Chapter 1101: Doctors must be responsible for their own words.

Others listened to his cold tone and thought that he was indeed very cold-hearted and ruthless at critical moments. However, it cannot be said that his words are entirely incorrect. Otherwise, people wouldn’t come to her again tonight to ask further questions; everyone felt that tonight’s meeting was somewhat reserved.

The teachers came here to actively seek surgical blade treatment, and Xie Wanying felt a twinge in her heart at this thought.

"Next, talk about Teacher Lu’s illness." After adjusting his mood, Yu Xuexian turned back to Xie Wanying and said, "Teacher Lu has already been hospitalized, you can speak freely now."

After all is said and done, the discussion of Teacher Zhang’s medical records was to avoid making the same mistakes with Teacher Lu’s illness; this was the consensus of everyone tonight and the direction of everyone’s efforts.

"Senior Tao said that Teacher Lu’s medical records will be delivered tomorrow," Xie Wanying cautiously mentioned.

Zhu Huicang turned his head and nodded in agreement with her statement: that is indeed the case.

"No, I want to hear your thoughts," Yu Xuexian said, sending the disagreeing Zhu Huicang away.

Even if the medical records are brought tomorrow, what the doctors here can and will look at are only the results of the examinations the patient has undergone. As for the diagnosis, one must think independently. The problem is, sometimes the results of auxiliary examinations can be misleading. For example, a CT scan report always ends with the last sentence advising the clinical doctor to make the final diagnosis in conjunction with the clinical symptoms, implying that the radiologist doesn’t dare to guarantee that their equipment and interpretation are completely error-free.

Like the case of Old Zhang four years ago, the pre-surgery CT results and the post-surgery CT results two months later were vastly different, leading all doctors to doubt whether there was a problem with the equipment.

"Xie Wanying," Zhu Huicang quietly reminded her once more.

Xie Wanying understood the concern in Senior Zhu’s eyes. Despite Senior Zhu deliberately saying a bunch of words to her earlier, in fact, he did not want her to feel burdened.

Any doctor has to take responsibility for their own words, even if she is just a medical student, the words she speaks could potentially influence the teachers’ thought process.

However, she no longer had a choice now; having chosen the path of a doctor, she could not be excessively cautious and only consider herself, but must put the patients first. Xie Wanying felt grateful for Senior Zhu’s kindness and said, "I suspect that Teacher Lu has a duodenal tumor."

This answer was obviously very different from what everyone had initially thought. Everyone considered Teacher Lu’s various evasions, perhaps because he had liver cancer like Old Zhang, but was it not the case?

"Explain the basis of your judgment," a few teachers directed at her by name.

"Teacher Lu has right upper quadrant abdominal pain, which leads most doctors to first suspect liver or gallbladder issues because they are more common than duodenal diseases. In fact, duodenal problems can also involve the liver and gallbladder, causing right upper quadrant abdominal pain. This requires careful differentiation, which can be done immediately with an ultrasound," she explained.

"Did you see her ultrasound results?"

"No."

"Then what is your basis?"

"Although both conditions appear to cause pain in the same area, the locations of the two organs are different, and the sites of the pain expressed will certainly be different. When I saw her in pain, my first impression was that it wasn’t hepatic pain," Xie Wanying recalled and explained, "The teachers have not seen Teacher Lu’s pain attacks, but if they had, they would probably feel the same as me."

Duodenal cancer typically has atypical symptoms in the early stages.
