"Another child with leukemia has arrived."
"Yeah! I never thought the risk of leukemia would increase so quickly."
The nurses began to discuss the situation. They were accustomed to seeing separations and deaths, and their feelings were particularly deep. In the obstetrics and gynecology department, things were better, with only joy and even partings being rare. But other departments were different; even in their department, death was a common sight.
"Hey... tell me, why..."
"Can we explain it?"
Even doctors couldn't explain it, and nurses couldn't quite put their finger on it. Leukemia was becoming an increasingly common disease, affecting younger and younger people.
"Director Yang, who is more suitable to treat this patient?"
The head nurse looked at the indifferent Yang Yi. Would she be more responsible for this patient who had just been admitted to the hospital?
"Leave it to Professor Shen. She is planning to study this disease. I think she is a good fit."
It was a perfect opportunity to show everyone what he was capable of. The dean said he had real skills, so let's show them. Leukemia was such a difficult disease, a disease that no one in the world could overcome. I wondered if Professor Shen could solve this mystery.
"This... isn't good. Professor Shen just arrived."
The head nurse frowned. She didn't think this was a good arrangement. Given the Dean's attention, Director Yang's move left her unsure what to do. When the devil fights, the little devils suffer. Was she just one of the casualties?
"She's not capable, I just want to see how she's capable."
"Director Yang, the dean...it's hard to explain!"
"No need to explain. My department doesn't need to explain to anyone."
Yang Yi looked at the head nurse. He hoped that the department would be staffed by talented individuals, not fools. Whether one could maintain their position depended on their abilities.
"All right……"
Liu Yan nodded and obeyed the arrangement.
"Professor Shen... Professor Shen, a patient has arrived. Director Yang said that he will be in your care from now on."
"What's the illness?" Shen Yun looked up at the head nurse who entered her office.
"The tentative diagnosis is leukemia. To confirm it, we need the results of various tests."
The head nurse gestured to Professor Shen to take the medical record in her hand. The patient had already been admitted to the ward and was waiting for Professor Shen to come over and take a look.
"Let's go... let's go take a look."
Shen Yun put down the medical book in her hand. She had been feeling very depressed for a long time. She didn't expect that Director Yang would only now arrange a patient for her.
"Bed 13, intensive care unit."
The head nurse hadn't expected such a serious case. Could Professor Shen handle it? Looking at the young Professor Shen, the head nurse worried for her. This patient was too young, and there was no telling if he could survive. Aside from a bone marrow transplant, there was currently no effective treatment for leukemia.
“Professor Shen…Are you the doctor in charge of bed 13?”
Tian Tian came out from the nurse station next to her and looked at Shen Yun with some concern. This patient was too difficult. The intensive care unit was still rescuing him, and no one knew what his condition was.
"Yeah? What's going on?"
"Acute leukemia, high fever that won't go away, and now many complications have appeared."
"So serious?"
Chen Yun also frowned. The patient was young, and even strong medication might not be enough to sustain the condition. The priority now was to reduce the fever, and then find a way to address the anemia and hematopoietic system.
"Yeah! It's super serious."
I'm not lying, it's really, really serious. Now, he's already in a coma. You know, acute illnesses come on quickly, and there's not much time left to save him.
"Let me go over and take a look!"
Shen Yun attached great importance to her first patient. Since Director Yang had entrusted the patient to her, she naturally had to be responsible for the patient and the robe she wore. Doctors are supposed to save lives and heal the wounded. There is no doctor who would not help others in need.
"Professor Shen, you are here..."
"Doctor Shen, this is the patient's family member. This patient used to be a frequent visitor to our hospital. He was brought here today because he was injured and bleeding profusely."
"Later, he fell into a coma and had a high fever that wouldn't go away. He tried bone marrow matching, but neither his parents' bone marrow was suitable."
Therefore, the problem we face now is that there is simply no way to alleviate the current situation. The child is only ten years old, and the flowers of the motherland have no chance to grow.
"Doctor? Miss nurse, you must have made a mistake!"
"Yes! Miss Nurse, is this the doctor? He doesn't look very old! Is this the Doctor Yang we usually see?"
"Miss Nurse, we want Dr. Yang, Director Yang."
The patient's family had been delighted to hear the doctor's words, but Shen Yun's appearance only made them furious. Even if the child wasn't able to, you at least had to try your best. This doctor's age was clearly a problem; he had absolutely no experience. How could he reassure the patient's family? Is this how military hospitals operate? It was disheartening!
“Director Yang arranged it. Don’t worry, this Doctor Shen is also a very good doctor with superb medical skills.”
The head nurse looked at the patient's family and felt a headache. She had not expected that the patient's family would protest.
"Can I see the patient first? You can discuss the rest of the requirements with the head nurse."
Shen Yun didn't care. She walked towards the intensive care unit. She needed to personally inspect the patient's condition and take his pulse to confirm his physical condition. If Western medicine didn't work, Traditional Chinese Medicine might not be the solution.
"Oh well……"
The head nurse paused and then pulled the excited patient's family members back, looking at Shen Yun dumbfounded. She had never expected that Professor Shen would be so direct and end the matter just like that.
Entering the intensive care unit, Shen Yun immediately spotted the emaciated figure on the hospital bed. A child in his teens, yet he looked anything but healthy. He was thin and frail, his arms like bamboo sticks, ready to break with a single squeeze. His bald head and the bruises all over his body betrayed his condition.
Walking to the bedside, Shen Yun sat beside her, placing her small hand, fingertips on the pulse. Listening to the beating pulse, Shen Yun frowned. The patient's condition was too serious. If she hadn't come, it wouldn't be long before the doctors issued a death notice.
"It's difficult..."
Regardless of whether the condition was difficult or not, the first thing to do was to reduce the fever. Chen Yun carefully examined the child and pulled out the medical records from the bedside. After confirming a few details, Chen Yun took out his own paper and pen and wrote down a Chinese medicine prescription. While it wouldn't completely cure the symptoms, it would provide some relief. Hopefully, it would help the child survive this ordeal.
