When the Doctor Uses A Hack

"Scissors!"

"Gauze!"

"Scissors!"

"Rock!"

Old Ma's untimely remark left everyone in the serious surgery room dumbfounded!

Everyone stared at Old Ma, hesitating to speak.

Old Yu couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by rock?"

Old Ma scratched his head anxiously, feeling quite uncomfortable!

"You've been saying scissors, gauze, scissors, gauze, I thought maybe we should have a rock in there too?"

Hmm…

This sounds perfectly fine, but... this is a surgery room, did you think we were playing rock-paper-scissors?

Nonetheless, Old Ma's "rock" made everyone in the surgery room chuckle and relaxed the tension.

In the following days, Chen Cang didn't have much going on, participating in emergency work every day, accompanying Old Yu on rounds, and strolling in the park when free. It was quite enjoyable!

Recently, Chen Cang felt his health improved a lot, at least not as tired.

Yeah, after drinking less, the side effects of frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination got a lot better.

Even drinking could be done with more ease now!

So much so that everyone doesn't really want to drink with Chen Cang anymore.

After all, what's the point of drinking with an emotionless wine jug?

But, this also made everyone envious.

Old Ma had patted Chen Cang's liver more than once, enviously saying, "Cang, I really want to trade my kidney for your liver. I have so much good wine at home, just afraid of damaging my liver."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue burst into laughter, "You're dreaming, how can you do business like this? You think your three-minute kidney can exchange for Professor Chen's iron liver?"

Old Ma didn't get angry.

It was a deal without cost anyway, what if he got lucky?

Liver transplant is also simple…

...

...

On Chen Cang's night shift, he brought takeout to the emergency office just before six o'clock.

There weren't many people at this time, so Chen Cang leisurely ate his dinner.

But just then, a commotion came from outside.

"Where's your director? I want to report you all!"

"Is this even a hospital, let alone the Capital Emergency Center Hospital? People are about to be saved to death by you!"

"Incompetent doctors wasting lives! Hurry up and arrest them!"

Two men and a woman stood angrily at the door, shouting at the emergency department.

It was the peak time for getting off work and also mealtime, so as people passed by, it instantly drew everyone's attention.

Before the nurse had a chance to call Chen Cang, he got up and headed outside.

After all, it was hard not to notice with such loud voices!

A dense crowd of people surrounded the area.

The two men and one woman were not young, all over forty, with a woman pushing a wheelchair with an elderly lady who had fainted.

Medical dispute?

Or something else?

That was Chen Cang's instinctive first thought!

However, regardless of whether it was a medical dispute, he needed to understand what was going on first.

As he spoke, Chen Cang walked straight towards them!

"Hello, I'm the on-duty doctor. May I ask what's happening? Or is there anything I can do to help you?" Chen Cang displayed a lot of professionalism and a great attitude!

The three saw Chen Cang, a young man, running out and were momentarily startled.

"It's none of your business, go get your director!" The middle-aged man said flatly, not seeming to want to make things difficult for Chen Cang.

At this time, it was past six in the afternoon, and the hospital's administrative staff had gone off duty.

Many directors without surgeries had actually left early too.

Chen Cang explained helplessly, "At this time, the directors are either in surgery or have already left work."

"I'm the one on duty today, if there's anything, I can help resolve it for you!"

Seeing that the other party wasn't being unreasonable, Chen Cang had inwardly judged that they might indeed have encountered a problem.

He quickly said, "Here's the thing, if the elder is currently unwell, we should not delay the treatment and proceed with the rescue as soon as possible."

"Whatever the issue, we can resolve it. If our treatment caused some adverse effects, the hospital will certainly not evade responsibility. Such a big hospital is right here, it won't run away, right?"

The middle-aged man nodded, and the woman behind hurriedly pushed the elder in.

"It's like this, my mother took the medication you prescribed today, and soon after, she fainted. Isn't this a problem with your treatment?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around started discussing it immediately.

To be honest, this is why the hospital prefers to settle matters quietly.

Because they're afraid of public opinion.

Chen Cang quickly asked, "What medication was taken? What is the elder's illness? Do you have the medical records? Let me take a look."

The woman quickly took out a box of medicine from her pocket and handed over the medical records.

"The medication has no problem. It was your doctor who told us to buy it from the pharmacy opposite!"

Chen Cang first glanced at the medicine.

"Dibazol tablets"

Chen Cang was slightly taken aback. This is a drug that dilates vascular smooth muscle, which can lower peripheral resistance, achieving a hypotensive effect, suitable for mild hypertension, and also has therapeutic effects on vasospasms.

But...

What's the patient's condition?

Why prescribe Dibazol?

Chen Cang opened the medical records to check.

After a careful look, Chen Cang was immediately stunned!

This is not hypertension at all!

Nor is it gastrointestinal spasm or vasospasm or anything!

This is obviously an elderly lady with hyperthyroidism accompanied by palpitations and excessive sweating.

But,

Why prescrib "Dibazol" for such a hyperthyroid patient?

This is completely unreasonable!

He continued to look down and saw the prescription signed by the doctor.

At this glance, Chen Cang was stunned!

The original prescription was probably taken when buying the medicine.

However!

The medical records would have the doctor's medication advice.

After seeing it, Chen Cang instantaneously understood what was going on.

But!

Because of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Damn, this is really frustrating.

He now understood why this situation occurred.

He quickly told the nurse, "Measure the elder's blood pressure."

While waiting, Chen Cang looked at the signature below.

"Yue Liang!"

The handwriting was grand and elegant.

The prescription was written with flair.

Exactly like how a doctor's handwriting should be.

Messy!

If it weren't for Chen Cang being a doctor, he might have misunderstood too, not to mention the patient.

This patient clearly has hyperthyroidism, and the prescribed medication was "Thyrozol"!

But what was written in this medical record?

"Dibazol" and "Thyrozol" are indeed very similar.

How could there not be issues?

At this moment, the elder's blood pressure result came out.

The nurse quickly said, "Professor Chen, blood pressure, 65/45mmHg!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang took a deep breath. Indeed, it was low blood pressure.

"Thyrozol" is an anti-thyroid medication, for treating hyperthyroidism.

"Dibazol" is for reducing blood pressure!

This messy handwriting directly led the patient to buy the wrong medication!

Chen Cang began to ponder how to explain it!

...

PS: Sloppy prescriptions are indeed a kind of sin!

I'm really against it, of course, my power is limited, my voice is weak, and I hope my strength can change some social issues.

Maybe that's the purpose of this book…
