Chapter 590: Is it Lung Cancer?
Although Dr. Jia thought Ge Dongxu's diagnosis was very likely true, deep down, he still harbored some hope for luck and doubt.
After all, lung cancer, being invisible and intangible, couldn't necessarily be diagnosed definitively even with modern instruments. So, for Dr. Jia to fully believe just based on what Ge Dongxu said was impossible.
Even though Ge Dongxu had just promised to treat him, Dr. Jia would have definitely gone for an X-ray afterwards.
Now that Ge Dongxu refused to treat him, his urgency to seek confirmation grew even stronger.
Dr. Jia was the deputy chief physician at the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and had good connections there. Although it was still the lunch break, at Dr. Jia's request, the radiology department immediately arranged for someone and equipment to administer a chest CT scan for him.
Ordinary patients needed to schedule an appointment and queue for a CT scan, and usually, they would wait half a day or even a full day for results. But Dr. Jia, being the deputy chief of the hospital, naturally didn't need to wait that long.
"How does it look, Dr. Zhao?" After the CT scan, Dr. Jia didn't leave but went directly to ask the radiologist who was in charge of the test.
"Well…" Dr. Zhao's expression was somewhat hesitant and troubled, his gaze toward Dr. Jia carrying a hint of pity.
"Well what? Is there a problem? Is it lung cancer?" Seeing Dr. Zhao's hesitating expression, Dr. Jia's heart involuntarily began to beat faster, and his face instantly turned pale.
"At the moment, we can't be certain. From the CT, your left lower lobe bronchus is narrowed, and there is a soft tissue mass nearby. The main pulmonary artery window and the lymph nodes beside the trachea are enlarged… There's a certain chance it's left central lung cancer, but we still need a pulmonary specialist to take a look and see if further tests are necessary for a definite diagnosis," Dr. Zhao hesitated but then spoke the truth after seeing Dr. Jia mention lung cancer.
"That must be it! It definitely is!" Dr. Jia snatched the films from Dr. Zhao's hands, muttering to himself.
"We can't say that for sure. I can only say there is a possibility from the CT. It's still necessary to have a pulmonary specialist take a look and perform further tests. Dr. Jia, you're a doctor—please don't lose your composure," Dr. Zhao said, seeing that Dr. Jia was clearly not in his normal state and quickly tried to console him.
"You don't understand, you don't understand! This is lung cancer, it is lung cancer!" Dr. Jia shook his head and then walked away, appearing utterly distraught.
Dr. Zhao watched Dr. Jia's distraught figure and couldn't help but shake his head, feeling very emotional.
As a doctor, having seen countless patients' separations from life and death, one becomes gradually numb, but how many can remain indifferent when it comes to themselves?
Dr. Jia did not go to seek a pulmonary specialist but instead returned to the internal medicine conference room.
Dr. Zhao thought Dr. Jia was just not able to handle the shock when he muttered that it definitely was lung cancer, but Dr. Jia himself knew all too well that coincidences like this don't exist in the world.
In the conference room, Ge Dongxu was already sitting back in the leadership seat.
His eyes swept over the expressions of the gathered doctors.
At this moment, many doctors lacked even the courage to meet Ge Dongxu's gaze and lowered their heads under his scrutiny, filled with regret, including those head doctors who initially did not support Ge Dongxu.
Only doctors like He Duanrui and those who supported Ge Dongxu had faces filled with anticipation and excitement.
No matter what Dr. Jia's examination results were, everything Ge Dongxu had demonstrated was enough to prove that he was a true miracle doctor, a real marvel!
To have the opportunity to learn medicine from him in this lifetime was definitely a tremendous fortune.
"I have spoken my bold words, and I have already shown what I can do. I think it's time to conclude this," Ge Dongxu's gaze swept over everyone, finally resting on Chang Yufeng and Lin Wenhong.
Facing Ge Dongxu's fierce gaze and recalling the terrifying experience of the invisible force grabbing their necks and lifting them into the air, Lin Wenhong and Chang Yufeng felt ice-cold in their limbs, pale-faced, lips trembling, they stammered, "What, what do you want to do?"
"Chang Yufeng, let's first discuss our issues. Just because you were pursuing Professor Wu, and I had a meal with Professor Wu, you had to be against me, deliberately targeting me. Do you realize, if I were just a regular intern, because of your actions, my life could very likely have been destroyed by you?" Ge Dongxu's face became stern as he spoke.
"I'm sorry! I, I…" Chang Yufeng was trembling, sweating profusely.
"You, Chang Yufeng, you are utterly disgraceful!" At this moment, people like Professor Wang finally understood why Chang Yufeng had been targeting Ge Dongxu in every possible way, thus they pointed at him, shaking their heads repeatedly.
"Now let's talk about what you did to Lin Wenhong. Last Friday, why did you insist on keeping the intern, Lv Qi, behind? Can you tell me honestly what it was for?" Ge Dongxu, ignoring people like Professor Wang and Chang Yufeng, turned towards Lin Wenhong, his face scornful as he spoke.
"I... I was planning to assign some intern duties to Lv Qi," Lin Wenhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stammering as he spoke.
"Since that's the case, can you tell everyone why, just because I said I would wait at the door to walk with Lv Qi, you turned against me, saying you were no longer prepared to supervise this intern?" Ge Dongxu sneered.
"I... I…" Lin Wenhong stammered for a long time, unable to speak.
If it were someone else, he could have easily explained away, but facing Ge Dongxu, he was already scared witless, how could he dare to make up lies with his eyes open?
Seeing Lin Wenhong in this state and recalling some rumors about Lin Wenhong's improper conduct at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, as well as his previous actions with Chang Yufeng to attack and slander Ge Dongxu, how could the people in the conference room not understand what was happening!
Everyone looked at him with contempt, especially those doctors who had been influenced by them to jeer along; thinking about the great opportunity they had missed, some even wanted to rush up and kick him hard.
President Feng and Professor Tang's faces were ashen.
Neither President Feng nor Professor Tang knew the detailed reasons behind these incidents. They had previously thought it was just their prejudice, but now they realized what was actually happening, and you can imagine how furious they felt.
"Good, very good! One acts out of petty jealousy and a grudge, another becomes furiously embarrassed when his shady dealings are thwarted. With such character, do you even deserve to be doctors? Can you wholeheartedly treat your patients?" President Feng, his face ashen, pointed at the two and demanded.
"And you all? What about you? Did Director Ge offend you? Did he disrespect you in any way that you needed to attack and slander him even before I announced him as the visiting physician of the internal medicine department of traditional medicine? Tell me!" President Feng slammed the table fiercely, and shouted angrily.
