Chapter 128 Misdiagnosis

When Aunt Wang came over today, she actually brought a bag of apples and a few bananas.

There is really no place to buy fresh fruits these days.

Even eating some canned fruit will make you jealous to death.

"Xiao Chu, your uncle brought this back after the meeting last night. Xiao Meng said that your uncle had almost finished sorting out the fruits at the meeting place. There are just a few bananas left."

Li Chu was stunned when he heard that Uncle Wang had brought these fruits back from the venue.

I guess Uncle Wang was laughed at a lot by his old friends yesterday.

"Keep all the bananas for Qiu Nan. Please wash the apples and give them to everyone, Xiao Chu."

"Xiaoqin, don't blame your aunt for being partial!"

"Aunt, how could it be? Qiu Nan just gave birth and needs these things."

No one ate fruit just after dinner in the morning. Everyone went to school and went to work, and they were all ready to leave.

Before leaving, Li Chu said to Wang Ziwen: "Brother-in-law, please tell your friends at the Material Bureau today to issue some coal tickets."

Wang Ziwen nodded: "No problem, I'll give him a call when I get to the station. Do you think you need anything else here?"

"I don't need anything else for now, it's enough."

Mother Ding and Aunt Wang were left at home while everyone else left.

When he arrived at the hospital, Li Chu looked at the calendar on the table. Tomorrow is Sunday and the day after tomorrow is National Day. This time he can rest for two consecutive days.

You can spend time at home with Qiunan and your children.

"Doctor Li, the internal medicine department would like to ask you to come over for a consultation." Nurse Su from the director's office appeared at the door of the clinic and said.

"Okay, I'll go over now, thank you." Li Chu stood up, took off his white coat from the wall, and put it on while walking outside.

Li Chu is now a business card of their Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, and his name is now directly called upon for in-hospital consultations, asking him to participate.

He has attended out-of-hospital consultations several times, and now no one in the medical circle of Sijiucheng has made an issue with his age.

Of course, there are many people who dislike him. After all, the real hatred is between colleagues.

Internal medicine is still a general term. In the future, departments such as internal medicine, cardiology, urology, etc. will be divided into subdivided departments.

Just like surgery, it will be subdivided into several departments in the future.

When he arrived at the internal medicine inpatient department, there was already an internal medicine intern waiting at the door, and he was taken directly to the ward of the patient who needed consultation.

This is relatively rare. Usually, the patient's condition is first reported in the conference room, and then the patient is seen after the discussion.

When I came to the ward, the three chief and deputy directors of the Department of Internal Medicine were there, as well as three attending doctors of the Department of Internal Medicine.

Several doctors practicing in internal medicine stood in the back with their heads down.

The atmosphere in the ward was very solemn. The patient was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He didn't know whether he was asleep or something.

Next to the hospital bed stood a woman in her thirties, wiping away tears.

Seeing Li Chu come in, everyone looked over, obviously feeling like they could finally take a breath.

Director Chen from the Department of Internal Medicine forced an ugly smile on his dark face: "Xiao Li, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Yes, Director Chen, how is the patient?"

The two deputy directors next to him also nodded to Li Chu, but neither spoke.

Director Chen said directly without looking back: "Xiao Liu, please introduce the patient's condition."

Behind him, a female doctor who was about the same age as Li Chu took two steps forward.

Li Chu looked back. If he remembered correctly, Dr. Liu should be an alumnus of the same period as him, but because they were not in the same major, they were not familiar with each other.

Dr. Liu's eyes were red, and he had obviously shed tears. Judging from the atmosphere in the ward, he must have been reprimanded by the director just now.

Li Chu listened to Dr. Liu's introduction to the condition and stared at the patient on the bed.

The patient looked to be in his thirties, with a sallow complexion, some facial swelling, obvious dark circles under his eyes, and his ears were also sallow in color, which made Li Chu take a second look.

Following Dr. Liu's narration, Li Chu understood that a misdiagnosis had occurred.

The patient reported that he did not want to eat, felt like vomiting after eating, had diarrhea, dizziness, and soreness in the waist and knees.

As the first treating doctor, Dr. Liu did not do too many examinations. He treated the patient directly as a gastroenterologist and prescribed medicine to treat gastroenteritis.

The patient's condition improved after he went back and took the medicine on his own, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But not long after, the patient's condition recurred, and the symptoms were more severe than before, including frequent urination, oliguria, blood in the stool, and elevated blood pressure. This time he came to the hospital because he was in a coma.

After listening to Dr. Liu's narration, Li Chu turned back and looked at her deeply.

Did she misdiagnose due to poor medical skills or did she not do her job conscientiously?

Li Chu didn't think too much about it. No matter what the reason was, these were things that Director Chen needed to consider. In any case, Dr. Liu would not be able to do well this time.

Director Chen handed over the laboratory report in his hand. Li Chu took it and looked at it casually. He basically couldn't understand the data on these laboratory reports.

However, there was a receipt that stated that he was suspected of suffering from renal failure.

Li Chu raised his eyebrows, the difference in misdiagnosis is quite big!

He walked directly to the bedside and patted the patient's shoulder: "Hello, comrade, I am a doctor from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Can I take your pulse?"

The patient was not asleep. Li Chu slowly opened his eyes as soon as he called him.

Li Chu noticed that the patient's eyeballs were bloodshot.

The patient glanced at Li Chu beside the bed and said nothing. He closed his eyes again and just moved his hand next to Li Chu's side.

Upon seeing this, Li Chu reached out and felt his pulse.

After putting down the patient's left hand, Li Chu went to the other side of the patient and continued to feel the pulse.

After finishing both hands, Li Chu pondered for a while and nodded to Director Chen.

Upon seeing this, Director Chen said to the patient with his eyes closed on the hospital bed: "Comrade, you rest first. We will go out to discuss your condition and see how to treat it next."

After saying this, he walked directly out of the ward without waiting for the patient to express anything.

As he walked, he said: "Xiao Li, let's go to the conference room to discuss it."

All the doctors followed and walked out, leaving only the patient and his family members in the ward.

After everyone had left, the patient opened his eyes, turned to look at the woman next to him who was still crying, grabbed her hand, rubbed it, and sighed deeply.

After arriving in the conference room and waiting for everyone to sit down, Director Chen said, "Xiao Li, what do you think of this patient?"

Li Chu thought for a while and then said: "The conclusion I just saw on the test sheet was that it was renal failure?"

"This is the result of our comprehensive analysis based on various laboratory indicators."

Deputy Director Wang from the internal medicine department next to him said.

Li Chu nodded: "Dear leaders, I don't know much about the condition, cause and name of your Western medicine. I will simply tell you the conclusion I came to by taking the pulse just now."
