Chapter 112: High-Risk Emergency Patient, Poison King Plays Dirty, Doctors’ Occupational Exposure Revealed!
"Ah??"
Seeing this sentence, He Xiaohong stopped his hand that was about to perform wound cleaning, looking at Zhang Lingchuan with confusion.
Could it be that President Zhang has decided to do it himself?
That would be great!
After all, he had long wanted to see President Zhang perform wound cleaning and suturing on a patient.
There were rumors that his wound cleaning and suturing techniques were painless.
No one knew if it was true or not.
This old man can be a test case.
"Teacher Zhang, are you planning to do it yourself?"
Liang Xiangxiang was a bit surprised and asked upon seeing Zhang Lingchuan's sudden excitement.
She also looked forward to it.
"Xiaohong, Teacher Liang, I feel something is not right about this old man."
Zhang Lingchuan's expression was serious.
Just then, his system's scan result came out.
[System scan complete.]
[Patient's Name: Old Jiang Wei.]
[Patient's Gender: Male.]
[Disease Type: Latent syphilis (late stage), AIDS (mid-stage), limb abrasion.]
[Patient's Status: Currently, due to late-stage syphilis and mid-stage AIDS, the patient appears rather emaciated, and the limb abrasion is quite severe.]
[System Prompt: Due to unprotected sexual behavior resulting in syphilis and AIDS, the former is now in the late stage while the latter is in the mid-stage. There's no treatment significance. The host received the patient for wound cleaning and suturing due to a car accident. Please ensure self-protection and remind assisting medical staff to avoid exposure.]
This was the content he scanned, and it's not an exaggeration to say it was jaw-dropping.
I remember the young man from Shanya Village, who was suspected of having AIDS due to a fungal infection because he liked smelly socks during his college days in Rongcheng.
But this old man truly has AIDS, and even worse, he has both diseases.
[Ding! High-risk consultation task activated.]
[Task Description: The current host received a patient with dual ailments of AIDS and syphilis, posing a highly infectious threat. The host must protect himself and remind the medical staff to avoid occupational exposure.]
[Task Name: Protect Yourself and Remind Medical Staff to Avoid Occupational Exposure.]
[Task Reward: Professional Reputation 100, Task Treasure Chest*1.]
[Task Penalty: None.]
[Task Time: Within 3 hours.]
After the prompt appeared,
it also activated a system task.
Honestly, even without this system task, he would still issue a reminder.
After all, AIDS and syphilis are life-threatening conditions.
He thought, why is this old man marked with a red label?
Initially, he thought it was internal bleeding due to organ damage, which the hospital missed due to a simple screening.
But it turned out that the old man had both diseases.
How brutal!!
Typically, medical staff would ask patients about infectious diseases before consultation.
For instance, if they have AIDS or syphilis.
From Liang Xiangxiang's expression, this old man definitely didn't tell the truth.
Of course, according to standard procedures, accident victims who need to be hospitalized for a day or two have to be tested for AIDS and syphilis, even if they didn't disclose it.
However, testing takes time.
Therefore, in emergency situations like car accidents, testing might be happening while surgery is underway.
This leads to a common situation where medical staff find out about a patient's infectious disease, such as AIDS, only after surgery.
What to say.
He's not a medical student; he's a veterinarian.
But he does have friends in the medical field.
Normally, there's no discrimination against AIDS patients.
But you must disclose it beforehand.
This allows them to take protective measures while treating or operating on you.
The most despised people are those who hide their AIDS status.
Such people are the most detested.
Especially during blood handling.
Medical staff usually don't wear goggles or protective suits, and their precaution awareness isn't so high.
Occasionally, they might accidentally get pricked by a suture needle.
Mostly because there are many interns.
But if you tell them in advance that you are an AIDS patient,
interns will wear protective suits, goggles, and take necessary precautions during wound cleaning. Suturing avoids using hands to touch hooks, and if interns can't handle it, someone else would take over.
This basically eliminates the risk of occupational exposure.
This way, it benefits both the patient and the staff.
Hiding your medical history is essentially akin to murder!
How could anyone not be angry?
"Not right??"
He Xiaohong completely put down his tools, with a more puzzled look on his face.
As if to ask, what's not right?
He couldn't see it.
"Teacher Zhang, could you share what you discovered with us?"
Liang Xiangxiang didn't have a hint of doubt, she was very trusting.
But she was a bit puzzled about what was wrong with the patient, wondering if something was overlooked or missed.
"Doctor! I also feel some discomfort in my chest! It's stuffy! Help me bandage my foot first, then we can do a full check-up!"
The slightly thin old man spoke in a sighing manner.
"Internal bleeding??"
Hearing this, He Xiaohong and Liang Xiangxiang suddenly glanced at the old man.
But Liang Xiangxiang's simple screening showed no internal bleeding.
Could it be very subtle?
Bleeding that's hard to detect?
"Don't worry, sir. What you've mentioned, if assessable and feasible, will definitely be arranged. Before treatment, I have a few questions for you. Can you promise to answer truthfully?"
Zhang Lingchuan took the patient's registration information from the old man.
