"It's an acute infection, with high fever and poor heart and lung function. The patient has fallen into a coma and the medication is not good!" the head nurse said quickly.
Ning Xi had a rough idea of what was going on. When she arrived at the ward, Doctor Wu hurriedly said, "Doctor Ning, the patient's condition is very serious. The infection has caused a persistent high fever, and all indicators are not very good. His heart and lung functions are also failing. Look..."
"Have you done the examination? Can you determine where the source of infection is?" Ning Xi took the pile of examination reports from his hand, flipped through them quickly, and looked at the patient on the bed.
Originally, after her previous treatment and the subsequent efforts of Dr. Wu, the patient's condition had improved greatly. As long as he was prevented from getting infected and the rejection after lung transplantation was controlled, he would be able to be discharged from the hospital soon.
But now, looking at the patient whose face was red with fever and whose eyes were closed, as well as the various instruments that were sounding alarms, her mood became solemn.
"After doing biochemistry and bedside B-ultrasound, we can confirm that it is an infection, but we can't find out where the infection is. We can only look at the functions of various organs, and it is a multi-organ infection with decreased function." Doctor Wu said quickly.
Ning Xi had already reached out and held the patient's pulse, and the situation was indeed very grim.
"Where are the patient's family? Have you asked them if they've been given anything to eat in the past two days? Or if they have any infectious diseases?"
Because transplant patients need to take immunosuppressants to prevent rejection, their immunity is very poor. Not to mention viruses, even a small bacterial infection can be fatal!
"I've sent someone to call," said Doctor Wu.
"Let's take the patient out for a CT scan first to determine the condition of his body." Ning Xi suggested immediately.
Doctor Wu nodded and immediately asked someone to make arrangements, but before they left the ward, they were blocked by Mrs. Li.
"Husband, what happened to my husband? How did you treat his illness? Why did he suddenly become like this?"
"Mrs. Li, please move aside. We need to take him for a checkup!"
"What examination? What happened to him? He was fine when I left this morning. How come he became like this all of a sudden? Is it you who caused this? Is it you?" Mrs. Li blocked the patient's way and shouted at the top of her lungs, refusing to give way.
All the medical staff were speechless.
Doctor Wu was already anxious, and seeing her like this, he said, "Madam Li, if you continue to block the way and delay the treatment, you will be responsible for it yourself!"
"What do you mean I'm responsible? You treated me improperly, and you're trying to shirk responsibility, right? I'm telling you, if anything happens to my husband, I'll never forgive you! Where's your dean? Call him over!"
"You!" Doctor Wu was almost furious at her unreasonableness and wanted to argue with her, but Ning Xi stopped him and said, "Don't say anything, just call the police."
When she said this, everyone fell silent for a moment. Madam Li's eyes flashed with guilt, and then she pointed at her and said, "Okay, I knew it, I knew it was you who was deliberately taking revenge and deliberately wanted to make my husband suffer, right?
You still want to call the police and shirk responsibility! I…"
"The police will find out who is responsible. We doctors have a clear conscience, but I don't know what will happen to those who dare to commit intentional murder as their partner." Ning Xi looked at her with cold and serious eyes.
Mrs. Li was startled, and her guilty conscience became even more obvious. But then she shouted even louder: "What nonsense are you talking about! Could I possibly harm my old Li?"
But the more she did this, the more it seemed like she was trying to cover up her mistake, and it changed the way everyone looked at her.
The head nurse immediately winked at the clever young nurse beside her and quickly called the police.
Seeing that they really called the police, Mrs. Li felt even more guilty, and a look of panic became obvious on her face.
"Catch her first and hand her over to the police later." Ning Xi said.
When the male nurse who came to help and several male doctors including Dr. Wu heard this, they immediately started to work.
Before Mrs. Li could run, she was pinned to the ground by them.
"Let me go, you are slandering me! I will sue you! I..." No matter how Mrs. Li shouted, Ning Xi had already supported the stretcher and quickly walked out of the ward with the patient.
When Professor Qi came back after the operation, he was shocked to learn that a murder had occurred in the department.
"Xiao Ning, what's going on? How is Mr. Li?" Professor Qi found Ning Xi's office.
Because the patient was Dr. Wu's patient, Ning Xi came back after sending him for examination.
Seeing Professor Qi come in with an anxious look on his face, he hurriedly poured him a glass of water.
"Professor Qi, are you done with the surgery?"
"Well, what's going on with Mr. Li and Mrs. Li over there?"
"I don't know the details, but Mr. Li suddenly developed a large number of multiple infections, and Mrs. Li was acting strangely, so I had someone call the police."
"What about the patient? How is he now?"
"The infection is quite serious. Doctor Wu has sent the patient to the ICU and is preparing to use ECMO." Ning Xi said.
Professor Qi shook his head and sighed. Having been a doctor for so many years, he had seen a lot of the ugliness of human nature, but he never expected that there would be people who directly wanted to kill people.
"No wonder, Mrs. Li insisted on replacing you as the attending physician last time. It seems that she has no intention of letting people get better." Professor Qi said.
Ning Xi didn't say anything. When she came back just now, she discussed it with the head nurse, and then she realized that Mr. Li was not a good man. When he was healthy, he did a lot of eating, drinking, gambling and whoring outside. When he was sick, he relied on his wife and children to take care of him. No wonder, last time, Dr. Jin just said a few words and made Dr. Li dislike her.
I'm afraid she really thinks she is trying to steal her man.
