Healing Doctor

Chapter 762 Major Liability Accidents

"Even if he's ranked number one in the country, he's still a resident physician. When have resident physicians ever had a say in a hospital? Are department heads, specialists, and professors just sitting around doing nothing?" Wei Fusi retorted.

He felt ashamed of his earlier "cowardice" and raised his voice a few decibels.

"Teacher, the patient really can't hold on much longer," Ji Xiang said respectfully. "His blood pressure is very low, and he's experiencing diffuse bleeding. Although we're treating the symptoms, but..."

"But what? If I were you, I would stand quietly at the back and speak up. You're making a fool of yourself." Wei Fusi looked up at Ji Xiang and scolded him, "Do you even know what lupus is? You've learned a few words from books, but I've seen plenty of young doctors like you make a fool of themselves."

Ji Xiang shrugged.

He didn't care about the disdain and rebuke of a stranger.

Anyway, Director Liu is here.

"Old Wei, say less." Zhou Tianbo pulled Wei Fubo aside while smiling apologetically at Ji Xiang, "Little Ji, don't mind him, Old Wei has had too much to drink."

"Who drank too much? The patient's family all said there's no history of lupus. Besides, the diagnosis of lupus requires looking at symptoms, medical history, and auxiliary examinations. Do you see any symptoms of lupus on the patient's body?"

"Hemolytic reaction is also a symptom, and it doesn't necessarily have to be accompanied by skin erythema." Ji Xiang retorted gently before Zhou Tianbo could speak.

"These are nothing!" Wei Fusi roared in anger.

This was only because it was in an unfamiliar hospital. If it were in his own hospital, Wei Fusi would have already slapped him across the face.

Whose resident trainee is so arrogant? Even being number one in the country isn't enough!

"Keep your voice down, this is the ICU." Director Liu returned after hanging up the phone and saw Wei Fusi reprimanding Ji Xiang. He spoke sternly, showing his protectiveness towards his son.

"..."

"..."

Wei Fusi and Zhou Tianbo were both taken aback.

Director Liu placed the patient's blood transfusion slip on the table. "Our blood type test showed it to be A, but the patient's family said the patient had donated blood and was type B. We're very certain."

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

"Fortunately, Xiao Ji offered a solution first. If we had waited for the patient's family to come, without asking about their medical history or knowing their blood type, and if something went wrong or the patient's family went to the blood bank to claim reimbursement afterward, it would definitely be a medical dispute."

Director Liu's words sent a chill down the spines of most of the doctors in the ICU.

Even if the patient's family has no objection to the rescue and accepts the diagnosis of acute hemolytic reaction, they are still very likely to go to the blood bank to claim reimbursement for blood transfusion costs.

When you get the blood transfusion slip, you see that the patient received type "A" blood, but you know the patient has type "B" blood...

Medical disputes are just a euphemism; this is definitely a medical accident, and one that the patient's family is relentlessly pursuing.

If we find a few more media professionals who are bursting with a sense of justice but lack medical knowledge and speak recklessly.

Cough cough, in that case the situation would be completely out of control.

Back then, from orthopedics to blood transfusion to the ICU, any doctor or nurse who treated a patient was held accountable.

It might even trigger nationwide condemnation.

Who would believe that your blood type test was done correctly? Who would believe that your eight-item check was flawless?

Fortunately, Ji Xiang had anticipated this and first proposed a diagnosis of lupus.

Regardless of whether the diagnosis is correct or not, this matter is beneficial to both the hospital and the doctor who treated the patient.

"I'll call the medical affairs office. Xiao Wu, prepare for a kidney biopsy," Director Liu said seriously.

Wei Fubo was stunned.

The patient's family's account of his medical history was inconsistent with the hospital's examination results.

He had never encountered a similar situation before.

When patients need blood transfusions at the hospital, blood is drawn and sent for testing. No one will use the blood type stated by the patient's family or the patient to make a determination.

This is basically common sense.

however!

That junior resident trainee defied common sense.

Wei Fusi was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. He was somewhat bewildered, standing there, the effects of the alcohol completely gone.

Zhou Tianbo looked at Ji Xiang with a complicated expression.

He and Ji Xiang had known each other for a long time, even back in a private hospital. At the time, Ji Xiang was quite unreliable, bringing up things like mecha; he was clearly a young man with a very unconventional way of thinking.

But only a short time later, Ji Xiang was able to participate in consultations as a resident physician, and his thinking was unique and unconventional.

Find the problem among a million impossibilities.

Regardless of whether his diagnosis is correct or not, it at least helps to minimize a serious medical accident.

Whether this matter will be resolved peacefully depends on the results of the subsequent laboratory tests.

But can lupus cause blood type tests to fail? Zhou Tianbo racked his brains, searching his memory for similar information.

It is true that there is a very low probability that antibody tests may produce errors.

However, he had never seen a similar case in clinical practice.

As Zhou Tianbo pondered this, he tried to pull Wei Fusi away. But Wei Fusi was somewhat resentful and didn't want to leave, so Zhou Tianbo pulled him to stand in a corner to wait for the test results.

Mr. Wu and Mr. Ji worked together to perform a biopsy.

Because the matter was of great importance, Director Liu didn't need to use his connections at the laboratory; Director Bai simply made a phone call to the deputy director of the laboratory, who was in charge of similar tests, and brought him to the hospital.

The entire process is expedited.

Soon, Director Bai walked into the ICU with a gloomy expression.

He said nothing, picked up the medical record and examined it carefully.

Xu Leyu was terrified. He never expected that the things he had repeatedly checked with the nurses and the head of the ICU would be wrong.

Xu Leyu had no similar knowledge in his mind.

He could only pray that nothing went wrong.

After briefly reviewing the medical records, Director Bai turned around and gave Xu Leyu a deep look.

Just that one glance, that single look, made Xu Leyu feel weak all over, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Major medical malpractice!

This is a major medical malpractice incident!!

Even if both sides are equally blamed, one's future will still be severely affected.

But who the hell...

Xu Leyu wanted to cry but had no tears.

"General Xu," Director Bai said in a deep voice.

"Hey, Director Bai." Xu Leyu walked up to Director Bai with his head down, bracing himself for a barrage of criticism.

"You did a great job."

"???" Xu Leyu was stunned, not expecting to receive praise from Director Bai.

"You called Dr. Ji as soon as you realized something was wrong, right?"

"Uh..." Xu Leyu felt a little ashamed.

At the time, I was thinking about whether I could borrow Ji Xiang's help to write an SCI paper.

"Good, they have a sense of crisis. They knew something was wrong and immediately sought help from a higher-level doctor... to have Dr. Ji Xiang take a look," Director Bai praised.

"..."

Xu Leyu never expected that Director Bai would praise him for this matter.

This sounds absurd, but upon reflection, it seems to make sense.
