Chapter 278 Responsibility to Patients
After prescribing the medicine for the professor and giving Dr. Lin a few words of advice, Wei Ping then told the interns about the precautions.
Cui Ying was waiting outside the door, but Wei Ping didn't notice her.
At this time, Wei Ping discovered her.
And walked out.
"Cui Ying, are you on duty today?"
"Yes, Dr. Wei hasn't come to the inpatient department for a long time." Cui Ying said.
"Yeah, these past few days, with all the moving and live streaming, I feel like I have no time at all."
"Then you should have a good rest and don't get too tired." Cui Ying said again, her tone full of concern.
Several interns were whispering in the background, probably speculating about the relationship between the two.
There are always rumors circulating in this hospital. Doctors lead relatively simple lives and their social circles are relatively small, so any incidents they encounter often spark people's imaginations.
Just as Wei Ping was about to say something, the phone rang again.
It’s Sister Pan calling.
"What happened to Sister Pan?"
"There's a female patient in the emergency room who specifically asked you to see her. She says she has diarrhea!"
For ordinary people, diarrhea can be cured by seeing a doctor and taking some medicine. If you go to the hospital, the condition will be more serious.
Especially since it was specifically requested that Wei Ping look at it, it must not be simple.
"Okay, I got it! I'll be there now!"
Wei Ping replied.
At this time, Cui Ying asked: "Is there another patient?"
"Yes, I have patients to treat, so I'll leave first!"
"good!"
"Come with me to the emergency department!" Wei Ping said to the interns again.
"good."
So, the group went down to the emergency department again.
Cui Ying looked at Wei Ping's receding figure.
At this time, two nurses came over.
They said, "Dr. Wei is very busy now!"
"Yes, and he's a big name in our hospital right now. Cui Ying, you'd better seize the opportunity. As far as I know, several single female doctors have expressed their desire to be transferred to the emergency department!"
"What are you talking about..." Cui Ying said.
"Cui Ying is so anxious! Her face is red!"
"No way! That's nonsense!"
…
At this time, Wei Ping quickly walked to the emergency department.
When he arrived, Sister Pan came to greet him.
"Where are the people?"
"Waiting outside your office so others can see her. She has been refusing to do so."
"Okay, let's go check it out!"
"good!"
So everyone headed towards the office.
When I arrived, I saw a woman in her forties holding her stomach and looking very painful.
The woman was wearing a professional suit and her face was very pale, probably due to diarrhea.
At this time she saw Wei Ping appear.
He immediately stood up.
"Doctor Wei, you are here, please help me see what's wrong with me?"
"Okay, let's go inside."
Wei Ping said that Xiao Xia had already gone to open the door.
Then, after Wei Ping inserted his medical insurance card into the card reader, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Five days ago, I ate a colleague's pickled pepper chicken feet and developed diarrhea. I had diarrhea eight or ten times a day! I couldn't work at all."
"What kind of pull is it?"
"Yellow, watery stool."
"How's your diet?"
"I usually don't eat messy things."
"Well, then, have you taken any medicine in the past five days?"
"Yes, I went to the pharmacy a few days ago to buy some medicine. The clerk recommended something called berberine hydrochloride. I heard it's very strong, but I took it for two days and there was no improvement at all."
"Okay, then are there any other symptoms? Like abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, fever, chest tightness, palpitations, etc.?"
"Not really! My mouth is just a little dry! I haven't eaten much these past few days, so whatever I eat I have diarrhea."
"There have been cases of people going into shock from diarrhea! Diarrhea itself isn't a major problem and has limited impact on people. However, if it's severe and prolonged, it can cause potassium and calcium ions to be excreted from the body, leading to electrolyte imbalances. Severe electrolyte imbalances can be fatal, such as hypokalemia, which can manifest as limb weakness and even arrhythmias. Therefore, in cases like hers, electrolytes should be replenished promptly!"
Wei Ping said.
The woman knew that he was talking to the intern next to him, and that she might be given an IV drip at that time.
Wei Ping then performed an X-ray and found no bacterial or viral infection in her stomach and intestines.
What would that be like?
He was thinking, generally speaking, diarrhea is mostly caused by acute gastroenteritis. And acute gastroenteritis is mostly caused by eating something bad.
He considered other possibilities.
Then the woman said, "Doctor Wei, I want to drink some water."
"Xiao Xia!"
"Okay, Senior Brother Wei!" Xiao Xia then poured her a glass of water.
When the woman took the water, Wei Ping suddenly noticed something strange.
"Wait! Don't drink yet!"
"What? What's wrong? Why can't I drink it!?" the woman said.
She was thirsty, but the doctor didn't let her drink water. What did that mean?
"I'm thirsty, but you won't let me drink water. Didn't you just say you wanted to drink water?" Her voice started to get louder.
By this time Wei Ping already knew something.
This person has a bad temper, which means it must be related to the disease.
"Do your hands usually shake?"
Wei Ping pointed at the woman's hand and asked.
"It happens sometimes, but not as obviously as it is today. Maybe I was scared. Doctor, does this have anything to do with drinking water?"
