Leave This To Me, Boss (Part 4 of 5)

"Yes, that's me." Old Chief Physician Pan's voice was authoritative.

"Right, right. And what do you think it is?

"Let me ask him."

Old Chief Physician Pan covered the phone receiver and turned to Zheng Ren.

"Zheng Ren, there's a 72-year-old male patient who has been transferred from the gastroenterology department to the ICU. He came in two weeks ago with bloody stools.

"The bleeding was controlled on the sixth day of admission but his condition warranted a continued stay in the ICU. At 1400 hours today, the bleeding started again. There was more blood this time and antihemorrhagic agents were ineffective. The consensus from the general surgery department was to not opt for surgery," Old Chief Physician Pan explained.

Zheng Ren knew Old Chief Physician Pan was asking for his medical opinion.

The department had decided to forgo surgery as the patient was elderly and they could not identify the bleed.
