Chapter 979: [979] The Boss is not easy to fool

Hearing her speak with such confidence, Teacher Lu raised an eyebrow, "How do you know there’s no problem?"

"An issue that was discovered early."

Disease is like that, early detection and treatment always yield the best prognosis.

"You’re no simpleton either; you went out with us once and immediately noticed something wrong with your senior fellow student Li’s health," Teacher Lu praised her.

Xie Wanying’s chopsticks hesitated in her mouth as she wondered whether Teacher Lu would believe her if she also said she had noticed something wrong with the teacher’s health.

"What was the case you mentioned on the phone?" Teacher Lu seemed to sense she was about to say something and steered the conversation away.

Bosses are extremely wary. Following her original plan, Xie Wanying spoke methodically, "It’s a patient with liver cirrhosis. They have some heart problems, not ruling out cardiogenic ascites, it could be constrictive pericarditis, though it’s currently unsupported; it might also be neither. Due to a lack of early detection, the best initial treatment opportunity was missed. A consultation with the department of cardiology has been done. On top of diuretics, they added digoxin tablets and aspirin, which enhanced the effect a bit. Most cardiovascular drugs lower blood pressure, and since the patient’s blood pressure is already low, many drugs need to be ruled out. Also, after another angiography, there’s suspicion of Budd-Chiari syndrome. Budd-Chiari syndrome could have an underlying myeloproliferative disease, which considerably limits the options when prescribing medication."

Listening to her enumerate these points, one could only feel that the patient’s condition was complex and challenging.

Sitting opposite, Zhang Shuping who had only finished his first year at medical school was completely bewildered. He looked at her, astonished, almost dropping his jaw, wondering how she managed to have such a clear grasp on the patient’s condition and speak so fluently without any hesitation.

She seemed to be just a medical student like him.

Teacher Lu, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, frowned as she listened. Xie Wanying had spoken so quickly just now that it made this boss’s mind work overtime without a moment’s rest.

This child is exceedingly intelligent, Teacher Lu thought inwardly. She must be relying on her stellar intellect to stay ahead of the pack on a daily basis. No wonder Fu Xinheng didn’t dare to speak to her at the emergency scene and needed to think for a long time afterwards before coming up with that sentence asking her to write a reflection.

Even the legendary Robot could only react like this to her. Thinking about it made Teacher Lu feel somewhat uneasy. This child had talked at length, probably edging her towards saying that line: When a patient reaches a certain stage and medication is ineffective, the only option is surgery.

The child probably guessed that she was sick and started self-prescribing medication.

As a boss in the School of Pharmacy, she was perfectly capable of prescribing some medication to see if it would help herself. Xie Wanying was using this common logic to deduce, which usually wasn’t wrong. Hence, the senior brothers weren’t as cool-headed as her when dealing with Teacher Lu.

"After we finish eating, show me that patient’s medical records. You brought them with you, right?" Teacher Lu said, in a tone befitting a boss.

"Yes, Teacher, please help us review it later and see if there’s some medication that could be used for the patient," Xie Wanying complied with her teacher’s words, like a good girl.

Teacher Lu deliberately asked her, "Does this patient only want to take medication? Is she admitted to internal medicine?"

"No, she’s in Hepatobiliary Surgery. The doctors said she can only wait for a liver transplant, but that’s not an option for her anymore."

"Hmm. So she has no chance of undergoing surgery then."

"I think surgery is possible, and furthermore, I’d like to try to get her a spot for a demonstration surgery at the National Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Surgery Academic Exchange Meeting."
