American drama life begins with Dr. House

"Hey, Du Wei, what are you doing here? Are you looking for treatment for a patient?

This patient was sent here this morning. A homeless man found her in a drug-taking place.

I suspected a drug overdose, but the drug test came back negative, but I still have delusional symptoms.

In addition, the patient also had twitching symptoms in his wrist.

We don’t know what the disease is yet, but Dr. Wells from the oncology department wants us to take over the case.

House agreed."

Chase, who was coming to receive the patient, said while handing over the medical records.

Seeing that Du Wei was not very willing to talk, Chase shook his head and conducted a few simple tests on the patient.

"Can you feel the pain?"

"Yes, I am a human being, why can't I feel pain?"

"Hey, what a sharp-tongued patient, come and hold my hand.

Huh? Can’t hold it? Then try raising your hand above your head.”

Upon hearing this, the patient trembled all over and tried with difficulty to raise his hands above his head. However, when he raised his hands to his shoulders, the strength of his hands suddenly relaxed and his arms hung down weakly.

Then the whole body went into convulsions.

Chase noticed this immediately:

"She's having a seizure. Get some Valium."

Taking the diazepam from Du Wei, Chase injected the diazepam and said:

"Test her blood sugar."

Du Wei took the blood glucose monitor and pressed it on the patient's finger skillfully:

"Blood sugar 38."

"50% glucose, intravenous injection, immediately!"

After a short period of rescue, the patient's condition finally stabilized and he gradually regained consciousness.

Chase wiped the sweat from his head and smiled helplessly at Du Wei:

"Looks like another tough case."

But Chase still didn't get a reply from Du Wei. He felt something was wrong and said with some doubts:

"What's going on? Why are you in such a low mood today? Is it because of Peter?

I heard that he has been targeting you, so it is a good thing for you that he is gone."

Du Wei let out a long sigh and motioned Chase with his eyes to come outside and talk.

After Chase closed the ward door, Du Wei said in a complicated tone:

"I think I know what's wrong with her."

Chase raised his eyebrows, knowing that the patient should be happy about his symptoms, but Du Wei didn't act like he was happy.

"kindness?"

Du Wei added in a serious tone:

"Rabies, already active rabies."

"What?!"

Chase's sudden increase in voice caused people nearby to look sideways, and Chase realized that he had just lost his composure.

He lowered his voice and whispered:

"This is not nonsense. If rabies has already occurred, the fatality rate can be said to be 100%.

In the past twenty years, there have been no more than ten such cases."

To be honest, Du Wei didn't want to either. He came here to save people, not to sentence them to death.

But according to current medical conditions, rabies is an incurable disease!

In other words, no matter how hard they try, the patient lying inside will die within 3-6 days.

"Did you notice those bruises on her body?

From my experience, it looks like a bat bite mark.

You also said that she is a homeless vagabond.

If people who have homes are bitten by animals, they will go to the hospital to get rabies vaccination.

Homeless people are unaware of this, and without relatives to care for them, they cannot receive any medical assistance.

Let's take her saliva for testing and we'll know the results soon."

After listening to Du Wei's words, Chase also fell silent.

No matter when, it is not easy to face the death of a patient calmly.

But what needs to be done still needs to be done.

Chase followed the instructions and used a cotton swab to take the patient's oral saliva and brought it back to the laboratory.

Then he watched Cameron's operation nervously, expecting something to go wrong.

After hearing this, House came here quickly. He glanced at Cameron who was doing the operation and asked Duwei:

"How sure are you?"

"Eight or nine, in addition to the bite marks on her body, she is also very sensitive to light sources, and her pharyngeal muscles will spasm when she hears the sound of water.

Moreover, when I checked the case just now, I found that she was still talking nonsense, and she was obviously hallucinating.

Considering that homeless people like to live in dark places, it is likely that there are bats.

And bats are one of the vectors of rabies."

House nodded in agreement with Dewey's reasoning.

Then he limped over to Cameron and looked at the computer monitor.

I saw that the peaks of the spectrum output by the detector were quickly matched.

Absolutely rabies.

Looking at the final confirmation results, Chase also understood the reason why Du Wei was depressed.

For a trainee doctor, the psychological pressure of learning to give up on a patient is too much.

But it stands to reason that Du Wei should be used to seeing life and death on the battlefield.

No matter what, Chase patted Duwei on the shoulder and comforted:

"This is not your fault. As long as there is a chance of cure, we will definitely try to save her."

House also sighed, and then said:

"Isolate her alone, close the curtains to avoid external light and sound irritation.

Put a restraint on her to prevent her from violently injuring others.

Try treatment with alpha interferon, vidarabine, and high-dose human antirabies immune globulin.

At this point, we can only do our best and listen to fate."

After finishing speaking, House shook his head and left here.

Even if he is House, there is nothing he can do about rabies.

There was also a depressing atmosphere in the laboratory.

Du Wei's face was filled with sadness. Today's patient was suffering from rabies, so his life today would be in vain.

Just when Du Wei wanted to go to the emergency room to see if there was any chance of admitting another patient, a nurse suddenly sent a notice from Dean Cady.

Dean Cady asked all doctors who were free to go to the conference room.

Du Wei realized that something unusual had happened, otherwise he would not have suddenly summoned all available doctors to the conference room.

On the way to the conference room, Chase quietly approached Duwei and talked about the gossip he had heard.

"I heard that the hospital had received a very large donation from an individual, and Cady decided to make him chairman.

I don’t know if the new chairman is easy to talk to.”

Du Wei's expression changed slightly when he heard the news, and he instantly understood what had happened.

Simply put, this hospital has been eroded by capitalism.

"Hey, capitalism is all about profit, do you think he will be easy to talk to?

Salaries, benefits, and benefits are bound to be cut, and there may even be layoffs.

If Dean Cady really did this, I can only say that she is a little short-sighted.

This hospital will not end well."

Chase was stunned for a moment:

"No, I heard that he wants to invest in cancer research to benefit mankind.

He probably won’t interfere too much in the original affairs of the hospital.”

Du Wei smiled and stopped talking, then opened the door of the conference room and chose the most inconspicuous corner to stand.

As a trainee doctor, he has the lowest status in the conference room and naturally has no seat.

Those who have seats are directors of various departments and members of the diagnostic department.

From this we can see the importance of the diagnostic department in this hospital.

Next to Dean Cady, who was sitting in the main seat, there was a fat black man who seemed to weigh at least 300 pounds sitting side by side with her.

It's like this guy shoehorned himself into a suit that didn't fit him so well that he couldn't even button it.

This strange outfit makes people look awkward.

It's like a person who doesn't conform to the trend and insists on being promoted to the trendy group by dressing up.

When Du Wei looked at the other party, Du Wei also noticed that the other party was looking at him.

It's really strange, among so many people here, this guy didn't look at his future subordinates, but instead found him standing in the crowd?

Could it be that I have some special relationship with this fat black man?

But Du Wei was very sure that he had never seen this fat black man before today.

If he had seen it, Du Wei would definitely be impressed.

After all, guys with this kind of body type are not common on the street.

While Du Wei was thinking secretly, Dean Cady glanced around the conference room. After seeing that almost everyone had arrived, he stood up and said:

"Today something happened that will affect the future development of our hospital.

An investor has injected US$100 million into our hospital!

In the past, few individual donations could have such an impact on an institution as large and complex as a hospital.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this huge donation, that is, the donor will become the chairman.

I think it's a reasonable request, and he has the right to know how we use his $100 million.

Now welcome our new Chairman, Edward Vogler."

Cady took the lead in applauding, and everyone in the conference room also applauded in a dignified manner.

Edward also stood up from his inappropriate seat.

I have to say that a person with a huge body is really quite imposing when he stands up.

The conference room also fell silent.

Then Edward talked about his successful investment experience when he was young, and also talked about his plans and other expectations.

In short, Du Wei fell asleep after listening to it. To be honest, this kind of speech with no highlights and no passion at all must be very good as a treatment for insomnia.

Just when Du Wei's eyelids were heavy and he was about to fight, Edward suddenly raised his voice and said emphatically:

“...So we want to build our hospital into the world’s top hospital, no one else!

Under this goal, I want all of us to work together!

From now on, everything will be very different!

I announce that everyone’s performance rewards will be increased by 50%!

But corresponding to the reward is that no slackers are allowed in my hospital!

If so, then I will report it to the medical committee and fire him so that he will not be able to go to other hospitals to harm other people for the rest of his life!"

After finishing his powerful words, Du Wei immediately felt a burning gaze looking at him.

Du Wei's sleepiness was instantly driven away.

Good guy, is this Edward here for you?

Du Wei frowned and began to recall where he had offended his father, the hospital's financial backer.

After much thought, Duwei could only think of two candidates, Furman and Pitt.

Furman, who walked away in despair, obviously did not have such huge energy to know the investor who could invest $100 million at will.

Then it can only be Pete who has been working in the Continental Hotel for many years.

So, does the fat black man named Edward in front of me have something to do with the Continental Hotel? Or... the high table?

Du Wei will never forget that there are twelve seats on the High Table, and the Bloody Hand Faction is just one of them.

The guy in front of me without a tattoo on the back of his hand is obviously from another sect.

I just don’t know how far this guy’s relationship with Pete is, and how much revenge he can achieve for Pete?

In short, Du Wei understood that he had one more trouble.

While Du Wei was thinking, lively applause erupted in the conference room.

At present, they don't understand the character of the new chairman, but the 50% increase in performance rewards has really hit everyone's heart.

For the sake of money, at least today they enthusiastically support the new chairman.

As for what the lazy people said in the end, no one cared.

In their eyes, this Edward is more like his father who is a stupid moneymaker and has a lot of money, rather than a capital tycoon who is ruthless and has a lot of money.

After the meeting, Cady suddenly stopped Chase and Duwei.

Then he gave them a cautious look, then turned to introduce Edward:

"This is Chase, the youngest all-around doctor in our hospital, and next to him is Du Wei, an intern who has been highly praised by many doctors.

Both of them are doctors with very good comprehensive abilities, and they were the ones who took over the emergency room of the homeless man in the morning."

Edward nodded. In the absence of outsiders, the smile on his face that he had just given during his speech was gone.

This is the true face of capitalists.

His kindness, his smile, and his warmth are all pretending to be seen by most people.

But now, in this office where he has absolute say, he no longer needs to pretend.

Edward directly questioned Duwei and Chase in a condescending tone:

"I heard that the homeless man can't even afford the medical fees, but you are giving her expensive medical drugs?

Since her condition is stable now, why don't you drive her away?

We have provided emergency treatment to her and fulfilled our obligations. Subsequent rehabilitation treatment is not covered by the Emergency Medical Treatment Act.

What's more, I understand that these homeless people just want to pretend to be sick and get a few free lunches in the hospital.

You two, kick her out now!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Chase's face suddenly changed, but even Cady's face didn't look good.

But Edward didn't care about this. As he spoke, he opened the patient's case on the computer.

Then his eyebrows stood up.

"An attack of rabies? With all due respect, even if I don't know much about medicine, is it necessary to treat this disease again?

She is already dead! What kind of alpha interferon, vidarabine and high-dose human anti-rabies immune globulin are you giving her?

Are you really doctors? Do you know the common sense that I know?

Or do you just not care who pays for these drugs?

You can't do this, and you will never be able to make the hospital bigger and stronger.

Who made the diagnosis? House? Who is he? Get him here!"

Kadi glanced at the two of them and signaled to stop talking. She forced a smile and said:

"Dr. House should be in the clinic at this time.

Regarding this patient, I think that for humanitarian reasons, we should try our best to save her.

What if a miracle happens?"

Edward sneered:

"There won't be a miracle. Aren't you going to fool her with saline solution?

What does a homeless man know about the difference between alpha interferon and saline?

Even intern doctors may not understand it, Du Wei, do you understand this?"

Seeing Edward calling him, Du Wei chuckled:

"If you suspect that I have falsified my academic qualifications, you can report it to the disciplinary committee.

But please don’t insult me ​​with such imbecile questions.”

Edward was obviously dissatisfied with Duwei's slight rebuttal. He looked at Cady:

"Are all the interns in your hospital like this? They have no manners at all.

He didn't even want to call me Chairman before talking to me!

Or is it that their diagnostic department is so lax?

That House is the director of the diagnostic department, right? He's in the outpatient department now? Well, I'd like to see what kind of person he is.

It’s said that what kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, hum.”

Edward stood up from the boss's chair and glanced at Duwei demonstratively.

His purpose is very clear, he just wants to use the topic to his advantage.

First, use the situation of a homeless case to severely reprimand the doctors in the diagnostic department to frustrate their self-esteem.

Then he used Duwei's rude excuse to cause trouble for House.

He already knew House's character clearly.

Now I'm just pretending not to know.

According to the information sent by Peter before, House at this time must be thinking of ways to escape from the clinic and hide in some corner to fish.

So he just used this as an excuse to fire House first. In this case, Du Wei would have no protection.

At that time, Du Wei will be at the mercy of others, and he can slowly concoct it.

This can be regarded as repaying Peter's favor.

But this was a good plan that killed two birds with one stone, but it was a pity that Peter did not have the chance to see his wonderful operation.

Edward simply ignored Cady's words that kept stopping him and strode towards the clinic.

Cady, who wanted to continue to block Edward, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Because Edward pointed at a guy in a transparent office who put his feet on the desk and kept playing with a yo-yo and asked:

"who's that person?"

Cady, who was being questioned, could only bite the bullet and try to muddle through when he saw House's fishy behavior:

"One of our many doctors."

But obviously Edward was not prepared to let him go like this:

"Oh? Don't doctors all wear white coats? Why doesn't he wear one?"

Cady continued, while trying not to reveal House's identity:

"There's something special about him."

Edward narrowed his eyes, of course he knew this person was House.

He just wants to see how long Cady next to you will try to fool him.

"Oh? Is there anything special about him?"

Cady thought she had succeeded in making Edward forget to ask about his name. She took a breath and said:

"He is our most outstanding talent, so he has a bit of a weird temper, but he can solve many difficult and complicated diseases for us.

So this can be regarded as preferential treatment for him."

"Oh, so he is the House who brought out rude guys like Duwei, right?

It looks like what I expected, House is as lazy as I imagined.

My hospital does not want such a lazy doctor, I will summon the board of directors to fire him!"
