C19 The Heart of a Doctor.
"Little Zhang, show me the X-ray scan."
Physician Xu brought Lee Minghao to the ward and informed Sister Zhang before he continued to observe the old man's condition.
This time, Lee Minghao obediently followed behind him and did not say a word. He only looked at him very seriously.
"Physician Xu, you're here."
Sister Zhang informed him and handed the X-ray scan to Xu Guangqi.
"Hmm, it seems like it's right." Xu Guangqi said softly and then handed the X-ray scan to Lee Minghao. "Take a good look at it too."
"Quick pee 20 milliliters per hour!"
Xu Guangqi's unquestionable attitude prompted Sister Zhang to start working. She immediately took out a syringe from the side and pushed it into the patient’s infusion tube.
Seeing that the quick pee was pushed in, Xu Guangqi thought for a moment and said, "Add 5% glucose 250ml, 25ml sodium chloride, and 6 drops per minute. Monitor the patient’s blood pressure!"
Sister Zhang quickly followed Xu Guangqi's instructions and completed it.
As time passed, under the effect of oxygen and medicine, the old man's breathing finally slowed down a little. Xu Guangqi's previously calm face also relaxed a little.
Xu Guangqi went up and used the stethoscope to listen to the patient’s heart rate. Although the old man's heart rate had eased up, it was still 126/minute. Furthermore, the old man's breathing was still a little fast.
Xu Guangqi frowned slightly, then turned to Sister Zhang and said, "50 ml of glucose + 0.4 ml of Hydrocortisone + 20 ml of Hydrocortisone. Maintain this for five minutes!"
Lee Minghao watched carefully from the side. This Hydrocortisone was a good cardiac tonic, but it had a lot of side effects. The speed of infusion must be extremely slow, or else the patient would have a heartbeat that was too slow or a heart attack. Lee Minghao also understood why Xu Guangqi gave the order to complete the infusion in five minutes.
After the infusion was completed, less than a minute or two later, the old man's heart rate had dropped to 98 beats per minute, and the old man's breathing had also started to ease up. The first thing that happened was that the old man opened his mouth and raised his head. He gradually calmed down and returned to his previous appearance.
Seeing this situation, everyone sent Yi Kuang a thumbs-up. Lee Minghao's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, also calmed down. The patients who were receiving injections by the side saw that Xu Guangqi had brought such a dangerous patient here for a long time, and they all sighed, "Physician Xu is really amazing. This old man was about to die, but he actually saved him!"
The patient’s son also relaxed his anger a little. He walked up to Xu Guangqi and explained to him in a grateful manner, "Physician Xu, thank you for your hard work. I was too anxious just now, so I was a little rude. I'm really sorry!"
Then he said to Lee Minghao, who was behind Xu Guangqi, "Little brother, thank you. If you hadn't stopped me and made me calm down, thank you, little brother."
Then he handed over a business card. Lee Minghao glanced at his master and found that Xu Guangqi did not care, so he accepted it. However, he did not look at it in detail.
Xu Guangqi patted the patient son and said with a smile, "It's fine. I can understand your feelings. Just pay attention in the future. As long as your father is fine!"
Then Xu Guangqi and Lee Minghao left the ward to let the patient recuperate.
As Xu Guangqi walked, he turned his head to look at Lee Minghao behind him. He found that he had been looking down and thinking about something, so he listened.
Lee Minghao had been thinking about what had happened just now and did not notice that Xu Guangqi had already heard him. With a thud, he knocked into him.
"I'm sorry, Master. I was distracted just now."
Lee Minghao quickly apologized. If he had offended his master, he would not have a good ending.
"Minghao, what are you thinking about? You are so engrossed that you don't even look at the road?"
Xu Guangqi was still very concerned about this disciple he had just taken in and asked.
"It's like this, Master. Just now, when I was treating the old man, the medicine I used was all western medicine. I was thinking about how I diagnosed that the old man was suffering from acute left heart failure."
Lee Minghao asked his master. In fact, he was doubting his medical skills. However, Lee Minghao's sincere expression made it hard for people to associate him with learning.
Seeing Lee Minghao's expression, a smile appeared on Xu Guangqi's face. "Silly boy, my medical skills are mainly traditional medicine. I pay attention to all aspects of diagnosis. Without all kinds of medical records, how can I diagnose the cause of the disease?"
"Traditional medicine?" Lee Minghao looked at his master in surprise. "Then why do you want to use Western medicine to treat the disease? Isn't it more reliable to use traditional medicine?"
Xu Guangqi seemed to have guessed that Lee Minghao would ask this question. He smiled faintly and said, "Traditional medicine is the foundation. But how many patients can accept the treatment of traditional medicine? The method is not important. The important thing is the result. So, I will adopt a method that can convince people."
Lee Minghao felt the same. He looked at his master with admiration and nodded seriously.
"Minghao, if you follow me, are you prepared to pass down the tradition of traditional medicine?"
Xu Guangqi looked at Lee Minghao seriously, and there was a trace of desire in his eyes.
Lee Minghao thought about it carefully and nodded heavily.
