Healing Doctor

Chapter 714 Gravity Allergy?

"Director Lu, what's wrong?" Zhao Zhe asked. "Please don't be angry. At our age, health preservation is the most important thing. Getting angry damages the liver. I've seen patients with liver disease whose complexions are all bad, and they all have terrible tempers."

"Managing patients with liver disease is many times more difficult than managing patients with other diseases, which I didn't realize at first."

Zhao Zheyue said that Lu Gangyue was unhappy, but he successfully diverted Lu Gang's attention to Zhao Zheyue.

He noticed this too, and his voice grew softer and softer.

"Director Lu, have some water." Ji Xiang filled a disposable paper cup with water and handed it to Director Lu.

Lu Gang glared fiercely at Zhao Zhe, then gulped down the water.

"Director Lu, this is..."

"I went for a consultation, and they said to find a master doctor to solve the problem, so as not to bother the hospital. If they had done this earlier, I wouldn't have needed to be hospitalized!" Lu Gang said indignantly.

"Master? What kind of master?" Ji Xiang asked.

Lu Gang wanted to curse, but hesitated to speak.

It is obvious that Lu Gang is wary of this master.

He might scold the patient's family, but he would never dare to harbor any resentment towards this master.

Finding this amusing, Ji Xiang asked, "Director Lu, could we go take a look?"

"There's nothing to see. The patient is being dramatic; he gets dizzy just talking about it. The CT scan and MRI showed nothing wrong... It's really freaking ridiculous!"

"Oh? You feel dizzy as soon as you step on the ground?" Lin Jiu suddenly became interested after hearing Lu Gang say that and asked.

Lu Gang suddenly heard a voice in his ear and instinctively jumped up from his chair, a lock of hair on his head drooping down, clearly startled.

"Director Lu, be careful." Ji Xiang quickly helped Lu Gang up.

Lu Gang glared at Lin Jiuze, but after just one glance, he felt dizzy and his pupils involuntarily looked away.

"What is the patient's condition?" Lin Jiu asked.

He was only polite when speaking to Ji Xiang. When speaking to others, although he seemed to have an invisible ability, his demeanor as a senior doctor was still very obvious.

"The patient is 19 years old. He said that he started experiencing discomfort after getting up 3 years ago. Now, if he stands for more than 3 minutes, he will feel nauseous, have a rapid heartbeat, and then faint. His symptoms improve significantly after lying down."

"Tell me, what the hell is this disease?!" Lu Gang said angrily.

Ji Xiang focused his mind and entered the system operating room.

"Director Lu, isn't this just laziness?" Zhao Zhe said. "Is it because the child doesn't want to go to class, has a fear of the college entrance exam, and is pretending that he feels uncomfortable when he stands up? Or is it just teenage rebellion? But being able to lie at home for 3 years is still pretty impressive."

"I feel uncomfortable when I stand up," that's a saying.

Zhao Zhe couldn't help but laugh out loud halfway through his sentence.

The child's parents really spoiled him, otherwise, such an obvious excuse for skipping school would have continued for three years.

Simply put, this kid deserves a beating; a good spanking with a belt will do the trick.

"When I was a kid, I had a classmate who said he felt dizzy as soon as he woke up. His dad hung him from a horizontal bar by the door and gave him a good beating," Mr. Wu said. "He felt better after that!"

Mr. Wu and Zhao Zhe shared the same idea.

Lin Jiu glanced at the two of them with disdain, but before he could speak, Ji Xiang asked, "Did you do the upright tilting test?"

"!!!"

"The tilt test is actually not very meaningful," Lu Gang muttered first, then said, "We did it, and no one fainted, but the patient said they felt uncomfortable when we stood them up and wanted to lie down."

"No other questions?" Ji Xiang asked.

"The values ​​have changed slightly, but are still within an acceptable range. So I think the patient is just lazy, doesn't want to go to school, and has made up a reason."

Lu Gang was very angry when he got to this point, but he didn't dare to curse and swallowed back all his anger.

Ji Xiang nodded and asked, "Director Lu, are you aware of a certain illness?"

"What illness?"

"Gravity allergy."

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

Numerous exclamation marks appeared above the heads of Lu Gang, Zhao Zhe, and Lin Jiuze.

Lu Gang looked at Ji Xiang as if he were an idiot; Zhao Zhe was a little embarrassed, rubbing his feet on the ground as if he would dig out a three-bedroom apartment before he would stop.

Lin Jiu looked at Ji Xiang with surprise and confusion.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, stop messing around. It's already outrageous enough that the patient's family is seeking treatment from a master, but now you've come up with this gravity allergy thing. You're even worse than those who believe in such things. You've been to school, what is gravity? If you were allergic, would you still be alive today?" Lu Gang rebuked.

He was still polite to Ji Xiang, but if it were Zhao Zhe, Lu Gang would probably have kicked him long ago.

Some people are allergic to milk, others to seafood or pollen, and still others are allergic to other strange things, such as taking blood pressure medication for a lifetime.

Can be allergic to gravity...

Lu Gang had never heard of it and did not believe it.

"Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in the United States treated a similar patient, singer and songwriter Kim."

"Since he first fainted at the age of 13, Kim has suffered for more than 20 years: he feels dizzy when he sits up, his heart races when he stands up, and he might faint if he stands for more than a few minutes. He says he gets tired very easily and often has headaches and nausea. He only feels better when he lies down."

"This seriously affects the patient's work and life."

She dared not drive, fearing dizziness and an accident; she dared not travel for work; she dared not get pregnant or give birth, worried that she might faint and harm the fetus.

Kim has seen at least 50 doctors, hoping to find out the cause, the root of the illness, and get proper treatment.

Contrary to expectations, the vast majority of doctors reassured her, saying there was no problem and no special treatment was needed. These symptoms all stemmed from the patient's own imagination, anxiety, stress, depression…

Lu Gang and Zhao Zhe were dumbfounded.

"The patient sought treatment at several hospitals in the United States, but the doctors' diagnoses leaned towards anxiety, tension, and depression. As the condition worsened, the patient announced his retirement in May 2018."

"!!!"

"!!!"

"A few years later, I think I was treated at Massachusetts General Hospital, where Dr. Chen gave me the diagnosis—orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Dr. Lin, you know about this, right?"

As Ji Xiang spoke, he turned his head to look at Lin Jiuze.

In Ji Xiang's eyes, Lin Jiu was never invisible.

Lin Jiu nodded. "When I was examining the patient, I handled the imaging work. During the consultation, Dr. Chen Pengsheng also invited me to help with the diagnosis."

I go!

Lu Gang's eyes nearly popped out.

Ji Xiang's "fabricated" words actually had a source, and the consulting doctor was standing right there at the time!

Simply put, the patient suffers from orthostatic intolerance, a condition characterized by orthostatic tachycardia.
