Chapter 681: Chapter 281 All Fulfilled, The Quack Kills_3
Obstetrics mostly involves surgeries like cesarean section, curettage, and ligation.
She rarely encountered cases of lymphoma in the throat.
Her related experience was also limited.
“The patient is now experiencing liver disease and hearing loss, with lymphoma found in the throat, I recommend conducting a bilateral ear CT and chest CT. The eardrum and lungs are key areas to examine. Additionally, it’s best to perform a lumbar puncture to check the cerebrospinal fluid routine.”
Zhou Can did not refuse this time and seriously gave further examination suggestions.
Director Zhang slightly nodded, his gaze turning towards the family members.
Before Director Zhang could speak, the family member bit her lip and nodded vigorously, “Do it, we will conduct all these tests.”
It was clear that Zhou Can’s successful initial diagnosis of a tumor in her daughter’s throat, which was later confirmed by tests, had elevated her trust in Zhou Can to an extremely high level.
She accepted all the examination suggestions Zhou Can made.
After Director Zhang issued the examination requests for the patient, she took her daughter for the tests without further mention.
After she left, Director Zhang sighed, “It would have been better if we had identified the cause of this girl’s illness earlier. It’s been two years now, her liver is damaged, and it caused multiple lesions throughout her body; the test results are probably going to be very poor.”
“Her treatment was indeed delayed.”
Zhou Can inwardly cursed, blaming incompetent doctors for harming people!
Some incompetent doctors treating people are essentially committing murder.
This girl had just turned nineteen, at the prime of her youth. Had the lymphoma in her throat been detected two years ago, how much better would that have been!
Now, it has involved multiple body tissues and organs, and there’s a high likelihood of metastasis.
Probably, all that can be done now is radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
The prognosis will be very poor.
For her case, she might not even survive the five-year survival period.
“Dr. Zhou, please, could you clarify if the three tests you recommended confirm that the tumor has metastasized to those areas?” Yang Chan watched as Zhou Can continuously diagnosed these complicated cases correctly, all verified.
His diagnoses were always accurate.
This made her secretly admire him while also being curious about this female patient’s condition.
With her current expertise, she naturally couldn’t as precisely determine whether the tumor had metastasized and to which areas like Zhou Can could.
Driven by strong curiosity, she consulted Zhou Can.
Zhou Can looked at her, his mood still somewhat heavy, hence his expression was relatively serious.
“It’s largely confirmed. The hearing loss definitely indicates the eardrum has been attacked by tumor cells, causing lesions. Also, her liver disease, including fatty liver, should be considered symptomatic. When lymphoma metastasizes, it more easily invades the lungs, so I asked for a chest CT. The liver is known as the most silent organ, lacking pain receptors and inherently having stronger resistance than other organs.”
To put it plainly, it’s well defended.
According to Zhou Can’s understanding, the liver is like a warrior clad in heavy armor, with high offense and defense.
For instance, the liver’s detoxification ability, no other organ can match.
This can be seen as having high offensive power.
“Why then is a lumbar puncture necessary?”
“It’s simple; mainly to check the cerebrospinal fluid routine. Although the head is at the very top of the body, considered the chief of the six yangs, the patient’s primary lesion is in the throat in the head and neck area, hence it’s very easy for it to invade the head. Additionally, some of her symptoms suggest that parts of the brain such as the cerebellum and nerves might already be involved.”
Zhou Can patiently clarified Yang Chan’s doubts.
Back during their studies, it was she who often taught others. She was truly a top female student.
Zhou Can didn’t pursue a master’s degree because he failed to qualify. Newest update provided by ɴovelfire.net
She, however, had the capability to pursue postgraduate studies or even obtain a direct recommendation. She chose to give up, insisting on entering the workforce after completing her undergraduate degree, likely due to her family’s financial situation.
Many girls are particularly sensible.
Knowing their families are not well-off, they not only live thriftily at school but also find ways to earn their tuition fees and obtain various scholarships. Then, despite being able to further their studies, they choose to enter the workforce early.
Yang Chan was a girl with particularly strong self-esteem; she never mentioned her family’s poverty in front of classmates or teachers.
Also, as far as Zhou Can knew, she had never applied for financial aid for the impoverished.
But seeing her usually dressed very simply, and the class leader not participating in high-cost activities, along with many other small details, made Zhou Can understand that her family was definitely among the very poor.
