Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213: Want to Slack Off? Too Difficult
(Thank you Lu Hongzhang for the encouragement with the monthly pass)
"Everyone, pep up! Although some patients may choose to visit the hospital after the festive season, we can’t avoid trauma patients coming in for treatment."
Liu Banxia clapped his hands, gathering all the people from Section Two.
"Next comes the peak of return trips. Now there are more private cars, so traffic accidents are more likely to happen. At this critical moment, they are usually pile-ups."
"Currently, we have fifteen inpatients in Section Two, and it’s expected that eight will be discharged in the next couple of days. That means at least seven will remain in the hospital for the New Year."
"As per our old tradition, even if they’re in the hospital, everyone should have a good New Year. Anything beneficial for the patients’ recovery, we must do."
"So the tasks ahead are twofold: First, take good care of our patients in Section Two; second, assist the downstairs staff in handling admissions."
"Another piece of good news is that this year’s menu seems richer than last year’s. You folks are quite tricky, changing around the dishes."
Everyone laughed.
Last year was a bit inexperienced, so this year they’ve been particularly attentive in compiling the menu.
And it’s not just the staff; the patients staying for New Year can also order meals.
In any case, Zhou Qiang has already decided to make this New Year a bit more tiring, but he’s committed to improving the meals for the staff and patients at the hospital.
"Alright, that’s basically it. I also have to step out at noon. If you have any issues, look for President Qi," Liu Banxia said.
"Teacher Liu, don’t worry, you must discuss things properly with Chief Director Xu," Liu Yiqing said.
"That’s necessary. Alright, everyone get back to what they’re supposed to be doing. How’s the new software? Lin Chenglin mentioned that if there’s anything unsatisfactory, we can continue to adjust it," Liu Banxia asked.
"This new software is very handy, and all options can be combined and filtered. Plus, it’s online, it’s really great," Xu Yino replied.
"But this thing needs to be on all the time, is it called NAS or NSA?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Whatever it’s called, as long as it’s useful," Liu Yiqing said indifferently.
"The data is already input, and we can use it as needed. This is our valuable wealth, we’re depending on it for the rest of our lives."
"It sounds exaggerated, but when organizing data, always think about analyzing data. See if we can find any patterns or new discoveries in the data, so your papers have value," Liu Banxia said.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Those who need to go downstairs for admissions should do so. After the New Year, I’ll arrange vacations for all of you, especially Su Wenhao, you should go home and take a look."
"Teacher Liu, it’s actually okay, I often video call with my family," Su Wenhao quickly said.
"Returning home triumphantly, I tried it last time and it was great, you should enjoy it. It’s happily decided, no objections allowed," Liu Banxia waved his hand.
Everyone laughed; whether he wants to or not, Su Wenhao has to take the vacation.
Liu Banxia didn’t bother with them, he leisurely walked to the admissions hall on the first floor.
These days passed quite quickly, and Section Two finally has its own patients.
Considering there are so many patients even around the New Year, one can imagine how many more will come after the New Year.
It happens that Chief Director Xu is coming to the city for a meeting today, so they can have a small gathering at noon to discuss future collaboration between the two hospitals.
"My goodness, are the people in Section Two always so energetic every day?" Qi Wentai asked with a smile.
"That’s a must; you need passion for work to serve every patient well," Liu Banxia replied with a smile.
"Really hope the next few days can be peaceful. We should have a peaceful New Year after working hard for so long, it’s time for some rest."
"President Qi, two car accident patients are being brought over immediately. The driver is unconscious with a broken left arm, no severe trauma observed. The other has an abdominal contusion and a fractured right femur."
Just as Liu Banxia finished speaking, the triage nurse shouted.
"My goodness, now I’m really afraid to say anything rash," Liu Banxia said with a bitter smile.
"What can we do, do you want to handle it?" Qi Wentai asked.
"Let them handle admissions, I’ll just supervise," Liu Banxia said.
"Su Wenhao, Huang Bo, soon two car accident patients will arrive, they’re in your hands. One has no severe trauma observed, the other has a fractured femur and abdominal contusion," Qi Wentai shouted.
"Okay."
Su Wenhao and Huang Bo answered in unison, starting to prepare for admissions.
With the "no severe trauma observed" hint, there’s no need to prepare for blood transfusion.
But for the one with the abdominal contusion, they have to base it on the situation.
After waiting a while, the patients were brought in.
"Blood pressure 130/90, heart rate 100. Unconscious at the scene, fractured radial bone in the left arm, head laceration, chest contusion," said the paramedic.
"Rescue Room One, need to check the condition of his sternum and cervical vertebrae. Have you contacted the family?" Su Wenhao asked.
"The traffic police are contacting them."
"Blood pressure 140/80, heart rate 120. Abdominal distention, fractured femur in the right leg."
The paramedic from the following vehicle also brought the patient down.
"Rescue Room Two, don’t be nervous, we’re in the hospital now, we’ll examine you immediately," Huang Bo said.
"Doctor, I won’t die, right?" the patient asked.
"Let’s run some tests to find out. Don’t be so nervous, your vital signs are good at the moment." Huang Bo reassured.
With such a high heart rate, it’s crucial to help the patient calm their emotions, otherwise it might trigger other conditions.
Liu Banxia glanced, then walked into the Emergency Room One.
"One, two, three, move the bed."
Upon arriving at the emergency room, Su Wenhao said.
"Connect the electrocardiogram, take blood samples, establish IV access, I’ll perform the physical examination. Don’t touch the neck brace until we confirm the cervical spine is intact before removing it."
"The head lacerations aren’t severe, pupil reactions are normal, heart and lung sounds are normal upon auscultation. The abdomen is soft, seems quite lucky, let’s do an ultrasound first. How is the blood oxygen?"
"Blood pressure 130/90, heart rate 80, blood oxygen 100," the nurse said.
"Seems like they were just startled by the car accident. Currently, the abdomen shows no issues, apart from some seatbelt injuries on the chest, nothing else concerning."
Su Wenhao said while performing the ultrasound.
At this moment, the patient slowly opened their eyes.
"Don’t worry, you had a car accident and are now in the hospital. We just did a check-up, most things are normal. Does your neck hurt now?" Su Wenhao asked.
"My neck doesn’t hurt, just feeling a bit dizzy," the patient replied.
"I’ll check your cervical spine now," Su Wenhao said.
The patient awoke just in time; if they had remained unconscious, a cervical spine CT would have been necessary.
Testing showed normal movement left to right, up and down, indicating no issues.
"Doctor, how is the person I collided with?" the patient asked.
"I’m not quite sure yet, but they’re also at our hospital. I see you have some swelling on your left forehead, probably from a bump. Next, we’ll need a head CT, if all is clear, we can stabilize the arm fracture directly," Su Wenhao said.
The patient nodded and closed their eyes.
The patient was then wheeled out, if there’s nothing wrong with the head, the following step would be for orthopedics.
"How’s this patient of yours?"
Walking out of the emergency room, Liu Banxia casually asked upon seeing Huang Bo.
"Sent for abdominal and head CT, might need surgery, the spleen isn’t looking good," Huang Bo said.
Liu Banxia nodded.
With a fractured femur, it shows the impact was significant. Whether the spleen can be preserved is really uncertain.
"When it’s time for surgery, can you handle the femur fracture?" Wu Mingyu asked with a smile.
"What are you doing?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.
"There’s a follow-up patient and another with a plate removal, I’m worried I can’t manage it all," Wu Mingyu said.
Liu Banxia nodded, "Alright, had I known earlier, I would have repositioned it first. Charge me, can’t work for free."
"Sure, put it on the tab."
Wu Mingyu left a sentence and dashed away.
Orthopedics are different from other departments, many patients have implants post-fracture to facilitate recovery. But they can’t keep them indefinitely, so they need to be removed.
That’s why this department is usually quite busy every day, as many patients can’t be handled in just one visit.
"Another heart attack patient was just brought in, aggravated by anger. During the New Year, why can’t people just be happy? Always arguing," Qi Wentai said.
"Why was that? Although emotional agitation can trigger a heart attack, it’s not common," Liu Banxia asked curiously.
"It was about giving up a seat on the subway, and there were some disputes. This sort of thing, it’s really hard to say now," Qi Wentai said.
"Anyway, when I’m on the subway, unless there’s a whole row to sit, I’d rather stand to avoid the hassle of offering seats back and forth. That young woman is still over there; Liu Yiqing just consoled her."
Liu Banxia looked over, seeing a young woman in her twenties sitting and wiping tears, with a policeman beside taking notes.
These incidents are too frequent and have become a societal phenomenon.
Are the old turning bad or are bad people becoming old, it’s a timeless topic that will persist for a long time.
"Teacher Liu, we need to operate—the patient’s spleen is severely bleeding and needs to be removed," Huang Bo came running over.
"Have you contacted the family?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Yes, I’ve gotten authorization, they’re on their way here," Huang Bo said.
"Alright, you handle the spleen, I’ll deal with the fracture," Liu Banxia nodded.
"President Qi, look after that girl. Otherwise, when the patient’s family arrives, even with the police, they’ll probably cause a commotion."
"No worries," Qi Wentai said.
This situation definitely needs some precaution, regardless of the family or personality, knowing the current situation will surely lead to emotional distress.
Liu Banxia stretched his neck, this is just typical work life, trying to slack off? Too difficult.
