Chapter 1413: 【1413】Want to grab a lifeline
Xie Wanying: ...
"Told you not to say random things, would you rather not speak at all?" Huang Zhilei was impressed by her lightning-fast reflex arc, squinting behind his glasses.
It’s not that she didn’t want to speak, but she didn’t know where to start, so Xie Wanying glanced at Student Pan at the door.
Just then, Chen Chengran’s mother noticed that her son’s fellow doctor had returned and immediately went over to Pan Shihua, saying, "You said you had a way to save him, hurry up and save him, he’s your classmate. You can’t go back on your word."
Everyone in the room was listening to the words of the patient’s family member.
Li Guoxin glanced at Doctor Jiang, raising the question: Did you let your student say such things to the family?
Doctors need to be cautious with every word spoken to the patient’s family. Otherwise, if the family catches a loophole and something goes wrong with the patient’s condition, they will latch onto it. Due to this, many doctors who have been bitten by such situations are afraid to offer comforting words to families.
In medicine, it’s often said that doctors might not be able to cure illnesses but should offer solace to patients, resulting in their good intentions being disregarded. Over time, this has led to a pervasive cold atmosphere in clinics.
Once bitten by a snake, one fears ropes for ten years; doctors are ordinary people, they have the same psychological reactions.
This leads to a vicious cycle. Doctors hesitate to comfort, and patients and families accuse them of being heartless.
Look at how it’s the same now. A medical student says a couple of comforting words to patients and families, yet the family brings it up to start making accusations.
Doctor Jiang, as the mentor, has a complex feeling. To be fair, Pan Shihua was just conveying the hope from today’s emergency doctors’ discussion to the patient, wanting to encourage the depressed Chen Chengran to muster strength for active treatment.
"Alright, don’t trouble them." Chen Chengran’s father tugged his wife, knowing from the doctors’ expressions that this thing was impossible.
"How can his words not count?" Chen Chengran’s mother stomped her feet, hysterically shouting.
Her son was about to die, she just wanted to clutch the last straw.
Pity the child’s mother watching her child about to die, filled with sorrow and despair.
It was incredibly quiet inside and outside. Chen Chengran’s father held his head in his hands, unable to say anything more to his wife at this moment.
The doctors were even more silent: they all knew the patient’s family had lost rationality.
Suddenly, someone stepped out from the crowd and said to Chen Chengran’s parents: "I’m the one who said those words, I’ll help him drain the pus."
Realizing it was Xie Wanying speaking, Doctor Jiang was so frightened he quickly reached out to pull her back and apologize to the patient’s family, feeling desperate enough to jump out of a window. At this moment, he finally understood why the General Surgery Department Two said that even Tan Kelin, known for his bad temper, could be brought down to no temper by this student.
A round of gasps from the surprised crowd around indicated how terrible the consequences of her words would be: the patient’s family was close to insanity, alright. Saying this, if the patient isn’t saved, will the family strangle you?
Huang Zhilei, unaware of the previous situation, was suddenly a bit bewildered: When did little junior sister have contact with this patient? Isn’t this a patient from General Surgery Department One?
Doctor Jiang didn’t manage to pull Xie Wanying back in time. Upon hearing her words, Chen Chengran’s mother immediately pushed through the crowd to her, staring wide-eyed, saying: "Are you speaking the truth?"
