Great doctors start with pediatrics

Serious illness!

Another serious illness!

Zuo Zhenxing's gaze toward Laurent became even more serious.

How come this child always gets stuck on difficult and complicated cases?

Zuo Zhenxing looked at Laurent's bewildered face.

Stupid, dull.

It's as if they've never studied medicine.

Hearing the symptoms, he didn't even react.

Laurent genuinely had no idea what illness the boy had: "Teacher, may I check the phone?"

"Investigate, investigate."

Zuo Zhenxing closed his eyes and waved his hand as he spoke.

Laurent quickly took out his phone and began searching through the boy's medical records.

High cryptorchidism, as the name suggests, means that the testicles have not descended and remain inside the abdominal cavity.

Cryptorchidism is not a rare disease; it has a significant incidence rate in premature infants and also affects about one percent of the general population.

Torsion also refers to the misalignment of the testicles and spermatic cord, which can easily lead to insufficient blood supply and even necrosis after onset.

Laurent looked at the information that came up on Baidu:

"I see. In this case, the lesion is usually invisible and untouchable. Even if it twists, there will be no redness or swelling of the scrotum. It will only manifest as lower abdominal pain."

This disease is easily missed; many children are only diagnosed after their testicles have become necrotic.

In other words, he has solved another difficult medical case?

"Now that we've found out, will everything be alright?"

Laurent tentatively asked Zuo Zhenxing.

Zuo Zhenxing opened his eyes helplessly: "Can't you use your phone? Once it's reset, there won't be much of a problem."

The onset of the disease at this time is unusual, and it's not a place where a routine physical examination would be conducted. Furthermore, the child is unable to communicate, making it easy to miss the diagnosis.

"However, even if a child can communicate, they may not be able to communicate well during pediatric surgery, so you must be careful."

Zuo Zhenxing said, giving a word of advice.

Laurent and Fang Qingxue nodded repeatedly.

While other departments may also encounter patients with difficult symptoms and poor communication skills, as adults, they at least know where they are in pain and how long they have been in pain.

However, children lack this ability to express themselves, so pediatricians often have to play guessing games.

"besides……"

Zuo Zhenxing stood up and walked towards Laurent: "Your sign language is quite good. Did you learn it at the orphanage?"

"Yes." Laurent nodded.

The original owner had indeed learned some sign language.

It's just that he doesn't know as much as Laurent does now.

Zuo Zhenxing thought for a moment: "What was your score on the college entrance exam?"

Laurent recalled for a moment: "Six hundred and forty points."

"It's a pity you studied medicine; you ended up studying pediatrics."

Zuo Zhenxing said something thoughtfully.

"It's okay."

Laurent also had some thoughts on this.

If I had such high scores in my past life, I definitely wouldn't have applied to medical school.

If you really don't know what to choose, study computer science; you can find a good job that way.

In his memory, the original owner of this body was not unaware of this, but:

"The doctors at the orphanage are getting old. Although the number of children in the orphanage is decreasing, as long as there are still sick children, they will still lack the best medical resources."

"That's why I'm studying medicine, so I can help them in the future."

"My high school teacher and the director of the orphanage also advised me to change my college application. I said at the time that compared to earning tens of thousands of yuan a month to give back to the orphanage, the orphanage was more in need of various scarce social resources."

"That's why I came to study medicine."

Laurent's face showed no pitiful act or affectation in an attempt to gain sympathy.

Instead, they held their heads high with pride.

While this may not be a good choice from a utilitarian perspective, anyone who talks about it should feel proud.

"You've come here to die."

Zuo Zhenxing rolled his eyes at Laurent: "The doctor-patient relationship is terrible right now. You'd better watch your temper, or you might make a mistake."

"I think you came to the hospital just to die. You'll either be hacked to death or die suddenly."

Zuo Zhenxing sat back in his chair: "Alright, I'll apply for subsidies from the hospital and school for you later. Now continue with outpatient services."

"Also...you might consider going to pediatric urology in the future..."

Laurent stood back next to Fang Qingxue.

At this moment, Fang Qingxue looked at Luo Lang with admiration, not pity or sympathy.

Just as Fang Qingxue was about to speak,

Zuo Zhenxing's phone suddenly rang: "Professor Zuo, I heard that the students in your clinic can use sign language."

The doctor who speaks sign language isn't here today, but we have two deaf children. Can I get an appointment with you?

"I can only conduct a preliminary consultation here."

Zuo Zhenxing said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to add me to the list, teacher."

The phone hangs up.

Soon the first child arrived.

He was still a seven or eight-year-old boy.

The boy's eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"My child hasn't been eating anything this morning, doctor, please take a look..."

The boy's parents explained his condition.

Laurent stepped forward and asked.

"Does it hurt here?"

He touched it with his hand, gesturing as he asked questions.

Finally, he looked at Zuo Zhenxing and said, "Teacher, why don't you check me? I feel like I have abdominal bloating."

Zuo Zhenxing stepped forward and conducted a series of checks.

Since Laurent came along, Zuo Zhenxing's inspections have become more and more standardized.

It's even on the verge of becoming a new standard in pediatrics.

After the examination, we will ask the boy's parents about his medical history.

Zuo Zhenxing wrote out the medical record: "Our initial suspicion is indigestion. Take the medical record to the previous pediatric outpatient clinic, and they will make a diagnosis."

Although Zuo Zhenxing is also a pediatrician, different departments have different functions.

"They'll know how to handle it after reading the description above."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

The boy's parents took him out of the clinic.

Laurent glanced at the boy.

The green light is indeed a relatively minor issue.

However, due to communication difficulties, it is difficult to make a diagnosis.

After confirming that the boy's parents had left, Zuo Zhenxing couldn't help but say, "When you go to the hospital, you should also be careful to avoid risks."

"Medications that are not your responsibility to prescribe should ideally be prescribed by the appropriate clinic."

"Although I can also prescribe it, my medical license only covers pediatric surgery, so it still needs to be prescribed by the pediatric internal medicine department."

Zuo Zhenxing taught not only medical knowledge, but also medical experience.

Fang Qingxue nodded repeatedly.

Laurent, on the other hand, had no shortage of social experience, but lacked pure medical knowledge.

When it comes to social experience, Laurent, a popular online lawyer, has seen all sorts of strange and wonderful things.

Zuo Zhenxing probably has never conducted a live online consultation!

The next patient to be admitted quickly entered the examination room.

The patient was a girl around nine years old, wearing a blue and pink dress.

The girl walked in holding her parents' hands, her skirt swaying slightly with her steps, looking as sweet and adorable as a small flower basket cake.

However, the girl was tightly clutching a faded plush rabbit in her arms.

There was a small patch on the rabbit's left ear.

It looks like a very old toy.

However, they were accompanied by a doctor wearing a white coat.

"Hello, Director Zuo, I am He Wenzhe from the Department of Pediatrics."

The pediatrician said, "Let me explain your child's condition to you."

"This must be Luo, right? We've all heard about your story from the radiology department. We'll need your help communicating with the child later."

"Then I'll get straight to the point and discuss the patient's condition."
