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

Chapter 230 Life in Danger, Daily Task, Red Tag!

"For examination, you can do two things first. The first is a CT scan. Headaches are caused by increased intracranial pressure, which is usually reflected in the CT scan. The second is a cerebrospinal fluid pathogen examination, which is a test to confirm whether it is cryptococcal meningitis."

Zhang Lingchuan spoke first.

This examination is based on the fact that when a patient undergoes cerebrospinal fluid staining and culture, if a roughly circular halo is found against a black background, and the bacterial cells within the halo are surrounded by a translucent posterior capsule, cryptococcal meningitis can usually be diagnosed.

"Cryptococcal meningitis? Doctor, you mean my mom has that disease?!"

Hu Xiaolan's son asked excitedly.

"I can only say that it is very likely, because your mother's activities are limited, basically just grocery shopping and square dancing. Cryptococcal meningitis is also known as the 'market disease.' If a person with poor health goes to the area of ​​the market where poultry and pigeons are slaughtered, they are very likely to get infected. The symptoms include headaches caused by high intracranial pressure. Because it is a high-pressure headache, painkillers are not very effective. Other symptoms include blurred vision and hearing, drowsiness, abdominal pain, and some coughing. Your mother just said that she has all of these symptoms."

He certainly couldn't say with absolute certainty that it was cryptococcal meningitis.

Ultimately, it's the hospital that makes the conclusion.

The best he could do was make a nearly perfect inference.

Making inferences based on reason and evidence is a better way to protect yourself.

But if we were to actually investigate...

It's basically correct.

This is also the result of the system's check.

System scan complete.

[Patient Name: Hu Xiaolan]

[Patient's gender: Female.]

[Patient's age: 62 years old.]

[Patient's condition: Persistent headache, fever of 37.5 degrees Celsius, accompanied by blurred vision and hearing, abdominal pain, drowsiness, etc.]

[Patient Diagnosis: Cryptococcal meningitis, life-threatening.]

[System notification: This patient is in poor health and contracted cryptococcal meningitis while shopping at the market. Cryptococcal infection, a deep fungal infection, primarily affects the central nervous system, accounting for approximately 80% of cryptococcal infections. It has a severe prognosis and high mortality rate. The patient has been infected for over half a month and is in critical condition. The host is activating daily tasks.]

[Daily Task: Recommend patients to the appropriate department for treatment. Successful treatment will reward the host with one regular treasure chest. Remember, never perform surgery yourself. If you need to predict the patient's remaining lifespan, you can use a precision scan.]

According to the description of the system.

Although Ms. Hu Xiaolan can still communicate with me now, there is always a possibility of the connection being lost.

He doesn't need a precise scan.

Knowing how long you have to live is meaningless.

After all, they themselves will be undergoing examinations soon, and the doctors will know the severity of their condition based on the results.

"That's true. Then, young doctor, please order this test for us as soon as possible."

Hu Xiaolan's son had hesitated a little before.

But after hearing Zhang Lingchuan say that, I felt that it was very likely.

After all, no one in the family had ever shown any signs of this disease; the mother herself only had cervical spondylosis.

He had previously suspected that his mother might have contracted some kind of virus.

But the other person's life trajectory is simple.

The contact wasn't too complicated.

The young doctor's words reminded him.

vegetable market.

Especially in the poultry area.

If you go there in poor health, you really can get sick.

"Okay, then I'll arrange an expedited check-up for you. Get there quickly."

Huang Xiangning immediately ordered an examination for Hu Xiaolan.

"Thank you doctor."

The mother and son were extremely grateful.

They immediately went to get checked.

"Xiaochuan, you're really excellent. If I may not laugh at you, the thought of cryptococcal meningitis only flashed through my mind for a moment. If I were to make a diagnosis based solely on this, I wouldn't be able to define it in this direction at all."

Huang Xiangning then spoke to Zhang Lingchuan.

Anyway, as an elder, she wasn't afraid of being laughed at.

It is what it is.

If you can't see it, you can't see it; there's no need to pretend.

"No, no, I just overheard the other person mentioning going to the market and not feeling well, so I made those connections."

Tell the truth.

It has to be the teacher's wife.

It's amazing that they could even think of it as cryptococcal meningitis.

If he hadn't been cheating, what could he have figured out? He wouldn't have been able to see a thing.

"This is also a kind of medical intuition. In all my years of practice, I have met a person with a natural medical intuition. They can basically make a diagnosis of a disease just by looking at the person, and the accuracy rate is very high. You are also this kind of person. You can say that you are a natural doctor."

Huang Xiangning remarked earnestly.

There's a saying that goes something like this: no matter how hard ordinary people try, they can't compete with those who are naturally gifted.

Especially those who are both hardworking and talented.

It can leave you far behind.

Huang Xiangning had experienced this feeling of helplessness, but also joy, before, and now this feeling of helplessness and joy had returned to her.

"Teacher's wife, please stop praising me and move on to the next one."

Zhang Lingchuan didn't want to continue the conversation on this topic.

He immediately urged his teacher's wife to hurry up.

After all, his current innate medical sense is fake; it's just the result of the system's scan.

But how should I put it? Since scanning is available now, let's use this scanning technology to help more patients.

If there are no more scans in the future, he can just focus on being a veterinarian.

Human medicine practitioners specialize in surgery and do not see patients.

For now, let's just enjoy it and have some fun.

"They're actually urging us on. Okay, let's move on to the next one."

Huang Xiangning smiled.

"Please have Zhao Yanshu (number 2) come to clinic room number 8 for your consultation."

Huang Xiangning pressed the summon button.

However, after waiting in the examination room for a while, no one came in.

Did someone go to the toilet, or did they not hear it?

The image shown above is of a 60-year-old man.

It's also possible that hearing loss is a factor.

"Please have Zhao Yanshu (number 2) come to clinic room number 8 for your consultation."

And so, Huang Xiangning continued to massage.

"Doctor, wait a minute, my dad is a little reluctant to come over, I'll bring him over right away."

The speaker was a woman in her twenties or thirties, dressed rather simply.

After saying one sentence at the door of the consultation room, the other person shouted into the distance.

"Dad! What are you hiding for! Come here right now, these two doctors are waiting for you!!"

At the same time, he ran over and shouted at an old man wearing a gray shirt with gray hair who looked rather refined.

"Oh dear... I already said I didn't want to come for a checkup, but you insisted on bringing me to this hospital. With this money, you might as well let me buy two pounds of meat."

Zhao Yanshu looked completely resistant at this moment.

"It's not like you don't have meat to eat. If you want some, I'll buy it for you. Besides, you've already registered, so if you just leave like this, the thirty yuan won't be refunded!"

Zhao Xiaoyan is Zhao Yanshu's daughter.

He then spoke to his father with a serious expression.

"Ah! Thirty yuan! Isn't registration only five yuan?! How come it's thirty yuan?!"

Zhao Yanshu was visibly shocked when his daughter mentioned thirty yuan.

Because this price is really too high for him.

"You're often sick, so this time I specially booked an emergency specialist appointment for you. The doctor is the hospital's vice president, who is very capable and also a State Council special allowance expert. Going to small clinics all the time won't do. Come to a big hospital and let the doctor take a good look at you."

Zhao Xiaoyan had nothing but praise for her father.

Despite being frequently ill, he never goes to the hospital.

At most, I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine or go to a small clinic for a check-up.

If this continues, minor illnesses will turn into major ones. "Sigh... you've made a little money and you're just wasting it! A doctor's visit costs thirty yuan, and if a full-blown illness goes on, it could easily cost three to five hundred or even a thousand!"

Zhao Yanshu was visibly excited after hearing his daughter's words.

"Anyway, I don't know how much it will cost to watch it, but if I don't watch it, this thirty yuan will definitely be wasted."

Zhao Xiaoyan shrugged.

"Alright, alright! I'll go see what this thirty-year-old doctor is like!"

Hearing his daughter say that, Zhao Yanshu couldn't refuse anymore.

After all, nobody's money comes from thin air.

If you pay the money and then don't watch it yourself, then you've lost it all for nothing.

"Well, let's go."

Seeing her father give in, Zhao Xiaoyan smiled.

Little brat! After all these years, she still can't control her own father?

"You've arrived. Is this the old man who needs a checkup? What exactly is his illness?"

Huang Xiangning asked the question.

"Doctor, my dad has had a cold, cough, and fever for over a month now. The cough, in particular, has been going on for quite a while. He came here to get checked out and see what's wrong."

Zhao Xiaoyan said to Huang Xiangning.

"Oh, is that so? Come on, sir, open your mouth and let me see."

Huang Xiangning nodded.

Then I took a cotton swab and a flashlight and shone it on.

"Gulu."

After finishing, Zhao Yanshu swallowed, as his throat was a little dry.

"How is it, doctor? Is my dad's condition serious?"

Zhao Xiaoyan looked at Huang Xiangning expectantly.

She booked an appointment with a specialist because she hoped to get a clear diagnosis of her father's illness in one go.

After all, such a skilled expert must be more experienced than the average doctor.

"Judging from the current situation, the sore throat is indeed quite serious. Let me order a few tests for you, and we'll go get them done."

For patients with this type of cold and cough.

Basically, there's no need for Ogawa anymore.

After all, you can't really tell anything from it.

"What kind of tests do I need? Doctor, just prescribe some cold and cough medicine!"

Zhao Yanshu said firmly.

"Mr. Zhao, you still need to have some tests done so that we can treat the problem properly."

Prescribing only some cold and cough medicine is for cases where there are no other lesions.

If there are other lesions, these medications will not be very effective.

"Yes, Dad, since we're at the hospital, we should listen to the specialists."

Zhao Xiaoyan nodded as well.

"What kind of examination is this! You do it yourself!"

Zhao Yanshu simply snorted and left!
"Hey! Dad! Where are you going! Doctor, excuse me, I'm going to chase after my dad!"

Upon hearing his father say those words, the grandfather got up and left without saying another word.

Zhao Xiaoyan quickly apologized and chased after him.

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Huang Xiangning expressed her understanding.

After all, having worked in the emergency room for so many years, I've actually seen quite a few patients like this.

And especially not the older generation.

Many people believe that if they just tough it out, the problems will pass.

In fact, many diseases are like this.

Just hang in there and it'll pass.

However, some diseases, which are initially minor, can develop into serious illnesses due to prolonged neglect.

"Ugh……"

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head when he saw Grandpa Zhao leave without hesitation, and then his daughter chase after him.

Unfortunately.

This old man, Zhao, has a red tag hanging on his head.

Fortunately, with active treatment, he should survive for the time being.

"Does Dr. Ogawa have something on his mind?"

Huang Xiangning looked at Zhang Lingchuan with a smile.

He guessed that perhaps Xiao Chuan saw in this old man the image of the older generation who loved their children dearly and would rather suffer themselves than squander their children's money.

"No."

Zhang Lingchuan shook his head.

He originally had a thousand words to say.

He even thought of Old Zhang.

The other person is the same kind of person.

They bear everything on their own, and are reluctant to spend money on minor illnesses or pains.

But he shut up after the scan results came out.

"Oh?"

Huang Xiangning was slightly surprised.

Is she really that rebellious?
She had originally thought the other person was going to make some emotional remarks.

outside.

"Dad! Why are you running around like that! You're such a grown man, can't you listen to me? We came here for a checkup!"

Zhao Xiaoyan was extremely embarrassed to see her father suddenly appear out of nowhere.

He immediately began to persuade her.

"It's not that you're disobedient, it's just that there's no need to spend money on unnecessary tests, honey. Being a teacher isn't easy for you these days, and these tests costing hundreds or thousands of dollars are just a waste!"

Zhao Yanshu said.

My daughter's salary isn't very high right now.

Being a teacher at a school only earns four or five thousand yuan.

He felt it was unnecessary if a single inspection cost him a third or half of his salary.

"You're my dad! How can you call this wasting money!"

Zhao Xiaoyan said irritably.

That sounds so harsh.

“Honey! To be honest with you, I’m getting old now, and it’s normal for my health to be poor and for all sorts of ailments. Plus, it’s autumn now, and colds and coughs are very common for older people. There’s no need for unnecessary tests. So, don’t bother me anymore, let’s go home. Consider this thirty yuan as the cost of a trip to the hospital to see a specialist. Besides, even if I do find out I have some serious illness, it will upset you and me. It’s better not to get tested at all. If you don’t get tested, you won’t be sick.”

Zhao Yanshu spoke very sincerely at this moment.

He'd seen too many people undergo all sorts of tests, only to end up with something wrong. If it was cancer, they'd usually die soon after it was diagnosed.

So they simply didn't bother checking.

What if something is actually found out?
An entire family has collapsed.

So it's better to be a little oblivious and just pretend you're not sick!
"What kind of nonsense is that! Besides, nobody gets a cold and cough that lasts a month! Dad, since we're already here, I'm willing to spend the money now. If the test results show I was overthinking it, then next time it's up to you, okay? Just this once, I swear!!"

Zhao Xiaoyan grabbed her father and swore an oath!

"Sigh... Fine, fine."

Unable to persuade her daughter otherwise, Zhao Yanshu reluctantly returned to the clinic.

"Doctor, my dad is willing to have the tests done. His cold and cough shouldn't be too serious, right?"

Zhao Xiaoyan inquired.

"If it's just a cold and cough, then it's not serious."

Just then, Zhao Xiaoyan noticed that the handsome young doctor next to her started to speak.

But what does this mean?
