Chapter 100: Is It That Difficult To Do Another Check-Up!

“In such a situation, we can treat it with a conservative method. There’s no need to operate on it.”
“Also, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t think that you’re amazing just because you’ve learned some medical knowledge.”
“Have you ever been in the clinic? Have you ever seen a real patient?”
“You’re too self-righteous to make a judgment before you’ve seen anything. Kid, you can’t be like this.”
The attending doctor’s attitude of “I’m only giving you advice for your own good” made Lin Bai want to vomit.
Lin Bai really wanted to beat this guy up.
But when he thought of Sun Xiaogang’s father’s life hanging by a thread, he could only hold it in.
He took out his phone and turned it to video mode, aiming the camera at the attending doctor in front of him.
“What did you say just now? Do you dare to repeat it to the camera again?” Lin Bai questioned loudly.
The attending doctor immediately shut up and did not say a word.
Lin Bai asked again, “Then let’s not dwell on that. I’ll ask you now, can you give the injured Sun Jiandong another craniocerebral examination?”
Although Lin Bai was furious, he did not lose his mind.
He knew that the most important thing now was to get Sun Jiandong to get a brain surgery as soon as possible to stop the bleeding.
As for the rest, he could put them aside. It would not be too late to settle the scores after he had settled the matter in front of him.
The attending physician remained silent.
Lin Bai snapped, “Answer me! Can you do a checkup on him or not?!”
The attending doctor knew that if he did not answer, Lin Bai would keep asking questions.
If he were to release the video, he would seem at fault even if he had a reason.
So, he could only say expressionlessly, “All the necessary tests have been done. There’s no need to repeat the tests, adding unnecessary risks to the patient. So you’re not going to do it, right? Alright then.”
Lin Bai did not waste any more time with him. He turned around and left the room to call Sun Xiaogang.
“Wait for me in the director’s office.”
Lin Bai went straight to the point.
Sun Xiaogang could tell that Lin Bai’s tone was not friendly. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Lin Bai said, “I don’t have time to explain now. Hurry over, I’ll be there soon.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and went straight to the director’s office.
Sun Xiaogang didn’t dare to delay. He quickly asked the nurse to take care of his mother and then left the ward.
Soon, the two of them met at the entrance of the director’s office.
Lin Bai didn’t explain. He directly knocked on the door and went in. He said to the director,
“I want to file a complaint against the emergency department doctor, Zhao Guangming. He is seriously irresponsible and has disregarded the life and death of a patient!”
The director was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly put on a smile and said humbly, “Please have a seat. Tell me if you have any questions.”
With his many years of experience in the industry, he knew that the first thing to do in the face of an emotional person was to calm them down.
However, he was wrong. Although Lin Bai was anxious, it was not that he was not calm.
Lin Bai spoke quickly and stated his demands and reasons in a reasonable manner.
“The patient in the intensive care unit, Sun Jiandong, was admitted to the hospital after a car accident. He was diagnosed to have intracranial bleeding symptoms.”
“But Doctor Zhao Guangming thought that his bleeding was not serious, so he insisted on conservative treatment.”
“But when I went to visit him just now, I found that the injured Sun Jiandong already had obvious breathing difficulties, which meant that his intracranial bleeding was getting worse.”
“Moreover, the location of his bleeding is near the subarachnoid space. I don’t need to tell you how dangerous it is to bleed at this location, right?”
“This is a matter of life and death. Regardless of whether you believe my judgment or not, a CT scan or a cerebrospinal fluid test is necessary, right?”
Sun Xiaogang was stunned as he listened. He could not understand how Lin Bai, who was the same as him and had studied a major that was unrelated to medicine, could come up with so many professional terms.
He didn’t know where the “Subarachnoid cavity” was, but when Lin Bai said it was dangerous, his heart was in his throat.
“Lin Bai, is my father in danger now? Will he…”
Sun Xiaogang’s eyes were red. He was really afraid of losing his father, and he didn’t dare to imagine how he and his mother would live after losing their father.
Lin Bai patted him and said in a low voice, “Don’t talk yet. Leave it to me.”
Sun Xiaogang nodded and placed all his hopes on Lin Bai.
The director still had the same easygoing expression as before. He said gently,
“Dr. Zhao Guangming has rich clinical experience and has always been very serious and responsible.”
“I believe that since he made such a decision, he must have considered all aspects of the patient’s situation and thought that conservative treatment was the best for the patient. That’s why he did this.”
“I can understand your feelings as the patient’s family member, but please believe in the doctor’s professional judgment.”
Lin Bai couldn’t listen any longer and directly interrupted, “Is it that difficult to do another examination? Even if Doctor Zhao Guangming is experienced, isn’t there the possibility of misjudgment?”
“Moreover, even if the bleeding was indeed not excessive during the examination and was suitable for conservative treatment, couldn’t there be any more changes?”
“I’m not asking you to open his skull to stop the bleeding right now. I’m just asking you to do another examination.”
“If the examination shows that it’s indeed suitable for conservative treatment, then we’ll do it the same way. If we find that the bleeding is getting larger, we’ll just hurry up and do the surgery. Isn’t that enough?”
“I really don’t understand what you’re trying to avoid!”
It was only a matter of one sentence, to begin with, but it had to be tormented to such an extent. Lin Bai really could not help but be angry.
However, the director did not answer the question directly. Instead, he pressed Lin Bai, “How did you determine that the patient’s bleeding was near the subarachnoid cavity?”
“According to our hospital’s rules, if the patient’s bleeding was found at this location, the surgery would definitely be carried out immediately.”
“Since Doctor Zhao Guangming decided to use conservative treatment, it means that the previous examination showed that the bleeding was not located in the subarachnoid space.”
“Then how did you discover that there was a new bleeding spot in the patient’s brain?”
Lin Bai was left speechless by the question.
Because he couldn’t say that he had seen it through his X-ray vision.
If he said such words, he would only be treated as a lunatic.
Lin Bai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
“That’s not the main point. Subarachnoid cavity bleeding is very dangerous and could cause irreparable damage at any time. Can we do the examination first and then slowly struggle with other questions?”
The director said, “Don’t worry. I’ll ask Doctor Zhao Guangming first to understand the situation.”
As he said that, he dialed Zhao Guangming’s number and asked him to come over as soon as possible.
At this moment, a new push notification suddenly popped up on Lin Bai’s phone screen.
Lin Bai originally didn’t have the mood to look at the push message, but when he saw that it was a push from the Future News app, he quickly clicked on it to check.
The Future News app would never send him a meaningless pop-up window.. It would be very useful if it popped up at this time.
