Chapter 17: The Patient Has Rectal Cancer

Soon, two figures walked in.

Upon seeing them, Wu Wenxuan's expression instantly darkened, his teeth clenched in anger.

Yesterday, when he left, Li Qin had clearly promised not to spread the news about him eating feces. Yet, as soon as he left, that bastard posted a moment on social media with a picture of him eating feces.

He was utterly untrustworthy!

Not only did Li Qin post it, but Lin Nan also shared a similar post with the same photo.

The news spread rapidly, from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and now nearly half the hospital knew about it.

When he came in for duty today, many people looked at him oddly. At first, he didn't understand why until someone showed him screenshots of those two bastards’ posts. Only then did he realize the matter had gone public.

Of course, he also found out that Bai Yunxiao, the deputy director of the emergency department, had posted a similar moment with the same photo, but Bai Yunxiao was a superior, so though he was unhappy, he dared not provoke him.

Ji Guoping looked at the two suddenly appearing doctors, a bit taken aback.

At the same time, Lin Nan was secretly observing Ji Guoping.

When his parents had died in a car accident years ago, he, as a bereaved family member, had met Ji Guoping once, but the memory was too distant. If he hadn’t met him again now, he wouldn’t have remembered him at all.

Even now, upon seeing Ji Guoping again, he only had a vague recollection of his outline.

Wu Wenxuan said coldly, “What are you two doing here?”

“Nothing special,” Lin Nan said seriously. “I happened to review this gentleman’s medical records and test reports. The diagnosis was chronic colitis, but I think it’s not quite right, so I came to correct it to prevent misdiagnosis and delay treatment.”

Hearing this, Wu Wenxuan laughed angrily, “Are you saying I made a wrong diagnosis?”

Ji Guoping looked surprised and asked Lin Nan, “I don’t have chronic colitis?”

“No,” Lin Nan shook his head.

Wu Wenxuan immediately became anxious and said to Ji Guoping, “Mr. Ji, don’t listen to his nonsense. You do have chronic colitis, and as long as you take your medication on time as I prescribed, your symptoms will definitely improve.”

“I’ve been following your prescription, but I still have bloody stools,” Ji Guoping said doubtfully.

“That’s because your dosage wasn’t sufficient,” Wu Wenxuan insisted.

Li Qin glanced at him and smiled at Ji Guoping, “May I ask, after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wu, did your bloody stools improve or worsen?”

Ji Guoping’s expression grew serious. “They got worse.”

Li Qin nodded and added, “Even if the dosage was insufficient and didn’t achieve the therapeutic effect, as long as the medication is correct, some improvement would still be expected, not worsening.”

Ji Guoping nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.

He thought the same.

If the medication were truly effective, the symptoms should have eased, regardless of dosage.

So he strongly suspected he had been misdiagnosed — he didn’t have chronic colitis at all.

Wu Wenxuan wanted to explain but couldn’t bring himself to utter a word. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he felt uneasy.

Could it be that he really had made a wrong diagnosis?

No, even if he was wrong, he would never admit it!

“Doctor, how do you explain this?” Ji Guoping’s gaze fixed on Wu Wenxuan, demanding an answer.

Wu Wenxuan’s heart raced.

What could he say?

Seeing Wu Wenxuan at a loss for words, Ji Guoping’s mind cleared. He snorted coldly.

Then he looked at Lin Nan expectantly. “Doctor, you came here specially — do you know what illness I have?”

“Yes,” Lin Nan nodded. “Based on my preliminary diagnosis, you have rectal cancer.”

“Rectal… cancer?” Ji Guoping was startled.

Anyone would be shaken hearing the word “cancer.”

“You don’t need to worry too much. Your rectal cancer is in its early stage. With prompt treatment, you can basically be cured,” Lin Nan quickly reassured him.

Ji Guoping felt a little relieved upon hearing this.

But Wu Wenxuan, unwilling to accept this, said, “Just because you say it’s rectal cancer, does that make it so?”

He didn’t believe that a junior resident in the emergency department like Lin Nan could diagnose this patient’s condition.

The fact that Lin Nan managed to retrieve that ping-pong ball from a young patient yesterday was mostly due to experience, not superior medical skill.

A diagnosis like this should only be made by an attending physician or above — what was this kid anyway?

So he completely scoffed at Lin Nan’s diagnosis and refused to believe it.
