Lin Ge sat in the ward for more than ten minutes. Zheng Ren did not have anything else to ask, so he threw down the money and left.
"Boss, it doesn't seem like it's a life-threatening problem," Su Yun said as he looked at Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren's eyes kept staring at the radiographic films as if there were flowers on them.
Soon, Lin Ge returned.
He looked at Zheng Ren expectantly, but when he saw that Zheng Ren's face was as dark as still water, he felt a little helpless.
Boss Zheng probably did not have any new diagnoses.
No new diagnosis is a good thing, Linger comforted himself.
However, when he saw that Zheng Ren was still deep in thought, he did not disturb him. He stood quietly by the side and waited for Zheng Ren to speak.
As time ticked by, the office was so quiet that it made one's heart palpitate.
With the big boss of the medical administration division around, the doctor on duty in the VIP ward accompanied him for a while. He felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, so he found an excuse to leave the office.
After a few minutes, Lin Ge looked at Zheng Ren and then at Su Yun. He did not know what the two of them were thinking.
"Chief Lin." Zheng Ren suddenly spoke, startling Lin Ge.
"Ah …"
"Do you see any changes in Chief Mao?" Zheng Ren asked.
Lin Ge didn't know how to answer this question, as he was a little flustered. However, he was a veteran in dealing with medical disputes after all. He pondered for a moment and thought about what Boss Zheng should be thinking. Then, he replied, "Mao Mao is very listless."
"What else?"
"There are small purpura on the limbs. Some have healed, but some haven't. I can only see his hands and feet, nothing else. "
"Yes."
"Also … his hair was messy, and his eyes were dull. When he spoke, his tone was different from usual." Lin Ge racked his brains to recall the scene for Boss Zheng.
Zheng Ren crossed his arms and looked at the radiographic films without saying a word.
"Excessive internal heat. He said that his teeth are broken."
"I have no strength in my limbs. I can't walk."
"He doesn't like to eat. Eating is like taking medicine. He has to drink water."
Lin Ge pieced together Director Mao's various symptoms bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste.
"Wait," Zheng Ren said. "Your teeth are all broken?"
"…" Su Yun was speechless. Lin Ge was equally speechless.
"What happened?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Can you pay attention to the big things?" Su Yun said unhappily. "Boss, are you tired from flying back? On one hand, it's hemophagocytic syndrome, and on the other hand, it's a bad tooth, or even caries … "
As he spoke, Su Yun suddenly froze. "Rampant dental caries?"
"En!" Zheng Ren nodded fiercely. His doubts gradually became clear. "Chief Lin, tell me about Chief Mao's decayed teeth. Can you see it?"
"…" Lin Ge was still stunned.
Rampant dental decay. He didn't even know there was such a diagnosis.
"Chief Lin, can you see Chief Mao's decayed teeth?" Su Yun asked.
Why does it have anything to do with tooth decay?
Lin Ge was stunned. Although he didn't understand, he immediately said, "I can see it."
Silence. The few seconds of silence made the atmosphere in the office a little awkward.
Only then did Lin Ge realize that the two of them were probably waiting for his description.
Why did I get distracted? Lin Ge immediately tried to recall and said, "I didn't see it very clearly. When Mao Mao was talking, she seemed to deliberately not open her mouth, but I could see that there was a decayed tooth on the left side of her body. Only the root was left. Rotten … the real culprit wasn't here before. "
"One of the teeth on the right side has already turned black."
Linge searched for every detail, but that was all he could say.
He couldn't go on anymore.
It was very difficult to remember every detail at that time. It was something that Linge could barely do after many years in the medical administration division. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to notice these things.
"Rampant dental caries, plus the need to use water to send food down, consider Sjogren's syndrome!" Zheng Ren clenched his right hand into a fist and punched his left hand.
"Well, this explains why there's pulmonary hypertension. F * ck … to even get this kind of disease, Chief Mao's luck is really not good, "Su Yun said with a smile.
"Uh … Boss Zheng, Doctor Su, wait a moment." Linge asked in surprise, "Sjogren's syndrome? What's that? "
"Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that mainly involves the exocrine glands. It's also known as autoimmune exocrine gland epithelitis or autoimmune exocrine disease," Zheng Ren said.
"…"
"A small number of patients will have lung changes, dry cough, shortness of breath, and in serious cases, hemoptysis. In addition, patients with pulmonary hypertension will not recover well after recovery, "Zheng Ren said.
"Uh …"
"Rampant dental caries is one of the hallmarks of Sjogren's syndrome. Patients will have multiple uncontrollable dental caries, which will gradually turn black, then small pieces will fall out, and finally, only residual roots will be left." Zheng Ren's eyes gradually brightened as he quickly explained the diagnosis.
"Well … What if it's just dental caries?" Linge stammered.
"No problem." Su Yun smiled and said, "Chief Lin, I'll go take a look."
"Ah?"
"It can make people laugh, but it can also make them cry. If it's Sjogren's syndrome, there's no secretion from the lacrimal glands, which means that there are no tears when you cry, "Su Yun said." I'll know once I take a look. "
Having said that, he turned and left.
"Doctor Su, don't." Linge immediately chased after him.
Zheng Ren did not stop Su Yun.
Although there was no good clinical treatment for Sjogren's syndrome when it came to a clear diagnosis, it would be helpful for further treatment.
In fact, the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome had its own criteria. It was divided into oral symptoms, ocular symptoms, physical signs, histological examination, parotid gland damage, autoantibody changes, and so on.
However, Chief Mao would not let him go for a physical examination, so Su Yun's method was the simplest and most direct.
After Su Yun went out, Zheng Ren thought for a moment and followed him out.
Linge followed behind Su Yun in the corridor to persuade him, but Su Yun laughed with him with a cheeky smile.
"Chief Lin, let him go," Zheng Ren said. "Su Yun, go with the excuse of visiting Chief Mao."
"Do I need you to teach me?" Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren and said disdainfully.
Linge was in a dilemma.
He was the one who had caused this trouble. How old was he? Why did he have to make Chief Mao cry?
"Chief Lin, don't go in. It's hard to say. Let's take a look from the outside," Zheng Ren said.
Linge had no choice but to follow Zheng Ren. He wanted to say something but swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Zheng Ren was not in a hurry. He walked slowly behind him. He did not joke with Linge. He was just thinking about the diagnosis just now.
Many conditions and symptoms pointed to Sjogren's syndrome. He would take a look from the outside later and refer it to the System panel.
Even without the System panel, rampant dental decay could be diagnosed with a high probability.
Soon, a burst of angry cursing came from the ward.
