title: "2387.2301 Asking about medical history, it's so hard"

"He departed after receiving the order, Lin Yuan felt uneasy."

"Where do the tiny blood clots in the blood vessels come from? There are many possible locations, the most common being detachment of plaque from the carotid artery."

"But the problem is here: the patient is so young, where did the arterial plaque come from?"

"The probability exists, but it's too small to consider at the moment."

"Lin Yuan recalled the medical record written by the inpatient doctor named Zhong Min from Hai Cheng, and also thought of many medical records written by Sister Chang Yue Yue, while walking and pondering Zheng Lao Ban's true intentions."

"This is a test of oneself! A genuine test."

"In the end, Lin Yuan was still clueless, only able to blame everything on Zheng Lao Ban for testing himself."

"Swedish Doctor Mei Ha'er performed the surgery, Professor Rudolf Wagner intended to accompany him back to Europe to begin the long work before the Nobel Prize."

"After walking past a Shou Bing Doctor, Zheng Lao Ban, is this to pass a test and then let himself be the chief surgeon?"

"Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a bit excited."

"But she immediately overturned her own thought—that's impossible!"

"Whether the Shou Bing is good or not has nothing to do with how well the medical record is written; Sister Yue's medical record is well written, and she has never undergone Shou Bing."

"Full of doubts, Lin Yuan came to the Neurology Department; there were many wards, and after searching for a long time, she finally found the ward where Yang Lixin was."

"But he had already been sent for Shou Bing, and Lin Yuan felt worried."

"If we go back like this, we won't be able to complete the task assigned by Zheng Lao Ban; what should we do?"

"Although the time spent in the medical team has been short, Lin Yuan has already developed some fear of Zheng Lao Ban."

"This is due to being overwhelmed on the technical level, unrelated to other matters. As a result, Lin Yuan felt uneasy, pondering whether meowing twice at Zheng Lao Ban could help her get away."

"But Zheng Lao Ban is not the family patriarch; the likelihood is estimated to be low, yet Lin Yuan still made a clear judgment."

"She stood at the ward entrance thinking for a long time, finally made up her mind to first ask the patient's family about the situation before saying anything else."

"She reached the Neurology Department's interventional surgery operating room; this side was unfamiliar to her, and she still needed to ask for directions. Lin Yuan felt she was too much of a homebody, actually not even knowing the basic locations of all departments in building 912."

"However, being naturally adventurous, Lin Yuan had no fear of difficulty and went straight to the door of the interventional surgery operating room."

"As for how to inquire with the patient's family, she already had a plan."

"\"Yang Lixin's family! \" Lin Yuan, wearing a White Coat, shouted loudly in front of the family of the patient awaiting Shou Bing."

"\"Doctor, what do you need from me? \" a 24- or 25-year-old girl timidly stood up, looking a bit scared."

"When a patient undergoes Shou Bing, what they fear most is the doctor calling out; anyone with a bit of common sense knows this. When the doctor calls the family, it definitely means the Shou Bing is not going smoothly and there are complications."

"Lin Yuan smiled and said, \"Don't be afraid, I'm an emergency department doctor, I'm here to learn about the medical history so I can write the record later. \""

"Upon hearing Lin Yuan say that, the girl's emotions steadied a bit."

"She and two of Yang Lixin's colleagues followed Lin Yuan to a relatively secluded spot, and Lin Yuan directly asked, \"Tell me about this condition. \""

"The girl glanced at Yang Lixin's colleague but did not speak right away."

"\"Doctor, it's like this. Today I went to the restroom; before even entering the door I heard a bang inside, went in and saw Xiao Yang fallen on the ground. \" The colleague said, \"He couldn't speak clearly, which scared me, so I immediately called 120 emergency services to send him to the hospital. The doctor said, if we had delayed sending him a little longer, he might have been left with a disability. \""

"What is this? Lin Yuan expressed dissatisfaction, saying there was almost nothing of value."

"Lin Yuan asked about when the illness occurred and how he was sent to the hospital, but still didn't obtain any particularly valuable information."

"\"Has the patient had previous episodes? \" Lin Yuan asked."

"\"Once, the corner of his mouth was a bit skewed; that happened a few months ago. \" Yang Lixin's girlfriend immediately said, \"However, Lixin didn't go to the hospital; he thought it was facial paralysis, took some medicine, and got better in a few days. \""

"Oh? He had previous episodes as well; that's a point, and Lin Yuan noted it down."

"The patient doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, but often stays up late. However, his physical condition is usually good and he rarely gets sick."

"No history of hypertension, Coronary Heart Disease, or diabetes; no clear family history, no Infectious Disease history, nor surgical trauma history—Lin Yuan asked about all these."

"That's all… Lin Yuan felt helpless, truly afraid that if she went back like this, she would be severely scolded by Zheng Lao Ban."

"Although Zheng Lao Ban is usually kind, he changes once he's on stage."

"Hitting one's own radial styloid with a Hemostatic Forcep really hurts; the key is being familiar with anatomical structure, otherwise others still can't break it."

"This time it involves a patient needing emergency Shou Bing; if I hastily ask a bit of medical history and go back, will I get beaten to death?"

"Sigh… Lin Yuan felt troubled."

"She looked at the patient's family and said, \"Besides that one time his eye corner was skewed, does he have any other problems? \""

"Yang Lixin's girlfriend is inexperienced and doesn't think much of it, but the two male colleagues feel Lin Yuan is a bit strange, as if she has something else in mind."

"\"Doctor, is Xiao Yang okay? \" a colleague said with a bitter face, \"He's so young; if he ends up disabled, what can we do? \""

"\"Uh... \" Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment; she didn't dare say there was nothing wrong, nor could she say there was something wrong, as this kind of thing has no answer."

"Seeing her hesitate, the family members became even more panicked."

"Yang Lixin's girlfriend had a flickering gaze, obviously frightened, and timidly asked, \"Doctor, will Lixin not be paralyzed? \""

"\"... \" Lin Yuan really felt this time that her clinical experience was lacking."

"She sighed and said, \"I'm an emergency department doctor; I'm just here to ask about the medical history so I can write the record later. If you want to know about the Shou Bing situation, you have to wait until the Shou Bing is done and ask the neurology department doctor. \""

"In the family members' eyes, disappointment and hope were intertwined, making it extremely complex."

"\"Any other conditions? What medication do you usually take? \" Lin Yuan was already preparing to leave; she knew her performance on this test wasn't high, and she didn't know whether Zheng Lao Ban would scold her."

"It probably won't happen; maybe next time during Shou Bing, the Hemostatic Forcep will hurt a bit more."

"\"Hmm... Lixin occasionally takes painkillers from time

Headache… Lin Yuan blankly noted this.

This disease is divided into six major categories and fifteen subtypes, ranging from mild to severe; it could be a migraine triggered by general neurological symptoms, or possibly an epileptic aura, or perhaps… In short, for cerebral infarction, it has no significance.

Many patients have suffered from migraines since childhood, yet they never knew what caused them.

But this still meant nothing, Lin Yuan thought. Now it seems most likely that the headaches are caused by recurring lacunar infarctions.

She politely bade farewell to the patient's family, feeling uneasy all the way, and returned to the Intervention Department.
