Chapter 511: Did Not Reply To His Curses
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“h.e.l.lo, I’m the Emergency Department’s chief resident. My name is Zheng Ren.” Zheng Ren smiled and introduced himself first. After that, he said, “Have you been feeling unwell recently?”
The man had been looking at Zheng Ren and Su Yun. Seeing that they were both very young, he was not very willing to communicate with them.
“My wife is suffering all over. I can’t tell what’s wrong with her even after coming here so many times. Every time, all they end up doing is just a routine check-up,” the man complained in a low voice.
The reason he was whispering was not that he was afraid of offending Zheng Ren, but because he felt disdain from the bottom of his heart.
Zheng Ren did not care about his complaints either. He carefully observed the female patient.
She was dressed very plainly. She was not wearing a ring, necklace, or any metal jewelry.
Could it be that, like Cui Heming’s mother, there was something wrong with her teeth?
That was a possibility!
Zheng Ren smiled and said, “How long has it been since your lover has been so unwell?”
“Three years!” The man’s tone was very unpleasant to listen to. It was hard and full of resentment.
“Were you fine before this? Have you had any experience with dentures previously?” Zheng Ren asked again.
“Yes, yes. How many times are you guys going to ask these sorts of questions? Young doctor, we’re already preparing to go to the Capital. Can you stop bothering me? You’re asking about dentures? You clearly don’t know anything.” The man was very annoyed.
Zheng Ren had no choice now. The patient’s family did not understand medical concerns… Actually, the patient’s family could not be blamed. After all, they had come back so many times but could still not find the root cause of her ailments.
No one else would be happy if they were in the same situation.
However, could one truly blame the doctor? A metal allergy was quite rare… No, it was definitely a very rare disease. What was common with metal allergies was the appearance of local ulcers and other symptoms.
If it were so simple, they would have been diagnosed a long time ago.
Furthermore, the patient’s illness was characterized by periodic discomfort. If one did not have rich clinical experience or a large hoof, it would really impossible for one to figure it out. (Note 1)
Su Yun saw that the att.i.tude of the patient’s family member was unsavory and snorted coldly.
Although Zheng Ren knew that this fellow rarely got agitated at patients, he was still afraid that he had not slept well the night before. He was full of anger when he woke up and might argue with the patient’s family member.
He used his shoulder to lightly b.u.mp Su Yun before he smiled and said, “What kind of tests has your lover gone through then? Can you let me take a look?”
He did not react to the man’s harsh words.
Zheng Ren’s att.i.tude toward this was pretty good. He did not retaliate physically or scold the other person.
Although the patient’s family was unhappy with the situation, he still hesitated on continuing to be rude. He picked up a bag and handed it to Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren first took out all the test sheets and looked through them. One by one, he glanced through them quite intently.
The tests were very comprehensive. It covered almost all the common blood tests in the clinic, and her results had all come back as normal.
From the test results, the patient was considered a healthy person.
He checked the other tests… Zheng Ren took a glance and found a well-lit area before taking out the x-ray scans and a.n.a.lyzing them.
CT, x-ray… All kinds of scans were available.
“These scans were taken in your hospital a few months ago when my wife said her leg hurt.” The patient’s family pointed at a knee x-ray that Zheng Ren was looking at and began to complain. “Countless tests were done, and every test said that she was fine.”
“What symptoms did she have at the time when she required a knee x-ray?” Zheng Ren asked casually.
“It was muscle and joint pain.” the patient’s family answered Zheng Ren’s question subconsciously.
“Did you do an MRI scan for the knee?”
“I can’t. Why are you even asking all these questions? Do you know how to treat patients? You’re just asking so many questions!”
Something was not right. Zheng Ren heard something unusual from the patient’s family. Zheng Ren pretended not to hear his unpleasant words. After filtering out the invalid information, all that was left was the information that Zheng Ren needed.
Usually, this kind of pain did not rule out tendon or meniscus damage. It should be done with an MRI, not an x-ray plain film.
Furthermore, the patient’s family said that they could not do it?
Could it be that they had done a metal-inlaid surgery?
Zheng Ren’s eyes widened in realization!
“Has your wife done a surgery like a fracture fixation?” Zheng Ren continued to ask, “or a surgery where there’s a metal-inlaid fixation in the body.”
“No, she just had a G.o.dd.a.m.n fracture.” The patient’s family was getting more and more impatient.
It was strange. The sudden opening up just now disappeared immediately and turned into darkness again.
The System’s diagnosis was annoying. Zheng Ren cursed in his heart. It only said the patient had a metal allergy but not where they were being affected!
Zheng Ren put in the x-ray film of the patient’s knee. Within that moment, Su Yun finally could not hold it in anymore and said, “What’s so strange about it? If you can’t do an MRI then it’s most probably because your wife has a contraceptive ring inside her…”
This sentence flashed through Zheng Ren’s mind like a bolt of lightning. The darkness was torn apart!
Zheng Ren immediately started searching in the bag.
“How can you speak like that!” the patient’s family member began to raise his voice.
On the other hand, Su Yun had a disdainful look on his face. He blew at his messy fringe that was resting on his forehead.
Zheng Ren ignored the conflict between the two of them. He made the best use of his time to find the piece of film he needed, Fu Zifu’s chest and abdomen area.
Sure enough, just as Su Yun had said, a contraceptive ring could be seen in the patient’s pelvic cavity.
Moreover, there were no metal images in the chest and abdomen scan. Combined with Zheng Ren’s observation, he was almost certain he had deduced the source of the patient’s illness.
“Be quiet,” Zheng Ren said in a deep voice. “I know what the problem is.”
Su Yun was stunned. Did he know? That was impossible. Was he going to actually suggest that the patient go to a mental hospital due to an anxiety disorder or…
Looking around, Su Yun wanted to find Fan Tianshui.
He wanted to be prepared in case a fight broke out.
Although Su Yun was agile, there was always strength in numbers when it came to fights so that they would not get bullied.
If he did not use a person like Fan Tianshui, he would be considered a fool.
Zheng Ren saw that the patient’s lover was full of anger, so he did not beat around the bush. He immediately said, “Your lover has a very rare metal allergy, which has originated from her metal contraceptive ring. As long as you go to the gynecology department and take the ring out, there won’t be a problem anymore.”
After he finished speaking in one breath, the patient’s family was stunned. However, he was then spat at and scolded, “What bullsh*t diagnosis is that! There are many people wearing the ring, so why don’t I see anything wrong with them?”
“There are also many people on the road, so why don’t I see them coming to the hospital?” Su Yun immediately retorted back at him.
Su Yun’s words…made sense.
The patient’s family was stunned.
“Unfortunately, that’s how it is.” Zheng Ren hurriedly stood between the two of them, trying to sound as gentle as possible, “It won’t take much effort to remove the ring. It’s fine if you don’t believe me since I have nothing to say about it. However, it should be fine to give it a try, right?”
The patient’s husband hesitated.
“It’s always right to give it a try. If you go to the Capital, whether it’s Concorde, 301, or Peking University, the number of specialists there ranges from three to five thousand. You don’t even need to spend money. The issue now is that your lover’s health isn’t great right now. If she suffers from some other illness, that would be bad.”
These words were reasonable. The patient’s family member’s perception was now s.h.i.+fting.
