Healing Doctor

Chapter 246 Calling a deer a horse, turning black into white

Ji Xiang became increasingly serious.

The diagnosis of blue ears is definitely not macrovascular vasculitis or recurrent polychondritis. Professor Li must have made a mistake in his diagnosis!

Although the patient's blue ear symptoms improved after taking the medication, the rapid decline in kidney function was unbearable.

Professor Li also knew that his diagnosis was wrong, and that it was also wrong to prescribe pulse therapy with azathioprine and methylprednisolone for the patient.

But clinical diagnosis and treatment are not like doing exercises, where you can start over if you make a mistake.

This is also a significant factor contributing to the high psychological stress experienced by clinicians.

Being a doctor is a profession with a very low margin for error, especially when dealing with all kinds of difficult and complicated cases. By the time you realize you've made a mistake, it's almost too late.

Professor Li, who was leading the group, felt guilty, and his attitude towards "himself" became increasingly excessive, making "himself" his punching bag.

The insults and abuse have reached a new level.

Ji Xiang knew that his future would not be as simple as reporting to the medical office.

The patient has acute renal failure; if anything were to happen to him...

Ji Xiang had already foreseen his own tragic end.

Sure enough, the test results were getting worse and worse, and all objective evidence indicated that the situation was not optimistic.

The patient's family members were becoming increasingly depressed, and extreme emotions were brewing, like a volcano about to erupt, ready to explode at any moment.

Anyone with even a little clinical experience can sense the anxiety and gloom emanating from the patient's family.

When your own child is hospitalized for a "minor" illness, but unexpected problems arise, who can remain calm?

Blue ears, acute renal failure—the doctor downplayed these symptoms, but what's the truth?

The blood vessels in my kidneys are completely blocked! This is intolerable!

Ji Xiang was also helpless.

He kept reviewing the whole process.

Although the professor leading the group had problems, aside from shifting blame and using psychological manipulation on himself, he did everything else fairly well.

At the very least, the diagnosis and treatment given by others seemed correct to me at the time, and I even felt that this "empathy" could end at any moment.

As it turned out, he was still quite inexperienced, and Ji Xiang gained a clearer understanding of his diagnosis.

"I should hurry up and fill in my diagnostic skills. Even optical surgery won't do," Ji Xiang thought to himself.

As the patient's condition worsened, hospital-wide consultations were held daily, with many familiar doctors sitting together sighing and lamenting, but it was all for naught.

No one can say for sure what the patient's condition is.

When he was first hospitalized, it was just pneumonia, but it got worse and worse, and he developed blue ears, secondary acute renal failure, and thrombosis.

No one anticipated this rare occurrence.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!!" Professor Li, who was leading the team, was hysterical. At the hospital-wide consultation a few days later, he pointed at Ji Xiang and roared, "It's all because you gave the wrong diagnosis! If you hadn't started treating him so haphazardly, how could the patient have become so seriously ill!!"

"You're not a doctor at all! This is a human life, a human life!"

"Look what you've done! The patient's kidney function is already failing. What are you going to do next?!"

Ji Xiang looked helplessly at the professor in charge of the group, who was roaring incompetence like a clown.

And "oneself" is even more powerless, and can only squat in a corner to endure the unfair accusations.

Ji Xiang knew that there was never any fairness in this world.

But Professor Li's actions were going too far.

Professor Li, who was leading the group, gave Ji Xiang, who had just entered society, a lesson.

"This is definitely a medical malpractice incident! You are responsible for the accident!" Professor Li went crazy, his eyes red, and grabbed "himself" by the white coat and pulled "himself" up.

"Director Bao, it's all his fault, he did everything wrong!"

There were more than a dozen people in the office, including doctors, professors, and department heads, but no one spoke; they all watched the scene silently.

Ji Xiang endured all of this like a lamb to the slaughter, with no one even speaking up for him.

"That's settled then," Director Bao said in a deep voice. "Let's go through this from the beginning. Dr. Ji's diagnosis and treatment were flawed. Don't rush things. We've invited experts from another hospital for a consultation today. If it still doesn't work, Dr. Ji, you should be prepared."

"Ready?" "Myself" asked blankly.

"There's already one case of someone being convicted of medical malpractice; you should be the second," Director Bao said coldly.

Ji Xiang felt a chill run through his body.

He knew he was going to be thrown out as a scapegoat.

Just as Director Bao said, everyone has personally experienced the matter and knows who made a mistake and treated it wrong, but now no one is "helping" them by saying even a single word.

Upholding justice?

If there were any justice, it certainly wouldn't be here.

"Myself" trembled all over, overwhelmed by anger and grief, leaving his mind blank.

"What else do you have to say?" Director Bao said with his usual cold indifference. "Treatment error... never mind, it's no use talking to you. As a doctor whose duty is to treat and save lives, you made such a big mistake, yet you want to shift the blame to others. Put your hand on your heart, are you even a doctor?"

As he spoke, Director Bao gently patted his chest.

"Can your conscience be at peace?"

Ji Xiang had heard of phrases like "calling a deer a horse" and "turning black into white," but experiencing it firsthand today made him feel truly different.

Compared to Director Bao and Professor Li, who was leading the group, Director Bai, Mo Chenggui, Colonel Wang, and Director Liu around him were all kind and approachable people.

The pressure was mounting, and "I" could no longer bear it. A thought of ending all the absurdity enveloped me.

"She" ran out of the office, pulled open the window, and nimbly leaped out.

"No..." someone shouted instinctively.

But he only uttered one word before shutting up on his own.

"Myself" turned around and looked at this group of indifferent people one last time. The joy of playing games in the internet cafe seemed to be just outside the window, and all I had to do was jump down and find it.

Without hesitation, "he" leaned out.

Ji Xiang sighed. He knew that the next second, with a flicker of light and shadow, he would return to the system's operating room.

Oh shit!

This world is absurd!

However, the next second, the scenery around him "reversed," and instead of returning to the system's operating room, his body was pulled back directly.

"Promising."

A familiar voice appeared in my ear.

Ji Xiang was taken aback.

A warm feeling flowed through his heart; he knew who had come!

Professor Zhou, it must be Professor Zhou.

This deeply moving memory was also copied from Professor Zhou's personal experience!

"Are you all even human?" Professor Zhou's voice was icy as he grabbed Ji Xiang while scanning everyone else.

"Not being able to diagnose a disease is a sign of incompetence and lack of skill; everyone makes mistakes sometimes. But what about you? You don't even know how to be decent human beings."
