Chapter 341 -166: Made a Great Contribution, Doctor Hu Regretted Deeply
“I’ll wait here for you!”
Zhou Can’s purpose in studying medicine was different from many others.
Numerous doctors pursue a medical career for good income and high social status. He, however, did it purely out of interest and to save lives.
Each time he successfully cured a patient, relieving them from their suffering or even saving a life, he felt a profound sense of achievement.
This time, to save the patient in bed 7, he had done many things beyond his regular duties.
He sat silently in the duty room waiting for Dr. Shi to come out.
During this period, he repeatedly contemplated the patient’s diagnosis, pathology, examination methods, and medication in his mind so that when he finally spoke with Dr. Shi, he could more convincingly present his case.
Meanwhile, doctors and nurses came and went from the duty room.
Many were curious why Zhou Can was sitting there.
After chatting with each other, they learned that Zhou Can was striving to save the patient in bed 7. Some thought his actions were somewhat naive, but many medical staff admired his courage and spirit in saving lives.
Everyone tried their best not to disturb Zhou Can.
A young female nurse even sneaked glances at him, her eyes filled with curiosity and friendliness.
…
After more than an hour, Dr. Shi finally came out of the ward.
He looked visibly exhausted.
Caring for and rescuing critically ill patients can be particularly tormenting.
It was mentally and physically draining, keeping the nerves tight and the mind constantly under pressure.
“I will start writing medical orders and then talk to you. The situation with the patient in bed 6 is very bad.”
Dr. Shi explained briefly before sitting down at a computer to write medical orders.
The previous patient in bed 6 had just passed away, and the new patient’s condition was also very bleak; who would say that the number 6 was always lucky? In the ICU, bed 6 was almost turning into a deathbed.
Car accidents, intracranial bleeding, deep coma—many patients do not survive these.
Even if they do, they might end up in a vegetative state.
After Dr. Shi finished writing the medical orders, Zhou Can quickly presented his well-thought diagnostic approach.
He had barely started speaking when Dr. Shi interrupted him.
“My time is very tight; I cannot listen to every detail of your diagnosis. Just directly tell your main idea and outcomes.”
Thus, Zhou Can’s prepared speech of over an hour was condensed into a simplified version.
After he rapidly finished, Dr. Shi pondered for a few minutes; his expression gradually turned bright and resolute.
This was a good sign—it meant he had accepted Zhou Can’s diagnostic approach and conclusions. freёwebnoѵel.com
“I have already told Xiao Zhang and the nurse to collect stool samples from bed 7 for testing, then send them for analysis. If there truly are parasites inside the patient, I believe we will definitely find traces. This time I will request the lab to specifically screen for eggs and possible larval parasites, and also analyze the fecal composition more meticulously, focusing on testing whether the feces contain any hormones or drugs that could cause capillary dilation.”
“Whichever one it might be, it could serve as a basis for medicating the patient. For now, we must patiently wait. You need to come back to work tomorrow, and the workload here is extremely high, sometimes even requiring a few extra hours of work. You should go back and get some rest now. I believe we will have some results for you when you come to work tomorrow.”
Dr. Shi was very straightforward in his speech.
Listening to him was reassuring.
And before he came out of the ward, he had already instructed his resident trainee and the assisting nurse to collect and preserve the stool samples.
This showed that from the very first time Zhou Can discussed the matter with him, he had taken it seriously and thought deeply about it.
Compared to the formality of Doctor Hu, who was reluctant to take risks and bear additional responsibilities, Dr. Shi earned more of Zhou Can’s respect.
It’s worth mentioning that Dr. Shi’s subordinate, the resident trainee Xiao Zhang, was not from Zhou Can’s cohort. He had already obtained his practicing physician license and was nearing the end of his three-year residency.
Moreover, he specialized in the Intensive Care Medicine Department.
Many trainees choose to return to their selected departments to complete the final three to four months of their training.
For example, those who chose neurosurgery as their training direction usually return to work in neurosurgery during their last three months.
This serves to help them adjust to their department in advance.
Once they receive their residency certification, they can immediately start working as a qualified Resident Doctor.
“Okay, I’ll leave this matter in your hands!”
Zhou Can stood up to take his leave.
With this conversation, the hour-plus wait seemed worthwhile.
“Oh, by the way, which type of parasite do you suspect? It would be best to give a medication suggestion.”
Dr. Shi stopped him.
“I personally think it’s more likely to be a parasitic worm. If it really is a worm, I recommend using Mebendazole. Considering the patient’s tolerance and intestinal condition, it would be great if the patient could also consume a small amount of raw tea oil.”
Zhou Can believed it was a parasitic worm and not a protozoan, based on multiple factors.
The most crucial one was that he thought this parasite was very cunning and had a strong territorial sense, only settling in the patient’s small intestine.
And its excretions or secretions seemed to cause capillary dilation, which was not an ability commonly found in protozoan parasites.
As for his medication suggestion,
His pharmacology knowledge wasn’t poor, just because he had not yet received his license to prescribe medicine.
He couldn’t prescribe medications.
Medical orders were written very seldom.
He was primarily an observer.
“Using raw tea oil to protect the intestines, and its certain lethal effects on parasites, weaken their vitality… This medication suggestion is as unique as your diagnostic approach.”
