149: As a doctor, how dare you commit the big taboo of not following doctor's orders!
Chapter 149: As a Doctor, How Could You Commit the Blunder of Disobeying Medical Orders!
“I’ll be right there!”
As soon as he hung up the phone, Lin Yi began to put on his clothes and shoes in the living room.
“Xiao Qian, if I don’t come back tonight, you should go to bed early.”
“Hurry up, Brother. Work is important. I’m old enough to take care of myself.”
After instructing his sister, Lin Yi rushed out of the house.
Fortunately, he had already installed cameras in his new home today, so even if he was busy all night, as long as he frequently checked his phone, he could completely put his mind at ease… At 7:25 PM, five minutes after the call ended, Lin Yi ran into Director Ning’s ward, panting.
“How could the patient develop symptoms of vomiting blood? Besides the Traditional Chinese Medicine, has she received any other treatment during my absence?”
As he placed his fingers on Director Ning’s pulse, Lin Yi inquired about the specific situation.
“You are the patient’s attending physician. Without your medical orders, we would not administer any other treatment to the patient.”
“Director Ning only developed these symptoms about 10 minutes after drinking the Traditional Chinese Medicine…”
Lu Chenxi quickly described the patient’s symptoms in detail.
Following Lin Yi’s instructions, she had specifically watched Director Ning finish the Traditional Chinese Medicine before leaving the ward. Who would have thought that such a serious situation would occur just 10 minutes later?
But based on Lu Chenxi’s experience, Director Ning’s sudden change was very likely related to the Traditional Chinese Medicine she drank… “How about we do an abdominal CT to accurately determine the cause?”
Lu Chenxi cautiously offered her suggestion. After all, this was a patient Lin Yi was treating, and as a teacher, she didn’t want to interfere too much.
“Logically, such a situation shouldn’t occur! The prescription provided by the system can’t possibly be wrong!”
“The medicine was prescribed according to the individual, and Director Ning’s gastrointestinal condition was already taken into consideration. Even if the medicine was potent, it shouldn’t have damaged the patient’s stomach and intestines.”
Lin Yi muttered to himself, unable to figure out what went wrong.
According to the records in the Perfect Level Pancreas Prevention and Treatment Compendium, the prescription was almost tailored to the patient’s constitution, so there shouldn’t be a possibility that the patient couldn’t withstand the medicinal properties… “Director Ning, which specific part of your body is uncomfortable right now?”
To verify his judgment, Lin Yi began to question the patient herself.
“It feels like my entire stomach and lower abdomen are burning. It’s as if… as if I drank a mouthful of fire, not ordinary Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
“Ugh…”
Ning Yumei had just spoken a sentence when she couldn’t help but feel nauseous, and she vomited another mouthful into the plastic bag in her hand, which clearly contained bright red vomit.
[Prompt: The patient’s gastric mucosa has slight damage. Pay attention to preventing greater harm.]
The appearance of the system prompt, coupled with the pulse diagnosis, the patient’s description, and a series of symptoms from the vomit, immediately confirmed Lin Yi’s judgment.
“I’m giving a medical order. Have the patient take Bismuth Potassium Citrate Granules, Rabeprazole Sodium… immediately.”
“Director Ning, you’re experiencing symptoms of vomiting blood because the medication irritated your gastric mucosa…”
After instructing the Nurse in the ward and reassuring Director Ning, Lin Yi called Lu Chenxi back to the Doctors Office… “How is it, Lin Yi? Is Director Ning alright? How could she vomit blood in just a few minutes?”
As soon as Lin Yi and Lu Chenxi returned to the Doctors Office, Fang Xiaoran rushed in, sweating profusely, and anxiously inquired about the specific situation.
As Lin Yi’s dedicated assistant, Director Ning was also her patient.
Fearing that the patient might have a problem, after sending Old You back to the Hospital, Fang Xiaoran specifically waited for Dr. Ma to deliver the Traditional Chinese Medicine. Together with Teacher Lu, she supervised Director Ning taking the medicine before getting off work.
Unexpectedly, not long after she got into a taxi, she received an urgent call from Teacher Lu, directly telling the driver to turn around and drive back… “Could it be a problem with the medicine? When Director Ning was taking it, I smelled a strong, irritating odor.”
“It was quite difficult for Director Ning to grit her teeth and drink it.”
Fang Xiaoran looked at Lin Yi and Lu Chenxi and voiced her suspicions.
In the taxi, she had tried her best to review Director Ning’s treatment process. The only thing that could have caused the patient to be in this condition was undoubtedly the Traditional Chinese Medicine she took… “Indeed, there was a problem with the Traditional Chinese Medicine you brewed. Could it be that the doctor who dispensed the medicine was careless and got the wrong herbs?”
Lin Yi subconsciously asked and answered himself.
“A proper Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner shouldn’t make such a fundamental mistake. I’m just afraid that some careless young interns might be negligent.”
“Teacher Lu, who dispensed the medicine for you at the time, and how exactly was it brewed? Please recount it in detail.”
Only by reviewing the entire process could Lin Yi find the true cause.
“The medicine was dispensed by Ma Lin, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. He shouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.”
“As for the brewing process…”
Lu Chenxi glanced at Lin Yi guiltily, then recounted everything about Old You’s arrival, how he prevented them from brewing the medicine, and instead instructed Ma Lin to brew it in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department… “The method of brewing the medicine changed, and you didn’t tell me in advance!”
“This dose of medicine must be brewed over an open flame. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Department must have used equipment. Never mind, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you…”
Lin Yi was almost angered to death by these two Western Medicine laymen, but he couldn’t vent his frustration.
After all, in some matters, it was also his fault for not explaining clearly… “Do you have this Teacher Ma Lin’s phone number?”
Seeing Lin Yi’s anger, Lu Chenxi, without a word, immediately pulled up the number on her phone and handed it to him.
Disobeying medical orders was a major taboo for doctors, and even if Lin Yi scolded her, she had nothing to say.
The only thing Lu Chenxi hadn’t expected was that Old You would misjudge Lin Yi’s prescription, but Lu Chenxi didn’t have the guts to go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department and cause trouble for Old You… “Is this Teacher Ma Lin? I’m Lin Yi from the Emergency Department. Did you brew the medicine for the Emergency Department using a decoction machine?”
“Lin Yi?” Ma Lin, who received the call, was clearly stunned, then suddenly remembered: wasn’t this the doctor highly praised by his teacher, who wrote that prescription?
“Yes, it was brewed using a decoction machine. I personally supervised it, and there will definitely be no problems with the timing.”
“And to ensure the efficacy of the medicine, I specifically selected the highest quality medicinal materials.”
After confirming the other party’s identity, Ma Lin’s attitude became exceptionally humble, and he detailed the work he had done to the other party… “Teacher Ma, for this medicine, it’s better for the Emergency Department to brew it from now on. And please, Teacher Ma, when dispensing the medicine in the future, just choose ordinary medicinal materials.”
The other party had clearly done a good deed with good intentions, so Lin Yi couldn’t blame him, could he? To avoid future mistakes, he could only kindly remind him.
“Doctor Lin, did I do something wrong on my end?!”
Ma Lin gripped the phone and suddenly stood up, a fine layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, especially with potent prescriptions, a slight difference can lead to a huge deviation. For the other party to say this, there must have been a big problem… “Teacher Ma should know the principle of prescribing medicine according to the individual, and my prescription must be brewed over an open flame…”
“Beep, beep…”
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, cold sweat had already soaked Ma Lin’s back.
After much deliberation, he immediately called his teacher, You Changming…
