Chapter Fifteen: Hemorrhagic Patients

  Hu Qiang soon arrived at Zhang Wen's clinic, saw him sitting in the clinic flipping through previous cases, and didn't even get up to greet himself. He felt a little unhappy in his heart. After humming with his nose, he walked into the clinic, slightly frowning at Zhang Wen, and asked: "Why didn't you come to work yesterday?"

  Zhang Wen-zhong had already made psychological preparations and replied, "Yesterday morning when I woke up, I suddenly felt severe heart palpitations. It must be because the continuous thunderstorms the night before stimulated my heart disease again. After taking medicine, although the situation improved a bit, I still didn't feel well, so I didn't come to work."

  Zhang Wen-zhong's heart condition was a well-known fact within the school hospital. Hu Qiang had originally wanted to use this as an excuse to dismiss Zhang Wen-zhong, but there were people in the high-level leadership of Yongcheng University who spoke up for him. Moreover, this person was someone that Hu Qiang did not want to and dared not offend. So even though he was dissatisfied, he could only let Zhang Wen-zhong continue working at the school hospital.

  Hu Qiang originally wanted to scold Zhang WenZhong, but soon thought that the person might be Zhang WenZhong's backer. Before figuring out what relationship the person had with Zhang WenZhong, he decided to treat Zhang WenZhong a bit better. However, a small punishment was still necessary, otherwise this kid would become even more arrogant in the future.

  "In the future, you can't do such undisciplined things again. No matter what reason you have for not coming to work, you must call and inform the hospital. This time, consider it a day of absenteeism, 50 yuan will be deducted from your salary next month!" Hu Qiang said sternly.

  Zhang Wen Zhong smiled faintly and replied: "Okay."

  Zhang Wen's attitude made Hu Qiang even more uncertain about his relationship with that person.

  After humming a sound, Hu Qiang walked out of Zhang Wen's clinic with his hands behind his back and chest out, going to other places for inspection.

  The work of the school doctor was easy for Zhang Wen-zhong, and the morning working hours passed quickly. After getting off work, Zhang Wen-zhong ran all the way back home. On his way home, he also bought some small dishes at a vegetable market near the residential area, and after returning home, he cooked a simple lunch by himself.

  After having lunch, Zhang Wenzhong drank another bowl of hot medicinal soup. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed and started practicing breathing exercises. He continued until it was almost time to go to work, then stopped and ran all the way to the school hospital.

  It's 5:20 pm, still ten minutes before getting off work.

  Half an hour ago, Hu Qiang hummed a tune as he drove away from the school hospital. After he left, other doctors and nurses couldn't sit still either, they all started to slip away quietly.

  At this moment, there is still a doctor staying in the school hospital, besides Zhang Wen-zhong, there is also a female doctor who has just come to work. Zhang Wen-zhong doesn't know much about this young female doctor who has just graduated, only knowing that her name is Lin Zi-man, a bespectacled and intelligent beauty. And her clinic happens to be right across from Zhang Wen-zhong's.

  Zhang Wen-zhong, sitting in the clinic, took out his wallet. After counting, there were still several hundred yuan inside. After deducting this month's necessary living expenses, there should be one or two hundred yuan left to spend.

  Zhang Wenzhong counted on his fingers and nodded, "Although the money that can be used is very little, if luck is good, it should still be possible to buy suitable jade... After all, the jade used to make amulets and magical instruments doesn't need to be too good." After some careful consideration, Zhang Wenzhong decided to go to the famous antique street on Yongcheng West Avenue in the afternoon after work to see if he could find suitable jade to make into amulets and magical instruments.

  Just as Zhang Wen was pondering what kind of talisman and ritual instrument would be most suitable for himself at present, a flurry of panicked footsteps suddenly echoed through the school infirmary. The footsteps first went up to the second floor but quickly came back down. At the same time, an anxious female voice shouted in discontent: "Where's the doctor? Where did the doctor go?"

  Zhang Wenzhong put the wallet back in his pocket, stood up and walked into the corridor. At the same time, Dr. Lin Zicong, a female doctor from across the way, also came out at this moment.

  There were six girls standing in the corridor, one of whom was being supported by the other five. The girl looked very beautiful, but her face was pale and her whole body was weak and powerless. If it weren't for the support of the girls around her, she would have probably collapsed to the ground long ago.

  "What's wrong? Is she uncomfortable?" Lin Ziman asked hastily, startled by the girl's appearance.

  "Menorrhagia." Before these girls could answer Lin Ziman's question, Zhang Wenzhong directly stated the girl's illness.

  Uterine hemorrhage, also known as metrorrhagia or dysfunctional uterine bleeding, refers to a sudden and severe vaginal bleeding in women.

  "Blood collapse?" Lin Zimeng frowned and glanced at Zhang Wenzhong, very dissatisfied with his attitude of making a diagnosis after just one glance at the patient. If there weren't other patients around, Lin Zimeng would have probably scolded Zhang Wenzhong.

  A girl with short hair said anxiously: "Zhao Linyi got her period today, but something's wrong. The bleeding won't stop and it's getting heavier..."

  "Really?! It's actually hemoptysis?!" Lin Ziman was shocked, her mouth agape and eyes wide with wonder as she stared at Zhang Wenzhong. She couldn't fathom how Zhang Wenzhong could diagnose the condition of this female student named Zhao Linyi with just one glance.

  "Bring her in." Zhang Wen Zhong instructed the five girls to bring Zhao Lin Yi into his clinic.

  "You...?" The five girls looked at Zhang Wen Zhong with some hesitation, and did not immediately follow his words. After all, such gynecological diseases are somewhat difficult to mention, let alone being treated by a male doctor. They glanced at Zhang Wen Zhong, then glanced at Lin Zi Man, and said weakly: "Or, you come and give Zhao Lin Yi an examination..."

  "Me?" Lin Ziman looked at Zhao Linyi's complexion and lip color, and knew that her symptoms of blood collapse were very serious. There was no doubt that this was excessive bleeding, and if handled improperly, it could even lead to life-threatening danger. Having just graduated not long ago, she didn't have a lot of clinical experience, and facing such a tricky case of blood collapse, she really had no confidence in her heart.

  Last night's thunderstorm and rain caused damage to the electrical circuit in our neighborhood, which is still being repaired. Wuzhi can only run out for a few streets to update here at a friend's place. Hope the electricity at home can be restored soon.
