The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: Could It Really Be Heart Disease?

(Thanks to Damian Lone Wolf, Theology Student, Panda, Yunxiao Tian Qiong for encouraging with Glory Points)

For the six newcomers, the project promoted by Liu Banxia will not only provide them with strong financial support but also greatly assist in their development.

Because they just signed the contract as resident doctors and are now involved in the NOSES surgery project, they will especially play a key role in future joint promotional activities.

This isn’t a secret, and before lunchtime, it had already spread in the emergency center.

Many people are really envious; the six newcomers are lucky, they’ve come at the right time and are with the right person.

But the skill of medicine is not something you can master just out of envy. You need to have talent in this area and be willing to endure hardship. This hardship is something that many people might not be able to handle.

Liu Banxia walked out of his office, and currently, there are no patients on his floor, making it seem somewhat quiet.

However, this is also a gesture of goodwill from everyone, allowing them to relax a bit during this period. So even if there are patients needing surgery, they are all arranged in Section One.

But starting today, this care will no longer be available, and if any patients received by the six newcomers require general surgery intervention, they will be directly admitted to Section Two.

With the emergency center’s current intake capacity at Hospital Two, how could it possibly remain idle? It’s just that Section One is currently the main intake unit.

Just as he arrived at the reception hall downstairs, Wang Chao waved at him again.

"What’s up? You can’t be thinking about it so quickly, can you?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

"I wouldn’t waste brain cells on that, whatever happens, happens, I’ll just follow you," Wang Chao said.

"Work more, earn more; work less, earn less; no work, no gain," Liu Banxia said with a serious face.

"You think I’ll fall for that? I’m still your Section Two’s unofficial member here," Wang Chao said.

"Haha, then you’ll have to help us cover the night shifts in future work. What do you need from me?" Liu Banxia said happily.

"Nothing much, just wanted to tell you, you need to work it out yourself; my brain can’t handle it," Wang Chao said.

"This matter involves too much, and the hospitals you’re promoting will certainly be familiar local hospitals, which adds personal feelings to the mix. It wouldn’t work well with anyone else."

Liu Banxia nodded, "Our first choices are Jinshui District Hospital and our hometown’s city hospital. But the specific cooperation details are indeed complicated, it’s making my head hurt."

"I’m not kidding, when we have time, we really need to get together and discuss it thoroughly. And it also needs to involve other surgeries, you need to keep it tight."

Wang Chao nodded, also understanding that what Liu Banxia said was true.

Liu Banxia won’t let the emergency center people suffer a loss; he’s leading the project, so everyone will benefit along with him.

But one thing is most fundamental: your medical skills must be exceptional. At that time, whether you’re guiding a surgery or demonstrating one, if you’re not as good as the local hospital’s doctors, isn’t it like offering your face to be slapped?

In this aspect, he is indeed still lacking.

If he weren’t the resident chief, he could of course free up time to focus on surgery. But the benefits of being the resident chief are more, even if it’s a bit tiring, it’s worth it.

From now on, he must work hard to improve his surgical skills as much as possible.

This way, Liu Banxia can take him flying; otherwise, he truly can’t take flight.

"Teacher Liu, the patient I just admitted has a complicated situation, could you help me take a look?" At this moment, Li Hao came over.

"What exactly is the situation?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Patient, a 23-year-old male, complaining of a cold during the visit. The medical history is about two weeks, and he also experienced diarrhea. Nausea, vomiting, low fever, fatigue, and shivering. Just now, when I listened to his lungs, the breath sound was somewhat poor, and the patient shows signs of heavy breathing," Li Hao said.

"No coughing symptoms, but there is chest tightness. He has taken cold medicine and antibiotics at home, but since there was no improvement, he came here. ECG was performed and showed negative results."

Liu Banxia nodded, "Did you call me because there’s something you couldn’t figure out? What tests have been done?"

"Blood routine and blood biochemistry have been done since the lung breath sound is weak and the patient has heavy breathing symptoms, I’ve also ordered a chest CT," Li Hao said.

"Currently, the CT results are not out yet, but as I recalled, I felt the patient’s symptoms didn’t resemble those of an upper respiratory tract infection."

"But the patient doesn’t have gastroenteritis and is no longer having diarrhea. With nausea, vomiting, and breathing difficulties, I feel it might be a heart or brain issue."

"Without test results, having such a direction of judgment for the symptoms is normal. This patient indeed should be given more attention," Liu Banxia said.

"We’ll review the test results later, often causes related to the heart can indeed result in these symptoms. The key is the low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood; let’s wait and see."

"Thank you, Teacher Liu," Li Hao promptly said.

"Your approach is correct, when you find that you cannot make a clear judgment, you need to seek help," Liu Banxia said.

"But finding someone is one thing; we can’t just hand over everything and ignore it. We still need to consider this patient’s condition and infer possible causes based on the examination results."

"Our consultations often involve mutual discussions. Just because we’re the primary doctors, it doesn’t mean we can solve every condition. We’re not that divine."

Li Hao nodded with a smile, "Anyway, I always set a caution line for patients with acute abdominal pain, chest pain, high fever, and breathing difficulties. Such patients’ conditions can change quickly and catch you off guard."

"Exactly, you heard from Xu Yino, right? We encountered a patient with heart attack-induced abdominal pain while on a business trip. Fortunately, it was in the hospital, and their timely intervention saved him," Liu Banxia said.

"No patient is a small matter; any situation that remains elusive deserves our careful scrutiny. As doctors, there’s no such thing as being too cautious."

"Teacher Liu, I’ll come to you once the patient’s test results are out," Li Hao said.

Liu Banxia nodded.

"I must say, each of those six has performed quite well. I feel like I’ve just got a few more years of experience than them, but not necessarily better," Wang Chao said with emotion.

"Nonsense," Liu Banxia rolled his eyes at him.

"How many patients have you attended to, compared to them? I believe that for us doctors, the first ten years are a critical period."

"Much of the knowledge we learn from books gets validated with so many patients and various complex conditions. To us, they are invaluable resources."

"If you want to enhance your skills in this area, learn from me, and review cases whenever you have no surgery. Unfortunately, when it comes to surgical practice, beyond more practice and watching videos, nothing else works."

That’s his insight, I suppose. Even with the system, he never stopped learning. Without learning, nothing works, and even a system would be useless.

Because what the system offers is physical enhancement and more time for learning, but the knowledge from diagnosing patients and surgical operations is not provided by the system.

He has to explore, accumulate, and learn by himself. Had he not spent a great amount of Glory Points on learning in the dream space, how could his surgical skills be so precise?

The surgeries he’s proficient in, which procedure hasn’t been practiced dozens or even hundreds of times?

For a truly new doctor, how could one have such a high number of surgeries in such a short time?

That’s why colleagues at the second hospital often have the illusion that every few days without seeing him, Liu Banxia seems more skilled in surgeries.

Because people only see his glory on stage, never the hard work off stage.

Of course, no one would believe even if he explained it; people would consider it nonsense.

"Is your project only related to general surgery?" At this time, Chen Xuehai also walked over.

"What, you interested? But does your cardiothoracic department have that much time?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"Not currently, but there will be in the future," Chen Xuehai said seriously.

"Haha, no worries, let us test the waters first and see how it goes," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"I don’t have a detailed idea in my head yet; I was just discussing a general direction with Wang Chao. We’ll need to continue discussing it."

"I’m thinking of inviting Chief Director Xu for a meal when there’s time. If you’re interested, let’s all have a good discussion then."

"We’ll see, considering our current staffing isn’t enough. Right now, it’s just your general surgery that can unfold," Chen Xuehai said.

"However, we do have many cardiac patients that cardiology helps share the workload, which eases our burden significantly. Otherwise, we’d be overwhelmed already."

"Anyway, just keep us in mind in cardiothoracic whenever there’s a chance. Although we’re small in numbers, we’re all elite troops. We may not be able to spare anyone now, but we will gradually expand."

His words amused both Liu Banxia and Wang Chao.

Because this is an emergency center, the general surgery department’s configuration is somewhat over-standard. Normally, an emergency department wouldn’t have so many general surgeons.

Currently, general surgery is strong and numerous, while other departments appear small and weak.

"Teacher Liu, the patient’s blood test and CT results are out," at this point, Li Hao ran over.

"That fast?" Liu Banxia asked in surprise.

"Well, I asked the lab for help, and the platelet count in the blood test is 80. The CT scan hasn’t come out yet, but when I took the scan, I noticed slight inflammation in the lungs," Li Hao reported.

"Now the patient’s breathing has worsened since just now. I’ve already put an oxygen mask on him, but it feels like something’s really wrong."

Liu Banxia frowned; indeed, there was an issue. Slight inflammation shouldn’t cause such severe breathing difficulty.

Factors that affect breathing are often the lungs and the heart.

Could it be a latent heart disease?
