Chapter 567: Chapter 565 Together_1
The doctor shook his head helplessly, "I’m not clear on the specifics, but the patient just suddenly deteriorated. The nurse has already drawn blood for another test, and the results aren’t out yet. The family members are causing a commotion..."
"Enough, no more talk, I’m going to see what’s happening!" With that, Uncle Lu grabbed the white coat hanging nearby and slipped into it.
Xia Ningxing couldn’t sit still either. She put down her teacup and quickly followed, "Uncle, I’ll come with you to take a look."
"Good, come with me." Her medical skills were excellent, and since it was a matter of life and death, Uncle Lu naturally wouldn’t refuse and nodded immediately.
The three of them hurried toward the ward, but before they could enter, they were already pushed and questioned by the relatives inside.
"What are you doctors even good for? My dad just caught a cold, and you almost killed him with your treatment. I’m telling you, if your hospital doesn’t explain this matter, we will definitely sue you and expose you to the media and journalists, so that Lu Hospital’s reputation is destroyed!" The family members pointed fingers at Xia Ningxing and her companions, their voices painfully loud.
Uncle Lu’s face grew dark.
Xia Ningxing directly ignored the other party and walked towards the patient, then began to check his pulse.
The patient was an elderly man around seventy years old.
He was so frail that he was almost just bones, curled up in the blanket, his body burning red with high fever, spots resembling chickenpox on his hands and face, and bloody foam continuously spitting out from his mouth.
His body was trembling, his eyes rolling back as if he had been electrocuted.
The heart monitor was also very unstable.
The situation looked very grim.
Xia Ningxing calmed her mind, excluding all distractions, and focused on taking the pulse.
However, the more she checked, the more serious Xia Ningxing’s expression grew.
The pulse was too erratic, tangled like a mess of yarn that couldn’t be untangled.
She couldn’t make a diagnosis.
This was the first time Xia Ningxing had encountered such a condition, and her face couldn’t help but darken as she continued to check.
She refused to believe that she couldn’t untangle this mess of yarn!
Seeing her expression, Uncle Lu immediately had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, as if something big was about to happen.
He hoped nothing would go wrong!
Uncle Lu silently prayed in his heart. This prayer was not out of fear that the family would cause trouble, but out of a greater hope that the patient would recover soon.
While he was in turmoil, the family members were still babbling non-stop, "Are you out of your minds? My dad is almost gone, and you still bring in an inexperienced young doctor to treat him. Do you really want him to die?"
Although the family members couldn’t see Xia Ningxing’s face under the cap and mask, they could tell from her build and demeanor that she was a very young girl, so they exploded when they saw such a young doctor examining the patient:
"This is outrageous!"
"And you call yourself a dean, messing around like this!"
"Change doctors! Get me a better doctor immediately, or I’ll sue you!"
"Yeah! We’ll sue you!"
The other family members joined in the clamor.
Some even attempted to rudely pull Xia Ningxing away, "You little girl, how many years have you been working, what illnesses can you cure? Get out of here!"
"If you end up killing my family’s old man, can you afford it?"
Xia Ningxing, although she could understand the anxious feelings of patients’ families when facing a loved one’s fading breath, that did not mean she would accept being hit by them.
Her eyes chilled, and just as she was about to dodge the other party’s wandering hand, Dean Lu had already stepped in, gripping their hand to prevent any further action.
"Don’t touch her!" Uncle Lu would never let anyone disturb Xia Ningxing’s diagnosis, and immediately scolded, "Let me tell you the truth, Xingxing is indeed young, but her medical skills are the highest standard in our entire hospital, so please trust her expertise!"
"Moreover, us doctors are more anxious than you family members about the patients, and we all hope for their safe recovery."
He spoke with a sincere tone and a look of earnestness on his face.
Uncle Lu truly was a good doctor, with a benevolent heart, treating every patient as if they were his own family, trying his best to help them, and often reminding the medical and nursing staff below him to have a compassionate and accommodating heart for the patients.
But the family members sneered coldly, obviously not convinced: "You’re more anxious than us? Bullshit! That’s my dad, not yours! What are you anxious about?"
"If you ask me, you’re just worried that if my dad dies, your hospital will have to pay up!"
Uncle Lu’s face turned dark, but with the thought that it’s better to avoid more troubles, he did not retort.
In any case, this was not the first or second time such a thing had happened.
Let them misunderstand, otherwise, they couldn’t accept it, right? It’s not like he could literally take out his heart to show them!
The family members continued to mock with cold laughs: "If you ask me, you, the Dean, have a bad brain too, how could such a young girl have good medical skills, we should still..."
Before the family members could finish talking, Xia Ningxing already interrupted, saying to Uncle Lu:
"Uncle, I suspect he has been food poisoned, I don’t know what he has eaten before."
"Food poisoning?" Hearing this, Uncle Lu couldn’t help but frown, looking back at the blood test report, which showed no signs of poisoning.
Could it be a neurotoxin?
The elderly man’s family members were also stunned.
But the next second, they couldn’t help but sneer again, looking at Xia Ningxing with a contemptuous gaze:
"You quack, does food poisoning start off looking like a common cold?"
"Exactly! The little girl sure can make up stories!"
"And you said he’s been poisoned, so what poison is it?"
The family members asked aggressively one after another.
If it had been a doctor with a thin skin and faint heart, they probably would have been scared to tears by now.
But Xia Ningxing’s expression remained unchanged, and before she could say anything else, two doctors hurried over.
"Dean, the other workers who had been given an IV for a cold along with patient number 05 have ended up in the same condition as patient number 05."
In their eyes was a sense of panic, unable to understand how such a minor cold had escalated to something so severe.
And patient number 05 was the elderly man from before.
Hearing this, Xia Ningxing didn’t seem surprised and calmly inquired, "What had they all eaten before?"
"We’re all from the same fishing crew; we ate the same food, the meals from the ship’s canteen," the accompanying family members quickly chimed in together.
It turned out that these patients were colleagues before this, making a living by fishing at sea.
"So you didn’t eat anything else?" Xia Ningxing furrowed her brows, continuing to probe: "Like something more special, something you haven’t eaten before?"
