442 Intussusception (2/2)

”His mother will be arriving soon.” The child's father got even more worried.

Yu Yuan hummed in acknowledgment and said, ”The air insufflation device has to be operated together with X-ray fluoroscopy. We'll be heading to the Radiology Department now. The child's mother can join us when she arrives.”

The child's father became extremely uncomfortable when he heard the word ”X-ray”. He said in a soft voice, ”Erm… X-ray produces radiation, right? Is it a must?”

”There are two treatments for intussusception, which are air enema and surgery. If there's any further delay, surgery would be the only option.” Yu Yuan had been a chief resident for a while, and even her tone was starting to become stern.

Petite people were even scarier when they were being fierce. The child happened to cry again at that moment, and his father immediately became flustered.

”Let's make a move. The device is probably ready.” Ling Ran raised his chin and led everyone to the Radiology Department.

Soon, the child's mother dashed into the Radiology Department.

Yu Yuan, who had already received the signed informed consent form, ignored how terrified and sad the child's mother looked and immediately said, ”Intussusception is a serious condition that might cause death within twenty-four hours. Fortunately, you guys sent him over in time, and there is no need for surgical intervention. I suggest that we begin treatment right away to prevent missing out on the optimal treatment time.”

When the child's mother heard the word ”death”, she was so terrified that she started trembling. She did not even bother to hit her husband anymore and quickly asked, ”What do we do now?”

”Hold your child down. I'll administer treatment.” Yu Yuan paused for a moment and continued, ”As anesthetics are not recommended for children, I'll not be administering any. So, both of you must make sure that your child doesn't move around.”

Soon, the three-year-old was placed on the treatment table.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Yu Yuan took a rubber tube and inserted one of its ends into the child's anus. The child immediately started wailing, and his parents had to forcefully press his limbs against the table.

”I'm done.” Yu Yuan administered air enema at lightning speed. She then removed the rubber tube from the child's anus. Some feces splattered out of the anus on Yu Yuan's hand.

Satisfied with Yu Yuan's performance, Ling Ran nodded. He had heard that this was indeed what would happen. By the looks of it now, a doctor could indeed learn a lot by watching other doctors work.

”The patient must not eat eight hours after this…” Yu Yuan calmly gave medical advice as she cleaned up.

The child's mother apologized profusely and helped Yu Yuan out.

”Thank you so much, Doctor Ling.” Still dizzy from fear, Mister Niu carried his child in his arms. ”If it weren't for you, we'd be in a lot of trouble.”

While he waited for the treatment to be carried out earlier, he had already typed ”intussusception” into the Baidu search engine, and the results that came out absolutely terrified him.

”It's fine as long as your child is alright.” Ling Ran nodded, and he was in a pretty good mood as he gazed at the child's serene expression.

The only good thing about working in the Pediatrics Department was that the patients were almost always able to recover completely. This was not always the case with the Oncology Department, Thoracic Department, General Surgery Department, and other departments.

”Ling Ran.” Doctor Zhou entered the X-ray room in a leisurely manner with his hands in his pockets.

”Doctor Zhou?”

”Since I happened to bump into you, let me tell you something. I just received a call regarding a car accident victim. His liver seems to be injured. Do you want to come over and take a look?” Doctor Zhou had his back straight, and he really seemed like he just happened to pass by as he sauntered around.

Ling Ran raised his head to glance at the access cardholder of the X-ray room and as if it was the most natural thing in the world, said, ”Sure, I happen to be in the mood for a hepatectomy.”

”I knew it. I reckoned that you'd be up for the job.” Doctor Zhou immediately flashed a smile and dragged Ling Ran away from the X-ray room.

They chatted as they walked.

”The patient was a child?”

”Yup.”

”What did you cut off?”

”Nothing.”

”If nothing was cut off, why was there a whole bunch of people there?”

”Intussusception.”

”Doesn't the treatment of intussusception involve surgery? What happened? The General Surgery Department snatched the patient away?”

”It was discovered early, and air enema was enough to treat the child's condition.”

”That's so uninteresting.”

Behind them, the young patient's mother hugged her child tightly as she trembled fearfully. She said in a hushed tone, ”All doctors are so scary.”

”Yeah, kind of.” His husband could also feel a chill run down his spine.

When the young patient's mother heard her husband's voice, she became slightly more relaxed. Because of this, she also remembered that she was angry at her husband. She clutched the back of her husband's lower back with one hand and said fiercely, ”If you dare to play the swinging game with my son again, I'll castrate you, gauge your eyes out, remove your tongue, and dig your intestines out. I'll then make a slingshot using your tongue and intestines so that I can shoot your eyeballs, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and stomach out one by one. Do you understand?”
