Chapter 1216 A manic patient possessed by evil spirits?
The emergency department is located on the right side of the hall. You can see the nurses' station as soon as you enter the door. It is already crowded here.
Li Xiangnan walked deeper into the room under the guidance of the new nurse, observing the patients' treatment situation in the emergency department along the way.
"Is Dr. Lei here?"
"Doctor Lei is performing surgery, and it should be finished soon. Doctor Fang, the attending physician of the patient Jiang San, has just gone out for a consultation! There are also three doctors in the department: Gong Pingwei, the ambulance doctor on standby, and Zeng Xiaoqiang and Tao Yongqin, the doctors on duty!" The nurse quickly told Li Xiangnan about the relevant personnel situation.
Today is the opening day of Nianwei’s new hospital. All staff are on duty 24 hours a day, and the three newly recruited doctors are also on standby.
At this moment, Lei Jin and Fang Yu were busy, while Zeng Xiaoqiang and Tao Yongqin were already receiving emergency patients.
Li Xiangnan passed by two offices and took a look. Even Gong Pingwei was waiting next to He Qinglu, who was responsible for answering emergency calls.
"Call the head nurse!"
"Yes!"
When we were about to reach the emergency inpatient area, Tong Xiaoshuang, the head nurse of the emergency department, rushed over in a hurry.
"Dean, are you looking for me?"
"Well, let's go see Jiang San first!" Li Xiangnan said, and then immediately instructed the nurse who had led the way, "Go to Dr. Fang's office and get Jiang San's medical records!"
"Yes!" The little nurse hurried away.
Li Xiangnan looked up at the ward number, stepped in, and asked while rolling up his sleeves, "What disease does Doctor Fang think Jiang San has?"
"Doctor Fang suspects that Jiang San has rabies!" Tong Xiaoshuang answered honestly.
"Rabies?" Li Xiangnan was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "He just suspected it? Not confirmed it?"
"Yes, after Jiang San was hospitalized, Dr. Fang, Dr. Lei, and Dr. Wang all discussed his condition, but they couldn't confirm it! So they kept Jiang San in the emergency department!"
Hearing this, Li Xiangnan's eyes revealed a solemn look.
The normal reception process of the emergency department is as follows.
The patient will be seen first by the emergency doctor. If the patient's condition is properly treated at that time, the patient can be allowed to leave directly.
If the patient's condition is complicated and the emergency doctor is unable to handle it immediately, for example, internal or external medicine patients need hospitalization for observation, or need continuous treatment, they can be recommended to the relevant department for triage and division.
Under normal circumstances, there are basically no patients who stay in the inpatient area of the emergency department for a particularly long time.
This place is only used for patients receiving infusion or undergoing emergency surgery to have a short rest.
Patients with complicated conditions have already been transferred to other departments!
The fact that Jiang San is still here shows that his situation is quite special.
First, either it is as Tong Xiaoshuang said just now, his specific symptoms have not been determined yet, so it is impossible to divert him to the relevant department.
Second, Jiang San's condition was too serious. The emergency department was different from other departments. They basically only had one doctor on duty every night, and most nights there was nothing to do. But the emergency department usually had more than two doctors on duty, and the number of nurses was several times more than other departments. In the face of emergencies, there was sufficient emergency response capability.
No matter how you look at it, Jiang San is more complicated than other patients.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xiangnan had an idea in his mind.
But when he really got around the privacy curtain and saw Jiang San's situation, he was still shocked.
In the corner of this empty ward, Jiang San was facing the corner with his back to the door, one hand stretched in the air, tightly grasping a cloth rope tied to the head of the bed.
His body would tremble from time to time, as if he was experiencing a silent riot.
The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and cold sweat flowed down the grooves of his spine, leaving dark marks on the waistline of his faded trousers.
My temple was throbbing, and I could clearly see the blue blood vessels protruding beneath the thin skin, like two earthworms buried that could burst at any time.
Jiang San's other hand was shaking uncontrollably, his knuckles were a deadly pale blue, and his nails plowed bloody grooves on his arm.
"He tied the rope himself!" Tong Xiaoshuang said with some fear.
Li Xiangnan gave her a puzzled look.
"He was brought here by three of his neighbors. He was screaming and struggling wildly, which scared many patients and colleagues! We gave him an injection of sedative to barely control him!"
"Later, this man was confused for about 20 hours a day, and often talked nonsense. In the old hospital, we didn't have many wards, and many patients were too scared to stay in the same ward with him! Here, there are more wards, and many patients who are receiving infusions or surgeries and their families asked to stay away from him! They all said that this man was possessed by evil spirits!"
Tong Xiaoshuang's words were similar to those of the nurse just now. It seemed that Jiang San's condition was known to everyone in the emergency department.
Li Xiangnan nodded, walked to the window, squinted his eyes and observed Jiang San's front.
Jiang San's pupils contracted from time to time in the dim light, and a strange silver light appeared at the edge of his iris, as if there were broken glass shards embedded in the surface of his eyeball.
His Adam's apple made a sandpaper-like crunching sound as it rolled up and down, and his saliva formed transparent threads around his lips.
Bang!
A fist suddenly hit the ground, scaring the two of them.
Turning his head, he found that Jiang San's neck muscles suddenly spasmed and his whole body was bent like a cooked shrimp.
The calf tendons were as tight as steel cables, and the soles of the cloth shoes made a harsh scream as they rubbed against the tile floor.
His back teeth were clenched so tightly that the blood vessels in his temples almost pierced through his skin, but he couldn't stop the whimpering that escaped from between his teeth - the sound didn't sound like a human, but more like a trapped animal clamped in a pair of pliers.
Li Xiangnan squatted on the ground, allowing the cold light outside the window to shine in.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang San's skin. He saw dense millillae on the surface, his sweat hairs were stuck into clumps by cold sweat, and he was shivering violently with chills.
Tiny beads of blood oozed from the tip of his nose, and his nostrils flared wildly with his rapid breathing, like the gills of a fish out of water.
Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
If it weren't for the fact that this person looked relatively healthy, Li Xiangnan almost thought he saw a second Ge Dongxu!
Could it be that, as Lei Jin and Fang Yu had judged, this man had rabies?
Whoosh!
Li Xiangnan suddenly reached out and pushed open the window, allowing the cold wind from outside, which was several degrees below zero, to flow into the house.
"Water, water, water, do you want some water?"
He suddenly squatted down and shouted at Jiang San.
Jiang San's head twitched and pulsated almost instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, without any response to his words.
But Li Xiangnan figured it out immediately.
"He's not rabid!"
Tong Xiaoshuang was extremely surprised. Although she had a strong mind, she was also frightened by Jiang San's symptoms. When she heard what the dean said, her heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale as she asked, "Dean, is he really possessed?"
Li Xiangnan shook his head.
"A person with rabies will be afraid of water, wind, light, and sound, but he is not like that! His physical manifestations are the same as those of a normal person. It is just a natural reaction to the outside world!"
Lei Jin, who had just finished surgery, and Fang Yu, who had hurried back, heard that Li Xiangnan had come to the emergency department and rushed in.
Hearing what Li Xiangnan said, the two looked at each other and said in surprise:
"Dean, his anxiety, irritability, hallucinations, delirium, aggressive behavior, and even self-harm, as well as what you see, his current appearance, are completely consistent with the symptoms of rabies! If it's not rabies, what disease could it be?"
Li Xiangnan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about his illness, just let him go first!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Jin, Fang Yu, Tong Xiaoshuang and the nurses around them were all overwhelmed.
Lei Jin, who had never questioned Li Xiangnan's decision, was also a little embarrassed. "Dean, Jiang San has injured several nurses in the past few days. His aggressive tendencies are quite serious!"
Nodding slightly to show that he understood, Li Xiangnan waved his hand and said, "Go call Song Zimo!"
After giving this instruction, he asked again while waiting: "When Jiang San was in the hospital, do you remember anything wrong with him?"
"Dean, this is the strangest thing!" Fang Yu took the medical record from the nurse and handed it to Li Xiangnan, "His belly was particularly big at the time!"
"abdomen?"
Hearing this, Li Xiangnan frowned.
