The doctor stood by the bedside, took a flashlight from his pocket, leaned down, and pried open A Qiang's eyelids, shining the light on his pupils.
Jiang Ziyu stood opposite, her gaze shifting from the doctor's actions to the mask he wore.
"Is his condition alright?"
"Mhm."
The doctor released his hand and turned to face the monitor.
All body data was normal. The doctor reached out and adjusted the respirator.
Watching the white mist in the breathing mask on A Qiang's face become noticeably thicker, Jiang Ziyu asked in confusion, "Doctor, did you make a mistake? Has the oxygen been increased?"
The person was currently unconscious. High-quality oxygen would cause him to be unable to inhale quickly enough. It would accumulate in the mask, causing oxygen overdose and keeping him in a coma.
The doctor was clearly taken aback by Jiang Ziyu's question. He turned his head, furrowed his brows, and stared at her, "Are you a doctor?"
Jiang Ziyu shook her head, "Not a doctor, but I know a little traditional Chinese medicine."
After finishing, she walked around the foot of the bed to the doctor's side.
Learning that she understood these things, the doctor shifted from calm to visibly anxious. He accidentally brushed against a nearby button, and the emergency call rang out piercingly.
The doctor quickly pressed to stop it, but the nurse from the nursing station had already arrived.
Seeing the doctor in the room, the nurse asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I accidentally pressed it, sorry," Jiang Ziyu explained.
Hearing this, the nurse looked at the doctor with clear disbelief.
Each room was assigned a dedicated doctor and nurse. Although everyone wore masks at work, they could distinguish each other by their build and eyes.
The nurse surveyed the doctor, muttering in confusion, "That's strange, when did Doctor Hu get so tall?"
In front of the patient, she dared not press for details. Learning it was a misunderstanding, she left.
As soon as she stepped out, she encountered Doctor Hu, who was arriving.
"Doctor Hu, the doctor inside really isn't you!" the nurse exclaimed.
"Doctor?"
"Yes, the emergency call just rang, and when I ran over, I saw a doctor standing in the room. I realized it wasn't you, but I didn't dare ask."
Hearing the nurse's words, Doctor Hu walked to the outside of the ward and looked through the glass in the door at the doctor in the white coat inside.
"Perhaps the emergency bell rang just now, and another doctor happened to be passing by," Doctor Hu guessed. "By the way, how is the patient's condition?"
"It was pressed accidentally. The patient is currently in good condition and hasn't woken up yet."
"Alright, I have other consultations. Please keep an eye on the patient here."
The nurse accompanied Doctor Hu as they left.
The minor incident made Jiang Ziyu briefly forget about the adjusted respirator parameters. The doctor, after restoring everything, left after offering a few perfunctory remarks.
Before leaving, Jiang Ziyu glanced at the work badge on his chest.
[Chu Tian.]
She then looked at the tag at the foot of the bed, comparing it to the name of the attending physician, Hu Xiang.
Was the person just now not his attending physician?
Di Mingjue looked at Jiang Ziyu's serious expression and put down his work to come before her, "What's wrong? Something on your mind?"
"I just feel like the doctor just now was a bit off," Jiang Ziyu turned and poured out her suspicions to Di Mingjue.
Off?
Di Mingjue glanced at the person on the bed, "Why do you say that?"
"How could the attending physician not even understand basic medical common sense? He just made an obvious mistake, but instead of correcting it immediately, he asked me if I understood medicine," Jiang Ziyu recounted, replaying the events.
She was now even more certain that the doctor was problematic.
Jiang Ziyu looked at Di Mingjue, pushed away his hand that reached out to touch her, and said to him, "You watch here, I'll go outside and check."
"I'll go," Di Mingjue said, worried about her safety.
