Chapter 528 - Chapter 528 Classmates Dispute

Chapter 528: Classmates Dispute Chapter 528: Classmates Dispute “Do you have a good relationship with my son?” Aunt suddenly looked at her and asked.

“We’re classmates, Aunt.” She knew that in Aunt’s current state of mind, she mistook Li Qi’an as her own son.

“I know, you’re classmates. Are you dating?”

“No.” She couldn’t be careless with her words.

“I want to hold my grandchild,” Aunt said.

Aunt must have a grandchild. Xie Wanying guessed that at Aunt’s age, her son should have established a family and career by now. She turned her head, seeing the figure of the shift leader who was passing by the ward in the corridor outside, and called out, “Shift leader.”

Hearing her voice, Yue Wentong stopped in his tracks and walked towards the ward to ask her, “What’s up?” Looking past her, he saw Aunt from bed 23. Bed 23 was part of the third group, the patient under Gao Zhaocheng’s care, and he followed Gao Zhaocheng.

Speaking of Aunt Wang from bed 23, she had thought before being admitted that her chronic diarrhea was due to indigestion and had gone to see a gastroenterologist. The gastroenterologist recommended a colonoscopy, and after the examination, it was discovered she had colon cancer, so she was transferred to General Surgery Department Two. Just a few days after the transfer, other comprehensive examination results came out; the cancer had metastasized throughout the body.

This case was somewhat similar to the previous one that Xie Wanying had mentioned about the dancing aunt. The tumor didn’t seem large, but because the patient was relatively young, the metastases spread particularly quickly. Aunt Wang wasn’t as lucky as the other aunt; her diagnosis came too late, and now she could only undergo full-body chemotherapy as a last resort.

So, yesterday, the doctors called in the family to talk and ask for their wishes. Given the patient’s condition now, with her brain lacking oxygen and not very lucid, she couldn’t make the decision on her own.

Yesterday, Senior Gao talked with the family with Yue Wentong listening in the entire time.

The family’s opinion was to give up treatment and let the patient go home.

Once the patient went home, she would likely die even faster because the family’s home couldn’t provide oxygen like the hospital could.

As doctors, we try our best to persuade them–even if they don’t want treatment, to see if the patient can stay in the hospital for a few more days to breathe some oxygen, get some injections, and be more comfortable before going home.

But the patient’s son became unhappy when he heard this, saying that the hospital was wasting their money. In his opinion, his mother shouldn’t have been admitted to the hospital with her condition.

What place is Guoxie, needing to retain a patient just to make money? Discharging this patient and admitting one who could undergo surgery would bring more revenue. There’s a long queue of patients waiting for a hospital bed outside.

Gao Zhaocheng, of course, just smiled and didn’t bother with the family’s remarks.

What Yue Wentong had not expected at all was something he later heard from Lin Hao who was on the night shift. He said that his patient was calling out every night for Li Qi’an, her son.

How could his classmate be foolish enough to get involved in such a mess? Didn’t he know to maintain a certain distance from patients at all times?

After breakfast, Li Qi’an rushed back to the ward to see the patient. Seeing the shift leader there, he paused, “Shift leader, you’re here?”

Yue Wentong turned his face and glared at him with dissatisfaction.

Receiving that glare, Li Qi’an was puzzled: What’s going on?

Xie Wanying asked Li Qi’an to keep Aunt company and pulled the shift leader aside to inquire, “Do you know if she has a grandchild?”

“You’re meddling in my patient’s family affairs just like he is. What are you trying to do?” Yue Wentong didn’t answer her question but gave her a scrutinizing look, disbelieving that she could be as foolish as Li Qi’an.

If the patient’s family was easy to talk to, needless to say, the doctor could help. But this aunt’s family only wanted to complain about the doctors. What could the doctors do?

“What happened to her son?” Xie Wanying picked up on the odd tone in his voice and asked.
