Chapter 1221: [1221] Make a choice
After checking the patient’s wishes, Xie Wanying walked to the nurse’s station.
The patient’s son asked worriedly, "Is there a hospital bed available?"
Common people know that in large hospitals like Guoxie, hospital beds are scarce, so when the doctor mentioned hospitalization, the patient’s son was eager to agree.
The question of bed availability is something doctors usually know when they take over their shift. Xie Wanying suspected that Teacher Xin might have received some phone notification before the shift. Therefore, she walked to the nurse’s station and directly asked the nurse, "Is there a bed available in General Surgery Department Two?"
"Yes, General Surgery Department Two has beds available. Their director called earlier and mentioned that there are several beds."
Having spent time in General Surgery Department Two, Xie Wanying knew that Senior Shen, the director, liked admitting emergency patients and often asked the doctors on duty during the day to reserve some beds for emergencies. The reason is that emergency patients are in critical condition, providing more opportunities for doctors to earn while also significantly training young doctors’ capabilities. It’s not without reason that General Surgery Department Two has better economic benefits than General Surgery Department One. Although for this reason, Teacher Xiao Sun and the others often complained.
Xie Wanying asked the nurse to inform General Surgery Ward Two to prepare to admit a patient suspected of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
The nurse called General Surgery Department Two.
The doctor on duty in General Surgery Department Two asked, "Who saw the patient?"
It was probably a casual question to facilitate communication with the emergency department’s attending physician after the patient’s admission.
"It was Dr. Xie," the nurse replied with her name.
"Which department’s Dr. Xie?" Initially, the teachers in General Surgery Department Two probably didn’t expect it to be her, Xie Wanying.
"Dr. Xie, who is interning with Doctor Xin," the nurse chuckled, "she’s interned in your department before."
Realizing it was her, Tan Kelin’s student, the colleague laughed along with the nurse, expressing understanding.
Actually, General Surgery Department One also had available beds tonight. Xin Yanjun left the opportunity of pleasing a department to the student. Xie Wanying was grateful for Teacher Xin’s caring heart, and decided to learn from Teacher Xin’s methods when mentoring students in the future.
Returning to the consultation room to inform the patient of the availability of a hospital bed. The patient’s son was no longer angry and expressed gratitude to the two doctors before him. Simply put, as long as the doctor could satisfy the patient and their family, everything would be fine.
The problem is that some family’s requests can be met, while others are quite difficult.
Speaking of the elderly woman on the gurney in the corridor outside, due to the family’s incomplete trust, she had to be sent to the Observation Room first, even though she needed to be admitted.
Doctors cannot let patients go home immediately after receiving injections, as accidents could happen.
The emergency blood results for the child came out, and Xin Yanjun took the student to see the child, supporting the student’s diagnosis of acute tonsillitis, and prescribed an antibiotic treatment plan.
An ambulance returning from a call parked at the entrance, and Doctor Dong jumped out, bringing a suspected angina patient to the emergency room.
Seeing her colleague, Xin Yanjun repeatedly said, "Thank you, thank you, next time I’ll go out on a call."
"No need to be polite," Doctor Dong waved to both of them, smiling broadly as he said, "I wonder if Dr. Yin’s girlfriend brought us supper."
"Are you hungry? Haven’t you eaten tonight?"
"No, I’m just curious about what’s delicious tonight."
The two internal medicine doctors chatted and laughed, and suddenly saw Yin Fengchun rushing out from the surgery consultation room to see a patient. Xin Yanjun and Doctor Dong immediately stopped talking, fearing it was too late.
Yin Fengchun glanced at the two of them, hearing what they said, he frowned discontentedly: Is my girlfriend here specifically to bring you guys food?
"He is very protective of his girlfriend," after he left, Doctor Dong whispered to Xin Yanjun with lingering fear.
They are in the passionate phase of their romance after all.
