Chapter 236 - The plight of those in the Chinese medical field (2/2)

After that, Zhang Fan took off his gloves, washed his hands, and then sat down as he told Wang Zipeng, “Order a colonoscopy for this patient. Tell them that it’s extremely urgent.”

Chen Yun finished putting on his pants and came over at this time, so he heard what Zhang Fan just said. Zhang Fan thus explained by saying, “Since you’re Chen Yan’s cousin, we’re helping you to get the checkup before everyone else so you don’t have to wait in line. Think of it as a benefit of being related to someone at the hospital.”

“Haha, thank you! Thanks, Director Zhang! Um, let me go to the restroom first before doing that whatever following examination. I really want to go again. Sigh!” Chen Yun was quite polite with Zhang Fan.

“Okay, go ahead!”

After the patient left, Zhang Fan ordered Wang Zipeng, “Check to make sure that he really did leave.”

When Wang Zipeng exited to follow after the patient, Zhang Fan immediately took out his cell phone and called Chen Yan. “Chen Yan, are you busy right now? If not, you should come over right now.”

Since Zhang Fan and Chen Yan had a good relationship, he had to explain things clearly to her. Chen Yan’s heart instantly skipped a beat when she heard this. As she was also in the medical field, she knew that it definitely wouldn’t be good news for Zhang Fan to ask her to come over right now. He wouldn’t have even called for any normal medical problem. If it was a slightly more serious medical problem, he would have explained over the phone. But, simply asking her to come over without explaining anything at all on the phone meant that there was an extremely serious problem1.

Those in the Chinese medical field would know this quite well. Chen Yan almost burst into tears as she thought of this. ‘I really hope that my cousin doesn’t have the worst possible scenario!’ Tears couldn’t help but start falling out of her eyes at this. Her cousin’s cute son was only a few years old! This wasn’t that she was scaring herself. It was because of her understanding of the Chinese medical field as well as Zhang Fan.

The cardiology head nurse saw that Chen Yan started crying right after receiving a phone call. The head nurse hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter?”

“My cousin was feeling unwell, so I asked Zhang Fan to give him an examination. But now, Zhang Fan is asking me to come over so he can tell me something.”

The head nurse would have been able to reassure Chen Yan if this had been any other young doctor who called her over instead. The head nurse would have said, “Have another veteran doctor check things again. Maybe it’s nothing at all.” But since Zhang Fan had performed the examination, there was nothing the cardiology head nurse could say, as Zhang Fan was already commonly known to have top-level medical skills in the hospital.

“What exactly did Doctor Zhang tell you?” This was all that the head nurse could say.

“He asked if I was busy or not, and that I should come over immediately if I’m not busy.” Chen Yan covered her mouth, but tears kept dripping down from her face.

“Why cry? Will crying be of any use? Come with me, I’ll accompany you. If I find out that this brat Zhang Fan was just trying to scare you, just watch what I’ll do to him. Let’s go.” The head nurse was just like a mother hen who protected Chen Yan as they went over to Zhang Fan’s proctology department section in outpatient services together.

This was the plight of those who worked in the medical field. They would be the first to know if their relatives came down with a serious disease. They would also feel the most pressure as they understood how serious things were, while the family member might not know. They would have to make almost all of the important decisions, thus placing all the pressure solely on them.

No matter if this was fair or not, this was simply how the Chinese medical field was!
