"Her daughter doesn't want the old lady to be hospitalized," the nurse whispered to Xin Yanjun. "Last time, she was here before. They didn't even agree to do a head CT scan. Said they'd only consider it if things get more severe, otherwise the results would be useless."
How could it be useless? A test is definitely useful; why else would the doctor order it? Worried the doctor might order unnecessary tests? It can only be said that some family members may overthink and doubt after hearing too much hearsay. Perhaps last time, after the patient had a CT scan, there was no follow-up, which led this family to suspect now, afraid that the doctor is trying to scam them for money.
"Forget it, put her on cardiac monitoring," Xin Yanjun said. Right now, the priority is to control her blood pressure and heart rate to prevent a real issue like brain hemorrhage or myocardial infarction.
When relatives question everything, the doctor's hands are naturally tied.
