8 Qualified Doctors, Really? (2/2)
Elder Qin: ”Yes, he was previously diagnosed with abdominal migraines. Is this the same thing again? It seems a little different from his past attacks. Zhen mentioned he feels nauseous and that there's pain all over his stomach this time around not just in the middle.”
Dr. Fu Meng:”Elder Qin, it sounds like it may still be abdominal migraines; nausea and vomiting are often a symptom of this condition. I've read through the little master's medical records. He's been admitted to hospital multiple times this year. I've seen you've tried diet control such as avoiding things like citrus fruits and chocolate but there has been no change. Additionally pain relief hasn't worked. In my professional opinion I think that instead of or alongside the abdominal migraines he may be experiencing a psychogenic disease.”
The room fell into silence.
Dr. Fu Meng indicted towards one of the other doctors: ”This is my colleague Dr. Cheng Wu he is a pediatric psychiatrist. I think it would be a good idea for him to speak to the little master. ”
CEO Qin who was initially leaning with his arms folder against the wall; stepped in front of Dr. Fu.
CEO Qin: ”You're saying he has a mental health illness?”
CEO Qin stood in front of Dr. Fu and glared down at him.
Dr. Fu broke into a cold sweat. He looked away not daring to meet CEO Qin's gaze.
Dr. Cheng Wu: ”What Dr. Fu suggested could be a potential possibility. Psychogenic disease is thought to be a physically manifestation of mental stress or emotional upset. It seems to be the best fit for what the little Master has been experiencing. We have never been able to confirm an underlying organic cause for his symptoms.”
Li Xiuying had had enough.
Li Xiuying stepped forward and pointed at Dr. Fu Meng and Dr. Cheng Wu. ”You and You, are you both actually qualified doctors?”
Everyone in the room was taken aback. They all shared the same thought; Where did this dishevelled woman suddenly appear from?
Dr. Fu Meng: ”Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Dr. Cheng Wu: ”What right do you have to question our qualifications?!”
Dr. Fu Meng: ”Someone like you couldn't possibly understand the complexities of...”
Li Xiuying cut him off.
Li Xiuying's icy voice: ”Let me spell it out for you both because clearly you are both more incompetent than I initially thought. Qin Zhen may have complained about abdominal pain in the past but you have to assess this current admission with fresh eyes. No one has bothered to take a history, do an examination or check his vitals let alone arrange investigations. Neither of you have even bothered to look at Qin Zhen. So how can you say it's a psychogenic illness without checking the patient's current physical state. ”
Li Xiuying mockingly said: ”So back to my original question. Are you both actually qualified doctors?”
