Chapter 118 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 118...
Some patients can be discharged a day or two early after surgery without any problem. However, he still asked, "Who's sick?" Did he need to be asked of him?
Lin Wei: "My grandfather is currently suspected of having coronary heart disease and a mild cerebral embolism. There is a small piece in his kidney that needs to be investigated. Because the machines in the town may not be that advanced, a comprehensive examination will still be needed."
As she spoke, the nurses and doctors standing not far away watched her. They exchanged glances, realizing she was actually a doctor. She spoke with such confidence and expertise that she seemed quite capable.
"Dr. Zhang, you helped with that patient's examination just now. Is what she said correct?" the nurse asked in a low voice.
Dr. Zhang shook his head. "I don't know. A lot of what she said is different from what we found in our tests." Someone who can arrange hospital rooms wouldn't just say things randomly. It's just unexpected that someone dressed so simply could know someone like this, and they even seem to be family.
You should know that even for coronary heart disease, you need to have surgery at least at a top-tier hospital in the city, and getting a bed there isn't easy.
Actually, it would have been more convenient for Lin Wei to take her grandfather to the Affiliated Hospital of University A, but since she had no experience in the cardiac surgery department and wasn't very familiar with it, she decided against it. To prevent any accidents on the way, she asked the doctor to prescribe some medication to control his condition, and once her grandfather woke up, she would take him to Hanshao City.
His fainting this time wasn't due to a cerebrovascular problem, but rather a heart problem caused by overwork. So, while it was indeed urgent, it wasn't entirely unimportant either. The complicated part was that these problems occurred simultaneously.
At the First Hospital of Hanshao City, Director Zheng personally greeted the visitors. The two did not exchange pleasantries; they proceeded with the necessary examinations and admission procedures without wasting any time.
However, when they saw the test results, their brows furrowed simultaneously. "He has a growth on his kidney, and it looks like it's almost certainly a tumor, but we still need to determine whether it's benign or malignant," said Director Zheng after reviewing the ultrasound results.
The size and boundary condition are somewhat malignant and somewhat benign, mainly because apart from this fainting spell, he doesn't usually have any other special symptoms.
Of course, ordinary urinary frequency and urgency do not count.
Lin Wei agreed with him, "Then let's do another pathological biopsy and tumor marker test." She also hoped that the tumor was not malignant. If it was malignant, even if it was removed, it could still spread. Apart from chemotherapy to prolong life, there was no other way.
At this moment, Lin Wei regretted not researching this kind of drug; with her abilities, it wouldn't have been impossible for her to develop it.
However, she was being too hard on herself. Who would research drugs to treat malignant tumors for no reason? After all, there are many incurable diseases in this world, not just malignant tumors, but also rabies, AIDS, and so on. Who would happen to be researching this drug and then have a family member who needs it?
However, things didn't turn out to be as bad as everyone thought. Looking at the results that came out after half a day of expedited processing, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a benign tumor. If it had been a malignant tumor, she really wouldn't know what to do.
She might be able to stay in the lab and experiment, but whether the final results will have any other side effects is unknown, and there are still risks involved in using it, not to mention that producing drugs in reality also takes time.
Director Zheng: "Then there's nothing to worry about. We can have a coronary artery bypass graft and a pacemaker installed. When we have time, we can remove the tumor, or we can have the surgery done at the same time."
Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief, then heard him ask, "Are you planning to perform this surgery yourself?"
Lin Wei thought for a moment and nodded. "I plan to remove the tumor during the surgery as well." Since surgery is necessary anyway, why bother with two procedures? She will try her best to minimize the surgical risks and aftereffects.
Upon hearing this, Director Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "You're now qualified to perform urological surgeries?" If she remembered correctly, her previous rotation was in the emergency department, right? Her last department was neurosurgery. How come she can now perform kidney tumor removals in the blink of an eye?
Here, Lin Wei needed his help. "I am qualified to perform this surgery independently, but I still need the head of the urology department to vouch for me. Teacher, can you help me with this?" Actually, it was just a formality. She was performing surgery on her own grandfather; what could possibly go wrong? Even if something did happen, he wouldn't be held responsible.
Director Zheng clearly knew this, so he agreed without much hesitation, "Okay."
It was at this moment that Fu Shuhui finally had a chance to interject and ask, "Teacher, why doesn't he need surgery even though he has a brain embolism?"
Director Zheng did not answer, but instead looked at Lin Wei.
She answered for him directly, "Because the patient is old, we should avoid unnecessary procedures. Although he has a brain embolism, it's not very serious. We'll try conservative treatment, and only consider interventional treatment if that doesn't work." As long as she didn't cause trouble, Lin Wei was quite easy to talk to. She also wouldn't deliberately speak ill of her in front of Director Zheng.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shuhui nodded stiffly. Everyone could see that Director Zheng's attitude towards her was extremely amiable; she would have been a fool to pick a fight with her. She even wished she would leave immediately. Putting everything else aside, when Lin Wei wasn't around, Director Zheng at least noticed her. But now, how could he possibly pay attention to her? This scene was very similar to Yang Mingjie's. The only difference was that the latter could still maintain a sense of self-consistency, while she couldn't.
In the ward, since the best option was a double room, Grandpa Lin shared a room with another patient.
Seeing that the doctor would linger by his bedside every time he came, asking how he was feeling and if he had any discomfort, and being very kind, the patient in the next bed was puzzled. "Do you know the doctors here? Why do they seem to know you so well?"
Grandpa Lin looked up blankly, "I don't know him. Big cities are great, even the doctors are so kind."
The patient in the next bed overheard this and didn't know if he was genuinely stupid or just pretending. The doctors at this top-tier hospital were gentle, but it wasn't like they were sending a doctor to check on him every so often. Was he kidding him?
Uncle Lin stayed here to take care of her, and he knew what he meant, but he didn't say anything, for fear of causing trouble for his niece.
At this moment, Director Zheng and Lin Wei walked in, followed by two doctors who were to assist with the surgery, plus Fu Shuhui, making the ward feel cramped with just five people.
"Sir, we're planning to have your surgery the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
I've seen Director Zheng in the next bed before, and I know he's the big boss of this department. I just didn't expect him to be so kind to a patient. It would be a lie to say he has no connections, but he doesn't seem like any important person at all, and he even has a bit of an accent.
He was referring to Grandpa Lin.
Grandpa Lin said with a smile, "I'm fine. I feel perfectly normal now." If Uncle Lin hadn't already prepared him mentally, the surgery would have had to be done anyway. He might have wanted to go home, but the travel expenses were quite high, and going back now would obviously not be worthwhile. He was also mindful of this and naturally wouldn't say anything that would make things difficult for his granddaughter.
To his surprise, it was his granddaughter who performed the surgery. Hearing this, a look of bewilderment flashed across his eyes. Was she really that skilled? She could even perform surgery on people.
Uncle Lin was also shocked. Wasn't she there for an internship? How could she be performing surgery on people?
Lin Wei looked at her grandfather with a smile and asked, "Grandpa, if you're afraid, I can have the head surgeon and others perform the operation for you." She just felt more at ease if she did it herself.
Director Zheng, who was standing nearby, also said, "Grandpa, don't worry. Your granddaughter is amazing. Her skills are no worse than mine. You can rest assured."
Grandpa Lin was flattered and praised her in accordance with his words, without any intention of belittling Lin Wei, "She has been smarter than others since she was a child." His voice was full of pride.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei couldn't help but smile.
After they left, the patient in the next bed looked at Grandpa Lin and asked, "Is your granddaughter a doctor?"
Grandpa Lin chuckled and said, "Yes." He had objected when his youngest son advised Lin Wei not to become a doctor, but now he was truly benefiting from her kindness. Without her phone call, how could he have been admitted to the hospital so quickly and had surgery arranged so immediately?
The doctor in the next bed, upon hearing this, didn't ask anything else, but simply said, "Then could you let your granddaughter perform the surgery on me?" She dared to perform surgery on her own grandfather, so her skills must be excellent. Although she's a bit young, the head doctor wouldn't be making things up, would he?
Because of this, Grandpa Lin was stunned. "Huh? Then let me ask her." He had never seen anyone rush to have surgery. Was he really that carefree? If the person performing the surgery wasn't his granddaughter, he would have been scared if it had been just any young man.
So you can imagine how surprised Lin Wei was when she heard this. "Are you sure?" This was the first time someone had ever tried to get her to have surgery without even knowing her, so she was quite surprised.
The patient in the next bed said, "I'm absolutely certain." He was now very convinced that Lin Wei was an extremely skilled expert. He had seen how warmly the other doctors treated her, and he had also heard that she wouldn't be staying at this hospital for long and would be leaving soon. She was only here for surgery because her grandfather was sick.
