Healing Doctor

Chapter 659 Destroying People's Morals

"The two got married because of pregnancy. The child was born three months after the marriage. Later, some things happened, so the patient took the child to do a paternity test."

"Not his?" Ji Xiang asked.

"No, it's his brother's."

"Whose brother?"

"The patient's younger brother," Meng Qingfei said. "That is to say, his daughter is actually his niece, and he later learned through some channels that the person his ex-wife was having an affair with was also his younger brother."

"This is really...retro."

Ji Xiang thought for a moment and finally used the word "retro" to describe it.

"Hahahaha." Meng Qingfei laughed and prepared to clear the table. Ji Xiang scratched his head, just about to remind Meng Qingfei, when suddenly he shuddered. "Why is there someone here? Oh right, Dr. Lin Jiuze, look at me, I forgot you were still here, and I startled myself."

"..." Ji Xiang sighed.

Lin Jiu's presence caused the probability of acute myocardial infarction in those around him to suddenly increase.

"The story isn't over yet. The patient divorced his second wife a year ago, and didn't keep the child. Wealthy middle-aged men always find all sorts of women. He felt that young women were unreliable, and that it was better to find someone of similar age."

After exchanging a few words with Lin Jiu, Meng Qingfei forgot about him and continued gossiping with Ji Xiang.

"Then, he married a woman who was nearly forty, still attractive, and knew how to take care of people. Unfortunately, he discovered today that this woman was his father's mistress several years ago, and they are still in contact."

"!!!" Ji Xiang was stunned.

He had absolutely no desire to empathize with such a situation.

However, the patient's father should be in his late sixties or early seventies. He is still vigorous and experienced, and his strength and wisdom only grow with age.

"Teacher Meng, how do you counsel your patients?" Ji Xiang asked.

Meng Qingfei stared wide-eyed at Ji Xiang. "What's the point of comforting someone with this kind of nonsense? Go home and think about it yourself. If you figure it out, that's fine. If you can't figure it out, you'll just live your life in a daze anyway."

That makes sense, Ji Xiang thought.

It's not really an illness, not even a mental illness. Doctors aren't omnipotent.

"The patient has several large lumps on his head, which I suspect are hematomas. The neurological examination was normal. We'll have a head CT scan done, and we'll be back soon..."

Just then, the mournful sound of an ambulance siren came from outside.

"Damn it!" Meng Qingfei cursed immediately.

"Has the ambulance service been dispatched?"

"No, they were brought in from another hospital. The patients brought in by the ambulances from the smaller hospitals down here are all serious patients—either heart attacks or major car accidents. They stay at their hospitals for minor cases.

Meng Qingfei immediately went into "battle" mode, jogging to the entrance of the emergency room. Ji Xiang followed behind him, leaving Lin Jiu still eating half a dumpling, somewhat at a loss.

Soon, the stretcher came into view. Meng Qingfei shouted, "Surgery or Internal Medicine!"

He and the emergency room doctor waited anxiously for an answer.

"Surgeon, jumped from the building!"

The emergency room doctor's expression immediately relaxed. She patted Meng Qingfei's arm and said, "Old Meng, I'm going back now."

Meng Qingfei sighed almost imperceptibly.

The patient was brought to the emergency room. She was a woman who looked to be under 30 years old. She had a fracture of the femoral shaft with severe twisting and deformity at the fracture ends.

The doctors and nurses in the emergency department of the Second Affiliated Hospital were well-trained. They immediately put the patient on cardiac monitoring, inserted an intravenous line, and drew a tube of blood for testing.

Blood pressure is slightly low, but it's borderline hemorrhagic shock and is still within acceptable limits. Bedside ultrasound revealed a small amount of fluid in the pelvic cavity and a small amount of fluid around the spleen.

It's not a big problem; Meng Qingfei has his own judgment.

He ordered tests and told the caregiver to take the patient to get them done. Before leaving, he told the caregiver not to come back if there was nothing wrong, and to take the patient directly to the orthopedics department.

"Xiao Ji, are you preparing to go back for surgery to repair your femoral shaft fracture?" Meng Qingfei asked quietly.

"I don't want to go to the femoral head position."

"Yeah, it's just carpentry work, nothing special, no difficulty at all, might as well not do it," Meng Qingfei said. "Just use some steel nails and plates to fix it in place, and it'll be done."

That being said, orthopedic resident surgeons should really enjoy performing similar surgeries.

"I didn't see any of the patient's family members."

"They might be doing odd jobs," Meng Qingfei said, suddenly revealing a strange expression.

"Teacher Meng, what do you want to say?" Ji Xiang asked.

"The most incomprehensible patient I've ever seen is... what is it? Let me think about how to describe it." Meng Qingfei hesitated for a few seconds.

Ji Xiang was curious, and Lin Jiu was even more curious.

Just how complicated is this matter that I need to organize my thoughts?

"That was five years ago. I was on duty when I encountered a patient who had fallen from a building," Meng Qingfei recounted the story. "The patient was seriously injured and quite old, around 55 years old. He had emergency surgery and stayed in the ICU for more than 20 days."

"I later heard the nurses gossiping that his son was a henchman of a big company boss, who helped the boss take over his business and married the boss's mistress, N."

"Maybe the big boss had some kind of protagonist aura, because the patient's son quickly started taking the medication and became a cross-dresser. I didn't even know what a cross-dresser was back then, and the nurses laughed at me for it."

"It's said that they not only have to serve the big boss, but also the boss's customers. The couple works together, which can be considered... a united effort. His first child was the big boss's, and the second child was his own. After having the child, he asked the patient's spouse to take care of him."

"It's normal for a mother to visit her grandson. But somehow, the big boss slept with this woman too, and the whole family... So the patient couldn't accept it and chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building."

"Uh..." Ji Xiang was stunned.

Such a bizarre event!

"I later heard that the big boss paid for all the hospital fees. When the patient was discharged, the big boss, perhaps feeling guilty, personally came to pick him up and gave him 200 million yuan in cash on the spot."

"Are they trying to bribe an old man with money?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Who knows?" Meng Qingfei said. "There's nothing we can do. People are all different in this world, and values ​​are something that's hard to describe."

"Teacher Meng, the medication that causes effeminate behavior is probably an estrogen-based drug, right? Could it cause irreversible damage to the patient?"

"How would I know about these things? Endocrinology is a very complicated matter. I'm a surgeon, right?" Meng Qingfei shrugged indifferently.

"That's true," Ji Xiang said with a smile, "but isn't doing this kind of thing illegal?"

"Breaking the law? It only counts if someone reports it; otherwise, it's basically a case of 'if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate.'"

"That doesn't make sense..."

Before Ji Xiang could finish his question, Meng Qingfei's phone suddenly started ringing incessantly.

Meng Qingfei took out his phone, and when he saw the phone number on it, his face instantly turned ashen.
