Chapter 946: 【946】When talking to patients, attention must be paid

Thinking Xie Wanying was massaging her tired feet, Li Xiaobing quickly pulled her up, "I’m not a cripple. It’s just a short walk, no big deal."

"Take care of yourself," Teacher Lu felt she seemed a bit tired and told her, "On one hand, you have to continue working, and on the other, you’re carrying a child. The physical burden is for two people, you know that, right?"

When it came to work, Li Xiaobing actually felt it was okay. At the hospital, the leaders generally knew what was up with pregnant women and would be quite considerate when scheduling work. Like starting next month, they’re planning to take her off night shifts a month in advance.

"Your night shift the night before last?" Teacher Lu was surprised that she wanted to go out after finishing a night shift.

"Just sitting at home is dull, and walking around isn’t heavy physical work; it’s good exercise. I did a night shift the night before, and I rested all of yesterday," Li Xiaobing said, feeling that everyone around her was being overly concerned about her pregnancy.

Pregnant women need to get out and move around, otherwise what will they do when it comes to giving birth? Childbirth requires strength, and one should walk more and exercise regularly.

"Didn’t you have a miscarriage before?" Teacher Lu got on her case again, "You cried your eyes out after your last miscarriage. How do you plan on keeping this child if you don’t take good care of yourself? Cry again?"

Times have changed, Li Xiaobing emphasized, "Last time, I admit I was careless. I didn’t know I was pregnant and caused the miscarriage by moving heavy things. Haven’t I been much more careful this time?"

Xie Wanying said, "Sister, you should start monitoring your heart function. Your breathing rate was a bit fast just now, and I suspect your heart rate was quite high too. Climbing stairs today seemed to have been tough for you."

After hearing this, Li Xiaobing was taken aback for a moment.

"So, Sister, you’d better rest more and not walk around too much. Every pregnant woman’s condition is different, some are suitable for more activity, and some are not. You have to look at the specific health indicators," Xie Wanying said.

The other two fell silent for a while. It wasn’t clear whether it was due to the hustle and bustle of the people at the station being too loud, drowning out Xie Wanying’s voice, so it was a bit hard to hear clearly. Even so, Teacher Lu thought to herself: Look at how calm and collected this child speaks, just like an outstanding doctor.

Good doctors are like that. They don’t get emotional every other sentence, they speak with professional terms, and they say what needs to be said when it needs to be said. That’s why outsiders sometimes feel doctors are cold and impersonal. But there are things doctors must say; otherwise, patients won’t understand the severity of their situation and might end up in trouble.

Of course, it’s not good if the patient gets upset by hearing something too harsh, so how to talk to patients is a skill each doctor must develop. The attitude and tone of a doctor are therefore extremely important. Sometimes a patient might blank out upon hearing concerning information, and even a slightly wrong tone could cause them to fall apart.

Li Xiaobing frowned slightly. Her expression didn’t change, but she seemed to take Xie Wanying’s words to heart.

Actually, she herself had felt like climbing stairs was a bit challenging. The thing was, her husband is a cardiac surgeon. She always believed that if she had any issues, her husband would notice before she needed to worry.

Teacher Lu thought about her husband too and said to Li Xiaobing, "Go home and discuss this with Zhu."

However, Li Xiaobing suddenly looked stern and a bit upset, "Why should I talk to him about it?" After saying that, she stood up, "Let’s go, we’ll go look at baby cribs first."
