Chapter 1728: 1669 Professional

Lao He's friends were somewhat surprised, after all Zheng Ren looked so young.

But he didn't understand hospital matters; coming to seek treatment, it wasn't good to say much. Whatever Lao He said, he just listened.

"Zheng Lao Ban, Greeting. I'm Zhang Guohui, you can call me..."

Lao He's friend gave a greeting, then realized he didn't know what to say next.

Seeing Lao He's respectful demeanor, one should let this Zheng Lao Ban call himself Little Zhang. But his age, estimated under thirty.

"Not so polite." Zheng Ren laughed: "Brother Zhang, let's go, I'll take you to see Cui Lao."

Arriving at Cui Lao's clinic, the old man was wearing spectacles while looking at documents.

Seeing Zheng Ren and the patient come in together, he slowly raised his head, took off his spectacles, and asked about the situation.

"Have a seat, tell me how you got the illness." Cui Lao asked slowly.

This time Zhang Guohui felt things were finally on the right track; seeing a doctor, an old physician is more trustworthy.

"Cui Lao, it's like this." Zhang Guohui sat down, then eagerly said: "I was on the 12th... now it should be the 13th day, 13 days ago I was bitten by a mosquito and got a bump. Very itchy, but on the left side here."

He pointed to his eyelid.

"Then after 5 days, it moved to the right side here."

He again pointed to his right lower eyelid.

"Very Uncomfortable, and I dare not scratch, afraid I'd damage my eyes." Zhang Guohui said anxiously.

"First time, are you sure it was a mosquito? Second time, were you bitten by a mosquito?" Cui Lao asked.

"Certain!" Zhang Guohui said firmly: "The first time I felt pain, so I slapped myself in the face with a slap, Pa! It hurt."

The two "pain" words were somewhat excessive; the several doctors present automatically ignored his description.

"I took a look, it's indeed a mosquito, and it still had blood." Zhang Guohui said.

"And the second time?" Cui Lao asked.

"The second time I didn't feel a mosquito bite me; I slept a night, and the next morning I discovered the right side here started to itch. Looking in the mirror, there was another bump."

"I thought mosquitoes had gotten into the house; I didn't notice, so I didn't think much of it."

"Then after 3 days, the bump on the eyelid disappeared, and a bump appeared on the arm."

Speaking, he took off his outer clothing, revealing his left arm.

Zhang Guohui's left arm near the biceps had a 3cm diameter lesion, surrounding red and swollen, with a white point in the middle.

"Little Zheng, go find Zhou Litao and get an incision kit." Cui Lao said.

Zhang Guohui was startled.

The incision kit, just by its name you know what it's for.

"Cui... Cui Lao, right here... cut?" Zhang Guohui stumbled over his words.

"Not cutting, I just want to have a look." Cui Lao still said slowly and deliberately.

Zhang Guohui was very cautious, carefully asking: "Cui Lao, don't trick me. You talk to me on this side, then directly cut on the other side; I've seen that before."

"Oh? What have you seen?" Cui Lao asked.

"My classmate had a shoulder dislocation; I accompanied him to the Hospital. The doctor had him sit in a chair, then we started talking about school matters. While we were chatting happily, he suddenly pulled my classmate's shoulder out."

Zheng Ren just happened to bring back the incision kit, and also brought iodine and cotton swabs.

Hearing Zhang Guohui's account, Zheng Ren laughed.

This belongs to describing certain things, extremely exaggerated.

Shoulder dislocation, due to tendon strength, after the humeral head leaves the glenoid cavity it moves upward, forming a deformity.

Treatment is also simple: sit in a chair, pull downward, the humeral head returns to the glenoid cavity, restoring normal anatomical structure.

To pull it out, such a description is simply too exaggerated.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Cui Lao smiled gently: "I'll show you a magic trick."

"Huh?" Zhang Guohui paused.

"Did you see the white point inside the wound?" Cui Lao said.

"I saw it."

Cui Lao held the Hemostatic Forceps, lightly touching the white point, then immediately releasing.

That white point directly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhang Guohui's attention remained on the Hemostatic Forceps in Cui Lao's hand; he pondered that Cui Lao definitely used the forceps to clamp something out.

The old man looked aged, but his hand speed was truly fast; I didn't even see him move.

After all, a surgeon is a surgeon! Old ginger is still spicy.

"Diagnosed." Cui Lao said: "It's a creeping malignant filaria infection from mosquito bite. Go do a minor surgery, just excise the lump and it'll be fine."

"What?" Zhang Guohui stunned: "Wasn't it already taken out?"

"Just now I merely touched the worm's body, and it burrowed in." Cui Lao said: "Generally, this kind of parasite that only wanders in the epidermis, with a clear mosquito bite history, are all creeping malignant filaria."

"..." Zhang Guohui's face instantly turned extremely grim.

Indeed, fear summons it; I never expected to actually have worms growing in my body.

Just thinking about worms wriggling under the skin... Zhang Guohui got goosebumps.

"Don't be afraid, it's fine." Cui Lao said: "This worm mainly infects mammals of the canine family; in humans, aside from constantly wandering, there are no special side effects."

"Why?" Zhang Guohui asked instinctively.

"Because it cannot complete its life cycle in humans, this parasite's harm is actually not too great." Cui Lao glanced at him, then said: "Since Little Zheng is here, let's go directly to the pharmacy to do the incision."

Zheng Ren nodded.

"Does it hurt?" Zhang Guohui was a bit afraid.

"With anesthesia." Lao He personally saw Zheng Ren himself pull the worm out of the arm, already having some immunity, so not very afraid; "Besides, if not pulled out, it will keep growing larger, and eventually it'll be too late."

"It won't happen, at most it'll grow for two years, the longest only 1.8 meters." Su Yun poured a spoonful of oil onto the fire.

Zhang Guohui was a bit listless, but Zheng Renye didn't care much.

There are many timid people; in the Emergency Department, there are those who come with their wives for suturing, and there are also plenty of big gentlemen who faint at the sight of blood.

So it's still better to let Lao He come and persuade them.

He asked, "Cui Lao, how did you just confirm that?"

"I've seen 78 cases of crawling evil silk worm patients; this is the 79th." Cui Lao said slowly.

Zheng Renhe and Su Yun were instantly speechless.

Moreover, Cui Lao is over seventy years old and can still remember this so clearly.

The important thing is that crawling evil silk worm is a relatively rare disease; he, the old man, doesn't remember it for publishing a paper, just casually keeps it in mind, so he'll recall it when seeing a patient next time.

What is rich clinical experience?

This is it!

What is professionalism?

This is what professionalism is!

"Before 1917, Soviet medical workers reported the first case of extracting the worm's larva from a human eye; however, after he analyzed Soviet and foreign literature, he drew the conclusion: all immature female worms with a sheath found in the human body belong to the crawling evil silk worm."
