I'm just a veterinarian! You've unlocked the Great Physician System!

Chapter 179: The Countdown to the Thirteen-Year-Old Girl's Death, Treatment Methods for Choriocarcinoma, and the Discovery of New Functions Through Pulse Diagnosis!

Close the office door.

"Ms. Liu, I heard from Wanqing that you are the first client to make an appointment, so it can't be just a simple matter of neutering the fat orange cat, right?"

Zhang Lingchuan asked the question directly.

"Sigh... Veterinarian Zhang..."

Although Liu Xiangyi still exuded the same elegant demeanor as before, wearing a burgundy dress, a closer look reveals that her overall mental state has deteriorated considerably.

She sighed.

"Veterinarian Zhang, my name is Yu Feng, Tao Tao's father. Thank you so much for helping us with Tao Tao's diagnosis last time. Now Tao Tao's test results are in, and it is indeed primary choriocarcinoma. The doctor estimates that without treatment, her life expectancy is less than three years, and even with treatment, it will not exceed five years at most."

Yu Feng then spoke up directly.

His eyes held a hint of gloom.

"Yes, I've already mentioned this to Ms. Liu."

The man looked very similar to Yu Xiaotao, whom Zhang Lingchuan had met before, so there was no need for an introduction; Zhang Lingchuan could roughly guess that the two were a couple.

This was the reason he called the two of them into his office before the live stream.

After all, if they came because of their daughter, they should avoid doing a live stream. It would be better to call them to the office beforehand to find out what's going on.

Now it seems they did indeed come with ulterior motives.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have roughly repeated what he said last time.

"Veterinarian Zhang, my daughter Tao Tao is only thirteen years old. Even if she lives for another five years, she will only be eighteen. She hasn't even had a chance to enjoy the best years of her life. So my husband and I came here this time hoping to see if there is any way to save our child, such as a prescription. We would be willing to let her live for a few more years."

Liu Xiangyi stopped hiding her intentions and directly stated the purpose of her trip.

"Yes, Dr. Zhang, money is not a problem. As long as you are willing to name your price, we will try to make up the amount you want, even if we don't have enough. After all, our daughter is still so young, and she is our only child. We really can't lose her."

Yu Feng's eyes reddened as he spoke.

That's what it's like to be a parent.

My child is my only concern.

If I could, I would give my life for yours.

As for money and the like, they are merely external things.

"Sigh... I knew you guys came here with this purpose this time."

Zhang Lingchuan sighed; it was pretty much as he had guessed.

"Veterinarian Zhang, do you have a solution?!"

"There must be a way! After all, Veterinarian Zhang can even diagnose Tao Tao's illness, and Professor Li and the others were amazed!!"

The couple's eyes lit up when they heard Zhang Lingchuan say those words.

They were thinking.

If the other party can even diagnose a child's illness with the naked eye, then they must be very capable!

"You're overthinking it. There's nothing I can do about it. Besides, I'm a veterinarian and can't prescribe medication. I suggest you follow your doctor's orders."

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head.

The other person has late-stage choriocarcinoma.

It has already spread to the lungs and brain; what can he do?

All I can do is follow the doctor's advice and try to prolong my life as much as possible.

"Veterinarian Zhang! Is there really absolutely no way to help?!"

"Yes, Dr. Zhang! We're begging you! Please, even just a little advice would be appreciated! Our Tao Tao is still so young!"

Upon hearing Zhang Lingchuan's words, the two men's faces turned pale at a visible speed.

At the same time, he began to plead.

“Mr. Yu, Ms. Liu, I understand how you feel. How about this, you bring Tao Tao over later and I'll take your daughter's pulse again and give you some advice, okay? But let me tell you, modern medicine is something that no traditional Chinese medicine can compare to.”

Although he is only a veterinarian.

But he also knows that many people who are about to lose their own or their family members' lives hope to defy fate.

Therefore, believing in traditional Chinese medicine and hoping that a single herbal decoction can cure the disease is actually highly unlikely!
However, believing in traditional Chinese medicine is better than believing in folk healers, witchcraft, Buddhism, theology, etc. It is far more outrageous. There are many people who could have lived for three or five years, but they deliberately torment themselves to the point that they do not live for more than two years.

But to expect to be cured by a single dose of herbal medicine is no different from believing in witchcraft, Buddhism, or theology.

As for why he agreed to take the girl's pulse again...

First, continuing this entanglement would not only fail to achieve the desired result but also delay the upcoming live stream, and the other party might even come looking for him again. Therefore, he offered to take the other party's pulse one more time, which was a way of ending the conversation in advance and doing his best to avoid them coming to him again.

Secondly, although he knew that precise scanning was not actually very useful, he hoped to use the opportunity to offer some advice, so that the other party would not rush into seeking treatment indiscriminately and would instead receive proper treatment.

"Veterinarian Zhang! That's wonderful! Thank you so much! My daughter is in the car; I'll bring her over right away so you can take her pulse again!!"

Upon hearing Zhang Lingchuan say those words, Liu Xiangyi immediately became extremely excited.

"Hmm? The little girl is outside??"

Upon hearing the other party say that, Zhang Lingchuan's expression showed a look of great surprise.

What he meant was that once the other person starts treatment, he could help take their pulse.

We shouldn't take your pulse now.

"Okay, we'll have Tao Tao wait outside. Don't worry, Veterinarian Zhang, we'll definitely listen to your advice this time. We do hope you can prescribe some medicine for the child, since you can tell the condition and you must have a solution. We just didn't expect you to answer so firmly."

Although Yu Feng was heartbroken, he was slightly more rational than his wife.

She also truthfully told Zhang Lingchuan about some of her previous thoughts.

“Mr. Yu, I am a veterinarian. Although I can see the patient’s illness, I may not be able to cure it. As for the idea that traditional Chinese medicine can cure cancer with one dose of medicine, that is simply impossible. If you really believe in one dose of medicine, it may cause the child to suffer from kidney failure.”

There's a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that's quite true.

Three-drug.

Therefore, long-term medication will inevitably lead to kidney overload and failure.

Those who think they can take some medicine to nourish their kidneys when they have nothing better to do deserve a slap in the face.

Normal people's kidneys do not need supplements.

It will only lead to further depletion if you try to supplement it.

"Ugh……"

Yu Feng felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this.

He had always been this rational, but now that this had happened to his own child, he, as a father, simply couldn't remain rational.

I always thought I'd give it a try, just in case it worked.

outside.

"Ok?"

"Why did you come out?"

More than fifty people have arrived at this moment.

Everyone was filled with curiosity when they saw the woman they knew go in and then come out alone again.

Song Wanqing, who had just finished setting up the live broadcast room, was also a little surprised.

The live stream starts in six minutes.

I don't know if there will be a delay.

If it's delayed, I'm afraid the viewership will drop when it finally airs.

After all, the broadcast time had been announced beforehand.

Spring Comes to Clinic doesn't have many followers.

There are only a little over 50,000 people now.

But Teacher Zhang's account has three million followers, and the account that announced the live stream has now received over a million likes and over 300,000 shares.

"Huh? Is he going to take my pulse again?"

Yu Zitao sat in the car.

Her parents told her that many people knew about this after the last live stream.

She might encounter some trouble when she gets off the bus.

So they hoped she would wait in the car until Fat Orange finished her neutering and they finished asking her questions, then she would come out.

Unexpectedly, after only a short while, the mother said that the veterinarian wanted to see her and even wanted to take her pulse again.

"Yes, Tao Tao, go with your mother. Veterinarian Zhang will take her pulse again. He might be able to figure out something."

Liu Xiangyi said.

"Okay, I get it now."

And so, the mother and daughter walked into the office under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Isn't this the girl who went to see a veterinarian for a checkup last time, and was then privately questioned about her illness, which no one online still knows what's wrong with her?

That's right.

There are many different opinions circulating online about Yu Zitao's illness.

However, there is still no definitive information to prove what disease the other party has.

The hospital declined to provide any further information due to concerns about the privacy of minors.

Of course, some people also found Yu Feng and his wife.

But they are even less likely to disclose the child's condition.

After all, with the internet so developed now, how could they keep the child's condition a secret from Tao Tao if it were made public?

office.

"Veterinarian Zhang, Tao Tao has been brought over. Could you please take her pulse again?"

After Liu Xiangyi came in, she spoke very earnestly to Zhang Lingchuan.

She no longer hoped that the veterinarian could prescribe medicine to save her daughter.

I just hope the other party can give me some new suggestions.

Of course, it's also fine if there are no new suggestions.

After all, she had anticipated this.

"Veterinarian, actually I'm not that upset. It's just a tumor, nothing serious. Just tell me what's wrong." At this moment, Yu Zitao, completely unaware of the situation, spoke with a relaxed expression.

She felt quite helpless about the veterinarian's avoidance of her last time.

It's just a tumor.

This girl isn't afraid of this thing!

"That's still different. After all, you are a minor and a child. As doctors, we usually communicate directly with the parents when the condition is serious or when we discuss treatment methods."

Zhang Lingchuan said something in a low voice.

Yu Feng and Liu Xiangyi gave Zhang Lingchuan a thumbs up in their hearts; he really was the veterinarian.

This made it seem reasonable for them to try to get rid of each other.

Otherwise, it would seem a bit abrupt to send the daughter away after taking her pulse.

"Uh... speechless."

Yu Zitao was speechless upon hearing this.

But they were powerless to refute it.

Because at her age, she would definitely need to go to the pediatric ward at the hospital.

If the doctor insists on telling the parents, she really has no way to do anything about it.

All I can say is that this doctor is making a mountain out of a molehill!

"Come on, stretch out your hand, let me take a look."

Now that the other party has brought the person over, he can help take a look at them.

Unsurprisingly, several days have passed, and the tag above the other party's head still hasn't turned yellow; it remains red.

Red indicates a lifespan of less than three years.

Treatment probably hasn't started yet.

Perhaps they wanted the little girl to experience a normal life for a while.

[Host detected to be undergoing medical consultation; system-assisted scanning in progress...]

[Accurate detection... 3 tests remaining.]

[Regular testing... 2 test remaining for the day.]

[Initiating precise detection, please wait...]

He has two regular scans left today, and three more precision scans.

Since we're helping out, let's use precise scanning again.

But I feel like the scan results will probably be the same as last time.

The system has completed a precise scan.

Patient Name: Yu Zitao

[Patient's gender: Female]

[Patient's age: 13 years old]

[Patient's condition: Constipation, loss of appetite, irregular bleeding accompanied by cough, chest tightness, vomiting, dizziness, breast enlargement, nipple and areola pigmentation, and milky discharge, resembling a false pregnancy.]

[Patient Diagnosis: Advanced stage of primary choriocarcinoma complicated with dysgerminoma; current life expectancy is less than three years.]

as predicted.

As the system scan results popped up one by one...

It's basically the same as last time.

He was also a little disappointed.

I thought there would be some new information this time.

[System Prompt: This is the host's second scan. The system has detected an additional strong desire in the host to save lives. However, the host has not reached the corresponding level, and the system has no relevant treatment methods. Furthermore, according to current real-world scans, the survival time for patients with advanced choriocarcinoma is 99.99% within five years. There is only one case nationwide of a 14-year-old patient with primary advanced choriocarcinoma who has survived to this day, married, had children, and even recovered to basic health. The host can recommend that the patient go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital to seek treatment from Academician Zhu, whose life expectancy is estimated to be extended to about ten years.]

Soon, a system notification appeared in front of Zhang Lingchuan.

"What the hell??"

Look at the prompts.

Zhang Lingchuan was suddenly taken aback.

He had made the exact same preparations as before.

Then he pondered what words to use to appease the other party, and to tell them not to rush into treatment without proper medical advice, but to accept modern medical treatment.

To my surprise, the prompt was completely different from the last one.

So, the second scan will reveal relevant treatment plans?
Zhang Lingchuan had never performed a second, precise scan on a patient before, and he was truly shocked.

We unexpectedly developed a new feature!

One minute later.

"Damn it... Children have the right to know too!!"

Yu Zitao was pushed out of the office.

She angrily returned to her car under everyone's gaze!

It's so disrespectful.

What's wrong with children? Can't children have their diagnoses heard?

She's thirteen years old now!
"Veterinarian Zhang, Tao Tao is gone. Please tell us what to do, we'll definitely listen to you from now on!!"

At that moment, Liu Xiangyi and Yu Feng both looked at Zhang Lingchuan.

His expression was full of anticipation.

"First of all, Mr. Yu and Ms. Liu, I want to tell you that the survival rate of late-stage choriocarcinoma is 99.99% within five years, and many people who do not actively seek treatment die within three years or even one year."

Zhang Lingchuan gave the other party a brief explanation of choriocarcinoma.

"Veterinarian Zhang, we've looked at this one too."

Yu Feng and Liu Xiangyi's eyes were dim and lost in thought.

The couple has been reading a lot of information about choriocarcinoma in the past few days.

If late-stage choriocarcinoma spreads to the lungs or brain, death can occur within six months at the earliest.

With active treatment, there is a chance of living for more than three years.

"Since you all already know, I won't go into details. I just want to tell you if anyone has lived longer than five years. Yes, there was a 14-year-old girl with late-stage primary choriocarcinoma who not only lived for more than five years, but even got married and had children, and is still alive today."

To be honest, Zhang Lingchuan couldn't find any examples of primary choriocarcinoma survivors online.

The system's secondary scan is pretty impressive.

"Ah! This! Is this really true?!"

"Veterinarian Zhang, where is the surviving girl now? Can we see her and ask about her treatment?"

Upon hearing Zhang Lingchuan say that someone had been cured, the couple's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

This is fantastic news for them.

“I don’t know exactly where, I’m just telling you that there have been such cases, but the probability is very small, basically like winning the lottery. Although you and I all hope that Tao Tao is the next one to win the lottery, what if she isn’t? I suggest you take a more practical approach and go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing to see Academician Zhu. Perhaps he can help you extend your child’s lifespan with primary choriocarcinoma, probably to about ten years.”

Zhang Lingchuan knew that it was cruel to give them hope only to dash it later.

But cruelty is better than no hope at all.

Moreover, one case nationwide is too few; we still need to be pragmatic in our treatment.

"Academician Zhu!"

Upon hearing this, the couple, whose eyes had just dimmed, exchanged a glance.

Because they didn't know such an expert existed when they searched for the information.

"Yes, the other party is a top expert who started out in choriocarcinoma. Although he is already eighty years old, he should agree to treat Tao Tao if you tell him about her condition."

Zhang Lingchuan nodded.

He had just taken a break to learn about Academician Zhu and was surprised to find out that the man was already over eighty years old.

"Okay, okay, Dr. Zhang, we understand!"

"Thank you so much!!"

The couple spoke with faces full of gratitude.

Consulting Academician Zhu can extend one's lifespan by ten years.

This is excellent news for them.

"Okay, let's end our conversation here. I need to start my live stream soon. By the way, do you want your cat to be spayed/neutered? If not, you can take it home."

Zhang Lingchuan stood up; there was still a little over a minute before the live stream started.

He has to be online on time.

As for this cat, whether or not to neuter it is up to them.

He wouldn't care if the other person just left like that.

"Sterilize! They must be neutered! Otherwise, my wife and I will feel guilty taking advantage of you, Dr. Zhang, for free!"

The couple exchanged a glance and unanimously agreed to give the chubby orange cat at home an egg.

"Okay, so all the pre-operative requirements for the sterilization surgery have been met, right?"

Zhang Lingchuan inquired.

"It's done."

The couple answered.

"Okay, let's go out first."

What could Zhang Lingchuan say about this?

The only option left was to cut it off quickly and decisively.

However, he was now a little curious about what the system meant when it said, "The current host has not reached the corresponding level, and the system has no relevant treatment methods."

Could it be that I have reached the corresponding level?

Can it treat choriocarcinoma?
What level will I get?!
However, just as a question arose in his mind, a notification popped up from the system!
