Healing Doctor

Chapter 424 Feigning Indifference to Lure the Enemy (Bonus Chapter by Alliance Leader Foucs x1)

This time, the patient, who had been subtly resistant, took the initiative to ask. Ji Xiang explained the theory while connecting it with practice, using the simplest and most understandable language to clearly explain Mirizzi syndrome after cholecystectomy.

He said that Mirizzi syndrome is different from that of Professor Shen and Zhai Yuhan.

It's not that the language is vulgar, but rather that the perspective is different.

As Ji Xiang explained Mirizzi syndrome, he described the patients he had encountered. Every detail touched the heart of patient number 12-3.

At this point, the patient numbered 12-3 had lost his previous stubbornness, and his fear was visibly overflowing.

Because every word Ji Xiang said seemed to be tailored to his own situation.

However, the young doctor participating in the reality show hadn't experienced the previous rounds of consultations, meaning he didn't understand his own condition. And even if he had, it would be difficult to understand if he wasn't experiencing pain himself.

The conclusion was easy to reach, and the patient quickly came to believe Ji Xiang.

"Dr. Xiao Ji." The patient's expression turned serious, no longer as affected as when facing the camera. After all, it involved his health, and no one could ignore it.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhou?"

"Is a test necessary?" the patient asked.

"Probably. Anyway, my teacher scared me so much that I did it twice, but it was completely useless. However, I've heard that if there are any problems, it can be very painful, and in severe cases, it can even lead to liver failure."

"!!!"

Patient No. 12-3 was taken aback.

"And me?" he asked.

"You don't seem like it." Ji Xiang didn't take the bait, but instead said something sarcastic.

The people in the commentary room were stunned, only Professor Shen nodded slightly.

"Professor Shen, why did Ji Xiang say that?" a guest asked.

The patient was almost ready to give up and was about to agree to an MRI scan, but Ji Xiang backed out at the last minute. To others, Ji Xiang's statement meant that all the previous preliminary work had been for nothing.

"It's different," Professor Shen said softly. "What Ji Xiang said makes me feel quite bewildered."

"In a daze?"

"Only the most experienced doctors know that if you go along with what the patient says, the patient will hesitate and most likely say 'I'll think about it.' And then, that's it," Professor Shen commented based on his clinical experience.

"Well……"

The guests in the commentary room were stunned.

"I guess Ji Xiang will say some seemingly plausible things next, but he will keep getting closer to the patient's condition."

"A feigned retreat to lure you in?" the host asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what they mean by 'playing hard to get'!" Professor Shen agreed with the host's insightful comment.

How can it be so complicated!

Seeing patients is just seeing patients and treating illnesses, why are you trying to use military strategy?

The guests in the comment section were speechless.

……

Just as Professor Shen had predicted, Ji Xiang deliberately said some things wrong, allowing the patient to fill in the gaps himself.

The benefit of doing this is that it gives the patient a sense of participation, allowing them to find their own way out of the fog.

Stubborn people generally don't believe what others say; they only trust their own judgment.

Patient No. 12-3 was unaware that he had been interfered with by Ji Xiang. While "chatting" with Ji Xiang, he figured out the problem and broke out in a cold sweat.

Repeated complications could lead to liver failure. A liver transplant would require waiting for a donor... Ji Xiang used numerous complications to "scare" patients number 12-3.

"Can you do an MRI? I think you need to make an appointment," Patient No. 12-3 interrupted Ji Xiang and asked.

"I don't know, I just arrived today. Brother Zhou, are you getting an MRI?" Ji Xiang asked, feigning ignorance.

"Xiao Ji, can you ask for me? No, never mind, I'll just go see Director Yang directly," said Patient No. 12-3.

"Then let me ask too." Ji Xiang didn't have a smug expression. Instead, he scratched his head, using body language to express his embarrassment and difficulty.

However, he didn't say anything more to avoid having the opposite effect, and then returned to the doctor's office.

……

"Brilliant!" Professor Shen exclaimed, slapping the table in admiration.

"Ji Xiang is practically on par with the most experienced clinician, and he's also incredibly emotionally intelligent," Mao Mao commented.

"But he's just a resident physician, how could he have so many? Or are these all just coincidences?" one guest questioned.

"You can't doubt a doctor's communication skills just because they are young. These skills are innate," Professor Shen said. "I've encountered many cases in my clinical practice where doctors with poor communication skills, even if they miraculously cure patients, will still be the subject of complaints."

"And Ji Xiang's communication skills are top-notch."

Everyone agreed with this assessment, and they began to discuss with great interest the conversation that Ji Xiang had just had with the patient.

……

……

Zhai Yuhan looked at Ji Xiang in surprise.

"Dr. Zhai, the patient requests a test. Could you add another machine before work tomorrow?"

Ji Xiang asked.

This process... Zhai Yuhan remained silent.

The hospital prohibits doctors, nurses, and staff members from bringing familiar patients to "squeeze in" patients.

Adding one MRI machine before work begins is a favor, since the doctors in the MRI lab are not yet at work and it's their "spare time," so it's not against the rules.

This is an unspoken rule in the medical field.

However, not many people are aware of this unspoken rule.

Ji Xiang looks young, but he is extremely skilled at all sorts of things, including unspoken rules.

Zhai Yuhan didn't believe it, so she stood up and went to ask patient number 12-3 herself.

Ji Xiang didn't go with them; he sat down and began to look at the medical records again.

"Ji Xiang, how do you communicate with patients?" Zhao Mengmeng asked, bewildered.

"We were just chatting. The patient wanted to have the tests done, and I didn't say anything," Ji Xiang replied.

He never wastes his breath on training newcomers.

Having been instilled with many values ​​and ways of doing things by the system NPCs, Ji Xiang felt that doing so was too tiring, so he had no interest in explaining it to Zhao Mengmeng.

It's pointless to explain; Zhao Mengmeng wouldn't understand anyway.

Ji Xiang saw himself as a senior doctor deep down, and he knew he was definitely not a good teacher, let alone interested in educating people.

I'm not a system NPC.

Soon, Zhai Yuhan returned.

She stood at the doorway, scrutinizing Ji Xiang with a bewildered look.

"Teacher Zhai," Ji Xiang greeted him casually.

"How did you do that?"

"I didn't do anything," Ji Xiang said dismissively. "We just chatted, and before I could even ask, the patient asked for an MRI."

"..." Zhai Yuhan really wanted to grab Ji Xiang by the ear and make him tell the truth.

But looking at Ji Xiang's expression, she knew that no matter how much she asked, it would be useless.

Damn it!

That's absolutely outrageous!!

"Teacher Zhai, can we do the examination first thing tomorrow morning? If so, I'll go and tell the patient not to eat or drink anything."

"I can do it," Zhai Yuhan practically squeezed out the answer through gritted teeth.

"Great!" Ji Xiang said with a smile. "Then I'll go and inform the patient."

That concludes today's filming. Ji Xiang informed the patient that they should not eat or drink anything tomorrow morning before returning to the hotel to rest.

But the work of others has just begun.
