My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points-Chapter 1215 - 480: Pseudopregnancy, Operating on a Hopeless Patient
"The fetal heart rate matches the mother’s heart rate, this is so rare!"
Although they are not obstetrics specialists, they often have the opportunity to treat various pregnant women in the emergency department. Typically, the mother’s heart rate is far lower than the fetal heart rate.
"Dr. Zhou suspects that the fetal heart rate is actually the mother’s heart rate?"
Yang Chan asked with a sense of understanding.
"It should be! I’ve encountered a case like this before, which turned out to be a fake pregnancy. The fetal heart rate you measured just now is likely just the mother’s pulse."
[Pathological diagnosis Experience Points +1, reward Pathological diagnosis Experience Points +100.]
The harvest was quite good, he was rewarded with 100 Pathological diagnosis Experience Points.
Earning Pathological diagnosis Experience Points is extremely difficult.
Fortunately, he frequently receives some consultation tasks, and as long as he successfully diagnoses them, he usually can earn a decent experience point reward.
Currently, his pathological diagnosis skill is steadily advancing toward Level 6.
Pharmacological differentiation lags far behind, even though he issues quite a few prescriptions every day. There are many opportunities for medication.
However, the medications are mostly routine, issuing a prescription at most adds one or two Pharmacological differentiation Experience Points. It’s rare to receive a large reward like pathological diagnosis.
Successfully diagnosing this pregnant woman with a fake pregnancy was indeed not easy.
This matter is so bizarre that most people have never heard of it.
Zhou Can once heard that a hospital had admitted a woman in labor, and since her water had already broken, without the time for examination, she was directly sent to the delivery room. Later, she only expelled a large amount of bright yellow fluid without any fetus being delivered.
Upon investigation, the woman’s body merely mimicked the pregnancy process, without an embryo.
Later, the family believed the hospital had stolen the child and reported it to the police, further escalating it to higher authorities, even filing a lawsuit in court. The hospital was full of grievances over this incident. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Since the woman’s water had broken, insisting on a prenatal check seemed unreasonable.
Following emergency treatment principles, they only drew blood from the woman before urgently admitting her to the delivery room.
Blood was drawn to test the woman’s blood type and check for any bloodborne infections.
This later became crucial evidence for the hospital to prove that the woman was not pregnant.
Diagnosing pregnancy in a woman is not only possible through B-ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound.
Checking hCG levels in the blood can also accurately diagnose whether a woman is pregnant.
After conception, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood increases rapidly.
The HCG test not only diagnoses pregnancy but also detects whether the woman has an ectopic pregnancy.
While ectopic pregnancy occurs after conception, the blood hCG test results will differ from those of a normal pregnancy. Doctors with some experience can identify the issue from the blood test results.
"What fake pregnancy? Can this belly of mine be fake?"
Although the woman suffered multiple injuries, with her right leg even fractured, she was quite fierce.
Upon hearing Zhou Can say she was experiencing a fake pregnancy, she angrily questioned him.
"Doctor, you must be wrong. The first three months of my girlfriend’s pregnancy, she vomited heavily. Now her belly is so big, how could it be a fake pregnancy?"
The woman’s aggrieved boyfriend also denied Zhou Can’s diagnosis.
"If you doubt it, you can have a blood hCG test, and then an abdominal Doppler ultrasound." Zhou Can said to the two.
Since it was a car accident, these two were migrant workers in the city.
The family had not yet arrived at the hospital.
"Let’s do it then, but when it’s confirmed that I am pregnant, you must apologize to me.":
The woman was especially fierce.
Facing such a fierce female patient, Zhou Can always preferred to keep his distance.
"Squad leader, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the operating room to work. Before this patient is tested thoroughly, don’t admit her to the delivery room."
Zhou Can gave her a piece of advice.
Because the pregnant woman was seriously injured, if any contractions occur and she’s pushed into the delivery room, things would become difficult to address.
In Zhou Can’s eyes, Yang Chan was considered a novice doctor.
Very prone to making excessively considerate gestures for the patient in emergency situations. Soft-hearted doctors and nurses aren’t suited to survive in the current harsh medical environment.
"You get busy then!"
She glanced at Zhou Can resentfully, clearly displeased with his eagerness to leave.
With her intelligence, she likely long suspected Zhou Can was intentionally avoiding her.
But love is something no one can explain clearly.
Especially as her age was gradually increasing, the pressure to marry was mounting. But the men she encountered couldn’t compare to Zhou Can.
Back when she was studying, Zhou Can pursued her, and she looked down upon him, the wealthy second generation.
Now that she’s older, with some social experience and gradually matured thinking, she realizes how regrettable it is to have missed Zhou Can.
Nowadays, not only does Zhou Can have wealth, but his medical skills are quite famous within the hospital.
Additionally, his reputation in medical ethics is excellent.
Moreover, his proactive stance advocating for the rights of all frontline clinical healthcare workers, protesting the security department’s negligence, and the hospital’s disregard for clinical staff’s personal safety, left an epic heroic image in her mind.
Her family pushed her to go on blind dates, but finding a partner meeting Zhou Can’s standards is incredibly difficult.
...
After finishing his afternoon surgery, Zhou Can went to the cafeteria to eat and heard Ma Xiaolan talk about the pregnant woman.
