Sometimes the hospital corridor is darker with the light behind it.
Doctor Ma took out a medical flashlight from the pocket of his white coat, bent down and used the flashlight to observe the abscess on the patient's calf.
"When was it discovered? Has it been found in your previous hospital?" Doctor Ma asked about the patient's medical history. He remembered that he did not mention the issue of calf abscesses at the beginning when he handed over the patient.
The family members simply shook their heads and said they didn’t know.
Sister Lingling whispered to the doctor her thoughts on the possible situation.
After hearing that it was a bedsore, Dr. Ma put away his flashlight and said, "Let's do the tests first. Finish the important tests on the doctor's orders first."
Abscesses are minor problems. They do not threaten the patient's life at the moment and there is no need to deal with them now. You can ignore them for now.
This has to do with the front-line duty system. Generally, the emergency department mainly deals with emergency problems. If the treatment can be delayed until daytime, it is better to wait for it to be handed over to the attending physician in charge of the bed who will take over tomorrow.
How to say it? The frontline doctors are young and their skills are not that good. Many young frontline doctors are very self-aware of this.

The family member reported: "But my mother feels pain in her legs now."
"Don't be afraid. We were going to give her an anti-inflammatory injection anyway." Dr. Ma told the family in simple terms.
The anti-inflammatory medicine will eliminate the abscess, so don't worry.
"Is anti-inflammatory medicine effective?" The family member didn't understand at once and asked the doctor again.
"She has appendicitis, so she definitely needs anti-inflammatory drugs. Wouldn't it be better if we could do it all at once without costing you more money?" said Dr. Ma.
Doctors Xie and Wen, who were standing nearby, heard the diagnosis of the patient being transferred to the Second Department of General Surgery of the National Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine before they saw the patient's medical records: he was suffering from appendicitis.
The problem of appendicitis has been mentioned many times in the previous article. It is a disease that can be serious or minor.
When it becomes serious, it is a disease that even gods cannot save. It is not as laymen take it for granted that appendicitis surgery is a basic surgical operation, a "minor operation", and they mistakenly think it is a minor illness.
In the case of the current patient, due to her overall poor physical condition, the first hospital where she was admitted for treatment did not dare to perform surgery on her. After discovering that she had appendicitis, they suggested that she be transferred to a better hospital for surgery.
Unexpectedly, the second hospital I was transferred to also refused to admit me. I finally contacted 120 and was transferred to the National Association for Medical Treatment as an emergency patient.
"Should my mother undergo surgery immediately after the examination?" the family members continued to ask the doctor, since he said that the surgery could be performed immediately after the examination.
When family members go to the doctor for help, it's usually because they are anxious to cure their loved one's illness. On the other hand, it's an economic issue. Every extra day of hospitalization means more money.
Doctors certainly can't just follow the family's wishes and speak from a professional perspective. Doctor Ma said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You need to complete all the examinations before you can have surgery."
"She had a checkup at the hospital before."
"Is the equipment in her hospital as advanced as the ones in our hospital? Sometimes the patient's condition develops very quickly, and it changes in a flash. It's hard to tell whether it will get better or worse. Whether or not surgery is needed should be decided after the examination. This is for your own good and will save you money, do you understand?" Dr. Ma said to the family earnestly.
From what we have just seen, Dr. Ma believes that his approach is in accordance with clinical procedures and there is nothing wrong with it.
It wasn't until Dr. Ma turned around and suddenly met the faces of Dr. Xie Wanying and Dr. Wen Zihan that he forgot that Mr. Xie was patrolling here.
Doctor Ma's heart was pounding and he felt inexplicably panicked.
