Chapter 68: The Incurable and the New Chairman (5000 words)

"Hey, Du Wei, what are you doing here? Looking for a patient?

The patient had been brought in this morning, a homeless man, and she had been found in a drug-taking place.

A drug overdose is suspected, but the drug test is negative, but delusions may still be present.

In addition, the patient had twitching of the wrist.

I don't know what the condition is, but Dr. Wells in the oncology department wants us to take over the case.

House agreed. ”

Chase, who was coming to receive the patient, said as he handed over the medical records.

Seeing that Du Wei was not willing to talk, Chase shook his head and conducted a few simple tests on the patient.

"Can you feel the pain?"

"Yes, I'm human, why can't I feel pain?"

"Hey, good sharp-toothed patient, come hold my hand.

Hey? Can't hold it? Try raising your hands beyond your head. ”

The patient trembled and struggled to lift his hand over his head, but when he reached his shoulder, the patient's hand suddenly loosened and his arm hung weakly.

Then the whole body had spasms.

Chase immediately noticed this:

"She's having spasms, take Valium."

Taking the Valium handed by Du Wei, Chase said while pushing Valium:

"Take her blood sugar."

Du Wei took the blood glucose tester and expertly pressed it on the patient's finger:

"Blood sugar 38."

"50% dextrose, IV bolus, right now!"

After a short period of resuscitation, the patient's condition finally stabilized and he gradually regained consciousness.

Chase wiped the sweat on his head and smiled helplessly at Du Wei:

"It looks like another tricky case."

But Chase still didn't get a reply from Du Wei, and when he felt that something was wrong, he was a little puzzled:

"What's going on? Why are you so depressed today, is it because of Pete's business?

I've heard he's been targeting you, and it's a good thing you're gone. ”

Du Wei let out a long sigh and motioned with his eyes for Chase to go outside and speak.

After Chase closed the door of the ward, Du Weicai said in a complicated tone:

"I think I know what's wrong with her."

Chase raised his eyebrows, knowing that the patient's symptoms should be happy, but this Du Wei did not look happy.

"Huh?"

Du Wei added in a heavy tone:

"Rabies, rabies that has flares up."

"What?!"

Chase's sudden increase in volume attracted the sideways glances of people nearby, and Chase realized that he had just lost his temper.

He lowered his voice and whispered:

"This can't be nonsense, if it's a rabies outbreak that has already occurred, the fatality rate can be said to be 100 percent.

In the past two decades, there have been no more than 10 such cases. ”

To be honest, Du Wei didn't want to, he came here to save people, not to sentence people to death.

But with the current medical conditions, rabies is incurable!

In other words, no matter how hard they try, the patient lying inside will die within 3-6 days.

"Did you notice those scars on her body?

In my experience, it looks a lot like a bat bite mark.

You also said that she was a homeless homeless homeless person.

People who have a home go to the hospital for rabies vaccination if they are bitten by an animal.

Homeless people are unaware of this, and they do not have access to any medical assistance without the care of their relatives.

Take her spit and get it tested, we'll know the results soon. ”

After listening to Du Wei's words, Chase was also silent.

It is not easy to be comfortable with the death of a patient at any given time.

But what needs to be done still has to be done.

Chase used a cotton swab to take the patient's oral saliva and brought it back to the laboratory.

Then he nervously watched Cameron's operation, expecting the result to go wrong.

When House heard about it, he quickly came here, he glanced at Cameron, who was doing the operation, and asked Du Wei:

"How sure are you?"

In addition to the bite marks on her body, she is also sensitive to light sources, and her pharyngeal muscles will also have spasms when she hears the sound of water.

And when I checked the case just now, I found that she still likes to talk nonsense, and obviously has hallucinations.

Considering that the homeless people like to live in the shadows, it is likely that they have bats.

Bats are one of the vectors of rabies. ”

House nodded in agreement with Dewey's reasoning.

Then he limped over to Cameron and looked at the computer monitor.

I saw that the spectrum peaks output by the detector were quickly matched.

Rabies is unmistakable.

Looking at the final confirmation results, Chase also understood why Du Wei was depressed.

For an intern, the psychological pressure of learning to let go of a patient is too much.

However, it stands to reason that Du Wei should be accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield.

No matter what, Chase still patted Du Wei on the shoulder and comforted:

"It's not your fault, but if there's a chance of healing, we'll definitely try to save her."

House also sighed, and then spoke:

"Isolate her alone, and close the curtains to avoid irritation from outside lights and sounds.

Use restraint belts to prevent her from outbursting and hurting others.

Try treatment with alpha interferon, 'tarabine, and high doses of human anti-rabies immune globulin.

At this point, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of God. ”

With that, House shook his head and left.

There was no way to get rabies even if he was how.

There was also an oppressive atmosphere in the laboratory.

Du Wei's face was full of sadness, today's patient is a rabies attack, so his life today is in vain.

Just when Du Wei wanted to go to the emergency department to see if there was a chance to admit another patient, a nurse suddenly sent a notice from Dean Cady.

Dean Cadi told all the doctors who had free to go to the conference room.

Du Wei realized that something unusual was happening, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly summoned all the doctors who were available to the conference room.

On the way to the conference room, Chase quietly approached Dewey and talked about the gossip he had heard.

"I heard that the hospital had received a very large personal donation, and Cardi decided to make him chairman.

I don't know if the new chairman is good to speak. ”

Hearing the news, Du Wei's expression moved slightly, and he instantly understood what was happening.

To put it simply, the hospital has been eroded by capitalism.

"Hey, capitalism is profit-seeking, do you think he will be easy to talk to?

Salaries, benefits, and benefits will inevitably be cut, and even layoffs will be made.

If Dean Cady did, I can only say that she was a little short-sighted.

The end of this hospital is not going to be very good. ”

Chase was stunned for a moment:

"No, I heard that he wanted to invest in cancer research for the benefit of mankind.

I don't think I would interfere too much in the original affairs of the hospital. ”

Du Wei smiled and stopped talking, then pushed open the door of the conference room and chose the most inconspicuous corner to stand.

As an intern, he has the lowest status in the conference room, and naturally there is no seat.

There are seats for the directors of each department and everyone in the diagnostic department.

This shows the importance of the diagnostic department in this hospital.

And Dean Cady, who was sitting on the main seat, was sitting next to a black fat man who looked to be at least 300 pounds in tonnage, sitting side by side with her.

It's like this guy has shoehorned himself into an ill-fitting suit so much that he can't even button his suit.

This strange dress makes people look awkward.

It's like an unfashionable person who insists on being promoted to the trendy group by wearing clothes.

When Du Wei looked at the other party, Du Wei also noticed that the other party was looking at him.

It's really strange that out of so many people here, this guy didn't look at his future subordinates, but found him standing in the crowd?

Could it be that he has some special holiday with this black fat man?

But Du Wei was sure that he had never seen this black fat man before today.

If he had seen it, Du Wei would have been impressed.

After all, it's not common for a guy of this size to be found on the street.

Just as Du Wei was secretly thinking to himself, Dean Cadi glanced around the conference room, and after seeing that people were almost there, he stood up and said:

"Today there is an event that will affect the future development of our hospital.

An investor injected $100 million into our hospital!

In the past, few individual donations could have had such an impact on a hospital as large and complex.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this huge donation, and that is that the donor will become the chairman.

I think that's a reasonable request, and he has the right to know how we use his $100 million.

We now welcome our new Chairman, Edward Vogler. ”

Cady took the lead in applauding, and everyone in the conference room clapped their hands in shame.

Edward got up from his seat that didn't fit.

I have to say that the huge person is really a bit imposing when he stands up.

There was silence in the conference room.

Edward then talked about his successful investment experience at a young age, and also talked about his expectations such as planning.

In short, Du Wei listened to it drowsily, and this kind of speech, which had no bright spots and no passion to speak of, must be very good as a treatment for insomnia.

Just when Du Wei's eyelids were heavy and he was about to fight, he heard Edward suddenly raise his voice and say emphatically:

“…… That's why we want to make our hospital the best in the world!

Under this goal, I want all of us to work together!

From now on, everything will be very different!

I am announcing a fifty percent increase in performance rewards for all!

But the reward corresponds to the fact that I don't allow lazy people in my hospital!

If so, then I will report to the medical committee and dismiss him, so that he cannot go to another hospital for the rest of his life! ”

After saying the loud words, Du Wei immediately felt a burning gaze looking at him.

Du Wei's drowsiness was dispelled in an instant.

Good fellow, this Edward is coming for himself?

Du Wei frowned, and began to recall where he had offended the father of the hospital.

After thinking about it, Du Wei could only think of two candidates, Furman and Pete.

The gray Furman obviously does not have such a huge amount of energy, and knows the owner who can invest 100 million dollars at will.

Then it can only be Pete, who has been working in the Continental Hotel for many years.

In this way, the black fat man named Edward in front of him also has something to do with the Continental Hotel? Still is...... A raised table?

Du Wei would not forget that there were twelve seats at the high table, and the Bloody Hand was just one of them.

The guy in front of him, who didn't have a tattoo on the back of his hand, was clearly from another faction.

I just don't know how far this guy's friendship with Pete has reached, and what level of revenge can he do for Pete?

In short, Du Wei understood that he had one more trouble.

While Du Wei was thinking, there was already lively applause in the conference room.

At present, they still don't know the character of the new chairman, but the 50% increase in performance rewards has really hit everyone's hearts.

For the sake of money, at least today they are enthusiastically supporting the new chairman.

As for the rhetoric of the lazy people in the end, no one cares.

In their eyes, this Edward is more like a stupid and wealthy father, rather than a capital predator with a lot of money.

After the meeting ended, Cady suddenly stopped Chase and Dewey.

Then he gave them a cautious look before turning to Edward:

"This is the youngest all-round doctor in our hospital, Chase, and next to him is the intern Dr. Du Wei, who has been praised by many doctors.

Both of them are doctors with good overall skills, and the two of them took over the homeless man's emergency room in the morning. ”

Edward nodded, his face devoid of the smile he had just given in his speech in the absence of outsiders.

This is the real face of the capitalists.

His kindness, his smile, and his warmth are all pretended to be seen by most people.

But now, in this office where he has the absolute right to speak, there is no need for him to pretend anymore.

Edward directly questioned Dewey and Chase in a condescending tone:

"I heard that the homeless can't even pay for the consultation, but you're giving her expensive medical drugs?

Now that she is stable, why don't you drive her away?

We have already given her emergency treatment and fulfilled our obligations, and the follow-up rehabilitation is not covered by the Emergency Medical Care Act.

What's more, I know that these homeless people just want to pretend to be sick and mix a few free lunches in the hospital.

You two are going to blast her out for me now! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Chase's face changed suddenly, but even Cady's face was not very good-looking.

Edward didn't care about that, though, as he spoke, opening the case on his computer about the patient.

Then his eyebrows were raised.

"Episodes of rabies? IMHO, even if I don't know much about medicine, is there a need for retreatment?

She's dead! What other alpha interferon, cytarabine and high doses of human anti-rabies immune globulin do you give her?

Are you really doctors? What I know about common sense, you don't know?

Or do you simply not care who pays for these drugs?

You can't do this, you can't make the hospital bigger and stronger.

Who made the diagnosis? House? Who is he? Call him here! ”

Cady glanced at the two of them and motioned for them not to speak, and she reluctantly smiled:

"Dr. House at this time should be in the outpatient clinic.

For this patient, I think that out of humanitarianism, we should still try to save her as much as possible.

What if a miracle happens? ”

Edward scoffed:

"There will be no miracles, won't you fool her with saline?

A homeless man understands the difference between alpha interferon and saline.

Even interns don't necessarily understand, Du Wei, do you understand this? ”

Seeing that Edward called himself, Du Wei smiled:

"If you suspect that I am fraudulent, you can report it to the Disciplinary Committee.

But please don't insult me with such a low-witted question. ”

Edward was obviously dissatisfied with Du Wei's indifferent remarks, and he looked at Cady:

"Is this what all the interns in your college look like? No politeness at all.

He didn't even want to call me chairman before he spoke to me!

Or is their diagnostics department just this kind of loose nature?

That's the head of the diagnostics department, isn't he? Is he outpatient now? Well, I'm going to see what kind of person he is.

They all say what kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, hum. ”

Edward stood up from his boss's chair and glanced at Dewey demonstratively.

His purpose is very clear, he just wants to play on the topic.

First, use the situation of a homeless man case to severely reprimand the doctor in the diagnostics department, so that their self-esteem is frustrated.

Then use Dewey's rude excuse to trouble House.

He knew exactly what House was like.

Now it's just pretending not to know.

According to the information sent by Pete before, House at this point in time must be trying to escape the outpatient clinic and hide in a corner to fish.

So he just used this as an excuse to fire House first, so that Du Wei would have no umbrella.

At that time, Du Wei will be an existence that can be manipulated by others, and he can slowly concoct it.

This can be regarded as repaying Pete's favor.

But this good plan to kill two birds with one stone, Pete is very sorry that he didn't have the opportunity to see his wonderful operation.

Edward ignored Cady's words and strode towards the clinic.

Cady, who wanted to continue to block, suddenly stopped Edward's pace.

Because Edward pointed to a transparent office guy playing yo-yo with his feet on his desk, asked:

"Who's that guy?"

The questioned Cady could only bite the bullet when he saw the appearance of this House fishing, trying to fool the test:

"One of our many doctors."

But apparently Edward was not prepared to let him go like this:

"Oh? Don't doctors all have to wear white coats? Why didn't he wear it? ”

Cardy continued, trying not to reveal House's identity:

"He's kind of special."

Edward narrowed his eyes, of course he knew that this man was House.

He just wants to see how long Cady next to you will try to fool him.

"Oh? Is there anything special about him? ”

Thinking that success had caused Edward to forget to ask for his name, Cady exhaled lightly and said:

"He's the best talent in our class, so he has a bit of a weird temper, but he can solve a lot of problems for us.

Therefore, this can be regarded as a preferential treatment for him. ”

"Oh, so he's the one who brought out a rude guy like Dewey, right?

It seems that as I expected, House is as lazy as I imagined.

My hospital doesn't want such a lazy doctor, I'm going to call a board to fire him! ”
