Chapter 439: Chapter 200: This is Pseudo-Colitis, the Family Members Strongly Request This Examination_2
All necessary examinations have been conducted.
Basically, there is no need to do more.
Several indices in the blood work are abnormal, but they can be traced back and are consistent with diarrhea.
All examinations point to one disease: enteritis.
The patient has undergone a colonoscopy and indeed shows signs of intestinal inflammation, but it certainly isn’t ordinary enteritis. Otherwise, all previous diagnosing doctors almost amount to quacks.
Moreover, a doctor has treated the patient’s condition as chronic enteritis, with unconvincing treatment outcomes.
Director Jia found himself in a quandary.
As experienced as he is, it was difficult for him to diagnose the true cause at the moment.
The patient has become so emaciated, continuing without identifying the cause and blindly medicating is tantamount to pushing the patient into the jaws of death.
It’s estimated that in less than a month, the patient will end up in the intensive care unit.
"Qiu Hong, Zhou Can, you both take a look as well!"
Director Jia, unable to face the expectant gaze of the patient’s family, felt embarrassed and thus called on two figurative cobblers to make up numbers.
To ease the awkward atmosphere.
After examining the medical records, Qiu Hong raised several questions, all rebutted by Director Jia.
Zhou Can, on the other hand, remained silent.
His rule is not to speak lightly, but once he does, it’s to offer highly constructive suggestions.
Time passed minute by minute.
The family had been disappointed too many times, so when Director Jia failed to provide any concrete results, they seemed to have anticipated this.
They felt increasingly desperate.
At this moment, Zhou Can heard a faint gurgling sound from the patient’s belly. He was moved and quickly bent over to listen closely to the patient’s abdomen. Doctors often listen for wheezing in patients with lung diseases.
However, it is quite rare to check for bowel sounds in diarrhea cases.
"Is his bowel gurgling frequent?" Zhou Can directly asked the boy’s mother.
Usually, it would be his mother who took more care of him, and women being more attentive, might notice the bowel sounds.
"Well, it’s not too bad! The closer to mealtime, his stomach ’gurgles’ more frequently. Also, about half an hour after eating, it would make noises. But that’s a different sound, kind of like water shaking in a bottle, a ’sloshing’ sound."
This information provided by the patient’s mother was crucial.
Zhou Can has always been good at diagnosing the pathological mechanism and the focus of disease from an unconventional perspective.
After questioning the family, Zhou Can didn’t say anything else.
Instead, he picked up the patient’s medical reports again and occasionally exhibited a contemplative expression.
He has assisted Director Jia in Digestive Surgery, solving many difficult cases.
Director Jia has more than once praised him as a genius.
At this moment, with Zhou Can showing such an intense state, Director Jia actually harbored a sliver of hope.
He patiently waited for Zhou Can to think things through.
The family wondered to themselves, why does this Director Jia seem to be led by a student?
Normally, it’s the students who follow their teaching doctors!
They naturally didn’t know about Zhou Can’s abilities, or his special status in Digestive Surgery.
Director Jia and Qiu Hong were both very patient in waiting for Zhou Can, so the family naturally would not rush him.
For them, what mattered most was whether their son’s disease could be discovered and cured. Who figured it out was not important at all.
Time kept slipping away.
The family’s hopes were diminishing.
Just then, Zhou Can suddenly blurted out something unexpected.
"His enteritis is definitely pseudo-enteritis!"
"What do you mean?"
The family asked, puzzled.
"It means your son’s condition could be a false case of enteritis," Qiu Hong explained from the side.
"False enteritis? Then what disease does my son actually have?"
The patient’s father’s eyes sparked slightly.
"I took my son to another hospital for consultation once, and a specialist surnamed Qin mentioned something similar. He said the enteritis that my son has could be just a facade, and the real cause of diarrhea might be something else. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, he still couldn’t find the actual cause. The fact that this young doctor’s words are so similar to the specialist’s implies that he is truly capable."
After waiting for so long, the patient’s father initially thought that Tuya Hospital was overrated.
Not being able to diagnose the disease was one thing, but to let a young doctor join the diagnosis and even defer to him was preposterous.
Now that Zhou Can has identified his son’s disease as pseudo-enteritis, he realized that this young doctor was no ordinary person, but truly skilled.
"Director Jia, might it be that the patient doesn’t have any disease at all?"
The words Zhou Can said next were even more shocking.
Had it not been for his diagnosis that his son’s illness was pseudo-enteritis, the child’s father would certainly have stood up in anger and flipped the table.
Nonsense.
Who would seek medical treatment everywhere for no reason if there were no illness?
"Doctor, my son is so sick, how could he possibly not have a disease?" the child’s mother asked indignantly.
"Hmm... The ’no disease’ I mentioned is different from what you understand as ’no disease.’ I mean, he does not have an actual lesion."
Zhou Can clarified, then turned his gaze back to Director Jia.
His eyes conveyed a determination to discard falsehood and preserve truth, shining with confidence and firmness.
"What do you mean?"
Director Jia’s eyes narrowed into slits as he quickly pondered the meaning behind Zhou Can’s statement.
