Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 369 - 337: The Mast and Oars Reduced to Ashes?

Hearing the stifled and wretched screams, Zhao Heng finally understood why the ergency room decided to transfer this patient here.

Following the direction of the screams, Zhao Heng took a few steps and saw a young man who appeared to be in his twenties, lying on the gurney, clenching his hands tightly, trembling all over, and looking as if he were enduring so intense pain.

"What did the ergency departnt say?"

Zhao Heng asked Li Yang, who was standing by the gurney. It seed that the ergency doctor who brought the patient had already left after handing over to Li Yang.

"The ergency departnt couldn’t diagnose it. They said this patient was transferred from a lower-level hospital and had already seen many hospitals without being diagnosed."

Li Yang said. Currently, the patients in the ward mainly ca from the ergency departnt. For Li Yang, who had spent such a long ti in ergency, taking over patients that the ergency departnt couldn’t handle gave him a very different feeling.

Especially the inpatient doctors who transferred the patients over from ergency, the look in their eyes towards Li Yang was full of envy.

Now, Zhao Heng’s ward was considered the best in treatnt and prospects in Eastern Hospital.

Take Ma Xiaochen’s hospitalization, for instance, although none of the ward’s doctors or nurses ever took money from Liu Qing, and of course, Liu Qing wouldn’t give money.

But lunch, midnight snacks, and various exquisite small gifts were certainly everyday occurrences. To Liu Qing, these gifts were nothing, hardly even a drop in the bucket.

However, for the doctors and nurses in the ward, these were very nice gifts.

After all, what Liu Qing could provide, even if just small gifts, were surely top-notch in their category.

Take, for instance, the chocolates for the nurses. Zhao Heng initially thought they weren’t worth much, but Tian Zhen told him that each small box of chocolate was imported from Valrhona in France, and a 500g box cost over two thousand.

Although the official nurses at Eastern Hospital earned more than ten thousand a month, chocolate that cost two thousand yuan a box still felt a bit extravagant.

Of course, Liu Qing could give sothing more expensive, but considering that a 500g box costs over two thousand, per pound it was already more than four thousand, which was very pricey for edibles.

Anything more expensive would purely rely on packaging and hype and wouldn’t actually be ant for consumption.

From this, you could tell that wealthy people have their own standards.

"No diagnosis, not even a suspected cause?"

Zhao Heng frowned and said.

So diseases are very rare, and naturally hard to diagnose if unseen and untreated, but if there isn’t even a suspected direction, then diagnosing the illness becos extrely challenging.

In clinical settings, two situations are particularly tricky: one is terminal illness, like cancer and genetic diseases, as there’s no cure or specific dication, you can only treat the symptoms, and frankly, patients are just waiting to die.

The other is when all possible tests have been done, yet the cause cannot be determined. This situation is more despairing, as the disease itself remains unclear; how can it be treated?

"They only ntioned it might be a neurosis."

Li Yang said.

If it hadn’t been impossible to diagnose, it wouldn’t have been transferred here. This happens frequently.

Therefore, while the treatnt and prospects in this ward are good, dealing daily with patients whom other hospitals are helpless with, and even can’t diagnose, is very stressful. Without skills, high standards, and rich experience, a doctor couldn’t last a day in this ward.

"Can neurosis cause this kind of pain?..."

Zhao Heng said.

"Let’s first inquire about the illness."

After a pause, Zhao Heng added.

"Okay."

Li Yang nodded.

"Where does it hurt?"

Zhao Heng asked the young man lying on the hospital bed who seed now to be looking vacant, as if devoid of all hope.

Logically, this person seed to be not even twenty-five years old, and such a look of hopeless despair, as if suffering from a terminal illness, shouldn’t appear on him.

This highlight how much tornt this person has suffered from an illness that no hospital could diagnose.

"Doctor... it’s that kind of feeling... it’s always there..."

The young man stamred, speaking of this feeling, despite his face full of pain, he even showed a slight embarrassnt and sense of sha.

"That kind of feeling? Which kind?"

Zhao Heng asked.

This young man’s deanor is rare, especially where does the sha co from?

"Just say it, this is a hospital, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about."

After a pause, Zhao Heng advised the young man again.

It seed this young man really had sothing unspeakable.

Maybe in other hospitals before, an undiagnosed condition was due to issues with symptom description?

In clinical practice, sotis describing symptoms itself can also be a very challenging task.

Because human descriptive vocabulary about sensations is either too limited or too rich, making it hard to comprehend what is being said.

Once, for example, Zhao Heng got a middle school student with a fever, and during questioning, the student told Zhao Heng he felt like he was hovering between ice and fire, experiencing a sensation of seawater and flas intertwining.

Upon hearing that, Zhao Heng was completely baffled.

In the end, after much inquiry, Zhao Heng learned that the student ant he felt hot and cold intermittently.

Another ti, Zhao Heng encountered a worker with back pain, unclear where he ca from. When Zhao Heng asked where it hurt, he said it felt like a big hamr continuously pounding his back, as if it were about to break.
