Chapter 120: 【120】Hurry, emergency rescue 1
The emergency department is busy; sometimes several patients come in at once, and a single ER doctor can definitely become overwhelmed, missed details are inevitable. It has been statistically proven abroad that the most common medical errors are missed and misdiagnosed cases, and they can’t always be completely avoided.
This was something that neither Doctor Jiang nor Huang Zhilei could refute. Doctor Jiang had no choice but to tell the truth, “The problem is, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to make suggestions. Since I’m neither a thoracic nor a cardiology doctor, I’m not a specialist in this area, and I don’t have persuasive power.”
If you’re going to argue with someone, without bringing in an expert in that field, they won’t pay any attention to you at all.
Because you’re not a specialist in that field, what right do you have to argue with a specialist about their expertise?
“Which attending is on duty for emergency internal medicine today?” Huang Zhilei asked, having understood something. “It should be Doctor Lin from cardiology on duty in the ER,” Doctor Jiang replied.
“Let’s go,” Doctor Jiang motioned with his hand, “I’ll take you to see another patient.”
Clearly, Doctor Jiang was trying to be kind; he didn’t want an intern, because of sympathy for a patient’s family, to be drawn into an unfavorable situation. As an intern, Xie Wanying had boldly spoken up, and old Jiang, who had been in the field for many years, knew right away that she must have been influenced by the patient’s family outside.
After all, as an intern fresh in clinical practice, it’s easy to be very eager, Doctor Jiang understood; he had gone through the same phase when he was a medical student.
Helpless, Xie Wanying had no choice but to walk with her seniors while continuing to brainstorm in her heart.
The group left the resuscitation room. They heard nurses talking to one another, “We have to transfer out the one on the cardiac monitor, another more serious patient is coming in; that’s what Doctor Lin said.”
They’re going to transfer Father Liu out now?
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanying grew even more anxious.

In the crowded emergency room, where so many patients were present, it was impossible for nurses and doctors to constantly monitor every patient’s condition.
For Father Liu, who might suffer a severe episode at any time, the cardiac monitor represented his last line of defense. Without the monitor, Father Liu would be left in the care of his family members at his bedside.
And Father Liu’s family member was just a seven-year-old child!
Apparently, Doctor Lin didn’t seem to have considered these factors—was it due to ignorance, or something else?
Xie Wanying, anxious, slowed her pace considerably, practically looking back with every step she took.
Huang Zhilei noticed and comforted his junior, “Wait a moment, I’ll see if I know someone and ask if we could check his medical records.”
But it was too late!
Xie Wanying turned back, her eyes fixed on the resuscitation room: Father Liu’s cardiac condition was changing.
Seeing her like this, Doctor Jiang scratched his head and smiled at Huang Zhilei, “It’s been a very long time since I’ve come across a medical student like this.”
Medical students just entering the clinic are full of eagerness, but when faced with the realities of clinical practice, they are like newborns, simply curious babies, more likely to watch than dare to act or speak out.
