Chapter 934 - 348: The Child Coughing Blood, Medical Staff Petrified, The Truth Is Actually This! (Part 3)

Zhang Lingchuan made the arrangements.

He also informed the other party about the reason for the CT scan.

Otherwise, many parents would think the hospital is trying to scam them.

But many times this is a necessary exam.

"Is that so... I’ll listen to you, doctor."

Qiang Jiaqi nodded.

Now he didn’t dare to offer any opinions.

After all, the word ’death’ uttered by this young doctor just now had greatly shocked him.

"Actually, Dr. Zhang’s suggestion for a CT scan is necessary. You should take your child over there right now, we’ll skip the queue at the Emergency Department."

Old Wei picked up the phone.

"I’ll take you to the CT room."

The father and son were both very eager.

Because they were indeed curious at this moment about what kind of parasite could be stuck in the throat for so long, and most crucial, cause the child to vomit blood.

The CT scan went smoothly.

Very soon, the captured images appeared on the computer.

However, the hospital’s machines are always slow to load.

The father and son were eagerly viewing the images.

"Oh my god..."

The next moment, when the CT images came out, the father and son were collectively bewildered.

Because in the child’s bronchus, at the inverted ’Y’ shaped area, they saw an elongated object.

"Doctor, is there really something in my son’s throat?"

Seeing the expressions of the father and son, Qiang Jiaqi asked.

Thanks to the coordination of this Emergency Department director, the examination speed was indeed lightning fast.

"There definitely is, and it’s an elongated object, it looks quite large, but we don’t know what it is."

Wei Zixi frowned and showed the image to the child’s father.

And he circled the area with the mouse.

Normally, having such a large object in the bronchus, one would have suffocated long ago.

Moreover, to have such a large object in the throat and only cough for over a month... it’s simply outrageous.

"Could it be a pen that fell in there!"

Qiang Jiaqi’s eyebrows jumped.

He felt this object was about as long as his little finger.

Could it be that the child swallowed a pen?

"That’s impossible, if there really was a pen stuck in this place, let alone cough for a month, surviving a month would be a world miracle, and how could he eat or swallow with something like that there? So logically and based on the images, it should be something relatively soft and slippery to exist under these conditions."

Wei Zixi analyzed.

The CT scan couldn’t show it clearly.

It could only prompt guesses.

Specifically, a bronchoscope is needed to look or even extract it.

"That’s true, even a little fishbone is uncomfortable, if a pen really went in there, well, doctor, where’s that amazing young doctor? Where is he now? He said something about it being a parasite!"

Qiang Jiaqi curiously asked.

After all, it was this doctor who said there might be something in his son’s throat, and now it turns out there is something, but he said it’s a parasite, and he wondered what kind of parasite could be that big.

"He went to the bathroom, should be back soon."

"Hey, speak of the devil and the devil appears."

Before Wei Zixi finished speaking, Zhang Lingchuan walked over.

"Doctor! My son’s examination result is out, you see there’s really an elongated thing in his body, but we don’t know what it is."

Upon seeing Zhang Lingchuan approaching.

Qiang Jiaqi hurriedly called out to him.

"Let me take a look."

Zhang Lingchuan leaned in to examine the image.

"Oh... that should be what I said, a parasite."

He said the next moment.

"A parasite?"

"No! Zhang Shen, what kind of parasite is so big! And it seems to be hanging there!"

The father and son were stunned!

They really didn’t expect it.

It could indeed be a parasite, but why would a parasite be so big, that’s really strange.

Especially when it seemed to be attached to that place.

At this moment, Qiang Jiaqi didn’t speak.

But his gaze was aligned with the two doctors.

He found the doubt between the doctors to be quite interesting.

"A leech."

Zhang Lingchuan uttered three words.

"?"

"??"

"???"

The three were collectively stunned.

"A leech!!"

The father and son exchanged glances!

"Ah! Doctor, are you saying there’s a leech in my child’s throat!!"

They exploded!

Qiang Jiaqi was completely stunned!

He no longer found the doctors’ questioning each other amusing at all.

After all, in some old tales, leeches are described quite terrifyingly.

There are even stories of leeches eating people’s brains.

Though generally, leeches can’t get into the brain, as the human body has many barriers, so such stories are less credible.

But it is indeed possible for leeches entering the body to cause death.

"According to my hypothesis, the possibility is quite high, and the child’s symptoms match. Initially, he might have drunk mountain spring water that wasn’t boiled; this spring water had leech larvae, which, out of survival instinct, attached itself to the bronchus. At first, because the leech was small, the child didn’t react much, just feeling something in the throat, correct?"

As Zhang Lingchuan spoke, he paused for a moment.

"Yeah, indeed in September, he mentioned feeling something in his throat; we thought it was phlegm and told him to cough it out. Later, he went ’cough, cough, cough’ often, until about a month ago when the coughing wouldn’t stop."

Hearing Zhang Lingchuan’s words, Qiang Jiaqi’s eyes brightened.

This was indeed the case.

This doctor was absolutely correct.

"Actually, how could it have been phlegm? Children are mischievous, and you all may have thought it was nothing serious, but the discomfort he felt was actually the leech acting up. It grew from a larval stage inside the child’s body by feeding on blood, becoming this big. Once it grew, the child’s sensation of a foreign object became more severe, hence the persistent coughing. The reason for coughing up blood was likely due to the leech growing larger, causing wounds that bled out during coughs."
