"It's an acute infection, with high fever, and the heart and lung functions are not very good. The patient has fallen into a coma, and the medication is not good!" the head nurse said quickly.

Ning Xi had a rough idea in her mind. When she arrived at the ward, Doctor Wu said hurriedly, "Doctor Ning, the patient's condition is very bad. The infection caused a persistent high fever. All indicators are not very good. His heart and lung functions are also failing. You see..."

"Have the examinations been done? Can the source of infection be determined?" Ning Xi took the pile of examination reports from his hand, flipped through them quickly, and looked at the patient on the bed.

Originally, after her previous treatment and the subsequent efforts of Dr. Wu, the patient's condition had improved greatly. As long as he was prevented from getting infected and the rejection after lung transplantation was controlled, he would be discharged from the hospital soon.

But now, looking at the patient whose face was red with fever and whose eyes were closed, as well as various instruments that were sounding alarms, her mood became heavy.

"After doing biochemical tests and bedside B-ultrasound, we can confirm that it is an infection, but we can't find out where the infection is. We can only look at the function of each organ, and it is a multi-organ infection with decreased function." Doctor Wu said quickly.

Ning Xi had already reached out and held the patient's pulse, and the situation was indeed very pessimistic.

"What about the patient's family? Have you asked them if they have been given anything to eat in the past two days? Or if they have any infectious diseases?"

Because transplant patients need to take immunosuppressants to prevent rejection, their immunity is very poor. Let alone a virus, even a small bacterial infection can be fatal!

"I've asked someone to make a phone call," said Doctor Wu.

"Let's take the patient out for a CT scan first to determine the condition of his body." Ning Xi suggested immediately.

Doctor Wu nodded and immediately asked someone to make arrangements, but before they could leave the ward, they were blocked by Mrs. Li.

"Husband, what happened to my husband? How did you treat his illness? Why did he suddenly become like this?"

"Mrs. Li, please move aside first. We need to take him for a checkup!"

"What examination? What happened to him? He was fine when I went out in the morning. How come he became like this all of a sudden? Is it you who caused it? Is it you?" Mrs. Li blocked the patient's head and shouted at the top of her lungs, refusing to give way.

All the medical staff were speechless.

Doctor Wu was already anxious, and seeing her like this, he said, "Madam Li, if you continue to block the way like this and delay the treatment, you will be responsible for it yourself!"

"What do you mean I'm responsible for it? You treated me improperly and you're trying to shirk responsibility, right? I'm telling you, if anything happens to my husband, I'll never forgive you! Where's your dean? Ask your dean to come over!"

"You!" Doctor Wu was almost furious at her unreasonableness and wanted to argue with her, but Ning Xi stopped him and said, "Don't say anything, just call the police."

When she said this, everyone was silent for a moment. Mrs. Li's eyes flashed with guilt, and then she pointed at her and said, "Okay, I knew it, I knew it was you who was deliberately taking revenge and deliberately wanted to make my husband suffer, right?

You still want to call the police to shirk responsibility! I..."

"The police will find out who is responsible. We doctors have a clear conscience, but I don't know what will happen to those people who dare to commit premeditated murder as their bedmates." Ning Xi looked at her with a cold and serious look.

Mrs. Li was shocked, and her guilty conscience became more obvious. But then she shouted even louder: "What nonsense are you talking about! Can I harm my old Li?"

But the more she did this, the more it seemed like she was trying to cover up her mistake, and it changed the way everyone looked at her.

The head nurse immediately winked at the clever young nurse nearby and quickly called the police.

Seeing that they really called the police, Mrs. Li felt even more guilty and a look of panic became obvious on her face.

"Catch her first and hand her over to the police later." Ning Xi said.

When the male nurse and several male doctors including Dr. Wu who came to help heard this, they immediately started to work.

Before Mrs. Li could run, she was pinned to the ground by them.

"Let me go, you are slandering me! I will sue you! I..." No matter how Mrs. Li shouted, Ning Xi had already supported the stretcher and quickly walked out of the ward with the patient.

When Professor Qi came back from the operation, he was shocked to learn that a murder had occurred in the department.

"Xiao Ning, what's going on? How is Mr. Li?" Professor Qi found Ning Xi's office.

Because the patient was Dr. Wu's patient, Ning Xi came back after sending him for a check-up.

Seeing Professor Qi come in with an anxious look on his face, I hurriedly poured him a glass of water.

"Professor Qi, are you done with the surgery?"

"Well, what's going on with Mr. Li and Mrs. Li over there?"

"I don't know the details, but Mr. Li suddenly had a large-scale multiple infection, and Mrs. Li was behaving abnormally, so I asked someone to call the police."

"What about the patient? How is he now?"

"The infection is quite serious. Doctor Wu has sent the patient to the ICU and is preparing to use ECMO." Ning Xi said.

Professor Qi shook his head and sighed. Having been a doctor for so many years, he had seen a lot of the ugliness of human nature, but he never expected that there would be people who directly wanted to kill people.

"No wonder, Mrs. Li insisted on replacing you as the attending physician last time. It seems that she has no intention of letting you get better." Professor Qi said.

Ning Xi didn't say anything. When she came back just now, she discussed it with the head nurse, and then she realized that Mr. Li was not a good man. When he was healthy, he did a lot of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling outside. When he was sick, he relied on his wife and children to take care of him. No wonder, last time, Dr. Jin just said a few words and made Dr. Li hate her.

I'm afraid she really thinks she is trying to steal her man.

However, there was one thing that she didn't understand: how did Mrs. Li allow Mr. Li to be infected on such a large scale?

Although Mr. Li's immunity is very poor, it is just a minor cold or bacteria, which should not cause such serious and rapid consequences.

"Xiao Ning, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Ning Xi didn't speak, Professor Qi suddenly asked.

"Nothing. By the way, Professor Qi, I have already agreed to the Si family's request."

"What? You agreed?" Professor Qi couldn't sit still after hearing that. He stood up and asked, "How did you agree? Are they trying to threaten you again?"

"No, I have to talk to Dean Ling about this." Professor Qi said indignantly.

I became more and more angry at the Si family's shamelessness.

Ning Xi hurriedly stopped him, "Professor Qi, please listen to what I have to say first."

"Okay, go ahead and don't be afraid. No matter what method they use to threaten you, as long as you are not happy, I will not let them embarrass you even if I don't work here anymore." Professor Qi said with a serious face and full of anger.

Ning Xi was very touched to receive his protection. Although Si Jianzhang had his plan behind this matter, it also satisfied her desire to study Si Jianzhang's case.

Director Yan was right when he said this before. Even if it was just to give a ray of hope to other patients, it was worth it for her to try.

Besides, she had never thought of letting Si Jianzhang go so easily. The worst that could happen was that she would cure him first, take down the hospital building, and then hand him over to the police.

The evil things he did in the past are enough to make him live behind bars until he grows old, even if he is not sentenced to death!

So, she didn't feel embarrassed at all!
