Chapter 152: Playing with Flowers & Relying on the Support of Peers
"Director Jin, please wait a moment."
Director Jin paused, wondering if Shu Jinyue wanted to push the patient back again? That won’t do! He had finally convinced this family to transfer to Jinyue Hospital. If he were to send them back, wouldn't all his work be in vain?
"I should have stayed and studied with Dean Shu, but I have something else to do in my department and I can't leave. I have to leave first."
"You can go, but let's hand over the patient first, am I right?" Shu Jinyue winked, and the doctor from the inpatient department came over, holding the medical records and various materials and checking them with him one by one. He asked the patient one by one, with only one requirement: that all three parties be present. They needed to clarify in front of the patient what examinations had been done, what treatments had been given, and what the results were.
Director Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he could take the child back.
"After the handover is complete, please ask Director Jin to write a written explanation of why the patient was transferred to our hospital, and complete the necessary procedures. This is responsible not only to the patient, but also to colleagues, right?"
Director Jin was in the wrong. He was afraid that Shu Jinyue would refuse, so he transferred the patient here without even saying hello or consulting Shu. If someone with a worse temper had a bad temper, they would not have bothered to pay attention to him.
Now Jin Yue is just following the rules to avoid any confusion in the future. It can't be considered as deliberately blocking him with procedures. Jin Yue really doesn't care about that.
After completing all the formalities, Jin Yue did not delay and immediately started to treat Xiao Ling. His tongue and pulse were the same as last time, and his symptoms were similar, but his mental state was much worse. When he measured his body temperature, he found that it was a little higher than last time, reaching the level of moderate fever.
Now Yue didn't waste any words and just asked, "Did you come into contact with anyone with mumps within three days to three weeks before you became ill?"
She didn't think about it at first, mainly because Xiao Ling's age made it difficult for him to get mumps. The susceptible age for this disease is 3 to 15 years old, and he was obviously an adult. But the facts prove that it is not that adults will not be infected, it is just rare, and once infected, the condition is more serious than in children.
Xiao Ling was in a very bad mental state and seemed unable to speak.
Ling's mother quickly answered for him: "I know it's an infectious disease. No, no one in my neighborhood has it, and neither do his classmates. They're all adults, how could they have mumps? He's the only one in his class who asked for leave during this time. The head teacher told me that the other day."
Father Ling's tightly knitted brows never relaxed. He called Shu Jinyue aside and seemed to have made up his mind. He spoke with difficulty, "Dean Shu, our only request now is to save his life. If the testicle is really not good, we should remove the sick one. We agree to the operation. I heard that your hospital's surgical skills are also very high."
Shu Jinyue knew with his toes that these words were said by that old-fashioned Director Jin. He must have tried his best to persuade them to have surgery. When there is no other way, just leave it alone, which is also the panacea thinking of some Western doctors, just like if a banana is rotten, just cut off the rotten part. But he didn't dare to jump to conclusions. The surgery department, especially Zhang Zhen, had evaluated it and did not recommend surgery, so he put this idea to Jinyue.
The family members also prefer surgery.
Unfortunately, Shu Jinyue didn't fall for his trick!
Wang Manli’s experience told her that the organ should not be removed unless it is absolutely necessary, because it is not just a part of the patient’s body, but also affects his mental health and personal dignity for many years to come.
Of course, more importantly, from Zhao Xiaowu's experience - "In your son's case, it may not be enough to just remove one testicle. The other testicle should have been damaged as well."
Ling's father was shocked. He said, "After all, he couldn't cut off both of them. That would be the same as castration of his own flesh. His family had been a single-son family for three generations. He was only eighteen years old and had no children."
"No, you can't cut both sides. No, no, absolutely not."
Shu Jinyue thought to himself that he was not wrong. Sure enough, what Ling's father said as "acceptable" could not be taken seriously. In his heart, he still couldn't accept that his son lacked something. After several contacts, Shu Jinyue knew the character of the couple. They were the kind of patient's family members that clinical doctors feared the most. The serious doctors tried to persuade them for a long time, giving examples, facts and reasoning, and saying good or bad words, but they just wouldn't listen after a few threats from a veteran like Director Jin, and they immediately became as obedient as dogs and didn't dare to go west.
"I can treat him without surgery."
Ling's father, who had been chattering nonstop, suddenly stopped talking as if he had stepped on the brakes. "What did you say?"
Without waiting for Jin Yue to repeat, he suddenly shook his hands with excitement, "Yes, if it really can save my son's life, I can, I can donate 3,000 yuan to your hospital, I can!"
To be honest, Shu Jinyue doesn't really care about three thousand yuan now, but compared with the current price, three thousand yuan is already a lot. According to the per capita medical expenses in the past three months, it is enough to cure at least ten people. They may not get sick, but it is enough to cure common and frequently occurring diseases.
This money is not needed today, but it can help many people in need solve big problems. "good."
Jin Yue was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, so he walked back to the bed, looked at Xiao Ling and said, "I can cure your disease, but you have to tell me the truth, how did you get mumps?"
She no longer asked him whether he had been infected, but directly confirmed that he was infected.
Xiao Ling's expression froze for a moment, but when he thought of the papaya-sized thing hanging down there, and what Director Jin had said on the way here, that the situation wasn't good and that surgery might be needed to remove it, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "It was infected by my classmate's younger brother."
"Which classmate? When did you go to your classmate's house?"
"Why didn't you tell us you were going to your classmate's house?"
"What a shitty classmate you are! Tell me your name now! I'm going to find your class teacher and ask him to pay me back. My son can't suffer in vain."
…
Xiao Ling had just mustered up the courage, but under their aggressiveness, he dared not speak.
The reason why Shu Jinyue asked this question was not without purpose, but because she had always felt that Xiao Ling's testicles were incredibly swollen. Even if it was due to the influence of the mumps virus, it was strange that they were so swollen, unless he had been infected with the mumps virus and then had some "overuse" of his testicles. Just like a machine, if it is used intensively for a long time, it is easy to short-circuit or even break down.
Last time, he and his family repeatedly denied his sexual history. Neither Liu Jinbu nor Director Jin asked about it, so Jin Yue didn't plan to think about it anymore.
But now, judging from Xiao Ling's dodging, she should have guessed correctly.
This child is not the "good boy" he appears to be. It is true that he has excellent grades and can enter a key university in the country. But when his parents and teachers are not around, he may be another person.
However, that was not Jin Yue's business. She was only concerned with treating the patient. She asked these questions just to confirm her own guess. As long as you know that you guessed correctly, the medication is also very simple, just detoxify, reduce fire, promote blood circulation and relieve blood stasis.
Jin Yue already had a corresponding prescription in his mind, and he just needed to make slight adjustments according to his physical condition.
Shu Jinyue went back to the office to write a prescription and asked Anna to send it to the inpatient department. The inpatient department had its own person who was responsible for going back and forth to the pharmacy to get and decoct medicine. Jinyue just leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Raising a child is so difficult. It is not as simple as providing food and clothing. Proper education and positive guidance are more difficult than making money. The personalities of Ling's father and mother reminded her of a case she had treated before - Li Xiangdong's younger brother, Li Xiangyang.
Under the suppression of the irritable butcher Li, Li Xiangyang gradually grew up to be a cowardly, timid and sensitive boy, but at least he just kept it to himself and did not go out to "mess around". Xiao Ling was different. He was too smart. His brain that could read was different. He knew how to fight a guerrilla war with his parents and how to "do whatever he wanted" under their noses.
Judging from the swelling that hadn't gone down for such a long time, Shu Jinyue suspected that he was really having an affair, and that it might be with more than one person. He admitted that day that he used Fengyoujing, and Shu Jinyue even had a bold guess -
Maybe it's not to reduce swelling, but to pursue excitement.
After all, supplies were limited back then, unlike in later times, where anyone with an account could purchase all kinds of aphrodisiacs online, whether icy, hot, lubricating, or scented. There were many choices and they were easier to obtain.
Jin Yue still remembered that when she asked about the Fengyoujing, the boy's eyes were like a frightened deer, and even she was deceived.
"This patient is not only a ruthless person, but also a playful one." She sighed, and suddenly heard a sneer from behind, "Ge Hong, have you discovered something new?"
"This young man is really good at having fun. If I remember correctly, I should have seen him near a dance hall in the south of the city. He was with several young people, both men and women. He also smoked a lot."
The Ling family lived in the north of the city, and when he went to the south to hang out, his parents couldn't see him. However, "if he smoked, there was no smell of cigarettes in his mouth."
"Doesn't this just prove that he is cautious and insincere?" Ge Hong smiled. "I have a good memory. If others have only seen him once or twice, they may not remember it."
At that time, she had not come to work with Shu Jinyue yet, and was doing other things over there. She could still remember the young man whom she had never spoken to. Shu Jinyue was impressed: "You have a good memory, which is different from ordinary people. You are gifted."
She boasted that she had a good memory, which was given by her rebirth as a golden finger, but compared with Ge Hong, it was still a little bit behind.
"However, this family is quite interesting. Strong parents, a repressive environment, and a son who appears to be well-behaved but is actually a playboy. I don't know when they will start to fall out with each other."
Jin Yue was also looking forward to it, but her child was going to take the college entrance examination in less than two months, and she didn't want to be the bad person who exposed the truth, so she didn't continue to ask questions and stopped there.
When he returned home for lunch at noon, Jin Yue looked at his two little kids and felt a little uncertain about the future. What would they become when they grew up? Are there times when you are so mad at her that you wish you could stuff her back into your stomach? Will I not talk to her nicely during her rebellious period? Will I be two-faced and hypocritical?
But it doesn't matter anymore, she just wants them to be happy and healthy, nothing else matters.
What she wanted was a child, not two obedient human-shaped dolls.
Xiao Ling was young after all, with a good physical condition and was sensitive to drugs. After taking two doses of medicine, by the morning of the fourth day, when Jin Yue went to check on him, the swollen testicles had shrunk by more than half, with the longest diameter remaining only about six centimeters.
And it was only after it disappeared that Jin Yue discovered that there were still many scratches on it. He didn't know whether they were caused by himself or... by playing around.
Anyway, every time the examination was done, Ling's father was there. As an adult, he could probably guess something. Jin Yue didn't say much and just focused on prescribing medicine.
It was on the fifth day when Jin Yue heard Ling's mother asking who had infected him with mumps during the ward rounds. She asked all the classmates, and they said that either they didn't have a younger brother, or those who had a younger brother didn't have mumps.
Jin Yue didn't know how Xiao Ling dealt with them, and he wasn't curious.
***
As for Director Jin, he has been in a very good mood since he came back from Jinyue Hospital. He hums little songs every day when he goes to work. If you don’t know him, you might think he has picked up money.
Nephew Jin was a little confused, "Uncle, why are you so happy? What if Dean Shu really cures me?"
"Cure? Do you think that's possible?" Director Jin sneered. "We doctors are kindhearted. We don't just hope that our patients will get worse. But this patient may not be able to get better. At most, we can just have surgery to remove his right testicle."
"But do you think this is all right? Ling's parents are like that. When they were waiting for life to be saved, they just cut it off without hesitation. They said nice things like 'I'll listen to the doctor', but when the patient was really saved, they regretted it. Think about it, how much impact will cutting off a testicle have on a man? It not only affects his future sexual function and reproductive ability, but also his dignity!"
In clinical practice, he has seen many cases where patients' personalities changed drastically and they began to doubt their lives due to the removal of their sexual organs. Some even regretted the procedure more and more and thought that it was a misdiagnosis or misoperation by the doctor, and then came back to cause trouble for the doctor.
"Patients are just servile. When they are waiting for their lives to be saved, they will say one thing, but once their lives are saved, they will think over and over again about the doctor's process of saving the patient, hoping to find more mistakes and loopholes. If Shu Jinyue can't cure this patient, then she will destroy her own reputation. If she can cure him through surgery, then she can only wait for the family members to find fault with her afterwards, hey!"
After hearing this, nephew Jin also looked gloating. "Let her be in the limelight, let her snatch patients. The higher she climbs, the harder she falls."
"So you should learn from her experience and keep a low profile when you are young, and don't try to attract attention."
"Okay, Third Uncle, don't worry, I won't be like her."
The uncle and nephew felt happy just thinking about that scene. "By the way, you should pay more attention to that hospital in the next few days. Maybe we can see the excitement sooner."
Unexpectedly, he waited and waited, and after three days, he didn't hear that Xiao Ling had any accident. He waited for another three days, and Jinyue Hospital was still calm.
Half a month later, they still hadn't heard any news, and they couldn't find out anything. The Jinyue Hospital, which Shu Jinyue had ordered, was like an iron barrel. No matter how they inquired, they couldn't find out any news at all.
Finally, in June, the weather was getting hotter day by day. Director Jin remembered that his wife and Xiao Ling's mother seemed to be distant cousins, so he asked her to go and find out.
Mrs. Jin was born before the liberation. She had little education, was not very good at speaking, was ignorant, and was addicted to feudal superstitious activities such as fortune-telling and divination. To use the words Director Jin often used to scold her, she was "stupid."
Mrs. Jin had long been unhappy with Shu Jinyue. She always felt that her husband did not become the vice president (and she herself did not become the vice president's wife) because of Secretary Zhang Zhen's opposition, and the instigator was her sister-in-law Shu Jinyue. She also wanted to watch the fun, so she took a weekend, called the wives of several senior directors in the hospital, and several colleagues from the unit, and rushed to "visit the patient."
Mrs. Jin worked at the Municipal Health Bureau and held a spare position in the office, but she was familiar with the leaders of various departments. She did not say that she was going to watch the fun, but said that there was a newly opened clothing store nearby with trendy styles and high quality, but the prices were a bit expensive, so she wanted to go and take a look.
The wives of these big directors usually have nothing to do, so when they heard that someone was going to buy clothes, and that it was a newly opened high-end clothing store, they immediately became interested and several of them, dressed in fancy clothes, came to the vicinity of the Ling family. The spring breeze of reform has lifted people's hearts. If she hadn't said "the price is too high", they might not have gone. But as soon as she said it, whoever didn't go seemed to have a poor man.
Mrs. Jin couldn't remember where this distant cousin lived, she only vaguely remembered that it was in the family quarters of the supply and marketing system. The location of this family quarters is quite good, right next to the main road, and the newly opened clothing store she mentioned is on the same side of the road.
She walked to the gate, thinking about how to quietly ask the guard for the specific address while these wives of officials were not paying attention, and then pretend to say that she wanted to go and see her cousin and asked them to wait for a while. At this time, she would lead Ling's mother, who was crying so hard that she wanted to eat Shu Jinyue's flesh, to the main road, so that they could hear it and then spread it.
She didn't bring these people today randomly. The wives of the directors of the major departments of the municipal hospital are fine, but these people are guaranteed to spread Shu Jinyue's notoriety to the entire medical system. In addition, those colleagues are all in charge of Shu Jinyue. The private hospital is now in the pilot stage, and it depends on them whether it can be established and on what scale. If they knew that Jinyue Hospital had killed someone, there would be a good show to watch!
If these people want to cause trouble for a private hospital, isn't it just a matter of moving their fingers?
If the situation gets more serious, the hospital will have to close down!
Mrs. Jin could hardly hide her smile when she thought of that scene. As she was thinking, she suddenly heard the crackling sound of firecrackers not far away.
"Alas, this old Ling family."
Her ears immediately pricked up, "Comrade, is it the Ling family that set off the firecrackers?"
"Yes, you are here for Old Ling's house too, right? Alas..." The guard sighed, looking as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"What's going on? What's going on with their family? Is it their son..."
"You know it too, it's Xiao Ling, a good kid, what a pity."
This time, Mrs. Jin jumped up with joy, thinking that what Mr. Jin said was right, something really happened! What distant cousin? In fact, she was a relationship that the Ling family brought together in order to get medical treatment. She had never seen this "cousin" since she was a child, so she had no sympathy for her. She didn't feel anything when their child died. Old Jin guessed right!
She quickly grabbed everyone who was about to go to the clothing store and said, "You don't know, my cousin is so unlucky. I finally raised a son who is eighteen years old. He has good grades and is a good candidate for a key university. But...just like this...wuwu..."
Everyone else was frightened by her sudden burst into tears, "Mr. Jin, why are you crying? What's wrong? What happened?"
Mrs. Jin sobbed and cried bitterly, "Private hospitals are killing people. The quack doctor killed my child. He was only eighteen years old. If nothing had happened, he would have been able to take the college entrance examination right away!"
When the others heard the words "killed someone", their hearts skipped a beat. They were all related to this industry, especially those from the Health Bureau, who immediately frowned and asked, "Is this a medical accident?"
"He was an eighteen-year-old boy, and he was gone just like that. I remember I held him in my arms when I was a child. He was fair and chubby. The last time I saw him, he had grown to a tall man of 1.8 meters. How could he be killed by someone like that... Woohoo..."
Is there anything more heartbreaking than witnessing the passing of a thriving life? Others also felt bad after hearing this, and some of them who were soft-hearted had already started to curse the doctor as a quack.
"This is a private hospital, it's a place where people are trying to make money and kill people!"
"That Doctor Shu is just a quack who brags about himself. This time he killed the child. If I were the child's parents, I would kill her!"
…
Some were crying and some were cursing, when suddenly a voice rang out from behind: "Aunt, why are you here?"
Mrs. Jin thought the voice sounded familiar. She turned around and saw a familiar young man standing behind her. She is old, and her eyes become dry and blurry easily, and she always sees double. However, in order to express her true feelings, she has been standing in the sun crying. At this time, she sees people standing in the shadow, and her eyes cannot adapt to the sudden dimming of the light.
That pale face, dark circles under the eyes, that sinister smile...
Mrs. Jin, who believed in ghosts and gods and was obsessed with feudal superstitions, said: "Ah! Ghost! I saw a ghost!!"
"I know you died miserably, but don't blame my old Jin. My old Jin tried his best. He could only push you to Shu Jinyue. She was the one who killed you. Go find her, don't come to me."
Everyone: “???”
The young man took two steps forward, smiling, but not laughing, and said, "Aunt, so you know that it was Director Jin who delayed me."
Mrs. Jin covered her eyes in fear. "I know. My old Jin has no talent, and his medical skills are not very high. He also cares about his reputation, so he never pushed you to Shu Jinyue. He delayed you, but he really didn't kill you. You should go find Shu Jinyue."
The people around her couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her, "Old Jin, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. He can't blame me if he died unjustly. It has nothing to do with me. I'm not a doctor."
Others: “…”
"Take another good look. The child is alive and well. What nonsense are you talking about?"
"How is that possible? My old Jin said that he will definitely die. Sending him to find Shu Jinyue is to let him die. But he has to die somewhere else, not in Old Jin's department."
Now, everyone else couldn't listen anymore. Although everyone had this little thought to a certain extent and didn't want to get into "trouble", that was the unspoken thought in the industry. You are saying it in public now, and you say it so confidently, without any guilt at all. What does it mean?
Even the security guard was angry. "Comrade, how can you be a doctor like your wife? Where does he put the patient's life? A life is just thrown away like this?"
"No wonder you asked me if something happened to the Ling family right after you came here. Yes, something happened to the Ling family, but it was just a quarrel between parents and children, and Xiao Ling ran away from home. You are crying in the wrong place, right? Xiao Ling has been brought back by your tears."
Other onlookers were also angry, "Which hospital is your wife from? I will never go to this hospital for treatment again!"
"I heard it was from the city hospital."
"You still say that private hospitals are evil-hearted, but I think you are the ones with evil hearts and bad lungs!"
Ling's mother heard the noise and came out to see that the melon had actually been eaten by her. She was immediately annoyed and slapped her in the face: "Bah! I called you cousin, but you cursed my son like that? And you deliberately let Director Jin of your family delay time. Do you want to deliberately cure my son to death? Bah! You are so evil-hearted that you shall not die a good death!"
Those wives of officials who were dragged over hurriedly hid as far away as possible. They were not as stupid as Mrs. Jin. She was very smart and understood what was going on immediately.
Invite them to go shopping? In fact, they want to use them as guns!
Ling's mother was really angry. "I treated you as my relatives, but you treated us as scapegoats and even wanted to kill my son. You are really something! Everyone, come and take a look. Everyone has heard what this man said. His wife is the director of the respiratory department of our Shucheng Municipal Hospital. Her surname is Jin. This Director Jin is awesome. She treats human life as a joke and pushes patients away. If it weren't for Director Shu of Jinyue Hospital, my son would have been killed by them!"
So, word spread quickly, and before long, everyone in the area knew about Director Jin's "good name" and the good reputation of Jinyue Hospital.
When you ask Jin Yue Hospital, the answer is simple: the medical skills are excellent, the medical ethics are good, the fees are affordable, and it is trustworthy!
When Shu Jinyue knew about this, he could only sigh that sometimes you don't have to be so great yourself, it all depends on the support of your peers.
