Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Turning Point (16)

When they reached the office, the attending physician happened to be doing rounds. The nurse guided them to the doctor’s desk and asked them to wait for a moment: “Dr. Ma is doing rounds and should be back in a few minutes.”

“Okay, thank you. Don’t let us keep you.” Shu Jiao smiled in thanks.

The nurse also smiled and sat down on the other side, lowering her head to copy something.

The smile disappeared from Shu Jiao’s face, and she calmly observed the doctor’s desk. Ruan Jianguo noticed a CT picture on the desk and pointed, “That’s Mom’s.”

Shu Jiao looked over in the direction he pointed. The photo was hung up, but Shu Jiao didn’t understand medicine and couldn’t make sense of it. She glanced at it a few times, then turned and confusedly asked the nurse next to her, “Miss Nurse, how long does it usually take for your hospital’s CT scan results to come out?”

Their area was relatively underdeveloped, and education was generally limited. Just like Ruan Jianguo, if one could recognize some characters and do arithmetic, it was already quite impressive. The average person didn’t understand things about medicine at all.

So, the nurse was rather surprised when Shu Jiao could clearly identify it as a CT scan. But looking at her demeanor, she wasn’t much surprised, and she smiled while explaining: “Usually seventy-two hours, but if it’s expedited, it can be faster. Our hospital typically has set times, and after six in the evening, some departments close, so if you want a CT scan, it must be during the day.”

At this point, the nurse couldn’t help but feel a bit proud: “In the whole city, only our hospital has this equipment. It was imported by our dean last year from abroad.”

Therefore, CT scans are quite expensive, not affordable for those without money.

Of course, the most important thing is that CT scans involve significant radiation. You have to wear protective clothing to enter, and pre-scheduling several days in advance is required. All in all, the process is quite complex.

Listening to that, Ruan Jianguo thought of the picture the doctor had shown them in the morning and was about to say something about how they got the result overnight. But seeing Shu Jiao signal him with a glance, he promptly closed his mouth.

Meanwhile, the nurse continued to speak articulately. Being able to work in this hospital was also something very proud for her.

Not until Dr. Ma pushed the door open and came in did the nurse stop talking. Just then, someone called her from outside, and she went out first.

“Who are you?” Dr. Ma looked at the two standing by his desk.

“Hello doctor, I’m a relative from Ward No. 5. Ruan Jianguo is my husband.”

Dr. Ma looked at Shu Jiao in surprise upon hearing this. Shu Jiao was wearing a snow-white satin shirt, a knee-length black skirt, wedge high heels, and her hair tied into a ponytail. She was intellectual and beautiful, clearly a well-educated person, very different from Ruan Jianguo, not a compatible match at all.

When Dr. Ma came in, he was initially impressed by her appearance, and learning she’s this kind of rugged man’s wife left him feeling a bit regretful.

He nodded to Shu Jiao: “Hello, are you here to learn about the patient’s condition?”

Shu Jiao nodded.

Different fields have their own expertise, so Dr. Ma took the photo he analyzed with Ruan Jianguo in the morning and continued to explain it to Shu Jiao. By the end, his remarks were similar to before: “The patient’s condition isn’t very bad now, but early detection and early treatment are always beneficial. You should reach out to the dean; he knows a lot of experts who can help.”
