Healing Doctor

Chapter 279 A Glimpse of Hope (Bonus Chapter 4 by Alliance Leader CAA Spicy Hot Pot)

"I heard that people in their circle even use stain oil as lipstick or something," Director Liu said. "They're really willing to do anything to become famous, like they're sick. Whether you become famous or not is fate, it's not up to you. If you really want to go against the grain, well, you see."

"As for acupuncture needles, I have seen a patient who had them implanted." Director Liu seemed to only have a bit of courage when he was speaking. He switched to Zhao Zhe's mode and talked on and on. "When I saw the X-ray, there were hair-like shadows on his thigh. It was really scary."

"Was it useful?" Ji Xiang asked doubtfully.

"We can't say it's useless, but it wasn't very useful for the patient I encountered," said Director Liu.

Seeing that Director Liu's hands were too weak to fasten his belt, Ji Xiang reached out to help him fasten it, and then helped Director Liu to sit down.

Ji Xiang then repeatedly pondered the entire process he had just witnessed, feeling extremely conflicted.

This is something that will shatter your worldview.

After pondering for a long time, Ji Xiang held his breath and entered the system space.

The system NPC is deep in thought, hands behind his back and back hunched.

"Teacher, something strange just happened to the patient." Ji Xiang began to describe the strange thing he had witnessed.

"Hmm?" The system NPC hummed in response after hearing Ji Xiang's "report," looking puzzled.

"Teacher, I don't believe in souls, but what I saw today has completely shattered my worldview," Ji Xiang said truthfully. "I can't explain it."

"Has the patient recently suffered any external injuries?" the system NPC suddenly asked, asking a completely unrelated question.

Ji Xiang was taken aback. "The patient doesn't seem to have any external injuries, at least I haven't seen any. But he went to Thailand a while ago and had gold needles implanted there."

The system NPC's eyes lit up visibly in an instant.

Like lightning,

Like a hawk,

Like the sun.

Ji Xiang was stunned. He could tell from the expressions and demeanor of the system NPCs that something had happened.

"The medical history was not detailed enough. Please be more careful in the future," the system NPC said in a deep voice.

"Teacher, have you made a diagnosis?"

Even Ji Xiang himself didn't believe what he said.

Diagnosis? What disease could cause a patient's arm to be broken?

"Check the hemagglutination analysis to determine the level of tetanus antitoxin antibodies in the serum."

"Tetanus?!" Ji Xiang was stunned.

"I have a question for you. You just said that someone was pulling the patient's hair from behind and kicking the patient's back, causing the patient to adopt an awkward posture. What is this posture called in medical terms?"

"..."

Ji Xiang only remembered that posture and never imagined that it could be applied to medicine.

As soon as the system NPC mentioned it, he immediately remembered.

"Opposition!" Ji Xiang exclaimed. "But teacher, the patient's left forearm radius and ulna are broken. That doesn't seem like a symptom of tetanus. I feel something is supernatural."

"Slap!" The system NPC slapped Ji Xiang's arm.

"What a joke, just memorize the symptoms of tetanus."

Ji Xiang was stunned. He recited the symptoms of tetanus from the book bit by bit. When he got to the part about how strong muscle spasms could cause muscle rupture or even fractures, Ji Xiang was dumbfounded.

Memorizing is one thing, but seeing things in the clinic is quite another.

Besides, it wasn't just Ji Xiang's problem. None of the many experienced doctors from the Second Affiliated Hospital present considered tetanus infection.

Endorsement and application are two completely different things.

Furthermore, the sentence below this describes urinary retention caused by bladder sphincter spasm.

When Ji Xiang recalled what Director Liu had told him about the patient not urinating for a long time, he had a sudden realization.

But the most crucial issue remains unresolved.

"Teacher, the patient's congestion and gushing are not symptoms of tetanus, are they?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Tetanus infection presenting with abnormal penile congestion and frequent ejaculation as the initial symptoms is relatively rare in clinical practice," the system NPC said in a deep voice. "It is likely due to the tetanus bacteria invading the nerves that control and regulate penile congestion, leading to abnormal penile congestion."

"..."

Ji Xiang looked at the system NPC's serious "nonsense" and felt somewhat confused.

Everything that people said was "applied" to the patient's symptoms. Although it was strange and bizarre, after thinking for a while, Ji Xiang still preferred to believe the explanation from the system NPC.

"Teacher, I'll suggest getting tested for tetanus," Ji Xiang said.

"Go ahead, it must be." The system NPC said with great certainty, "I estimate that the infection was caused by tetanus bacteria due to problems with the sterilization of the gold needles or the fact that they were not sterilized at all when the patient had the gold needles inserted."

"..." Ji Xiang really found it difficult to connect these contents together.

However, the system NPC spoke with such conviction and conviction that, logically speaking, it seemed to make sense and was not something to be refuted.

"Go quickly, and tell me the results after you've checked."

Ji Xiang could sense the happiness of the system NPC. After solving an unbelievable problem, he became excited and happy like a child.

Upon careful recollection, more and more details seem to corroborate the judgment and diagnosis of the system NPC.

Before the onset of the disease, patients may experience frowning, downturned corners of the mouth, and a "bitter smile," which can be interpreted as hemifacial spasm.

The patient's breathing problems could be explained as laryngeal muscle spasm.

And photophobia and other symptoms are even more pronounced.

Ji Xiang left the system operating room, full of doubts, and returned to the display.

"Director Liu, please have a seat." Ji Xiang bowed and whispered to Director Liu.

"Xiao Ji, stay away from that person." Director Liu pulled Ji Xiang back, preventing him from going. "It's dirty stuff, stay away from it. I know you're strong and not afraid of these things, but it's still better to avoid contact."

"Director Liu, I think the patient has an illness. I'll go talk to Director Bai about it."

"Illness? What a joke! Have you ever seen a patient have their bones broken for no reason? Have you ever seen a patient who can ejaculate intermittently and frequently? They'll definitely die from exhaustion in the end."

"Don't go. Sometimes we doctors have to admit our own limitations. Besides, this is a supernatural phenomenon; it has nothing to do with doctors or medicine anymore. Look, the patient's family has already sought out a master to solve the problem."

"Xiao Ji, listen to me, please..."

Director Liu started talking non-stop, but Ji Xiang had already turned around and walked away quickly.

He tried to grab Ji Xiang, but his limbs were weak and he had no strength at all. He could only helplessly watch Ji Xiang leave.

"Director, what's wrong with Dr. Ji?" General Manager Wu sighed, looking at Ji Xiang with a complicated expression.

"Sigh, I guess I just can't accept it. I was like that when I was young too. But sometimes human strength is limited, and the helplessness of not being able to solve problems is something every doctor has to experience," Director Liu said, watching Ji Xiang's retreating figure.

"Dr. Ji has a lot of yang energy, it's alright, it's alright," Mr. Wu muttered, just like he would fervently pray every night not to come to the emergency room.

……

……

Ji Xiang entered the emergency room, approached Director Bai, and whispered, "Director Bai, would you like to say something?"

"Hmm?" Director Bai frowned and glanced at Ji Xiang.
