Chapter 314 Strange Children
Today was not a special day, but Chi's parents suddenly invited him to dinner, and he expected that they might want a favor.
"Master Xiao, please take a seat."
Father Chi did not sit behind the desk, but sat on the single sofa next to the sofa where Xiao Xiao was sitting.
"Master Xiao, I won't beat around the bush."
"I asked you to come here this time because I have something to ask of you."
Father Chi frowned, and even though he was trying to restrain himself, he still looked a bit depressed, confused, and worried.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and pretended to listen attentively, "Uncle Chi, go ahead."
"Alas, I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but I just want you to take a look so I can feel at ease."
"I've been thinking about you all the time, so I finally invited you to come over."
Father Chi expressed his feelings for a few moments before getting to the point.
"The thing is like this..."
Chi's father is the director of a tertiary hospital.
This hospital has high-quality doctors and excellent technical skills, and has always enjoyed a good reputation.
So it's always crowded.
What is even more commendable is that this hospital has not had any major medical accidents or disputes between doctors and patients.
This is the reputation of the hospital. As a member of this hospital, from the director and chief physician to the ordinary volunteer nurses and even the cleaning lady, everyone is proud of it.
However, recently, some problems have occurred in the pediatric department of this hospital.
Although not many people have discovered it yet.
It's just that the doctor noticed something was wrong and reported it.
However, as time went by, the situation, which they had not taken seriously and thought would get better soon, actually became worse.
Those who thought that the doctor who reported the case was making a big deal out of nothing shut up and began to worry.
……
Speaking of which, this is also strange.
The hospitalized child suddenly became listless for some reason and always lay in bed listlessly.
Many children are very noisy even when they are in the hospital.
The area where the pediatric ward is located is always filled with children's shouts, cries, and laughter.
However, during this period, the children were inexplicably quiet.
Even some children who used to cry and make a fuss every time they got an injection no longer cry or make a fuss when it was time for an injection.
No, it cannot be said that they did not cry or make a fuss. Those children had wrinkled faces and looked pale, and some even had dark circles under their eyes. Their limbs twitched when they were getting injections. They were obviously extremely scared, but they moved their lips and only made weak sounds like those of kittens, as if all their energy was exhausted.
The parents were very distressed.
They asked the doctor what was going on?
Some even recalled that their children's behavior was not without warning.
Starting from the past few days, the children gradually became quieter and their complexion became worse and worse. Although they had enough sleep, there was a blue-black color under their eyes due to fatigue.
The parents didn't care at first.
I just thought the child was not used to being hospitalized.
Some parents of children who have been hospitalized for several days also thought that their children were tired of staying in the hospital and that was why they were not in good condition.
Parents either comforted or made promises, but did not take their children's abnormalities seriously.
However, it was clear that the gradually worsening situation finally made them realize that something was wrong and the seriousness of the problem.
They started looking for nurses and doctors.
They began to panic.
……
Fortunately, the hospital where Chi's father worked had a good reputation, and the parents were comforted by the doctors and did not make a fuss.
However, if the children's problems are not solved, it is only a matter of time before the parents start to make trouble. The hospital takes this issue very seriously.
In fact, before the parents discovered the problem, the doctor on duty had already noticed something was wrong and reported the situation.
The hospital has also been working hard to investigate the situation.
However, until the parents realized something was wrong and went to see a doctor, the hospital was still unable to find out what was wrong with the children.
……
How come so many children, some with similar symptoms and some with completely different symptoms, all have the same symptoms?
A number of experts and chief doctors held a joint consultation but still could not find out what the problem was.
They carefully conducted a full body examination for each child, and apart from their own symptoms, they did not have any additional symptoms, and naturally had no commonalities.
So, what is going on?
Several gray-haired old doctors had deep furrows on their brows, but they couldn't figure it out.
They also asked the children.
But the kids knew nothing.
The doctors got no information.
Seeing their listless children, the parents became extremely anxious.
The hospital was extremely anxious.
Their pressure is increasing day by day.
I also have to pretend to be confident and comfort the panicked parents.
In fact, I was also very nervous and panicked.
If they knew the reasons why children behave like this, they would have a direction to work towards.
But the problem is that they can't find out anything about the children's current situation. This situation of being at a loss as to what to do is simply despairing.
……
As time went by, the doctors in the hospital were even prepared to be "criticized by everyone".
Even if they are really frustrated and aggrieved.
They clearly did nothing.
They tried their best.
The only consolation for them was that the children seemed to be just mentally depressed and did not have any other worse symptoms.
Therefore, they also hold a glimmer of hope in their hearts, that perhaps these children will inexplicably return to normal after a period of time, just like they are now inexplicably depressed.
Some doctors even couldn't help but pray devoutly.
……
Father Chi has been extremely worried about this matter recently.
He did all the tests that could be done, and he also used his connections to invite many pediatric experts to consult together, but nothing helped.
Looking at the condition of the children, he felt heavy-hearted.
Although the children are fine now, who knows if this continues will lead to irreversible consequences.
They can't leave anything to chance.
They are doctors, and rigorousness is the professional attitude.
When all conventional means failed to solve the problem, Father Chi thought of Master Xiao.
Although the children's situation is strange, it is not that strange.
They have no special symptoms, they just feel listless and have no interest in anything.
However, with nothing else to do, Father Chi placed his last hope on Master Xiao.
Even if the conditions of these children do not worsen, this alone would be a serious blow to the reputation of their hospital.
Some children were fine when they came in, but after staying in the hospital for a few days, their condition looked worse? !
What do parents think of this?
It is almost obvious to doubt the quality of doctors and develop a bad impression of their hospital.
