Healing Doctor

Chapter 536 So Kind It's Unbelievable

"Dr. Xiao Ji, the patient... the patient..." Miao wanted to say something, but stammered and hesitated.

"Teacher Miao, the patient's pain area is quite large. Could I see the ultrasound report from the emergency room before admission?" Ji Xiang asked.

Mr. Miao was helpless; he had thought about it a hundred times but still couldn't figure out what Ji Xiang was up to.

However, as long as Ji Xiang had a request, he took Ji Xiang to see the patient's medical records.

The medical record hadn't been written yet, and Mr. Miao blushed slightly, so he brushed it off.

"This is the patient's ultrasound, Dr. Ji, please take a look." General Manager Miao handed the thin medical record to Ji Xiang.

The medical record currently only contains the emergency room lab reports; everything else is blank.

Ji Xiang didn't seem to care, as if he hadn't realized the problem, and carefully looked at the ultrasound report.

"What's so interesting about this?" Miao thought to himself.

As a chief resident in the clinic, Dr. Miao usually only looks at the conclusions and never looks at the images on the report.

Ji Xiang looked at the lab reports over and over again without saying a word.

"Dr. Xiao Ji, what's your opinion?" President Miao asked, trying to make conversation.

"The patient's pre-hospitalization imaging looks a bit problematic. Dr. Miao, don't you think her gallbladder is a little enlarged?"

After hearing Ji Xiang's words, General Manager Miao almost burst out laughing.

Your gallbladder is a bit large!

An ultrasound scan of the gallbladder is just meddlesome for emergency room doctors.

They were worried about something going wrong, so they ordered an ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and lower right abdomen all at once. Plus, the report said no abnormalities were found, so what's there to see?

The patient's chief complaint is abdominal pain, and the diagnosis is acute appendicitis. He must have previously worked in hepatobiliary surgery, so he only knows how to examine the gallbladder and is basically clueless about other areas. Therefore...

wrong!

As Mr. Miao was thinking, he suddenly abruptly interrupted his train of thought.

This is wrong, absolutely wrong!

Ji Xiang can diagnose free abdominal tumors, and he even knows the details such as that 14 similar articles have been published in well-known journals around the world over the past few decades. Such a person would not make up nonsense.

"Gallbladder, is the patient's gallbladder enlarged due to eating?"

Ji Xiang shook his head slightly. He seemed to be stunned for a moment, but in less than a second, all the doubt on his face disappeared.

Mr. Miao didn't notice the details. He continued, "Dr. Xiao Ji, I'm not trying to be nosy, but I don't know about your relationship with Director Kong. However, I think it's best not to bother Director Kong with such trivial matters."

"Let's take a look together, and let Director Kong give it a shot." Ji Xiang smiled slightly. "But Professor Miao, is the waiting list for the operating room really long?"

"It's alright this morning, there aren't many emergency room visits," said General Manager Miao. "I'm just trying to scare the patients' families. Regardless of whether it's acute appendicitis or not, surgery needs to be done immediately. If it's delayed, I really don't know what to do."

"That's good."

When Mr. Miao saw that Ji Xiang had handed him the patient's "medical record," he quickly took it, placed it next to the computer, and then took Ji Xiang to the ward.

Soon, Director Kong brought people to perform a bedside ultrasound.

If it were a regular doctor, they would have brought their own cart, but the doctors under Director Kong were pushing carts, and he strode ahead.

Upon seeing Ji Xiang in the corridor, Director Kong quickened his pace, approached him, and patted Ji Xiang's shoulder forcefully.

"Xiao Ji, these past few episodes have been great. I've watched them all, and while watching, I kept thinking how true the saying 'Heroes have always emerged from among the young' really is."

"Professor Kong, you've arrived," Ji Xiang said with a smile.

"What do you need me for? Call me after get off work sometime. You left right after filming the show, and I've been wanting to get together with you again." Director Kong said to Ji Xiang with the warmth of an old friend reuniting.

Mr. Miao was moved to tears.

This is hardly the treatment an intern receives; it's more like being treated like a director.

"Okay, Professor Kong. There's a patient in the gastroenterology department diagnosed with acute appendicitis, and I always feel there's something wrong with the patient's gallbladder area." Ji Xiang said something unrelated, but immediately steered the conversation back to the patient.

"I'll go see what the problem is." Director Kong took the car and pushed it into the ward.

"I think the gallbladder looked too big on the ultrasound last night, which doesn't seem like it was caused by eating."

"Let me take a look first. That little seedling, go and bring me yesterday's ultrasound report."

When General Manager Miao returned with the form, Director Kong had already finished the ultrasound, and Ji Xiang was wiping the coupling gel off the patient with a tissue.

"Xiao Ji, your gallbladder looks fine," said Director Kong. "Do you suspect that an enlarged gallbladder is a precursor to perforation? But I haven't seen any signs of gallbladder enlargement, thickened and rough walls, discontinuity of the gallbladder wall, fluid accumulation in the upper right abdomen, or a fluid-filled dark area around the gallbladder."

Ji Xiang didn't say anything, but carefully wiped the coupling gel clean, then pulled down the patient's gown, and carefully covered the patient with a blanket and tucked the corners in.

"The appendix is ​​fine; it's not a perforated appendix," Director Kong said.

The patient's family members finally relaxed.

"However!" Director Kong said in a deep voice, "Let's hurry up and start the surgery. There are already signs of peritonitis. If we delay any longer, I'm worried about shock."

shock?

shock!

The patient's family was stunned.

After taking yesterday's report, Director Kong glanced at it, pushed the cart out the door, and said to Ji Xiang as he walked, "Ji, gallbladder perforation is very rare in clinical practice. As a rare disease, it is generally not given much consideration."

Director Kong spoke in a very colloquial and informal way, which made General Manager Miao quite envious.

He could clearly sense that Director Kong treated Ji Xiang like a teacher treats his favorite student. When the other person made a mistake, he not only did not blame him, but also shared all his life experience with him.

"The ultrasound showed discontinuities in the image. There was indeed a slight discontinuity at the fundus of the gallbladder, but that discontinuity is not considered a perforation; rather, it's likely due to gas..."

Director Kong kept talking.

Every sentence is a summary of years of clinical experience, packed with valuable insights.

Director Kong spoke for at least five minutes before smiling slightly, "This time you've overthought things. But it's only right to think things through."

"Dr. Kong, the patient's physical examination still has problems. When you pressed deeply on the gallbladder point during the ultrasound, the patient showed signs of pain," Ji Xiang insisted.

Director Kong paused for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Why are you so stubborn, kid!"

Mr. Miao's heart sank. He knew Director Kong was about to lose his temper.

I've already explained everything to Ji Xiang in such detail, but he still insists the patient has a gallbladder problem. This is just being unreasonable. The worst part is that even after he's become unreasonable, Ji Xiang keeps insisting, which is incredibly annoying.

"Your temper is just like mine when I was young!"

Director Kong patted Ji Xiang on the shoulder again, looking incredibly kind.

"I happen to be free today, so I'll join you in the surgery later. I'll show you with facts that everything is fine."

Mr. Miao burst into tears.

Why is the usually strict Director Kong being so kind to Ji Xiang!
