Great Medical System in a Veterinarian-Chapter 250 - 136: The Elder Abandoned by the Times—Bed Sore Snake Disease! [Second Update, Please Vote]
Even if the person in question is an elderly granny, it’s the same.
"This..."
The granny looked at Boss Lu.
"Second Aunt, just let him check you then. Dr. Zhang really can’t take any money!"
Boss Lu said.
This second aunt lives at the very top of the village, in an area with only a few households. Currently, she lives alone. She has a daughter who married elsewhere, and her son works outside, seemingly unable to use a phone. The children only come back during holidays.
None knew she was suffering from such ailments.
It’s good to have Dr. Zhang take a look.
If there really is a problem, they can contact her children to take her to the hospital.
"Hahaha, this granny is quite amusing."
"For some reason, seeing Granny Hong gives me an inexplicable feeling of nostalgia for the granny back home."
"Yeah, there are so many left-behind elderly in the countryside now. But honestly, if there were any work to do back home, who would choose to go out to find work?"
"It’s all for the sake of making a living, there’s really no choice. My grandmother is also over seventy. My parents work outside, and I’m studying away. I bought her a phone, but she can’t use it at all. Today’s society is too unfriendly to the elderly; it’s as if they’ve been abandoned. Look at this granny: her belly aches, and her back feels like it’s being pricked with needles all the time, yet she just endures it. If it weren’t for Aunt Fu’s sister calling, everyone chatting about the miraculous Dr. Zhang, she probably wouldn’t even think of getting checked out."
As for Granny Hong,
everyone finds her endearing and amusing, but there’s also an underlying sadness.
Because there are many such elderly in the countryside.
Especially in remote areas.
Her children left for factory work on the coast, leaving her alone at home.
No phones, and when she’s ill, she basically pushes through until she can’t anymore.
When she absolutely can’t endure it, she might look for a neighbor to contact the children, or even go to the hospital by herself.
But hospitals nowadays require online appointments, pre-booking appointments, or even self-service registration.
For elderly folks, it’s completely alienating.
If they can’t read, seeing a doctor becomes an issue.
At the county hospital and the county’s traditional hospital, it’s common to see bewildered elderly folks standing there helplessly.
After all, when it’s busy, the guide nurses can’t attend to everyone, let alone guide them through the entire examination process.
"Alright then, Dr. Zhang, it’s really hard on you, honestly. The stomach pain can be tolerated for a bit, but the bone spike on my back is unbearable. It hurts so much at night I can’t sleep!"
At this moment, Granny Hong extended her hand, speaking to Zhang Lingchuan.
"Alright, let me take a look."
Zhang Lingchuan placed his hand on her wrist.
[System prompt, detecting host diagnosing a patient; system-assisted scan initiated.]
[Precise Detection... 4 times remaining.]
[Ordinary Detection... zero times remaining for today.]
[Initiating Precise Detection, scan complete. Host gains 100 Professional Reputation points, please wait...]
When he came into contact with the granny,
the system detected he was diagnosing someone and automatically initiated the scan.
Previously, there were five Precise Scans.
He used one when examining that lady, Ms. Fu, for parasites.
[Professional Reputation: Level 4: 4500/5000 (Intern Doctor)]
His Professional Reputation increased by another hundred.
It’s currently at 4500.
After scanning this granny, his Professional Reputation should reach 4600.
Then he’d only need another 400 to advance.
After going to the school, it probably won’t be long before he advances.
Thinking about it, it’s quite fast.
And who knows what items the Special Treasure Chest upon advancement will contain.
People,
always like to daydream.
[System Scan Complete.]
[Patient Name: Hong Jiayun.]
[Patient Gender: Female.]
[Patient Age: 72 years old.]
[Patient Condition: Decreased appetite, fatigue, pain, slight fever, muscle soreness, nighttime needle-like pain.]
[Patient Diagnosis: Latent herpes, also known as girdle dragon, girdle fire dragon, snake ring sore, and flying snake disease. Currently, there’s no immediate life threat.]
[System Prompt: This patient has latent herpes with significant neuralgic symptoms, mainly affecting the back, occurring between 3 to 5 AM. This virus initially presents as chickenpox and can remain dormant in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord. A weakened immune system may reactivate the virus. Although this patient currently shows no significant skin symptoms, the neuralgia is quite pronounced. The host can recommend they go to a hospital for diagnostics, such as serological tests, PCR tests, skin biopsy, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and field of vision checks to determine the cause, followed by antiviral treatment.]
The scan results are out.
Though it’s a bit surprising, it’s also not unexpected.
Because this is a common disease among the elderly.
In folk terms, it’s often called snake ring sore, flying snake disease, or girdle dragon.
Because when it flares up, it can wrap around the body, looking as if one is being enveloped by a snake.
There are even rumors that once it completes a full circle, it’s the end.
But it’s not that terrifying.
Positive intervention is necessary.
"Dr. Zhang, after the pulse check, you should also look at the painful areas. Especially the back, check if a bone spike has really grown. What’s bizarre is, it only hurts at night, not at all during the day."
Granny Hong spoke to Zhang Lingchuan as he was checking her pulse.
Everyone was listening intently.
After all, it feels like the granny’s words are becoming more and more exaggerated.
Even Chen Qian was curious, searching online what exactly a bone spike is.
It’s truly the first time hearing about this in one’s life.
Meanwhile, in the live chat, some viewers started explaining.
