American drama of life

Chapter 8

St. Grace's Hospital, New York.

Emergency room.

"A newcomer here today?"

Luke glanced at the new faces in a hurry and wondered.

"Well, today is the first shift of a new batch of surgical interns."

Dr. Green followed Luke's gaze and reminded, "Remember to just watch and don't say anything."

"You know me, Doctor Green."

Luke smiled at Dr. Green: "This is not the first time I have met a new person."

"Don't be so confident."

Dr. Green complained: "I feel that this year's new surgical rookies are not very good. If you see any mistakes in their practice, talk to the nurse in private or come to me in private, don't correct them in person, otherwise These rookies are all hollow-eyed, and conflicts are prone to occur."

"Ok."

Luke understood his concerns and nodded in agreement.

In the final analysis, Luke's identity is embarrassing, and he can stay as a shadow purely based on the friendship of the past two years. Most people turn a blind eye, otherwise the hospital will not allow shadow doctors who are not doctors to exist.

But once the new rookie and Luke got into trouble, Dr. Green and the others could only terminate Luke's special treatment for studying with him.

The new group of surgical interns went through groups to study in different departments, and the first shift in one group was the emergency department.

"Head trauma, open fracture of tibia and fibula, weak pulse."

Nurse Betty briefs the new rookie intern.

"Does it hurt?"

The rookie intern pressed the patient's waist: "No pain? Very good! Show me two fingers, very good, and take an X-ray below his waist."

After finishing speaking, he closed the medical record book neatly.

"Dr. Clive, there is bleeding in the ear canal. You should check your blood sugar to rule out the possibility of cerebrospinal fluid. You need to do a CT."

Nurse Betty checked and reminded.

"Hey, I know what I'm doing."

The rookie doctor Clive sneered: "Although I am just an intern, if you go to medical school and study hard for four years, then come and tell me what I should do, now I am a doctor, you are a nurse, I will go You will follow the doctor's orders, understand?"

"Okay, doctor."

Nurse Betty was choked there, and she agreed with a blank expression.

This scene, Luke, who was about to leave the hospital and go home for dinner, watched the whole process, and immediately understood that Dr. Green was Dr. Green, and the other party's worries and reminders were absolutely necessary.

"Doctor Green, there is a patient..."

Luke struggled again and again and went to Dr. Green.

Having spent two years in a hospital emergency room, he was well aware of the delicate relationship between doctors and nurses.

Doctors don't care about nurses.

Even a rookie intern who has just graduated and can be said to know nothing, has an air of superiority when facing nurses.

Last year, two new interns were fired for a fight because one of them called the other a nurse, which directly ignited anger.

Doctors are called nurses?

Too humiliating for the parties involved!
But it was the whole nurse community who was really humiliated.

So Luke knew that even if Nurse Betty's diagnosis was correct, she would definitely not say anything after that rookie intern.

What medical malpractice happens at that time has nothing to do with her execution. The unfortunate will only be the rookie intern who gave the doctor's order.

She didn't have to worry about a rookie intern who humiliated her, because of her uncertain diagnosis based on experience.

In this unspeakable state of mind, the patient is likely to become the victim.

Luke had made up his mind to try not to intervene, because the hospital had no airtight walls, and as long as he went to Dr. Green to talk about it, there would always be a risk of spreading it out.

But he really couldn't do the injustice of sitting by and watching the patient die.

"What do you think?"

After hearing this, Dr. Green hurried to the patient's ward and questioned Luke who was following him.

"The patient's leg fell like that, and the head could not have been injured. Once the cerebrospinal fluid flows out of the ear canal, it is intracranial hemorrhage."

Luke quickly followed: "There is a risk of acute subdural hematoma, and once the cerebral blood vessels burst, rapid intracranial hemorrhage can be quickly fatal."

"Mr. Michael, I'm Dr. Green."

Dr. Green walked into the ward, and after introducing himself to the patient, he began to examine the patient, and then ordered, "Take him a brain CT immediately."

"What happened? I told you I could handle it, you have to recognize your identity..."

The movement here quickly attracted the responsible rookie intern Clive. He thought it was nurse Betty who passed him and made an assertion, and came over angrily, and then saw Dr. Green, and immediately showed a harmless smile: "Doctor Green."

"You come out with me."

Dr. Green glanced at the rookie intern with a cold face, then walked out first, avoiding the patient, and began to teach the rookie intern.

The rookie intern was reprimanded with his head down like a quail, and he didn't have the momentum he had when facing the nurse before.

Luke quickly flashed when he saw this scene.

He did everything he was supposed to do, and the follow-up depends on the CT results.

However, based on what he knew about Dr. Green, most of his diagnosis was correct, which made Dr. Green, who has always been a good man, so annoyed.

Because of a little careless delay, the patient may have died.

The reason turned out to be just the ignorance and arrogance of a rookie intern.

into the night.

Mike and the others came back, and Luke had already prepared a big dinner for them.

"Congratulations, Luke!"

As soon as Kate entered the door, she understood and congratulated Luke.

"Thank you."

Luke smiled and invited them to the table.

"Unfortunately there is no wine."

After Kate sat down, he joked: "Luke, you really don't look like a young man in this regard."

"what is this."

Mike echoed: "On the first day he came to my house, he poured all the wine stored in my house down the toilet.

You know, those were all a dozen bottles of good wine that my parents just bought. At that time, he was only 15 years old, and he told us that drinking is easy to be irritable and disorderly. It is not good to drink. "

"It's actually okay to have a drink."

Kate has heard Mike tell this story more than once, knowing that Luke fled the family home because of his stepfather's tyranny after alcoholism, and couldn't help but persuade: "Don't completely deny a thing because of the unhappiness of the past, then you will be less a lot of fun.”

"Don't worry, I have long forgotten those unhappy things."

Luke smiled and said: "I really just don't like drinking. If you really want to have a drink, I'll go down and buy it for you?"

"Forget it, hurry up and enjoy the big meal, or it will be cold."

Mike greeted, cut open the steak, put it in his mouth, and then closed his eyes and enjoyed it while chewing.

Kate looked at her exaggerated boyfriend with disgust, but she was not slow at all.

Ok.

Really fragrant!
