  Chapter 450 Calm heart, hard blood

   To be on the safe side, Lu Chen communicated with the patient's family again and signed the informed consent again.

When    was signed, the patient's daughter-in-law was hesitant.

   But after some communication with Lu Chen, she finally signed her name on the medical record.

   However, the next step of the diagnosis and treatment plan will have to wait for the patient’s son to come back tomorrow before deciding.

   Before leaving get off work, Lu Chen explained the patient's specific matters to the night shift doctor.

   "Junior brother, go, get off work." Lu Chen changed his white coat and said to Wang De, who was still sitting in the office.

  Wang Defa shook his head and said, "Senior brother, you should get off work first. I, I'll leave later."

   "What's wrong?" Lu Chen walked up to Wang Defa curiously.

   This kid is the most active after get off work, why did he suddenly change his temper today?

"Senior brother." Wang Defa whispered, "Actually, this patient is the first patient I have accepted today. Seeing that my aunt is in such pain, I want to see her later. In addition, I have to record her disease course again. have a look."

   For the first clinical interns, the first time they meet a critically ill patient, or the first time they see a dead patient, their hearts are quite shaken.

   Exposure to death, the first step in transitioning from intern to doctor.

  Lu Chen understood this feeling very well. He patted Wang Defa on the shoulder, "Okay, call me if you have something to do. I'll get off work first, so you can leave early."

   "Well, bye bye brother."

  Lu Chen nodded slightly, he didn't see the wrong person, this kid is really a talent.

  …

   After dinner, go back to the bedroom.

  Lu Chen continued to read the template of the national nature tender.

   After a while, Wang Zihao and other roommates also returned to the bedroom one after another.

   "Lu Chen, you are about to take the examination for practicing medicine. How are you doing?" Wang Zihao suddenly approached Lu Chen.

  Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, he almost forgot about being admitted to practicing medicine.

   It's not his fault, things have been too complicated recently.

   After returning from Kyoto, I was busy with the national nature tender.

   Looking at the calendar, next week seems to be the skill test for practicing doctors.

   "I haven't had time to review it yet." Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.

   "Huh?" Wang Zihao was stunned, "Lu Chen, you are really fierce, haven't you started to review yet?"

   "I just came back from Kyoto, so I don't have time to review this." Lu Chen said helplessly.

   "That's true!" Wang Zihao said, "However, you have to hurry up. Although this skill test is much simpler than the National Clinical Skills Competition, some things are different."

   "Yes." Lu Chen nodded.

   It seems that he has another task recently!

  …

eight pm.

  Lu Chen was looking at the national nature tender in his bedroom.

  Suddenly, the phone rang.

   He picked up his phone and saw that it was from Wang Defa.

   "Hey, Junior Brother."

   As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Defa's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone.

   "Senior brother, that patient is going to die this afternoon!"

  Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't respond, "Which patient?"

   "It's the patient we received in the afternoon, suspected of brain metastases from lung cancer." Wang De spoke very fast.

   "What's the matter? Speak slowly."

"Is such that……"

   After Wang Defa's brief description, Lu Chen also figured out the whole story.

   It turns out that Wang Defa went to the bedside to take a look at the patient before he was about to leave the department.

   At a glance, the problem was found. Although the patient was not drowsy, he was half lying on the bed, only panting heavily.

   At that time, her daughter-in-law was not in the ward.

  Wang Defa hurriedly called the doctor on duty.

   "Then the patient's breathing suddenly stopped, and the teacher on duty sent him to the ICU after a while." Wang Defa said with lingering fear, "I don't know how the patient's condition is now."

   "Alas." Lu Chen sighed slightly, "For patients with advanced tumors, the whole body organ failure, most likely, it is very difficult."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Defa was a little silent.

   For medical students who are just entering the clinic, it is very sad to see their patients have an accident.

  Seeing that there are so many things like this, Lu Chen was still a little unbearable.

   However, he is also more rational, reflecting on whether there are any imperfections in his handling of patients.

   For this patient, Lu Chen communicated very well and signed two informed consent forms with the patient's family.

   "By the way, Junior Brother, have you eaten yet?" Lu Chen asked.

   "Not yet." Wang Defa whispered.

   "Well, go back to the dormitory, now there is no food in the cafeteria, I'll invite you to dinner." Lu Chen said.

   "No need, brother, I'll just order takeout." Wang Defa quickly refused.

   "We have to wait for takeout." Lu Chen smiled, "We'll go to the hospital to eat soon."

  Wang Defa wanted to refuse, but Lu Chen hung up the phone.

  …

  In the small restaurant next to the hospital.

  Lu Chen ordered three dishes, and Wang Defa sat across from him embarrassedly.

   "Senior Brother, I've cost you money."

   "Hey, this is such a big deal!" Lu Chen smiled, "And the food in the hospital cafeteria is too oily and watery recently, so I also want to improve the food."

   The two chatted, and the waiter brought the food.

   Seeing that Wang Defa was still a little gloomy, Lu Chen said with relief: "Junior Brother, this is the first patient you accepted, and there will be more of this kind of thing in the future."

   "Senior brother, how did you adjust to the dead patient before?" Wang Defa said slowly.

  Lu Chen smiled, his eyes seemed to flash past events.

   That should be when he was practicing in the Cardiology Department, a patient with pulmonary heart disease declared clinical death in front of him.

  Ten minutes ago it was still alive, but in the blink of an eye, people are gone.

"Junior Brother, I might not have been as good as you at the time." Lu Chen took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, "In the first month of my clinical practice, the patient I took care of myself left. Come out of that uncomfortable feeling.”

Lu Chen paused, put down his chopsticks, looked up at Wang Defa, and said, "But after encountering more, I understand the truth. Many times, clinicians simply don't have time to grieve for patients. Because next, you need to Continue to treat other patients."

   "Faced with death, you can only be a good clinician if you maintain a calm heart."

Every word in Lu Chen's words slowly echoed in Wang Defa's mind.

   "You don't have to think so much now. With the growth of clinical experience, you will understand this matter eventually."

   "Well, thank you brother." Wang Defa said solemnly, "Thank you for telling me these things today."

  Lu Chen nodded slightly, took another piece of meat in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

   "But, Junior Brother, don't forget that although our hearts are peaceful, the blood flowing inside is hot!"
