My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1305: Chapter 515: Evidence of Guilt? Unspoken Rules of the ICU_2

The Digestive Internal Medicine at Tuya Hospital held a meeting, using this case as a warning to strictly enforce safety education.

Zhou Can was not familiar with Provincial People’s Hospital. It was now after work hours, close to 6:50 in the afternoon. Zhou Can exerted quite a bit of effort to find the Intensive Care Medicine Department based on the hospital map.

Hospitals that have reached the scale of a provincial tier-three hospital are generally quite large.

It could take maybe thirty minutes to walk through the entire place.

In the corridor outside the intensive care unit, Zhou Can immediately saw a young girl wearing a light pink top, looking utterly exhausted.

She appeared to be about twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

She was quite tall and had very refined features. Judging by her temperament, she seemed to be a very talented girl.

There’s a saying that a tiger father doesn’t produce a dog son.

Deputy Director Lu’s academic and medical skills are both very good; his daughter should have strong academic achievements as well.

"Excuse me, are you Lu Fen?"

"Yes, I am Lu Fen. Are you Dr. Zhou Can?"

"Yes!" Zhou Can nodded. "I feel very bad about what happened to Director Lu, and I am very sympathetic to your family’s situation. How is Director Lu now?"

"They are trying to save him in the Intensive Care Unit, to preserve his life. It seems the intracranial hemorrhage is not yet under control. The doctors informed us that the situation is not optimistic. He could pass away at any moment. Even if he survives this, he might end up becoming a vegetable, or have cognitive impairments."

Intracranial hemorrhage resulting from a fall is often extremely dangerous.

This indicates that the head struck the ground or a hard object, resulting in severe injury.

Additionally, some patients who fall from a height may look fine initially, but after a period ranging from several hours to one or two days, their condition may worsen, ultimately leading to death.

Internal injuries can sometimes be hard to detect immediately.

For example, internal bleeding often requires further checks based on chest fluid and abdominal fluid tests.

Even today, with highly advanced diagnostic equipment, procedures such as exploratory laparotomy, thoracotomy, and craniotomy are still widely used in clinical practice. What does this imply?

It implies that no matter how advanced the diagnostic equipment is, the internal conditions cannot be viewed with the naked eye, and some causes might not be detected.

Exploratory laparotomy and craniotomy allow for a clearer determination of the causes.

"Dr. Zhou, can I confirm your identity by calling your phone?"

Lu Fen appeared quite alert.

"Of course!"

Zhou Can nodded in agreement.

She took out her phone and dialed Zhou Can’s phone number, while his phone vibrated continuously. He showed the phone screen to Lu Fen for verification.

"Please don’t mind; my father is now critically ill. The Third Hospital, which has driven him to this state, holds very powerful influence. To me, a weak woman, they are a behemoth, and I must be cautious."

Lu Fen’s way of speaking and acting gave Zhou Can the impression that she was quite immature.

People remain naive unless they go through adversity.

She is very likely still a student, with thoughts and awareness differing from Zhou Can, who has been working in society for many years.

"I understand. Being cautious is a good thing."

Zhou Can nodded.

"If there are any difficulties with medical expenses, feel free to reach out to me anytime. Alas! Seeing a former colleague in such a plight is truly heartbreaking."

He tried to offer some assistance to Deputy Director Lu’s family.

Deputy Director Lu was driven to suicide by jumping off a building; the family’s financial situation is likely not ideal.

This was merely Zhou Can’s speculation.

After all, Deputy Director Lu previously worked in Cardiothoracic Surgery, with a post-tax annual income of at least 350,000 yuan. Never mind the online claims of an average annual income of over a million; those were mere bragging by keyboard warriors.

In reality, earning a stable monthly income of over ten thousand already surpasses 95% of people in the country.

A post-tax annual income of 350,000 implies the hospital’s employment cost is at least 500,000 yuan.

The difference in income between a deputy director and a chief physician is quite considerable.

A chief physician with slightly better surgical skills in Cardiothoracic Surgery has a post-tax annual income of at least 500,000 yuan. The general level at Tuya is between 600,000 to 1.2 million yuan.

This refers to the post-tax income actually received.

The online claims of every chief physician starting with an annual salary of two million are definitely exaggerated.

At least Zhou Can hasn’t seen any chief physician who became extremely wealthy. The most they are is middle class.

"Thank you, thank you! This is a letter my father specifically left for you, asking me to deliver it to you by hand. I don’t know what’s written in it; I guess it might contain the reason for his suicide."

Lu Fen took out a thick letter from her arms.

To be more precise, this should be called a mail pouch.

The pouch opening was sealed and had not been opened before. It was not just a few sheets of paper inside; it had considerable weight.

Zhou Can secretly estimated that what was inside might be evidence of the Third Hospital harming them, the personnel who switched jobs.

Being able to become a deputy director physician indicates high intelligence and good knowledge.

He would naturally think of ways to collect evidence against the Third Hospital to eventually seek revenge.

Zhou Can did not open the envelope right away, opting instead to put it away directly.

"Dr. Zhou, if my father unfortunately doesn’t make it, please help us; I must get justice for my father."

Lu Fen bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes.

Her gaze and facial expression were extremely determined.

"As long as it’s within my capacity, I will not stand by. Where are your other family members?"
