Chapter 1184: Chapter 468: Down on His Luck, the Most Dangerous Male Doctor
"We’ve basically done all the necessary imaging tests. What additional tests are you planning to do?"
Director Tang Fei was evidently moved by what he said and was ready to accept Zhou Can’s diagnostic suggestion to conduct further examinations on the child patient.
However, before that, it is definitely necessary to communicate thoroughly with the family.
"Let’s do a capsule endoscopy of the small intestine, focusing mainly on groups 2 to 6. First, let me add that this may not be the final examination. If the results exceed my diagnostic expectations or new findings appear, further supplementary examinations may be needed."
Zhou Can made sure to notify her in advance.
Communicating with the family is a process that requires utmost care and should leave some room for adjustments.
"Okay, I’ll go talk to the family now. Once the results are out, we might still need to trouble you to take another look."
She was decisive.
After deciding to adopt Zhou Can’s diagnostic advice, she immediately took action.
Of course, they are all adults. The fact that Director Tang Fei was so proactive must have something to do with the family’s status.
No gain, no effort—this saying applies to almost every adult.
The conversation was almost over by this point.
"Call me anytime or send me a message on WeChat if you need anything. I’ll head back now."
Zhou Can stood up to say goodbye, preparing to go home early. In fact, it’s already late, nearing eight in the evening. He originally hoped to get off work earlier to have dinner with Su Qianqian.
But he was held up with work until now.
Luckily, there were no surgeries tonight, or else he might not even get to eat dinner by eight.
"Thank you, Dr. Zhou, for your dedicated efforts to help Pediatrics. If the cause of the child’s illness is identified, I will definitely acknowledge your contributions." Director Tang Fei was also an astute and shrewd person.
She invited Zhou Can for a consultation after hours, which lasted nearly an hour.
There must be some form of acknowledgment.
Otherwise, it might be hard to get Zhou Can to come next time.
While she was talking, she stood up to see Zhou Can off.
This also showed her respect and courtesy toward Zhou Can.
Opening the office door, Zhou Can turned around and waved at her, "Please don’t see me out!"
Director Tang Fei suddenly looked shocked, gazing down the corridor. There, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard was looking over coldly.
Zhou Can noticed and turned to look.
From the middle-aged man’s eyes, one could clearly see hostility.
His first impression of the middle-aged man was that he dressed carelessly. His dirty blue jeans, equally dirty sneakers, and a leather jacket draped open revealed a slightly shabby white undershirt.
The man’s hair was quite long and somewhat messy, like a bird’s nest.
Serious-looking black-framed glasses sat on his nose, and his beard hadn’t been shaved for at least two weeks.
The man’s right hand was holding something resembling a piece of paper.
Zhou Can looked closely—it seemed like two movie tickets.
His left hand was carrying a bag. Oh, it was actually a bag from the Chow Tai Fook jewelry store.
Such a man appearing in a hospital seemed rather out of place.
Given the tense doctor-patient relationships and frequent incidents of violence against doctors, Zhou Can remained highly alert around the man.
"Director Tang, that man seems strange. Be careful not to get harmed by him. If necessary, I can escort you and call security to check him out."
Zhou Can lowered his voice, expressing concern to Director Tang.
"No need, he’s my husband. He usually doesn’t visit me at the hospital, so I’m a bit surprised he suddenly came today. You can go." With that, Director Tang walked toward the man.
"Old Zhang, why are you standing outside? You should come to the office to find me!"
As she walked toward the man, she greeted him.
Her tone was quite affectionate.
It seemed that she had a good relationship with her husband.
In his heart, Zhou Can was worried, hoping this couple wouldn’t end up in a misunderstanding. Xue Yan had already been troubled, and if Director Tang Fei also got involved, no female colleagues would dare be alone with him in the future.
Director Tang’s husband’s eyes were clearly hostile toward Zhou Can. Being someone trained in martial arts himself, he was especially sensitive to hostile looks.
"I didn’t dare, afraid of disturbing you." Her husband’s tone was cold.
This was it; the misunderstanding had formed.
Who says only women get jealous? When men get jealous, they can be even pettier than women.
Zhou Can hesitated, wondering if he should go over and explain things to Director Tang. In the end, he dismissed the idea.
He feared it would only make matters worse.
It’s better to let her explain things to her husband at home.
...
The next day at the hospital, as he was making his rounds, Ye Tingting whispered to him, "I heard you were in Director Tang from Pediatrics’ office for over an hour yesterday, and then Director Tang’s husband caught you. Is it true?"
Zhou Can’s eyes instantly widened, "You even know about that?"
Ye Tingting looked slightly smug, "Hmph, don’t underestimate me. I’ve been a nurse for over seven years. Is there any hospital gossip that can escape my ears?"
These nurses love to gossip. They have private chat groups where they share things with each other.
When it comes to being informed, nurses and the hospital’s cleaning ladies are quite on par.
The cleaning ladies are mostly women in their forties and older, even more enthusiastic about gossip than nurses. They’re almost identical to those elderly women in rural areas or city neighborhoods.
