Chapter 1417: Strange Scar

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1417: Strange Scar

"Qingqing, the patient’s blood routine didn’t reveal much, just a slightly elevated white blood cell count and a bit of anemia."

Xu Yino said while holding the test sheet.

"But there’s no choice, the patient hasn’t left any stool sample yet," Liu Yiqing replied.

"What should we do? We can’t just send for a brain CT out of anxiety," Xu Yino sounded troubled.

"There’s no other way. Teacher Liu would surely do another physical examination for the patient and then inquire further to see if there’s any missing information," Liu Yiqing suggested.

"Alright, let’s check again," Xu Yino nodded.

Calling Liu Banxia for help seemed a bit out of place. Although the patient exhibited few symptoms, they were confident they could dig further.

If they strive to be attending doctors, the two of them diagnosing this patient, and still can’t figure it out, asking Liu Banxia for help would be quite interesting.

"Doctor, here you come, her condition seems to have worsened,"

The patient’s boyfriend hurriedly said when he saw them approaching.

The two hurriedly checked, and the patient’s condition indeed wasn’t good.

Her face was somewhat pale, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her mental state had deteriorated a lot since she came to the clinic.

"Temperature has risen by one degree, let me listen to the bowel sounds. Is your abdomen hurting now?" Xu Yino asked.

"It doesn’t hurt, just feels a bit bloated and painful. I’ve gone to the toilet three times, but couldn’t relieve myself," the patient replied.

Xu Yino quickly auscultated, her brow slowly furrowing.

The patient’s abdominal bloating had worsened, and the bowel sounds were somewhat weakened.

"Let’s get an abdominal X-ray to check the condition of the intestines. Do you have any other discomfort?" Xu Yino inquired.

"No, even if it’s enteritis, it shouldn’t cause bloating and inability to relieve," the patient wondered.

"Your blood test results just came out; only the white blood cell count is a bit high. Are you in your menstrual period lately? There’s slight anemia, not very severe," Xu Yino asked.

"Not my menstrual period," the patient shook her head.

"What about hemorrhoids, do you have hemorrhoids?" Liu Yiqing added.

The patient nodded, "I have hemorrhoids, but I haven’t been eating spicy food lately."

"Let’s just get you checked up, I’ll prescribe it now," Xu Yino said.

"By the way, what did you eat last night?" Liu Yiqing pursued another question.

"Last night we had stone pot bibimbap and stewed mushrooms with chicken, all brought from his hometown, and we made them ourselves," the patient replied.

Liu Yiqing thought for a moment; those were relatively normal foods.

"Nuonuo, what do you think is the patient’s situation? Hope it’s not developing into intestinal obstruction. But what’s causing her bloating?"

As the patient went for the X-ray, Liu Yiqing asked.

"My head is all mixed up too. If the big devil were here, what would he ask next? What examination would be done? Surely not a colonoscopy immediately?" Xu Yino pondered.

"Eh? I forgot to ask if the patient has symptoms of belching. But after speaking for so long without any manifestation, she probably doesn’t," Liu Yiqing said.

"The problem still appears to be in the intestines, huh? How do we proceed? A comprehensive examination like before?"

Xu Yino thought for a moment and nodded, "That seems to be the only option. Let’s see if there’s any condition that both we and they have overlooked."

"Ah... I’m so annoyed. What’s up with today, the morning patient’s situation followed by this one’s, it’s making me so confused."

"Nuonuo, don’t rush. I think there’s nothing just that we haven’t discovered the main symptoms," Liu Yiqing comforted.

"It might be just an ordinary intestinal problem. Once she’s back, we’ll do a full physical examination. If necessary, a rheumatism and immunity test.".

Even though she knew the comfort was ineffective at the moment, being medical students, they realized it wasn’t a vague symptom issue but a judgment issue.

At this moment, Liu Banxia also came out of the office with Wang Chao, simply to discuss, which took hardly any time.

Wang Chao was quite happy, having a chat with Liu Banxia gave him confidence.

Of course, the specific details will only be known during the surgery tomorrow, like adhesions, which are uncontrollable factors.

"What are you two up to?" Liu Banxia came over.

"Nothing much, just working as usual," Xu Yino replied.

"Then that’s good, it seems your work is going smoothly," Liu Banxia nodded and moved aside to chat with Shi Lei.

Seeing him ask and leave, the two girls felt somewhat unsettled.

"Do you think the big devil noticed my insecurity?" Xu Yino asked.

"He shouldn’t have noticed, right? Even the Great Demon King can’t pay attention to everything. He just asked casually," Liu Yiqing said.

"No way, I’m still a little uneasy. I’ll go check the patient’s X-ray first," Xu Yino said, dropping the sentence and running off directly.

Liu Yiqing turned around and saw Liu Banxia waving at her.

Her heart skipped a beat, oh no, Teacher Liu noticed. If he asks me, what should I say? What should I say?

"Teacher Liu, what are you doing?" Xu Yino asked after walking in front of Liu Banxia.

"Nothing, eat more at lunch," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"It’s not easy to get a chicken leg from Xu Yino, that miser. Your loan is probably coming through soon, right?"

"Yeah, soon, probably in about half a month," Liu Yiqing nodded.

"Is this patient’s symptoms very complex? Hard to diagnose?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Not complex, just a bit strange. We... Teacher Liu, why are you like this," Liu Yiqing responded instinctively, feeling troubled.

"I figured you two were tense just now, you must be hiding something from me. It’s okay though, just do more exams, ask more questions, especially with new symptoms, pay attention to them," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"New symptoms mean the disease is developing, providing support and direction for our next diagnosis. Don’t panic, take it slow."

"Oh? Teacher Liu, aren’t you going to inquire in detail?" Liu Yiqing asked in surprise.

"Do I inquire everything? You all need to work hard too," Liu Banxia said.

"Oh, then we’ll ask you again if we still can’t figure it out," Liu Yiqing said, then slipped aside.

She felt somewhat relieved inside; her earlier worry was for nothing.

"Not really going to help?" Shi Lei asked.

"Let them study first. They have the ability, just don’t like to think much," Liu Banxia said.

"Can’t always deal with trauma patients only, there are many other illnesses among patients too. Be attentive, and you’ll notice issues."

"Just like this morning’s patient. If we just listen to him, we’d probably do the ECG and send him straight to catheter lab. According to what he said, it suggests acute NSTEMI."

"And then? After all the efforts, we found the coronary arteries had no issues. Doctor Peng was meticulous and checked thoroughly, and discovered the problem."

"Apart from real difficult cases, I actually think many illnesses have traces to follow. It depends on whether the reception is careful enough, this way we can avoid detours and gain the patient’s appreciation."

"Nowadays, our reputation in Western medicine is really not that great. Some due to patient’s misunderstanding, others due to our carelessness during consultations."

"These issues aren’t about others, I have them too. Not every time can we be so comprehensive, so we need to keep striving."

"Tsk tsk, quite a thorough analysis. Planning to go to medical school with Old Chen anytime soon?" Shi Lei asked.

"Haven’t thought about it yet. Definitely can’t go tomorrow or the day after; tomorrow Wang Chao has surgery, and the day after is my surgery day, still got work," Liu Banxia replied.

Shi Lei nodded, Liu Banxia really is busy now.

On the other side, Xu Yino wasn’t so free. The patient’s intestinal tract indeed has inflated segments, although not severe yet, it must be considered.

Walking back with the patient, she kept pondering. What’s the actual situation? Something seems off, maybe there’s something I missed checking.

"Um... I need to use the restroom now," the patient said.

"Then hurry up, remember to leave a stool sample," Xu Yino breathed a sigh of relief.

The patient’s boyfriend quickly supported the patient to the restroom; they’ve been waiting a long time.

After returning, Xu Yino explained the situation to Liu Yiqing, and Liu Yiqing relayed Liu Banxia’s situation to her.

"Tsk tsk, indeed the Great Demon King. Qingqing, do you think the patient just has colitis?" Xu Yino asked.

"Looking at the symptoms appears to be colitis, but then, how do you explain the patient’s emotional change?" Liu Yiqing counter-asked.

"Sigh... Thinking about this gives me a headache. Also, the anemia—wait till the patient comes back to ask," Xu Yino said.

There’s no other way, just follow the current indications.

This time the patient stayed quite a while, took over twenty minutes to come out. His spirits were slightly better, probably because the bloating and abdominal pain were resolved, he was feeling a bit relieved.

"How do you feel now? Any discomfort? Did you pay attention to your stool?" Xu Yino asked.

"I did, it’s watery, very watery. But my stomach isn’t bloated, and not much pain now. Still a bit feverish, and my back is uncomfortable."

"Perfect, I was planning to do a thorough check-up for you anyways, come with me, I’ll examine you properly," Xu Yino nodded.

She led the patient to the treatment room, drew the curtains, and started the examination.

The first check was the patient’s back, and after seeing it clearly, Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing’s expressions changed, the issue seemed quite serious.

This scar really doesn’t look like a good sign.
