The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: Overindulgence Is Harmful

Upon hearing Su Wenhao’s slightly panicked shout, Liu Banxia approached the patient’s examination bed. After seeing the situation clearly, he too took a sharp breath.

The patient’s left forearm was covered in densely clustered needle marks.

"Good grief, while we were studying, they just dropped a bomb on us," Liu Banxia said.

"Everyone who has had contact with the patient, go and do a thorough cleaning yourselves. Then conduct the corresponding tests on the patient to check for HIV or other diseases."

"Doctor Xu, should we consider using vancomycin for the patient now? I feel there’s a higher possibility of Staphylococcus aureus."

Xu Guosheng nodded solemnly, "It really is a bombshell; administer the medication first. Then send him directly to the ICU, afraid there might be other complications."

The nurses nearby quickly ran to the bathroom for disinfection; this patient is truly a "bombshell level." He is an injection user, commonly referred to as a drug user.

This is the second time Liu Banxia has encountered such a patient, but it’s the first for one of this kind. Although there are similar individuals in the country, they are not so commonly seen.

And because these individuals often share equipment, they might carry a multitude of diseases.

"Also, cut some hair to send to the lab. If it’s positive, report directly to the police. Su Wenhao, you must explain clearly to his parents," Liu Banxia added.

Su Wenhao nodded, realizing it was indeed quite dangerous.

"I truly didn’t expect this; it’s been many years since I’ve seen a case like this, the last was probably six or seven years ago," Xu Guosheng remarked.

"Let’s see what the test results show later, what if we got it wrong?" Liu Banxia said with a bitter smile.

He knew the chance of being wrong was very low.

After all, such dense needle marks are only something drug users would do. Ordinarily, who would do this?

"Doctor, doctor, could we be wrong?" At this moment, the patient’s parents rushed to Liu Banxia’s side.

"Currently, we cannot completely confirm, but we’ve started testing. Haven’t you noticed any abnormal signs before?" Liu Banxia asked.

"No, everything has always been normal," the patient’s mother replied.

"Then we’ll wait for the result, and then decide how to react," Liu Banxia said.

"Actually, I hope he’s perfectly fine, but if it’s unfortunate, everyone who’s had recent contact with him should undergo corresponding tests to ensure safety."

"Don’t get upset now; we’ve already expedited the process. His condition is an expression of symptoms caused by endocarditis, so we’ll administer antibiotics and move him to the ICU for treatment."

Regardless of whether these two genuinely don’t know or pretend not to know, he wouldn’t overly get involved, as it’s not his responsibility. His main duty is to treat the illness.

However, according to regulations, if it is indeed positive, it must be separately reported.

A rule is a rule; no matter who it is, such a case must be reported.

The remaining treatment is up to the ICU. For now, administering vancomycin is the best choice due to the presence of Staphylococcus aureus on the skin.

It’s likely that while injecting himself, he introduced the bacteria.

"Teacher Liu, this is my fault. If I had been more thorough during admission, I might have noticed the condition of the patient’s left arm earlier," Su Wenhao said.

"Looking back, during the initial blood draw, he initially extended his left arm, but then claimed he was left-handed and switched to his right arm. I should have thought more about it then."

"Nonsense, even if it were me admitting him, I wouldn’t have thought of this situation," Liu Banxia replied.

"He must have had his suspicions, that’s why he came to the hospital. But he certainly knows if this is discovered by us, the police will be notified."

"But next it’s troublesome; I’m afraid our anesthetics won’t work well for him. It’s up to the ICU now; this is all we can do."

This is also why he said it was a bombshell, as such individuals are even more resistant to anesthetics than alcoholics.

Now, he needs intubation and a ventilator to maintain blood oxygen levels. It’s a test for the ICU staff; they definitely need to consult the anesthesiology department.

He doesn’t want Su Wenhao to feel guilty, as the patient’s condition isn’t related to him.

Encountering patients who intentionally hide such things, if you inquire too much, they will find an opportunity to escape. This happened after he began experiencing breathing difficulties and lost consciousness; otherwise, today could’ve been uncertain.

Ordinary blood tests can’t detect HIV or other infectious diseases.

After waiting a while longer, the results of the blood and drug tests were out. HIV-positive, syphilis-positive, drug test positive.

The feared has come; all that was bound to come has arrived.

"Have you notified the ICU?" Liu Banxia asked.

Su Wenhao nodded, "The ICU plans to do a lumbar puncture to test the cerebrospinal fluid to see if it’s latent syphilis. It might also be because the time of HIV carriage is not very long, so the syphilis hasn’t really erupted yet."

"This young man, he’s truly so careless with himself." Liu Banxia lamented.

"For that old couple, this is really a hard time. They just wished for a son, finally had a son, and now they’ve encountered such a thing."

"Teacher Liu, I just heard, this is the consequence of a family’s overindulgence." Xu Yino came over.

"Goodness, have you really inherited Wang Chao’s mantle?" Liu Banxia asked helplessly.

"There’s no way, this patient is the hot topic now." Xu Yino said.

"Parents pampering, two sisters pampering. They say they went out to work, but actually, it’s all financed by the family. Whether he actually worked, nobody knows."

"His second sister is somewhat clear-headed and doesn’t pamper him as much as his parents and eldest sister. She occasionally gives him money, but not much. So, my apprentice brother and sister, you and Teacher’s wife must nurture well."

Liu Banxia rolled his eyes, "Do you think I have much say in their education? I’m just here to watch the show."

"Teacher Liu, really?" Su Wenhao asked, surprised.

Because, from his perspective, Liu Banxia is quite adept at guiding people; otherwise, they wouldn’t be as they are now.

"It’s different, being a person and learning skills are two separate things. Moreover, you can listen to me, if these two young ones cause trouble in the future, do you think with my current work schedule, I have much time to manage them?" Liu Banxia retorted.

"But it’s okay, Qiaoqiao is not an easy person either. Don’t be fooled by how concerned she is about them; they won’t take the wrong path in the future."

"They are definitely pampered, their status in the family is much higher than mine. My future pressures are great too, it’s somewhat distressing thinking about it."

Xu Yino laughed, she didn’t see what’s wrong, just thought it was fun.

She has also witnessed the prestige of those two little guys, they indeed have reach a level of dominance.

"Teacher Liu, actually their family’s condition isn’t particularly good, like those multimillionaires or billionaires." Xu Yino continued.

"But I don’t quite understand, just because he’s a boy, does he deserve so much? Not just the parents, the two sisters also offer help."

"Isn’t this normal? Otherwise, why would there be ’brother-supporting demons’ in the world?" Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Every family’s situation is different, but this is also their family matter. We don’t need to discuss it too much; just take it as a warning."

"By the way, did that old lady who upset herself into a heart attack reach a settlement with that girl’s family last time? I heard there was another mediation?"

"No, the other party’s response was simple, just wait for them to sue. They will accept whatever the court decides they have to compensate, but they don’t want to deal with them now." Xu Yino said.

"I think this is how a family should really be. When a child encounters something, the parents should proactively step up. Instead of blaming right away, since it’s already happened, just resolve it."

"Comrade Su, you’re here, so you should wrap up the remaining matters? But it’s just introducing the situation, nothing to do with us, right?"

Everyone followed Xu Yino’s gaze, two police officers were entering through the door.

Su Wenhao looked at Liu Banxia.

"Just explain the situation normally. We’re just reporting according to regulations." Liu Banxia said.

Su Wenhao nodded and quickly went to greet them.

In fact, Liu Banxia was rather emotional inside; if this family hadn’t indulged their only son, he absolutely wouldn’t have gone down this path.

Seriously speaking, those who engage in this need some financial strength and connections. Otherwise, it’s impossible for ordinary people to whimsically want to play a game.

The family’s indulgence coupled with his poor choice of friends resulted in the bitter fruit he can only swallow himself.

Future treatment costs won’t be low, and the level of care provided is very high.

He also reminded himself that in the future, during the growth of the two babies, he must try to be involved as much as possible, no matter how busy work is.

Upon discovering bad signs, they must be nipped in the bud quickly.

In fact, he hasn’t seen few cases, and it’s not that he hasn’t encountered drug users, but last time’s car accident case was still very different from this one.

That one played with powder, this one probably has already upgraded to needles, and has harmed his body like this.

But the common point of these two patients is the family’s overindulgence.

You can give all the love to your children, but overindulgence must be avoided. Otherwise, during their growth, the children won’t know what should not be done.
