director Bao sat in his chair, coldly watching this scene.

Professor Li, the team leader, immediately changed his expression, bowing and smiling obsequiously at Director Bao, "I'll contact the inspection team right away, as for the rest..."

As he spoke, Professor Li, who was leading the group, glanced at Ji Xiang.

So brazen?

So undisguised?

Ji Xiang didn't understand at all.

If he could speak, Ji Xiang would definitely have grabbed a chair and smashed it on Professor Li's head.

Let this son of a bitch try to shift the blame onto me!

But "I" am cowardly and dare not utter a single word.

Ji Xiang finally understood the psychology of those who were driven to suicide by their mentors.

Ji Xiang used to be completely baffled as to why.

They're all so suicidal, wouldn't it have been better to just jump off a building with their mentor? They even wrote suicide notes saying they wouldn't let their mentor go even as ghosts. What did they do while they were alive?

The "self" now is utterly pathetic, not daring to resist at all, helplessly looking at the ground, tears streaming down its face.

"Your group should handle its own affairs," Director Bao said coldly. "We have an emergency room appointment for examination. Get a clear picture of the situation before we talk about anything else."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Professor Li, who was leading the group, kept moving up and down as if he had a spring installed in his waist.

He's really mastered the art of changing faces; his dog-like face can turn on a dime faster than flipping through a book.

Subsequent abdominal CT scans confirmed a 7-centimeter filling defect in the abdominal aorta below the left renal artery and significant occlusion of the right renal artery.

Extensive collateral circulation is present in the distal abdominal aorta, thoracic vessels, pelvic vessels, and femoral vessels, suggesting chronic disease.

Furthermore, Professor Li, who was in charge of the team, inquired in detail again and learned that the patient had a history of lower limb lameness.

In addition, the patient's renin level rose to 116 mU/L during this period, consistent with renovascular hypertension.

Artery blockage...

At this point, Ji Xiang "guessed" that the patient's ears turning blue was likely related to ischemia.

It was actually quite easy to guess, but the patient's blue ears were so striking that even a rheumatologist like Lu Gang didn't immediately think of it.
