CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 313: WHAT KIND OF MOTHER IS THAT?

Yue Wenwen turned her head to look at him, "No, it’s just because you’re on night shift tonight too, that’s why I’m like this!"

Yang Wangcheng frowned, "What do you mean by that? Do you think I’ll cause trouble for you?"

Yue Wenwen shook her head, although he just started his internship, his adaptability wasn’t bad, and he really wasn’t dragging them down.

"You’ll see after tonight!" Yue Wenwen said calmly.

Xiao Li walked over and lightly patted her on the shoulder, "You’re scaring people again!"

Yue Wenwen said innocently, "I’m not scaring anyone, I’m just telling him some industry rules."

"Alright, let’s start the rounds. Once we’re done, if there’s time to rest, take it. Don’t wait until you’re too exhausted to function."

With that, Xiao Li led the way for the rounds, and Yue Wenwen and Yang Wangcheng quickly followed. Yue Wenwen said behind Xiao Li, "Sister, are you on outpatient duty the day after tomorrow?"

Xiao Li nodded, "Yes."

Yue Wenwen sighed, "I wish I could do outpatient duties too."

B City Hospital has a rule that only attending physicians and above can handle outpatient duties, so residents cannot take them.

That’s why Yue Wenwen still couldn’t handle outpatient duties on her own. In the past, during her internship, she could only follow her teacher to these duties.

Xiao Li smiled, "Soon enough, once you get promoted to attending, you’ll have the chance."

Yue Wenwen sighed softly, "I still have to wait two more years!"

She was a graduate student and could apply for a title review after two years of clinical work.

"Two years will pass quickly!"

"Yes."

They did the rounds, and when there was nothing else to do, Xiao Li and Yue Wenwen leaned back in their chairs to rest with their eyes closed.

Yang Wangcheng was a bit surprised to see them like that. Were they tired so early?

After following Xiao Li for a few days and being rebuffed several times, Yang Wangcheng no longer spoke up immediately, especially during night shifts where he had no experience and should say less to avoid mistakes.

To avoid saying more and making more mistakes!

Returning to his seat, Yang Wangcheng also leaned back to rest, although he wasn’t tired.

When the call bell rang, Xiao Li was the first to open her eyes. Seeing Yang Wangcheng just waking up, she raised an eyebrow slightly, he’s pretty smart!

From the moment the call bell rang, the three of them were completely busy, with patients in the ward having issues one after another.

Later, several patients came in from the emergency department, one of whom was a ten-year-old boy with a high fever of forty degrees, having seizures before being brought to the hospital.

After several checks, it was found that the child might have pneumonia and was admitted to the respiratory department.

In the respiratory department, Xiao Li was examining the child and giving medical orders for blood tests and X-rays.

During this process, Xiao Li also asked the patient’s family about the child’s condition. She learned that the child had cold symptoms a few days ago and a mild fever, but the mother didn’t take him to the hospital fearing it would affect his studies, and just gave him some medicine from a small clinic.

This afternoon, after school, the child said he was unwell, but his mother thought he was pretending to avoid homework.

She forced him to eat, then take cold medicine and do homework. The child, being sick and unwell, couldn’t finish his homework even by 11 PM. His mother wouldn’t let him rest, and eventually, the child fainted, which startled his mother.

Xiao Li, after understanding the situation, was a bit angry enough to want to scold someone!

What kind of mother is this?

Does the child’s education mean more than their health?

Just then, the test results were available. Xiao Li looked them over and confirmed that the child had developed pneumonia.

What could have been just a minor cold had been dragged into pneumonia by the mother.

Xiao Li wrote medical orders and told the family the precautions.

But all the mother heard was that the child had pneumonia and needed a few days of hospital treatment.

All she could think about was how hospitalization would disrupt his studies.

"Doctor, can I ask, is it possible not to be hospitalized?

It’s just the start of the school year, my child just moved up to the fourth grade, if he takes a few days off, he’ll fall behind in his studies."

Xiao Li directly closed the medical record in her hand, "Whether or not to be hospitalized is naturally the patient’s right, as doctors, we can only advise you.

But, do you think, in your son’s current condition, even if you send him to school, can he study properly?

Not to mention, if he faints again at school, what will the consequences be? I believe with your son’s current situation, even the school’s teachers wouldn’t advise you to bring him to school.

You’ve already dragged your son’s illness into pneumonia, what else do you want to drag it into?"

"What do you mean by saying that? What do you mean I dragged my son into this?

Don’t think I don’t know! You doctors just like to scare patients into hospital stays to make money for your hospital. Let me tell you, I’ve had higher education and I’m not easily fooled!

We’re not getting treatment here; we’re leaving the hospital!"

The woman said this and was about to pick up her child and go, but the child was still on an IV. The nurse, afraid she would hurt the child, blocked her way.

Seeing the nurse blocking her, the woman reached out to push her. Yang Wangcheng, who was standing by the nurse, quickly supported her and said to the woman, "Are you crazy? We’re saving your son’s life, if you want to act crazy, do it elsewhere!"

"Yang Wangcheng, shut up!" Xiao Li reprimanded him.

After scolding Yang Wangcheng, Xiao Li told the nurse, "Nurse Liu, remove the needle and let them leave.

Yang Wangcheng looked at Xiao Li incredulously, "No, how can you agree to their discharge, in this child’s condition, letting them leave can cause problems!"

Xiao Li responded, "The patient’s family insists on discharge, we don’t have the authority to stop them! The child’s mother doesn’t care about her child’s life, what can we possibly do?

Nurse Liu, remove the needle!"

"Yes."

Xiao Li’s straightforward and blunt attitude made the child’s mother hesitate, and as Nurse Liu was about to remove the needle, she changed her mind, "Wait... we’re not leaving."

After they left the ward, Yue Wenwen walked behind Xiao Li, speaking softly, "Sister, you really have a way, if it were me, I wouldn’t know how to communicate with people like that.

You see, she has the nerve to say she’s highly educated, but I really don’t see any sign of intellectualism in her."

Xiao Li smiled, "In clinical practice, you’ll encounter all sorts of patients and families. After encountering enough, you’ll know how to handle them.

Also, as doctors, we should focus on treatment and saving lives, not gossip about patients and their families in private!"

Yue Wenwen nodded, "I got it, sister."

Yang Wangcheng suddenly spoke up, "You did that on purpose, didn’t you! Pretending to let them leave, right?"
