560 There's Something Hidden

Upon seeing Xia Wan arrive, Director Feng immediately approached her. "Miss Xia, the patient has woken up, there shouldn't be any more problems now, right?"

Xia Wan couldn't help but find this somewhat amusing.

Director Feng, after all, was the longstanding director of the military hospital. How could he ask such an unprofessional question?

Director Feng, however, was not feeling as relaxed inside.

This time, to save the patient, they had used medication in a manner not strictly according to regulations. If the patient didn't wake up, he would have a hard time explaining himself!

Not only was his position at stake, but his pension might also be in jeopardy!

Director Feng felt a deep sense of desolation but also knew that no doctor could guarantee that saving a life would be without any unforeseen complications.

Xia Wan gave Director Feng a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, Director Feng, I will do my best."

Director Feng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but after thinking it over, he decided to let it go.

Director Tang gave a few instructions to Dr. Fang, who was about to follow into the room, then watched with a worried expression as Xia Wan and Dr. Fang entered the intensive care unit one after the other.

When Xia Wan entered the ICU, Professor Zhang had already begun further examinations on Shi Yu.

Compared to the last time he had woken up, Shi Yu's eyes seemed more confused this time, staring blankly at the ceiling.

No matter what Professor Zhang asked, Shi Yu seemed not to hear and showed no reaction.

This situation made Professor Zhang, who was already anxious, even more worried.

Upon seeing Xia Wan, Professor Zhang immediately asked, "Shi Yu's condition is a bit strange. No matter how we call him, he doesn't respond."

"Should we..." Professor Zhang hesitated, then finally asked, "Should we use some other medication?"

Xia Wan raised an eyebrow, "Professor Zhang, you don't think this is a result of overmedication, do you?"

Professor Zhang was momentarily stunned, internally cursing himself.

Jolted by Xia Wan's remark, he realized he had made an incorrect assumption!

He had actually thought that the condition was due to insufficient medication!

Professor Zhang's emotions were clearly written on his face, causing even Dr. Fang to shake his head in silent lament.

He felt deeply that they might all be led astray by Xia Wan eventually!

"Please rest assured, Professor Zhang, I have considered the dosage carefully, there shouldn't be any problem," Xia Wan said calmly. "The patient's current reaction should be due to some other cause."

After saying this, Xia Wan once again reached toward Shi Yu's head.

Her hands moved over Shi Yu's head, finally pausing behind his ear.

When Xia Wan withdrew her hand, there were several spots of dark red blood on it.

The color of the bloodstains was much deeper than typical bloodstains, and they felt somewhat sticky to the touch.

"What… what is this?" Dr. Fang asked, looking at the bloodstains on Xia Wan's hand, "This shouldn't be! Since the patient has been admitted, we have carefully examined all his injuries and regularly cleaned his body. There shouldn't be any such bloodstains…"

As Dr. Fang spoke, his gaze turned to a nearby nurse, "What's going on here?"

Dr. Fang's stern tone made the nurse visibly flinch, unsure of how to respond.

Xia Wan approached the nurse, "You had already noticed this bloodstain, hadn't you?"

The nurse bowed her head slightly, "I thought... I thought it was a residue from the IV and treatment, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"You thought?" Dr. Fang's tone became even more severe, "Look at this bloodstain. Does it look like a mark left after treatment?"

"I don't know…" the nurse said, feeling wronged, "Every time I cleaned his body, there was this bloodstain, but we also checked and found no wounds."

"If the hospital and the patient's family find out there's an injury on the patient's body, it will again be our responsibility as nurses," the nurse said, becoming more indignant, her voice unconsciously rising.

"Are you saying that you feared being held responsible, so you deliberately concealed the patient's injuries?" Dr. Fang was so angry he was nearly beside himself.

"Don't you realize, your actions could delay treatment and even endanger the patient's life!" Dr. Fang hadn't expected such a situation to exist.

Their medical examinations mostly focused on what the patient reported and visible symptoms, but nurses, who cared for the patient's body daily, knew more about subtle changes in the patient's condition.

He hadn't imagined that such a situation could exist even in the ICU!freeweb novel. com
