Healing Doctor

Chapter 742 A Tricky Illness

The medical record was thick, filled with many detailed entries, but it was rather unremarkable.

Because of this, Ji Xiang knew exactly how many tests and differential diagnoses the patient had undergone.

The differential diagnosis was extremely detailed, so much so that it completely blocked Ji Xiang's method of using his mobile phone to consult doctors, which he had learned from Meng Qingfei.

Inhalants, infections, food, climate change, psychological factors, etc. have all been investigated and ruled out. Even many things not mentioned online have been investigated and ruled out in Beijing.

Ji Xiang stared blankly at the medical record.

cough,

"Dean Shen is probably going to get another scolding," a doctor in the VIP ward sighed.

He was listless and slow in doing things, probably trying to delay the process, or at least to get to the patient's ward later and be scolded later.

Ji Xiang glanced at Lin Jiuze.

"Dr. Lin, what do you think?" Ji Xiang asked.

Lin Jiu shook his head, indicating that he didn't have any opinion either.

The patient has been seeing doctors for two years, and has seen all the necessary doctors. The medical records are also very detailed, so at a glance, there is no other possibility.

"Is Dean Shen also being scolded?" Ji Xiang asked unconsciously while concentrating on studying the medical records.

Unbeknownst to him, Ji Xiang had already caught the gossip syndrome from Shen Lang, who was empathizing with him, and it was starting to flare up.

"Well, the patient's grandfather has a rather special status and has some past connections with Dean Shen." The doctor in the special needs ward wanted to say something, but didn't elaborate.

Ji Xiang guessed the same way. He nodded and continued looking at the medical records.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, shall we go take a look at the patient?" Lin Jiu asked.

Ji Xiang didn't say anything, but instead took out his phone and started searching online.

Although he knew that the patient's examinations were extremely thorough and the differential diagnosis was extremely detailed, Ji Xiang still followed Meng Qingfei's approach and started "seeing doctors online".

A few minutes later, Ji Xiang sighed helplessly as he held his phone.

Under the astonished gaze of the doctors in the VIP ward, he shook his head.

The doctor in the VIP ward scratched his head, "Dr. Ji Xiang, what's wrong with you...?"

"It's nothing," Ji Xiang said.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Xiang did not go directly to the operating room, but instead went to see a doctor.

"Shen Zifei, are you even a doctor?! You can't even cure a simple cough, what good are you?!"

As soon as I arrived at the ward door, I heard people cursing.

"Old Chen, Old Chen, please calm down." Shen Zifei, the dean of the Second Affiliated Hospital, was scolded so badly that he didn't dare to say a word and could only awkwardly try to persuade him.

"You have high blood pressure, don't be angry, we're just trying to find a solution."

"It's been two years, what solution have you come up with?"

Ji Xiang scratched his head.

Judging from the other party's status and position, Shen Zifei, the dean, didn't even dare to explain and could only act as a punching bag.

The patient traveled to Beijing, but neither Peking Union Medical College Hospital, 912 Hospital, nor other hospitals in Beijing provided a clear diagnosis.

The top experts in rheumatology and immunology in China have all consulted with them, and they have undergone numerous examinations.

Logically, the patient's family should know the details and shouldn't hold a grudge against Dean Shen.

But he reprimanded Dean Shen "unreasonably," and when he saw Dean Shen's unpleasant expression early in the morning, he realized that there was a reason for it.

The patient was very difficult to treat, and the patient's family was also very difficult to treat. Ji Xiang was also very helpless.

"My grandson has been coughing for two years, two years!! You bunch of quacks, what can you do? You can't even treat such a trivial illness."

Shen Zifei stopped talking.

The doctor in the special needs ward hesitated to step inside when he reached the ward door, and Ji Xiang also stopped. He could smell the strong gunfire.

Ji Xiang was slightly disappointed that he probably wouldn't have time to study the case, but then he thought that the patient had gone through a series of consultations with top experts in China without a definitive diagnosis, so he figured he wouldn't gain much from the examination himself.

Holding his breath, Ji Xiang entered the system's operating room.

……

"Xiao Ji, did you come to see Dean Shen about something?" Director Bai stood at the door, glancing at Ji Xiang and Lin Jiu as they approached, and asked knowingly.

Ji Xiang smiled brightly and bowed slightly. "Excuse me, Director Bai, I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's alright, come in." Director Bai waved for Ji Xiang to enter the ward.

"Who are they?" the patient's family asked.

He didn't directly scold Ji Xiang and Lin Jiuze, and he didn't even notice Lin Jiuze.

"This is Dr. Ji Xiang. He was very outstanding on a variety show a while ago. Mr. Qin Chu, the owner of Shanghai's liver and gallbladder clinic, has always wanted Dr. Ji Xiang to be his last apprentice. He is considered a young talent."

Dean Shen hurriedly introduced.

The patient's family looked Ji Xiang up and down, and Ji Xiang looked him up and down as well.

The elderly man was about 1.7 meters tall, with a slightly hunched back, and was about 70 years old with a full head of white hair.

He looked very... kind, showing none of the unreasonable temper he displayed when reprimanding Dean Shen.

"Old Chen, this...this..." Dean Shen hesitated for a moment, tentatively looking for Lin Jiuze, but in the end he gave up on looking at Lin Jiuze and directly introduced him to Old Chen.

"Professor Lin already has his own medical team at Massachusetts General Hospital, and it was only by chance that he decided to set up a workstation at our hospital. We're out of options, so I was thinking of asking Professor Lin to take a look."

Old Chen sighed.

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

"No, no, there isn't," Dean Shen quickly replied.

Old Chen glared at him, then said to Lin Jiu, "My grandson's illness hasn't gotten better, and I'm really frustrated. I happen to be familiar with Xiao Shen, so I'm taking it out on him. Please don't take offense."

"Hehe, this old man is quite interesting," Ji Xiang smiled.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Jiu began the physical examination.

He examined her very carefully, but neither Old Chen nor Dean Shen seemed to care.

In particular, Chen Lao did not have much confidence or expectation because Lin Jiu was an expert at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Seeing this, Ji Xiang knew what was going on.

Only a system NPC with extraordinary abilities can understand this illness.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Jiu looked up expressionlessly.

He didn't look at Old Chen, nor at Dean Shen and Director Bai, but looked at Ji Xiang with an inquiring gaze.

"The physical examination was normal, but the persistent cough has been observed. Many tests have been done, so I suggest having the external auditory canal checked."

"External auditory canal?" Lin Jiu was taken aback.

"We've done all the rheumatology and immunology tests, which basically rule out all kinds of rare diseases. The only thing I can think of is an ear-related cough."

Otogenic

cough!

Mr. Chen, Dean Shen, and Director Bai were all stunned.

"Dr. Ji Xiang." The on-duty doctor in the VIP ward gently tugged at Ji Xiang's white coat from behind. "Don't speak."

He lowered his voice and spoke to Ji Xiang.

Lin Jiu, however, showed no surprise. He immediately took out a notebook from his white coat pocket and began writing something on it with a ballpoint pen.

After finishing writing, Lin Jiu looked up at the young patient.

As if seeing the blazing sun, Lin Jiuze's pupils instantly shrank.
