854 Yellow Lump (1/2)

\”Do sign the informed consent form. After this, we will be giving you a colon cleanse.\” Ma Yanlin brought an informed consent form over and passed it to the patient, Dou Shan so that he could read it. He then asked, \”Where're your family members?\”

\”They're in the ward.\” Dou Shan was lying on his back, and he spoke a little arduously.

Ma Yanlin looked around and saw that there were still patients queueing up. \”Then, go ahead and sign the form first. I'll inform your family members later. It's just a minor surgery, anyway.\”

\”Can't I go without it? I'm just having a bit of a headache and feeling a little weak. I got caught in the rain yesterday, so I have a fever…\” Dou Shan was merely an honest farmer in Bazhaixiang, and he reared a few sows on the side so that he could make money out of the piglets they gave birth to. He did not have medical insurance, and he had no faith in hospitals either. His brain was shutting down at the sound of the word \”surgery\”.

Ma Yanlin knew what was on Dou Shan's mind just by looking at his expression.

Even though Ma Yanlin was considered an inexperienced doctor in the Ling Treatment Group, if you were to factor in his internship, he had been a doctor for six years. Along with his years as a medical student, he had been in the field of medicine for over ten years. If he were in another profession, he would be part of the backbone of the company already. But in the hospital, he was nothing but a junior resident doctor.

Dou Shan was an inexperienced patient. After he took the informed consent form, he looked like he wanted to sign it but was too afraid to.

When Ma Yanlin saw this, he had no choice but to explain, \”We're mainly cleaning your colon right now, with the purpose of looking at the condition of your colon…\”

Ma Yanlin spent some time explaining things to Dou Shan, and even though Dou Shan did not really understand anything, because of how amicable and patient Ma Yanlin was, he could feel less of a gap between them. So, he ended up signing the informed consent form.

Ma Yanlin took the informed consent form from him and turned to pass it to Qi Zao, the medical intern who was standing guard beside Ma Yanlin and seemed a little dumb. \”keep this. All informed consent forms have to be filed.\”

\”Okay.\” Qi Zao took the form and subconsciously glanced at it. She suddenly burst out laughing.

\”What's the matter?\” Ma Yanlin furrowed his eyebrows. 'How can she laugh in the patient's face?'

Qi Zao realized that she had made a mistake too. She immediately stopped laughing. While she was at it, she pointed at the emergency contact column on the form for Ma Yanlin to see.

Ma Yanlin looked at it and saw that to the right of the subheading \”relationship with the other party\”, which was under the heading \”emergency contact\”, Dou Shan had written two words—pretty good.

\”Pfft…\”

Ma Yanlin swallowed his laughter and snorted instead.

A doctor must have been in the field of medicine for ten years to be able to swallow his laughter in such a natural manner by making a sound that did not sound like laughter at all.

\”Ask him to fill in a new form.\” Ma Yanlin did not turn as he was worried that he would not be able to hold back his laughter. A doctor must have been in the field of medicine for fifteen years to be able to hold back laughter while looking at the patient's face.

Qi Zao held back her laughter so hard that her eyes turned red. She lowered her head and hummed in acknowledgment. She pretended to be rummaging for the informed consent form, but she was actually laughing to her heart's content. Only when she was done laughing did she emerge. This time, she went to look for the patient's family member so that the family member could sign the informed consent form together with the patient.

The patient ingested polyethylene glycol-electrolyte solution.

He then emptied his bowels.

His feces was sent for a pathological examination.

When all the preparations were done, Yu Yuan, who had just completed her tasks at hand, happened to pass by the examination room and saw that Ma Yanlin was preparing to carry out a colonoscopy.

Ling Ran, too, walked into the examination room at about the same time.

\”You have not gotten started yet?\” Ling Ran glanced at Ma Yanlin.

\”I'll immediately do it…\” Ma Yanlin looked to the right a little diffidently.

It was only then that Ling Ran noticed that Yu Yuan was there. He asked, \”How's the situation regarding infection control?\”

\”There are quite a lot of problems, but because Yunli Medical Company helped transport some patients away, there are fewer patients in the hospital now. I feel that right now, we should put our main focus on categorizing patients,\” Yu Yuan quickly answered.

Ling Ran nodded. The scope of infection control was specific but large, and it was something that a person would need to investigate personally before he had the right to speak. Ling Ran had no time for it right then, so he had no choice but to recognize Yu Yuan's work.

After all, the Ling Treatment Group had been executing infection control in Yun Hua Hospital for a long time, so its members were pretty experienced in it already. Yu Yuan had enough knowledge to handle the infection control of a village hospital.

Even if Ling Ran were to join Yu Yuan in her efforts, the infection control would not necessarily be better. Moreover, with the Bazhaixiang hospital branch's situation right now, the quality of infection control that could be achieved did not really depend on the doctors' skills.

It was just like the categorization of patients. If they did not receive help from Yunli Medical Company, they would not have been able to carry it out this well.

From what Ling Ran could see right then, it was considered quite a feat to be able to achieve all this in the span of one day.

\”Since Yu Yuan is here, both of you can carry out the colonoscopy together.\” Ling Ran stood aside with his hands clasped behind his back.

Internationally, colonoscopes that only needed to be operated by one person were more commonly used. However, as the Bazhaixiang hospital branch was not equipped with the newest technology, they were still using the traditional kind of colonoscopes that had to be operated by two people.

Ling Ran did not like to carry out colonoscopies, anyway. Since Yu Yuan was around, he let her do it.

Yu Yuan immediately laughed out loud, and she did not bother to put on a polite front and say no. She took the position of the chief surgeon and ordered Ma Yanlin, \”Intramuscular injection of 654-2.\”
