Chapter 387: I Haven’t Exerted Any Strength Yet
“We still need to x-ray him first. Send him over.”
The nurse and the patient’s family members pushed the patient to the radiology department. There was no one around. Liao Jiayu coughed and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid that he’s a drug addict!”
Jiang Tingxu indeed thought so too. Working in the emergency department, everyone had long been used to seeing people pretend to be sick and enter the hospital to trick them into giving them Demerol.
However, Demerol was a red prescription that required identity verification. The hospital also had strict control over it, so it was basically for drug addicts impossible to succeed.
Moreover, did these people really think that doctors had studied for so many years for nothing?
“Call the police?”
Liao Jiayu shook his head.
“Get the nurse to check the blood and report it once it’s confirmed.”
What if it wasn’t the case?
“Alright.”
The two of them called the head nurse over and discussed in a low voice. The head nurse nodded repeatedly.
“I understand. Alright, that’s all.”
Therefore, when the patient returned from taking the scans, Jiang Tingxu and Liao Jiayu carefully looked at the results on the scans. At that moment, the head nurse also brought the patient into the ward.
“We still have to take a blood sample.”
In the hospital, even a small cold needed a blood sample to be taken.
Therefore, no one was caught off guard. The only person whose face showed some stiffness was the patient who was lying on the bed and crying out in pain.
Jiang Tingxu had been paying attention to the patient’s movements, so naturally she saw everything clearly. However, in the end, the patient didn’t refuse and even took the initiative to ask the nurse to draw blood.
If he was really a drug addict, he wouldn’t be so bold, right?
However, the CT scan showed that there was indeed no problem.
For a moment, Jiang Tingxu and Liao Jiayu were a little puzzled.
What was going on?
Could it be that there was really something wrong with the patient?
Jiang Tingxu felt that something wasn’t right. He glanced at the patient on the hospital bed and then at the family member next to him before she said, “There is nothing wrong with the CT scan. Can you confirm where you are feeling the pain?”
The patient shook his head repeatedly.
“It hurts. It hurts all over. My entire body hurts.”
All over?
Jiang Tingxu took a few steps forward, lifted the patient’s clothes, and used her hand to press down again.
Unexpectedly, when she pressed down, before she could exert any strength, the patient cried out in pain.
“It hurts. doctor, be gentle, be gentle.”
The corners of Jiang Tingxu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
“I haven’t exerted any strength yet!”
Huh?
The patient who had been crying out continuously paused for a few seconds. However, he soon started wailing again.
Jiang Tingxu observed him carefully. The expression on his face was indeed one of pain, but the CT results showed that he was very healthy. Moreover, there were no needle marks on the patient’s arms, except for the one left behind by the head nurse when she drew blood.
However, the family member beside wasn’t as calm as before.
“Doctor, what’s wrong with my child? He took a CT scan after you asked him to. You said that the scan showed that he is fine, but my child is still screaming in pain.”
The family member was one step away from pointing at the doctor’s nose and scolding the doctor for being a quack.
Liao Jiayu pulled at Jiang Tingxu’s white coat and said, “Family members, please calm down. We can’t rule out the possibility of the patient being poisoned, so please be patient and wait for the blood test report to come out.”
Poisoned?
The CT scan couldn’t detect it, so they could only suspect that the patient might have been poisoned.
Fortunately, the nurse only took ten minutes before she came back this time. She held the report form in her hand.
“Dr. Jiang, Doctor Liao, the results are out.”
The report form was handed to the two doctors at first moment’s notice. However, when they saw the results on it, their expressions weren’t very pleasant.
