Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: The Girl with Back Pain

"Wang Chao, how are you feeling now?"

After arriving at the cafeteria, Liu Banxia asked teasingly.

"It’s beyond awesome! I’ve already spread the news around. Let’s eat quickly. I’m really happy." Wang Chao said cheerfully.

Liu Banxia smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Keep up the good work. This path is just beginning. Even though you can already perform a surgery independently, try to observe a few more to solidify your foundation."

"Of course, although I managed to do the surgery today, it didn’t meet my expectations completely." Wang Chao nodded seriously with a determined look.

"The adhesions for this patient weren’t very severe, and the vascular quality was acceptable. If I encounter something more complex, I might be at a loss."

"Usually, watching you guys perform surgeries doesn’t feel like much, but after trying it myself, I realize how difficult it is. But let’s not talk about the unhappy stuff; just enjoy the meal!"

Everyone chuckled because he was right. Just enjoy the meal!

Wang Chao really went all out today, arranging quite a lavish spread, and everyone enjoyed it happily.

"Moving forward, spend more effort in this area. Nowadays, there are too many patients with liver problems." Liu Banxia said while heading to the emergency center.

"Although internal medicine can also treat actively, many times patients need surgical intervention once discovered. Either way, the number of surgeries for liver patients has been increasing over the past few years, simply because life is too good."

"Nowadays, many people pay attention to their health, but their focus is somewhat misaligned," Wei Yuan said.

"And some people only search online for information, but the reality? Some health products aren’t suitable for everyone."

"Combined with irregular diet and unhealthy living habits, it’s more damaging to the body as various illnesses compound and ruin health."

"But Wang Chao is quite the rising star. Accomplishing such a major surgery at this age isn’t easy. Keep it up." Wei Yuan encourages.

"Hehe, thanks, Dr. Wei, I will definitely give it my all." Wang Chao said happily.

"Is there an extra meal tonight?" Xu Yino asked with a smile.

"Oh my goodness! You can’t treat me like the big boss. My resources aren’t that deep." Wang Chao said with a bitter smile.

"Eh? Since when did Teacher Wang become so stingy? Aren’t you always treating Teacher Liu to good food?" Xu Yino intentionally remarked.

"You’ve changed; you’ve begun to betray the party. We are supposed to be on the same side!" Wang Chao said with exaggerated resentment.

"I can’t help it! After surgery, I still have to survive under the big boss’s thumb. Heaven spares no one." Xu Yino exclaimed with a face full of lamentation.

"Gosh, it’s supposed to be a happy day, yet now I’m painted as a wicked capitalist." Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Hehe, Teacher Liu, does this mean there can be extra dishes tonight?" Xu Yino asked.

"I’m quite puzzled; why are you so obsessed with adding dishes?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"It’s just that the loan has been issued, and the repayment is due this month. The pressure is huge." Xu Yino replied.

"Can’t compare with Qingqing, the little rich girl. Her monthly expenses are very low, hardly buys clothes, doesn’t snack, and uses very few cosmetic products."

"As long as it’s enough, why buy more?" Liu Yiqing interjected.

"We spend most of our time at the hospital, so it doesn’t matter how well-dressed we are. As long as we have enough to wear. I’m always worried about filling my new home’s closet."

Xu Yino rolled her eyes, thinking this girl’s lifestyle is definitely different from most girls.

But this was just a small interlude, not affecting today’s main theme. Today’s main theme was to be happy for Wang Chao.

Just as they returned to the emergency center, Liu Banxia’s phone rang.

"Hey, Yanzi! What made you think of calling me?" Liu Banxia asked as he answered.

"A student from my yoga studio has been having some back pain recently. Can you help check it out today?" Wang Xiaoyan asked.

"Technically, she should visit orthopedics. But I’m not busy today, let her come over and just register for my number." Liu Banxia replied.

"I’m worried it might be due to improper instruction on my part, leading to issues. If it gets serious, I wouldn’t know how to handle it." Wang Xiaoyan said.

"Don’t worry, she can come to me for a check-up. I’ll ensure everything’s okay." Liu Banxia said.

"Alright, I’ll bring her over now; just finished class." Wang Xiaoyan said happily.

That’s the benefit of knowing doctors, especially trustworthy ones.

"Teacher Liu, what happened?" Xu Yino asked curiously.

"One of Yanzi’s students is experiencing back pain. She’s worried it might be caused by yoga, so she’ll bring her over for a check-up." Liu Banxia said casually.

"Shouldn’t Sister Yanzi be responsible for this? The yoga poses she teaches are all beginner-level; even I can manage them." Xu Yino said.

"It’s better to be explicit, otherwise if something really happens, it’s hard to distinguish in today’s society. Being cautious is always good." Liu Banxia said casually.

"That’s true. There’s too much scam behavior nowadays, and many people feel it’s justified. Indeed, clarity is necessary." Wei Yuan nodded.

Actually, in the hospital, they’ve experienced quite a lot, so odd things aren’t surprising to them anymore.

Back at the emergency center, Wang Chao and the others gathered together to continue enjoying the congratulations.

Liu Banxia didn’t intervene. For Wang Chao, today was indeed a day worth celebrating.

After waiting for over forty minutes, they saw Yanzi leading a young woman inside.

"Register first, must follow the rules." Liu Banxia said earnestly.

"Director Liu, you must take a good look for us, with the spirit you show when treating Qiaoqiao." Yanzi said.

"Don’t worry. Actually, when I treat Qiaoqiao, I often just muddle through." Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

"How does it feel? When seeking medical advice, you mustn’t hide symptoms; you should mention any symptoms and feelings to help me make a judgment."

"It’s just that my back hurts, and my buttocks hurt a little too. But maybe it’s brought on by the back pain; it’s not particularly painful." the young woman said.

"Your description makes it hard for me to judge. Have you been doing any strenuous work lately?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Hmm... maybe I have. My boyfriend returned from a business trip." the young woman whispered.

Liu Banxia nodded, "Understood. Just lie on the examination bed first, I’ll check your lumbar spine. This requires manual diagnosis, it might feel a bit cold."

The young woman nodded and lay directly on the bed.

"Director Liu, how is it?" said Wang Xiaoyan, who had gone to register, running back.

"The examination has just begun. But I suspect it’s probably lumbar muscle strain. Besides yoga, do you do other fitness activities?" Liu Banxia said and then asked.

"I usually do a little bit of fitness, but not anything high-intensity. Actually, I’ve had similar pain before, then after a few days of activity, it went away. This time it’s just lasted a bit longer." the young woman said.

"Let me perform a manual diagnosis first." Liu Banxia said. 𝐟𝑟ⅇ

The circumstances of this young woman are slightly different; excessive sexual activity can cause lumbar muscle strain not only in men. Who knows what methods they’ve unlocked, it’s all possible.

However, this is just his inclination, it still requires manual diagnosis to see the lumbar spine’s condition. You can’t rely only on descriptions.

"Don’t worry, Director Liu is great at orthopedics; even if there’s a minor issue, he can definitely find it." Wang Xiaoyan said.

"It’s actually nothing much. If you hadn’t mentioned it might be a problem, I wouldn’t have come." the patient said.

"It’s better to be cautious, just in case it’s a slipped disc, he can give it a good adjustment. He’s much more skilled than those therapy studios on the street, this is real skill." Wang Xiaoyan continued to praise.

"Praising me doesn’t change anything; I’ll still charge whatever I need to charge." Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

"But there’s no major issue when palpating the lumbar spine, so it depends on your next consideration. Personally, I lean towards lumbar muscle strain, but at the very least, we should get a CT scan."

"Issues with the bones aren’t easily determined just through manual diagnosis. It seems like there’s a slight protrusion on the fourth lumbar joint, this is more challenging than a dislocation or a minor joint subluxation."

"Director Liu, what kind of condition is that?" the young woman asked nervously.

"It’s just that a position on the lumbar joint has slightly protruded, but yours isn’t very obvious, otherwise the pain would be more intense." Liu Banxia said.

"First go and get a CT scan, so we can properly examine it. This is also quick. Once it’s done, come back, I can directly review the results here."

"Alright, I’ll go get a scan then. This lumbar protrusion seems quite serious." the young woman nodded.

Wang Xiaoyan furrowed her brow, somewhat unclear about this condition, and unsure whether it had anything to do with her yoga teaching.

"Don’t overthink it, this is easy to happen in daily life." Liu Banxia explained.

"For instance, sudden increase in load, exposure to cold, dampness, increased abdominal pressure, these can all cause it. Don’t worry too much, it’s not overly prominent."

"Alright, thank you, Director Liu, I’ll go for the scan." the young woman said.

Liu Banxia nodded and gave Wang Xiaoyan a reassuring look.

This isn’t a major condition, and yoga practice focuses more on body stretching, usually not causing results like this.

It’s out of responsibility for the patient that he decided to have her go for a CT scan.
