Three people hurried back to the gastroenterology department.
In the corridor, the group of patientsâ family members surrounding the nursesâ station hadnât left. A young male doctor in the ward, who seemed to be on duty, saw Fang Xueqing come in and rushed over to her saying: "Professor Fang, Director Zhang is on a business trip, could you please help talk to the patientsâ family members?"
"Dr. Ma, whatâs the matter?" Fang Xueqing asked about the situation.
"The condition of patient in bed eight seemed to have fluctuated last night, the patient became irritable, and the family members are anxious," Dr. Ma whispered the report, "Itâs Director Zhangâs patient. It seems that Director Zhang is out of town where the signal is bad, and we canât get in touch with him directly."
"What do the family members want now?" Fang Xueqingâs voice lowered as well.
"They said, said that Director Zhang had arranged a surgical transfer for them, but why wasnât it successful yesterday, they keep asking this question."
"We must wait for an available bed in surgery. How can the patient be transferred if surgery has no available beds?" Fang Xueqing said.
"Yes, Iâve explained this to them many times. They wonât accept it, saying if bed eight canât be transferred, does it mean the doctors want patient in bed eight to die?"
"Let me see the medical records." Fang Xueqing asked.
Xie Wanying and Song Xueling were originally standing outside the doctorâs office. Suddenly, Fang Xueqing waved them inside.
Dr. Ma came over with the medical record of bed eight.
Fang Xueqing said to Dr. Ma, "You know Doctor Song, let him take a look? Heâs from surgery."
It was evident that no matter how much Fang Xueqing complained that this rebel from her school had fled to Guoxie, it was out of sincere fondness and appreciation. Every teacher in Beidu knew Song Xuelingâs capabilities.
Itâs critical now to persuade the surgical department to urgently transfer this patient for surgery, and at this stage, finding the most compelling evidence is necessary. Surgery had already done a consultation yesterday and mentioned that immediate surgery wasnât indicated, only elective surgery was possible; thus they informed the patientâs family to patiently wait for a bed to become available.
Getting a surgical doctorâs opinion is a good idea. Song Xueling is well-known in Beidu, Dr. Ma nodded vigorously: "Let Doctor Song take a look, it can be done."
Song Xueling came forward and spoke to Fang Xueqing, "Can Dr. Xie take a look together with me?"
"Her surname is Xie?" Fang Xueqing looked back at Xie Wanying, sizing her up seriously for the first time, asking, "Is she an internal medicine doctor from Guoxie?"
"No, sheâs a surgical intern," Song Xueling said.
Female surgical students arenât rare, there are quite a lot of them. But very few can actually become top female surgeons, Fang Xueqing knew well. Itâs uncertain whether this person could stay and work in surgery at Guoxie or at the Capitalâs Top Three Hospitals after graduation.
Whatâs strange is why Song Xueling would invite her to look together, Fang Xueqing furrowed her brows and asked softly, "What is your relationship with her?"
Xie Wanying, standing by, overheard this question and helped clarify for Doctor Song: "I am interning in hepatobiliary surgery at our hospital. Doctor Song is doing his residency training there."
Isnât that obvious? Does she not know what Song Xueling is capable of? Fang Xueqing wanted to say this to her. How could the talents from Beidu randomly bring along a female surgical intern for tasks?
A good teacher has the right to pick good students. Fang Xueqing didnât want to see Guoxieâs people undervaluing their talents from Beidu, allowing Song Xueling to simply bring any student along.
Regarding this, Song Xueling said, "Teacher Fang, as I said, let her take a look."
