Chapter 2300: Chapter 2300: Stutterer
If this disease is self-recoverable, doctors need to provide sufficient evidence to justify treating the patient. Otherwise, it’s commonly referred to as possible over-medicalization.
The drawbacks of over-medicalization are well known and don’t need more elaboration.
Under certain conditions, data such as the pneumothorax line and air band width on an X-ray can directly provide doctors with medical evidence. For example, if it is found that the lung collapse is less than twenty percent, such cases are not uncommon, and doctors can try measures such as bed rest and oxygen therapy to allow the patient’s self-recovery.
Data is just data, and doctors will also make comprehensive judgments based on the patient’s clinical symptoms, not just trust machine numbers. Therefore, in clinical practice, if a patient experiences significant respiratory distress, doctors need to take measures regardless of the extent of lung collapse.
For instance, during the last case, Student Xie’s emergency intervention involved immediate pleural puncture to evacuate air, preventing the patient from experiencing asphyxia or cardiac arrest, and this was done without waiting for an X-ray, without hesitation.
Of course, this is a life-saving emergency intervention. When doctors need to perform more specific subsequent measures, such as when the patient was transferred to the hospital for further surgery, instrument examination is a must.
The current patient is not experiencing their first episode, which requires doctors to be extremely vigilant as it might become a recurrent case, possibly with underlying causes.
Student Wei Shangquan finished his rambling explanation.
Since Teacher Cao did not call for a pause, no one else interrupted.
Zhao Zhaowei and Zhang Desheng privately asked Student Pan: Does Wei have a stuttering problem?
Pan Shihua shook his head: I’ve been with him for years, never seen him stutter.
It’s strange, this student Wei isn’t unable to answer questions, so why stutter? Could it be because it’s his first time being caught by the teacher? Zhao Zhaowei and Zhang Desheng were dissatisfied because they feared that those from Guodu might think that this is the standard of Guoxie Members.
Finally finishing his answer, Wei Shangquan exhaled, trying to relax. However, whenever his eyes met the eyes of Second Brother Cao in front of him, he felt nervous to the point of his scalp tingling.
Everyone noticed: The handsome Teacher Cao seemingly doesn’t like students who try to look cool? So he was staring intently at Student Wei Shangquan?
The Immortal Brother seemed to have an odd expression when looking at Student Wei. Xie Wanying blinked. Could she have seen it wrong?
As his eyes fell again on the Hermes stethoscope exposed by Student Wei, Cao Zhao’s brows slightly raised, and he said, "Well answered."
Most people from Guodu at the scene showed expressions of dissatisfaction: What’s so well done? How can someone who stammers like this be well answered? Teacher Cao is being too polite to Guoxie’s students. It could be because it’s their first day, and Teacher Cao didn’t want to embarrass them.
Wei Shangquan took another couple of breaths.
This isn’t over yet.
A medical student from Guodu raised his hand among the crowd.
Someone wanted to speak. Cao Zhao nodded, saying, "Go ahead."
Devil Teacher here, welcoming more participation for more competitive discussion. Guoxie’s students suspected that Teacher Cao deliberately praised Student Wei to provoke the people from Guodu.
The student, a bespectacled male who volunteered to speak, said in a clear voice with full confidence, "At this patient’s age, tuberculosis needs to be ruled out."
In tertiary hospitals, tuberculosis groups centered around families are quite common, especially often seen in pediatrics.
