Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Chapter 101: Doctor “lying” is also a technical job 3

“Nystagmus!” Doctor Wang’s voice suddenly soared, trembling as if in tandem with the female patient’s eyes, uttering with a shiver, “Ah, is that what she just meant?”

Hearing Doctor Wang’s exclamation, Xie Wanying realized: It seemed that when Doctor Wang and Director Lv didn’t respond to her mention of the nystagmus test earlier, it wasn’t out of opposition, but because they hadn’t understood what English word she had said. Not understanding, they could only pretend not to have heard it and had defaulted to something.

It wasn’t surprising, given that Director Lv was from a generation of doctors who came up in the sixties and seventies, with poor English speaking and listening skills. And there was Doctor Wang, much older than her senior brother, yet only a resident physician, which suggested that his academic paper level might be terrible. Doctors’ papers always needed to be linked to international journals, and passing English was the basic threshold.

Perhaps, was this one of the reasons these two seemed to dislike her and her senior brothers?

The elite students recruited into the eight-year program were academic prodigies. Not to mention clinical skills, when it came to writing papers, especially in English, they were definitely better than these two. That’s why Handsome Cao was sent abroad on a government scholarship, becoming a key figure in the country’s medical circles. Going abroad to study, English proficiency was the foremost criterion.

Realizing he had slipped, Doctor Wang covered his mouth with his hand and glanced nervously at the others. He just happened to meet Director Lv’s displeased gaze. Doctor Wang grew even more uneasy.

...

Director Lv turned around, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Cao Yong, then sweeping over Huang Zhilei and Xie Wanying behind him with the same sharpness.

As Director Lv looked at them like that, Cao Yong suddenly turned around and said to him, “It’s time for a CT scan, isn’t it, Director Lv?” @@novelbin@@

Want to see his junior brothers and sisters? Cao Yong smiled mischievously, blocking the other’s view with his body.

Director Lv’s expression darkened. At this point, if he said it wasn’t necessary, he would certainly not be acting as a doctor. And after all, he was a doctor.

The patient exhibited nystagmus. It wasn’t plausible to forego further CT scans, especially since this female patient was Director Zhang’s wife.

“Yes!” The word that came from Director Lv’s mouth was heavy with significance.

“What did you say, Director Lv?” The female patient couldn’t believe her ears and anxiously grabbed at Director Lv’s sleeve, “Director Lv, you promised me, you assured me over the phone. You said just a couple of stitches and I could go right home. You should know you were recommended by my cousin. My cousin said you were a good person and an easygoing doctor.”

Oh, so that’s how it was. An easygoing doctor, one who would heed the patient’s wishes without worrying about the actual condition.

The medical students were shocked after listening, feeling that the current incident reshaped their understanding of clinical doctors:

“What’s going on here?”

“Is this how doctors operate?”

Director Lv was startled, quickly denying: “I never said such a thing to her. I only instructed her to come to the hospital for an examination. After all, her family said she was bleeding nonstop, and I said that definitely required a hospital check-up.”

“You clearly said that, are you trying to blame this on me?” The female patient, furious, stood up to confront Director Lv and clear the matter. Unexpectedly, as she stood, she couldn’t steady herself; her legs seemed to be fighting each other, tilting to one side.

Seeing this, the patient’s son was close to tears: “Mom, Mom, what’s wrong?”
