Chapter 519: Let Everyone Go in vain
Because of the New Year's Day holiday, I have to work Thursday's shift on Sunday.
Yu Zhiming, who returned to his rented apartment in Zijin Garden around eleven o'clock last night, got up and washed up at the same time as usual...
Dr. Xiong Jing, a heart transplant expert from Huashan Hospital, rushed to Ning'an Hospital at nearly eight o'clock in the morning.
Xiong Jing had messy hair and bloodshot eyes, but his gaze was exceptionally bright.
Facing Grandpa Gu and Gu Qingran who had hurried to the villa, Xiong Jing explained: "I couldn't sleep at night. I kept thinking about what Doctor Yu said last night..."
"The old man's heart function has not yet been fully stimulated, so we can be more bold in using the medication."
After a pause, Xiong Jing excitedly said, "This morning, half asleep and half awake, I suddenly came up with a risky recipe."
"Risk?" Gu Qingran frowned.
Xiong Jing quickly explained, "Dean Gu, I have taken the old man's heart and physical condition into consideration. This risky prescription is only relative to my previous prescription."
"I'm confident that even if there's something wrong with the prescription, it's still within the tolerance range of the old man's heart and body."
This made Gu Qingran even more dissatisfied, and he asked, "Doctor Xiong, do you mean to let my grandfather try the medicine by trial and error?"
"Qing Ran, watch your attitude!"
The old man criticized his eldest grandson, then looked at Xiong Jing and said with a kind smile, "Doctor Xiong, the moment you walked in here this morning, I could tell from your expression and movements that you came here with great success."
"Over the years, I've seen many people come to me with expressions and actions similar to yours. Without exception, they all have quite outstanding discoveries or insights."
"Am I being so obvious?"
Xiong touched his face and said a little embarrassedly, "I've been struggling with the medication regimen for a heart transplant patient these past few days, and there's been no progress."
"This time, with Dr. Yu's reminder, I feel like I've suddenly gotten some clarity on adjusting your medication regimen."
“I’m using medicine this time…”
Xiong said excitedly, "The risk is that it will significantly reduce your immunity."
"During this period, you need to strictly control your diet, temperature changes in your living environment, visits from outsiders, etc., to avoid colds, fevers, and other viruses."
"Once your heart function is fully stimulated and adapted, I will adjust the medication to boost your immunity."
The old man asked expectantly, "Doctor Xiong, I just had breakfast and haven't taken my medicine for today yet. I can't wait to try it."
"Shall we begin now?"
Gu Qingran quickly stopped him and said, "Grandpa, testing medicine is no small matter. We have to get Zhiming here before we start, right?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Stop bothering Xiao Yu."
After a pause, he continued, "Doctor Xiong is a well-known heart transplant expert and can be trusted."
"Doctor Xiong, please take out the medicine."
"Guo Lao, thank you for your trust."
As he spoke, Xiong took out a packet of medicine he had prepared at home from his pocket.
He looked at Gu Qingran again and said confidently, "Dean Gu, I can't guarantee that this medicine will achieve the best effect I expect, but I can guarantee that even if the worst effect occurs, it will be within my control."
Gu Qingran was silent for a moment, then nodded...
Nearly half an hour later, in a room in the villa that was similar to an ICU, the old man was lying on a hospital bed with the head tilted at 45 degrees, with several monitoring data cables connected to his body.
"Guodu, how do you feel now?"
The old man stroked his left chest with his right hand, closed his eyes and felt it quietly for a moment.
Then, he opened his eyes, facing the tense and worried gazes of several people, and said slowly, "I can clearly feel it. It's like winter is gone and spring is here. I take off my thick winter clothes. There's a feeling of being freed from constraints and feeling light all over..."
At this moment, Yu Zhiming, who had just arrived at the hospital, discovered a major incident while checking the ward.
One patient died.
This patient is a 61-year-old male who suffers from complex peripheral neuropathy and is a patient of Teacher Qi.
He was lying on his side on the bed, looking like he was fast asleep. But as soon as Yu Zhiming entered the double ward, he realized something was wrong.
He was no longer breathing.
Yu Zhiming quickly checked and found that his body was cold.
He had been dead for at least four or five hours.
Yu Zhiming suppressed his panic and hurried to investigate the cause of the patient's death.
The reason was soon discovered.
There is a foreign object in the trachea!
He choked to death.
Yu Zhiming felt relieved, but at the same time, he was filled with fear and suspicion.
When a person is choked to death, he will struggle and call for help. How come he is covered with the quilt and looks like he is sleeping soundly?
Unless someone moved his body after he died.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhiming instantly withdrew his hands and moved one meter away from the deceased.
"Doctor Li, Sister Zhan!"
Yu Zhiming shouted loudly to Dr. Wang Zhijin and Head Nurse Zhan Qi who were on duty.
The two of them arrived quickly, followed by several residents, interns, and young nurses.
Yu Zhiming lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Wang, Sister Zhan, the patient in bed two has passed away!"
"Choked to death!"
"But the body posture is obviously wrong. It seems someone has touched it."
These words surprised Wang Zhijin and Zhan Qi, and they quickly went to the patient in bed 2 to check his heartbeat and breathing.
After confirming that everything was correct, the two of them looked extremely ugly.
Zhan Qi, who was more experienced, quickly calmed down and said, "Notify the medical department, call the police, and notify the patient's family."
She thought of something and said, "Hey, I remember this patient had a caregiver accompanying him at night."
"Where is that nurse?"
First, professional staff from the Medical Department who handle medical disputes arrived, followed by the police.
The patient's family arrived at 9:15.
At this time, Yu Zhiming, who was the first to discover the patient's death, had finished taking notes.
He also learned some more information.
There were still some food residues of a snack called Qingtuan in the deceased's mouth.
This is a sticky snack made from glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour.
As for the caregiver who could not be found, according to the surveillance footage, he hurriedly left the center building at 4:16 in the morning and never returned.
Based on the existing facts, Yu Zhiming and Zhou Mo deduced that what happened was that the patient choked while eating green rice dumplings in the middle of the night.
The nurse who should have stayed awake and taken care of the patient all night was unable to notice the abnormality of the patient because he was fast asleep, resulting in the patient not receiving timely treatment and eventually dying.
When the nurse regained consciousness, she discovered that the patient had choked to death.
Because of the fear of taking responsibility, the caregiver pretended that the deceased was sleeping soundly and ran away.
Zhou Mo sighed and said, "Luckily, the deceased's family hired a caregiver from outside. If the caregiver our hospital arranged had just run away, we would have had to pay a huge sum of money."
A nurse is a staff member in a hospital who is employed by patients or their families to assist nurses in providing daily care and assistance to patients.
Huashan Hospital has its own nursing department, which manages a group of nurses who have received professional nursing skills training.
These caregivers can be hired by the patient or assigned by the attending physician to care for the patient.
The fees charged by these professional caregivers are not low, generally between three hundred and six hundred yuan a day.
If the patient is paralyzed or unable to take care of himself, the cost of nursing care for one day can be as high as more than a thousand yuan.
In order to save money, some patients' families will hire domestic service workers who do not have accompanying skills to take care of the patients.
Yu Zhiming sighed softly, "I hope the patient's family can clarify the responsibility and not sue us as well."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "This is unavoidable."
"How much money could the family of that absconding nurse have? Even a single hair plucking from our hospital would be enough to support a family for a lifetime."
"It is inevitable that our hospital will be held responsible."
Yu Zhiming also knew that the social atmosphere nowadays was not very good. Whenever someone died in an accident, the family members would want to grab every bit of the road under their feet and every bit of wind that blew past to make money.
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and asked, "You're going to work at the sanatorium with me on New Year's Day, so what about the New Year's concert?"
Zhou Mo said with regret: "I can only give up."
"I've thought about it too. With two tickets, my mom will definitely secretly give hers to Qi Zhen."
"That's good too. My mom can finally take a break from her busy life and go enjoy the concert."
"I'll transfer the other ticket, hehe..."
Yu Zhi understood this guy at a glance and continued to devote himself to his work.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming returned to the large office to drink a glass of water and replenish some energy.
I didn't see Zhou Mo, but I unexpectedly saw Qi Zhen, as well as nearly twenty or thirty men, women, young and old.
Yu Zhiming frowned slightly.
He smelled some alcohol on Qi Zhen.
"Zhou Mo may have gone to the comprehensive building to do some work. I don't know when he will be back." Yu Zhiming made up a lie!
Qi Zhen smiled lightly and said, "Doctor Yu, I'm not here to see Momo this time, I'm here to see you."
He pointed at the twenty or thirty people around him.
"Doctor Yu, these are some of my best classmates from high school, and their families."
"They all know that you have amazing medical skills, especially good at physical examinations and detecting various physical ailments."
After a pause, Qi Zhen chuckled again and said, "Doctor Yu, I have already promised them that you will examine their bodies."
"Just work hard for a while, and I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."
Yu Zhiming slowly drank the cup of warm water and then gently placed the cup on the desk.
He looked at Qi Zhen and said indifferently, "My work schedule was already full before the New Year."
“There’s no way to change that.”
"I can only say sorry for making you come here for nothing."
After he finished speaking, Yu Zhiming nodded to everyone in the room, then turned and left the office, and continued to get busy.
After Yu Zhiming left, a beautiful young woman asked, "Qi Zhen, what's going on?"
"At the party last night, you took all the blame and said it was just a small matter."
"We either took leave today or excused ourselves from important arrangements to come here."
Qi Zhen's face twitched as he was being questioned, and his expression was distorted...
Please support me with monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc.!!!
