Chapter 63 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
It's that kind of feeling where they don't say it directly, but you still get that sense of dislike.
"You're only realizing it now?" Zheng Wenhua said. "I thought you guys already knew." Usually when she asked someone to participate in a competition, the other party would definitely ask about their strength or other information. However, Lin Wei agreed without asking a single question. Wasn't that obvious?
Not to mention she also participated in the individual competition, so she probably doesn't take this team collaboration competition seriously.
This did hit the nail on the head regarding Lin Wei's thoughts, but it wasn't entirely accurate. She was quite invested in this competition, but compared to trusting her teammates' abilities, she had more faith in her own, so she didn't care who her teammates were.
Besides, they've all said they can't do it anymore, so what can she do? Is she supposed to follow them around with a whip, urging them to learn, and then hitting them if they don't succeed? She's not that bored.
Ou Ziming sighed and said, "Maybe we can actually latch onto a powerful backer this time." If the contents of those notes and materials were all summarized by her own efforts, they might actually win.
It can only be said that everyone is more optimistic than Lin Wei herself. Is this what they call ignorance is bliss?
She just heard that Chi Boyan will also be participating. Can you call him a weirdo? He has to tell her about his participation in a competition and ask her if she's participating?
Lin Wei looked at the messages on her phone and took a deep breath. It seemed that winning an award in this competition wouldn't be easy.
She now wishes she could read through the books on internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology a dozen or twenty times. Besides reading the books, she still felt it wasn't enough, so she bought some practice exercises to do, but even she couldn't get them 100% correct.
Looking at those wrong answers, all she could do was summarize and try to avoid making the same mistakes next time.
For those technical operation classes, she would practice in the laboratory if she could, and for those she couldn't, she would go to the rented room she had previously rented to practice, giving herself absolutely no time to rest.
So the people in the dormitory could only see her during class and after 11 p.m.
It's like a dragon whose head is seen but whose tail is never seen.
Lin Wei felt like she was studying like crazy lately; even on the go, she would unconsciously review the knowledge from her books. How to handle febrile seizures in children? What are the procedures for treating fractures, and how to distinguish between acute and critical cases? Each question could lead to many smaller questions and sub-questions.
When she sees someone on the street, she unconsciously observes their pupils, lip color, skin tone, and even their limbs. She wonders what anemia looks like. What are the possible causes of swelling in both lower limbs, and are some conditions only diagnosable with X-rays?
The only good thing is that there are relatively more healthy people in the school, and after looking around, she really couldn't see many who were sick.
At that moment, Lin Wei's eyes suddenly sharpened. A girl in front of her swayed twice and then suddenly fell down. She rushed forward and caught the girl just before she hit the ground, but to be honest, her mind went blank for a moment.
This was the first time she had directly interacted with a real patient; she usually practiced with mannequins. Suddenly, she didn't know what to do.
However, Lin Wei quickly calmed down and looked at the person in front of her. She saw that the person was pale, sweating profusely, and somewhat thin. Although she had fainted at first, she had recovered somewhat and was still conscious.
Lin Wei asked directly, "Did you eat anything this morning?" Without uttering a single unnecessary question.
Zhou Ning said weakly, "I ate a meat bun this morning, and now I just feel weak." Although I didn't know why she asked that, I still chose to trust her.
Lin Wei: "You don't usually take any medication, do you?" Seeing her blank look, she knew that diabetes was not a concern for her, so she poured some water from her own glass for her the next second.
Coincidentally, she made rock sugar pear water today, which contains sugar.
After Zhou Ning finished drinking it, she felt much better.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, only a short while had gone by. When the surrounding classmates saw this, they didn't know anything else, but they knew that after she asked them a few questions and gave her a glass of water, her condition improved, and they couldn't help but applaud.
Zhou Ning asked in confusion, "What happened to me?" For a moment just now, she almost thought she was going to faint.
Lin Wei: "If I'm not mistaken, it's probably low blood sugar. If you're worried, you can go to the infirmary to have it checked."
"Eat more food regularly," she said, glancing at her figure.
She's too thin; no wonder she had low blood sugar after eating breakfast this morning.
It's not that eating breakfast will prevent hypoglycemia, because it's mainly due to the action of insulin, not whether you ate breakfast or not. Moreover, judging from her hair and weight, she seems to have some malnutrition issues, so hypoglycemia is not surprising at all.
Seeing that the person had woken up and could even stand up, the surrounding classmates gradually dispersed. Lin Wei gave a few words of advice and then prepared to leave.
However, Professor Mo, who was watching from the side, called out to her, "Don't go yet, Lin Wei. I want to know how you determined that she had hypoglycemia and not heatstroke?" This was a small question after class.
Lin Wei was somewhat surprised to see him, but still answered, "There is a fundamental difference between hypoglycemia and heatstroke. The symptoms of hypoglycemia are cold sweats, pale complexion, possible tremors in the fingers, and irregular heartbeat, but heatstroke causes profuse sweating and the temperature is higher. In addition, the weather today is not too hot, so heatstroke is ruled out."
Professor Mo: "Then why did you ask that question again? That is, whether she had received any injections?"
Lin Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, what I really want to ask is whether she has ever taken insulin? Because even if I asked about diabetes, some people wouldn't answer in front of so many people. Besides, didn't the teacher repeatedly remind us not to ask leading questions? So let's just leave it at that."
"I asked that extra question just in case she has a history of diabetes. Although she's so thin, she probably doesn't, but just in case she has both diabetes and hypoglycemia, I asked anyway." She was also afraid of making a wrong diagnosis.
At that moment, she wasn't thinking about whether she would be ridiculed or looked at strangely if she made a wrong diagnosis; instead, she was worried that she might have made a mistake and caused a life to be lost.
It was only then that Lin Wei realized how heavy the word "doctor" truly was.
Professor Mo's eyes showed appreciation. "Then why don't you think she's anemic?" Anemia can also have these symptoms.
“Anemia can be ruled out because the patient’s eyelid epithelium and nail beds are pale. In addition, hypoglycemia can be confused with hyperthyroidism and hemophobia, but hyperthyroidism has obvious characteristics, such as bulging eyes and a thick neck. I looked at her eyes and they were not bulging, so that can also be ruled out.”
"But fainting at the sight of blood has a rather special scenario. It usually happens at the scene of blood drawing or injury and bleeding, but today is clearly not the case." Without waiting for Professor Mo to ask any more questions, she explained her thoughts.
Her excellence lies in her ability to anticipate the patient's thoughts, rather than blindly believing them. As she said, if a classmate has diabetes, and you ask him in front of so many people, even if he really does, he might not answer.
The same applies in hospitals, which is why they place greater emphasis on examinations. Patients can lie, but machines don't, and test results don't lie.
The person in front of her was able to do this, something those students who only knew how to study by rote couldn't compare to. Especially after Lin Wei finished speaking, she was reflecting on where she might have fallen short.
Hearing her words, Professor Mo praised her, "You've considered everything very thoroughly." In reality, in a true crisis, it's impossible to consider so much. Book knowledge is just book knowledge; the actual situation depends on the circumstances. In his view, she had done an excellent job. Identifying hypoglycemia wasn't difficult; the challenge lay in ruling out all possibilities in such a short time, rather than simply guessing.
Of course, fearing that she might become arrogant due to her recent success, Professor Mo still pointed out a few flaws to encourage her to continue working hard. However, he was in a good mood afterward.
In fact, hypoglycemia is a very minor condition, perhaps not even a disease. Logically, he shouldn't be so agitated, but his agitation stems mainly from her knowledge and her approach to managing it.
"To be honest, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what it will be like when she goes to clinical practice," he said to the other professors in the office.
The professors teaching gynecology and pediatrics couldn't help but feel a little curious. They hadn't been there when they traveled together last time, so they hadn't met Lin Wei, but they had heard her name quite a few times recently. Was she really that outstanding?
"Perhaps we can call on her to answer questions next time we're in class, so we can recognize her," the two female professors thought to themselves.
Lin Wei was unaware that she had already made a name for herself among many professors. After this incident, she became more cautious about the medical profession. One disease could be confused with another, requiring profound medical knowledge and experience to avoid misdiagnosis. This was far more difficult than mathematics or physics, where at least the students only learned knowledge; even if research was flawed, they could simply rewrite the paper. But a misdiagnosis of a human patient could truly harm both the patient and the doctor.
Because of this sudden event, she felt that the clinical medicine competition was nothing special. Thinking of this, Lin Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?" Although she discovered something more stressful, it also made her current predicament seem ordinary.
However, she doesn't regret stepping forward today. It's good to realize this point early on, as it will benefit her future path. It's better than making mistakes in clinical practice later and only learning this through painful lessons.
In the days leading up to the clinical competition, she remained relatively calm, at least not as frantic as before. She told herself that even if she lost, she should learn something from it. She even hoped that she could suffer a little loss now so that she would suffer less in the future.
