Chapter 283: Terrified Directors, Young Woman with Stomach Pain_3
Even eating overly spicy food or stimulating food can cause abdominal pain.
Generally speaking, abdominal pain can slowly recover through rest and excretion.
The safety index of abdominal pain is much higher than that of chest pain.
Experiencing chest pain, especially persistent chest pain, is extremely dangerous.
Larger hospitals establish specialized chest pain centers and create green channels for patients with chest pain to prevent death due to delayed rescue.
Because the risk of abdominal pain is lower, Zhou Can did not rush over immediately, but instead, he observed the woman's reaction while eating breakfast.
Time passed little by little.
The woman's boyfriend was comforting her with concern the whole time. It was clear that this young couple was very affectionate.
After a while, the woman's pain symptoms did not seem to lessen; on the contrary, they intensified.
Her complexion turned pale, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Her lips were also frighteningly pale.
Zhou Can's expression became a bit more solemn. Considering that the couple might have had intimate activities last night after checking into the hotel, it's possible that if the process was too intense, or if it was the woman's first time, severe bleeding could easily occur.
Her pale complexion could be caused by intense pain or by excessive blood loss.
Zhou Can subconsciously looked at the woman's pants, which were jeans, and did not see any significant blood stains.
Generally speaking, if blood stains were visible through the pants, the bleeding would definitely be severe.
By now, he had finished his breakfast and stood up to walk toward the couple.
"Hello, I am a doctor. I noticed your abdomen seemed to be in great pain, is everything alright?" Zhou Can asked kindly.
The man gave Zhou Can a look and his face showed relief.
"You're a doctor? That's great! My girlfriend has been having abdominal pain since she woke up this morning. We thought it was just hunger pain. But even after eating a bit here, the pain persists. She hasn't eaten much and can barely eat. She keeps saying her stomach hurts."
The man was about twenty years old, his face still youthful.
The woman was also of similar age, around nineteen to twenty, very young.
She was biting her lips tightly, her brows deeply furrowed, clearly the abdominal pain was getting worse.
"Have you experienced similar abdominal pain before?" Zhou Can asked the woman.
"Occasionally, but it usually goes away quickly. This time it has lasted a long time and it's very painful, like there's a knife cutting inside my stomach."
The woman's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
"Would it be possible for you to lean back slightly so I can press on your abdomen to determine the area of pain?" Zhou Can would definitely need to seek her permission. Otherwise, reaching directly for the girl's abdomen in front of her boyfriend could result in chairs and dishes flying towards his head.
The woman hesitantly looked at her boyfriend.
"He's a doctor, let him check it, it's okay," the boyfriend agreed quite generously.
The woman leaned back, exposing her abdomen as much as possible.
Zhou Can lifted her outer garment and, through a layer of clothing, began to press on various areas of the abdomen.
Ideally, it would be best to lift the inner clothing as well, but considering the gender difference and that the severity of her condition hadn't reached an extremely dangerous level, Zhou Can did not do so.
The behavior of a doctor must be dignified and steady.
Otherwise, it can easily lead to dissatisfaction from relatives and even loss of trust from patients and their families.
Once trust is lost, normal diagnostic and treatment work cannot continue.
Because whatever the doctor does, the patients and their families might think the worst.
For example, if a doctor measures a female patient's heart rate, she might think, "Is this doctor trying to take advantage of me?"
If a doctor prescribes imported medicine to ensure effectiveness, the patient might think, "This medicine isn't cheap. The doctor is definitely not prescribing cheaper domestic drugs deliberately, trying to make a dishonest profit."
Imagine, in such a state, can the medical treatment continue?
It's likely that the hospital's complaint line would be overwhelmed.
So, doctors must pay attention to their behavior. Only by establishing a positive image can they gain the trust of patients and their families and smoothly carry out various diagnostic and treatment activities.
Sometimes, trust can even determine the success of treatment.
For example, if a high-risk surgery is needed, without complete trust in the doctor, the patient definitely won't agree.
And there are patients with very difficult conditions, seeing whom can even cause doctors to headache and contemplate giving up. But if the patient greatly trusts the doctor and always maintains hope, the doctor, influenced by this, will continue to treat under pressure. Ultimately, the patient's condition is cured, creating a medical miracle.
Such cases are numerous and not few.
When Zhou Can pressed the area above the navel, it felt soft, but on the left abdomen, below the navel area, it felt tense when pressed. There are many reasons that can cause muscle tension, the most common being pain.
This can cause muscle tension.
"Pain, pain..."
The woman cried out in pain, it seemed he had pressed the right spot.
"Bear with it for a moment, I don't think this is the actual site of the lesion."
Zhou Can's hand continued to move downward.
The boyfriend's expression changed slightly as he saw Zhou Can's hand approaching the groin area, nearing the root of her thigh.
