Chapter 760 - 305: Poisoned—Nothing’s Scarier Than a Doctor’s Sigh!
"Sigh..."
With a sigh, Zhang Lingchuan shook his head.
The scan results were out.
Technically, it was indeed a case of poisoning.
But the victim wasn’t the elderly woman by the bedside, it was the old man himself.
[System scan complete.]
[Patient Name: Hu Yongqiang.]
[Patient Gender: Male.]
[Patient Age: 64.]
[Patient Condition: Chest tightness, difficulty breathing, nausea, dizziness, feeling like vomiting.]
[Patient Diagnosis: Mild emphysema, oxygen poisoning.]
[System Alert: Current patient has excessive oxygen intake, resulting in oxygen poisoning, check if the oxygen delivery equipment is faulty; prolonged excessive oxygen intake can lead to life-threatening risks.]
This was the result he scanned.
"Young doctor, why are you sighing? Is there no hope for our old man?"
The elderly woman saw Zhang Lingchuan sigh.
Her heart suddenly tightened.
She became extremely tense.
After all, going to the hospital, the last thing you want is for the doctor to sigh.
"This..."
Yin Xiaoxiao’s expression became bewildered again.
It seemed like the first time she saw Dr. Xiaochuan with such a sighing expression.
"It’s not that there’s no hope, it’s just exhausting. Uncle Hu, why did you adjust the oxygen flow meter so high!"
Zhang Lingchuan pointed to the other side of the bed, next to the flow meter near Yin Xiaoxiao.
"Ah—, Uncle! Why did you turn the oxygen flow to the maximum!!"
The flow adjustment was right next to her.
Yin Xiaoxiao noticed the oxygen was set to maximum and suddenly her whole body let out a sharp cry!
Fang Yuan also instantly noticed the oxygen adjustment meter.
Actually, when he heard symptoms like headache, nausea, and wanting to vomit, he was thinking, this seemed related to oxygen poisoning.
He didn’t expect Xiaochuan to find the answer instantly.
You know, since they entered, it had only been about twenty seconds, not even half a minute.
The sharpness level was truly astonishing.
Too strong!
Really too strong!
"Since I’ve paid, shouldn’t the oxygen be based on time? Why can’t I adjust it to maximum to inhale more? Besides, your oxygen purity isn’t high. It’s just inhaling more of your impure oxygen and you get so agitated. This hospital is truly unscrupulous!"
Uncle Hu looked at Zhang Lingchuan and Yin Xiaoxiao’s agitated appearance.
With anger, he spoke.
He even scolded the hospital for being unscrupulous.
"..."
His words made the visiting Emergency Department team facepalm.
"Uncle, you currently have mild emphysema and can only receive low-flow oxygen. This high flow rate oxygen is used for comatose individuals... and it’s not that higher oxygen flow and purity are better for you. The reason you feel chest tightness, dizziness, and want to vomit is because of oxygen poisoning."
Zhang Lingchuan felt speechless.
He patiently started to explain.
The inpatient department...
Always encounters some bizarre patients. This isn’t a buffet; coming to the hospital to inhale oxygen and wanting to inhale so much you feel cheated is just absurd.
"Oxygen can cause poisoning? Young doctor, you’re not lying to me!"
Uncle Hu was stunned.
Isn’t this thing supposed to be purer, larger in quantity, better for the body?
"Dr. Xiaochuan isn’t lying to you, Uncle Hu. If you continue to inhale like this, you’ll be in serious danger, afraid you’ll end up with no life left! I’ve turned it back down for you, please don’t tamper with it!"
Yin Xiaoxiao full of frustration.
She finally understood why yesterday this old man asked about how oxygen is billed, whether it’s charged per instance or other methods, and if the oxygen purity is high along with topics regarding the amount he’s inhaling.
Then she had answered him that it was billed by time, and the oxygen purity wasn’t high, currently low-flow oxygen delivery.
She remembered the old man saying "oh" at the time.
Then he asked: why can’t the oxygen be adjusted higher?
And she replied: it’s adjusted based on the patient’s actual needs, so you can’t just randomly adjust it higher or lower, suitability is most important, and then walked with Dr. Xiaochuan.
She guessed the old man might have thought more about it upon waking this morning, feeling increasingly shortchanged and contrarian.
Since it’s billed by time, he directly turned the flow to maximum.
But this isn’t something to bargain hunt.
The more he bargains, the better for himself.
In reality, this is similar to drinking water, where the tap is set; everyone has their own flow they can drink, good gracious, you open your mouth and turn the tap on max, forcefully pouring into your stomach.
This foolish action could send you directly to King Yama.
Why say it’s this morning.
The reason is, if it had been a whole night with max flow oxygen output, the old man probably would be unable to speak, confused, comatose, or even already passed.
"I’ve told you not to mess around, look at this foolish old man nearly killing himself!"
The aunt spoke angrily to Uncle Hu at this moment.
This morning after waking up, the old man was looking at the oxygen, and one doesn’t know why he became so obsessed.
Said it wasn’t worth it.
She asked what wasn’t worth.
The other replied; saying coming to the hospital was solely for inhaling oxygen. With the same money, others receive high-purity high-flow oxygen while he receives low-purity, slow oxygen delivery. Why is that!
Then he brought out the water tap example.
Saying everyone is holding a bucket to collect water.
Paying the same amount of money.
Others fill a bucket instantly, while for him, it drips slowly, drip by drip. Saying the hospital has a black heart, he’s losing out!!
Then insisted on adjusting that oxygen switch.
She said the arrangement by the doctor is best not to be tampered with.
