Chapter 5 The Old Monster!
The next day, at 7:40 a.m.
After arriving at the trauma orthopedics department, Chen Zhuoan took the patient's medical record book for bed 19 and called the patient's family out of the ward alone.
Bed 19 was occupied by a woman in her thirties, whose husband was a tall man.
Compared to Chen Zhuoan, he appeared slightly shorter and rather thin.
"Dr. Chen... what do you want to do?" His voice was somewhat timid for a moment.
He insisted that his wife's knee pain was caused by Chen Zhuoan's puncture.
But now, he was visiting Chen Zhuoan privately, and there were no outsiders around, so he was genuinely a little nervous.
If Chen Zhuoan really gets into a conflict with him, the result will definitely be his death, while Chen Zhuoan will only have to go to jail.
Chen Zhuoan said calmly, "Brother, every passing goose leaves a trace, and every event has its own evidence."
"Whether your wife has been injured before, there must be written records and witnesses."
"This includes, but is not limited to, her leave slips from her workplace and her medical records from hospitals she visited."
"This includes, but is not limited to, the occasional limp she experiences when walking, and sudden knee joint compression and stiffness."
"As a family member, you suspect that my actions caused her knee pain, but this is not a problem in itself."
"But you keep insisting it's my fault and demanding compensation from me, which involves extortion."
The middle-aged man's eyes immediately showed a hint of panic, but he quickly regained his composure: "Are you threatening me?"
Chen Zhuoan really didn't want to get too involved with Bed 19. He needed to deal with this matter as soon as possible and then intervene in the matter that Professor Dong was facing.
However, given his lowly status, if he couldn't even handle the entanglement with Bed 19 properly...
How could he be qualified to know about what happened to the teacher?
Even the chief resident, Professor Qin Huai, had to criticize him and tell him to do his job.
Chen Zhuoan said, "How am I threatening you?"
"I'm only asking you whether you're telling the truth or not. If you're not, I'll go to your wife's workplace today to investigate. It's that simple."
"Don't try to guess how I know this; it's all based on my professional knowledge."
"Furthermore, after the MRI, an arthroscopy will also be performed, at which point it will be clear whether the damage inside is fresh or old."
"If you don't want things to escalate and end up causing your wife to lose her job, you'd better tell the truth sooner rather than later."
"We're all within the system; suspecting someone of wrongdoing and extorting someone are completely different things."
"This is Xiangya Hospital. If it really comes down to pursuing extortion, your wife's workplace will definitely choose to cut the Gordian knot quickly."
The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched rapidly as he stared intently into her eyes: "Dr. Chen, why are you so sure it's not your problem?"
"Is it impossible for you to make any mistakes?"
Chen Zhuoan shook his head: "Everyone makes mistakes, and so do I."
"Your claims and accusations are too outrageous."
"Of course, you're not professionals, that's not your fault."
"But I've explained it so clearly to you that it's impossible to damage the medial meniscus with a lateral knee puncture."
"If you continue to make this fuss, then there's something wrong with your character!"
"I understand why you feel pain in other areas..."
The middle-aged man, seeing Chen Zhuoan's youth, sneered, "So it's pain in other places?"
Chen Zhuoan patted the medical record book: "You think... signing these medical records is a joke?"
"You mean it hurts in another place, so it really hurts in another place?"
"What were you thinking when you were reviewing and signing the medical records?"
"Think about it carefully yourself."
"Right now, I'm just a student, I have free time..."
"Should we keep our jobs, or take a gamble?"
"How much does this surgery cost?"
"What a huge loss it would be to lose the government-allocated positions!"
After Chen Zhuoan finished speaking, he picked up the medical record book and walked into the fire escape, returning to his ward.
The middle-aged man watched Chen Zhuoan's retreating figure with a hidden gaze, instantly feeling immense pressure.
For a moment, he felt as if he were facing not a young doctor, but an old monster.
The other party pressed on relentlessly, giving him no time to think or a chance to refute.
They are truly professional, and the points they raised are exceptionally insightful!
The fact that everyone was working within the system put him in a dilemma.
On the one hand, the family is really short of money right now.
On the other hand, what if his wife really lost her job because of this? That would be adding insult to injury.
The other party was just a student and didn't have much money.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, and a dog will jump over a wall when cornered.
He wasn't sure if Chen Zhuoan would go to his wife's workplace.
……
Chen Zhuoan didn't care at all that the patient in bed 19 had heard what he said and went straight to his workplace to erase all the information.
No matter how powerful she is, she can't erase her medical records and imaging data from the Provincial People's Hospital.
Old meniscus injury plus medical records.
This is the irrefutable proof!
The reason Chen Zhuoan isn't retrieving them now is because he's genuinely too lazy to waste the time.
Time is precious, and it's not worth wasting it on arguing with Bed 19.
In fact, in her previous life, she was reported to her workplace by Professor Dong, Chen Zhuoan's teacher, because of her stubbornness.
Later, although they came to the hospital to plead for her, no one paid any attention to her.
Chen Zhuoan explained these things to them in advance, which was actually helping her.
After doing all this, Chen Zhuoan put the patient's medical record book for bed 19 back on the medical record cart and returned to the doctor's office.
By then, most of the department's superiors had arrived.
However, Professor Dong has not yet arrived at the department, and it is not yet eight o'clock.
Chen Zhuoan then went to the computer and began to organize the preoperative and postoperative examination data of the patients under his care.
The shift handover began as scheduled.
Chen Zhuoan stood like a lackey in the crowd.
Even when his teacher, Professor Dong, came, he didn't give Chen Zhuoan a second glance.
Associate Professor Zeng Tianfang and the others temporarily suppressed the matter of Bed 19 causing trouble for Chen Zhuoan.
After the shift handover, we will begin the normal ward rounds!
Professor Dong's group has beds 17-32, a total of sixteen beds.
Rooms 17-19 are the first stop for ward rounds.
When making rounds, Chief Physician Qin Huai walked a few steps towards bed 19.
"Professor Dong came to see you today. If you have anything you want to say, please feel free to say it."
"Professor Dong personally ordered the knee joint puncture for drug administration!" Qin Huai's voice was very low.
To Qin Huai's surprise, the husband of patient in bed 19 suddenly said, "Dr. Qin, it's nothing, it's nothing. My wife just misremembered."
"She had fallen before..." His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke.
In reality, middle-aged people speaking like this is a helpless act.
Those within the system must keep their sick leave slips and absence records in order to be filed.
His wife couldn't get rid of it either.
Even when applying for a sick leave certificate, a copy of the medical record is required.
If Xiangya Hospital is willing to access these documents, they will generally provide them after explaining the reason.
Qin Huai paused, then looked at the middle-aged man intently for a few moments: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Dr. Qin," the middle-aged man said.
The woman's voice was low, and she kept her head down: "Dr. Qin, I did fall before..."
Qin Huai then took a serious look at Chen Zhuoan, who was standing inconspicuously in the crowd, with a look of surprise and doubt on his face...
How come the attitude of patient 19 changed so much in just one day?
It's definitely not something that bed 19 figured out on their own. If bed 19 could have figured it out, they would have told the truth when Associate Professor Zeng Tianfang came forward.
Chen Zhuoan must have taken care of them himself.
However, it's a small matter.
He had called Chen Zhuoan before, and Chen Zhuoan's professional explanation was reasonable and well-founded...
Professor Dong Anhua is making rounds in bed 18.
With his upright posture and refined demeanor, he said, "Today is teaching rounds..."
"Which interns are in our department? Come up and take a look at the images."
Qin Huai immediately said, "Professor Dong, our group currently has four interns."
"Chen Zhuoan... Yuan Pingping, Lin Hui, Luo Yunhua."
"Chen Zhuoan is an intern in the eight-year program. He is currently in his sixth year and is preparing to begin his internship in our orthopedic specialty department."
The eight-year program is divided into internship, general education internship and specialized internship.
Professor Dong Anhua said, "Then Lin Hui, you go first. Take a look at this film."
