After arriving at the office, Xu Fang was sitting at Bao Youshan's desk. When she saw the two of them, she didn't stand up either.
When Xiang Yuanzhong saw it, he felt that it looked a little familiar.
"Director Xiang, you're here. Can you show me what's going on?" Xu Fang stretched out her hand. Her attitude towards Director Xiang was much better than towards Bao Youshan.
Xiang Yuanzhong pinched the joint of his right thumb, and Xu Fang frowned in pain.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Xiang Yuanzhong asked.
Xu Fang nodded. "It hurts a lot. It's getting more and more painful these days."
"Move your fingers and see."
Xu Fang bent her thumb again and found no obvious signs of compression.
Xiang Yuanzhong was a bit confused. Stenosing tenosynovitis refers to the frequent sliding of a tendon within its sheath, which leads to tendon edema and subsequent compression within the tendon sheath. This causes a snapping sound when the tendon slides, hence the name trigger finger. In severe cases, the finger can become immobile.
The symptoms of this thumb are too atypical.
But Xiang Yuanzhong couldn't think of any other pathology besides stenosing tenosynovitis in this area. Could it be a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath? Or a neurofibroma?
But during the last surgery, no obvious mass tissue seemed to be found.
Seeing Xiang Yuanzhong's bewildered expression, Xu Fang suddenly became angry and asked, "Director Xiang, don't you know the reason?"
Xiang Yuanzhong shook his head and said, it’s hard to say now, but what is certain is that you need another surgery. After opening it up, if a lump is found, it must be removed and examined for diagnosis.
Xu Fang was unhappy when she heard this. "You have no idea at all. What if after the operation, you find out that it's something bad, will you have to do another operation?"
Xiang Yuanzhong nodded. "In principle, after the pathological examination, if it turns out to be a bad tumor, then we need to perform a larger resection."
"snort!"
Xu Fang snorted coldly, "Didn't you say last time that it was just stenosing tenosynovitis? You said that surgery wouldn't stop it from recurring. Didn't you misdiagnose me? You even performed surgery on me, delaying my treatment. You have to take responsibility for me!"
Xiang Yuanzhong's heart tightened. This was what he feared the most: leaders, acquaintances in the hospital, or his relatives would bring patients here, and out of face, they would not do further examinations and would use the simplest and most cost-effective method to treat the patients, which often laid hidden dangers for themselves!
This patient is a typical example. Now that something has gone wrong, she is looking for trouble with me. She won't even contact Dean Wang again, for fear that Dean Wang will come forward to mediate. Therefore, she will definitely rely on me.
Bao Youshan couldn't bear it any longer and said sternly, "There's no absolute cure for any disease. We doctors won't guarantee it, and Director Xiang is just trying to save you money and trouble!"
Xu Fang's expression changed. "I don't need him to save me money. I want the treatment to be effective. Now my condition has relapsed. No, he misdiagnosed me. How much of an impact will this have on me? It's easy for you to talk about it because it didn't happen to you!"
Xiang Yuanzhong took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Well, there happens to be an orthopedic specialist from the city hospital coming to our hospital to perform surgery today. I'll ask him to take a look at you."
After Xiang Yuanzhong finished speaking, he gave Bao Youshan a wink.
Bao Youshan understood and turned to leave.
Soon, he and Duan Jianhui came to the office together.
After Duan Jianhui understood the situation, he carefully examined the patient and found that his complexion did not look good either.
"It's hard to judge. It's possible that you had tendonitis last time, and the lump hadn't grown at that time. It just happened to grow after you had the operation. It has nothing to do with your operation. It's also possible that the stimulation after the operation accelerated the growth of the lump." Director Duan shook his head.
Xu Fang sneered and said, "What kind of expert are you? I think you're colluding to deceive me. You're just trying to shirk responsibility! During my last surgery, I could clearly feel a nodule here. After the surgery, the nodule didn't go away, but instead grew bigger. And you're saying it's nothing! You misdiagnosed me!"
Duan Jianhui was helpless. He said seriously, "Now we shouldn't worry about whether there was a misdiagnosis or not. We need further treatment, a clear diagnosis, and prevent the condition from getting worse!"
"Judging from your symptoms, this nodule is growing quite fast, so it needs treatment as soon as possible!"
After hearing what Director Duan said, Xu Fang became a little anxious, and she forced herself to calm down.
"I only have one request now, which is that you must first understand my condition roughly and then perform surgery to cure it all at once. As long as you can cure me, I won't owe you a penny for the treatment costs, and I won't cause you any trouble!"
Xiang Yuanzhong and Director Duan looked at each other and felt a little overwhelmed.
The patient has already made concessions, and if you still say some words to shirk responsibility and play Tai Chi, the patient will really not let you go.
Xiang Yuanzhong thought for a moment and said to Xu Fang, "Well, you should be admitted to the hospital first, and we'll do some further examinations. Usually, after the examinations are complete, we'll have a preliminary diagnosis, and we can then formulate a surgical plan!"
Xu Fang said coldly: "Can you guarantee that you can cure it?"
Xiang Yuanzhong shook his head and said, "I can only say that I will do my best, but there is no guarantee. Even if it's just a minor cold, I can't guarantee that I can cure it!"
"Forget it. I won't be treated here. I'm going to the city!" Xu Fang stood up and was about to leave.
Xiang Yuanzhong didn't dare to let her go. If she left, whether she was cured or not, she would definitely come to trouble him in the future.
"The experts from the municipal hospital are here. Even if you go to the city, it won't be 100% certain that you will be cured!" Xiang Yuanzhong quickly advised.
Xu Fang glanced at Duan Jianhui and felt that his temperament was in line with the identity of an expert at the Municipal Hospital. She snorted coldly and said, "Then I'll go to the provincial government. Anyway, I'll settle the bill with you for all the money I spent and the work I delayed!"
Xiang Yuanzhong was really overwhelmed.
This means going to the province for treatment, and the cost will be frighteningly high.
If we sue the hospital again and ask for compensation, I don’t know how much of the department’s salary will be deducted!
At this moment, Bao Youshan suddenly thought of someone and whispered in Xiang Yuanzhong's ear, "Why don't you call Li Zheng over to take a look?"
Xiang Yuanzhong was stunned. Although Li Zheng was good at surgery, he was not omnipotent in clinical diagnosis and treatment. He did not understand all diseases.
Although Duan Jianhui didn't quite believe Li Zheng could have any better insights, he still suggested: "It's not a bad thing to have one more person to observe. Li Zheng can't be viewed with the eyes of ordinary people. Maybe he can find details that we haven't noticed."
Xiang Yuanzhong had no other choice but to nod and say, "Then let's ask him to come and take a look."
Bao Youshan immediately turned around and made a phone call.
Xiang Yuanzhong said to Xu Fang, "Please wait a moment. We have a very good doctor in our hospital. He might be able to clarify your problem when he comes over!"
