Chapter 102 - Huge Eyes (2/2)

Between the pregnant woman and her husband, it was obvious from their reactions that they were both absolutely determined to have a child. If they had never intended to do so, they would not have persisted this long.

“I…I still really want to keep it, no.” The pregnant lady managed a full sentence before once again violently vomiting.

Those words alone seemed to exhaust most of her strength; she was vomiting way too violently. In her current state, her body was curled like a giant shrimp and were it not for her baby b.u.mp, her head would have undoubtedly touched her feet.

Zheng Ren frowned at this sight as he recalled first looking upon her face earlier: seeing her huge eyes, full of life and spirit.

However, the problem was…

He glanced up toward the upper right corner of the System’s display.

As he expected, the patient’s diagnosis was similar to his initial judgement.

Zheng Ren proceeded to gently tug the edges of Chief Surgeon Su’s sleeves. He whispered to her, “Can I have a word with you, Chief Surgeon Su?”

“Sure.” Chief Surgeon Su was slightly displeased.

Since they were still undergoing room inspection and were currently dealing with a complicated patient, what could Zheng Ren, an emergency care doctor have in mind that could not be said later?

She simply glared at him.

“It’s about the patient’s condition. I have an unconventional thought in mind.” His voice was low enough for only the both of them to hear.

Su Yun simply stood behind Zheng Ren. He seemed to be thinking about something as he stared at the patient.

Chief Surgeon Su frowned and said, “Little Li, you can discuss this with the patient’s family. If they have no objections, the termination of her pregnancy can be approved.”

Some women had severe nausea during their pregnancy that did not ease up by the twelfth week. Instead, it would only grow increasingly severe throughout their entire pregnancy and leave them no choice but to terminate it

This was the same condition this patient was currently suffering.

It was the third time during the entire course of her pregnancy having symptoms of severe nausea. She was not new to this, and the severity of her extreme nausea required her to terminate her pregnancy.

Chief Surgeon Su turned around and left the room while Zheng Ren followed behind her.

The instant they left the room, she did not look back but instead went straight for her office.

“Speak now. What do you have in mind?” Chief Surgeon Su looked displeased.

Had it not been for Zheng Ren’s previous idea of an interventional embolization to save a patient suffering placental abruption, thus displaying his praiseworthy level of clinical knowledge, would a Cla.s.s Three Grade A hospital chief surgeon even listen to a single emergency care resident’s advice?

What a joke that would be.

“Chief Surgeon Su, I think we should check the patient’s thyroid function.”

“Hmm?”

“I think the patient’s thyroid function might have some sort of underlying problem. She might be suffering from Graves’ Disease,” Zheng Ren explained patiently. Chief Surgeon Su’s bad mood did not stifle his argument.

It was not life-threatening, but the agony it caused was worse than being suffocated to death.

This was a living h.e.l.l of absolute hopelessness and despair.

The sooner she was treated, the sooner this problem would be taken care of.

Zheng Ren never knew how to say things…in a polite manner.

“Graves’ disease occurs in one in twenty thousand cases.” Chief Surgeon Su contemplated in silence.

Such a rare disease was not a common conclusion to come to, since there were tens of thousands of patients with nausea during pregnancy, each with too many possible causes to list. It would be impractical to test every single patient.

There were plenty of doctors who ordered unnecessary tests and charged without reason. If these tests were carried out in order to eliminate every single possibility for the patient’s nausea, they would be sued beyond imagination.

Chief Surgeon Su grunted as she said, “Explain your reasoning.”

“The patient’s eyes were huge.”

“Good lord…” Su Yun immediately burst into uncontrollable laughter behind them.

Huge eyes; what kind of reason was this?
