Chapter 278: Competition among the Younger Generation, You Must Have Bought Your Doctorate
After listening to the complaints of the family member, Dean Tian began to have serious doubts about Du Leng's abilities.
But in such a public setting, she certainly wouldn't show it.
Right now, it's most important to soothe the family member and patient to de-escalate the situation.
It was not easy to invite the specialist team from Tu Ya Hospital for this expert consultation event, but it has been fraught with complications and endless troubles.
Tu Ya Hospital should have sent a few more reliable young doctors over.
When thinking of reliable young doctors, Dean Tian's gaze couldn't help but fall on Zhou Can.
Young doctors like Dr. Zhou are indeed very dependable.
"Family member, please calm down first! Your wife's condition may indeed be quite complex. Rest assured, we have invited many experts from Tu Ya Hospital this time. If one expert's knowledge is limited, we will ask several experts to have a joint consultation. We will definitely try our best to find out the cause of your wife's illness and not let your trip be in vain."
With Dean Tian's reassurance, the family member's expression lightened considerably.
"Director Zhang, this patient's condition is a bit complex. Could you please conduct an on-site consultation discussion about the cause of her illness?"
Dean Tian was, in essence, putting pressure on Director Zhang.
After all, it is crucial for the expert consultation event at Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital to achieve good results.
We must not allow such a minor issue to ruin the overall good situation.
"Alright, once I finish with this patient here, I will immediately organize the experts present for a discussion," Director Zhang Bihua gladly agreed.
She was also worried that the family member might become impatient again and discontented.
Her gaze swept over the other experts, catching Deputy Director Shi and Director Jiang from the Neurology Department who were idle.
"Deputy Director Shi, Director Jiang, one of you specializes in Digestive Internal Medicine, the other in Neurology. The patient's symptoms are related to both the digestive and nervous systems. Could you please help take a look?"
As the team leader who came to Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital for the expert outpatient event, Zhang Bihua was the captain and had full authority to assign tasks to other experts.
Of course, at her level, she spoke with utmost courtesy.
She used a consultative tone.
Rather than using a commanding and condescending tone that would repel other experts.
"No problem! Bring the materials over here, and Director Jiang and I will take a look together!"
Deputy Director Shi was more proactive than anyone else.
His enthusiasm surprised Zhang Bihua, Dean Tian, and the others.
Everyone was astute, seeing Deputy Director Shi's eagerness possibly indicated he had a degree of confidence!
Little did anyone know, Deputy Director Shi and Zhou Can had already made plans, and he even prepared to take the initiative.
If it weren't for Du Leng's quarrel with the family member, Deputy Director Shi might have 'offered help' much earlier.
The family member, having had a falling out with Du Leng, naturally couldn't wait to find another expert to treat his wife.
"Honey, let's go. We'll find another expert to see your condition!"
The family member took the documents and led his wife to Deputy Director Shi's consultation table.
Director Jiang also got up and came over, followed closely by Gao Jian.
Zhou Can quickly stood up to offer his seat.
"Director Jiang, please take a seat!"
Such modesty and politeness greatly increased Director Jiang's favorable impression of Zhou Can.
"Thank you!"
Director Jiang nodded amiably at him and sat down next to Deputy Director Shi.
Zhou Can and Gao Jian stood side by side for the first time.
The two exchanged smiles, but Gao Jian's eyes betrayed a ready fervor for competition.
"Dr. Zhou, it's been nearly two years. How about we take this rare opportunity to compare our skills?"
"Hehe, I don't mind!"
Zhou Can was never afraid of anyone.
He also wanted to see how much Gao Jian's medical skills had improved in nearly two years.
He felt that Gao Jian was much more pragmatic than Du Leng.
And certainly, his abilities must be much stronger than Du Leng's.
This woman's disease tended toward internal medicine, and Gao Jian's main training direction was specifically in internal medicine. So to a certain degree, Gao Jian had an advantage over Zhou Can.
Because Zhou Can had spent the last year and a half rotating through various surgical departments.
And it had only been about two months since he officially started the internal medicine training program.
The four began to examine the woman's medical records and condition.
A year ago, this woman had uterine bleeding and had a curettage procedure done at the local county hospital, with the pathology showing endometrial tissue scrapings. Since then, she has not menstruated again.
Less than six months later, she experienced symptoms of significant polyuria, thirst, polydipsia, and fatigue.
The maximum amount of water she drank in one day reached 20 liters.
At night, she nearly had to get up to urinate every hour or two.
And she developed a preference for drinking cold water.
She was diagnosed with diabetes after having a steamed bun meal test at the Provincial People's Hospital.
The doctors at the Provincial People's Hospital prescribed Rigener and Acarbose for treatment. After taking the medication for a while, feeling no effect, she stopped the medication on her own.
This went on for several months at home, during which her diet was uncontrolled; she reported persistent froth in her urine, but no urgency or pain was experienced.
About a few months ago, she began to experience pruritus of the vulva and increased discharge.
Even more concerning, she started showing signs of consciousness disturbance in the past couple of months, slow reactions, occasionally being unable to communicate. Sometimes, her consciousness disturbance was so severe that she would wet herself.
Worried that his wife's condition might deteriorate further if left untreated, the husband hurriedly brought her back to the hospital for treatment.
They first returned to the Provincial People's Hospital.
In the minds of many ordinary people, the People's Hospital is a good hospital that serves the populace, offering affordable prices and guaranteed quality of medical care.
