Chapter 35: Wang Xu's Misdiagnosis

  P.S: One more shout-out, please collect and recommend!

  Wang Xu was recommended by Miao Runfeng in the past. Now that Old Master Luo has been cured by Wang Xu's Fangzi, Miao Runfeng is naturally very happy and told Wang Xu about the whole thing with a smile.

  After Wang Xu and others left, Luo Tongquan hesitated again and again, but finally decided to try according to Wang Xu's plan. As the mayor of Zhongjiang City and a standing committee member of the provincial party committee, Luo Tongquan held great power and was decisive in his actions, quickly weighing the pros and cons.

  Of course, Luo Tong's father, Old Luo, also played a role in pushing the waves. The old man had been tortured by illness for a week and could no longer bear it. Now that there was a way to cure his own disease, he also made up his mind.

  Since Luo Tongquan and Old Luo had made up their minds, Qian Yousheng and the others couldn't say anything more. They quickly decocted the medicine and let the old man take it. To prevent any accidents, Qian Yousheng and the others stayed in the sickroom all night to be on guard against any unexpected event.

  At around 5 o'clock in the morning, Lao Luo's stomach started to respond. First, his bowel movements became smooth, and then his urination gradually cleared up. By 5:30, Lao Luo had fully recovered from his constipation and was feeling comfortable all over. Overjoyed, he hastily called Miao Runfeng without even realizing it was still early in the morning.

  "Haha, I won't go then. Since the bowel movements are smooth, there's no big problem anymore. Lao Qian and them will handle it well." After hearing Miao Runfeng finish explaining what happened, Wang Xu also let out a sigh of relief, smiling faintly as he spoke.

  "You, this is an opportunity that many people can't get. Miao Runfeng smiled with a bad temper, but he had known Wang Xu for so long and roughly understood his temperament, so he didn't force him. After all, he had personally promised Wang Xu a condition at the beginning, but Wang Xu had never taken the initiative to find him, which showed Wang Xu's character."

  After hanging up Miao Runfeng's phone, Wang Xu couldn't sleep either. After washing up, he went downstairs and ran a few laps around the dormitory. When it was almost time, he had breakfast and went straight to work.

  Seeing Wang Xu come in, Zhao Kai hastily came up to greet him: "Dr. Wang, are you feeling better?"

  "Alright, it's fine now. You've been working hard these past few days." Wang Xu said with a faint smile as he walked to his office desk and began flipping through the medical records of the past few days, while Zhao Kai provided timely explanations beside him.

  Wang Xu's patients during his break were all taken care of by Zhang Yi Ming personally, and two of them have already recovered and been discharged. Because he was on vacation for a few days, there weren't any new patients added.

  After reviewing the medical records, Wang Xu also felt much more at ease. At present, there are only three patients under his name who have not been discharged from the hospital, all of whom have had chronic illnesses for many years and will take at least a month or two to recover, so there is no need to rush for the time being.

  Taking advantage of Wang Xu's rest days, Wang Chenlong found Ren Hui and specially swapped shifts with Wang Xu. Now Wang Xu is in the same shift as Han Yixue, and Wang Chenlong is in the same shift as Chen Kaiwen.

  At first, Wang Chenlong looked down on Wang Xu because of his low profile and felt pressure, which led to conflicts between them. However, in just over a month, the situation was completely reversed. When working with Wang Xu, Wang Chenlong basically didn't receive many patients.

  It's not that Wang Xu's reputation has become very big, but because after someone made a scene in the emergency room last time, some informed patients deliberately went to see Wang Xu, and other uninformed patients who registered also liked to follow the crowd. Subconsciously, they thought whoever had more people queuing up for their registration was better at medicine, which has become a common practice in major hospitals.

  Today, Wang Xu and Han Yixue were on duty in the inpatient department. After reviewing the medical records, Wang Xu took Zhao Kai to check the ward again. As soon as they returned, a patient was sent from the emergency room just as they sat down in the duty room.

  This patient is obviously not a small matter, and Zhang Yiming personally accompanied him to be admitted to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, asking Wang Xu and Han Yixue who would like to take charge.

  Han Yixue and Wang Xu got along well after a month, considering that Wang Xu had fewer patients under his name, he directly handed them over to Wang Xu.

  Wang Xu didn't decline, and followed Zhang Yi Ming to the ward, with Zhao Kai following closely behind. On the way to the ward, Zhang Yi Ming briefly told Wang Xu about the patient's identity: this patient was Shao Jun Xing, the son of former Vice Mayor of Yun City, Shao Pei Hong. Although Shao Pei Hong had retired, he still had a wide network in Yun City and spoiled his son greatly, warning Wang Xu to be extremely careful during treatment while handing him a copy of the medical record.

  After reviewing the medical records, Wang Xu finally understood that Shao Junxing was transferred from the Western Medicine Department of Internal Medicine, diagnosed with acute severe viral hepatitis. The patient had been hospitalized with a persistent high fever, elevated transaminases and total bilirubin, but Western medicine treatments including prednisone were ineffective, so he was sent to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.

  As they entered the ward, a couple in their sixties were sitting beside the bed. Zhang Yiming smiled and introduced them to each other. The couple was Shao Junxing's parents, Shao Peihong and his wife Bao Hongmei.

  When Zhang Yiming led a young doctor in, Shao Peihong subconsciously furrowed his brow, clearly somewhat displeased, feeling that since he had retired, the hospital doctors didn't care about him much anymore, letting such a young doctor treat his son.

  Although she was unhappy in her heart, Shao Peihong didn't show it on her face. She shook hands with Wang Xu lightly, which could be considered as a greeting.

  Wang Xu never cared about the identity of his patients when diagnosing illnesses, so he didn't mind Shao Peihong's coldness either. After exchanging greetings with him, Wang Xu turned to look at the patient lying on the bed. He saw that Shao Junxing's face was sallow and his eyes were yellowish, looking extremely weak and tired, with a swollen abdomen - all symptoms of acute jaundice in traditional Chinese medicine.

  Wang Xu examined Shao Hongxing's appearance, took his pulse, and considered the patient's persistent high fever. After a moment of contemplation, he believed it was a case of yinhuang syndrome and immediately prescribed a treatment to clear heat and detoxify, dispel cold and dampness.

  Wang Xu re-examined the prescription carefully, confirmed that there were no errors, signed his name, and had Zhao Kai prepare the medicine.

  This acute jaundice syndrome won't take effect in just one or two days. After the patient finished taking the medicine, Wang Xu reminded Zhao Kai to observe carefully and then returned to the duty room, not thinking much of it either.

  The next day, Wang Xu was going to sit in the clinic for a consultation. Before sitting in the clinic, he first checked the ward and felt that there was no problem. To be on the safe side, he specially left Zhao Kai in the duty room to observe, only then did he feel at ease to go for the consultation.

  The first day with Han Yixue on duty, Wang Xu's patients were significantly fewer than the last few days when he was on duty with Wang Chenlong. It wasn't very busy and by 5 pm in the afternoon, all the patients had been seen.

  Seeing that it was still early, Wang Xu went to the inpatient department again to check on Shao Junxing's condition and asked Zhao Kai about Shao Junxing's symptoms for the day. Feeling that there was nothing unusual, he left work with Han Yixue and went to Xiangxiang Pavilion.

  It's been a long time since he went to Xiangxiang Pavilion to see Bai Zijie due to his injury, but Han Yixue often goes there every now and then to tell him that Bai Zijie is recovering well.

  After arriving at Xiangxiang Pavilion, Wang Xu first took Bai Zijie's pulse and confirmed that Bai Zijie was recovering well, only then did he feel at ease. Bai Nongxin still personally cooked in the kitchen, stir-frying a few dishes for Wang Xu and the two of them ate while chatting together.

  After returning from Xiangxiang Pavilion, Wang returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and lay on the bed just as he was about to fall asleep when he received Zhang Yiming's phone call.

  "Wang Xu, come quickly, Shao Junxing's condition has changed." As soon as the phone connected, Zhang Yiming urgently shouted. Wang Xu listened and didn't have time to think much, he sprang up, hastily put on his clothes, and rushed to the hospital.

  When Wang Xu arrived at the ward, there were already many people standing at the door of the ward. Shao Peihong was yelling inside the ward: "Tian Minghui, do you think that just because I retired, you can fool me? Let a young and inexperienced kid treat my son's illness, and no one shows up all day. If anything happens to my son, I'll never let you off."

  "Director Shao, please calm down. Wang Xu will be here soon. Let's wait for him and ask what the situation is." Tian Minghui said with a smile in the ward room. After Shao Peihong stepped back, he held an idle position as Vice Chairman of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference, so Tian Minghui addressed him as Director Shao.

  Listening to the roar in the ward, Wang Xu slightly frowned and walked in. At this time, Zhang Yiming, Ren Hui, Tian Minghui, Chen Shaoyun and others were all inside.

  "Wang Xu, you've arrived. Take a look at what's going on. The patient's condition has suddenly worsened." Tian Minghui said hastily as soon as he saw Wang Xu enter. Having had the experience of treating that abdominal distension patient last time, Tian Minghui didn't have much worry in his heart this time.

  Wang Xu walked up to Shao Junxing, carefully examined the patient's condition, and found that the patient was unconscious, pale, and had a faint smell of feces. He slightly lifted the blanket covering Shao Junxing's body and immediately smelled a foul odor, indicating that Shao Junxing had also suffered from diarrhea.

  Gently covering the quilt, Wang Xu once again examined Shao Junxing's lips and tongue coating, finding his tongue quality dark grey, tongue coating white and thick, then took his pulse, pulse fine and weak, in his heart suddenly cried out not good.

  Through this careful examination, Wang Xu suddenly realized that he had misdiagnosed himself. This was a case of yang jaundice, and yesterday he had been misled by the patient's high fever and subconsciously diagnosed it as yin jaundice.

  However, it has only been one day since the medication was administered. Even if there was a misdiagnosis or incorrect medication, Shao Junxing should not be in such a severe condition. Judging from his symptoms and pulse, Shao Junxing is clearly at death's door, to put it bluntly, he is critically ill.

  Although it is unclear why Shao Junxing's condition deteriorated so severely, Wang Xu would not shirk responsibility. He had misdiagnosed the patient, and that was that. After a moment of contemplation, he turned around and spoke frankly to Tian Minghui: "I misdiagnosed the patient. The patient has yanghuang syndrome. Yesterday, when I first examined him, his high fever misled me into diagnosing yinhuang syndrome. It's possible that taking the cooling and diuretic medicine caused the patient's condition to worsen..."

  "What? You misdiagnosed?" Wang Xu's words were not yet finished, when Shao Peihong opened his mouth and roared in anger: "How can you be a doctor, just simply saying 'misdiagnosis' is enough?"
