Chapter 654 - 300: The Doctor’s Helplessness, A Good Start (Part 2)
After Old Yu gave him the phone number, he directly hung up.
Due to the critical condition of the patient, Director Kuo had already called over the other two official doctors from the endocrinology department to help resuscitate the patient.
Some small departments basically only have two or three official doctors.
At most, four or five.
The doctors doing the work are mostly interns.
Before long, the patient’s sister and others arrived one after another.
Seeing the patient’s condition was so serious, his sister entered the room with tears in her voice.
"Transfer, we demand an immediate transfer!"
The patient’s sister directly said to the doctors.
"The patient’s current condition makes transferring extremely dangerous. We suggest waiting until the patient’s condition stabilizes before transferring." Director Kuo gently rejected the family’s request for a transfer.
"You’ve gotten the person into this state, and now you’re not letting us transfer. If something happens, can you bear this responsibility?"
The two sides immediately started arguing.
In the end, several family members forcibly transferred the patient.
They called an ambulance from outside, carried the patient onto the vehicle, and left.
Faced with such a situation, the doctors and nurses were somewhat dumbfounded and very helpless.
Li Jingsheng had originally prepared to communicate with the family. After hearing what the patient’s sister said, he had no intention to meddle further.
He could only sigh.
"Dr. Li, thank you so much today. From you, I see in a doctor the heart of a parent."
"You’re too kind! The condition of this patient is really not good, and now that the family has forcibly transferred them, I am particularly worried something might happen on the way. You need to be prepared."
Li Jingsheng had originally arranged for an anesthesiologist to be ready for intubation rescue.
Now, it seems it won’t be needed.
Doctors sometimes face many moments of helplessness.
Whether it’s facing the choices of the family, the insurmountable illness, or even the oppression of authority, or the constraints of regulations, they can all feel powerless.
He still felt a bit uncomfortable leaving the endocrinology department.
Couldn’t quite describe it.
He now hopes the patient can safely transfer to a major hospital and receive effective resuscitation there.
He took a taxi back to his clinic.
And didn’t forget to call his girlfriend.
"Honey, is this just after work?"
Ou Qinglan asked him proactively.
"Just got out of the hospital, got off around half-past six. You didn’t just wake up now, did you?"
Li Jingsheng knew that working night shifts was exhausting.
The biological clock is easily disrupted, which makes doctors feel uncomfortable.
No choice, the orthopedics department has seen continued improvement recently, with a large number of inpatients to handle daily.
Ou Qinglan, although Li Jingsheng’s girlfriend, still couldn’t avoid night shifts.
"Am I that lazy? I got up early!" She pouted a bit unhappily. "Have you eaten yet?"
When she’s working, she always goes to the hospital cafeteria to buy dinner for Li Jingsheng.
Either packed to wait for him at the clinic after he gets off work, or directly bring it to his clinic.
"I ate, as soon as I was off, I went and ate. The endocrinology department had a patient with hypokalemia, and Director Kuo called me for a consultation around 2 PM, it was quite serious. I thought I’d take a look after dinner. The result wasn’t good; the family ultimately forced a transfer."
"You, always such a busybody. But having a doctor like you, who’s a busybody, is a blessing for patients."
"When I encounter it, I have to do something; you never know, you might just save a life. Unfortunately, the patient’s family was too unyielding, maybe they’ve lost trust in our hospital. Sigh, sometimes there’s really nothing you can do."
Li Jingsheng chatted with her for a while, then hung up the phone.
Returning to the clinic, as soon as he entered the door, his eyes lit up.
Ou Qinglan was in his clinic wearing a white dress.
"Qinglan... why are you here?"
"What, not welcome?"
She raised an eyebrow.
"You’re the owner’s wife of the clinic. Using the word ’welcome’ doesn’t feel right, does it?"
Li Jingsheng laughed as he hugged her.
The other employees had long clocked out.
The clinic only had her alone.
She was practicing suturing skills on a piece of pigskin.
"You know, I’ve often dreamed of coming back to the clinic after work to see you. It would be so wonderful! Today, it finally came true."
"Marry me soon! Then I can move into the clinic and live with you."
She quite enjoyed the idea of marrying Li Jingsheng.
"At least wait till I make enough money to buy this clinic! Otherwise, I can’t marry you with nothing, right? You might not care about material conditions, but your parents, your brother, they won’t agree."
Li Jingsheng had done the math; even getting a bank loan, he’d need at least two years of effort to buy this property.
And that’s only if Dean Fu offers it to him at the price of a second-hand house.
Otherwise, not even 20 million would be enough.
The scariest would be a public auction; it’d be even harder to get a good deal.
However, this time he unexpectedly hit the social media trend. If he can seize this opportunity and do well without any backlash, he should be able to significantly shorten the time needed to accumulate wealth.
"Getting married, what’s it got to do with them! They have such outdated thinking."
Despite her words, she certainly needed her family’s blessing for such a major life decision.
"By the way, you’ve been trending for two days now, and it seems like the hype hasn’t died down yet. Has no online girl sent you a message or anything?"
Her main concern was whether any women had messaged Li Jingsheng.
Women’s line of thinking is always so unique.
