Chapter 2578: Crux of the Matter

"How many tests has the patient done?" Xie Wanying asked.

Since the patient refused to leave and insisted on being examined here, the only precaution was to do more tests to monitor any abnormalities.

Liu Li felt overwhelmed to the point of exploding.

Doctors ordering multiple tests can generally trigger suspicion from patients. In these situations, sometimes it’s not about money; it’s simply the patient’s worry that there’s something amiss with their condition.

Coincidentally, at the beginning, Mother Yaxi had a dispute with the prenatal doctor during the Down syndrome screening. What it means for an elderly expectant mother is self-evident. After finally conceiving, a mother fears most is bearing a child with Down syndrome. Mother Yaxi was highly sensitive to this because this second child was extremely important to her and her husband. Later, when further tests confirmed there were no abnormalities in the fetus, Mother Yaxi developed distrust towards the prenatal doctor.

From Mother Yaxi’s complaints, Liu Li had long perceived that the patient’s doctor friend had told the patient this: That prenatal doctor is too young, inexperienced, and timid. I already said there was nothing wrong, as you yourself said your IVF significantly reduces the risk of Down syndrome.

After hearing these words, Mother Yaxi naturally nodded in agreement: I might as well ask you instead of her.

To be honest, Xie Wanying knew that Teacher Liu Li, like Teacher Tan, might seem cool and not very talkative, but she was definitely a responsible doctor.

Ordering more tests was to be more accountable to Mother Yaxi.

But after this incident, Mother Yaxi didn’t trust the test application form prescribed by the prenatal doctor and would call her doctor friend to inquire whether they should be done.

It was said that the doctor friend advised Mother Yaxi: Most are unnecessary and just a waste of money.

"I really can’t argue with her." Liu Li admitted she wasn’t good with words and couldn’t win against the patient verbally, so she pretended to be cool, "I looked for her husband, but he trusts that doctor friend’s words as well. To this day, I don’t know who her doctor friend is; I asked her, but she refused to clarify. Later, I contacted her daughter for a talk. Has her daughter come looking for you now? Are you their doctor friend? I don’t think you are, because otherwise, you wouldn’t have proactively called me."

Whether Mother Yaxi’s doctor friend was Senior Dai or not, without asking the person involved, Xie Wanying didn’t dare to comment recklessly.

"Do you know who their doctor friend is?" Liu Li asked, very curious about which medical bigshot in the medical circle this doctor friend was.

To be honest, this doctor friend might really be an impressive medical bigshot from the circle. The problem is, there are very few medical bigshots who dare claim to know it all. Going beyond their own specialty, making decisions for others, even denying the firsthand clinical doctor recommendations, such bigshots, Liu Li seldom encountered. Disparaging young doctors like her from treating patients while not allowing patient referrals, one wonders where these young doctors are supposed to stand.

If it’s known who this doctor friend bigshot is, quickly find a way to get in contact. Kindly ask the bigshot to find another renowned doctor for the patient; Liu Li really can’t handle it anymore.

Seeing Teacher Liu Li ask about this question, Xie Wanying likewise knew the crux of the matter lay with the doctor friend. But currently with this person’s identity unknown, she could only answer: "I don’t know either, Teacher Liu."

Liu Li sighed deeply across from her.

"Teacher Liu, I’ll review her medical record and then consult with you," Xie Wanying said.

"No need to be so formal. If you notice any issues, feel free to discuss them with me anytime." Liu Li said.
