Chapter 90 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
Because no matter how many times he explained it, they still couldn't understand the sentence well, so Zheng Heng simply called in the next number.
Soon, a middle-aged woman walked in.
This brings us to the department he practices in: Cardiac and Vascular Surgery, which is for patients with cardiovascular and cardiac problems. Of course, there are also patients who don't know what their problem is and who register at the wrong department.
Without the doctor asking, the patient walked in and described his discomfort: "Doctor, I've been feeling dizzy lately, and I feel terrible. Every time I feel unwell, I'm covered in sweat and can't do any work. Could you give me some medicine?"
This is something many people say when they come to see a doctor. From what she literally means, it's hard to know what her problem is. However, Lin Wei and Zheng Heng both became serious when they heard this because her expression was indeed not good.
Her complexion was sallow, and there was a grayish-white ring around her cornea. At a glance, the two of them recognized it as arcus senilis. The appearance of this ring did not indicate what disease she had, but combined with the symptoms she had just described, they still thought of one disease: coronary heart disease.
This is a common disease among the elderly, often caused by overwork. When the condition is stable, the person is perfectly healthy, but once it flares up, sudden death is possible.
Zheng Heng took out his stethoscope and listened to her heartbeat. A normal person's heartbeat is 60 to 100 beats per minute, but hers was only in the forties. It would be strange if she wasn't dizzy.
A heart rate that is too fast is bad, but a heart rate that is too slow is also bad; if you don't pay attention, your heart may stop.
Because he was worried that something might go wrong during her checkup, he told her to call her children at home.
"Call your family members over and have them accompany you for the examinations." This will save you trouble when you have to explain your condition later.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't need them to come. They are all at work and working very hard. I don't want to trouble them. I can manage on my own. Doctor, just prescribe some medicine for me. I'll just take some medicine and I'll be fine."
To be honest, Zheng Heng was most afraid of encountering patients like this. What could be more important than one's own health?
Upon seeing this, Lin Wei walked up to her and asked, "How is your relationship with your child?" Her voice was gentle, and with her face, it was easy to lower one's guard.
Zhou Ying smiled slightly as she said this, "It's great. They are very filial. The eldest son even said a few days ago that he would take me to live with him at his workplace."
However, Lin Wei noticed the word "they." Why was only one person mentioned? But that didn't stop her from bringing up the matter of the child, "If you get sick, they'll have to come and take care of you, wouldn't that be even more of a hassle?"
"Check it over. If everything is fine, you can leave. If there's a problem, we'll deal with it immediately. It won't delay anything."
Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment after hearing this. Seeing that they wouldn't prescribe any medicine, and knowing she was indeed feeling unwell, she reluctantly said, "Alright then." She didn't forget to ask one last time, "Doctor, is my illness serious?"
Lin Wei was also quite shrewd. "We'll have to wait until the tests are done before we talk about it." Knowing there was a problem, who would dare to give anyone a guarantee? She wasn't stupid.
Not long after, the patient's daughter arrived and immediately started yelling, "You always say your son is filial, but if he's so filial, why don't you ask him for help? You always think of him when there are benefits, but you make me do all the hard work every day? You even have to come with me to the doctor's appointment. What else can you do?"
Although Lin Wei had expected this, she was still surprised by what she saw. She had considered that she had lied, but she didn't expect this scene when the family members arrived.
Zheng Heng ordered an electrocardiogram and coronary angiography for them. After watching them leave, he turned back to her and asked, "What, are you surprised?"
"This kind of thing is very common in clinical practice. At least we managed to get her family to come today. If something had happened in our hospital or on her way home, they might blame us for not keeping her."
"And judging from the patient's frugal manner, she doesn't seem like someone who would be willing to spend hundreds or thousands of yuan on tests. Calling her family members here means it's their own business whether or not they get the tests done. However, it's quite obvious that what she said earlier was a bit exaggerated." She said her eldest son was filial, but he didn't come; instead, she called her youngest daughter. Judging from the scolding she received, it's clear that her daughter had harbored resentment towards her for a long time.
Even so, they still came and took her for a checkup. It just goes to show that every family has its own troubles.
Lin Wei simply couldn't understand why some people were so sexist. Last time, the pregnant woman with coronary heart disease insisted on giving birth because it was a boy in her belly. This time, the patient said she didn't favor her eldest son, but when she was sick and needed company, she still asked for her daughter.
It's true what they say, "No filial piety can prevail at a sickbed."
Fortunately, she is the only daughter in her family, and boys are becoming less valuable with more boys. She is the only girl in the Lin family's generation, so how could she not be precious? Especially since she is several years younger than her youngest cousin.
The next patients will be going for post-operative check-ups; all we need to do is give them the test orders.
Some only require an electrocardiogram, while others require a cardiac ultrasound.
After Zheng Heng finished writing out the prescriptions for them, he started asking about the case when no one was in the consultation room. "Do you know why I ordered an electrocardiogram and coronary angiography for Zhou Ying?" He looked at the three people besides Lin Wei, and it was clear that he thought she had figured it out.
Lin Wei: "..." This is discrimination, huh? But it didn't stop him from testing them. His gaze swept over the examination room, and when he saw a chair on the side, he couldn't contain himself. Although she could stand for hours performing surgery, it didn't mean she liked standing.
Lin Wei kept staring, and finally Zheng Heng glanced at her and said, "If you want to sit, go and move over and sit down." The main problem was that she was staring at the chair, and after staring at it, she turned around and stared at him with such a pleading look that anyone who didn't know better would think someone was abusing her.
He's not some cannibalistic doctor, and besides, she's still being trained by his father.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei unceremoniously moved a chair over. "Isn't this just being polite? We should still respect our teacher and emphasize the key points."
When Yang Mingjie and his two companions looked over, a hint of regret appeared in their eyes—not a single chair was left. But what good would it do? They couldn't all sit there in a row, could they?
However, as she sat down, Lin Wei noticed the scar on his right hand. It didn't look like a normal injury; it looked like it might have damaged a nerve. Could he still have surgery?
She frowned as she thought about it, but then she realized that she hadn't seen him much in the department, so she guessed what was going on and quickly looked away without daring to look any longer.
Zheng Heng glanced at her, then looked down at his right hand. Even though he had seen those hands countless times, he could still recall that day. He didn't regret what he had done, but he regretted that he could no longer hold a scalpel.
Perhaps he'll spend his entire life seeing patients in this clinic. But what kind of surgeon can't perform surgery?
In fact, many people, knowing this, advised him to transfer to internal medicine, and he knew it was the best choice for him, but he still refused. Because from the very beginning, his choice to become a doctor was to become a doctor like his father.
But the inability to wield a scalpel remained a knot in his heart.
At this moment, Zheng Heng's gaze fell on Lin Wei. He had heard from Director Zheng that she was very talented, performed well in surgery, and was very ambitious. He had originally wanted to see if she was as good as he had said, but he was surprised to find that she was indeed quite good.
She has excellent observation skills and good communication skills; she's a very likable girl, no wonder he keeps praising her.
However, thinking that the praise and attention that once belonged to him had been taken away by someone else, Zheng Heng still felt a little jealous.
He was jealous that she could have the surgery, and jealous of his father's attention and care for her. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't control himself.
So the gentleness he had shown earlier vanished instantly after Lin Wei and the other three left, leaving only exhaustion and a hint of loneliness.
Perhaps he was good at disguising himself, or perhaps he didn't intend to harm anyone, and people who are usually sensitive to malice didn't notice this.
However, seeing the scars on his hands only fueled Lin Wei's desire for regenerative technology. In fact, she already had a few ideas, thanks to a time when she looked up Fang Yihuai's papers and also checked Chi Boyan's published papers. When she discovered that his paper mentioned an X cell with high regenerative capabilities, she had a glimmer of inspiration.
The laboratory in the system space can produce any material she wants, so she actually did quite a few experiments when she was studying biology. However, although she has regenerative abilities, they are far from reaching the level she desires.
At that moment, she thought of the document she had given him earlier, and wondered how he had read it, and whether he had any thoughts she hadn't considered.
Because of this, Lin Wei contacted Chi Boyan again after several months. However, due to the time difference, he did not reply immediately, so she did not wait. Instead, she went back into the simulation room to practice the surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot.
Last time she only practiced on five machines, but this time she obviously wants to practice on more.
On the operating table, her hands were very steady. She was wearing gloves and a surgical gown, her whole body was wrapped up tightly, with only her eyes showing.
Whatever instrument she needs, it appears automatically in her hand at will. Every move she makes exudes competence. Before, she would hesitate when the scalpel fell, but now she doesn't hesitate at all and makes a decisive move.
The inner muscle layer is exposed, revealing the condition inside the chest cavity.
Not all of her surgeries were failures; seven out of ten were successful without any unexpected issues, and some even achieved an A+ rating. However, the remaining three all ended in failure.
This is not the level she wanted.
Her goal was for every surgery to be a success. However, it was clear that she hadn't achieved that yet, which led her to assist Director Zheng in several more surgeries, though she was the first assistant in all of them.
Having practiced so many times in the simulation room and witnessed numerous critical situations, she could handle most emergencies. The main reason for watching the simulation multiple times was to ensure she hadn't overlooked anything during the surgery. Therefore, after observing the procedure, Lin Wei took some notes and went to ask Director Zheng about it.
However, just after she finished performing on stage, news of Chi Boyan arrived.
"Have you read my paper?"
