Chapter 933 - 348: The Child Coughing Blood, Medical Staff Scalp Tingling, The Truth Is Actually This! (Part 2)

"How’s it going, doctor? What exactly did my son get stuck in his throat?"

The skinny man looked completely baffled.

"Does he often drink raw water?"

Zhang Lingchuan asked.

"Parasites? Tapeworms? Lung flukes?"

After Zhang Lingchuan said this, Wei Zixi’s mind inexplicably recalled the last case.

That was the case with Xia Yu, who was full of worms.

It started with the tapeworm breaking the national record, leading Chang Geng Hospital’s dean and medical team to take a photo with it, and a paper was later published specifically about it.

Then there was the lung fluke.

That was definitely another heavyweight contender.

After all, the lung fluke weighing over a pound, in the lung, the dean of Chang Geng Hospital mentioned it was a heavyweight challenge.

In fact, it really was a heavyweight challenge, as even back then, Dean Dong was almost overwhelmed.

However, Wei Zixi only briefly considered this possibility because, even if it were a parasitic infection, it should be in the intestines, lungs, or similar places.

It’s rare for it to reach the bronchus.

He was just curious; if that were the case, what was the significance of Zhang Shen asking about the drinking of raw water?

After all, drinking raw water should be related to parasites or the like.

Could there be a type of parasite that can inhabit the bronchus?

Wei Zixi was a bit stuck.

But he patiently waited a little longer.

After all, soon enough, President Zhang would surely explain his hypothesis.

"Yes, doctor, you’re right. This child often drinks cold water and just doesn’t like hot water!"

The skinny man nodded in response.

One has to admit.

This doctor is really quite capable.

He even knew my child doesn’t like to drink hot water.

"Your water probably isn’t tap water, is it?"

Zhang Lingchuan asked again.

"No, ours comes from the mountains, unlike the city with tap water; we all drink spring water."

The man was named Qiang Jiaqi.

At that moment, he said with a slight smile.

"But to be honest, city water really doesn’t compare to our refreshing and tasty spring water."

He added.

After all, county water is filtered variously, and it even has a hint of disinfectant smell.

"Parasites?"

Old Wei nudged his son’s arm, his expression a bit puzzled while he asked.

Because it seemed like things were increasingly veering toward parasites.

But Old Wei was somewhat confused at that moment.

He was even uncertain.

The question mainly was what kind of parasite could enter a child’s bronchus.

It would be more credible to reach the brain than the bronchus.

"Dad... what kind of parasite can get into the bronchus?"

Wei Zixi also asked his own father.

Of course, after asking this, he got a white eye from Old Wei.

Old Wei’s expression seemed to say.

"What the heck, I’m also wondering and you’re asking me?"

On site.

The examination continued.

"Yes, indeed mountain spring water is refreshing and tasty, but drinking it directly still easily carries parasites and such."

If one had to compare tap water in the cities with natural spring water, which tastes better.

Without a doubt, natural spring water tastes better.

However, drinking natural spring water directly can still very easily lead to issues.

Especially parasites.

"Ah! Doctor, are you saying my son has parasites in his stomach?"

Upon hearing this.

Qiang Jiaqi froze for a moment.

He finally understood what the doctor meant.

"Yes, I think the probability is quite high, and just now when I listened with a stethoscope, I even heard some abnormal sounds, as if the entire bronchus were blocked. I recommend immediate treatment, otherwise, the child might die from suffocation."

Zhang Lingchuan shared his diagnosis.

"?"

"??"

The father and son were both dumbfounded.

Parasites blocking the bronchus, if untreated, might cause suffocation and death.

No, seriously?

What kind of parasite is this!!

It sounds so outrageous!

"This! This! Then what should we do now? Doctor, please save my son!"

Qiang Jiaqi didn’t have many questions, his eyes were just filled with concern for his son.

After all, the words "death" were indeed too heavy.

"Director Wei, can we perform a bronchoscopy?"

Only to see Zhang Lingchuan asking.

"Huh? Bronchoscopy? We’ve procured the equipment for it at our hospital, but the medical team likely lacks experience with children."

Bronchoscopy equipment was available at the hospital.

But there was a lack of talent in this area.

And when it comes to children, it becomes even more difficult.

"Zhang Shen, our medical conditions are indeed a bit lacking, only recently did we publish our first case... if you know how, you could try operating it."

On December 29, under the strong focus and active preparation of the hospital leadership, and the careful guidance of experts from the Provincial People’s Hospital, the Meibu County People’s Hospital successfully conducted the county’s first electronic bronchoscopy.

The county hospital team, through professional training and practice, had mastered the technique of bronchoscopy and could accurately perform a comprehensive examination of the patient’s bronchus.

Wei Zixi pulled up the news from the previous days.

Of course, if President Zhang could do it, then he could perform the procedure for them.

Colleagues in the respiratory department would likely welcome it.

"Uh... I don’t know how to operate it, but it doesn’t seem feasible to treat this at the county hospital. How about this, parent, why don’t you first take your child for a CT scan to determine if there’s a foreign object in the bronchus? If there is, the county hospital can then refer you to the city hospital, where it can be removed, since the county hospital does indeed have limited technical capabilities."
