"The patient has developed mild peritonitis and his condition is quite serious. He needs surgery immediately."
"If you must find someone, you must hurry up." Tao Le reminded.
"I know." The family member said, went to the window and dialed the phone.
"Teacher Tao." Xu Shou came to them and said to Tao Le: "Director Hou called just now and asked you to go to the ward to help look after a patient."
Tao Le turned around and saw that the call to the family had not yet been completed, so he said to Xu Shou: "Has Director Hou told you the specific condition of the patient?
"No." Xu Shou replied: "With Director Hou's temperament, how dare we ask questions when he is talking?"
"Okay. Then help me take care of this patient first." Tao Le briefly explained the patient's condition, and then prepared to leave.
Xu Shou glanced at the images and test sheets and immediately understood the situation: "Teacher Tao, he needs surgery right away, right? If you are relieved, will you leave the surgery to me?"
Tao Le showed a helpless expression: "I probably have no say in this matter - it still depends on the wishes of the family members."
She dropped these words, put her hands into the pockets of her white coat, and left calmly.
Although Xu Shou was a little strange, he still solemnly told the patient about the necessity of surgery as soon as possible.
The patient's pain this time was a little worse than before. He held his right abdomen and frowned, but did not answer his words.
However, his wife hung up the phone and looked a little unhappy.
She returned to the hospital bed and ignored Xu Shou standing by, but complained directly to the patient:
"Lao Liu, Dr. Yang said that since we are receiving treatment here in the emergency department, we have to do the surgery here. It is not convenient to transfer to another department."
"Tell me, just now I said to call Dr. Yang first, but you didn't listen. Instead, you said to find out the problem in the emergency department first and then call someone. Now it's fine, he just ignored me!"
The patient raised his head and said with some difficulty: "Then did he say which doctor in the emergency department is pretty good and would like to say hello and contact us?"
"This is what makes me most angry." The wife's face darkened: "He actually told me that Dr. Tao is the only one who treats us. There is no need to find anyone else."
"You said that this doctor friend introduced by your nephew is too unreliable. Just find such a young doctor to perform the surgery for you. He saves worries, but can we rest assured?"
When Xu Shou heard this, he already understood the meaning of Tao Le's words before leaving.
"Patients and family members, please listen to what I have to say." He couldn't help but interrupt: "So you haven't signed the consent form for the surgery. Do you think Teacher Tao is too young?"
"What else?" said the patient's wife: "We, Mr. Liu, have never had any surgery in our lives. This is still the first time for a young girl to get married. If we don't find someone with experience, we won't worry."
"Then you are really blessed with blessings." Xu Shou shook his head and said, "Teacher Tao really rarely performs this kind of appendix surgery."
"Having done less, does that mean you don't have much experience?" The wife immediately showed an expression of "Sure enough," "I just said, you are so young, you should study hard, how can you just go to the operating table by yourself? Already?"
"You misunderstood." Xu Shou said slowly: "What I mean is that appendix surgery is too difficult, so generally we can't hire her."
The amount of information in this statement is a bit large and difficult to understand.
The patient and his family members all raised their heads and looked at Xu Shou at the same time.
The latter recalled the relevant news from his friends on the front line in Saskatchewan, and spoke with confidence:
"Teacher Tao usually performs extremely difficult level four surgeries, or some cutting-edge surgeries."
"In the year when we first aided Tibet, there were so many people queuing up to wait for her diagnosis and surgery. She was really hard to find."
The patient and his wife looked at each other, and the latter asked hesitantly: "Are you exaggerating? Isn't it just a young resident who dares to perform difficult surgeries, and there are still people waiting in line?"
Xu Shou nodded: "So I say you are blessed."
"Teacher Tao, this is his first day back at work. It just so happened that you met, and that's how you got the opportunity to have this surgery."
"No, do you think Dr. Tao is really that high?" the patient's wife asked again.
"How can that not be high? She is an honorary member of our Chinese Medical Association!"
The patients and their families looked confused. Every other line is like a mountain. They never care about the affairs of the medical field, and naturally they have no idea what kind of organization the Chinese Medical Association is and how valuable its honorary members are.
"Isn't that honorary membership quite rare?" the patient also asked.
"Rare? It should be said that it is rare." Xu Shou almost wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: "In the past three years, she is the only one in the country who has been named an honorary member. Do you think it is rare or not?"
"That's really rare." His wife answered nonchalantly.
Xu Shou had already started talking and wanted to shake the bag to the end.
"Do you know the International Society of Surgery? The world's top organization in the field of surgery specially invited her to join as a core member. Guess what, Dr. Tao refused!"
"Don't you know what neurosurgery does? To put it simply, it is to make an incision in the brain, then sew it back intact after the operation is completed - it is the most sophisticated and complex of all surgeries."
"Think about it, people can even do surgical surgeries, so what problems can there be in appendix surgery?"
When the patients and their families heard this, their spirits were lifted.
"Then we just trust you and let Dr. Tao do this surgery for our old Liu?"
Xu Shou patted the surgery consent form and said: "Wise choice! Even Dr. Tao doesn't mind that this surgery is small, but you still have the nerve to pick three and four. Sign it quickly and enter the operating room when Dr. Tao comes back."
At this moment, a nurse hurried over and said to Xu Shou: "Doctor Xu. Dr. Tao called just now. Shenwai has a serious condition that requires immediate surgery, so she has already entered the operating room."
"As for the patients here, she puts you in full charge."
The patient became anxious upon hearing this and ignored the pain. He quickly asked, "What does she mean? Dr. Tao can't perform surgery on us?"
Xu Shou slowly and bit by bit pulled back the surgery consent form that had been handed to the family members, and then sighed: "What did I just say? God can't take it, and it won't wait until it's too late. "
"Doctor Tao has already gone to the operating table, and he will definitely not be able to take care of you for a while. Now you have to decide quickly whether you agree to let me perform this operation."
