Chapter 1505 - 607: Strange Neck Stiffness, The Simplest Reflex Test Begins
The diseases that local hospitals can’t cure are mostly quite tricky.He also isn’t able to cure every ailment.
Sometimes, he is equally helpless with some strange diseases. But generally speaking, as long as a patient comes to him, even if he doesn’t have the ability to cure them, he will seek help from other doctors.
The comprehensive strength of Tuya Hospital is still very strong. Except for a few medical fields that are not very advanced, most of the other medical fields are of high standard.
"Alright, I’ll go and take a look first."
Zhou Can is very understanding of the difficulties of patients and their families, traveling long distances specifically to seek his medical care, carrying tremendous hope.
The journey is also particularly arduous.
Transporting a patient is much more difficult than for a regular person.
"Ding Dong, this patient’s mediastinum is left to you. Yang Zhi, help him on the side."
After speaking, Zhou Can went straight out of the operating room.
Under normal circumstances, a doctor in the operating room is not willing to easily leave the operating room. Because the use of various sterile consumables increases.
Not to mention others, but just changing several sets of the washed surgical clothes more often, the cleaning auntie would start complaining.
Head covers and gloves are basically disposable, using more of them can also easily invite some unnecessary checks and trouble.
Zhou Can followed the nurse to the emergency room.
Outside the door, on a flat mobile bed, lay a two or three-year-old boy, his eyes open, but his limbs weakly lying flat. With Zhou Can’s professional level and experience, he could tell at a glance that this little boy was already in a state of high paraplegia.
"This is Dr. Zhou Can whom you are looking for. After hearing about your situation, he stopped his work in the operating room to come and consult. If you have any questions, please quickly ask Dr. Zhou."
The nurse said to the family.
A total of five family members came.
Honestly, having so many family members come would make any doctor extremely cautious.
Having too many family members often means that in case of a dispute, the other side is more numerous and strong, leaving the doctor relatively vulnerable.
Moreover, with more people around, the probability of medical disputes also increases.
"Dr. Zhou, we came specially from the capital after hearing from acquaintances. Please also take a look to see if this child can be cured?"
The first to speak was a pot-bellied middle-aged man, wearing black trousers, a purple shirt, a golden tie, and shoes covered in dust he did not even have time to wipe off.
Compared to the other family members, this middle-aged man and a fashionably dressed young woman behind him did not possess the grief that typically accompanies a near-relative’s serious injury, but rather only anxiety.
Based on Zhou Can’s reception experience, he speculated that these two were probably not family members.
"Please first introduce the child’s situation—how he was injured, what symptoms appeared after the injury, and whether examinations have been done?"
Zhou Can looked toward the five family members.
"Dr. Zhou, I beg you, please save my son! Boohoo... It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have taken my child to play at their amusement park." A young woman, crying, recounted the unfortunate incident and glared at the pot-bellied man and the fashionable woman. "There were many children playing inside their balloon castle, and when my son climbed to the top of the castle, some kids blocked his way. He then climbed onto the railing and unfortunately fell from there. It seemed like he landed head first, and after bouncing on the ground a few times, he just stopped moving."
"After the fall, my son didn’t cry or fuss, just lay there motionless..."
The little boy’s mother recounted the situation with immense regret and heartache.
"Our inflatable castle adheres to strict safety standards, with cushioning over fifty centimeters thick on the ground. The height from which the child fell was about three meters, and normally there shouldn’t have been any problems. Who knew that he would become paralyzed from this fall!"
The pot-bellied man was likely the owner of the inflatable castle.
When he talked about the incident, he seemed very aggrieved.
When someone has bad luck, even drinking cold water can cause their teeth to crack.
"Young man, our family has had only one grandson for three generations. His father is defending the border on the front lines, and we haven’t dared to tell him this news yet. Please think of a way to save my grandson."
An elderly man with white eyebrows came over and pleaded with Zhou Can.
"My son is a high-ranking official, if you can cure my grandson, you’ll certainly be rewarded!"
The old lady’s tone was quite braggadocious.
Honestly, no doctor enjoys enduring such a tone from family members.
Some families, relying on having a bit of money or power, start off by throwing money at doctors. "Just cure him, no matter how much it costs, we can afford it."
Or it’s "Hurry up and treat him, so-and-so in our family is an official."
When encountering such family members, doctors won’t argue back to their face, but will certainly feel uncomfortable inside.
The doctor is a sacred profession dedicated to saving lives and should be respected.
It shouldn’t be trampled underfoot by the powerful means of money or authority.
The reality is, no matter how skillful the medical expertise, doctors still serve as mere pawns for those with power and money.
"Hey, watch your words. The young man is a doctor, saving people without discrimination."
The old man rebuked the old lady flaunting her authority.
"The old gentleman is right. The principle we doctors adhere to is: if someone comes to us in a medical emergency for help, we won’t ask about their status, wealth, age, appearance, gratitude, friendship, nationality, foolishness, or wisdom; treating everyone equally, as if they were close kin. No matter their identity, once they are in the hospital, they are all called ’patients.’"
