Great Medical System in a Veterinarian-Chapter 521 - 229: Critically Ill, Daily Tasks, Red Tag!

Chapter 521: Chapter 229: Critically Ill, Daily Tasks, Red Tag!

The human doctor’s job is specifically focused on surgery, not diagnosis.

For now, let’s just wait and see.

"I can’t believe they’re rushing us, okay, then let’s proceed to the next patient."

Huang Xiangning chuckled.

"Would patient number 2, Zhao Yanshu, please proceed to consultation room 8 for your appointment."

Huang Xiangning pressed the call button.

However, after waiting in the consultation room for a while, nobody came in.

Could the person have gone to the restroom, or perhaps did not hear the call?

The display showed that the person was a 60-year-old gentleman.

He might have hearing problems as well.

"Would patient number 2, Zhao Yanshu, please proceed to consultation room 8 for your appointment."

Huang Xiangning continued pressing the button.

"Doctor, hold on, my dad is a bit reluctant to come over, I’ll bring him here shortly."

The speaker was a young woman in her twenties or thirties, dressed relatively plainly.

After speaking at the consultation room door, she yelled toward a distant figure.

"Dad! Why are you hiding? Hurry up and come here, these two doctors are waiting for you!"

She ran over and shouted at an elegant-looking elderly man wearing a grey shirt and having greying hair.

"Oh dear... I told you I didn’t want to have a check-up. Why did you insist on bringing me to the hospital? You might as well let me buy two pounds of meat with the money."

Zhao Yanshu was full of reluctance.

"As if you didn’t have meat to eat. If you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you. Besides, now we’ve already registered, and if you just leave, the thirty yuan won’t be refunded!"

This was Zhao Xiaoyan, Zhao Yanshu’s daughter.

At this moment, she seriously spoke to her father.

"Ah! Thirty yuan! Isn’t the registration fee just five yuan? How did it become thirty yuan!!"

Upon hearing his daughter mention thirty yuan, Zhao Yanshu was utterly shocked.

Since, to him, this price was really too high.

"Aren’t you often sick? So this time I specially got you an express appointment with a specialist. The doctor is the deputy dean of the hospital and very competent, also a special allowance expert from the State Council. It’s no good always visiting those small clinics; you should come to the big hospital for a thorough check-up."

Zhao Xiaoyan was truly speechless about her father.

He was often sick, yet he never came to the hospital.

Usually, he would just go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine or visit a small clinic.

At this rate, small illnesses could turn into big ones.

"Sigh... You’re just wasting money since you’ve earned some! Seeing a doctor already costs thirty. Wouldn’t a full course of treatment cost three to five hundred or even a thousand!"

Upon hearing his daughter’s explanation, Zhao Yanshu was visibly agitated.

"Well, regardless of how much a full course would cost, the thirty yuan now would definitely be wasted if we don’t proceed with the appointment."

Zhao Xiaoyan shrugged.

"Alright, alright! Then I’ll see exactly what kind of doctor costs thirty!"

Faced with his daughter’s words, Zhao Yanshu couldn’t reject anymore.

After all, no one’s money comes easily.

Having paid and not getting checked would be pure loss.

"Okay, let’s go then."

Seeing her father compromise, Zhao Xiaoyan smiled.

Ha! After all these years, she can still handle her old man.

"Are you here now? Is it this gentleman who needs to be seen? What’s the specific issue?"

Huang Xiangning inquired.

"Doctor, here’s the situation. My dad has been having a cold, coughing and a bit of fever for over a month, especially the cough, which has persisted for quite some time. We wanted to come in for a check-up to see what’s going on."

Zhao Xiaoyan explained to Huang Xiangning.

"Oh, I see. Sir, please open your mouth and let us have a look."

Huang Xiangning nodded.

She then used a cotton swab and flashlight to examine.

"Gulp."

After the check-up, Zhao Yanshu swallowed his saliva, since his throat was a little dry.

"How is it, doctor? Is my dad’s condition serious?"

Expectantly, Zhao Xiaoyan looked at Huang Xiangning.

She got the specialist appointment just to diagnose her dad’s health thoroughly this time.

After all, such a renowned specialist should be more experienced than ordinary doctors.

"For now, the inflammation in the throat is indeed quite severe. I’ll prescribe several tests for us to conduct."

For patients with this kind of cold and cough.

Usually, there’s no need for Dr. Xiaochuan.

Frankly, nothing much can be seen.

"What tests? Doctor, just prescribe some cold and cough medicine!"

Assertively, Zhao Yanshu responded.

"Mr. Zhao, it’s crucial to conduct tests before prescribing medication."

Prescribing only cold and cough medicine is suitable when there isn’t another underlying issue.

If there’s another underlying issue, those medicines wouldn’t have much effect.

"Yes, dad, since we’re here at the hospital, let’s follow the expert’s advice."

Zhao Xiaoyan nodded in agreement.

"What tests? You do them if you want!"

Zhao Yanshu scoffed and left!

"Hey! Dad! Where are you going! Doctor, sorry, I’ll go after my dad!"

Upon hearing his father’s words, he got up and left abruptly.

After apologizing, Zhao Xiaoyan quickly ran after him.

"Alright, I’ll wait for your response here."

Huang Xiangning understood.

After working in the emergency room for so many years, there were indeed many patients like this.

Especially among the older generation.

Many of them believe they can just endure and it’ll pass.

Indeed, many illnesses are like that.

Enduring and they might pass.

But some illnesses, initially minor, due to long delays can become major ones.

"Sigh..."

Zhang Lingchuan watched Mr. Zhao leave confidently, followed by his daughter rushing after him and shook his head.

Unfortunately.

This Mr. Zhao had a red label above his head.

Fortunately, with active treatment, death was not imminent.

"What’s the matter, Dr. Xiaochuan? Are you having any thoughts?"

Holding a smile, Huang Xiangning looked towards Zhang Lingchuan.

Perhaps Dr. Xiaochuan saw from this gentleman the image of older generations who dearly love their children and prefer to endure themselves rather than waste their children’s money.

"No."

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head.

Originally, he had a lot to say.

He even thought of Old Zhang.

The person was the same.

Always bearing everything alone, unwilling to spend money on minor ailments.

But once the scan results came out, he shut his mouth.

"Oh?"

Huang Xiangning was slightly surprised.

So is he that rebellious?

She assumed he might say something emotional.

Outside.

"Dad! Why are you running around like a child! You’re so grown up, can’t you listen a bit? We came here to get a check-up!"

Seeing her old man running out without warning was extremely embarrassing for Zhao Xiaoyan.

Immediately, she started to persuade him.

"It’s not about disobedience, it’s about not wasting money on unnecessary tests. Darling, being a teacher isn’t easy for you. This series of tests could cost a few hundred or even thousand yuan; isn’t that wasteful?"

As Zhao Yanshu spoke.

His daughter’s salary wasn’t very high either.

She was teaching at school, earning four to five thousand yuan.

If a single check-up took away a third or half of her pay, he found it unnecessary.

"You’re my dad! How can that be considered wasteful!"

Said Zhao Xiaoyan irritably.

The words sounded so harsh.

"Dear! Honestly, I’m getting older, and inherently poorer health with various ailments is normal. And now that autumn’s here, it’s quite common for elderly people to have colds and coughs, there’s no need for unnecessary tests. Darling, please don’t fuss over this, let’s go home. Let’s just consider this thirty yuan spent visiting a specialist, and taking a step back, if something significant is discovered through tests, both of our moods would be spoiled, so why bother? No check-up means no illness."

At this moment, Zhao Yanshu spoke sincerely.

He had seen too many cases of endless tests only to end up revealing a problem. If it’s cancer, typically, not long after diagnosis, death follows.

So rather than test, just don’t do it.

What if something serious turns up?

The whole family’s down.

It’s better for people to be a little ignorant, just assume there’s no illness!

"What kind of twisted logic! Who suffers from colds and coughs for one whole month without recovery! Dad, since we’re here! Now I’m willing to spend this money, if the results show that I’m overthinking, next time, you do as you please, okay? Just this once, I promise!"

Zhao Xiaoyan swore to her father!

"Sigh... Fine, fine."

Unable to withstand his daughter’s persuasion, Zhao Yanshu grudgingly returned to the consultation room.

"Doctor, my dad is willing to undergo the tests now. His cold and cough shouldn’t be serious, right?"

Zhao Xiaoyan inquired.

"If it’s solely a cold and cough, then it’s obviously not severe."

At this point, she noticed the handsome young doctor beside them had begun speaking.

But what did he mean???...
