Chapter 287: Four-Year Girlfriend Turns Out to Be a Man, Speak Up Quickly_3
"Xiao Yan, no matter what, I will always be by your side." The boyfriend reached out to support the shoulders of the female patient, but she subconsciously avoided him.
She was greatly shocked to learn that she was actually male.
She needed some time to adapt.
"Doctor, how much will the surgery cost?" The girl was actually thinking about the cost of the surgery.
"It's hard to say, generally it should be around ten thousand yuan. If it's just the removal of the atrophied testicle, a few thousand yuan would be enough. If you need to restore male identity, the surgery is more complex and the cost might be higher. Also, there will be no fertility either way."
Director Zhang estimated the treatment costs for her.
Androgen insensitivity syndrome, some people's social gender is male, this can be addressed with surgery to repair hypospadias and reconstruct male urethra.
But there will not be any fertility.
And that aspect of function will also not be normal.
Medically, it is generally advisable to become female after surgery, apart from infertility, all other aspects are very close to those of females. This is most beneficial for the patients' future life.
"I don't have enough money right now, can I call my mom, gather enough money and then get hospitalized for treatment?"
"Of course. This decision relates to the rest of your life, there is no need to rush. Think about it yourself, communicate with your parents more, and once it's decided, you can undergo surgery."
Director Zhang gently told her.
"Xiao Yan, no matter how much the surgery costs, I will pay." The boyfriend said at her side.
"I need some time to calm down, can you please not disturb me for a while?" The female patient was very cold towards her boyfriend.
Zhou Can thought to himself, could it be that this patient wants to restore her male identity through surgery?
This is the patient's own choice, no one has the right to interfere.
Today, he actually encountered such a patient, which was an eye-opener for him.
After sending off this 'female' patient, Zhou Can returned to his idle, leisurely state. It couldn't be helped, hosting such a specialist clinic, Deputy Director Shi's recognition wasn't prominent, and his expertise wasn't stunning enough to dazzle patients and their families, sitting idle was quite normal.
Across more than ten meters away at the corner of the wall, the female reporter Mu Qin successfully dug up a decent piece of news, and she was in a good mood.
This time, her superiors sent her here to do a special report, mainly to help promote Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital.
The case of the lymphoma patient was a good promotional point.
She felt it was very cautionary.
"Old Qin, I asked you to inquire about that Dr. Zhou's background, did you get anything?" Mu Qin asked the photographer.
"When have I ever let you down with tasks you assign me? Here, I've got everything. I'll send it to your mobile, you can read it at your leisure!" Old Qin operated his mobile while adding, "Mu Qin, I really admire your sharp sight, it's deadly. I also checked up on Dr. Du, you know what?"
"Stop keeping me in suspense, speak up!"
Mu Qin urged impatiently.
"I was thinking of swindling you for a supper treat again, but never mind that, we're old partners after all, one message buys another free. Why do I say I admire your sight? Because that doctor who returned from abroad is all bark and no bite, apparently his performance at Tuya Hospital wasn't as good as expected. He's just relying on his fame from a foreign university, getting more attention from the hospital than an ordinary young doctor. However, he's not completely useless, he's very skilled at writing medical papers. Within less than two years working at Tuya Hospital, he has published several SCI medical papers, including one on digital surgical medicine which has quite some impact."
Old Qin spilled all the information he had learned about Du Leng.
"So, his talent is quite decent, just more academically inclined, right?"
Mu Qin summarized after hearing.
"Pretty much. I also heard that he quarreled with a patient's family member while diagnosing here yesterday. He failed to diagnose several patients correctly, always asking them to take various tests. The family members finally had enough and accused him of being a fake doctor with a purchased degree."
Old Qin whispered.
"There was such an incident! No wonder I was blocked by Director Tang of Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital when I previously tried to interview Dr. Du." Mu Qin showed a sudden realization.
Looking at Du Leng again, her face no longer held the previous admiration.
People are like this, very easily influenced by others' words, changing their impression of another person.
Otherwise, why would they say rumors are fearsome!
The ancients said, better to offend a nobleman than a villain.
Because if you offend a villain, he will badmouth you everywhere, severely affecting your social interactions.
Especially in a workplace or a particular industry that is already a small circle. Being splashed with mud by someone else, one can only imagine the consequences.
Without a bit of great wisdom and tactics, truly not a match for those villains.
Moreover, villains are first-rate at stabbing in the back, making them hard to guard against.
"There's even more explosive news! The Dr. Zhou Can you're interested in is really incredible. Those difficult cases that Du Leng couldn't diagnose yesterday, two of them were diagnosed by Dr. Zhou. Also, the case of the child with bronchitis that was successfully resuscitated yesterday sent by the Xinxiang Women and Children's Hospital, according to insider information, was also saved by Dr. Zhou Can in a critical moment by extracting a scab from the trachea."
Old Qin was truly impressive at gathering news.
In a very short span of time, he managed to dig up so much inside information.
"So it seems, I was wondering how a mere resident could be mentioned alongside two chief physicians in the promotional materials. At that time, I thought this guy must be a high official's second generation, or something like a hospital director's son. Now it turns out, he's a young doctor with real skills."
Mu Qin became even more interested in Zhou Can.
"Heh heh, you think that's all his achievements? There's even more!"
Old Qin laughed smugly.
"Come on, stop keeping me in suspense, watch out or I won't treat you to a big meal." She urged again.
