"Here." Zheng Ren took out a pen and pointed at the radiographic films with the tip of the pen. "The density isn't right. Tomographic reconstruction. The image analysis doesn't favor malignant tumors."
Su Yun stood at the back and watched quietly.
He could not understand why Zheng Ren would find an excuse to say no when there was such an obvious bone tumor on the radiographic films.
Was it to comfort the patient's family?
However, would it be more cruel to give hope in despair and then trample it out later?
Professor Rudolf Wagner hesitated and did not agree with Zheng Ren.
Although he was a top radiologist, he still hesitated when it came to rare diseases.
After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he continued to ponder.
He seemed to have had an inspiration just now, but before he could capture it, it quietly disappeared.
What on earth was wrong? When did it start?
Zheng Ren looked at the radiographic films, but his mind began to recall what the patient's father had said when he came in.
Could it be …
"Tell me again about your daughter's previous uncomfortable condition," Zheng Ren said.
"Weakness, shortness of breath, abdominal distension …" It was difficult for the patient's family to repeat it word for word, but these words had long taken root in his mind. Even if he wanted to forget them, he could not.
It was here!
A lightning-like light appeared in Zheng Ren's mind, cutting through the endless night.
What did bone tumors have to do with flustered shortness of breath and abdominal distension? It was not absolutely impossible, but there was no definite connection.
If it appeared, it must have affected other organs.
Zheng Ren's gaze immediately focused on the top of the 64-slice CT scan with 3D-image reconstruction.
He tapped the radiographic films with the pen in his hand, and the radiographic film viewer made a crisp sound, startling the professor.
"Lil Fugui, look here!" Zheng Ren was a little excited.
"Boss, in the mediastinum …" Professor Rudolf Wagner subconsciously wanted to say something, but when he looked over, all his words were stuffed back by an invisible hand.
There was a white shadow in the mediastinum. At first glance, it looked like a fat shadow. However, upon closer inspection, it was definitely not fat, but more like … hyperplasia of the thyroid or parathyroid gland.
Retrosternal thyroid, rare but not uncommon.
However, it had nothing to do with bone tumors.
"Boss, I think I understand what you mean …" Professor Rudolf Wagner's words were hesitant, vague, and uncertain.
Su Yun was a little confused, but it was only for a moment. In his mind, he recalled some special cases when he was researching the thyroid gland behind the sternum, as well as the records in the journal.
"Hyperparathyroidism!" Su Yun was excited. He lowered his voice and roared.
After saying that, he regretted it.
It shouldn't be like this … At this time, wouldn't it be more cool to pretend to stand in front of the radiographic film viewer and tell everyone that this was hyperparathyroidism, which resulted in abnormal bone density?
Could it be that he had been oppressed by Zheng Ren to the point where he had no sense of existence and was looking for an opportunity to explode?
This was not a good trend.
Su Yun was a little depressed.
Even if he wanted to show off, he could not. After all, Zheng Ren had pointed it out with a pen and he had only thought of it later.
It was all this film's fault. The first thing that came into view when he took it out was a patch of white spots. It definitely looked like a malignant tumor. Who would have thought that it was a rare disease?
While Su Yun was reflecting on himself, Zheng Ren smiled and said, "I think the patient is not a bone tumor. Just like Su Yun said, it's hyperparathyroidism."
The patient's family was also in a daze when they heard Zheng Ren say so with such certainty.
Although he had a glimmer of hope, he also knew that this should be just his imagination.
If this was not Sea City, not Sea City General Hospital, but Imperial Capital and Union Medical Association, perhaps they would believe it.
However, a doctor from Sea City said that it was not a bone tumor. Was it credible?
It was completely unbelievable.
"When the parathyroidism occurs, bone absorption intensifies, causing osteoporosis to occur earlier, faster, and more seriously.
Patients basically have different degrees of bone pain symptoms, especially in the waist and legs. If it's mild, it's easy to get tired. If it's severe, it's difficult to walk or even stand, "Zheng Ren said. "Hurry up and treat it, but even if it's treated immediately, the child will probably suffer a lot."
The patient's father was in a daze for a moment.
"In another one or two months, the patient's height will shorten and her whole body will be in severe pain. However, if there is corresponding treatment, it will be better. However, whether she can stand up and walk in the future depends on her willpower and the effect of the treatment, "Zheng Ren said.
"…"
The more he said, the more it seemed to be true. The patient's family almost believed it.
There was silence in the office.
Chang Yue and the others could not understand it, like ducks listening to thunder.
Su Yun was self-reflecting. Had he been 'oppressed' by Zheng Ren too much recently? His mentality was a little out of balance.
Zheng Ren was thinking about the next treatment plan, comparing it with the various articles in his memory.
As for the patient's family … They refused to believe it was true, but they did not dare to say anything, afraid that it was a dream. If he said it, the dream would wake up.
"Boss, I want to praise you, but I can't find the right words." Professor Rudolf Wagner suddenly broke the silence.
"…" Zheng Ren glanced at the professor.
"I remember a similar case. It is indeed abnormal bone density caused by hyperparathyroidism. It looks like the imaging manifestation of a malignant tumor, so I can only use rich … "The professor racked his brains, wanting to praise Zheng Ren, but he was interrupted by Zheng Ren.
"Su Yun, go to the operating theater and push down the intraoperative ultrasound machine," Zheng Ren said. "Do a B-scan and it will be clear at a glance."
Indeed, a thyroid B-scan was enough.
However, who would do a thyroid ultrasound for a patient with advanced bone cancer?
Su Yun did not say anything. He left in silence, the black hair on his forehead fluttering weakly.
"Chief … Chief Zheng, you … you're not comforting me, are you?" the patient's father finally mustered up the courage to ask.
He was afraid that this ray of hope would disappear. He did not even want to ask Zheng Ren. Even if it was a lie, it would be better if it lasted longer.
Zheng Ren smiled and said, "There's no point in comforting you. I'm talking about the actual situation. "
This was the best news the patient's father had heard in recent times.
He wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve and hurriedly thanked Zheng Ren.
"It's not that simple," Zheng Ren said seriously. "Although it's not a malignant tumor, uh … there's a high probability that it's not, if my judgment is accurate, your daughter will suffer for the next few months. Pain all over her body, her body will shorten, and her bones will deform. "
This was the second time Zheng Ren had described it. The patient's father listened carefully and was stunned.
According to Zheng Ren, the body would shrink out of thin air … This was a scene that would only appear in hell.
