An Jing rushed into the emergency doctor's ward and tried hard to remind the doctor.
"Doctor, my dad doesn't have ordinary food poisoning, please check carefully!"
The doctor who was always scheduled for the late-night emergency shift was already annoyed. As a recent graduate, he did not enter the hospital because of his outstanding academic performance, but because he found ways to make connections.
"Can't you see I still have patients here? I've already prescribed the medicine, given the IV drip, and now I need to observe them!"
"It will be too late then..."
"What do you mean it's too late? You are the doctor and I am the doctor?!"
There was an inexplicable authority on the young face. He frowned and ignored An Jing. He continued to ask the patient next to him about his condition and wrote a prescription based on the other's description.
An Jing was stunned. What was too late? Why did she think it was too late? Her father had always been healthy.
Tonight he just had vomiting and diarrhea and a fever before going to bed. It looked like ordinary food poisoning or stomach cold. Why did I think it was too late?
Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about...
An Jing returned to her father's side. He closed his eyes in pain, and his mother was just covering his cold hand from the IV drip.
"You, I told you to eat less raw food. You are so old but you still eat like a young person..."
My mother's tone was somewhat reproachful, and she didn't realize at all how serious my father's illness was.
An Jing was very uneasy, but she didn't know why she was uneasy.
"Hello, nurse, can you measure my dad's blood pressure?"
The night nurse, who was chatting with someone next to her, got up to get the equipment although she was a little reluctant.
Her father was basically in a coma, and An Jing always felt that a common stomach cold wouldn't be so serious.
The nurse was stunned when she saw the result. "High pressure 69..."
An Jing's eyes widened. This number showed that the blood circulation was very poor. She continued to rush to the doctor's office. Only after An Jing's repeated requests did she conduct further examinations on her father.
It was already early morning when the doctor received the test results. He frowned at the complicated results.
He never memorized any knowledge from books, and he just got a diploma in college. As long as he had the background, he didn't worry about not finding a job.
The test results showed abnormalities, but he didn't know what the disease was.
His family finally managed to get him into a general tertiary hospital in the city, but he was always on the night shift emergency room duty and could only treat common colds, fevers, and diarrhea.
"Our hospital can't treat this disease. Send him to Shengning Central Hospital. It looks like acute leukemia..."
The doctor used his limited knowledge to judge that the condition was very serious and the patient could not be saved in his hands.
The mother felt dizzy when she heard the news, but after a moment of rational thinking, she felt that something was wrong.
According to common sense, people with acute leukemia will have blood spots and petechiae, but there are none on Anyi, so this is not acute leukemia...
She encouraged herself, thinking it was normal for a young doctor to make mistakes. But the mother and daughter did not dare to delay, and An Jing quickly took her parents to the largest central hospital in Shengning.
My father was already in a coma and had only weak responses.
Even though Sheng Ning showed the new doctor all the indicators and the judgment of the doctors in the previous hospital, the other party did not even raise his head and continued to ask An Jing to do the tests. He did not recognize the results from other hospitals.
If your blood pressure is low, you should first take blood pressure-raising drugs.
No matter how anxious the family members are, the doctors are very calm. They are just doing their job and don't care about other people's life or death.
"It's not leukemia at first glance. Wait for the test. It could be food poisoning plus dehydration. This is normal for an old man. Go over and wait."
He urged An Jing to take Anyi away. He believed in his own experience and judgment that many elderly people would appear weak when they were slightly ill, which was normal.
An Jing pressed for the test results again and again, but the staff member just said, "Just wait," and then rudely lowered the window bars.
Bottles of blood pressure-raising drugs were injected into Anyi's body, but he showed no signs of improvement.
An Jing asked the nurse to measure her blood pressure again, but it was still hovering around 70.
"That shouldn't be the case. I've never seen anyone with such low blood pressure after taking three bottles of blood pressure medication..."
The nurse was a little puzzled, but she had no professional knowledge to support her opinion, so she could only remind An Jing to ask the doctor again.
The doctor yawned as he looked at the test results. "Your father's illness is indeed quite serious. Initial suspicion is that he has an infection. Further evaluation is needed."
He didn't tell An Jing that further judgment was needed because he couldn't understand the indicators related to infection, and he needed to wait for the people in the infectious department to come to work before he could make a decision.
He didn't want to admit his lack of expertise; after all, he was going to be the director of the selection.
An Jing's anxiety grew stronger and stronger, but her mother was more optimistic. She thought that since the patient had been sent to the hospital immediately, there should be no problem.
This dragged on until morning, when the emergency doctor called the director of the infectious disease department and asked him to look at the infection indicators.
The director could tell at a glance that this person was almost beyond saving. Infection is a disease that deteriorates very quickly and it is difficult to treat if the initial time is missed.
But he knew that this person could not die in his department, as the number of deaths would affect his department's quarterly report.
"This is shock caused by infection. We have no beds left in our department. Please go to the ICU."
"What do you mean... Doctor, is this illness so serious? Is it because there are no beds available and we need to go to the ICU, or is it because the illness is serious and we need to go to the ICU?"
The mother, who had not slept all night, was a little angry because she had never heard of a situation where the patient had to be sent to the ICU because there was no bed available.
