Zhang Huayao asked her to prepare beds, which meant that the two patients would most likely need emergency treatment immediately upon arrival, and it would probably take time to free up beds at this time.
After thinking it through, the head nurse turned around and instructed the nurses below: "Free up two emergency beds."
"Head nurse, the plane may not be able to land." The nurse below said, trying to be optimistic. No one wants to be too busy at work, and the medical staff have the same mentality.
"You're overthinking. It will definitely land." The head nurse was very experienced in this regard. Unless there was a drastic weather change, this little thunderstorm would not affect the plane's landing at the airport. However, it would definitely affect the critically ill patients on board. Cardiovascular patients could be in danger of death at the slightest sign of trouble on normal days, let alone now that they were being bumped in the air with the plane.
"What should we do? Will he die on the plane?" The nurse who followed her leader nervously said this and immediately covered her mouth.
The head nurse waved her hand and asked her to prepare the emergency bed. She looked back and saw that the ambulance from her hospital was going to the airport to pick up the patient.
A male doctor on duty in the emergency department who was going to pick up the patient walked out of the surgical clinic and approached the head nurse and asked, "Head nurse, I want to know the condition of the patient we are going to pick up at the airport."
"Doctor Shi, are you driving?" The head nurse was surprised that it was the surgeon who drove. The 120 call didn't seem to say that two seriously ill patients needed surgeons. Doctor Shen who was notified before was an internist.
"Director Zhang asked me to go," said Dr. Shi.
...
...
Zhang Huayao's idea was simple. Of course, he would ask a surgeon from his own hospital to go and see Xie's ability with his own eyes before reporting to him. Only a surgical teacher could better understand and review the thinking and operation of a surgical student.
Not knowing what the leader was thinking, the head nurse truthfully conveyed the patient's information to Dr. Shi: "One of the patients is the one that Dr. Shen is going to pick up. Dr. Shen has sent another vehicle to the airport, and Dr. Xie is accompanying him. I don't know much about this patient's condition, and I didn't ask Dr. Shen. Dr. Shi, the patient you are going to pick up, according to information provided by Dr. Xie on the flight, this patient may have pericardial effusion."
"Pericardial effusion."
The head nurse thought to herself and agreed. Pericardial effusion might require surgical pericardiocentesis or pericardectomy, which would require a surgeon.
"Acute pericarditis, right?" Dr. Shi wondered what the patient's condition was.
"They said it was caused by hypothyroidism..." The head nurse who said this had no doubt that she was thinking that it was the patient himself who told Xie Wanying that it was hypothyroidism heart disease.
Dr. Shi thinks that it is unlikely that the patient will tell the doctor himself. In clinical practice, many patients with pericardial effusion do not know that they have heart disease before coming to the hospital. Moreover, most patients with hypothyroidism have no symptoms at all and only come to the hospital for examination when they have symptoms.
Could Dr. Xie tell that the other person had hypothyroidism on the plane? Dr. Shi thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go and see first."
What to see? The head nurse could only guess that the other party was talking about seeing the patient, and she didn't expect that Dr. Shi was talking about seeing Dr. Xie, who could diagnose hypothyroidism.
As the ambulance left the emergency department, the thunder stopped and rain began to fall from the sky.
A sudden thunderstorm hit the Capital Airport. Planes that were scheduled to land were temporarily unable to land, and the flights circled high in the sky around the Capital Airport waiting for the best time to land.
