The next morning, Liu Banxia wasn't in great spirits either.
Last night's shift was pretty intense, with many drunken and fighting patients coming in during the second half of the night.
At least these two special groups of patients ended up being about equal, though drunken patients are easier to handle.
After breakfast, Liu Banxia went to the room of a patient with echinococcosis.
The atmosphere in the family was gloomy, as no one had expected it to be such a parasitic disease.
"Doctor, will the deworming medicine be effective?" the patient's mother asked.
"It depends, but her pancreatitis is improving," Liu Banxia said.
"You need to be mentally prepared for more tests today to see if there are more cysts in other locations. Only after a comprehensive examination can we be at ease."
"Yesterday, Doctor Xu mentioned that surgery might be needed. Is it very risky?" the patient's father asked.
